PART 2 PRODUCTS

PRODUCTS FOR PATCHING AND EXTENDING WORK

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

Type and Quality of Existing Products: Determine by inspection and testing Products where necessary, referring to existing Work as a standard.

PART 3 EXECUTION

EXAMINATION

Verify that demolition is complete, and areas are ready for installation of new Work.

Beginning of restoration Work means acceptance of existing conditions.

PREPARATION

Cut, move, or remove items as necessary for access to alterations and renovation Work. Replace and restore at completion.

Remove unsuitable material not marked for salvage, such as rotted wood, corroded metals, and deteriorated masonry and concrete. Replace materials as specified for finished Work.

Remove debris and abandoned items from area and from concealed spaces.

Prepare surface and remove surface finishes to provide for proper installation of new work and finishes.

Close openings in exterior surfaces to protect existing work [and salvage items] from weather and extremes of temperature and humidity. Insulate ductwork and piping to prevent condensation in exposed areas.

INSTALLATION

Coordinate work of alternations and renovations to expedite completion [sequentially] [and] [to accommodate Owner occupancy].

[Project] [Designated areas] [Rooms and spaces] [and] [Finishes]: Complete in all respects [including operational mechanical and electrical work] [and] [_______________].

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.

[In addition to specified replacement of [equipment] [and] [fixtures] restore existing [plumbing,] [heating,] [ventilation,] [air conditioning,] [electrical,] [and] [_______________] systems to full operational condition.]

Install Products as specified in individual Sections.

TRANSITIONS

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.

ADJUSTMENTS

Where removal of partitions or walls results in adjacent spaces becoming one, rework floors, walls, and ceilings to a smooth plane without breaks, steps, or bulkheads.

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] [_______________].

Trim existing doors as necessary to clear new floor finish. Refinish trim as required.

Fit work at penetrations of surfaces as specified in Section [01045.] [_____.]

REPAIR OF DAMAGED SURFACES

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

Repair substrate prior to patching finish.

FINISHES

Finish surfaces as specified in individual Product Sections.

Finish patches to product uniform finish and texture over entire area. When finish cannot be matched, refinish entire surface to nearest intersections.

CLEANING

In addition to cleaning specified in Section [01500] [_____], clean Owner occupied areas of work.
