The requirements regarding the non-restrictiveness of specifications shall apply to, among others, all specifications prepared by architects, engineers, designers, draftsmen, and land surveyors for school district contracts. Brand Name Specification means a specification limited to one or more items by the manufacturer's name or catalog number. Brand Name or Equal Specification means a specification which uses one or more manufacturer's name or catalog numbers to describe the standard of quality, performance, and other characteristics needed to meet school district requirements, and which provide for the submission of equivalent products. Specification means any description of the physical, functional, or performance characteristics, or of the nature of a supply, service, equipment, or construction item. A specification includes, as appropriate, requirements for inspecting, testing, or preparing a supply, service, equipment, or construction item for delivery. Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms "specification" and "purchase description" are used interchangeably. The purpose of a specification is to serve as a basis for obtaining a supply, service, equipment, or construction item adequate and suitable for the school district's needs in a cost effective manner, taking into account, to the extent practicable, the cost of ownership and operation as well as initial acquisition costs. IT IS THE POLICY OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT SPECIFICATIONS PERMIT MAXIMUM PRACTICABLE COMPETITION CONSISTENT WITH THIS PURPOSE. SPECIFICATIONS SHALL BE DRAFTED WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF CLEARLY DESCRIBING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S REQUIREMENTS. ALL SPECIFICATIONS SHALL BE WRITTEN IN A NONRESTRICTIVE MANNER SO AS TO DESCRIBE THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE MET. All design work performed for Horry County Schools by Architects and their Consultants must meet current OSF, current Local, State, and National Codes, and Horry County Schools Design Guidelines. Please be advised that should an individual, or any business/design entity choose to substitute or change a guideline specification, without prior written approval from the Horry County Schools Construction Department, that individual or business entity shall be responsible for removing, replacing, and incur any related costs for the required changes. It is understood by Horry County Schools certain materials and applications may not always be appropriate for every application but in these cases, a written request for a specific change to these guidelines must be submitted to the Construction Management Department for consideration and approval. In the event that an application or product in the guideline causes a conflict with current OSF or Code requirements, the OSF and/or current Code requirements shall override the guideline; however, a written notice and explanation must be submitted to the Construction Management Department for the change. Horry County Schools maintains an Architects Checklist on the website to be used as a tool during the Design Phase to ensure that desired products and applications are obtained. All Permits and Agency Reviews along with any additional information required for a specific project must be obtained prior to bidding the project. A copy of the permits and agency review letters must be attached to the checklist when plans are delivered for review by the Construction Management Department. Project delays and costs for these delays caused by not obtaining required permits, agency reviews, and approvals prior to bidding the project will be the responsibility of the Architect and their Consultants.

June 21, 2010 18 DISTRICT POINTS OF CONCERN AND REQUIREMENTS The following items of concern to the School District have been noted on previous projects and must be addressed in future projects on the drawings and specifications as generalized standards. GENERAL 1. From observation by the School District of buildings now near completion, it is noted that projects have moved forward more quickly when the contractor has installed the service road around the building pad at the very beginning of construction. This allows all weather access and the owner highly recommends it. 2. Water/sewer, DHEC, and lift station approvals have usually taken more time than anticipated; therefore, the owner expects these items to be addressed early on. Permits required by the state and local level such as, but not limited to, land disturbance permits, wetland permits, etc., must be obtained as the guidelines require before the project goes out for bid. Architect needs to schedule meeting with water utility company prior to bidding project. The District would like to have backflow preventers and as many utility items as possible installed by site contractor. 3. Mortar joints in concrete block should be uniform, not irregular. Block work shall be faced to corridor side. Many times we approve a sample wall and continued work does not have the same quality of the sample approved. We expect a job consistent with the sample wall that is approved. 4. Through wall flashing must be installed in all areas directed on plans as work progresses and not after the fact. 5. Through wall flashing needs to be protected. Any torn flashing must be repaired or replaced at the time it is damaged. 6. Make sure there is adequate waterproofing on cavity side of wall. 7. Structural rebar must be placed in wall before wall is pumped. 8. Refrigerant tubing must be placed into PVC pipes after placing pipe in wall. This can help prevent damage to insulation. 9. Painted corridors and classrooms must have semi gloss paint. Flat paint is not allowed. No exceptions. 10. Room numbers for operational and signage purposes will be approved by the District and may be different from architect’s numbering on plans. The district will approve a list of room numbers and names. Any rooms unaccounted for on the District approved list shall maintain the same number as used on the architect’s plans. If there is a question, call your representative from the school district. The actual school room numbers that are used for signage are to be used for labeling for data, phone, T.V. electrical, fire alarm, sprinkler riser, plumbing, and mechanical units. The architect must meet with the building principal during design phase and architect shall verify that room numbers on plans and actual signage numbers are the same. Contract documents must reflect correct signage and room number schedule. 11. Teacher storage cabinets are required in all classrooms. Corner cabinets are requested when possible. 12. Contractors’ builders risk insurance cannot be transferred to the owner until substantial completion has been achieved. The fire alarm must be operational and keys turned over to owner. The contractor should notify owner in order to have phone lines for fire alarm activated. The security personnel from the district will be responsible for installing the security panel and making the connection from the panel to the dial out. Our security personnel must be notified well in advance of OSF inspections. 13. All temporary utilities will be provided by the Contractor and in the Contractor’s name. The Contactor is responsible for the bill until the District has a Certificate of Occupancy and has accepted the building. 14. Lay down areas for all materials must be identified and indicated on plans and in specs on all renovation projects and all areas must be shown on plans. Chain link fencing is required. Orange fencing is not allowed for safety or lay down areas. June 21, 2010 19 15. The school district requires a clean jobsite, both interior and exterior. We have noted on past projects that those kept clean and free from debris were much safer, more organized, and had smoother completions. 16. Safety is the most important factor on school renovation projects when school is in session. Construction barriers and warning signage must be installed before construction begins and must be maintained at all times. Students must not have access to the construction site. Any safety fencing that is damaged or down must be replaced immediately. Emergency exits must be maintained with appropriate signage. Emergency exits must never be blocked. A clear exit pathway must be maintained at all times from every exit door during construction. If it is absolutely necessary to block these areas in order to do specific work, this work must be performed before or after working hours. Any work that will cause excessive noise, vibration to the building, or distraction must be done before or after hours as well. Safety fencing must be chain link fencing. Orange plastic fence is not allowed for safety or lay down. 17. OCRM monitors our projects on a regular basis. It is essential that the silt fence be in place and in good shape at all times. SCDOT also monitors roadways. Site Contractors must maintain compliance for OCRM and SCDOT at all times. 18. Use of tobacco products are not allowed in school buildings or on any school property to include inside vehicles. 19. In renovation projects, the CONTRACTOR is responsible for removing and protecting all furniture and boxed items from rooms being renovated. The CONTRACTOR is also responsible for replacing these items in an orderly fashion after renovations are complete. Items must be stored and protected in a manner that avoids all damage. When doing partial work in an occupied classroom, the contractor is responsible for covering any and all items that are subject to dust or damage. This must be noted on drawings and in specifications. 20. As-built drawings for the lift station must be done by a certified engineer and must include the engineer’s stamp. Fees for this service must be included in the base bid. 21. Any sheetrock that becomes wet due to lack of protection during construction must be replaced. The entire area from floor to ceiling must be replaced and the insulation behind it must be replaced also. There are no exceptions to this. 22. Slip resistant VCT must be used in all ramp areas. 23. Type of floor covering used must be approved by owner during design phase. 24. Expansion joint covers must be specified for block walls. These need to be metal not rubber caulk. 25. Pencil blocks and electric sharpeners are to be installed in all classrooms. 26. Kiln areas must be equipped with exhaust hoods. See note about this in electrical section. Kilns are to be specified by the architect and provided and installed by the contractor in the base bid. Exhaust fans and all components must be specified with the kiln and included in the base bid. 27. Storefront doors are not allowed in any areas. 28. Sanitary napkin disposals must be provided in all female group toilets in elementary, middle, and high schools. Napkin disposals must also be provided in each stall at the elementary, middle and high schools. Napkin disposals must be provided in all female or unisex toilets. 29. Recessed soap dispensers are not permitted in any location. The District will provide these dispensers for wall areas. 30. Covered walks should consist of a single walk to the parent drop off area and a covered walk from the school to the bus drop off. The termination point of the bus drop off should be in a T-shape and approximately 30’ long adjacent to the bus drive. Light fixtures shall be installed under all canopy areas. (The T-shape canopy shall be used depending on site layout. In renovations, an L-shape may have to be used.) 31. Curbing and gutter must be specified for all parking lot drives and drop off areas. Heavy duty RCP pipe must be used under all drive areas. Storm drain must be tied in in all areas. The engineer must provide drainage for all areas including all play areas. June 21, 2010 20 32. Elementary schools shall have two assistant principals’ offices. Middle schools shall have three assistant principals’ offices. High schools shall have four assistant principals’ offices. When possible, for monitoring purposes, these offices shall have glass looking out to hallways. There are no private toilets in these offices. 33. Standard signage is required for both renovations and new schools. Signage shall include interior and exterior signage. Exterior signage should consist of brick or block base per plan. School name lettering shall be of contrasting color and of size to be clearly visible. A marquis with transparent lockable door should be included. The marquis should be large enough to accommodate a short message such as “PTA meeting tonight at 7:00 p.m.” (4 lines of 8” tall changeable letters in locking case). Ground lighting must be included for all signage. All interior signage must be mechanically fastened. Numbering the signage schedule must be approved by the District. The contractor is to provide letters and symbols for the marquis. 34. Fire extinguisher cabinets must be metal with Lexan door. Plastic bubble type cabinets are not permitted. 35. Sky lights are not permitted in any ceilings. 36. Through wall flashing must be SANDELL COATED COPPER consisting of a full sheet of copper weighing 3 oz. per square foot coated on both sides with a special rubberized asphalt compound weighing not less than 6 oz. per square foot or approved equal. Manufacturer’s specifications for application and installation must be followed. Please note: through wall flashing must be as stated above except in locations where a roof terminates at a masonry wall. In these locations the wall shall have a 16 oz. copper through wall flashing. The flashing shall turn up a minimum height of 8 inches inside the wall, come through the exterior brick or block and turn down a minimum of 1½ inches on the face of the masonry wall. 37. The contractor is responsible for line locations for all utilities on private school property prior to beginning construction and this must be noted clearly on the plans and specifications. A private locator will be required as PUPS will not locate on private property. This must be clearly indicated on specifications and plans. 38. Hardware specifications must be strictly followed. Please note that the architect or contractor shall be held responsible for corrections to any variance from hardware specifications. 39. Accommodations for book theft detection shall be made in all Horry County Schools’ media centers. District will provide equipment specifications. 40. It is mandatory that all construction workers on school property have a visible picture ID Tag at all times. Workers who do not have a tag are considered unregistered and will be asked to leave the property. 41. Products included in this document are intended to establish minimum requirements for quality. THE OWNER MUST BE NOTIFIED PRIOR TO APPROVAL OF A SUBSTITUTE PRODUCT. 42. All colors must be submitted to the School District prior to approval. 43. Playground equipment will be provided by the Owner but will be coordinated by the Contractor in order to avoid damage to landscaping and underground piping. The architect is to provide playground area for equipment installation and is to ensure with engineers that water, electrical, mechanical, irrigation and storm drain covers are not in conflict with designated play area. Storm drain covers located in the play area must be pedestrian type designed specifically for small children. LANDSCAPE 44. Sod, trees, and bushes should not be installed until irrigation system is installed and operational. Mesh backing on sod is not allowed on any Horry County Schools’ projects. 45. Landscaping must consist of trees and shrubs that are native to the area and approved. Centipede sod is required for sodded areas. Straw must be used for mulching. Pine bark is not acceptable. Irrigation systems must be insulated and also have some type of weather protection, such as a house, rock, etc. 46. Parking lot islands must be grassed.

All recommended products are Sherwin Williams, ICI Devoe, Rose Talbert, DTM acrylic coating, or approved equal. Architects shall specify surface preparation and finish. *THE SAME PRODUCTS AS LISTED ABOVE MAY BE USED IN RENOVATION PROJECTS; HOWEVER, PROPER PRIMERS MUST BE USED IN CASES OF OLD WALLS THAT HAVE BEEN PAINTED AND REPAINTED MANY TIMES WITH OIL OR OIL EPOXY PAINT. Painting Requirements for Renovations Previously Coated Surfaces Maintenance painting will frequently not permit or require complete removal of all old coatings prior to repainting. However, all surface contamination such as oil, grease, loose paint, mill scale dirt, foreign matter, rust, mold, mildew, mortar, efflorescence, and sealers must be removed to assure sound bonding to the tightly adhering old paint. Glossy surfaces of old paint films must be clean and dull before repainting. Thorough washing with an abrasive cleanser will clean and dull in one operation, or wash thoroughly and dull by sanding. Spot prime any bare areas with an appropriate primer. Recognize that any surface preparation short of total removal of the old coating may compromise the service length of the system. Check for compatibility by applying a test patch of the recommended coating system, covering at least 2 to 3 square feet. Allow to dry one week before testing adhesion per ASTM D3359. If the coating system is incompatible, complete removal is required. Painting Requirements for New Schools Block (Cinder and Concrete) Remove all loose mortar and foreign material. Surface must be free of laitance, concrete dust, dirt, form release agents, moisture curing membranes, loose cement, and hardeners. Concrete and mortar must be cured at least 30 days at 75°F.

Example: June 21, 2010 136 FACEPLATE PORT NUMBERING SCHEME: Faceplates are to be numbered/counted from: • • the leftmost port to the rightmost port on the first row of a faceplate, continuing with the leftmost port to the rightmost port on the second row. Example: 1 1 2 12 3 2 3 4 4 56 Faceplate Port Numbering Scheme FIBER CABINET LABELING SCHEME: All rack-mounted and wall-mounted optical fiber cabinets are to be labeled. The label shall indicate: • • the closet room number the other end of the cable goes to, and the port numbers the connectors are installed in. Example: For a 6-strand fiber cable installed from MDF Room #222 to IDF Room # 333, the labeling on each end is as follows: In the MDF, the label reads: IDF Room 333 Ports 1-6 In the IDF, the label reads: MDF Room 222 Ports 1-6 June 21, 2010 137 HORIZONTAL CABLE LABELING SCHEME: The following changes are made to Section 6.1 of the Technology Cabling Standards & Specifications Last Revised 09/30/08: Device/Function Abbreviations: V = Voice S = Camera D = Data E = Video W = Wireless M = Mechanical (HVAC, etc.) I = IR Control For cameras and wireless outlets in hallways, use P-Touch or other label printer to make a label that can be fastened to the ceiling grid at the location of the device. Attach this label to the metal ceiling grid, not the ceiling tile. This label shall be in addition to the faceplate label located in the ceiling at the point of termination. At the rack end, camera and wireless labeling for devices in hallways or outdoors shall be: • • • • • Wireless in a hallway gets the designation WH followed by the hallway/corridor number = 300.W.H A camera in a hallway receives the designation SH followed by the hallway/corridor number = 200.C.H Cameras located outdoors will have the letter B (for Breezeway Location) or O (for general outdoor location not on a breezeway) and will have the number of the nearest room used to identify their location. A camera in a breezeway near Lobby Room 100 = 100.C.B A camera outside located near classroom #410 = 410.S.O Labeling for cameras and wireless outlets located inside the building are to use the usual labeling scheme for all horizontal cabling. June 21, 2010 138 ROOM OUTLET CONFIGURATION The first outlet to the left of the door is designated “A”. The alphabetical naming then continues clockwise from “A” around the room back to the door. Example: C CLASSROOM 610 B A When adding cabling to an existing room, the outlet is labeled using two letters. The first letter is that of the nearest outlet to the door from the new add. The second letter is that of the next existing outlet in a clockwise motion from the door. Example: C CLASSROOM 610 This new outlet will be ‘BC’. B This new outlet will be ‘AA’. A June 21, 2010 AA 139 When a ‘Teacher Outlet’ has the voice in a wall-phone plate and the data 18” AFF, the Teacher voice outlet is designated “A”, the teacher data outlet is designated “B”, and then C, D, etc follow as clockwise around the room. Example: D CLASSROOM 610 C Teacher Voice @ 48" A B June 21, 2010 Teacher Data @ 18" 140 HORIZONTAL CABLE LABELING SCHEME In the closet, each patch panel port is labeled to the corresponding room number the cable resides in, the faceplate letter, faceplate port number, and device/function at the other end of the cable. Room #, Faceplate Letter, Faceplate Port, 400.A.1.D (‘D’ for data, ‘V’ for Voice, etc.) At the faceplate, each jack is labeled with the telecom closet room number, the rack number in the closet, the patch panel number in the closet, and the port number on the patch panel. Telecom Room #, Rack#, Patch Panel #, Port # 210.1.A.24 Example: CLASSROOM 400 Telecom Closet IDF 210 Example outlet with 1 Data & 1 Voice At this end of the cable, the lable reads: At this end of the cable, the label reads: 210.Rack #.Patchpanel #,Port #. 400.A.1.D 400.A.2.V June 21, 2010 141 JACK COLOR SCHEME: Colored jacks to identify outlet function are to be installed in new projects as well as for MAC (move/add/change) work. Colors to be used are as follows: • • • Red – Telephone/IP Telephone & Wireless Yellow – Video (TV, IR, Surveillance Cameras) Blue - Data AS-BUILT DRAWINGS: • Drawings for the entire project performed are to be laminated and located in the MDF. If the MDF was not the source of the cabling work performed (such as MAC work), the drawings for any and all closets are still to be located in the MDF. Both floor plan drawings and rack layout drawings are to be included. The laminated drawings are to be hole-punched and chained to a rack so that they remain in the MDF. • Each IDF closet is to have a laminated copy of its area/wing floor plan & rack layout drawing holepunched and chained to the rack so that they remain in the IDF. • Additional copies of the drawings are to be delivered to Mike Cherry along with test results. Payment will not be rendered without as-built documentation and warranty. • Blue lettering/text is to be used for jack and port numbers on as-built drawings rather than black which is difficult to distinguish from room numbering. June 21, 2010 142 PORTABLE CLASSROOMS: • Do not cover or encroach on the electrical panel with the installation of the ‘Teacher Outlet’ containing 1 Data and 1 Voice. • Utilize the number painted on the exterior AC unit as the portable number. Do not use any school assigned numbering schemes. • When adding a surveillance camera to a portable classroom, run the cabling to the closest closet in the main building if it does not exceed 295’ from the outlet to the patch panel. Teacher 1 Voice /1 Data Student 4 Data S TV & IR 2 Video Speaker Closet TYPICAL PORTABLE CLASSROOM Cable used (Cat 6 or cat 5e) is to Match the cabling in the school. VIDEO BACKBONES: • Do not include RG-11 cabling for video backbone unless RG-6 cabling is being used to the classroom. • In new school installations and entire wing additions/renovations, optical fiber cabling will be used for the video backbone when copper cabling is used to the TV/IR outlet. OFFICE CABLING: • • If a Storage Room is 6’ x 6’ in size or larger, it will receive an ‘Office Outlet’. The configuration of an ‘Office Outlet’ is changed from 1 Data / 1 Voice / 1 Printer / 1 Video to 2 Data / 1 Voice. June 21, 2010 143 GENERAL CABLING INFORMATION: • No cables are to be installed such that they lay on top of ceiling tiles without support of either cable tray or J-hooks. • No cables are to be run through building joists. All cabling is to be supported by either cable tray or Jhooks. End of requirement updates. June 21, 2010 144
