Pre-Bid Meeting:
Pre-Construction Meeting: Before construction is started schedule
a meeting with the [Owner][Architect][funding source representative] and major
subcontractors to clarify responsibilities, schedules, procedures,
and special coordination concerns. Include discussions on [waste
management][healthful building]["green"building]
requirements.

HVAC, plumbing and electrical subcontractors to review design
drawings and assure coordination. Provide the participants system
design drawings as far in advance of the meeting as possible.
Hold project coordination meetings [as needed][at regularly scheduled
times] with representation by each party currently involved in
coordination or planning for the work of the project. Record results
of the meeting and distribute copies to everyone in attendance
to others affected by decisions taken.
1.03 SITE MANAGEMENT

requirements and potential damage to materials and equipment.
Store and handle materials in a manner as to prevent loss from
weather and other damage. Periodically inspect to assure that
stored products are undamaged and are maintained under required
conditions.
1.04 WASTE MANAGEMENT
General: In the administration and supervision of the work consider
conservation of energy, water and materials to the maximum extent
possible.
Source separation: Separate, store, protect, and handle at the
site identified recyclable and salvageable waste products in order
to prevent contamination of materials and to maximize recyclability
and salvageability of identified materials.

and protect work in progress and adjoining work on a continuous
maintenance basis. Use cleaning materials that are non hazardous.
Apply protective covering installed work where it is required
to ensure freedom from damage or deteriorization at time of substantial
completion. Ensure that none of the work, completed or in progress,
will be subjected to harmful, dangerous, or damaging exposure
during construction.
