011100 - SUMMARY OF WORK

Notes:

DESCRIPTION: This document is intended for describing requirements of a design-build proposal for design or construction or both - of a project.  A contract for design-build work can be formalized on a Government contract form or a CCA or CCDC form for Stipulated Price or Cost Plus or other negotiated contract form.  The Contract Documents that will be defined in the General Conditions, will probably be the accepted proposal.

As there are many differing forms of design-build arrangements, this document must be stylized to suit.  Confirm with the Owner/Engineer if any special or unusual bidding criteria should be considered.  Should significant revisions be contemplated to this performance layout of proposal text, ensure that words and terms conform to the CCDC Definitions or definitions of the contract form that will be used.  In the instance of owner purchased equipment preceding this Contract, include a copy of each purchase order at the end of this Instructions to Bidders as an attachment for information.  Terminology Note: the Federal Government use the term "Tender" and the private sector use the term "Bid" - this document offers both options.

This Section 00 11 21 has been renumbered to meet the recommendations of the MasterFormat 2004 classification system. Prior to January 2005, this NMS section was numbered Section 00205 - Request for Proposal - Design-Build in accordance with MasterFormat 1995.

ENVIRONMENTAL: The indoor environmental industry generally considers fungal (mould) remediation to be potentially as harmful as asbestos remediation. At present there are no regulations on mould remediation procedures.

ENVIRONMENTAL: This Section has been prepared based on the New York City Department of Health  Bureau of Environmental and Occupational Disease Epidemiology's Guidelines on Assessment and Remediation of Fungi in Indoor Environment (2000) and on the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) document on Mould Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings (2001). Three levels of remediation procedures recommended for mould remediation based on the level of exposure likely to occur were established by the above documentation. Accordingly, the following three sections were developed: Section 02 85 10 -  Mould - Minimum Precautions, Section 02 85 11 - Mould Remediation - Intermediate Precautions and Section 02 85 12 - Mould - Maximum Precautions. Such an arrangement is also convenient for specification purposes, and should satisfy most, if not all the requirements of Provinces for the work specified.

The specification writer must assess the project carefully to determine which of the three levels of precautions applies. Where the project involves more than one of the three levels, the precautions for the more stringent requirements shall be used as a basis for the project specification and different requirements for the other levels involved shall be stated clearly.

DESCRIPTION: This Section describes the type of masonry material and soiling; the performance requirements; and, the number and description of stages when they start and finish.

SUPPORT: This Section has been developed by Real Property Services for Canadian Heritage and Environment Canada, Public Works and Government Services Canada.

ENVIRONMENTAL: This Section specifies environmentally responsible material choices, including recycling and reuse options, and generally available disposal options.

ENVIRONMENTAL: Contractor will permit, and provide time for attendance at a briefing session for all employees, highlighting the requirements of environmental specifications and others measures.

Cleaning method should not be selected until masonry material and soiling have been positively identified. Type and degree of soiling to be removed should be well identified; type and function of the masonry material to be cleaned should be well understood; and, styles of pointing, tooling and other aspects of historic workmanship should be identified and recorded. Use gentlest cleaning method possible consistent with achieving an adequate level of cleanliness. Due to the nature of soiling, the different types of masonry construction and surface, and the wide variety of cleaning methods available, it is recommended that masonry conservation expertise - Masonry Conservator or Consultant - is consulted when selecting a masonry cleaning method. Any method that involves more than water should be specified by such expertise. This section specifies one commonly used method for cleaning historic using the two-phase approach. For a water wash, a moderate pressure water wash is used in first phase after application on test area. More intensive cleaning methods may be used in second phase to remove localized stains or deposits. A variety of methods could be used on a single project depending on nature of soiling (stains and deposits). It is anticipated that moderate water wash will be costed on lump sum basis and intensive cleaning on unit price basis. If this approach is not practical employ a logical decision process such as described in Reference #1 located in item 6. Water cleaning methods, in general, cause masonry material to absorb water. Time needed for each material to become wetted thoroughly, varies greatly. Bricks absorb three times as much water as limestone or sandstone. Their core and surface become wet rapidly. Water evaporates rapidly from bricks. Sedimentary stones retain absorbed water during treatment. This can cause dampness on inside walls, resulting in efflorescence, discolouration and plaster exfoliation. It is important that masonry cleaning techniques which use water must be carried out at an appropriate time of year, when temperatures are above 10° C and when there is sufficient drying-out time allowed before risk of freezing occurs. The use of a drycleaning method allows greater flexibility to clean in the winter season and does not risk problems to foundations and grounds due to heavy water infiltration. Before using any wet cleaning method, ensure the building envelope is waterproof, including the foundations, and that all drainage is in good condition. The order of work of masonry conservation is dependent upon variety off actors such as masonry condition, ease of access and environmental conditions. Generally, masonry wall will have been stabilized (through grouting and/or reinforcement), repaired and repointed. If new stones are put into wall ensure that cleaning does not make them obtrusive. Most cleaning techniques may destroy toolmarks of pointing, so final pointing is usually best done after cleaning.

This Section is written to cover the following tests: Test for modulus of rupture: test of shear strength; Test for compressive strength; Tests for absorption: tests to determine suitability of brick to weather exposure; Test for freezing and thawing: test for determining durability of brick exposed to freeze-thaw cycles; Test for initial Rate of absorption (suction): test to determine effect of cold temperature on brick laying; Test for efflorescence: test for determining potential of brick to become surface-stained by soluble salts; Test for measurement of size; Test for measurement of warpage.

For unidirectional method of testing, recommended for old brick, see volume 44, 1975, Journal of Canadian Ceramic Society, pages 21-22.

Non-destructive testings are still at an experimental stage of development in Canada. They require experienced operators and evaluators: see CMHC publications - Review of Non-destructive Test Method for Assessing Strength, Serviceability and Deterioration in Buildings, March, 1993.

American Standards have been developed for partially destructive test such as the L.A. Shear test or the flat Jacks: see American Society of Civil Engineering - Guideline for the Structural Condition Assessment of Existing Buildings, 1991.

SUPPORT: This Section was developed by Real Property Services for Canadian Heritage and Environment Canada, Public Works and Government Services Canada.

Sometimes, removing and resetting work must form part of separate contracts, work of which may be done by different contractors. That is why this work is dealt with in clauses that may be used separately.

When structure comprises different types of masonry (ashlar, rough stone, brick), or requires various methods of treatment (exact relocation, reproduction of drawing, reproduction of volume regardless of relative position of units), most exacting case must be described in detail; others may be described either in separate clauses or briefly explained in a general clause. Different procedures are likely to be applied. According to each case, modify or omit unsuitable paragraphs.

When structure contains units made of materials other than masonry, these units must be outlined in special paragraphs. In general, procedure to be followed is the same, but precautions to be taken differ greatly according to refinement of structure. Precautions will probably be more elaborate (risk of wood decay, of metal oxidation, or of plaster soaking). When these materials constitute sufficiently important parts of structure, include in project specification section appropriate sections, referring to them as related work.

Use this section to specify all types of unit concrete roof coverings, concrete shingles, slates, tiles, or channels. Although some roofers will be familiar with installation and details, modern use of concrete roofing is not common. Also, most concrete roofing jobs on historic buildings often consist of repair or reproduction. Consequently it is essential that for each project detail drawings be prepared which fully describe dimensions, shape and means of attachment of individual units, and detail every aspect of installation.

Concrete roof materials used in damp areas of the country will collect dirt. Moss and vegetation will evenutally appear on the concrete slates. Removal should follow the most recent research. Consult the regional CEAA officer for approved materials and consult AES for approved methods prior to executing the specifications.

No comprehensive update of this document has been undertaken to ensure: metrification of product measurements, current product availability or safety concerns.

SUPPORT: This section was developed by Real Property Services for Environment Canada and Canadian Heritage, Public Works and Government Services Canada

ENVIRONMENTAL: This Section specifies when required environmentally responsible material choices, and takes a deconstruction approach which may include recycling and reuse options and generally available disposal options.

The attached section #07415 specifies architectural sheet metal roofing systems but does not address such pre-formed sheet metal roofing products as corrugated iron or steel shingles. This section was first developed between 1979 and 1984 to assist professional staff working on National Historic Site structures. No comprehensive update of this document has been undertaken to ensure: metrification of product measurements, current product availability, environmental and safety concerns. The present guideline sheets provides valuable information referring to the products and materials characteristics to be selected and used in the above mentioned specification. PART 2 PRODUCTS - 2.1 Materials - Two types of metal plate roofing sheets were [1979-1984] manufactured, the tin plate and the terne plate.  2.1.1 Tin Plate roofing sheets - Two types of tin plate are currently manufactured, a hot-dip tin plate and an electrolytic tin plate, a post 1934 development. Coating of former type is applied mechanically by tinning rolls. In case of latter, coating is obtained by electro-deposition. Specification varies for each product.  - Base Metal: Historically, hot-dip tin plate was produced from a variety of base metals, genuine charcoal iron, coke iron and Bessemer steel.  In more recent years, hot-dip tin plate is produced from open-hearth, electric-furnace or basic-oxygen steel. Electrolytic tin plate, a comparatively recent type of tin plate has been produced with latter mentioned steels only. Steel used in tin plate manufacture comes in generally one of two forms: ordinary carbon, cold-rolled sheet, available in thicknesses greater than 0.38 mm or low carbon, single or double-reduced black plate, available in thicknesses less than 0.358 mm. Double-reduced product with thicknesses less than 0.155 mm is too thin to be of use in this specification. Single reduced black plate is available in a variety of ground roll and shot-blasted finishes. While important from standpoint of container manufacturers, these finishes have no relevance for a roofing application. They neither improve or worsen significantly, paint bonding characteristics of tin. The various tin plate products now produced should not be considered for roof application for the reasons stated above.  - Basis weight or thickness: Thickness of tin mill black plate, 0.36 mm or thinner, employed as a base metal for tin plate is expressed by base weight method. This is weight in pounds of 112 sheets of base metal, 14" by 20" - a single base box. In near future the industry will be converting to a SITA (System International Tinplate Area) method, where product is designated in units of 100 m². As this has not taken place to date, no metric equivalent for base box unit is provided. Weight of basis box for 1C tin plate, a gauge once used for roofs, is 107 pounds.  Thickness of cold-rolled steel sheet, 0.38 mm and over, employed as a base metal for tin plate is expressed in hundredths of a millimetre. The thickness of 1X and 2X tinplate, once commonly used for roofs are 0.377 mm and 0.432 mm.  - Coating weights: Pure tin coating on a hot-dip tin plate is mechanically distributed over sheet surface by tinning rolls. Due to nature of this tinning operation and elevated temperature of metal it is not possible to control, within close limits tin coating weight. For these and other reasons, coating is measured and described by "tin pot yield" method. Total weight (in pounds) of tin consumed in manufacture of one base box, is pot yield. Terms, charcoal plate and coke plate, which in last century described quality of iron used as a base metal have now come to be applied to tin plate of certain coating thickness. Amount of coating on coke plates is generally between 1.25 and 2.5 pounds per base box - on charcoal plates between 3 pounds and 5 pounds per base box. For roofing applications, heavier charcoal weight coatings have always been preferred. Common cokes, 1.25 lb/base box. Standard cokes, 1.50 lb/base box; Best cokes, 1.70 lb/base box. "Kanners" special cokes, 2.0 lb/base box; 1-A charcoal, 2.25 lb/base box; 2-A charcoal, 3 lb/base box; 3-A charcoal, 3.8 lb/base box.  Check CSA Standards and note steel, galvanized metal comes with a rust inhibitor which effects painting, usually paint will not adhere to coating. This must be neutralized before paint adheres. Method used must follow steel industry standards.  Weight of coating on an electrolytic plate is a measurement of amount of coating on both sides of sheet, expressed in grams per square meter. Prior to adoption of this system, a "pot yield" method was used. The coating designation numbers are a hold over from this earlier system. - Coating finish: Historically two surface finishes were available, a "blue oil" and "bright dry", depending on how palm oil used in hot-dip process was handled. In recent years, no such variation occurs in manufacturing process and most tin plate produced is of a mirror-bright finish. At least five different surface finishes are available, depending on finish of base metal and treatment of coating. If plated strip is heated above melting point of tin and quenched in water (melted), result is a bright reflective coating. If left unmelted, coating has a non-reflective appearance. Following finishes are available: 7B Smooth finish base, possibly with fine grit lines; - a melted coating (bright-highly reflective); l7C Smooth finish based with grit lines - a melted coating (bright-reflective) same-matte (unmelted) coating (non-reflective); 5B Shot-blast finish base (SBF) - melted tin coating (bright-non reflective); 5C Shot-blast finish (SBF) - matte unmelted tin coating (dully gray). For roofing purposes, all of the above listed finishes are acceptable.  - Grade : Hot-dip tin coated sheet and hot-dip tinplate are line-inspected on one surface and intermittently on two surfaces or in same instances continuously on both surfaces. Accepted product is known in commerce as "Unassorted" or "Standard" quality. Sometimes accepted "Standard" grade material is subjected to a further visual examination either on sorting tables or on special inspection lines, a process called "assorting" and separated into two quality gradings called "Primes" and "Seconds". "Primes" is grade designation given to tin plate free from defects readily observed by unaided eye. It is the only grade of tin plate that could be acceptable for a roofing application.  Increased line speed of electrolytic tinning and practice of shipping much of tin in coils makes line inspection very difficult. At present time, normal production is called "standard" grade and remainder "menders", "rejects" or some other category. Onus is on purchaser to locate defects and do his own assorting.  - Size: Hot-dip tinplate and tin coated sheet are produced almost entirely as cut-lengths. Width of hot-dip tinplate available is generally in range 635 to 762 mm. In heavier coatings, widths of up to 1500 mm are not uncommon. More common lengths are between 762 mm to 814 mm. In heavier coatings a length of 3000 mm can be ordered. Electrolytic tinplate and tin coated sheet is available in cut lengths and coils. Commonly produced widths range from 635 mm to 965 mm. Lengths are normally in range of 508 mm to 1016 mm for cut-lengths. 5 to 10 ton coils commonly produced are too large to be considered for ordering in course of renewing a roof. Plate sizes listed are those most commonly used historically.  2.1.2 Terne plate roofing sheets  - All terne plate is produced by hot-dip process. Two product lines "short terne" and "long terne" are available. The Difference between the two products is largely one of size. "Short terne" is generally available in the sizes 356 x 508 mm and 508 x 711 mm. "Long terne" is available in cut lengths up to 3,658 mm and coils, generally 15,240 mm in length.  - Base metal: Historically, terne plate was made with a variety of base metals; i.e., genuine charcoal iron, open hearth steel, Bessemer steel and low carbon steel. In more recent years, generally two base metal are used; a copper-bearing, low carbon steel and 304 (18% chrome, 8% nickel), dead-soft stainless steel. Copper content of copper bearing steel is usually specified as less than 0.20 percent by cast or heat analysis of 0.18 percent by product check or verification analysis.  The thickness of lighter gauge carbon steels, 0.38 mm, sometimes referred to as tin mill black plate, employed as a base metal for terne plate is expressed by base weight method. 107, 135 and 155 pounds per single base box sizes are most common. They are also known as 1C, 1X and 2X respectively.  Thickness of cold-rolled, carbon steel sheet, 0.38 mm and over, employed as a base for long terne sheets or coils (seamless roll) and stainless steel sheet employed as a base for terne coated stainless sheets is expressed in hundredths of a millimetre.  - Coating weights: Terne coating is applied by hot-dip method, where sheets are passed through a bath and rollers remove excess coating by a squeezing action. Coating thickness on "short terne" plate is expressed in pounds per double base box. (A surface area of 871.12 square feet). Generally 3 coating weights are available. Coating thickness on "long terne" is generally expressed in grams per square metres. Some manufacturers continue to use the pound per base box method.  - Shop coat finish: It is recommended that all terne coated, carbon steel used at exterior be painted. This may consist of a mill applied shop coat, 2 sides, followed by 2 coats of oil paint (a red oxide-linseed oil paint primer and a coat of long oil exterior) on exposed surface. Alternatively single coat applied at underside can be a coat of red iron oxide-linseed oil paint applied before application. Terne coated stainless will weather to a uniform warm grey and needs no painting for protection or maintenance.  - Grade: Short terne is inspected after coating and graded as "primes" and "seconds". "Primes" is grade designation given to terne plate free from defects readily observed by unaided eye. "Seconds" is grade designation given to short terne having imperfections in moderate degree or extent. For roofing purposes "primes", including a maximum of 3 percent "seconds" should be specified.  Long terne, in cut length sheets is produced to a single grade "prime finish", free from injurious defects such as blisters, flux, and uncoated spots. Production of coils does not afford an opportunity for inspection, grading and sorting.  - Size: "Short terne" plate is cut to standard sizes and resquared. Sizes 356 x 508 mm and 508 x 711 mm are commonly stocked. "Long terne" sheet is produced in cut-lengths and coils. Cut-length sheets are available in 508, 610 and 711 mm widths and 2438 and 3658 mm lengths. Coils or seamless rolls are available in widths ranging from 102 to 711 mm, and a length of 15,240 mm.

ENVIRONMENTAL: This Section specifies environmentally responsible material choices, including recycling and reuse options, and generally available disposal options.

ENVIRONMENTAL: There are environmental and health concerns related to the use of glycol particularly during storage, handling and dispose. Of the two main types of glycol used, propylene glycol appears to be more environmental friendly than ethylene glycol.  However, propylene glycol is more viscous than ethylene glycol, therefore requiring greater pump energy to circulate through a piping system. The alternative options to using glycol as suggested, relate to piping configurations at hydronic coils and the use of small circulating pumps to ensure continuous flow of water through the coils in order to avoid freeze up.

SUSTAINABLE:  For sustainable requirements for this section, related to the Construction and Verification, co-ordinate with Section 23 08 02 - Cleaning and Start-Up of Mechanical Piping Systems, Section 23 05 01 - Installation of Pipework  and Section 23 08 01 - Performance Verification Mechanical Piping Systems.

Notes:

DESCRIPTION: This Section specifies fertilizing and preserving root systems of plants affected by changing grades or excavation.

ENVIRONMENTAL: This section specifies environmentally responsible material choices, including reuse and recycling options, and generally available disposal options. The inclusion of recycled content provides efficient use of natural resources and diverts materials from the waste stream.

ENVIRONMENTAL: Location of utility cables and lines should not be planned to run under or near treed areas. Future excavations for repairs and refits will damage the root systems of planned trees and shrubbery.

ENVIRONMENTAL: If chemical fertilizers are to be used the following guidelines will be used to address the toxicity levels.

ENVIRONMENTAL: Nitrogen Fertilizers: ammonium nitrate, monoammonium phosphate and ammonium sulphate have similar toxicity levels and are considered much safer than anhydrous ammonia, aqua ammonia or urea. Diammonium phosphate is more toxic than monoammonium phosphate but less toxic than urea.

ENVIRONMENTAL: Phosphate Fertilizers: phosphate fertilizers are usually low in toxicity as a large percentage of the phosphate is precipitated into the soil before the phosphates reach the roots. Normally there is not a safe limit set for the rate that phosphates can be applied. However it should be noted that phosphates encourage seed germination and an application high in phosphates will encourage the germination of undesired vegetation along with desired vegetation.

ENVIRONMENTAL: Potash Fertilizers: Muriate of potash (KCl ) is the most common source of potassium in fertilizers and is less toxic than most nitrogen fertilizers. Sulphate of potash (K2SO4) is less toxic than Muriate of potash. Sulphate of potash-magnesia has approximately the same toxicity per unit of potassium as Muriate of potash. Potassium nitrate is one of the safer sources of potassium. Fertilizers containing micro-nutrients (boron, copper, iron manganese or zinc) are more toxic than the same grades of product manufactured without micro-nutrients. Boron is particularly toxic and should not be applied.

Alteration of plant root zone conditions will affect health and survival of plants. Consult arborist to ensure most appropriate method is chosen.

Maintenance performed one year prior to construction will contribute to plant health and survival. This could include fertilization, watering, root and branch pruning.

SUSTAINABLE: This Section specifies sustainable requirements related to the Construction and Verification of this project for attaining environmental performance goals.

This Section 32 01 91 has been renumbered to meet the recommendations of the MasterFormat 2004 classification system. Prior to January 2005, this NMS section was numbered Section 02901 - Tree and Shrub Preservation in accordance with MasterFormat 1995.

Notes:

This Section 33 65 56 has been renumbered to meet the recommendations of the MasterFormat 2004 classification system. Prior to January 2005, this NMS section was numbered Section 02559 - Factory Pre-insulated Piping Systems for Utility Applications in accordance with MasterFormat 1995.

DESCRIPTION: This Section specifies major components of factory applied, pre-insulated utility piping systems as well as optional freeze prevention components. Pre-insulated pipe is usually shallow buried (3 to 5 outside diameters to invert) but has been laid directly on ground surface or supported to grade above ground by various means.

ENVIRONMENTAL: This Section specifies environmentally responsible material choices, including recycling and reuse options, and generally available disposal options. The inclusion of recycled content provides efficient use of natural resources and diverts materials from the waste stream.

It is preferable and recommended that the purchase of pre-insulated pipe systems be from single source and the specifier should ensure that the Instructions to Bidders will indicate this. This single source should supply and warrant that the total system be free from inherent defects including carrier core pipe, insulation, outer jacketing, pipe joints, fitting insulation kits and optional freeze prevention components. In addition, the single source should be required to provide installation service and technical expertise.

Failure of piping systems due to freezing of water or wastewater will occur when fluid temperatures drop below 0.5° C. Freezing does not occur when residence time of liquid in the pipeline is less than time necessary for it to cool to the freezing point.

Thermal design must allow sufficient time to restore flow before the fluid can reach this critical temperature should the system become inoperative for whatever reason. Length of time allowed depends upon ease of restoration and availability of maintenance personnel and equipment. Design freeze-up time may be less than one day for larger centres but several days for small communities.

Experience suggests that provision of active heat tracing is not generally required on gravity sanitary sewers or large diameter water mains and force mains. Also, this provision may not be required on smaller diameter mains within the public right of way provided liquid is kept moving.

Final decision on freeze protection and type of heat tracing used rests with the Engineer/Consultant and the owner/operator. Where time-to-freeze is less than 96 hours or deadend service connections are involved, active heat tracing option is recommended.

ENVIRONMENTAL: This Section specifies environmentally responsible  including recycling and reuse options, and generally available disposal options. Demolition work includes special requirements with respect to de-construction, stock piling and alternate disposal of materials. Prior to project start it is beneficial to gain a firm understanding of the types, quantities and value of the salvageable materials. (Ontario's 3Rs Regulations require that a waste audit and waste reduction workplan be completed for certain projects prior to the start of any work.) Research should also be done into the state of local reuse and recycling markets. This information will prove to be valuable during project supervision. Ensure that the information (related to waste diversion) contained within this section does not conflict with any instructions given in other sections. Activities which surround the actual demolition of structures such as removal of underground services, blasting, underpinning, and shoring can provide waste diversion opportunities. Specify that any materials used or generated during these activities be of reusable quality or salvaged in condition suitable to alternate disposal methods. Retaining and reusing materials: when renovating, specify the careful removal of materials for future reuse, and where possible, source salvaged components.

If demolition is to be a separate contract, ensure the Contract includes appropriate Sections of Division 01 to cover such items as site access and  restrictions, worker and public protection, safety, security, drainage, insurance, permits, and other items in 1.1.
