If guide specifications are not furnished, typical specifications developed and used by the A-E in general practice shall be used in preparing contract Specifications.

Testing to establish compliance with the Contract Documents for critical items or critical portions of the Work shall be specified as the Private Entity's responsibility, subject to Section 6.8. Testing shall be consistent with that required under standard commercial practices as approved by Owner’s Representative and/or the local building officials.
