First-Named Manufacturer
1.
Within these specifications and associated drawings, the first-named approved
manufacturer indicates that its respective device, equipment or system may have been
used to meet the job requirements and to determine the space and dimensional
requirements. The CIC’s use of another pre-approved system may require that the CIC
verify that the respective devices, equipment, systems or products will meet the job
requirements and will fit the allocated space.
2.
The listing of a manufacturer as acceptable or pre-approved does not in any way relieve
the CIC from the responsibility for providing devices, equipment or systems that meet the
requirements of the specifications. The CIC shall verify that performance requirements
are met, as no two manufacturers should be trusted as exactly identical in function, fit, or
finish.
COORDINATION
A.
The CIC shall coordinate the arrangement, installation, and finishing of the communications
cabling system.
1.
All faceplate colors and finishes shall be coordinated with the architect.
2.
Any conduit, pathway, or sleeve requirements shall be coordinated with the MEP
engineer.

opening. Fire stop systems shall maintain the original fire resistance rating of the wall, partition,
barrier, or floor prior to the penetration.
B.
Expansion type fire stop material shall be used where necessary to protect and close the
opening upon failure of the penetrating element due to fire.

COMMON WORK RESULTS FOR INSTALLATION
A.
Locations and routes of pathways shown on drawings are schematic and not necessarily
reflective of conditions at time of installation, or were positioned for clarity rather than exact
spacing, bending, or desired separation. The CIC shall review any and all such pathways shown
on the drawings to ensure that the proposed solution will function as intended with regard to
quantities, sizes, locations, etc.
B.
The CIC shall review the actual conduit plans proposed by the MEP or EC to ensure that
conduits intended for the communications cabling system are correctly sized, adequately
positioned, and have the requisite number of pull boxes as required by the actual materials
proposed by the CIC, and/or as the CIC desires as optimal for installation. The CIC shall be

responsible for any and all costs associated with conduit changes resulting from failure to
preview and approve the pathways installed by others.
C.
Install all materials in compliance with manufacturer’s written directions.
D.
The CIC shall protect all stored or installed materials as part of these systems before, during, or
after installation from damage caused by other trades until turnover and final acceptance. If
damage occurs despite such protections, remove and replace all damaged components or the
entire unit(s) as required to provide a solution in an original, undamaged condition.
E.
Take field measurements as required to fit the Work properly. Recheck measurements before
installing each product. Where portions of the Work are indicated to fit to other construction,
verify dimensions of other construction by field measurements before fabrication. Coordinate
fabrication schedule with construction progress to avoid delaying the Work.
F.
Verify space requirements and dimensions of items shown diagrammatically on the associated
project drawings.
G.
Immediately on discovery of the need for clarification of the Contract Documents caused by
differing field conditions outside the control of the CIC, submit a request for information to the
GC according to the requirements specified in Division 01.
3.2
FIRESTOPPING
A.
The CIC shall install fire stopping material in accordance with construction elements and
manufacturer specification.
B.
Thoroughly clean and remove any fire stopping material that drips or falls onto wall or floor
surfaces.
C.
After installation, protect the fire stop material from damage during construction. If damage
occurs despite such protections, remove and replace fire stopping material as required to
restore the integrity of the fire rating.

quantities, sizes, locations, etc.
K.
The PIC shall review the actual conduit plans proposed by the MEP or EC to ensure that
conduits intended for the paging system are correctly sized, adequately positioned, and have
the requisite number of pull boxes as required by the actual materials proposed by the PIC,

after installation from damage caused by other trades until turnover and final acceptance. If
damage occurs despite such protections, remove and replace all damaged components or the
entire unit(s) as required to provide a solution in an original, undamaged condition.
E.
Take field measurements as required to fit the Work properly. Recheck measurements before
installing each product. Where portions of the Work are indicated to fit to other construction,
verify dimensions of other construction by field measurements before fabrication. Coordinate
fabrication schedule with construction progress to avoid delaying the Work.
F.

PAGING SYSTEM TESTING
A.
All devices shall be tested for correct functionality as recommended by the respective
manufacturer.
B.
All wiring shall be tested for wiremap, where applicable, and continuity.
3.9
PAGING SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION
A.
3.10
The PIC shall thoroughly label the entire paging system for future maintainability.
1.
All wires and cables shall be labeled at both ends.
2.

UL969.
3.
Labels shall be preprinted or printed by a computer. Labels written by hand are not
acceptable.
4.

5.
This identification should be listed twice on each label: once on the left side, and once on
the right side. When the center of the label is placed on the wire and the two adhesive
ends of the label are connected, the identification then appears on each side of the label.
The intent of this practice is that a technician can easily read the label regardless of how
it enters, lies, or crosses into the device.

A.
The PIC shall thoroughly document the entire paging system for future maintainability and
troubleshooting.
B.
Documentation shall include but not be limited to:
1.

First-Named Manufacturer
1.
Within these specifications and associated drawings, the first-named approved
manufacturer indicates that its respective device, equipment or system may have been
used to meet the job requirements and to determine the space and dimensional
requirements. The AVIC’s use of another pre-approved system may require that the AVIC
verify that the respective devices, equipment, systems or products will meet the job
requirements and will fit the allocated space.
2.
The listing of a manufacturer as acceptable or pre-approved does not in any way relieve
the AVIC from the responsibility for providing devices, equipment or systems that meet
the requirements of the specifications. The AVIC shall verify that performance
requirements are met, as no two manufacturers should be trusted as exactly identical in
function, fit, or finish.
COORDINATION
A.
The AVIC shall coordinate the arrangement, installation, and finishing of the audiovisual system.
1.
Where a given component offers multiple color options, all such finishes shall be
coordinated with the architect.
2.
Any conduit, pathway, or sleeve requirements shall be coordinated with the MEP
engineer.
3.
The alignment and positioning of pull boxes, junction boxes, back boxes, conduit ends,
stubs, sleeves, etc., with AVIC-installed devices.
4.
Any equipment cut into, mounted on, or suspended from architectural elements such as
walls or ceiling shall be coordinated with the architect to ensure there is no conflict with
design intent or functionality.

reduce sag.
Q.
Locations and routes of pathways shown on drawings are schematic and not necessarily
reflective of conditions at time of installation, or were positioned for clarity rather than exact

Each device shall be given a unique identifier and labeled accordingly.
2.
B.
3.3
All references to this device in AVIC-prepared documentation, drawings, and labels shall
be consistent, except:
a.
O&M manuals or generic documentation
b.
Training materials, which should use “device friendly names”
c.

The SIC shall review the architect’s final door hardware schedule and provide and install all
materials necessary to integrate the operator (by others) into the access control system so that
card reader-type functions work seamlessly with the operator, limiting involvement only to
needed integration of the two systems: the SIC shall not be responsible for providing, installing,
correcting, or adjusting the door hardware.
C.

doors to stand in the fully open position for not less than five (5) seconds. The ADA operators
shall be set to stand open for the minimum amount of time required by code.
