SECTION 02 22 20 - SELECTIVE DEMOLITION

PART 2 - GENERAL

2.1 SUMMARY

A. Section Includes:

1. Demolition and removal of selected portions of building to be completed by skilled personnel. This portion of the project represents existing wood siding, trim, window (1), gutter and downspout removal to accommodate new siding, trim, window (1), gutter and downspout installation. Many of the painted surfaces have been previously identified to be comprised of lead-based paint containing materials, although it is believed subsequent non-lead containing encapsulant layer(s) have been applied. Lead based paint precautions must be used. Use all precautions required by law, including Ohio EPA, and removal methods appropriate to meet OSHA standards. Provide all protective measures necessary for facility during the work and for staff and visitor safety. Dispose of all debris as required by law, including Ohio EPA. The building is not planned to be occupied during construction.

2.2 MATERIALS OWNERSHIP

A. Unless otherwise indicated, demolition waste becomes property of Contractor.

2.3 DEFINITIONS

B. "Stabilize": To apply measures designed to reestablish a weather-resistant enclosure and the structural reinforcement of an item or portion of the building while maintaining the essential form as it exists at present. This level of intervention is aimed at retarding or arresting adverse impacts to structures.

C. "Protect and Maintain": To remove deteriorating corrosion, reapply protective coatings, and install protective measures such as temporary guards; to provide the least degree of intervention.

D. "Repair": To stabilize, consolidate, or conserve; to retain existing materials and features while employing as little new material as possible. Repair includes patching, piecing-in, splicing, consolidating, or otherwise reinforcing or upgrading materials. Within restoration, repair also includes limited replacement in kind, rehabilitation, and reconstruction, with compatible substitute materials for deteriorated or missing parts of features when there are surviving prototypes.

E. "Replace": To duplicate in its entirety a historic element or feature by matching its historic pattern, detail and appearance. . Replacement is justified when original or historic elements are damaged beyond repair or are missing. Replacement methods includes the following conditions:

1. Replacement with Original or Historic Fabric: Includes fabric salvaged from other locations or projects having identical architectural qualities. It means duplication of appearance using identical material possessing historical significance.

2. Replacement with New Materials: Includes replacement with new material of like kind (custom fabricated of manufactured) that is currently in production. It means duplication of appearance using like material.

3. Replacement with Substitute Materials: Includes replacement with a compatible substitute that is frequently contemporary and unlike the historic fabric. It means duplication of appearance using modern (non-traditional) material Use of substitute materials is not approved unless matching materials are not available.

C. Notify COR of discrepancies between existing conditions and Drawings before proceeding with selective demolition.

D. Hazardous Materials:

1. Lead based paint may be present. Use proper and the gentlest demolition and removal methods to protect staff, the historic adjacent substrates, landscapes and prepare the building for new siding, trim, gutter, downspout and window (1) installation by removing existing materials containing lead based paint. Follow all collection and protection requirements required by law, including Ohio EPA and OSHA requirements. The facility will not be occupied throughout the work. Coordinate the schedule, access and any interior or exterior protection requirements necessary with the COR ahead of and throughout the project.

4.3 SELECTIVE DEMOLITION

A. General: Demolish and remove existing construction only to the extent required to repair/replace existing materials as indicated. Use methods required to complete the Work within limitations of governing regulations and as follows:

1. Neatly cut openings and holes plumb, square, and true to dimensions required. Use cutting methods least likely to damage construction to remain or adjoining construction.

Use hand tools or small power tools designed for sawing or grinding, not hammering and chopping. Temporarily cover openings to remain.

2. Cut or drill from the exposed or finished side into concealed surfaces to avoid marring existing finished surfaces. Cut as required to maintain/allow positive drainage and watertight conditions. Restore, repair or replace areas noted maintaining historic context and matching shapes/materials as possible. Confirm with C.O.R.

3. Do not use cutting torches.

4. Dispose of demolished items and materials promptly.

5. All existing building penetrations shall remain and must be coordinated with manufacturer installation requirements for all new materials. Coordinate temporary removal of items as necessary to accommodate selective demolition and new material installation according to all manufacturer installation requirements.

B. Site Access and Temporary Controls: Conduct selective demolition and debris-removal operations to ensure minimum interference with walks and other adjacent occupied and used facilities. Schedule for expedited replacement to maintain exits and watertight envelope.

Coordinate with siding specification to prep materials that will have restricted access following installation so as to pre-finish these materials.

C. Existing Items to Remain: Protect construction indicated to remain against damage and soiling during selective demolition. When permitted by COR, items may be removed to a suitable, protected storage location during selective demolition and cleaned and reinstalled in their original locations after selective demolition operations are complete.

4.4 CLEANING

A. Remove demolition waste materials from Project site.

1. Do not allow demolished materials to accumulate on-site.

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

3. Dispose of demolished materials according to all requirements by law, including Ohio

EPA and at an approved landfill to accept demolished materials.

B. Burning: Do not burn demolished materials.

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