This Section includes procedural requirements for cutting and patching. <br />1.2 RELATED SECTIONS <br />A. Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary <br />Conditions and Specification Sections, apply to this Section. <br />1.3 DEFINITIONS <br />A. Cutting: Removal of existing construction necessary to permit installation or performance <br />of other Work. <br />B. Patching: Fitting and repair work required to restore surfaces to original conditions after <br />installation of other Work. <br />1.4 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 de- <br />creased 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 ex- <br />terior 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 />1.5 WARRANTY <br />A. Existing Warranties: Remove, replace, patch, and repair materials and surfaces cut or
