About this file

This is a technical specification document for Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) that establishes comprehensive construction and design standards for a design-build project at the university's campus in Fort Myers, Florida. The specifications span Divisions 00 through 14 and cover all major building systems including concrete, masonry, metals, wood, thermal and moisture protection, openings, finishes, specialties, equipment, furnishings, and conveying systems. The document includes detailed requirements for materials, installation methods, quality assurance, and coordination procedures across multiple construction trades. Two project alternates are specified: Alternate No. 1 requires deduct pricing for removal of a one-story building portion with curtain wall enclosure of the resulting opening, while Alternate No. 2 requires add pricing for a parking lot expansion adding 24 parking spaces at the existing BSM&A center. The specifications establish mandatory administrative procedures including coordination meetings, surveys, cutting and patching protocols, shop drawing and product data submittals, and temporary facilities management throughout the construction period.

The specifications impose rigorous quality assurance and submittal requirements on contractors, mandating weekly coordination meetings, pre-installation conferences for major work units, coordination drawings prepared in blueline format, and product data and sample submittals processed within specified timeframes. Contractors must engage licensed surveyors registered in Florida to establish and maintain benchmarks, verify layouts, and prepare final property surveys. Temporary facilities provisions require the contractor to provide field offices, sanitary facilities, waste disposal systems, security fencing, fire protection, and erosion control measures in compliance with FDOT specifications, Florida Administrative Code Chapter 17-40, and NPDES permitting requirements. All erosion prevention and stormwater pollution control costs are non-compensable and must be included in contract unit prices. The specifications require contractors to obtain NPDES stormwater pollution prevention plan certification and to conduct inspections at minimum every seven calendar days with documented reports retained for three years following final site stabilization.

PART 2 – PRODUCTS

2.01 MATERIALS:

A. General: "Except as otherwise indicated, or as directed by the Architect/Engineer, use materials for cutting and patching that are identical to existing materials. If identical materials are not available, or cannot be used, use materials that match existing adjacent surfaces to the fullest extent possible with regard to visual effect. Use materials for cutting and patching that will result in equal-or-better performance characteristics

PART 3 – EXECUTION

3.01 INSPECTION:

A. Before cutting, examine the surfaces to be cut and patched and the conditions under which the work is to be performed. If unsafe or otherwise unsatisfactory conditions are encountered, take corrective action before proceeding with the work.

B. Before the start of cutting work, meet at the work site with all parties involved in cutting and patching, including mechanical and electrical trades. Review areas of potential interference and conflict between the various trades. Coordinate layout of the work and resolve potential conflicts before proceeding with the work.

Cutting And Patching 01 04 50 - 3

A. Temporary Support: To prevent failure, provide temporary support of work to be cut.

B. Protection: Protect other work during cutting and patching to prevent damage. Provide protection from adverse weather conditions for that part of the project that may be exposed during cutting and patching operations.

1. Avoid interference with use of adjoining areas or interruption of free passage to adjoining areas.

2. Take precautions not to cut existing pipe, conduit or duct serving the building but scheduled to be relocated until provisions have been made to bypass them.

3.03 PERFORMANCE:

A. General: Employ skilled workmen to perform cutting and patching work. Except as otherwise indicated or as approved by the Architect/Engineer, proceed with cutting and patching at the earliest feasible time and complete work without delay.

B. Cutting: Cut the work using methods that are least likely to damage work to be retained or adjoining work. Where possible review proposed procedures with the original installer; comply with original installer's recommendations.

1. In general, where cutting is required use hand or small power tools designed for sawing or grinding, not hammering and chopping. Cut through concrete and masonry using a cutting machine such as a carborundum saw or core drill to insure a neat hole. Cut holes and slots neatly to size required with minimum disturbance of adjacent work. To avoid marring existing finished surfaces, cut or drill from the exposed or finished side into concealed surfaces. Temporarily cover openings when not in use.

2. Comply with requirements of applicable sections of Division 2 where cutting and patching requires excavating and backfilling.

3. By-pass utility services such as pipe and conduit, before cutting, where such utility services are shown or required to be removed, relocated or abandoned. Cut-off conduit and pipe in walls or partitions to be removed. After by-pass and cutting, cap, valve or plug and seal tight remaining portion of pipe and conduit to prevent entrance of moisture or other foreign matter.

C. Patching: Patch with seams which are durable and as invisible as possible. Comply with specified tolerances for the work.

1. Where feasible, inspect and test patched areas to demonstrate integrity of work.

2. Restore exposed finishes of patched areas and where necessary extend finish restoration into retained adjoining work in a manner which will eliminate evidence of patching and refinishing.
