COORDINATION

Coordinate scheduling, submittals, and Work of the various Sections of specifications to assure efficient and orderly sequence of installation of interdependent construction elements [, with provisions for accommodating items installed later].

Verify that utility requirement characteristics of operating equipment are compatible with building utilities. Coordinate work of various Sections having interdependent responsibilities for installing, connecting to, and placing in service, such equipment.

Coordinate space requirements and installation of mechanical and electrical work which are indicated diagrammatically on Drawings. Follow routing shown for pipes, ducts, and conduit, as closely as practicable; place runs parallel with line of building. Utilize spaces efficiently to maximize accessibility for other installations, for maintenance, and for repairs.

In finished areas [except as otherwise indicated], conceal pipes, ducts, and wiring within the construction. Coordinate locations of fixtures and outlets with finish elements.

Coordinate completion and clean up of Work of separate Sections in preparation for Substantial Completion [and for portions of Work designated for Owners [partial] occupancy].

After Owner occupancy of premises, coordinate access to site for correction of defective Work and Work not in accordance with Contract Documents, to minimize disruption of Owner's activities.

FIELD ENGINEERING

Employ a Land Surveyor registered in the State of

[__________] and acceptable to the Architect/Engineer.

[Owner will] [Contractor to] locate and protect survey control and reference points.

Control datum for survey is that [established by Owner provided survey] [shown on Drawings] [__________].

Provide field engineering services. Establish elevations, lines, and levels, utilizing recognized engineering survey practices.

Submit [a copy of registered site drawing and] certificate signed by the Land Surveyor that the elevations and locations of the Work are in conformance with the Contract Documents.

ALTERATION PROJECT PROCEDURES

Materials: As specified in product Sections; match existing products and work for patching and extending work.

Close openings in exterior surfaces to protect existing work from weather and extremes of temperature and humidity.

Remove, cut, and patch work in a manner to minimize damage and to provide a means of restoring products and finishes to [original] [specified] condition.

Refinish visible existing surfaces to remain in renovated rooms and spaces, to specified condition for each material, with a neat transition to adjacent finishes.

Where new work abuts or aligns with existing, perform a smooth and even transition. Patched work to match existing adjacent work in texture and appearance.

When finished surfaces are cut so that a smooth transition with new work is not possible, terminate existing surface along a straight line at a natural line of division and make recommendation to Architect/Engineer.

Where a change of plane of [1/4] [_____] inch ([6] [_____] mm) or more occurs, [submit recommendation for providing a smooth transition for Architect/Engineer review] [request instructions from Architect/Engineer] [_______________].

Patch or replace portions of existing surfaces which are damaged, lifted, discolored, or showing other imperfections.

Finish surfaces as specified in individual product Sections.

CUTTING AND PATCHING

Employ [original] [skilled and experienced] installer to perform cutting and patching.

Submit written request in advance of cutting or altering elements which affects:

Structural integrity of element.

Integrity of weather-exposed or moisture-resistant elements.

Efficiency, maintenance, or safety of element.

Visual qualities of sight-exposed elements.

Work of Owner or separate contractor.

Execute cutting, fitting, and patching [including excavation and fill,] to complete Work, and to:

Fit the several parts together, to integrate with other Work.

Uncover Work to install or correct ill-timed Work.

Remove and replace defective and non-conforming Work.

Remove samples of installed Work for testing.

Provide openings in elements of Work for penetrations of mechanical and electrical Work.

Execute work by methods which will avoid damage to other Work, and provide proper surfaces to receive patching and finishing.

Cut rigid materials using masonry saw or core drill.

Restore Work with new products in accordance with requirements of Contract Documents.

Fit Work tight to pipes, sleeves, ducts, conduit, and other penetrations through surfaces.

Maintain integrity of wall, ceiling, or floor construction; completely seal voids.

Refinish surfaces to match adjacent finishes. For continuous surfaces, refinish to nearest intersection; for an assembly, refinish entire unit.

Identify any hazardous substance or condition exposed during the Work to the Architect/Engineer for decision or remedy.
