SECTION 01010 SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1- GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY:

A. The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, tools and equipment necessary for the successful prosecution and completion of the work. The project is to be bid as a single base bid with no options. The contractor should carefully review the construction documents (plans and specifications) in developing their bid. The work within this requirement will be performed in the Bishop White House located at 309 Walnut Street and the basement of 313 Walnut Street, both of which are interconnected.

1. The sprinkler system throughout the Bishop White House is to have a full inspection of all risers and branch lines to determine if any breaks, splits, or leaks are present in the piping. Following a successful inspection an inert gas leak test is to be performed with any deficiencies identified in the sprinkler system noted. Report on the condition of the sprinkler system in writing to the CO. Follow specifications outlined in section 210548 –

“Wet-Pipe Sprinkler Systems”. Document the conditions with photographs and show deficiencies on marked up plans. Following written report to the

CO and approval to move forward with work. For base scope proposal, the contractor shall assume 30 LF of copper sprinkler piping and 15 associated couplings. Once all identified deficiencies have been corrected and upon approval from the CO or their representative the sprinkler system is to be placed into service.

2. In any locations where the contractor removes the existing sprinkler pipe insulation as part of an inspection or corrective maintenance the contractor is to replace the insulation. There are other locations within the sprinkler system where the existing insulation is damaged or has been removed. In these locations the insulation is to be replaced as shown in the project drawings, approximately 60 LF.

3. In unconditioned spaces and on sprinkler risers at the Bishop White House there is an electric heat trace system present that has been placed in and out of service since it was installed in 2021. The contractor is to perform a full inspection and test verification on the heat trace system. The results of this test are to be provided to the CO along with any deficiencies identified. Once the written report is approved by the CO, contractor shall complete heat trace repairs, assuming 30 LF of heat trace replacement and associated electrical work. Once all identified deficiencies have been corrected the heat trace system is to be placed into service with notification provided to the CO.

4. Interior spaces within the Bishop White House were damaged from a prior leak in the sprinkler system. In spaces on the first, second, and third floor with water damage on the walls and ceilings are to be repaired and refinished in accordance with section 09910 – “Historic Treatment of Plain

Painting”, section 090320 – “Historic Treatment of Plaster”, and as shown on the project drawings. These repairs include wall cleaning and trim repainting (750 SF), removal and replacement of veneer coats (750 SF), sanding (750 SF), painting (750 SF), lath stabilization (250 SF) and replacement of 3 coat plaster systems (250 SF). The contractor is to coordinate this repair with the fire suppression system work so that there is full access to any deficient portions of the sprinkler system.

B. The primary goal of this project is to repair and certify that the sprinkler system can be placed into service without any leaks, allowing the building to be reopened to the public. The current condition of certain interior rooms’ paint and plaster prevents this reopening from taking place and also must be remediated. The heat trace must be confirmed to be fully functional to prevent future splits in the sprinkler piping during freeze protection season.

C. All work will be performed under a single contract.

D. The contractor shall submit phasing schedule for each discipline for review and approval by Contracting Officer prior to a Notice to Proceed.

1. Storage and protection of existing historic materials.

2. Temporary protection of historic materials during construction.

3. Protection during application of chemicals.

4. Protection during use of heat-generating equipment.

5. Historic preservation treatment procedures.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. "Preservation": To apply measures necessary to sustain the existing form, integrity, and materials of a historic property. Work may include preliminary measures to protect and stabilize the property.

B. "Rehabilitation": To make possible a compatible use for a property through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features that convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values.

C. "Restoration": To accurately return the form, features, and character of a property to its appearance at a particular period of time by means of the removal of features from other periods in its history and the repair and reconstruction of missing and deteriorated features from the restoration period.

D. "Reconstruction": To reproduce in the exact form and detail a building, structure, or artifact as it appeared at a specific period in time. Reconstructed elements do not possess historic integrity in their own right since it is not original fabric.

E. "Stabilize": To apply measures designed to reestablish a weather-resistant enclosure and the structural reinforcement of an item or portion of the building while maintaining the essential form as it exists at present. This level of intervention is aimed at retarding or arresting adverse impacts to structures.

F. "Protect and Maintain": To remove deteriorating corrosion, reapply protective coatings, and install protective measures such as temporary guards; to provide the least degree of intervention.

G. "Repair": To stabilize, consolidate, or conserve; to retain existing materials and features while employing as little new material as possible. Repair includes patching, piecing-in, splicing, consolidating, or otherwise reinforcing or upgrading materials. Within restoration, repair also includes limited replacement in kind, rehabilitation, and reconstruction, with compatible substitute materials for deteriorated or missing parts of features when there are surviving prototypes.

H. "Replace": To duplicate in its entirety a historic element or feature by matching its historic pattern, detail and appearance. Replacement is justified when original or historic elements are damaged beyond repair or are missing.

Replacement methods include the following conditions:

1. Replacement with Original or Historic Fabric: Includes fabric salvaged from other locations or projects having identical architectural qualities.

It means duplication of appearance using identical material possessing historical significance.

2. Replacement with New Materials: Includes replacement with new material of like kind (custom fabricated of manufactured) that is currently in production. It means duplication of appearance using like material.

3. Replacement with Substitute Materials: Includes replacement with a compatible substitute that is frequently contemporary and unlike the historic fabric. It means duplication of appearance using modern (non-traditional) material. Use of substitute materials is not approved unless matching materials are not available.

I. "Remove": To demolish or detach items from existing construction and legally dispose of them off-site unless indicated to be removed and salvaged or removed and reinstalled.

J. "Remove and Salvage": To detach items from existing construction and deliver them to the NPS ready for reuse.

K. "Remove and Reinstall": To detach items from existing construction, repair and prepare them for reuse, and reinstall them where indicated.

L. "Existing to Remain" or "Retain": Existing items of construction that are not to be removed and that are not otherwise indicated to be removed and salvaged, or removed and reinstalled.

M. "Material in Kind": Material that closely matches existing materials, through comparison of architectural qualities and salient characteristic such as species, cut, color, grain, dimension, profile, thickness, and finish.

N. “Hot Work”: Any work that involves burning, welding, using fire- or spark-producing tools, or that produces a source of ignition.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

A. Alternative Methods and Materials: If alternative methods and materials to those indicated are proposed for any phase of work, provide a written description including evidence of successful use on other, comparable projects, and program of testing to demonstrate effectiveness for use on this

Project.

B. Pre-construction Photographs or Videotape: Prior to starting any work or mobilizing on to the site, show existing conditions of adjoining construction and site improvements, including finish surfaces that might be misconstrued as damage caused by historic treatment operations.
