Interpretation of Contract Documents.
1.3.1 The Contract Documents are complementary and what is required by one shall be as binding as if required by all.
1.3.2 In general, the Drawings will show dimensions, positions, and type of construction to be completed; and the Special Provisions and Technical Specifications will define materials, quality and standards. Any Work called for on the Drawings and not mentioned in the Special Provisions and Technical Specifications, or vice versa, shall be performed as though fully set forth in both. Work not particularly detailed, marked or specified, shall be the same as similar parts that are detailed, marked or specified.
