101.01 VOICE /MOOD AND REFERENCES. This specification book
uses the active voice, imperative mood when describing the contractor’s responsibility. For example:
101.01.1 Active Voice /Imperative Mood : Provide competent
supervision. The subject of a sentence written in the active voice/imperative mood is not explicitly stated. In these specifications, the implied subject of such a sentence is typically the contractor, although in certain situations, the subject may also be a vendor, fabricator, or manufacturer engaged by the contractor to supply material, products, or equipment for use on the project. Prior to award of a contract, the imperative statements are directed to the bidder; it is only after the contract has been awarded that the imperatives are directed to the contractor. Section and Subsection titles , and headings provide reference only, not interpretation.
