I. PROJECT OVERVIEW:

This project comprises the full renovation of the kitchen breakroom in Room B15, Building B, at the U.S. Embassy Paris. Works shall be organized into two lots:

Lot 1 covers the complete fit-out of the kitchen space, including demolition of all existing equipment and finishes; installation of new ceramic floor and wall tiling throughout the room;

supply and installation of a full kitchen cabinet suite (type IKEA or equivalent) with integrated appliances (refrigerators, compact oven, and microwave); a custom quartz countertop; a new stainless steel sink and mixer tap; reinstallation of the existing water fountain; new dedicated plumbing, drainage, and electrical circuits; and concealed under-cabinet LED lighting with occupancy sensor control. All works shall comply with applicable French standards (NF DTU

60.1, NF C 15-100, NF DTU 52.2) and a CONSUEL electrical compliance certificate shall be issued upon completion.

Lot 2 covers the partial demolition of an existing non-load-bearing partition and installation of a custom steel-framed workshop-style glazed screen (verrière atelier) above 2,000mm finished floor level. The glazed screen is designed to preserve natural light transmission between the kitchen and the adjacent open-plan office while providing a defined visual separation. A 200mm coffee bar shelf shall be installed at the junction between the retained partition and the base of the glazed screen. All structural calculations shall be certified by an engineer and submitted to the Contracting

Officer's Representative (COR) for approval prior to fabrication.

Both lots shall include site mobilization, protection, cleaning, and waste removal to a licensed disposal facility upon completion.

All brand-name items are specified for design reference purposes only. The contractor may supply equivalent products meeting the same dimensional, functional, and aesthetic criteria, subject to prior written approval.

➢ Supply and install a 200mm-wide shelf at the top of the retained partition, at the junction with the base of the glazed screen.

➢ Material: moisture-resistant MDF, finished with durable laminate or solid surface

(color/finish to be agreed with the CA Section).

➢ Minimum load capacity: 50 kg/m².

Structural Support — Steel Stabilizing Columns:

➢ To provide primary structural support for the coffee bar shelf and to act as perpendicular bracing to the existing retained partition wall, the contractor shall supply and install a series of vertical steel square-section columns positioned along the front face of the retained partition, as follows:

o Section: 80×80mm hollow square steel section (8–10cm as specified), to be confirmed by the contractor based on load and span calculations.

o Spacing: Maximum 1,200mm (1.2m) centres along the full length of the retained partition, from floor to underside of the coffee bar shelf.

13 | P a g e 1 4 o Base fixing: Each column to be fixed to the finished floor via a steel base plate with anchor bolts, positioned to avoid conflict with the tile waterproofing membrane. Base plates to be recessed or finished flush.

o Head fixing: Each column to be fixed to the underside of the coffee bar shelf and/or to the top of the retained partition via a steel head plate, providing both vertical support to the shelf and lateral/perpendicular bracing to the partition wall.

o Lateral bracing function: The columns shall act as perpendicular bracing elements to the retained partition, stabilizing it against out-of-plane forces and providing a rigid structural connection between the floor, the partition, and the glazed screen frame above.

o Finish: All columns, base plates, and head plates to be painted white (RAL 9010 or equivalent), finish to match the glazed screen frame color if white is selected, or as directed by the CA Section.

o Structural verification: The contractor shall verify column section sizes, base fixing capacity, and connection details via a structural engineer. Endorsed structural calculations and a dimensioned shop drawing shall be submitted to the Contracting

Officer's Representative (COR) for approval prior to fabrication and installation.

Note: The exact number of columns shall be determined by the on-site measured length of the retained partition divided by the 1.2m maximum spacing. The contractor shall confirm the final column count and layout in the dimensioned shop drawing submitted for COR approval.

2.3 Proprietary Atelier-Style Glazed Screen

The glazed separation above 2,000mm AFL shall be a proprietary atelier-style steel-framed glazing system, fabricated and supplied by a specialist manufacturer. This system is selected to preserve natural light transmission between the kitchen and the adjacent open-plan office space, while providing a defined visual separation in an industrial and elegant aesthetic.

Structural Strategy — Self-Supporting Frame:

➢ The structural ceiling height is 3,500mm AFL. The existing suspended ceiling at 2,700mm

AFL shall remain intact.

➢ Vertical steel uprights shall act as vertical cantilevers from the base plate fixed to the top of the retained partition, laterally stabilized by corner posts bolted into the side walls on each side of the opening. Where required, a stiffener/raidisseur shall be incorporated into the frame design.

➢ The structural steel columns specified in Section 2.2 shall be coordinated with the glazed screen frame design to ensure a unified structural system. The contractor shall confirm the interface between the column heads, the coffee bar shelf, and the glazed screen base plate in the shop drawings submitted for COR approval.

➢ If the geometry of the opening does not allow sufficient lateral bracing from the side walls, the contractor shall propose a horizontal steel distribution beam at the top of the frame, spanning from side wall to side wall, subject to approval prior to fabrication.

➢ The contractor shall verify the upright sections and base fixing capacity. Structural calculations shall be submitted to the COR for approval prior to fabrication.

14 | P a g e 1 4

Dimensions and Number of Glazing Panels:

➢ The exact width of the opening shall be measured on site by the contractor prior to fabrication.

The number of glazing panels shall be determined accordingly per the manufacturer's standard sizing matrix (1 panel per 20–35cm of width, up to 8 panels for widths up to 300cm).

➢ A dimensioned workshop drawing shall be submitted for COR approval prior to fabrication.

Frame Finish:

➢ Powder coat (thermolacquered) finish.

➢ All perimeter joints (frame/partition, frame/side walls) shall be sealed with appropriate fire-rated and acoustic sealant.

➢ Installation shall be carried out using a rolling scaffold or platform suitable for the working height, in compliance with French Decree No. 2004-924 (working at height).

➢ Glazing handling at height shall be performed by a minimum of two operators using appropriate lifting suction cups.
