MRS-Muskegon March 31, 2006 3 DIVISION O - INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION

0.1 Scope: It is the purpose of these outline specifications to set forth the minimum general requirements for the completed facility as well as to clarify points of particular
interest to the Lessee.
Actual design, construction, and performance of the building, building systems, site and
ground utilization, etc. are the responsibility of the Lessor. The Lessor shall obtain the
services of an independent architect/engineer to provide the construction drawings and
specifications pursuant to the Lessee's requirements. The architect/engineer shall be
responsible for presiding over and generating periodic progress meetings, minutes of
meetings, and periodic on-site construction inspections to verify the provisions of the
drawings and specifications. 0.2 Construction Documents: The Lessor shall submit to the Department of Management and Budget, Office of Facilities, Real Estate Division (DMB), and the User
Agency three (3) sets of complete construction drawings and specifications bearing the
seal of a licensed architect or engineer in the State of Michigan, for review and approval.
While the approved drawings and specifications will become a part of the Lease, in the
event there is a discrepancy between these outline specifications and the Lease, and
the approved construction drawings, the outline specifications and the written lease
document shall prevail. The Construction Documents shall be approved by the Lessee
before remodeling or new construction is started. Approval of these documents does not
waive the Lessor’s responsibility to comply with the provisions of the Lease and Outline
Specifications.
Construction drawings shall include a complete architectural site plan indicating
boundary and/or topographic surveys, demolition, erosion plan, grading, lighting, utilities,
building location, sidewalks, parking lot, drives, curbs, fences, signs, landscaping, and
other site considerations.
Construction specifications shall follow the AIA/CSI format and shall provide details and
data not provided in the Outline Specifications.
All design considerations shall be based on the Lessor's knowledge of the intended use
of the Leased premises. The Lessee’s process of plans and specifications review and
subsequent approval does not relieve the Lessor from any responsibility to provide an
end product that is safe, comfortable and functionally satisfactory to serve as an office
facility for the Lessee.
The Leased premises shall be designed in such a manner as to insure an economical
and efficient use of space, adequate natural light, ventilation, circulation patterns and
code compliance. All systems shall be programmed to be year 2000 compliant. The
concept drawing attached to the Lease is only one acceptable schematic design
solution. MRS-Muskegon March 31, 2006 4 DIVISION 1 -GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

"Barrier Free Design" Law, MIOSHA, Life Safety Codes, "Michigan Uniform Energy
Code (MUEC)," and provisions for Public Law 93-112, Section 504. Completed building
and site must also comply with ADA Rules. All new construction and major renovation
projects shall be accomplished consistent with Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) guidelines and standards, and shall score a minimum of 26 points on the
LEED scorecard established by the United States Green Building Council. 1.2 Permits: The Lessor or its representative shall obtain all necessary building, zoning, and other permits as required for the complete construction of the Leased premises. 1.3 Temporary Facilities and Controls, such as water, electricity, toilets, heating and telephone, are the responsibility of the Lessor. 1.4 Project Directory: The Lessor shall provide a Leased premises directory listing the following as applicable to the Leased premises, add other pertinent information if
necessary. List by firm name, person in charge, address and telephone number: project
name, owner (if different from Lessor), architect/engineer, etc. 1.5 Final Construction Documents: Prior to start of construction the Lessee shall be furnished free of charge, five (5) copies of prints of the final approved drawings
and specifications. The Lessee may secure additional copies of drawings and
specifications from the Lessor at the usual charge for reproduction and handling. 1.6 Compliance: Construction shall be done in strict accordance with approved plans and specifications. The Lessee reserves the right to make periodic inspections of the
construction to ascertain whether construction and workmanship are as represented by
approved drawings, and that the Leased premises is also representative of practices of
construction that are reasonable and customary in the industry.
All existing buildings shall be structurally sound (certified by licensed civil engineer, if
required), and meet all minimum design standards of this outline specification. Build into
the floor plan layout all pipe chases and duct chases required to meet the mechanical
design criteria, including vertical duct chases where low ceiling heights in existing
buildings do not allow ventilation ducts above the ceiling.
To facilitate inspections of critical items, a certain reasonable number of "stop points" will
be identified as required at a Pre-Construction Meeting, to be chaired by an authorized
representative of the Lessee. Construction of the item(s) to be inspected will not
proceed until the Lessee has inspected and approved the work to that point. The
Lessee must be given at least two (2) work days notice of when "stop points" will occur
and inspection will be made within one (1) work day after stop points are reached,
otherwise, construction can proceed as planned. The Pre-Construction meeting will be
called by the Real Estate Division Property Analyst and moderated by an authorized
representative of the Office of Facilities representative. MRS-Muskegon March 31, 2006 5 Periodic site inspections will be made by the Lessee or by a licensed architect/engineer
hired by the Lessee for this purpose. This does not relieve the Lessor from providing
architect/engineer inspections during the construction phase.
If any materials or workmanship provided are other than as indicated on drawings, or
specified, the Lessee may direct that the portion of the work that is not satisfactory be
removed and replaced or otherwise corrected, at no additional cost to the State.
Any reference to a specific brand and/or model is intended to establish quality, operating
characteristics, size, or type. Products of equal or better quality, operating
characteristics, or type are acceptable. The entire burden of establishing equality of
alternate brands, types, sizes, etc., shall rest with the Lessor and the Lessor shall
provide proof of "equal or better" upon request by the State.
New construction and renovation projects shall be done in an energy efficient manner
incorporating but not limiting the selection of applicable energy conservation measures
to the following technologies and practices:
• Use daylighting technologies wherever possible to reduce lighting energy. Avoid over-lighting by designing appropriate light levels for each space by function it serves
(e.g. hallways, conference rooms, etc). • Use 32 or 28 watt T-8 lamps with electronic ballasts for majority of indoor applications. Eliminate use of HID lighting where possible. • Replace incandescent lamps with equivalent lumen compact fluorescent lamps. • Use dimmable ballasts wherever possible. • Use lighting controls for indoor and outdoor lighting (EMS, motion sensors or photo cells. • Control solar heat gains and glare with window glazing containing appropriate solar heat gain coefficients and insulating factors for building orientation. • HVAC will be controlled by an energy management system; use occupancy settings for HVAC where applicable. • Air handlers should be equipped with variable frequency drives to control fan motor speeds. 1.7 Progress Schedule and Subcontractors: Within ten (10) days after the Preconstruction Meeting, the Lessor shall submit to the Lessee a copy of a proposed bar
