SECTION 011000 - SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SCOPE OF WORK

A. It is the intent of these contract documents to cover providing all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary for and reasonably incidental to the completion of:

As prepared by: PACE Collaborative

1277 Perimeter Parkway

Virginia Beach, VA 23454

Serving as Architect/Engineer under the contract documents.

1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Project will be constructed under a single prime contract.

B. The work includes full replacement of all HVAC systems of Azalea Gardens Middle School.

All existing window units, rooftop units, wall mounted units and ductless split systems shall be removed. Boilers and hot water piping will be removed in the mechanical room to allow proper electrical panel clearances. The new HVAC system shall be a mix of packaged units (BARD type), and packaged rooftop units. Ceilings within path of new ductwork shall be removed and new ceilings and lights will be provided. Existing wall, window, and roof penetrations not reused shall be repaired. Supporting electrical, architectural and structural work will also be included, along with some abatement work.

1.3 USE OF PREMISES

A. General: Contractor shall have limited use of premises for construction operations as indicated on Drawings by the Contract limits.

B. Use of Site: Limit use of premises to work in areas indicated. Do not disturb portions of

Project site beyond areas in which the Work is indicated.

1. Owner Occupancy: Allow for Owner occupancy of Project site and use by the public.

2. Driveways and Entrances: Keep driveways and entrances serving premises clear and available to Owner, Owner's employees, and emergency vehicles at all times. Do not use these areas for parking or storage of materials.

3. Schedule deliveries to minimize space and time requirements for storage of materials and equipment on-site.

4. Use of Existing Building/site: Repair damage caused by construction operations. Protect building and its occupants during construction period.

SUMMARY 01100 - 2

5. Ruts, in grass areas, created by construction equipment, are to be corrected in the following manner.

a. If grass is still present in the rut, pry up the grass with a digging fork. If ruts are shallow, lift the turf so it’s 1 to 2 inches above the surrounding grade. Give it time to see if it settles evenly with surrounding turf. If the rut settles unevenly, then correct by cutting sod and adding additional soil, as stated below.

b. For ruts deeper than 4 inches, use an edger and slice the grass in the center of the rut and cut sod loose. Lift the sod and fold it up and back so it’s resting on surrounding lawn. Loosen soil in the rut, adding more as needed to bring it 1 to 2 inches above the surrounding grade. Flip the turf back into place, water, and wait for it to settle. Take care not to scalp this higher section of lawn when you mow.

One (1) month after, roll any high spots that remain so that lawn is flush and smooth.

c. If there is no grass present in the rut, loosen soil before adding more soil and seeding. Stick a digging fork into soil beside the rut at a 45-degree angle so the fork’s tines are beneath the rut. Gently lever soil up by pushing down on the handle. Fill the rut with your soil mix, sow grass seed, and water.

6. Ruts, in planting areas, created by construction equipment, are to be corrected in the following manner.

a. If the rut is less than 2-inches deep, pry up the bed with a digging fork, lifting and loosening the dirt and mulch so it’s 1 to 2 inches above the surrounding grade.

Give it time to see if it settles evenly with surrounding turf. If the rut settles unevenly, then correct by adding additional soil and mulching.

7. For ruts deeper than 4 inches, loosen soil before adding more soil. Stick a digging fork into soil beside the rut at a 45-degree angle so the fork’s tines are beneath the rut. Gently lever soil up by pushing down on the handle. Fill the rut with your soil mix, mulch, and water.

8. Soil mix

a. To fill in lawn ruts and holes, blend planting soil with sand and/or compost.

Usually blending equal parts of each material forms a mix that allows grass to root effectively through the mix into existing soil. Check with your local extension agent or garden center for specific soil recommendations for your area.

1.4 OWNER'S OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENTS

A. Owner Occupancy: Owner will occupy their administrative offices during the entire construction period. Cooperate with Owner during construction operations to minimize conflicts and facilitate Owner usage. Perform the Work so as not to interfere with Owner's operations. Maintain existing exits, unless otherwise indicated.

B. Provide not less than 72 hours' notice to Owner of activities that will affect Owner's operations.
