the Bills of Material served to simplify Jobsite expediting and coordinating of materials. Figure 5,3-1 is a sample Bill of Materials. CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS Although the original plans had called for the consolidation and reproduction of all Equipment and Material Specifications (Purchase Specifications) into construction specifications affording complete and comprehensive specifications for all facilities to be constructed, these plans were revised because of decisions made at a meeting of represen- tatives of AEC, LASL, JTF-3, the 7th Engineer Brigade, the 79th Construction Battalion, and Holmes & Narver at Washington, D. ©, on January 30, 1950, In consideration of these decisions, which involved the Army’s taking over construction work on Eniwetok Island, it was decided to divide construction specifications for the Project into two parts, the first of which would cover facilities on Eniwetok and the second, other islands, In this manner, the specifications for work to be done by the Army could be segregated and could be made available at Jobsite at the same time as the working drawings. Because the construction work for Eniwetok Island was to be performed by the Army, except for pilot installations, and because construction materials were already in process of procurement, the specifications were designed to cover, for the most part, methods and procedures, Actual writing of the specifications followed H & N standard procedures, Mechanical and electrical specifications were written by the Mechanical and Electrical Departments and edited by the Specification Department; all other specifications were written by the Specification Department, All specifications were reviewed by the engineering department heads concerned, AEC basic specifications were used as guides in establishing the divisions of the work and for technical provisions where applicable; however, the unusual climatic and terrain conditions at the Jobsite and the extended haul for mterials required extensive revision of the technical clauses, Inasmuch as the great majority of the buildings were to be of the prefabricated aluminum type, particular emphasis was placed upon the section of the specifications cowering these structures. Prints of the manufacturer's drawings were furnished the construction forces in the field. These were unusually informative, including over 100 drawings showing suggested methods of assembly and erection as well as details of parts and assemblies, In addition, Holmes & Narver drawings showing dimensions, arrangements, and other details were furnished, And finally, there were included in the specifications recommendations made by the building manufacturer's test erection supervisor as to procedures and necessary tools. 5-20
