About this file
This document contains technical specifications for storefront replacement work at three MARB buildings (2271, 2272, 2273), organized into five specification sections addressing aluminum framing, curtain wall systems, blast-resistant windows, door hardware, and glazing requirements.
Section 08 41 13 (Aluminum-Framed Entrances and Storefronts) specifies narrow-stile aluminum entrance doors with impact-resistant capabilities designed for high-traffic applications. Requirements include 6063-T5 aluminum extrusions, EPDM or thermoplastic elastomer glazing gaskets, structural silicone sealants, and rigid thermal barriers. The system must withstand wind loads of 40 psf (positive) and 10 psf (negative) on exterior walls, with maximum deflection of L/175 or 3/4 inches. Certified test reports are required for wind load resistance, deflection, condensation resistance (CRF minimum 66), thermal transmittance (U-value maximum 0.53), water infiltration, and structural performance. Door corner construction must use mechanical clip fastening with SIGMA deep penetration plug welds and 1 1/8 inch fillet welds. Hardware includes mortise locksets, panic devices, surface closers, and exit devices. Manufacturers include Ives, Schlage, Von Duprin, and LCN. The contractor must conduct pre-installation meetings within 30 days of contract award and submit shop drawings, product data, finish samples, and certified test reports. Warranties include 2-year manufacturer coverage for materials and 10-year coverage for insulating glass units against seal failure.
Section 08 44 00 (Curtain Wall and Glazed Assemblies) specifies a stick-system curtain wall with aluminum framing, insulated panels, windows, and glazing for vertical mullion configuration. Aluminum alloys must meet AA ASD1 standards with minimum recycled content of 20 percent; structural steel must conform to ASTM specifications. The system must withstand 30 psf design wind loads per ASCE 7, with maximum deflection of L/175 or 3/4 inches. Seismic performance requirements per AAMA 501.4 & 501.6 include Phase I testing at 0.005 times story height and Phase II at 0.010 times story height with no damage or failure. Thermal conductance testing per ASTM C1363 requires maximum U-value of 0.36 for complete wall assembly. Factory testing must demonstrate water penetration resistance per ASTM E331 at 20 percent of design wind pressure (minimum 4 psf), air infiltration not exceeding 0.06 cfm per square foot per ASTM E283, and window structural adequacy per ASTM E330/E330M with no glass breakage. Panels must have maximum U-value of 0.036. Finishes include Type II anodized aluminum and fluoropolymer paints meeting AAMA 2604/2605. The contractor must submit structural and thermal calculations, conduct mockup testing, and provide as-built schedules with keying, wiring diagrams, and manufacturer maintenance information.
Section 08 56 53 (Blast Resistant Tempered Glass Windows) specifies tempered glass windows compliant with ASTM C1048 Grade B and ANSI Z97.1, designed to withstand uniform static loads per acceptance criteria using statistical analysis. At least two sample window assemblies per window type must be tested under increasing uniform static loads until failure occurs in glass or frame. The static load capacity formula is rs = 0.876 ru (50 psi for 18x18 inch glass). Acceptance criteria require the arithmetic mean failure load r̄ to satisfy r̄ ≥ rs + sA, where s is sample standard deviation and A is the acceptance coefficient from a provided statistical table. Windows must conform to AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 with weatherstripping and hardware allowing operation after withstanding design blast pressure. Environmental conditions require minimum 40°F for glazing work with manufacturer-approved warming procedures. Glass manufacturer's instructions for setting and sealing materials must be submitted and followed.
Section 08 71 00 (Door Hardware) establishes comprehensive hardware requirements including hinges (Ives preferred), locks (Schlage mortise locksets), exit devices (Von Duprin panic hardware), and closers (LCN surface-mounted). Key specifications mandate hinges with sufficient throw to permit maximum door swing; mortise locksets with 0.75-inch throw stainless steel latchbolts, field-changeable handing, and independent breakaway spindles; panic devices with 1,000,000-cycle rating and 2000-pound static load resistance for exterior doors; and door closers with 10,000,000-cycle rating, rack-and-pinion type, non-sized, non-handed, and adjustable for 5-pound opening pressure (exterior and interior). Hardware finish is BHMA 622 Matte Black throughout. The key system is Schlage FSIC full-size interchangeable core with temporary construction keying and permanent cores installed by the government. Installation locations are specified per SDI-100 and building codes, with latching hardware positioned 34-44 inches above finished floor and panic hardware at 36-44 inches. Acceptable manufacturers include Stanley (hinges), Trimco (accessories), Zero (thresholds), and Glynn-Johnson (overhead stops). The contractor must conduct pre-installation meetings with manufacturers, verify existing conditions before ordering, and provide an as-built schedule including keying plan. Hardware warranties include 10 years for locksets and exit devices (3 years electrical), 30 years for closers, and 1-2 years for other items.
Section 08 81 00 (Glazing) specifies clear, annealed, laminated, tempered, heat-strengthened, spandrel, and fire-rated glass per ASTM and GANA standards. Insulating glass units must have inner panes of annealed Type I flat glass and outer panes of tempered glass, with Low-E coatings achieving U-value maximum of 0.28 Btu/hr-ft²-F and SHGC maximum of 0.30. All glazing material in doors and sidelights must meet 16 CFR 1201 safety standards. Setting and sealing materials include elastomeric sealants (ASTM C920 Type S, Grade NS, white color), neoprene setting blocks (Shore A 70-90 durometer), edge blocks (Shore A 50 durometer), and preformed gaskets conforming to ASTM C509 or C864. The contractor must follow GANA Glazing Manual, IGMA TM-3000, and IGMA TB-3001 recommendations for preparation, installation, and protection. Glass edges exposed in finish work must be ground smooth in the shop, and labels must remain in place until installation approval. The contractor must provide 10-year warranty for insulating glass units against seal failure causing obstruction to vision, excluding glass breakage.
