TEC Modernization & Addition Technical Specifications Summary

This document comprises the detailed technical specifications for the TEC Modernization & Addition project (Contract No. 2026-1683) located at 20234 Mack Street, Hayward, California, issued by AC Transit for a zero-emission bus facility modernization. The project involves renovation and expansion of an existing Training and Education Center, including approximately 1,164 square feet of second-floor renovation within the existing building envelope and a new 1,350-square-foot building addition. Scope includes upgrading existing bus maintenance bays to hydrogen-safe configurations for fuel cell bus servicing, installing a new mezzanine level, adding canopy coverage, replacing paving at main entrances, and reconfiguring interior spaces including lobbies, offices, and classrooms. The specifications detail work across 32 construction divisions covering selective demolition, concrete work, structural steel, thermal and moisture protection, openings, finishes, specialties, equipment, conveying systems, fire suppression, plumbing, HVAC, electrical systems, communications, and exterior improvements. Design professionals of record include Architect Loretto Seles (C37354), Structural Engineer Josh Gebelein (S5015), Fire-Protection Engineer Rich Silva (38104), Mechanical Engineers Rich Silva for plumbing and Steve Lian (M42470) for HVAC, and Electrical Engineer Kiran Upadhyay (E21415).

The specifications establish detailed requirements for materials, products, execution standards, and quality control across all construction trades, with emphasis on compliance with ACI standards for concrete work, ASTM International standards for materials testing, and ACI certification requirements for concrete field personnel. Special inspection and field quality control testing will be performed by an independent testing agency acceptable to authorities having jurisdiction, with requirements for preconstruction mixture testing, daily concrete strength verification, and documented inspections of formwork, reinforcement placement, and finishing work. The contract includes provisions for managing construction joints, vapor retarders, concrete curing methods, and repair procedures, with specific tolerances referenced to ACI 117 standards. Environmental considerations include cold and hot-weather concreting procedures, waste management, and protection of existing utilities and facilities. FTA-funded capital improvements indicate federal funding involvement, though the specifications document does not detail pricing, bid amounts, set-asides, or contract term information.

SELECTIVE DEMOLITION 02 41 19

SECTION 02 41 19

SELECTIVE DEMOLITION

PART 1 – GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

Section Includes:

Demolition and removal of selected portions of building or structure.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

Remove: Detach items from existing construction and legally dispose of them off-site, unless indicated to be removed and salvaged or removed and reinstalled.

Remove and Reinstall: Detach items from existing construction, prepare them for reuse, and reinstall them where indicated.

Existing to Remain: Existing items of construction that are not to be removed and that are not otherwise indicated to be removed, removed and salvaged, or removed and reinstalled.

1.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE

Standards: Comply with ANSI A10.6 and NFPA 241.

1.4 PROJECT CONDITIONS

Notify Architect of discrepancies between existing conditions and Drawings before proceeding with selective demolition.

Storage or sale of removed items or materials on-site is not permitted.

Utility Service: Maintain existing utilities indicated to remain in service and protect them against damage during selective demolition operations.

Maintain fire-protection facilities in service during selective demolition operations.

1.5 WARRANTY

Existing Warranties: Remove, replace, patch, and repair materials and surfaces cut or damaged during selective demolition, by methods and with materials so as not to void existing warranties.

PART 2 – PRODUCTS

Not Used

PART 3 – EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION

Verify that utilities have been disconnected and capped.

Survey existing conditions and correlate with requirements indicated to determine extent of selective demolition required.

Inventory and record the condition of items to be removed and reinstalled and items to be removed and salvaged.

02 41 19 SELECTIVE DEMOLITION

When unanticipated mechanical, electrical, or structural elements that conflict with intended function or design are encountered, investigate and measure the nature and extent of conflict. Promptly submit a written report to Architect.

Perform surveys as the Work progresses to detect hazards resulting from selective demolition activities.

3.2 UTILITY SERVICES AND MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

Existing Services/Systems: Maintain services/systems indicated to remain and protect them against damage during selective demolition operations.

Service/System Requirements: Locate, identify, disconnect, and seal or cap off indicated utility services and mechanical/electrical systems serving areas to be selectively demolished.

Arrange to shut off indicated utilities with utility companies.

If services/systems are required to be removed, relocated, or abandoned, before proceeding with selective demolition, provide temporary services/systems that bypass area of selective demolition and that maintain continuity of services/systems to other parts of building.

Cut off pipe or conduit in walls or partitions to be removed. Cap, valve, or plug and seal remaining portion of pipe or conduit after bypassing.

a. Where entire wall is to be removed, existing services/systems may be removed with removal of the wall.

3.3 SELECTIVE DEMOLITION, GENERAL

General: Demolish and remove existing construction only to the extent required by new construction and as indicated. Use methods required to complete the Work within limitations of governing regulations and as follows:

Proceed with selective demolition systematically, from higher to lower level. Complete selective demolition operations above each floor or tier before disturbing supporting members on the next lower level.

Neatly cut openings and holes plumb, square, and true to dimensions required. Use cutting methods least likely to damage construction to remain or adjoining construction. Use hand tools or small power tools designed for sawing or grinding, not hammering and chopping, to minimize disturbance of adjacent surfaces. Temporarily cover openings to remain.

Cut or drill from the exposed or finished side into concealed surfaces to avoid marring existing finished surfaces.

Do not use cutting torches until work area is cleared of flammable materials. At concealed spaces, such as duct and pipe interiors, verify condition and contents of hidden space before starting flame-cutting operations. Maintain fire watch and portable fire-suppression devices during flame-cutting operations.

Maintain adequate ventilation when using cutting torches.

Remove decayed, vermin-infested, or otherwise dangerous or unsuitable materials and promptly dispose of off-site.

Remove structural framing members and lower to ground by method suitable to avoid free fall and to prevent ground impact or dust generation.

Locate selective demolition equipment and remove debris and materials so as not to impose excessive loads on supporting walls, floors, or framing.

Removed and Reinstalled Items:

SELECTIVE DEMOLITION 02 41 19

Clean and repair items to functional condition adequate for intended reuse. Paint equipment to match new equipment.

Pack or crate items after cleaning and repairing. Identify contents of containers.

Protect items from damage during transport and storage.

Reinstall items in locations indicated. Comply with installation requirements for new materials and equipment. Provide connections, supports, and miscellaneous materials necessary to make item functional for use indicated.

Existing Items to Remain: Protect construction indicated to remain against damage and soiling during selective demolition. When permitted by Architect, items may be removed to a suitable, protected storage location during selective demolition and reinstalled in their original locations after selective demolition operations are complete.

3.4 SELECTIVE DEMOLITION PROCEDURES FOR SPECIFIC MATERIALS

Concrete: Demolish in small sections. Cut concrete to a depth of at least 3/4 inch at junctures with construction to remain, using power-driven saw. Dislodge concrete from reinforcement at perimeter of areas being demolished, cut reinforcement, and then remove remainder of concrete indicated for selective demolition. Neatly trim openings to dimensions indicated.

Concrete Slabs-on-Grade: Saw-cut perimeter of area to be demolished, then break up and remove.

3.5 DISPOSAL OF DEMOLISHED MATERIALS

General: Except for items or materials indicated to be reused, salvaged, reinstalled, or otherwise indicated to remain Owner's property, remove demolished materials from Project site and legally dispose of them in an EPA-approved landfill.

Do not allow demolished materials to accumulate on-site.

Remove and transport debris in a manner that will prevent spillage on adjacent surfaces and areas.

Burning: Do not burn demolished materials.
