A cable dimension and position plan must be requested from the specialist companies at an early stage so that these cables can be laid as part of the overall installation. 08.Socket holes in exposed brickwork must be milled cleanly in coordination with the construction management. Damage is the responsibility of the person responsible. 09.All electrical cables must be flame-retardantly coated or sheathed. Only cables from certain brands that have a test certificate for these properties may be used. The bidder must provide proof and present it without being asked to do so before installation begins. If this is neglected or if cables are not laid accordingly, the bidder must bear all costs for replacing the cables. 10.As required by the local fire protection officer, the fire brigade, the city or the relevant authority, appropriate fire barriers must be installed for breakthroughs and cable routes as a fire protection measure. Acceptance must be arranged with the fire protection officer in good time before the ceilings are closed. An acceptance certificate must be presented to the construction management without being asked to do so. All costs for this must be included in the unit prices. 11.The current MLAR must be taken into account. 12. All cable trays, risers and cable ducts must be designed with appropriate dividers to accommodate both high and low voltage systems. 13.

E30 and E90 cables may only be laid using type-approved, tested fastening material for individual installation and with appropriately approved cable tray systems for collective installation. 15. All sockets must be clearly and permanently marked with circuit numbers on the support frame. For surface-mounted sockets, the marking must be attached to the housing using a labelling device. 16. All requirements for the electrical installation listed in the preliminary remarks must be included in the EPs. There is no separate remuneration for this service. Since there are dependencies between the trades, instructions for the completion of services which are, for example, mandatory requirements for the start of a subsequent trade, must be implemented immediately. Any short-term changes to the construction process must be followed immediately. Flexible action with fast reaction times and short arrival and departure times is essential for this construction project. In view of the short execution time, this also applies to instructions from the construction management to carry out work at short notice in order not to hinder or delay subsequent trades and the overall construction process. Any additional work resulting from this must be included in the unit prices. D. General information on the service description Each item shown is to be understood as a finished job and as a service that complies with the regulations, is properly crafted and is ready for use and operation, including all ancillary services. - Additional technical contract conditions - Electrical installation DIN 18 382 The general technical regulations (ATV) for construction work of the Vob, Part C, become part of the contract. Measurements and quantity compilations as the basis for calculation are only to be prepared on forms from the engineering office. The forms are provided free of charge and must be requested in good time. The presence of a contractor employee with technical and local knowledge during the acceptance of the high and low current technical systems, in accordance with the construction certificate and the applicable building inspection regulations, by a building inspector-approved expert, is covered by the unit prices. The contractor must coordinate the provision of his services with - previous and subsequent - trades that technically affect his own services, so that his own services and his own execution dates are carried out correctly in terms of the detailed execution steps and functional accuracy. The usual work sequences, technical dependencies and individual steps of partial services that are separated in time are taken into account in the offer calculation. - General description of the measure - 1. The construction measure is the extension of the fire station with 4 vehicle parking spaces and the required social rooms. The existing building will be partially demolished and rebuilt. For the vehicle hall, the additional base, including the foundation and upstands, will be built using solid construction. The social wing on the ground floor and the building dividing wall to the hall will be rebuilt using solid construction. The upper floor of the social wing and the roof and walls of the vehicle hall will be made of wood. The "sports center" part of the existing building will be retained and in use during the construction period. Fire service access roads, the access to the depot (the fire service's location during construction) and escape and rescue routes must be kept clear throughout the entire construction phase, see attachment. Everything else, especially exceptions, must be agreed with the construction management. 2. During the project, some work may be carried out by municipal yard employees and firefighters themselves. This may result in various items being omitted altogether or quantities in parts of various items being reduced. The omission or reduction in quantities of these items does not entitle the contractor to make claims for lost profits or claims for an increase in unit prices. The price inquiry or requirement items must be filled in without fail, as it is possible that these items will also be carried out. The bidder acknowledges these preliminary remarks by signing the list of services. 3. The material costs and wage cost components requested in the individual items must be filled in without fail. Reference is made to the Vob/a (§25 ff). Here, if various items are omitted, the order may also be for the delivery of the material alone. 4. The construction site toilet and the break rooms must be provided by each contractor. Energy, water and electricity are provided free of charge. 5. A construction meeting is held weekly with all contractors in the community center/construction site. The company representatives who are currently working on the construction site and who will begin work in the next three weeks are required to attend and coordinate construction progress. Any costs must be included in the EPs. 6. Upon acceptance of the order, the contractor recognizes the dates stated in the preliminary remarks and the construction schedule as binding and will, if necessary, carry out necessary work outside of working hours at no extra cost so as not to jeopardize the deadlines for subsequent work. The contractor undertakes to provide the appropriate number of workers based on the amount of work and working days. 7. The contractually binding partial deadlines are set out in the construction schedule. 8.The work advertised must be carried out in parts in accordance with the progress of the construction. This does not give the contractor any right to make additional claims. 9.The disposal of rubbish and debris must be carried out every two days at most, analogous to the work steps. Each contractor is responsible for this himself. 10.All further details can be found in the list of services. 11.Contrary to DIN 1961 Vob Part B § 13 (4), the limitation period for claims for defects is set at five years. 12.Services that exceed the contract amount require prior written approval, otherwise no payment will be made! Accordingly, supplementary offers must be approved in good time (at least three weeks) before execution. 13.Daily construction reports must be kept. The forms from "Zweckform - Daily Construction Reports No. 177" or equivalent must be used as a template. These must be presented to the construction supervisor every 2-3 days for signature and countersignature. The work carried out, the number of workers and the hours worked must be entered here. 14. Depending on the trade, all inventory and inspection documents must be enclosed with the final invoice in duplicate in paper form and digitally (copied onto a CD or data storage device): Final payment will only be approved after the documents have been submitted. 15.
