B. Survey existing conditions and correlate with requirements indicated to determine extent of selective demolition required.
C. When unanticipated mechanical, electrical, or structural elements that conflict with intended function or design are encountered, investigate, and measure the nature and extent of conflict. Promptly submit a written report to CO.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Site Access and Temporary Controls: Conduct selective demolition and debris-removal operations to ensure minimum interference with roads, streets, walks, walkways, and other adjacent occupied and used facilities.
1. Do not close or obstruct roads, without permission from CO. 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 covered passageways, where required by authorities having jurisdiction.
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.
C. Temporary Enclosures: Provide temporary enclosures for protection of existing building and construction, in progress and completed, from exposure, foul weather, other construction operations, and similar activities. Provide temporary weathertight enclosure for building exterior.
3.3 POLLUTION CONTROLS
A. Dust Control: Use temporary enclosures, and other suitable methods to limit spread of dust and dirt. Comply with governing environmental-protection regulations.
SELECTIVE DEMOLITION 017320-5
B. Disposal: Remove and transport debris in a manner that will prevent spillage on adjacent surfaces and areas.
1. Remove debris from elevated portions of building by chute, hoist, or other device that will convey debris to grade level in a controlled descent.
C. 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.
D. REMOVAL AND CLEANUP OF RODENT DROPPINGS
1. The best way to prevent exposure to health risks from bird or bat droppings is to avoid situations where material that might be contaminated can become aerosolized and subsequently inhaled. Therefore, work practices and dust control measures that eliminate or reduce dust generation during the removal of bat or bird manure from a building will also reduce health risks. For example, before shoveling or sweeping dry, dusty material, it should be misted with a low-pressure water spray to reduce the amount of dust aerosolized during the activity. Liquid detergent can be added to the water as a wetting agent. Once the material is wetted, it can be collected in double, heavy-duty plastic bags, a 55-gallon drum, or some other secure container for immediate disposal. An alternative method is to use an industrial vacuum cleaner with a high-efficiency (HEPA) filter to bag contaminated material. Truck-mounted or trailer-mounted vacuum systems are recommended for buildings with large accumulations of bat or bird manure. This advantage eliminates the risk of dust exposure that can happen when bags tear accidentally, or containers break during their transfer to the ground.
2. Air sampling, surface sampling, or the use of any other method intended to confirm that no infectious agents remain following removal of bat, rodent, or bird manure is unnecessary but recommended in most cases. However, before a removal activity is considered finished, the cleaned area should be visually inspected to ensure that no residual dust or debris remains.
3. If there is a small accumulation of droppings from a few birds, mice, or bats, it can be cleaned up with soap and water. If large quantities of bird or bat droppings are present, contact EH&S or an environmental engineering consultant for advice.
4. Workers should follow certain precautions to minimize risk from disease organisms during clean-up of bird, bat or rodent droppings and removal of small numbers of bird, squirrel, and rodent carcasses:
5. If possible, schedule the removal for weekends or other periods of minimum building use.
6. Only authorized cleanup personnel should be present.
7. The cleanup should be conducted by healthy individuals with no allergies to dust or, rodents, or birds.
8. No smoking, eating, or drinking is allowed in the work area.
9. During the cleanup, seal heating and cooling air vents and shut the system down if possible.
SELECTIVE DEMOLITION 017320-6
10. Wear an appropriate NIOSH-approved respirator that can filter particles as small as 0.3 microns; personnel must be medically cleared and fit-tested in order to wear respiratory protection.
11. Wear disposable protective gloves, eye protection, hat, coveralls and boots.
12. Moisten the droppings with a light mist of water to keep dust and spores from becoming airborne.
13. Put droppings into doubled plastic garbage bags, seal the bags, and place them in a dumpster for disposal as normal trash.
14. Use a 10% bleach solution to disinfect the area after the droppings have been removed.
15. When finished and while still wearing a respirator, remove protective clothing and place it in a plastic bag; dispose of the bag as normal trash.
16. Modify the structure to prevent birds or bats from re-establishing the roost.
The contractor must coordinate with the CO, COR, Forest Service Biologists, and Forest Service Engineers to confirm there is no bat presence prior to mitigation treatment.
3.4 SELECTIVE 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 within limitations of governing regulations.
1. Neatly cut openings and holes plumb, square, and true to dimensions required. Use cutting methods least likely to damage or obstruct active construction 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.
B. Removed and Reinstalled Items:
1. Clean and repair items to functional condition adequate for intended reuse. Paint equipment to match new equipment.
2. Pack or crate items after cleaning and repairing. Identify contents of containers.
3. Protect items from damage during transport and storage.
4. Reinstall items in locations indicated. Comply with installation requirements for new materials and equipment. Provide connections, supports, and miscellaneous materials necessary to make item functional for use indicated.
C. Existing Items to Remain: Protect construction indicated to remain against damage and soiling during selective demolition. When permitted by CO, items may be removed to a
SELECTIVE DEMOLITION 017320-7
suitable, protected storage location during selective demolition, cleaned, and reinstalled in their original locations after selective demolition operations are complete.
3.5 PATCHING AND REPAIRS
A. General: Promptly repair damage to adjacent construction caused by selective demolition operations.
B. 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 remain with an approved masonry patching material applied according to manufacturer's written recommendations.
C. Finishes: Restore exposed finishes of patched areas and extend restoration into adjoining construction in a manner that eliminates evidence of patching and refinishing.
D. Floors and Walls: Where walls or partitions that are demolished extend one finished area into another, patch and repair floor and wall surfaces in the new space. Provide an even surface of uniform finish color, texture, and appearance. Remove existing floor and wall coverings and replace with new materials, if necessary, to achieve uniform color and appearance.
E. Ceilings: Patch and repair existing ceilings as necessary to provide an even-plane surface of uniform appearance.
