PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.01 GENERAL INSTALLATION PROVISIONS

PROJECT COORDINATION 01 04 00 - 5

A. Pre-Installation Conferences: Where preinstallation conferences are specified in technical sections, well in advance of installation meet at project site with installers and representatives of manufacturers and fabricators who are involved in or affected by unit of work, and its coordination or integration with other work which has preceded or will follow.

Advise the Government Representative of scheduled meeting dates. At each meeting review progress of other work and preparations for particular work under consideration, including requirements of contract documents, options, related change orders, purchases, deliveries, shop drawings, product data; quality control samples, possible conflicts, compatibility problems, time schedules, weather limitations, temporary facilities, space and access limitations, structural limitations, governing regulations, safety, inspection and testing requirements, required performance results, recording requirements, and protection.

The Contractor shall record significant discussions of each conference, record agreements and disagreements, along with the final plan of action.

Distribute record of meeting promptly, but no later than five (5) working days of initial meeting, to everyone concerned.

1. Do not proceed with the work if associated preinstallation conference cannot be concluded successfully. Instigate actions to resolve impediments to performance of the work, and reconvene conference at earliest date feasible.

B. Installer’s Inspection of Conditions: Require installer of each major unit of work to inspect substrate to receive work, and conditions under which work will be performed, and to report (in writing to the Contractor) unsatisfactory conditions. Do not proceed with the work until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected in a manner acceptable to the installer.

C. Manufacturer’s Instructions: Where installations include manufactured products, comply with manufacturer’s applicable instructions and recommendations for installation, to extent that these are more explicit or more stringent than requirements indicated in the contract documents.

D. Inspect each item of materials or equipment immediately prior to installation, and reject damaged and defective items.

E. Install work during conditions of temperature, humidity, exposure, forecasted weather, and status of project completion which will ensure best possible results for each unit of work, in coordination with entire work. Isolate each unit of work from non-compatible work, as required to prevent deterioration.

F. Coordinate enclosure (closing-in) of work with required inspections and test, so as to minimize necessity of uncovering work for that purpose.

G. Mounting Heights: Where mounting heights are not indicated, mount individual units of work at industry recognized standard mounting heights for applications indicated. Refer questionable mounting height choices to the Government Representative for final decision.

3.02 Cutting and patching

A. General: Do not cut-and-patch structural work in a manner resulting in reduction of load carrying capacity or load/deflection ratio; submit proposed cutting and patching to the Government Representative for structural approval before proceeding. Do not cut-and

PROJECT COORDINATION 01 04 00 - 6

Hanscom Air Force Base, MA patch operational elements and safety related components in a manner resulting in reduction of capacities to perform in a manner intended or resulting in decreased operation of life, increased maintenance, or decreased safety.

1. Engage original Fabricator/Installer to perform cutting-and-patching of structural work, operational/safety related components, and visually exposed work; or if not available, engage only recognize experts; employ only proven methods.

B. Materials: Except as otherwise indicated or approved by the Government Representative, provide materials for cutting-and-patching which will result in equal or better work than being cut-and-patched; in terms of performance characteristics and including visual effect where applicable. Use materials identical to original materials where feasible and where recognized that satisfactory results can be produced.

C. Temporary Support and Protection: Provide adequate temporary support for work to be cut, to prevent failure. Do not endanger other work. Provide adequate protection of other work during cutting and patching, to prevent damage; and provide protection of the work from adverse weather exposure.

D. Cut work by methods least likely to damage work to be retained and adjacent work.

E. Patch with methods which are durable and as invisible as possible. Comply with specified tolerances for the work.

F. Restore exposed finishes of patched areas; and, where necessary extend finish restoration onto retained work adjoining, in a manner which will eliminate evidence of patching. Where patch occurs in a painted surface, extend paint coats over entire unbroken surface containing patch.

3.03 CLEANING AND PROTECTION

A. General: During handling and installation of work at project site clean and protect work in progress and adjoining work on a basis of perpetual maintenance. Apply suitable protective covering on newly installed work where reasonably required to ensure prevention of damage or deterioration; otherwise, clean and perform maintenance on newly installed work as frequently as necessary through remainder of construction period. Adjust and lubricate operable components to ensure operability without damaging effects.

B. Limiting Exposures of Work: To extent possible through reasonable control and protection methods, supervise performance of work in a manner and by means which will ensure that none of the work, whether completed or in progress, will be subjected to harmful, dangerous, damaging, or otherwise deleterious exposures during construction period. Such exposures include (where applicable, but not by way of limitation) static loading, dynamic loading, humidity, air contamination or pollution, water, ice, solvents, chemicals, light, radiation, puncture, abrasion, heavy traffic, soiling, bacteria, insect infestation, combustion, electrical current, high speed operation, improper lubrication, unusual wear, misuse, incompatible interface, destructive testing, misalignment, excessive weathering, unprotected storage, improper shipping/handling, theft and vandalism.
