We reserve the right to suspend work in the event of breach of payment terms, in excess of 60 days, as defined by the Prime Contract and our subcontract agreements.
We will accept Magnum Builders form of subcontract in form and substance acceptable to VPS.
Any deviations from the drawings or specifications without the mutual consent of both VPS and the Owner/Contractor will be subject to a Change Request/Change Order. Change orders will be invoiced as required.
We will attend meetings while present on site; all others to be conducted via audio / go-to meeting conferencing if required.
We exclude all liquidated and consequential damages.
This offer does not include Builder's Risk Insurance. We require to be named as an additional insured on the Owners/GC's Builder's Risk Policy and we will have no responsibilities for any deductibles.
Our offer is based on positioning seams and patterning to achieve maximum fabric efficiency.
Owner/GC shall provide an as-built survey or drawing showing the intended location for the structure and any surrounding structures which could cause interferences or access with our structure before engineering begins. If the appropriate tolerances are not held in placing the anchor bolts or interface attachment plates and it results in additional re-engineering or re-work, there will be additional costs and it will be the subject of a change order.
VPS makes this offer for the project on the basis that the structure will be designed and fabricated based on the theoretical geometry; therefore, the accuracy of foundation and anchor bolt placement is critical. The foundations and anchor bolts must be installed with the following maximum tolerances.
Anchor bolts must be installed true to the template. VPS will provide a single metal template for each typical bolt pattern.
Anchor bolts must be installed true to the template and perpendicular to the template plane.
The top of the concrete and anchor bolts must be set to ±1/8 of required elevation to ensure proper projection and elevations as per 3D system work points.
Survey requirements of the Owner/GC:
All survey coordinate data (XYZ coordinates or northing, easting, elevation) shall be issued to VPS in an excel format and in an AutoCAD file format (dwg/dxf) with lines, points and “solid” shapes as required.
Scan survey shall only be used with VPS approval. If approved, the survey contractor will do secondary processing to develop the scan survey into a comprehensive 3D model file along with the point cloud data shall be supplied to VPS.
A coordination meeting between VPS and the survey contractor is required before any survey work is started.
Foundation pier data points requirements:
Top of pier elevations.
Top of all anchor bolts.
Verify bolt diameter, document any variance from design.
Verify anchor bolt threads extend to the top of pier.
Verify plumbness of all anchor bolts. Document all variances equal to or greater than 1/4 including direction of slant. For oblique piers, the term plumbness shall be taken to mean squareness of the projected anchor with respect to the concrete bearing surface.
All conduit/drainage pipes or drain holes, etc. Document all drainage pipe, drainage hole and conduit (or conduit group), etc. center point and diameter.
All corner points and depth of shear pockets.
If foundation is recessed, a top of finished grade is required next to each recess foundation.
Embed plate data point requirements:
Center of exposed surface.
Outer edge of embed.
Verify embed is horizontal/vertical within 3 degrees.
All items that apply from note D.
Survey contractor to document any observed interferences (i.e. tree limbs, eaves on roof, signs, etc.).
