PART 2 – PRODUCTS

2.

2.1 REPAIR MATERIALS

A. Use repair materials identical to existing materials.

1. If identical materials are unavailable or cannot be used for exposed surfaces, use materials that visually match existing adjacent surfaces to the fullest extent pos-sible.

2. Use materials whose installed performance equals or surpasses that of existing materials.

PART 3 – EXECUTION

3.

3.1 EXAMINATION

A. Survey existing conditions and correlate with requirements indicated to determine ex-tent of selective demolition required.

B. Examine surfaces to be cut and patched and conditions under which cutting and patch-ing are to be performed.

1. Compatibility: Before patching, verify compatibility with and suitability of sub-strates, including compatibility with existing finishes or primers.

2. Proceed with installation only after unsafe or unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

3.2 PREPARATION

A. Site Access and Temporary Controls: Conduct selective demolition and debris-removal operations to ensure minimum interference with roads, streets, walks, walk-ways, and other adjacent occupied and used facilities.

1. Do not close or obstruct streets, walks, walkways, or other adjacent occupied or used facilities without permission from CO and authorities having jurisdiction.

DINING/CAREER PREP HVAC MODIFICATIONS 024119 - 3

Provide alternate routes around closed or obstructed traffic ways if required by governing regulations.

2. Erect temporary protection, such as walks, fences, railings, canopies, and cov-ered passageways, where required.

3. Protect existing site improvements, appurtenances, and landscaping to remain.

B. Temporary Facilities: Provide temporary barricades and other protection required to prevent injury to people and damage to adjacent buildings and facilities to remain.

3.3 POLLUTION CONTROLS

A. Disposal: Remove and transport debris in a manner that will prevent spillage on adja-cent surfaces and areas.

B. Cleaning: Clean adjacent structures and improvements of dust, dirt, and debris caused by selective demolition operations. Return adjacent areas to condition existing before selective demolition operations began.

3.4 DEMOLITION

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

1. 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.

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

3. 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 portable fire-suppression devices during flame-cutting operations.

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

5. Dispose of Demolished items and materials promptly.

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

3.5 CUTTING, PATCHING, AND REPAIRS

A. General:

DINING/CAREER PREP HVAC MODIFICATIONS 024119 - 4

1. Promptly repair damage to adjacent construction caused by selective demolition operations.

2. Employ skilled workers to perform cutting, patching, and repairs.

B. Protection: Protect existing construction during cutting, patching, and repairs to pre-vent damage. Provide protection from adverse weather conditions for portions of pro-ject that might be exposed during cutting, patching, and repair operations.

C. Adjoining Areas: Avoid interference with use of adjoining areas or interruption of free passage to adjoining areas.

D. Existing Services: Where existing services are required to be removed, relocated, or abandoned, bypass such services before cutting to minimize interruption of services to occupied areas.

E. Cutting: Cut existing construction by sawing, drilling, breaking, chipping, grinding, and similar operations, using methods least likely to damage elements retained or ad-joining construction.

1. Provide temporary support of work to be cut.

2. In general, use hand or small power tools designed for sawing and grinding, not hammering and chopping. Cut holes and slots as small as possible, neatly to size required, and with minimum disturbance of adjacent surfaces. Temporarily cover openings when not in use.

3. Existing Finished Surfaces: Cut or drill from the exposed or finished side into concealed surfaces.

4. Proceed with patching after construction operations requiring cutting or repairs are complete.

F. Patching: Patch construction by filling, repairing, refinishing, closing up, and similar operations following performance of other Work. Patch with durable seams that are as invisible as possible. Provide materials and comply with installation requirements specified in other Sections of these Specifications.

G. Repairs: Where repairs to existing surfaces are required, patch to produce surfaces suitable for new materials.

1. Completely fill holes and depressions in existing masonry walls that are to re-main with an approved masonry patching material applied according to manu-facturer's written recommendations.

H. Finishes: Restore exposed finishes of patched areas and extend restoration into ad-joining construction in a manner that eliminates evidence of patching and refinishing.

3.6 DISPOSAL OF DEMOLISHED MATERIALS

A. General: Promptly dispose of demolished materials. Do not allow demolished mate-rials to accumulate on-site.

DINING/CAREER PREP HVAC MODIFICATIONS 024119 - 5

B. Burning: Do not burn demolished materials.

C. Disposal: Transport demolished materials off Government property and legally dis-poses of them.
