About this file

This is Addendum No. 3, dated March 1, 2023, for a new multi-purpose facility at Heard County High School in Franklin, Georgia. The addendum modifies specifications across multiple divisions of work, including masonry, concrete, glazing, metal roofing, metal building systems, and reinforced soil slope structures. Key changes include the addition of Section 047200 for Cast Stone Masonry as a new specification, modifications to exterior slab-on-grade concrete strength requirements (changed to 4,000 psi at 28 days), updates to metal roof insulation specifications with R-30 rigid insulation and ice and water shield requirements, clarifications on brick unit costs at $850 per thousand for material only, and modifications to site demolition, grading, and drainage plans. The addendum also clarifies that reinforced soil slope backfill materials and associated importing costs are part of the Base Bid and will not be paid from allowances or unit prices.

The Cast Stone Masonry specification section establishes comprehensive requirements for cast stone unit procurement, materials, fabrication, and installation. Cast stone manufacturers must be located within 150 miles of the project and comply with ASTM C 1364 standards using the vibrant dry tamp method. Materials specifications detail requirements for Portland cement (ASTM C 150, Type I), coarse and fine aggregates, color pigments, and reinforcement, with specific provisions for mortar mixes using Type S for setting and Type N for pointing. Installation requirements mandate setting units in full mortar beds with 1/4 to 3/8 inch joints, proper raking and pointing procedures, and final cleaning using proprietary acidic cleaners approved by the cast stone manufacturer, with tolerances for plumb and level not exceeding 1/8 inch in 10 feet.
