Sec. 4b-93. (Formerly Sec. 4-137c). Contract specifications; subtrades, subcontracts. (a) Every contract subject to this chapter shall include plans and specifications
detailing all labor and materials to be furnished thereunder. Such specifications shall
have a separate section for each of the following classes of work if, in the estimate of
the awarding authority, the class of work will exceed twenty-five thousand dollars: (1)
Masonry work; (2) electrical work; (3) mechanical work other than heating, ventilating
and air conditioning work; and (4) heating, ventilating and air conditioning work. Such
specifications shall also have a separate section for each other class of work for which
the awarding authority deems it necessary or convenient.
(c) Whenever the awarding authority has designated a separate section for a class of work, under subsection (a) of this section, the general contractor shall, when applicable, state as part of its application for partial payment that it considers the work required to be done under any such separate section to be fully completed in accordance with the terms of the contract. The awarding authority shall thereupon conduct an inspection of the work in such class, and if it finds that such work has been fully completed in accordance with the terms of the contract, it shall issue a statement certifying that such work is accepted as fully completed, and shall pay the general contractor in full for such work.
