Provide labor, materials, and equipment necessary to install selective demolition as noted on drawings and specified herein.

1.2 SUMMARY

1.2.1 This Section includes the following:

a. Demolition and removal of selected portions of existing exterior stucco and structural concrete components of the All Purpose Building structure.

1.3 DEFINITIONS

Remove: Remove and legally dispose of items except those indicated to be reinstalled, salvaged, or to remain.

Existing to Remain: Protect construction indicated to remain against damage and soiling during selective demolition. When permitted by the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative, items may be removed to a suitable, protected storage location during selective demolition and then cleaned and reinstalled in their original locations.

1.4 DISPOSITION OF MATERIALS

Except for items or materials indicated to be reused, reinstalled, or otherwise indicated to remain the Government's property, demolished materials shall become the Contractor's property and shall be removed from the site with further disposition at the Contractor's option.

1.5 QUALITY ASSURANCE

Regulatory Requirements: Comply with governing EPA notification regulations before starting selective demolition. Comply with hauling and disposal regulations of authorities having jurisdiction.

1.6 PROJECT CONDITIONS

Storage or sale of removed items or materials on-site will not be permitted.

2.1 REPAIR MATERIALS

Use repair materials identical to existing materials.

a. Where identical materials are unavailable or cannot be used for exposed surfaces, use materials that visually match existing adjacent surfaces.

b. Use materials whose installed performance equal or surpass that of existing materials.

3.1 EXAMINATION

3.1.1 Surveying Existing Conditions

Survey existing conditions and correlate with requirements indicated to determine extent of selective demolition required.

3.1.2 Unanticipated Elements

When unanticipated mechanical, electrical, or structural elements that conflict with the intended function or design are encountered, investigate and measure the nature and extent of the conflict.

Promptly submit a written report to the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative.

3.1.3 Surveying Existing Conditions

Survey the condition of the existing bulkhead and adjacent structures to determine whether removing any element might result in structural deficiency or unplanned collapse of any portion of the structure or adjacent structures during selective demolition.

Perform surveys as the Work progresses to detect hazards resulting from selective demolition activities.

3.2 PREPARATION

3.2.1 Interference

Conduct demolition operations and remove debris to ensure minimum interference with roads, streets, walks, and adjacent occupied and used facilities.

a. Do not close or obstruct adjacent occupied or used facilities without permission from COTR.

Provide alternate routes around closed or obstructed traffic ways.

3.2.2 Injury

Conduct demolition operations to prevent injury to people and damage to adjacent buildings and facilities to remain. Ensure safe passage of people around selective demolition area.

a. Protect all structural and utility items that are to remain and are exposed during selective demolition operations.

3.2.3 Stability

Provide and maintain interior and exterior shoring, bracing or structural support to preserve stability and prevent movement, settlement, or collapse of adjacent structures.

a. Strengthen or add new supports when required during progress of selective demolition.

3.3 POLLUTION CONTROLS

3.3.1 Dust and Dirt

Use temporary enclosures and other suitable methods to limit the spread of dust and dirt. Comply with governing environmental protection regulations.

3.3.2 Transport Debris

Remove and transport debris in a manner that will prevent spillage on adjacent surfaces and areas.

3.3.3 Adjacent Structures

Clean adjacent structures and improvements of dust, dirt, and debris caused by selective demolition operations. Return adjacent areas to condition existing before start of selective demolition.

3.4 SELECTIVE DEMOLITION

3.4.1 Existing Construction

Demolish and remove existing construction only to the extent required by new construction and as indicated on drawings. Use methods required to complete Work within limitations of governing regulations and as follows:

a. Dispose of demolished items and materials promptly. On-site storage or sale of removed items is prohibited.

b. Return elements of construction and surfaces to remain to condition existing before start of selective demolition operations.

3.5 PATCHING AND REPAIRS

Promptly patch and repair holes and damaged surfaces caused to adjacent construction by selective

Where repairs to existing surfaces are required, patch to produce surfaces suitable for new materials.

Restore exposed finishes of patched areas and extend finish restoration into adjoining construction to remain in a manner that eliminates evidence of patching and refinishing.

3.6 DISPOSAL OF DEMOLISHED MATERIALS

3.6.1 General

Promptly dispose of demolished materials. Do not allow demolished materials to accumulate on-site.

3.6.2 Burning

Do not burn demolished materials.

3.6.3 Disposal

Transport demolished materials off Government's property and legally dispose of them.
