Within these specifications, sentences that direct the Contractor to perform work are written in the active voice-imperative mood. These directions to the Contractor are written as commands. In the imperative mood, the subject “the Bidder” or “the Contractor” is understood.\nDivision II of the specifications is written in active voice-imperative mood.  All other requirements to be performed by others, with the exception of the Method of\nMeasurement and the Basis of Payment Articles, have been written in the active voice, but not in\nthe imperative mood. Sentences written in the active voice identify the party responsible for\nperforming the action. For example, “The Engineer will determine the density of the compacted\nmaterial.” Certain requirements of the Contractor may also be written in the active voice, rather\nthan active voice-imperative mood.\nDivision III of the Specifications (Materials) is written in the passive voice.\n1-2 Abbreviations.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe following abbreviations, when used in the Contract Documents, represent the full text shown.\nAAN\t\tAmerican Association of Nurserymen, Inc.\nAASHTO\tAmerican Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials\nACI\t\tAmerican Concrete Institute\nAGC\t\tThe Associated General Contractors of America, Inc.\nAGMA\t\tAmerican Gear Manufacturers Association\nAIA\t\tAmerican Institute of Architects.\nAISI\t\tAmerican Iron and Steel Institute\nANSI\t\tAmerican National Standards Institute, Inc.\nAREA\t\tAmerican Railway Engineering Association\nASCE\t\tAmerican Society of Civil Engineers\nASME\t\tAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers\nASTM\t\tAmerican Society for Testing and Materials\nAWG\t\tAmerican Wire Gauge\nAWPA\t\tAmerican Wood Preservers Association\nAWS\t\tAmerican Welding Society\nAWWA\t\tAmerican Water Works Association\nCRSI\t\tConcrete Reinforcing Steel Institute\nEASA\t\tElectrical Apparatus Service Association\nEPA\tEnvironmental Protection Agency of the United States Government\nFDOT\t\tFlorida Department of Transportation\nFHWA\t\tFederal Highway Administration\nFSS\t\tFederal Specifications and Standards\nIEEE\t\tInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers\nIES\t\tIlluminating Engineering Society\nIPCEA\t\tInsulated Power Cable Engineers Association\nISO\t\tInternational Organization for Standards\nMASH\t\tAASHTO Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware\nMUTCD\t\tManual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices\nNEC\t\tNational Electrical Code\nNEMA\t\tNational Electrical Manufacturers Association\nNFPA\t\tNational Fire Protection Association\nNIST\t\tNational Institute for Standards and Technology\nNOAA\t\tNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\nOSHA\t\tOccupational Safety and Health Administration\nSAE\t\tSociety of Automotive Engineers\nSI\t\tInternational System of Units\nSSPC\t\tSociety of Protective Coatings\nUL\t\tUnderwriters' Laboratories\nEach of the above abbreviations, when followed by a number or letter designation, or combination of numbers and letters, designates a specification, test method, or other code or recommendation of the particular authority or organization shown.\n1-3 Definitions.\nThe following terms, when used in the Contract Documents, have the meaning described.\nAdvertisement.\nThe public announcement, as required by law, inviting bids for work to be performed or materials to be furnished, usually issued as “Notice to Contractors,” or “Notice to Bidders.”\nArticle.\nThe numbered prime subdivision of a Section of these Specifications.\nBidder.\nAn individual, firm, or corporation submitting a proposal for the proposed work.\nBid Proposal.\nA technical proposal and a sealed price proposal submitted by each Asset Maintenance Contract Bidder.\nBridge.\nA structure, including supports, erected over a depression or over an obstruction such as water, highway or railway, or for elevated roadway, for carrying traf","cbCaisHy21xK4fsH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisHy21xK4fsH","docx",141513,66,"English","# SECTION 1 - DEFINITIONS AND TERMS\n## Definitions and Terms\n## Abbreviations","[{\"question\":\"What do the specifications explain about writing style for contractor directions?\",\"answer\":\"Work-directing sentences for the contractor are written in the active voice-imperative mood as commands, while other requirements for others may use active voice but not the imperative mood.\"},{\"question\":\"How is Division III (Materials) written compared with other divisions?\",\"answer\":\"Division III of the specifications (Materials) is written in the passive voice.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the document define as a “Contract Documents” set?\",\"answer\":\"Contract Documents include advertisement, requests for proposal, scope and technical proposal elements, certifications, resolutions, executed contract forms, bonds, specifications, plans, design standards, addenda, and other mailed or transmitted information treated as one instrument.\"}]","ATTACHMENT II - STANDARD ASSET MAINTENANCE SPECIFICATIONS - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND COVENANTS | DOCX",1788330076,23]
