Contractor shall adhere to the finish schedule provided by the government.

5.1.3 Gypsum Wall Board / Application: There is no requirement for a negative pressure work space during this contract. Roughly 900sqft of repaired/replaced gypsum wallboard must be taped, finished, and paint primed before the installation of any high emitting volatile organic compound (VOC) materials. Fasten gypsum board to framing and furring members in accordance with ASTM C840 or GA 216 and the requirements specified. Apply gypsum board with separate panels in moderate contact; do not force in place. Stagger end joints of adjoining panels. Neatly fit abutting end and edge joints. Use gypsum board of maximum practical length; select panel sizes to minimize waste. Cut out gypsum board to make neat, close, and tight joints around openings. In vertical application of gypsum board, provide panels in lengths required to reach full height of vertical surfaces in one continuous piece.

Lay out panels to minimize waste; reuse cut offs whenever feasible. Surfaces of gypsum board and substrate members may[not] be bonded together with an adhesive [except where prohibited by fire rating(s)]. Treat edges of cutouts for plumbing pipes, screw heads, and joints with water-resistant compound as recommended by the gypsum board manufacturer.

Minimize framing by floating corners with single studs and drywall clips.

5.1.4 Install 5/8-inch fire rated type-x gypsum over framing 16 inches on center. Limited framing will need to be accomplished after the recent demolition to provide a suitable surface for drywall installation. Metal stud framing is typically 20-25 gauge. The government estimates 12lnft of framed metal stud wall will be required for the new wall installation, plus minimal sections of repair to existing steel studs. A light switch to operate the overhead lights in the new office will be the only utility installed on the new wall. The new office door will be installed and finished to match existing doors in the area. Provide, at a minimum, type-x fire rated 5/8-inch gypsum wallboard. Apply gypsum board prior to the installation of finish flooring and acoustic ceiling.

5.1.7 Ceiling grid was left in place during the demolition phase. The contractor will be responsible for matching and repair or reinstall to create an effective, uniform, and complete suspended ceiling. The ceiling will need to be reconfigured where the new wall section will be installed, as it must extend at least 2 inches above the ceiling grid.

5.1.8 Ceiling tiles and grids are 2’x4’ sizes. It is the contractor’s responsibility to match the ceiling grids. Light troffers may need to be moved or rehung to provide a seamless installation. Provide the same manufacturer and surface texture of ceiling tile throughout the identified areas. There are no requirements for a certain manufacturer of ceiling tiles.

Replacement of ceiling grid sections or perimeter grid may need to be accomplished to ensure a complete and finished installation. Color match replacement ceiling grid if necessary. Provide ceiling tile certified to meet indoor air quality requirements by UL 2818

(Greenguard Gold, SCS Global Services Indoor Advantage Gold or provide certification or validation by other third-party programs that products used meet the requirements of this section.

5.1.9 Carpet Tile: Provide the COR with samples to approve and select color and for verification of adherence to standards after notice to proceed is given by the KO. Carpet installation location will be the entire scope area. Carpet will need superior soil resistance and appearance retention. It will have a manufacturer of continuous filament nylon 6. 6 or nylon 6 with a cross-section modification ratio no greater than 2.5, per AF

ETL 07-04, 9.4.2. There will be no PVC backing. Thresholds and transitions will be used when carpet meets a different flooring material or at a termination point. Carpet adhesive will be low VOC. All adhesives for carpet and sheet vinyl installation shall be environmentally safe products meeting all requirements of and all other local, state, and federal environmental agencies.

5.1.10 Cove base will be applied to the perimeter in each room where carpet is installed. The amount is approximately 160LF. Cove base will be vinyl material with a matte finish.

Colors and material samples will be provided to the COR to match with the color of the carpets chosen. Cove base adhesive will be low VOC and an SDS will need to be submitted to the COR for record retention purposes. Self-adhesive cove base will not be accepted. Prefabricated corners are acceptable. The installation shall be neat and present a professional appearance.

5.1.11 Metal stud walls 20-25 gauge are consistent throughout the space. Any unserviceable studs should be repaired or replaced in kind. It is expected that adjustment or minimal replacement to ensure proper drywall installation will be required. The government does not anticipate more than 12lnft of metal stud framing.

5.1.12 Insulation will be installed per the plan provided. The approximate replacement amount is 400sqft. The type used will be a mineral wool material, designed for fire resistance, Suitable for interior metal stud wall application. A minimum R value of 15 is required.

5.1.13

5.2 Facility Infrastructure

5.2.1 Electrical outlets, light switches, lighting, surface mounted fixtures, thermostats, fan controls, motion sensors, communications equipment, fire alarm sensing / notification and alarm and other wall mounted devices and components not specifically listed will need to be reinstalled to code compliant heights and locations. During the recent demolition to remediate mold, care was taken to remove and make secure components in preparation for reconstruction. The reinstallation of these items may require partial and complete isolation of circuits or other utilities to complete. Licensed trades work will be required for reinstallation on a like-for-like basis i.e. licensed electricians for electrical, licensed HVAC technicians for heating ventilation and air conditioning systems.

5.2.2 Any trouble codes or alarms on the Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP) that are monitoring the areas in the scope of this effort will need to be addressed and corrected by the contractor, if they arise during the period of performance. The existing system is a Monaco Enterprises Inc manufactured product. Civil Engineering has a limited supply of devices and may be able to provide a replacement if available. If a faulty fire alarm device is found the contractor may be provided with a replacement device by the COR. Installation of replacement devices, along with any wiring, or programming of addressable components found to be faulty or in need of replacement, will be completed by a contractor utilizing technicians certified on the Monaco

Enterprises Inc system in use at BLD 145

5.2.3 Any previously damaged or found to be non-functional infrastructure i.e. electrical outlets, switches, light bulbs, troffers, or other devices will be identified by the contractor by room, location, and amount for each will be supplied to the COR.
