9/10/2023 Project Name Pg. 19/37 Summary 01 10 00

E. Cutting: Cut in-place construction by sawing, drilling, breaking, chipping, grinding, and similar operations, including excavation, using methods least likely to damage elements retained or adjoining construction. If possible, review proposed procedures with original Installer; comply with original Installer's written recommendations.

F. In general, use hand or small power tools designed for sawing and grinding, not hammer-ing and chopping. Cut holes and slots neatly to minimum size required, and with minimum disturbance of adjacent surfaces. Temporarily cover openings when not in use.

G. Finished Surfaces: Cut or drill from the exposed or finished side into concealed surfaces.

H. Mechanical and Electrical Services: Cut off pipe or conduit in walls or partitions to be re-moved. Cap, valve, or plug and seal remaining portion of pipe or conduit to prevent en-trance of moisture or other foreign matter after cutting.

I. Proceed with patching after construction operations requiring cutting are complete.

J. Patching: Patch construction by filling, repairing, refinishing, closing up, and similar oper-ations following performance of other Work. Patch with durable seams that are as invisible as practicable, as judged by Contracting Officer. Provide materials and comply with instal-lation requirements specified in other Sections, where applicable.

K. Inspection: Where feasible, test and inspect patched areas after completion to demonstrate physical integrity of installation.

L. Exposed Finishes: Restore exposed finishes of patched areas and extend finish restoration into retained adjoining construction in a manner that will eliminate evidence of patching and refinishing.

M. Clean piping, conduit, and similar features before applying paint or other finishing materi-als.

N. Restore damaged pipe covering to its original condition.

O. Floors and Walls: Where walls or partitions that are removed extend one finished area into another, patch and repair floor and wall surfaces in the new space. Provide an even surface of uniform finish, color, texture, and appearance. Remove in-place floor and wall coverings and replace with new materials, if necessary, to achieve uniform color and appearance.

P. Where patching occurs in a painted surface, prepare substrate and apply primer and inter-mediate paint coats appropriate for substrate over the patch, and apply final paint coat over entire unbroken surface containing the patch, corner to corner of wall and edge to edge of ceiling. Provide additional coats until patch blends with adjacent surfaces.

Q. Ceilings: Patch, repair, or rehang in-place ceilings as necessary to provide an even-plane surface of uniform appearance.

R. Exterior Building Enclosure: Patch components in a manner that restores enclosure to a weathertight condition and ensures thermal and moisture integrity of building enclosure.

S. Cleaning: Clean areas and spaces where cutting and patching are performed. Remove paint, mortar, oils, putty, and similar materials from adjacent finished surfaces.

12.07 PROGRESS CLEANING

A. General: Clean Project site and work areas daily, including common areas. Enforce re-quirements strictly. Dispose of materials lawfully.

B. Site: Maintain Project site free of waste materials and debris.

C. Work Areas: Clean areas where work is in progress to the level of cleanliness necessary for proper execution of the Work.

1. Remove liquid spills promptly.

2. Where dust would impair proper execution of the Work, broom-clean or vacuum the entire work area, as appropriate.

D. Installed Work: Keep installed work clean. Clean installed surfaces according to written instructions of manufacturer or fabricator of product installed, using only cleaning materi-als specifically recommended. If specific cleaning materials are not recommended, use cleaning materials that are not hazardous to health or property and that will not damage ex-posed surfaces.

E. Concealed Spaces: Remove debris from concealed spaces before enclosing the space.

F. Exposed Surfaces in Finished Areas: Clean exposed surfaces and protect as necessary to ensure freedom from damage and deterioration at time…
