PARAGRAPH / SECTION NO:____________________

TITLE: ________WI 110_________________________

QUESTION:

Item 110, para 7.1 requires the preservation of entire house structure including all appurtenances & para 7.3 requires scaffolding port and starboard from main deck and 02 level forward of house.

Item 116 requires prep and painting of house exterior landings & para 7.3 requires staging port and starboard from main deck and 02 level forward of house. Is there a duplication of effort here?

ANSWER:

Item 110 - Staging will be required to accomplish both items. The extent of staging required by the contractor is determined by the contractor. Preservation of the House requires more staging due to the area involved.

Item 116 – Deck Grating requires staging but not to the extent of the house. May be a duplicate of effort. Coordination of both items is required in order to maintain a means of safety egress from the house in case of emergency. There will be some redundancy.
