for determining the erection and
dismantling of all barricade or
protective coverings necessary to
safeguard the public and property
during the performance and duration
of his or her work.
B. Contractor shall attach objects to

project structural engineer’s and the
manufacturer’s instructions unless
otherwise shown. Install level,
plumb, and at proper height. Repair
or replace damaged units as directed
by the Owner or Design Workshop
Visible abrasions to finished
surfaces must be repaired so that
damage is not visible.
C. Installation of all items shall be by
the contractor. Installation includes
provision of any required footings, all
anchor bolts, fastenings, attachment
metals, and other miscellaneous
metal items embedded in concrete
or building wall material as required,
and security of units in place with no
visible fasteners.
D. The contractor will be responsible for
any damage caused to building, site,
and adjacent objects or elements
during installation. The contractor
shall be responsible for cleaning up
all work areas upon the completion
of their work, on a daily basis.
E. The contractor shall provide
required electrical equipment
and connection to shell building.
The point of connection is to be
provided by the General Contractor.
All electrical connections shall be
made by a licensed electrician
employed by the contractor for
this purpose. All connections
shall be made in accordance with
the requirements of the National
Electrical Code (N.E.C.) in addition to
all applicable local codes. Electrical
contractor shall provide and install
all wiring, conduit, junction boxes
and electrical devices necessary to
provide electrical power to rough-in
connections unless otherwise noted.
Contractor shall provide concealed
neon transformers and all electrical
connections beyond rough-in
connections by electrical contractor,
according to N.E.C. approved
methods.
F. Contractor shall be responsible for
matching electrical service available
on site to the requirements of the
object, including transformers.
G. All necessary electrical components
as well as the entire assembly are
to be UL listed, or by approved
nationally recognized testing lab.
H. Contractor is responsible for
compliance with all applicable
environmental regulations.
I. Contractor is responsible for
compliance with all OSHA
regulations.
J. Contractor shall be responsible
for coordination of all elements
with the general contractor,
other sub-contractors and trades
people relative to this work. These
coordination efforts will include,
but not limited to: deliveries, work
schedules, and installation. Storage
space at the job site is limited and
will also require coordination and/
or approval. Materials or finished
work stored at the job site without
prior permission may be relocated at
contractor’s expense.
IX. SUBMITTALS
A. Shop drawings
The contractor shall submit three
sets of detailed shop drawings
(2 sets of prints, 1 reproducible
set of plans, elevations and scale
drawings) to Design Workshop
and 1 reproducible set plus 1 set
of prints to the Owner for review
prior to production. These drawings
are to show/indicate all materials,
finishes, construction details, lighting
requirements, installation details,
artwork and structure, including
locations of all material seams
(finished and unfinished). Shop
drawings and data shall be reviewed
by the Owner and Design Workshop
with such promptness as to cause
no delay in the work. The contractor
shall make all corrections required
and resubmit for final review. Final
reviewed shop drawings noted “No
Exceptions Taken” or “Exceptions as
Noted” must be received from the
Owner before production starts.
Shop drawings will be reviewed for
compliance with design intent only.
The contractor is responsible for
engineering each object to meet all
load and wind requirements with
sealed drawings and calculations
by certified engineers. The contractor
B. Illumination
Illuminate units in the manner
indicated using the manufacturer’s
standard lighting components
including: solar, fluorescent,
incandescent and/or neon, fixtures,
transformers, insulators and other
components. Make provisions
for servicing and for concealed
connection to the building system.
Coordinate all electrical components
with those of the power supply
provided.
C. Signage/Cabinet
Details shown on the drawing shall
be followed for exterior appearance.
Structural design shall utilize unitized,
self-supportive framing. Fabricate
cabinet, exposed faces and graphic
devices to size and style indicated
and produce surfaces free from oil
canning, warping, distortion or any
irregularities or inconsistencies.
Include internal bracing for stability
and attachment of mounting
accessories as required. Contractor
may change interior construction
shown on these details to conform
with his shop practices. However,
these changes must be submitted
as part of the shop drawings and be
reviewed and accepted by Design
Workshop prior to fabrication.
D. Fastenings
1. Fasteners on all visible surfaces
shall not be exposed, except where
noted.
2. Surfaces shall not be penetrated
during fabrication or installation,
except where noted.
3. Surfaces shall not be deformed,
distorted, or discolored by
attachment of concealed fasteners.
4. All fasteners shall be resistant to
oxidation or other corrosive action
completely through their cross
sections.
5. Work shall be secured with fasteners
of the same metal, color and finish
as the components they secure
where they are exposed to view.
6. Fasteners shall be utilized in strict
accordance with their manufacturer’s
specifications, directions,
recommendations and as indicated
on Design Intent Drawings.
E. Aluminum Sheet
Not less than 0.125” thick unless
noted otherwise. Fabricate by the
HELIARC or MIG welding process
with all visible seams continuously
welded, filled and ground smooth,
unless the seam occurs along a
color break. Then a clean butt joint
with concealed backing channel
and plug weld is finished to match
surrounding material finish. All
blinds, curves, and folds to be
geometrically correct and produced
by a consistent mechanical method
unless approved otherwise by
Design Workshop.
F. Jointing and Brake Forming
All sheet metal shall have brake
formed edges with radii not greater
than sheet thickness unless
otherwise specified. Adjacent stock
shall have edges with similar radii.
