PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 INSTALLATION

A. Use qualified personnel for installation of temporary facilities.

B. TEMPORARY SUPPORT FACILITIES

C. Temporary Lifts and Hoists: Provide protection of facilities and personnel for hoisting materials.

D. Existing Elevator Use: Use of GSA's existing passenger elevators will not be permitted unless approved by the GSA Building Manager. Use of GSA’s existing freight elevator is permitted by the GSA Building Manager If allowed, elevators must be protected, cleaned and maintained in a condition acceptable to GSA. At Substantial Completion, restore elevators to conditions existing before initial use, including replacing worn cables, guide shoes, and similar items of limited life.

1. Do not load elevators beyond their rated weight capacity.

2. Provide protective coverings, barriers, devices, signs, or other procedures to protect elevator cars and entrance doors and frames. If, despite such protection, elevators become damaged, engage elevator Installer to restore damaged work so no evidence remains of correction work.

Return items that cannot be refinished in the field to the shop, make required repairs and refinish the entire unit, or provide new units as required.

3. If required by local jurisdiction or union, provide temporary phones for elevators. Coordinate with Elevator maintenance contractor and GSA Building Manager.
