c) Repair all roof structure and roof vents to be sealed against any rodent intrusion and water leaks.

d) Seal all metal roof end openings at eaves with matching seal gaskets or spray foam. High expansion or low expansion foam may be used, however low expansion foam (i.e., Daptex ®) is recommended. If spray foam is used any foam extruding past the end of the metal roof shall be trimmed to match the end of the metal and sealed with dark brown exterior grade, satin or semi-gloss latex paint.

e) Repair penetrations through exterior walls, including bird/rodent holes and foundation vents including utility penetrations.

i) Existing foam wall repairs that have not been re-opened do not require additional work, except that they shall be painted with the same paint used to touch up new repairs.

ii) Routing of dryer vent to exterior space in B-house may require installation of crawlspace access. Such access will be added to work after award as required under Time and Materials portion of contract.

iii) Sealing of bathtub plumbing holes underneath A-house and other areas. Use of metal flashing or wood or a combination is acceptable under flooring.

f) Remove unused flue/chimney pipe vents etc.

i) Each building has one roof stack and/or ducting to be removed.

ii) For removing abandoned chimney/vents covering opening with wood at ceiling is acceptable.

iii) Roof openings shall be removed (where a cover is existing), reinforced with ⅝” or better OSB or ¾” plywood, sealed, and protected with sheet metal (or matching roofing material) and sealant.

4) Replace broken window panes

a) Repair existing windows according to Attachment 4 Section 080181. Work is summarized as follows.

b) Remove broken panes of single pane glass approximately 10” by 12” tall.

5) Install safety devices (electrical)

a) All detectors shall be hard wired (behind the wall) on a separate circuit and not switched to prevent tampering with or shutting off unit.

b) Install new smoke detectors

i) Smoke detectors shall be mounted and wired without any shut off device (except over-current protection at circuit panel).

ii) One smoke detector is required in each of the following areas:

(1) In each separate space between sleeping areas and exit door for those sleeping areas.

(2) Inside each sleeping area

(3) Inside our just outside rooms likely to be the source of fires, mechanical rooms, heater locations, etc.

iii) Each smoke detector must have battery backup, batteries to be supplied at initial installation by contractor. Low battery warning shall be included on each separate detector.

c) Install carbon monoxide detectors

i) CO detectors shall be installed in hallways outside of sleeping areas and at location of each gas fueled device.

(1) Contractor may install only one device to cover both locations where hallway and gas device are in same location.

ii) CO devices shall be installed at approximately 3’ from floor to represent build-up of CO at sleeping level of human respiration.

6) Electrical Inspection and Work Items

a) Perform a full commercial building code inspection and report all findings by line item. An example inspection is attached. The attached example is not comprehensive or exhaustive. The inspector shall use his/her judgment to ensure that all necessary safety items have been inspected. The inspection is not limited to but shall include the following items.

i) Shut off all known loads and check for current at meter, if a draw is present find it and report it.

ii) Inspect all interior wires and connections for safety and correct type and size for load.

iii) Inspect for dedicated circuits for appliances such as microwave, electric ovens, AC and Heat units.

iv) Repair or replace existing appliance wiring that is not properly wired to code.

v) Rate each branch circuit for the lowest capacity by :

(1) Circuit breaker load

(2) Wire size and run length (estimate run length)

(3) Connector types and size

vi) Properly identify and label existing circuit panels.

b) If possible repairs will be added under the Time & Materials portion of this contract for such items that cannot be foreseen such as new ‘home run’ dedicated circuits for electrical ovens, microwaves, air conditioners and heaters where a dedicated circuit is not already in place or the existing circuit wiring or connections, etc. are of inadequate size/type.
