About this file
This is a technical specification section for a cast bronze dedicatory building plaque required for the Dell Medical Center at Austin, Texas Enabling Central Utility Plant and Infrastructure project at the University of Texas at Austin. The project calls for the fabrication and installation of one cast bronze plaque (with cast aluminum as an approved alternative) measuring 36 inches wide by 24 inches high. The plaque shall be manufactured to specifications including a raised border in satin/brushed finish, "Seneca" style lettering in satin/brushed finish, and a leatherette background finish in oxidized-dark bronze or black. The specification accommodates approximately 60 large characters and 375 small characters to display the building name, year of notice to proceed, names of the Board of Regents, architect, and prime contractor. Contractors must submit four copies of full-size shop drawings directly to the Owner's Facilities Planning and Construction (OFPC) for approval prior to casting, with two approved copies returned for reference.
The plaque material specifications require virgin ingot bronze alloy (85-5-5-5 Standard U.S. composition) or aluminum alloy 356.1, with castings free of pits and gas holes and all letters hand-tooled and sharp. The product shall be chemically cleaned, etched, treated with Alodine, and sprayed with two coats of clear acrylic lacquer. The specification references The Southwell Company of San Antonio, Texas as the preferred manufacturer or an approved equal. Installation requirements mandate that the plaque be installed plumb, level, and square using concealed fastening devices within an enclosed, dry building. The specification was originally issued on September 1, 2007, with revisions made on October 6, 2016, to clarify terminology and add student regent and project advocate name spacing requirements.
