DEMOLITION 1. All exterior materials damaged by rot, insects, severely split or warped are to be removed for replacement of like materials. This will be in limited quantities of siding, fascia, corner boards, window trim, balusters or decking of existing ramp, rails and guard materials at entries, etc. Care should be taken not to damage surrounding materials. 2. There are a few small sections of interior wall around the existing breakroom in the front area that is to be new lobby, and between the utility storage and the adjoining office to be removed. Care must be taken to limit the areas to be repaired. ALL cabinetry and counters are to be salvaged for reuse and installation in the relocated breakroom. They can be stored in the conference room to keep them dry and free from harm. 3. The sod, bushes or ornamental trees in the area of the proposed ramp should be removed in preparation for the form and concrete work. 4. All debris created from demolition or construction work must be hauled away as it is generated, or placed in a well-maintained construction dumpster on site. Debris is not allowed to be piled on the site. B. STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS 1. There are no "structural" elements within this proposed scope. All wood framing is to create partitions or blocking to form frames, walls or shapes. No new walls bear any loading. The monolithic slab on grade that creates the form of the ramp is fully soil or ground supported and will not bear any loading other than pedestrian traffic. 2. The new partitions to be added that will divide offices #5/6, the breakroom from office #7, the small wallsectionsto create the new door access at the reception desk and the wall by the restrooms, as well as minor fill in at the cased opening to be closed at the utility area, are all to be 2 x 4 common studding with 1/2 " dry wall on each side. All finishes should match the surrounding existing walls and trim. There will be a lower 1/2 wall in front of the reception desk to support the counter and provide electrical and low voltage supports. This 1/2 wall will also be complete with drywall. C. CONCRETE FLATWORK 1. A 4" thick concrete ramp and landings will be added with integrated footings as shown in the attached plans on the exterior facing Victoria attaching to the side of the existing porch. All grass and other organic material must be removed prior to placement of concrete. Clean fill, if needed, can be placed to limit the slab thickness to 4" so long as it is 60/40 sand clay mix and compacted as required for sufficient slab on grade support. Maximum pitch along the direction of travel is 1 vertical unit per 12 horizontal units. Landings and walks are to be flat with a maximum allowable cross slope of 2%. 2. All concrete for both the pad and the walkway shall be ready mix at 2500 PSI minimum and placed with a minimum amount of water added at the time of pouring. The concrete shall be scored for expansion joints at intervals of 4-5' oc. to help control expansion cracking. All forms, concrete form material, and any excess concrete must be removed from the site. The finished plane of concrete must transition into the existing porch and sidewalk without forming any trip hazards. D. FINISH MATERIALS AND CLADDINGS 1. This is an existing building currently in use as a City of Thomasville facility. The renovations of this facility were completed in 2013 and are in reasonably sound condition. Existing finishes and material types should be the guide for added, repaired or replacement finishes. Like for like replacements will be expected for wall finish, siding, interior and exterior trim, doors (both style and type), etc. 2. The reception desk, counter and desktop are not designed at this time. As a place holder, provide a line item allowance for this work, finishes, hardware and installation of $5,000.00. 3.
