8.1.2 Outline Specifications (See Appendix T for example): Specify the
items of work that will be included in the project. Arrange the
specification in the 16-division format of the Construction Specification
Institute (CSI). List all 16 divisions and if no work is required in a
particular division, include a statement "Not Used" under the division
heading. On small projects using five or less divisions, omit listing of the
non-applicable divisions. Include as a minimum:
a. General Description: A general conception of the project and of the
work involved in sufficient detail to present a general picture. It should
be wholly self-contained and should not make reference to the drawings or to
other parts of the specifications. Do not merely state that the work
includes concrete work, masonry, carpentry, etc. The General Description is
used for a quick comprehensive overview of the project by review authorities.
b. Time for Completion: Best estimate available, taking into account
long lead time procurement items, special working directives, and mission
needs.
c. Special Work Directives: Directives that significantly influence
cost, time for completion, and safety and security requirements.
d.
Unusual workmanship requirements.
e. Unusual inspections/quality control requirements (nondestructive
testing, etc.).
