Question #14, Case 4: HVAC units The general contractor on this project chose not to purchase the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment from the mechanical subcontractor, but rather they purchased it directly from the manufacturer. Why would a GC do this? The shop drawings were submitted and were per specifications. The submittal was approved and returned on time. The equipment was delivered on time, but because the HVAC subcontractor had not yet mobilized on-site, the GC unloaded the mechanical units from the truck and hoisted them to location with the GC's own crane. The subcontractor connected the equipment after placement. The system was completed on schedule, but on a very hot design day, during HVAC balancing, it is discovered that the units are not keeping up with air conditioning requirements. The labels are checked, and it is discovered that they are undersized by one-third from the specified units. The approved submittal does not match up with what has been installed. Who is at fault? How could "active" quality control have prevented this from happening? How is it now and/or should be resolved contractually and physically?

You are the engineer responsible for the design and installation of plumbing in a new public elementary school under construction. The project is running behind schedule ad above budget. The latest catch is that the supplier has not delivered the specified backflow preventers. Although a strike at the manufacturer’s plant has been settled, the back order list is moving slowly. The engineer serving as coordinator of the project orders you to obtain less expensive backflow preventers that are readily available from another manufacturer. These backflow preventers are of lesser quality than those specified in the plans, have a history of occasional failure, and are likely to need earlier replacement. What should you do?
