General Information and Project Directory – Section 1
This design criteria provides information and lists requirements to be used in the preparation of
plans and specifications for Tenant’s mechanical and electrical work. Tenant’s plans and
specifications shall be prepared by and bear the seal of Architects and Engineers licensed by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and shall comply with current code requirements and meet the
requirements of all governing agencies exercising jurisdiction.
Tenant’s plans and specifications, with calculations and supporting data, shall be submitted for
review by the Landlord. Work will not be permitted to commence without plans and
specifications having prior review and written acceptance of the Landlord, as well as that of all
governing bodies exercising jurisdiction. Landlord’s review is solely for conformance to this
criteria and landlord’s review shall not be construed to be a guarantee of design or function
adequacy.
Tenant shall field verify exact location and size of demised premises, all service characteristics
and locations as well as any interference to the installation of Tenant’s work. Tenant shall
immediately notify Landlord of any discrepancies or interference and shall not commence any
work prior to the resolution thereof.
Under no circumstances, will Landlord permit Tenant's sprinklers and other equipment to hang
from the metal deck. Sprinklers and equipment must be hung from beams and bar joists.
Sprinkler and equipment loads must be limited to less than 150 pounds at each connection.
Sprinkler and equipment support connections should be made at the top chord of bar joist at
panel points (where diagonal struts form a ^ shape). Sprinkler and equipment supports may also
be connected to the bottom chord of bar joists at panel points (where diagonal struts form a V
shape). Sprinkler and equipment supports should be sufficiently numerous and staggered so that
sprinkler loads are evenly distributed across all structural members. If sprinkler and equipment
supports are located more than 3 inches from a panel point, additional structural reinforcement
may be required, requiring review by Landlord’s structural engineer. Combined sprinkler and
equipment loads on any one joist (all loads of any type) exceeding 300 pounds require review by
Landlord’s structural engineer. See Appendix Reference Detail D-8.
Tenant’s work shall be performed by licensed contractors. Tenant shall require any personal
performing such work to guarantee the work to be free from any and all defects in materials and
workmanship for one (1) year from date of beneficial use or acceptance. Tenant shall also
require any such person to be responsible for the replacement or repair, without additional
charge, of any and all work done, or furnished by or through such person, which shall become
defective or inoperable within one (1) year after beneficial use or acceptance. The correction of
such work shall include, without additional charge, all expenses and damages in connection with
the removal, repair or replacement of any part of the work which may be damaged or disturbed
thereby. All warranties and guarantees as to materials or workmanship, with respect to Tenant’s
work, shall be contained in the contract or subcontract which shall be so written that such
warranties or guarantees shall insure to the benefit of both Landlord and Tenant, as their
respective interests appear, and can be directly enforced by either. Tenant covenants to give
landlord any assignment or other assurances necessary to effect the same.
King of Prussia Plaza
1.1
General Information and Project Directory – Section 1
Tenant’s work shall be coordinated with the work being done by Landlord and other tenants, to
such extent that the Tenant’s work will not interfere with or cause delay of any other associated
construction work or business conduct.
Tenant shall engage the services of licensed Architects, Engineers, and contractors who will
work in harmony with each other and those of the Landlord. To this end there shall be no labor
dispute which would interfere with the construction, completion and operation of the Mall.
Tenant shall provide public liability and property damage insurance, in such amounts as
stipulated by Landlord, for all work performed by the Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors and/or
their suppliers.
Tenant is responsible to procure any and all necessary permits and obtain written approvals from
Landlord and all governing agencies exercising jurisdiction including, but not limited to, hot
work permit or sprinkler permit.
At the Tenant’s expense, and with Landlord’s written approval, any and all existing mechanical,
electrical and/or plumbing services, equipment or portion thereof not scheduled for re-use as part
of the Tenant’s construction, shall be demolished or otherwise safely terminated. A Tenant
electing to re-use existing services, equipment or portion thereof is permitted to do so provided
that the Tenant’s Engineer and/or contractor deems these components acceptable for re-use in the
new design. Tenant accepts full responsibility for the operational integrity of any and all existing
equipment. The re-use of existing services, equipment or portion thereof does not relieve the
Tenant of the responsibility to furnish plans as aforementioned.

Tenants Architect/General Contractor must provide the following information to the
Sprinkler Contractor regarding stock/storage area:
Type of storage units (Details of storage unit)
Type of shelving (wire mesh, solid, steel, wood, etc.)
Type of commodities (plastics, aerosol’s, clothing, etc.)
Elevation of highest shelf
Tenant shall be solely responsible for the display, installation and use of any display
or storage system within the Premises in compliance with applicable fire codes and
the requirements of any insurance rating bureaus. If anything done, omitted to be
done or suffered to be done by Tenant in, upon or about the Premises in regard to
such display or storage systems shall result in a fire code violation and Tenant fails
to take corrective action and/or pay the associated fine, regardless of whether
