1 PART 1 - GENERAL 1.01 OVERVIEW A. This Section identifies requirements particular to the MD Anderson Smithville Campus that may vary from requirements indicated within the Master Construction Specifications and other Owner s Design Guideline Element Sections. B. The AE shall coordinate with the Owner s Smithville Campus Project Management Team and end users to determine inclusion of these requirements into the Project s design, drawings, and specifications. C. Where it is considered by the AE that compliance with any requirement stated within this Design Guideline Element is not possible, the AE shall communicate such concerns with the Owner s Project Manager to resolve non-compliance in sufficient time during the Schematic Design phase of the Project to meet contract schedule obligations. PART 2 - DESIGN CRITERIA 2.01 GENERAL A. Division 00, , Owner s Special Conditions: 1. Contractors shall furnish their own port-a-cans. Use of Owner s existing toilets is not permissible. 2.

Existing Concealed Utilities Contractor shall be fully responsible for field-locating all existing underground utilities, and shall take all precautionary measures (including handdigging where necessary) to avoid damage to any existing utilities. Any utilities damaged by the Contractor shall be repaired or replaced at no additional cost to the Owner. Add a very visible note to all Civil and MEP site drawings indicating the same information. Coordinate with Smithville Project Manager for past project notes for reference. B. Divisions 23, 31, and 32 related to Earthwork and Exterior Improvements: 1. We have had issues in the past with Contractors not referencing, coordinating, and complying with both Civil and Mechanical Divisions for materials, installation, etc. related to sitework and civil design scope (e.g., pipe materials and installation methods on a job not indicated within Divisions 31 and 32, so the Contractor did whatever they wanted instead of referencing Division 23 for materials and methods). 2. Concrete encase all pipes routed under roads. ODG OF 6
