METRIC MEASUREMENTS

04/06 1.1 REFERENCES The publications listed below form a part of this s pecification to the extent referenced. The publications are referred to withi n the text by the basic designation only. ASTM INTERNATIONAL (ASTM) ASTM E 621(1994; R 1999e1) Use of Metric (SI) Units in Building Design and Construction (Committee E-6 Supplement to E380) IEEE/ASTM SI 10(2002) American National Standard fo r Use of the International System of Units (SI): The Modern Metric System 1.2 GENERAL This project includes metric units of measurements. The metric units used are the International System of Units (SI) developed an d maintained by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM); the name International System of Units and the international abbreviation SI were ad opted by the 11th CGPM in 1960. A number of circumstances require that both metric SI units and English inch-pound (I-P) units be included in a section of the specifications. When both metric and I-P measurements are included, the section may contain measurements for products that are manufactured to I-P dimensions and then expressed in mathematically converted metric value (soft metric) or, it may contain measurements for products that are manufact ured to an industry recognized rounded metric (hard metric) dimensions but are allowed to be substituted by I-P products to comply with the law. Dual measurements are also included to indicate industry and/or Governmen t standards, test values or other controlling factors, such as the code require ments where I-P values are needed for clarity or to trace back to the referenc ed standards, test values or codes. 1.3 USE OF MEASUREMENTS IN SPECIFICATIONS Measurements in specifications shall be either in S I or I-P units as indicated, except for soft metric measurements or a s otherwise authorized. When only SI or I-P measurements are specified for a product, the product shall be procured in the specified units (SI or I-P ) unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer. The Contrac tor shall be responsible for all associated labor and materials when authori zed to substitute one system of units for another and for the final assem bly and performance of the specified work and/or products. 1.3.1 Hard Metric A hard metric measurement is indicated by an SI val ue with no expressed correlation to an I-P value. Hard metric measureme nts are often used for field data such as distance from one point to anoth er or distance above the floor. Products are considered to be hard metric w hen they are manufactured to metric dimensions or have an industry recognized metric designation.


1.3.2 Soft Metric a. A soft metric measurement is indicated by an SI value which is a mathematical conversion of the I-P value shown in p arentheses (e.g. 38.1 mm (1-1/2 inches)). Soft metric measurements are used for measurements pertaining to products, test values, and other situ ations where the I-P units are the standard for manufacture, verification, or other controlling factor. The I-P value shall govern while the metric measure ment is provided for information. b. A soft metric measurement is also indicated for products that are manufactured in industry designated metric dimensio ns but are required by law to allow substitute I-P products. These measuremen ts are indicated by a manufacturing hard metric product dimension followe d by the substitute I-P equivalent value in parentheses (e.g., 190 x 190 x 390 mm (7-5/8 x 7-5/8 x 15-5/8 inches)). 1.3.3 Neutral A neutral measurement is indicated by an identifier which has no expressed relation to either an SI or an I-P value (e.g., Ame rican Wire Gage (AWG) which indicates thickness but in itself is neither SI nor I-P). 1.4 COORDINATION Discrepancies, such as mismatches or product unavai lability, arising from use of both metric and non-metric measurements and disc repancies between the measurements in the specifications and the measurem ents in the drawings shall be brought to the attention of the Contracting Offi cer for resolution. 1.5 RELATIONSHIP TO SUBMITTALS Submittals for Government approval or for informati on only shall cover the SI or I-P products actually being furnished for the pr oject. The Contractor shall submit the required drawings and calculations in the same units used in the contract documents describing the product or re quirement unless otherwise instructed or approved. The Contractor shall use I EEE/ASTM SI 10 and ASTM E 621 as the basis for establishing metric measuremen ts required to be used in submittals.

Such a request shall be in accordance with the requirements of other appropriate Contract Clauses and shall includ e, as a minimum: a. A list of affected activities, with their assoc iated project schedule activity number. b. A brief explanation of the causes of the change . c. An analysis of the overall impact of the change s proposed. d. A sub-network of the affected area. Activities impacted in each justification for chang e shall be identified by a unique activity code contained in the required data file. 3.7.3 Additional Submission Requirements For any requested time extension of over 2 weeks, t he Contracting Officer may request an interim update with revised activities f or a specific change request. The Contractor shall provide this disk wi thin 4 days of the Contracting Officer's request. 3.8 DIRECTED CHANGES If the NTP is issued for changes prior to settlemen t of price and/or time, the Contractor shall submit proposed schedule revisions to the Contracting Officer within 2 weeks of the NTP being issued. The propos ed revisions to the schedule will be approved by the Contracting Office r prior to inclusion of those changes within the project schedule. If the Contractor fails to submit the proposed revisions, the Contracting Officer may furnish the Contractor with suggested revisions to the project schedule. The Contractor shall include these revisions in the project schedule unt il revisions are submitted, and final changes and impacts have been negotiated. If the Contractor has any


objections to the revisions furnished by the Contra cting Officer, the Contractor shall advise the Contracting Officer wit hin 2 weeks of receipt of the revisions. Regardless of the objections, the C ontractor shall continue to update the schedule with the Contracting Officer's revisions until a mutual agreement in the revisions is reached. If the Cont ractor fails to submit alternative revisions within 2 weeks of receipt of the Contracting Officer's proposed revisions, the Contractor will be deemed t o have concurred with the Contracting Officer's proposed revisions. The prop osed revisions will then be the basis for an equitable adjustment for performan ce of the work. 3.9 OWNERSHIP OF FLOAT Float available in the schedule, at any time, shall not be considered for the

exclusive use of either the Government or the Contr actor.
