Flag explanation

Structural clause 9 requires a minimum 2" clearance between the bottom of duct/conduit and bottom-of-steel at beam crossings, specifically citing RA-1 crossing BM-4. Mechanical clause 2 confirms RA-1's bottom-of-duct elevation is +9'-2" AFF while BM-4's bottom-of-steel is +9'-0" AFF, meaning the duct is actually 2" ABOVE (i.e., intruding into) the beam's bottom-of-steel rather than clearing it by 2" below. This is a direct physical clash - the duct as drawn occupies the same space as the beam flange and does not meet the required clearance.

Clause '9' (structural):
9. Bottom-of-steel elevations noted above are to the bottom of the beam flange, above finished floor. Mechanical and electrical trades should maintain a minimum 2" clearance below bottom-of-steel for all ductwork and conduit racks crossing beam lines -- see M-101,
which shows the RA-1 return duct crossing BM-4's bay with its own bottom-of-duct elevation noted; confirm that elevation clears BM-4's bottom-of-steel by at least 2".

Candidate clauses from other disciplines in the same submission (only these may be cited):
[id: 9c98e50b-aa8d-4e06-ab20-40cfdec784d2] mechanical 2: 2. RA-1 is a 24"x14" return air duct routed along Grid Line B between Grid 2 and Grid 3, with a bottom-of-duct elevation of +9'-2" AFF. This routing crosses the same bay as structural beam BM-4, whose bottom-of-steel elevation is noted on S-101 as +9'-0" AFF. Because
RA-1's bottom-of-duct elevation (9'-2") is above BM-4's bottom-of-steel elevation (9'-0"), the duct as drawn does not clear the beam -- coordinate a revised duct routing or elevation with the structural engineer before installation.

[id: d85768ef-17e9-4812-b54e-d3cc4d7b2e7f] mechanical 6: 6. Coordinate all duct routing crossing structural beam lines with the structural engineer's bottom-of-steel elevations shown on S-101; see the RA-1 note above.

[id: ada4f233-90a1-47cb-a3a7-975a4474df54] civil 6: 6. These two utilities cross near Station 0+20, and no horizontal or vertical separation is called out at the crossing -- coordinate the required clearance between the water service and the duct bank with the electrical engineer and the local utility standards before trenching.

[id: 2bbaaa44-1dda-4652-852b-4262f721b4d0] mechanical 4: 4. All ductwork is 24 ga. galvanized steel per SMACNA standards unless noted otherwise.

[id: c0dba465-0fb3-41ea-84f6-239eb774c8d5] electrical 8: 8. Coordinate underground duct bank routing with civil site utilities, C-101.

Does this clause create a coordination conflict with any of the candidates above - i.e. do they describe the same physical space, element, or system in a way that is physically or functionally incompatible?
