by “Owner Action” and “Contractor action” columns that indicate coordination tasks which
define the various phases of the work.
3.
The intent of the categorization is to generally summarize the nature and extent of work
to be performed without in any way limiting specific requirements of the Contract
Documents.
4.
Some overlapping between the several construction operation will occur, and where
possible, permission may be granted to start certain portions of the work before the
previous operations were completed in their entirety. Such detail scheduling shall be

protective covering or other provisions to minimize possible damage. Repeat cleaning and
protection operations during remainder of construction period, wherever work might otherwise be
damaged by sustained soiling or exposure.
