7 Engineering Department Manual Electrical - Overview Last Updated: 05/02/2019 Page 1 Reviewed/Released 2019 Electrical DISCIPLINE OVERVIEW These Guidelines are provided as an overview of the Port Authority s Design standards.
8 Design details and associated documents outlined in these documents will be provided to the success client. The Guidelines shall not replace professional Design analyses nor are the Guidelines intended to limit innovative Design where equal performance in value, safety, and maintenance economy can be demonstrated. The Design team shall be responsible for producing designs that comply with the Guidelines in addition to all applicable codes, ordinances, statutes, rules, regulations, and laws. Any conflict between the Guidelines and an applicable code, ordinance, statute, rule, regulation, and/or law shall be addressed with the respective functional chief. The use and inclusion of the Guidelines , specifications, or example drawing details as part of the Contract Documents does not alleviate the Design professional from their responsibilities or legal liability for any Contract Documents they create.
9 It is also recognized that the Guidelines are not universally applicable to every project. There may be instances where a guideline may not be appropriate. If the Design professional believes that a deviation from the Guidelines is warranted, such a deviation shall be submitted in writing for approval to the respective functional chief. The Electrical Discipline prepares contract drawings, specifications, construction cost estimates, and construction staging plans for the installation and rehabilitation of power, lighting, fire alarm, communication, computer data, security, and various other electronic systems at the various Port Authority of New York & New Jersey facilities. During the Design of these systems, the Electrical Discipline staff performs condition surveys and prepares master plans, conceptual designs, contract drawings, specifications, construction staging, cost estimates, etc.
10 The Design Guidelines contained herein are provided as an aid and reference for the engineering and Design services outlined above. Acronyms used throughout this guideline are defined in Appendix A.
