3.1. Replacement of all wooden windows (PVC – double glazing)

The contract includes the replacement of all exterior wooden windows.

The windows shall comply with Montenegro regulations for public educational facilities. As a minimum the windows shall be manufactured with PVC profile and triple thermally insulated glazing. Minimum requirement is PVC profiles with 5 chambers and double glazing. Each glazing shall have a minimum thickness of 6 mm.

The contractor shall completely remove all wooden windows, including the wooden anchors and the wooden sills and trims. All wood from existing wooden windows shall be removed as part of this contract. The contractor shall make the required adjustments and repairs to the window opening on the walls before installing the new windows. The contractor is responsible to visit the site, to take note of the existing conditions of the window openings and to make all required measurements to quantify the amount of work required by this contract. The contractor is responsible to repair all internal surfaces damaged by the replacement of the wooden windows.

This will be significantly relevant when removing the existing window internal sills. The contractor shall completely remove the exterior wood windows, including all framing, trims, anchors and supports.

The new windows shall operate similar as the existing ones. In other words: if a window has 2 operational panels, the new windows shall have two operational panels of approximately similar dimensions, but the opening panels/leaves of the windows shall open vertically and horizontally.

For estimating purposes, the contractor shall estimate that 50% of the window surfaces shall be operational (horizontally and vertically)

The new PVC windows shall be perfectly finished inside and outside. The joints between the building and the windows shall be perfectly sealed as seen in pictures below for a typical installation (typical “yellow” foam cannot be visible). Contractor to provide PVC sill inside as seen in the pictures below and new outside sills made of aluminum or other approved material (i.e.

natural marble or exterior rated special ceramic tiles or galvanize metal sheet).

The contractor shall estimate that 5 windows need to be provided with non-transparent glazing.

The use of a film to make the glass non-transparent is not authorized, but at least 1 of the 2 panes shall be manufactured as non-transparent.

The beneficiary has stated that they existing security bars can be removed and there is no need to have them reinstalled as part of this contract, and therefore the contractor shall assume that they will remove and dispose of all existing security bars (with the exception of windows in one room that shall be removed, repaired and repainted as necessary)

During dismantling of existing windows, special care needs to be taken so that jambs are not damaged and later installment of joinery is made easier. All removed positions are to be placed in an adequate place on the construction site (facility) for the purpose of easier loading and removal to a city landfill 15 km in distance.

New windows and doors are to be made of highly valuable PVC five chamber profiles that must be of certain thickness (min. 3,5 mm) and with reinforced galvanized steel profiles. Profile should be fully in compliance with RALA quality standard.

Coefficient of thermal conductivity of profile package with metal reinforcement (according to DIN EN 12412-2) less than 1.4 W/m2K). Filling should be double layered glass IZO /20 mm/ (double flat transparent glass with a vacuum between, d=6+12+6 mm).

Inner glass is low emission – LOW E – 1,1W/m2K while the outer is classic - FLOAT.

Sealing is to be done with epoxy rubber (in line with EN410 and EN 673 , Ug=do 2.0 W/m2 K).

Joinery to be supplied with high quality replaceable seals, high quality shackles based on nickel and AL alloys, handles, doorknobs and keys.

All PVC joinery is to be done in line with schemes, in white color. The plan is to have natural flow of air when windows are closed, through especially constructed elements in the frame of the window, type Regel Air, or in some other way, in line with DIN and EU norms. Number and size of elements depends on the size of the window - minimum of two units. No elements should be put in fixed windows and over-lights. Windows should be tightened with wall screws depth 50 mm.

Sealing between wall and window frame should be done with polyurethane foam. Quality certified shackle should enable opening in line with the provided scheme. On the outer side, set an outer bench made of prefabricated aluminium profiles. They are set in the whole width of the window and light box in the prescribed bleed around current facade walls, including the intervention on the facade - construction of thermally insulated facade - the bleed should be six cm more than prescribed bleed. When installing exterior window sill, the sides must lean on the wall, and the part of the facade that is damaged must be fixed. The sill should be tightened with at least two screws in the field. They can be direct or indirect. On the interior side, place parapet benches PVC profile in white color, all in line with producer specifications and joinery schemes. Investor or supervision body (with agreement from investor or contracting authority) can chose to change the color of facade joinery.

Certificates to be submitted by the bidder for all joinery:

• Systematic testing of windows, 14351-1 and B 5300

• Certificate for air permeability EN 12207 - Class 4

• Certificate for water resistance EN 12208 - Class E 900 A

• Wind resistance EN 12210 - Class C5

3.2. Glass/Metal Partition at the Main School Entrance

The school entrance is made by two large metal frames glass partition. There are two similar partitions, connected by another similar partition. Each partition is 7.15 x 4.2 meters, and they are separated by approximately 5 meters. This means that the contractor shall estimate a total of approximately:

7.15 x 4.2 x 2 + 4.2 x 5 ≈ 80 m²

The contract includes the replacement of all these metal framed partitions at the main entrance of the school building, as shown in the pictures.

The basis of design is the following:

- Remove all metal and glass partition from main entrance.

- Provide new structure to support the new partition. New structure to be thermally insulated aluminum or reinforced PVC.

- Provide new enclosure. This structure shall be transparent glazing in at least 75% of the areas and with thermally insulated PVC the rest. For estimating purposes, the contractor may estimate 60 m² of double glazing and 20 m² of thermally insulated PVC panels.

- Provide double glazing similar to the ones specified for the new windows, but with the following minimum thicknesses for the doors:

o 8 mm exterior (facing the street) o 8 mm exterior (facing the interior of the building)

This results in a very heavy glazing of minimum 40 kg/m², which the structure shall be designed to hold by the architect.

The new entrance partition wall with double glazing shall be very stable and strongly anchored into the building structure by professional experienced workers.

For testing purposes, the contractor shall apply a horizontal force of 50 kg at any location of the partition without any visible deflection of the panels.

Doors shall be provided with the necessary standard hardware, such as door stops, door openers, anti-panic hardware or heavy duty hinges.

3.3. Repair Damaged Reinforced Concrete – Paint all concrete

The school façade is made up of exposed bricks and exposed reinforced concrete structure and elements. These structures and elements are in overall good condition, but in some very localized areas, the concrete is cracked or with exposed rusted reinforcing steel. The basis of design is the following:

- Clean with waterblasting high pressure equipment all the concrete façade. This will remove any piece of concrete not solidly adhered to the building structure.

- Waterblasting to remove all paint.

- In all areas with cracked or defective concrete, and in all areas with concrete removed by the contractor because it was not solidly adhered to the building structure, the contractor shall repair the concrete using a two component epoxy concrete repair product. Before the contractor is authorized to start works, they will need to submit for approval a concrete repair method, including the construction practice and concrete repair products proposed to be used. Only materials specifically designed and certified to be used to repair structural concrete shall be authorized. Repair method shall include:

o Repairing the rusted reinforcing steel o Providing nbew epoxy mortar to cover the concrete

- Once the concrete is repaired, the contractor shall apply 3 coats of paint to the exposed concrete surface. The contractor shall use color different from the existing one to verify new painting of all exposed concrete surfaces.

- Once the work is completed, there shall be no visual difference between the repaired and the non-repaired concrete.

This proposed method shall be designed and certified by a locally licensed architect. The concrete repair method, the pressure of the water-blasting equipment, the products to repair the reinforcing steel, shall all be reviewed and approved by a locally licensed architect.

The existing facility is a rural school with 604.53 m² of total built area and 488.08 m² of usable area. This large difference is due to the width of the load bearing walls of the facility.

The facility is located in the cadaster parcel in the Municipality of Berane, cadaster parcel number 22 KO Lubnice, Berane. In the current state, the location is surrounded by a fence and physically separated from other parcels in contact.

In the current state, a part of the toilets that are not subject to reconstruction is to be kept, due to the fact they were recently reconstructed. As such, they are to be kept through this reconstruction.

Ceilings in the toilets are to be reconstructed as part of the reconstruction of ceilings in the whole facility.

Facade and inner walls of facility are made of full brick thickness of 50 cm plastered with gauged plaster.

The roof is classical wooden roof covered with ceramic tiles.

5.1. Scope of Work

The works in the Base-Bid includes the execution of the works in the previously mentioned technical project as outlined herein:

The roof has a complex geometry, with several roof skylights -dormers, roof windows are also present. The slope of the roof is about 27 degrees - measured on site.

The total gross area of the facility at the terrain level is 2015 m2, and the horizontal projection of the roof is 2271 m2. The roof cover of the building has been changed over the previous period.

The on-site inspection found that the larger part of the roof is covered with tegola (bituminous tiles), and one smaller part - sports hall and roof surface that has a common valley with this part of the hall is covered with trapezoidal sheets.

The horizontal internal gutters, are replaced with galvanized external gutters that are deformed, and the vertical pipes are damaged and largely missing. Reinforced concrete and wall bricks are partly broken by this intervention, the works are not completed so, functionally and aesthetically this represents a big problem. In some places the parts of the roof coverings and dormer’s walls bricks are missing or damaged.
