6.6.1
Fabricated structural steel shall be delivered in a sequence that will permit efficient and economical fabrication and erection, and that is consistent with requirements in the contract documents. If the owner or ODRC wishes to prescribe or control the sequence of delivery of materials, that entity shall specify the required sequence in the contract documents. If the ODRC contracts separately for delivery and for erection, the ODRC shall coordinate planning between contractors.
6.6.2
Anchor rods, washers, nuts, and other anchorage or grillage materials that are to be built into concrete or masonry shall be shipped so that they will be available when needed. The ODRC shall allow the fabricator sufficient time to fabricate and ship such materials before they are needed.
6.6.3
If any shortage is claimed relative to the quantities of materials that are shown in the shipping statements, the ODRC or the erector shall promptly notify the fabricator so that the claim can be investigated.
Commentary
The quantities of material that are shown in the shipping statement are customarily accepted as correct by the ODRC, the fabricator, and the erector.
6.6.4
Unless otherwise specified in the contract documents, and subject to the approved approval documents, the fabricator shall limit the number of field splices to that consistent with minimum project cost.
Commentary
This section recognizes that the size and weight of structural steel assemblies may be limited by shop capabilities, the permissible weight, and clearance dimensions of available transportation or jobsite conditions.
6.6.5
If material arrives at its destination in damaged condition, the receiving entity shall promptly notify the fabricator and carrier prior to unloading the material or promptly upon discovery prior to erection.
