1.2 GENERAL CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
A. Site Verification Requirements
1. The Architect has made a scope visit with measurements and photographs of existing conditions and the
Architectural Drawings indicate existing conditions verified in the field. It, however, remains the
responsibility of the Contractor to verify all existing conditions prior to the submission of his bid and to the
commencement of any Work. No additional compensation will be paid due to the Contractor’s failure to
acquaint himself with existing site conditions which include, but are not limited to, grades, extent of
paving, or utilities.
2. Any discrepancy with the existing site conditions and/or the Drawings shall be brought to the attention of
the Architect for clarification and instruction. These Construction Documents have been designed and
drawn assuming existing building conditions match the Original Drawings. The General Contractor,
immediately upon arrival at the site, shall verify all existing structural column dimensions, structural
bearing heights, existing dimensions, top of masonry elevations, roofing conditions (including parapets,
scuppers and roof drains), and joist bearing elevations prior to the fabrication of any structural items. If
discrepancies are found between what is shown on the Drawings and existing field conditions, contact the
Wal-Mart Construction Manager and the Architect immediately to determine what action should be taken
to match existing conditions. The beginning of structural steel fabrication by the General Contractor, steel
fabricator, or joist manufacturer means acceptance of the existing conditions.
3. All utility locations shown are approximate. The Contractor shall field verify the exact location of all
existing utilities (whether shown or not) prior to the submission of his bid or the commencement of
construction. The Contractor shall notify the Wal-Mart Construction Manager of the discovery of existing
utilities not shown or noted on Drawings.

construction of this Project.
