4. Comply with requirements of applicable Sections of Division-2 where cutting and patching required excavating and backfilling.

5. By-pass utility services such as pipe or conduit, before cutting, where services are shown or required to be removed. Cap, valve or plug and seal the remaining portion of pipe or conduit to prevent entrance of moisture or other foreign matter after by-passing and cutting.

C. Patching: Patch with durable seams that are as invisible as possible.

Comply with specified tolerances.

1. Where feasible, inspect and test patched areas to demonstrate integrity of the installation.

01045-6

2. Restore exposed finishes of patched areas and extend finish restoration into retained adjoining construction in a manner that will eliminate evidence of patching and refinishing.
