Do not cut and <br />patch structural elements in a manner that could change their load-carrying capacity or <br />increase deflection <br />a. All structural steel framing. <br />2. Operational Elements: Do not cut and patch operating elements and related components in <br />a manner that results in reducing their capacity to perform as intended or that results in <br />increased maintenance or decreased operational life or safety. Operational elements include <br />the following: <br />a. Primary operational systems and equipment. <br />3. Other Construction Elements: Do not cut and patch other construction elements or <br />components in a manner that could change their load-carrying capacity, that results in <br />reducing their capacity to perform as intended, or that results in increased maintenance or <br />decreased operational life or safety. Other construction elements include but are not limited <br />to the following: <br />a. Water, moisture, or vapor barriers. <br />4. Visual Elements: Do not cut and patch construction in a manner that results in visual <br />evidence of cutting and patching. Do not cut and patch exposed construction in a manner <br />that would, in Architect's opinion, reduce the building's aesthetic qualities. Remove and <br />replace construction that has been cut and patched in a visually unsatisfactory manner. <br />C. Cutting and Patching Conference: Before proceeding, meet at Project site with parties involved <br />in cutting and patching, including mechanical and electrical trades. Review areas of potential <br />interference and conflict. Coordinate procedures and resolve potential conflicts before <br />proceeding. <br />D. Manufacturer's Installation Instructions: Obtain and maintain on-site manufacturer's written <br />recommendations and instructions for installation of products and equipment. <br />PART 2 - PRODUCTS <br />2.1 MATERIALS <br />A. General: Comply with requirements specified in other Sections. <br />B. In-Place Materials: Use materials for patching identical to in-place materials. For exposed <br />surfaces, use materials that visually match in-place adjacent surfaces to the fullest extent possible. <br />1. If identical materials are unavailable or cannot be used, use materials that, when installed, <br />will provide a match acceptable to Architect for the visual and functional performance of <br />in-place materials. <br />PART 3 - EXECUTION <br />3.1 EXAMINATION <br />A. Subsurface report: None available. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 7D9ACD4F-8F6C-42B6-9ADB-C60032DB6D03
