About this file
This is a construction specifications document for the Sioux Falls Courthouse IRA Window Replacement project at 400 South Phillips Ave, Sioux Falls, SD. The project involves replacing aluminum windows installed in the 1970s with new aluminum and glass windows that address enhanced energy efficiency and physical security needs in the historic Federal courthouse building.
The specifications detail requirements for window replacement in an occupied courthouse, including protection of existing interior finishes, tuck pointing of mortar joints hidden by existing metal window trim, removal/cleaning/reinstallation of window treatments, and documentation of individual openings. The building is stone clad (local quartzite) with inner wythes of brick and clay tile behind the stone veneer. Critical requirements include preserving existing historic wood window frames where possible, coordinating work around court schedules, performing disruptive work during unoccupied hours, and maintaining building security and operations throughout construction. The specifications include detailed sections on project management, scheduling, coordination, payment procedures, and requirements for submitting baseline and updated CPM schedules. The project requires close coordination with GSA, US Courts, and building occupants.

SUMMARY 011000 - 1
SECTION 011000 – SUMMARY
PART 1 - GENERAL
1.1 PROJECT INFORMATION
A. Project Name and Location: Sioux Falls Window Replacement 400 South Phillips Ave, Sioux Falls, SD
B. Project Summary Description: This is a window replacement project at the historic Federal Sioux Falls Courthouse in Sioux Falls, SD. The building is a stone clad (local quartzite), concrete and steel framed building. The original building was added onto twice and there have been a variety of remodeling projects over the life of the structure. Built between the 1910's and the early 1930's, the building’s exterior wall features inner wythes of brick and clay tile lath behind the stone veneer and painted plaster or drywall interior finishes, featuring extensive historic wood trim.
The original wood windows were partially removed in the 1970's when a more modern aluminum and glass window system was installed. The current project is to replace these aluminum windows with aluminum and glass windows that address enhanced energy efficiency and physical security needs. The existing original wood window frame is suspected to exist in many if not most of the openings. It would have been a priority to preserve as much of this original historic fabric as possible during the 1970’s window project. It continues to be important to preserve the existing historic material as much as possible. Note some removal of the existing frame will be required to achieve adequate anchorage of the windows to the exterior wall of the building.
Protection of the existing interior finishes is of high priority and damage to these finishes during construction shall be restored to pre-construction condition.
Window replacement will have to occur, coordinating with a fully occupied and operational courthouse.
Additionally, the interior finishes will need to be protected from construction activity and resultant damage repaired in kind. Mortar joints hidden by existing metal window trim and associated sealants are to be tuck pointed. Existing window treatments are to be removed, cleaned, and stored and reinstalled.
Contractor will document individual openings and make adjustments to trim dimensions as needed.
C. Architect: The term Architect refers to the project designer. The Architect's status relative to the construction will be stated in writing by the Contracting Officer prior to the pre-construction conference. The project was designed by: SmithGroup Inc. 500 Griswold Street, Suite 1700, Detroit, Michigan 48226.
D. Project Delivery Method: Design/Bid/Build.
E. Type of Contract: Project will be constructed under a single prime contract.
F. The Contracting Officer for the project is: John Kelley - john.kelley@gsa.gov - (720) 292-8507.

2. Coordination drawings.
3. Conservation.
4. Administrative and supervisory personnel.
5. Conferences and meetings.
1.2 GENERAL PROJECT COORDINATION
A. Coordination of Trades: Coordinate construction operations included in the various sections of the Specifications to provide an efficient and orderly installation of each part of the Work. Coordinate construction operations included under different sections of the Specifications that depend on each other for proper installation, connection or operation. Keep pipes, ducts, conduit, and the like as close as possible to ceiling slab, walls, and columns to take up a minimum amount of space. Locate pipes, ducts, and equipment so that they do not interfere with the intended use of eye bolts and other lifting devices. Assure all controls can be reached and operated.
1. Schedule construction operations in the sequence required to obtain the best results where the installation of one part of the Work depends on installation of other components before or after that part.
2. Coordinate installation of different components to provide maximum accessibility for required maintenance, service, testing and repair.
3. Minimize roof penetrations.
B. Notification: Prepare and distribute memoranda to each party involved, outlining special procedures required for coordination. Include notices, reports and meeting minutes as part of the memoranda.
C. Administrative Procedures: Coordinate scheduling and timing of administrative procedures with other construction activities to avoid conflicts and promote orderly progress of the Work. Administrative procedures include but are not limited to the following:
1. Preparation of schedules.
2. Installation and removal of temporary facilities.
3. Security packages and systems by others (i.e. U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), Federal Protective Service (FPS), tenants, etc.)
4. Audio Visual (AV) and technology requirements and packages for tenants and/or end users.
5. Telecommunication, data, internet and other tele-work systems for GSA, tenants and/or end users.
6. Delivery and processing of submittals.
