Specifications include, but are not limited to: The building is a 1970s multi-story brick structure with aluminum framed partition walls. The interiors are finished with VCT, finished concrete and carpet floors, painted gypsum, painted CMU block, ceramic tile and painted brick faade walls and acoustic tile and open ceiling systems. General Description of Damage. On March 1, 2012 a lab fire occurred on the 5th floor activating three sprinkler heads in the lab. The sprinklers ran for approximately one hour. Fire damage was observed in the Lab and subsequent water damage from the sprinklers and fire department was observed on 50% of the fifth, fourth, third, second and first floor (mechanical room). Water intrusion also filled up two elevator pits. Typical repair will consist of replacing vinyl floor tiles and carpet in the affected areas (50% of total square footage of building) on floors 2, 3, 4 and 5. Acoustic ceiling tile on all affected floors will need to be replaced. All labs ceilings did not have ceiling tiles, so total affected ceiling tiles is 25% of total square footage on each floor. Approximately 2000 SF of sheetrock and insulation needs to be removed on each floor for drying purposes and painted. The sixth floor had a mild odor of smoke throughout the level, but there was no visible soot on the horizontal surfaces. There are no drawings available. Floors 2, 3, 4, 5 consist of 50% labs (VCT flooring) and 50% offices and classrooms (commercial grade carpet, no padding). Floor #1 is finished concrete. Assume the damage was evenly split between the labs and the offices. On the first floor there is just standing water on 50% of the floor (finished concrete). Each floor contains 7,000 SF of space. Assumptions Cost of replacement vinyl floor tiles is $2.50 per 12x12 tiles Cost of replacement carpet is $1.00 per sq. ft. 300 LF of cove base on each floor will need to be removed and replaced ($2.00 LF) Access will be provided in an unimpeded fashion. Work will be performed in a code compliant fashion. All scope items in estimate are deemed to include the necessary labor, materials, tax and equipment to complete the work unless otherwise specified.
