PART 2 EXECUTION

2.1 CUTTING AND PATCHING

A. RELATED DOCUMENTS

1. Drawings and General Provisions of Contract, including but not limited to, General and

Supplementary Conditions and other Division 1, Specification Sections, apply to work of this Section.

B. DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1. Definitions: “Cutting and Patching” includes cutting into existing construction to provide for the installation or performance of other Work and subsequent fitting and patching required to restore surfaces to their original conditions.

2. “Cutting and Patching” is performed for coordination of the Work, to uncover work for access or inspection, to obtain samples for testing, to permit alternations to be performed, or for other similar purposes.

3. Cutting and Patching performed during the manufacture of products, or during the initial fabrication, erection or installation processes is not considered to the “Cutting and

Patching” under this definition. Drilling of holes to install fasteners and similar operations are also not considered to be “Cutting and Patching”.

C. QUALITY ASSURANCE

1. Requirements for Structural Work: Do not cut and patch structural work without prior approval of a structural engineer.

2. Operational and Safety Limitations: Do not cut and patch operational elements or safety related components in a manner that would result in a reduction of their capacity to perform in the manner intended, including energy performance, or that would result in increased maintenance, or decreased operational life or decreased safety.

D. SUBMITTALS

1. Procedural Proposal for Cutting and Patching: Where prior approval of cutting and patching is required, submit proposed procedures for this work well in advance of the time work will be performed and request approval to proceed. Include the following information, as applicable, in the submittal.

2. List products to be used and firms that will perform work.

3. Give dates when work is expected to be performed.

4. List utilities that will be disturbed or otherwise be affected by work, including those that will be relocated and those that will be out-of-service temporarily. Indicate how long utility service will be disrupted.

5. Approval by the Design Consultant or Project Management Firm to proceed with cutting and patching work does not waive the Design Consultant’s or Project Management Firm’s right to later require complete removal and replacement of work found to be cut and patched in an unsatisfactory manner.

E. MATERIALS

1. General: Except as otherwise indicated, or as directed by the Design Consultant or Project

Management Firm, use materials for cutting and patching that are identical to existing materials. If identical materials are not available, or cannot be used, use materials that fully match existing adjacent surfaces possible with regard to visual effect. Use materials for cutting and patching that will result in equal-or-better performance characteristics.

01 30 00 - 4

F. INSPECTION

1. Before cutting, examine the surface to be cut and patched and the conditions under which the work is to be performed. If unsafe or otherwise unsatisfactory conditions are encountered notify Project Management Firm immediately. Execute cutting (including excavation) fitting or patching of work required to: make several parts fit properly; uncover work to provide for installation or ill-timed work; remove and replace defective work;

remove and replace work not conforming to requirements of Contract Documents.

G. PREPARATION

1. Temporary Support: To prevent failure provide temporary support of work to be cut.

2. Protection: Protect other work during cutting and patching to prevent damage. Provide protection from adverse weather conditions for that part of the project that may be exposed during cutting and patching operations.

H. PERFORMANCE

1. General: Except as otherwise indicated or as approved by the Design Consultant or Project

Management Firm, proceed with cutting and patching at the earliest feasible time and complete work without delay.

2. Cutting: Cut the work using methods that are least likely to damage work to be retained or adjoining work. Where possible review proposed procedures with the original installer;

comply with original installer’s recommendations.

3. In general, where cutting is required use hand or small power tools designed for sawing or grinding, not hammering and chopping. Cut through concrete and masonry using a cutting machine such as a carborundum saw or core drill to insure a neat hole. Cut holes and slots neatly to size required with minimum disturbance of adjacent work. To avoid marring existing finished surfaces, cut or drill from exposed or finished side into concealed surfaces. Temporarily cover openings when not in use.

4. Comply with requirements of applicable Sections of Division 2 where cutting and patching require excavating and backfilling.

5. Patching: Patch with seams which are durable and as invisible as possible. Comply with specified tolerances for the work.

6. Where feasible, inspect and test patched areas to demonstrate integrity of work.

7. Restore exposed finishes of patched areas and where necessary extend finish restoration into retained adjoining work in a manner which will eliminate evidence of patching and refinishing.

8. Where removal of walls or partitions extends one finished area into another finished area, patch and repair floor and wall surfaces in the new space to provide an even surface of uniform color and appearance, remove existing floor and wall coverings and replace with new materials.

9. Where patch occurs in a smooth painted surface, extend final paint coat over entire unbroken surface containing patch, after patched area has received prime and base coat.

I. CLEANING

1. Thoroughly clean areas and spaces where work is performed or used as access to work.

Remove completely, point mortar, oils, putty, and items of similar nature. Thoroughly clean piping, conduit, and similar features before painting or other finishing is applied.

Restore damaged pipe covering to its original condition

2.2 SPECIAL PROCEDURES

A. Materials: As specified in product sections; match existing with new products for patching and extending work.

B. Employ skilled and experienced installer to perform alteration work.

C. Cut, move, or remove items as necessary for access to alterations and renovation Work. Replace and restore at completion.

01 30 00 - 5

D. Remove unsuitable material not marked for salvage, including rotted wood, corroded metals, and deteriorated masonry and concrete. Replace materials as specified for finished Work.

E. Remove debris and abandoned items from area and from concealed spaces.

F. Prepare surface and remove surface finishes to permit installation of new work and finishes.

G. Close openings in exterior surfaces to protect existing work from weather and extremes of temperature and humidity.

H. Remove, cut, and patch Work in manner to minimize damage and to permit restoring products and finishes to original condition.

I. Refinish existing visible surfaces to remain in renovated rooms and spaces, to renewed condition for each material, with neat transition to adjacent finishes. Coordinate with construction documents.

J. Where new Work abuts or aligns with existing, provide smooth and even transition. Patch Work to match existing adjacent Work in texture and appearance.

K. When finished surfaces are cut so that smooth transition with new Work is not possible, terminate existing surface along straight line at natural line of division and submit recommendation to

Architect/Engineer for review.

L. Where change of plane of 1/4 inch or more occurs, request instructions from Architect/Engineer.

M. Trim existing doors to clear new floor finish. Refinish trim to original condition. Coordinate with construction documents.

N. Patch or replace portions of existing surfaces which are damaged, lifted, discolored, or showing other imperfections.

O. Finish surfaces as specified in individual product sections and indicated on the drawings.
