The Designer’s requirements for preparation of a Project Manual are defined by the Agreement. This chapter provides the Owner’s guidance for procedures and use of standard documents in developing the Project Manual. Standard documents are provided in Appendix 2 Standard Bidding and Construction Documents. The C42 Standard Document Instructions and Checklist provided in Appendix 1 lists the standard documents and serves as a table of contents for Appendix 2.  \nB. The Designer is responsible for accurate and appropriate application and completion of the standard documents. Further instructions for selected standard documents are provided herein.  \nC. Class of Documents: Before assembling the Project Manual, most likely at the time outline specifications are developed, consult the Owner on the nature of the contract to be procured and which class of standard documents is appropriate. Classes require distinct standard documents in some cases, such as bid forms, but also use some documents in common. The classes of standard documents are:  \n1. General work documents are intended for most construction over $100,000 . This normally includes any procurement via Design/Build, Best Value, and Construction Management. The Owner will instruct the Designer on the extent to which these need bidding requirements, contracting forms, and conditions.  \na. Traditional design, bid, and lump sum construction  \nb. Alternative delivery Best Value procurement and lump sum construction  \nc. Alternative delivery CM/GC trade bidding for GMP construction services  \n2. Non-Construction documents are intended for direct purchases not involving onsite construction. Alternates, unit prices, and allowances options are not provided.  \nD. In preparing the Project Manual, the Owner recommends use of the current applicable best practice recommendations made by the American Institute of Architects and the Construction Specifications Institute.  \nE. Format the Project Manual for 8.5 inch by 11 inch pages and capable of two-sided printing with each section beginning on a right-hand page.  \nF. Prepare the Project Manual for the unique requirements of the project. As standard documents or document templates are adopted for use in the Project Manual, the Designer shall ensure that provisions which are inapplicable to the project are removed, shall take care to remove unnecessary and redundant material, and shall make appropriate revisions to tailor concise, complete, and coordinated documents for the project.  \nG. The Owner requires that construction contracts are procured through procedures and documents promoting competition to the greatest extent possible.  \n4.02 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELECTED STANDARD DOCUMENTS  \nA. 00 00 01 Project Title Page  \nPrepare the Project Title Page in any style or format that maintains consistency with the following guidance. A Project Title Page is not required if the cover of the Project Manual provides the prescribed content. If the cover does not also serve as the  \nProject Title Page the cover shall at a minimum include the project title and SBC Number.  \n1. Example format and content:  \nPROJECT MANUAL  \nDate of reference  \nPROJECT  \nSBC No. XXX/XXX-XX-XXXX  \nInstitution/Campus Name  \nProject Name  \nCOUNTY  \nCounty Name  \nOWNER  \nState Procurement Agency Name  \nDESIGNER  \nDesign Firm Name  \nAddress  \nPhone Number  \nCONSULTANTS  \nDiscipline Name (e.g. Structural) , Name of Consulting Firm or Individual Similar for Second Discipline  \nEtc.  \n2. The Designer’s seal and signature is to be affixed to only the cover and/or title page that provides the prescribed content, or a specific Seals Page which shall be titled such and numbered 00 01 07. The Designer's seal and signature are required by statute Tennessee Code Annotated § 62-2-306.  \n3. Additional graphics and information such as names of consulting engineers are acceptable on the cover and/or title page, provided the content requirements stated above are met.  \nB. 00 0","cbCaignsSLcaR92m","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaignsSLcaR92m","pdf",53270,"English","# 4.01 General\n## Class of Documents and document preparation requirements\n# 4.02 Instructions for Selected Standard Documents\n## 00 00 01 Project Title Page\n## 00 01 10 Table of Contents\n## 00 11 16 Invitation to Bid / 00 11 19 Request for GMP","[{\"question\":\"What guides the preparation of a Project Manual in this chapter?\",\"answer\":\"The agreement defines the designer’s requirements.
