1.4 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. The Work of Project is defined by the Contract Documents and consists of the following:

1. This project involves hazardous material abatement associated with the removal, cleaning and reinstallation of the existing single glazing associated with the TLS Greenhouses (GH-1, GH-2, GH-3) at the University of Connecticut. The structures were originally constructed in the late 1950s and are classified as Group U Occupancy (Utility and Miscellaneous) per code definitions and are assumed to be of Type V-B construction—non-rated, unprotected wood or metal framing.

2. The scope includes the removal of all single pane glazing and associated compression brackets, followed by cleaning of both the glass and framing systems including compression brackets. Glazing shall be reinstalled using an approved silicone sealant primer—such as DOWSIL™ 1200 OS, GE SS4044P, or Tremco Primer #996—in conjunction with a structural silicone sealant, such as DOWSIL™ 795, GE SilGlaze® II SCS2000, or Tremco Proglaze® SSG, applied at glass-to-framing and glass-to-compression muntin brackets. Perform adhesion tests of installed sealant per ASTM C1521, Standard Practice for Evaluating Adhesion of Installed Weatherproofing Sealant Joints. Additionally, the scope includes the complete removal and off-site disposal of glazing compounds that have been confirmed to contain asbestos, as well as those presumed to contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at concentrations ≥50 ppm. These hazardous materials are present in approximately 9,900 linear feet of glazing compounds, associated with 3,450 glass panes mounted on metal/glass substrates across the three greenhouse structures. Contractor shall select the appropriate primer/sealant combination for the actual frame finish, subject to review and approval.

Major building assemblies include:

Roof and wall systems: Comprised of metal framework and glass glazing panels

SUMMARY 01-1000-3

SUMMARY 08/2025 01-1000 - 3

Glazing compounds: Serving as sealants for windowpanes, identified as both ACM and assumed PCB-containing

Substrate materials: Primarily glass and metal frames requiring decontamination and salvage

All work must be performed under strict regulatory compliance with EPA (40 CFR 761), OSHA (29 CFR 1926), and Connecticut Department of Public Health standards. The contractor will be responsible for containment, selective demolition, removal, and appropriate environmental controls throughout the abatement process.

3. Removal of all debris caused by this Contract.

4. Protection of the public, building, grounds from damage during this contract is always the responsibility of the Contractor for this project.

5. Repair or replace landscaping including trees, shrubs or other planting disturbed during the Work of the contract with new to match existing, unless otherwise noted. Regrade and reseed any grass area damaged as a result of the Work. Repair any walkways or paved areas damaged as a result of the Work.

B. Owner-Furnished Materials:

1. Owner will furnish replacement glass and aluminum compression muntin’s as required for the Work. Installation of Owner-furnished materials shall be considered equivalent to the removal, cleaning, and reinstallation of existing components. Contractor shall include all costs for coordination, receiving, handling, storage, protection, and installation of Owner-furnished glass and muntin’s in the Base Bid.

2. Replacement of broken, missing, or non-reusable glass or compression muntin’s with Owner-furnished materials shall not be considered additional work, and no additional compensation will be provided.

1.5 WORK UNDER SEPARATE CONTRACTS
