Amendment 0009 Questions and Answers

Question 1: I refer you to 085200 Part 1 Paragraph 1.6 Warranty item b. Glazing Units : 20 Years from date of Substantial Completion and to 088000 Part 1 Section 1.6 C Warranty and the warranty period is 10 years from date of substantial completion. And this section deals specifically with seal failures.

What are the specific 20 year warranty requirements in Section 085200 as none are listed.

Answer 1: It is the intention of the work that insulated glazing installed in the wood windows referenced in Section 085200 carry a minimum warranty for failure of 20 years. This is a more stringent time period than if the glass were to be provided as a component of a field assembled unit (such as a store front or field glazed door) due to the expected quality considerations a factory produced unit would have over a field assembled unit. Given that sections 085200 and 088000 are complimentary and cross reference each other, the failure modes for the warranty required in section 085200 would be as defined in section 08800, only the time period of the warranty is affected.
