SECTION 0173 29 <br /> CUTTING AND PATCHING <br /> PART 1 GENERAL <br /> 1.01 SECTION INCLUDES <br /> A. This Section includes procedural requirements for cutting and patching. <br /> 1.02 RELATED DOCUMENTS <br /> A. Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary <br /> Conditions and Specification Sections,apply to this Section. <br /> 1.03 DEFINITIONS <br /> A. Cutting: Removal of existing construction necessary to permit installation or perfor- <br /> mance of other Work. <br /> B. Patching: Fitting and repair work required to restore surfaces to original conditions after <br /> installation of other Work. <br /> 1.04 QUALITY ASSURANCE <br /> A. Engineer's Approval: Obtain approval of cutting and patching before cutting and patch- <br /> ing. Approval does not waive right to later require removal and replacement of unsatis- <br /> factory work. <br /> B. Structural Elements: Do not cut and patch structural elements in a manner that could <br /> change their load-carrying capacity or load-deflection ratio. Where cutting and patching <br /> involve adding reinforcement to structural elements, submit details and engineering cal- <br /> culations sealed by a licensed Engineer in the state of the project showing integration of <br /> reinforcement with original structure. <br /> C. Operational Elements: Do not cut and patch operating elements and related components <br /> in a manner that results in reducing their capacity to perform as intended or that result in <br /> increased maintenance or decreased operational life or safety. <br /> D. Miscellaneous Elements: Do not cut and patch the following elements or related compo- <br /> nents in a manner that could change their load-carrying capacity that results in reducing <br /> their capacity to perform as intended,or that result in increased maintenance or decreased <br /> operational life or safety. <br /> E. Visual Requirements: Do not cut and patch construction in a manner that results in visual <br /> evidence of cutting and patching. Do not cut and patch construction exposed on the exte- <br /> rior or in occupied spaces in a manner that would, in the Engineer's opinion, reduce the <br /> building's aesthetic qualities. Remove and replace construction that has been cut and <br /> patched in a visually unsatisfactory manner. <br /> F. Cutting and Patching Conference: If extensive cutting and patching is required, before <br /> proceeding, meet at Project site with parties involved in cutting and patching, including <br /> mechanical and electrical trades. Review areas of potential interference and conflict. <br /> Coordinate procedures and resolve potential conflicts before proceeding. <br /> Sebastian Corners Roof Replacement 01 73 29-1 Cutting and Patching <br />
