### Liquid-Tight Conduit

> [!quote] Spec 260510 2.4(G)
> Liquid-tight flexible metallic raceway
> shall be similar to standard flexible steel conduit
> except encased in liquid tight neoprene outer jacket.

No definition is provided for a liquid-tight flexible non-metallic raceway

> [!quote] Spec 260510 2.4(G)(7) (text decoration added)
> Provide _liquid-tight flexible conduit_
> for each motor and rotating device for power and control, ~~computer room~~[^1]

> in mechanical rooms or where subject to moisture or weather.

[^1]: I feel fairly confident this is erroneous.

### Voltage Drop

> [!quote] Spec 260510 2.2(C)(4) (text decoration added)
> Sizing of conductors and conduits
> shall be solely the responsibility of the Contractor
> and shall be based on the NEC, [[nfpa-70_310_conductors_for_general_wiring|Article 310]].
> Ampacity shall be equal to, or greater than, the required load specified.
> ==Voltage drop shall be no greater than that allowed by the NEC.==

> [!quote] Dwg. E00-00 "GENERAL PRICING NOTES" Note 9
> PROVIDE ALLOWANCE TO UPSIZE FEEDERS/BRANCH CIRCUITS
> (OVER 100 FEET FOR 120/208V, OVER 200 FEET FOR 277/480V)
> FOR A MAXIMUM OF 3% VOLTAGE DROP.

### Lighting Control

> [!quote] LD 03-XX Typical Master Switch Callout
> MASTER - TO CONTROL ENTRY AND ROOM ONLY. ELECTRICAL ENGINEER TO SPECIFY ENERGY CODE COMPLIANT “MASTER OFF” FOR THE REQUIRED GUESTROOM LOADS. GMLD RECOMMENDS LUTRON’S "CODE-SMART" SYSTEM THAT POWERS THE LIGHTING SHOWN HERE AS WELL AS TAKES INPUT FROM THIRD-PARTYDOOR CONTACTS, THERMOSTATS AND OCCUPANCY SENSORS. THIS SYSTEM MEETS THE ENERGY CODE REQUIREMENT TO TURN OFF LOADS AFTER A SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME AND ALSO PREVENTS LOADS FROM TURNING ON OR OFF UNEXPECTEDLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

Lighting control quote does not include master switches

> [!quote] PDR Lutron Lighting Control Quote 2025-12-10
> (13) Pre-Assembled Processor Panel,
> (14) Athena Centralized Din Lighting Control Panel,
> (14) DALI ESN Panel,
> (14) QS Sensor Module,
> (4) Touchscreen,
> (112) QS Wired Keypads,
> (2) Partition Sensor,
> (31) Wired Occupancy Sensor,
> (2) 5 Contact Closure Inputs and 5 Relay Outputs

> [!quote] Proposal 2025-12-12, Pricing Summary
> Lighting Controls – Lutron (turnkey) $ 850,000

Assuming that this line includes master switches
based on sum of quote and switch allowance

> [!quote] PDR Lutron Lighting Control Quote 2025-12-10, Pricing Summary –Turnkey 
> Lighting Control: Lutron $ 738,400.00

> [!quote] 2025.12.09 - Charlotte South End Hotel - Bid Sheet v16-4-2, "Add-On Items"
> master switch in guestrooms - TBD | $ 72,023

### EV Chargers

> [!quote] Proposal 2025-12-12, Alternates
> Add: (21) EV-Capable and (3) EV-Installed per Building Connected  $ 38,000

Panel LG's schedule (E06-13)
shows (10) 40A/2P circuits
with description "EV CHARGER".

These circuits are not shown on the electrical set,
nor are any chargers besides.
