13) Special Construction Notes:

• Lights & Recessed Lighting: Several soffits have recessed lighting, some of which will be replaced with new lights in same location and others will be completely removed and locations covered by new siding. See notes below for more detail. Contractor will be responsible for removing large halogen light over North Back Door that is on exterior siding (as per 1st photo in Attachment G, page 45) and disposing of properly.

• The two in the front (North Side – North Front Door & North Front Window) will retain their fixtures in exact same places in new siding.

• The recessed lighting on the rear (south side) of the building (South1, South2, South3) will need to have their lighting removed and not reinstalled.

• The South Walkway (rear of building) currently has four lights recessed into soffit. Only one light will remain, the one in the end of the walkway closest to shelter/back door of Auditorium and be reinstalled in exact same place.

• Along the western side of building (next to loading dock), the two lights atop the stairs over the two back glass doors will be reinstalled in new siding in exact same place. The three over the stairwell (closest to rear (South) of building) will not be reinstalled. The one atop the stairwell and above the landing by back doors will be moved slightly. See Attachment G, page 45, for photo of old location and proposed new location for light. If understructure precludes moving light to park desired location, contractor will make CO and park aware, and an alternative location will be determined on site.

• Contractor will be responsible for providing specs/photos of new light fixtures in proper submittal procedure for Approval prior to full purchase/installation. The park requires fixtures to match previous fixtures (currently 8 ¼” diameter and 7” deep) and use energy efficient light bulbs. For sites where lights are completely removed, the contractor will have those wires properly disconnected and terminated.

• Other Electrical Concerns – Two security cameras and air monitor near employee entrance/back door (North Back Door Soffit) will be temporarily removed during siding installation and replaced in good working order in exact same places.

• Gutters notes – Three runs of commercial-grade gutters to be installed along southern (rear) of building.

Gutters will match the run along South Walkway (above rear viewing platform overlooking river) except to add a gutter guard for each three runs. Gutters will be aluminum K Style, Dark Brown, and 6” wide. The

P a g e | 8 gutters approximate lengths are listed below. The downspouts will match the style of the Southern Walkway downspout – Dark Brown, aluminum, 4” wide and short with length to not go below bottom of siding for each section. See Attachment G for gutter photo of South Walkway for example. New downspouts will bend away from building, not extend beneath siding and end no farther than 12” from building (shooting water away from building/siding and not obstructing view). Gutters will run east to west, and downspouts will be on western ends.

• South1 Approximately 21’4” long

• South2 Approximately 11’ long

• South3 Approximately 13’ long

• Four runs of existing gutters and downspouts will be removed and replaced with new gutter/downspouts with same materials to match other existing and the items in previous bullet. Below are the four locations and approximate measurements:

• North Front Door – Gutter 11’ Downspout 15’

• North Front Window – Gutter 12’ Downspout 12’

• West Stairwell – Gutter 42’ Downspout 30’

• South Walkway – Gutter 42’ Downspout 3’’

• Loading Dock Storage Shed – Park is replacing doors on Shed. Contractor is not responsible for doors to Shed. Park is pursuing a garage door opener system for Shed and contractor will be solely responsible for replacing exterior walls of Shed. Contractor should measure building without doors in their estimate. At time of Notice to Proceed, CO/Park will make contractor aware of garage door status.

• Seven soffits have 2” wide vents that will need full replacement in kind.

• The contractor’s warranty with respect to work repaired or replaced will run for one year from the date of repair or replacement.
