<br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />STUDEBAKER NATIONAL MUSEUM <br />SKYLIGHT REPLACEMENT CUTTING AND PATCHING 01045-3 <br />j. Existing Services: Where existing services are required to be removed, relocated, <br />or abandoned, bypass such services before cutting to minimize interruption of <br />services to occupied areas. <br /> <br />k. Performance: Employ skilled workers to perform cutting and patching. Proceed <br />with cutting and patching at the earliest feasible time, and complete without delay. <br /> <br /> <br />l. Cut existing construction to provide for installation of other components or <br />performance of other construction, and subsequently patch as required to restore <br />surfaces to their original condition. <br /> <br />m. Cutting: Cut existing construction by sawing, drilling, breaking, chipping, grinding, <br />and similar operations, including excavation, using methods least likely to damage <br />elements retained or adjoining construction. If possible, review proposed <br />procedures with original Installer; comply with original Installer's written <br />recommendations. <br /> <br />n. In general, use hand or small power tools designed for sawing and grinding, not <br />hammering and chopping. Cut holes and slots as small as possible, neatly to size <br />required, and with minimum disturbance of adjacent surfaces. Temporarily cover <br />openings when not in use. <br /> <br />o. Existing Finished Surfaces: Cut or drill from the exposed or finished side into <br />concealed surfaces. <br /> <br />p. Concrete and Masonry: Cut using a cutting machine, such as an abrasive saw or a <br />diamond-core drill. <br /> <br />q. Excavating and Backfilling: Comply with requirements in applicable Division 2 <br />Sections where required by cutting and patching operations. <br /> <br />r. Mechanical and Electrical Services: Cut off pipe or conduit in walls or partitions to <br />be removed. Cap, valve, or plug and seal remaining portion of pipe or conduit to <br />prevent entrance of moisture or other foreign matter after cutting. Proceed with <br />patching after construction operations requiring cutting are complete. <br /> <br />s. Patching: Patch construction by filling, repairing, refinishing, closing up, and similar <br />operations following performance of other Work. Patch with durable seams that are <br />as invisible as possible. Provide materials and comply with installation requirements <br />specified in other Sections of these Specifications. <br /> <br />t. Inspection: Where feasible, test and inspect patched areas after completion to <br />demonstrate integrity of installation. <br /> <br />u. Exposed Finishes: Restore exposed finishes of patched areas and extend finish <br />restoration into retained adjoining construction in a manner that will eliminate <br />evidence of patching and refinishing. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />END OF SECTION 01045 <br />
