END OF SECTION

Notes to Specifier (Delete from Specifications)

1. Stipulate if asbestos abatement by others or included in this

Contract. (Refer to Section 02081, if included).

2. Edit this Section as required for nature and extent of demolition work.

3. The decision to reuse the construction debris is to be carefully considered. If the building is to be demolished in preparation for new construction of a building at a later date, it is acceptable to reuse. Modify Section 02200 to not require the backfilling with the remaining material to be done in controlled lifts. However, if it is to be potentially used for a playground, call for the removal of all material and refer to Section 02200 for all filling and backfilling. There may be cases where it makes sense for parts of the site to be permanently backfilled and parts to use the rubble if it will soon have to be excavated out.

These should be delineated on the Drawings and revise the paragraph to read that the rubble material is acceptable for the portions of the site indicated on the Drawings.

4. Environmental Investigation may result in other hazardous items, including fuel tanks. Refer to those Sections.

5. Determine whether vibration monitoring is required for the

Project. Consider proximity to other structures.

6. Evaluate materials to be used for shoring and bracing based on anticipated duration of use. Steel might be preferable to wood if it is expected to be in place for an extended period of time.

7. Identify salvage items on the Drawings, or list them herein.


05/15/15 DESIGN NO. ______

8. Ensure that items indicated are desired to be removed. If less than the total building foundation is to be removed, clearly show it on the Drawings.

9. For all projects involving the demolition of existing school buildings, obtain from the Department of Education a written list indicating specifically any items which should be salvaged from that building. Contact the Area Manager of

Central Shops for the list. The list must also include the location for delivery of the items. Specify the items to be salvaged in this paragraph, and add the location for delivery if it is not the Central Shops. Delete the paragraph if the Department of Education determines that no items are to be salvaged.

Salvageable items may include equipment such as locksets, door closers and stops, elevator parts, intercom and public address systems, burner/boiler equipment, air compressors & tanks, air dryers, vacuum/condensate pump equipment, fuel oil transfer pumps/heater sets, refrigeration equipment, deck type sump pumps, motors/starters, flat leather belting, thermostats/pneumatic valves, fire alarm equipment, emergency lighting units, exit lights, automatic switches, and other mechanical and electrical equipment.

10.

Omit for projects where NYC Green Schools Rating System compliance is not required (Typical of CIP projects, UPK

Center conversions and fit-outs ). Verify for referenced project. Note that references elsewhere to Construction

Waste Management are to remain as it is the Authorities intent to recycle building demolition debris to the maximum extent possible.

11. Confirm that the Drawings and Specifications indicate all

Work necessary to maintain the weatherproof and waterproof integrity of adjoining buildings. Building walls exposed by demolition are typically unfinished and will require remedial work. The designer is responsible for investigating existing masonry, cornices, parapets, flashing, roofing, foundations, wall openings, etc. and for including the required weatherproofing work and repairs in the bid documents.

12. Indicate the required grading based on the duration between the building demolition and the installation. If a separate contract, grading must be indicated.
