| 1) Quality: | JC&A specification documents include material specifications, inspection requirements, and field installation guidelines to ensure that only quality materials are installed, that the correct materials are used, and to ensure quality workmanship throughout. |
| 2) Cold Water: | In order to ensure that renovated cooling towers or new cooling towers achieve peak thermal performance efficiency, JC&As bid specification documents: a) include all of the information necessary for bidders to assess the thermal performance characteristics of proposed renovation designs, b) require bidders to submit suitably detailed thermal design information to facilitate an independent check of claimed thermal performance levels, c) specifically address the issue of thermal performance testing and penalties for failure to meet guaranteed performance levels. |
| 3) Coordination: | JC&A specification documents require the bidders to address scheduling and provide detailed descriptions of their work plan, man-loading, and equipment requirements in order to ensure that the construction work is executed on schedule and, equally important, to ensure that the work is completed in an orderly and well-planned sequence. |
| 4) Safety: | In order to ensure that the cooling tower construction or renovation work is executed safely, JC&A specification documents require the bidders to specifically address the issue of safety. The successful bidder is required to submit their project-specific safety manual for the Ownerss approval. |
