Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. Item #1: Mobilization shall include relocating all job trailers, rental and large item equipment, plywood sheathing for lifts, and similar items to the job site. Items associated with mobilization do not need to be included in the Final Report. 2. Item #2: Cupola Framing and Roof Assessment a. The 2022 Structural Assessment was not able to complete this assessment due to the moldy insulation described below and the time constraints with removing/replacing it. This item is to remove the insulation and complete the assessment of the cupola framing, ventilation grilles, screens and related materials, and then install new insulation. b. Refer to original construction detail 10 on sheet C7 for this bid item (other details may also apply). i. Remove all existing interior insulation for assessment of cupola framing, exterior wall panels and roofing panels. 1. Some/all of the insulation may be moldy. ACT is responsible for providing all appropriate PPE, containment and legal disposal of removed materials, including any required fees. 2. Remove and bag insulation within the cupola, all insulation materials must stay within the defined work area. DO NOT let insulation fall to the ground or land within the vegetation. Catchment system must be able to contain insulation, fasteners and any other associated debris. 3. Conditions will be hot and humid inside the Conservatory and in the cupola. The exhaust fans in the cupola may be required to run to pull the hot air from the Conservatory interior. Coordinating this work early or on overcast days may be useful but is not required. All Conservatory equipment is operated by an environmental control system, the ACT must coordinate with the Conservatory Curator or Horticulture Director if you need to turn equipment off. ii. Assess the cupola structural framing and roofing/siding materials for condition and weather proofing needs. 1. Assessment shall be performed by PE and Testing Agency personnel for existing conditions and evaluation of next steps. 2. If simple fixes are warranted provide a written COR (as described in section 2.7 above) to the Owner Team. DO NOT proceed with any work until Owner Team has approved the COR. 3. Where extensive work must be done at a later date provide a detailed description of next steps in the Final Report. Include recommended scope of work, photos, and cost estimates. 4. If multiple areas need extensive work, document each with separate estimates and prioritize most critical as #1 to least critical. 5. If needed repairs will cause the interior temperature of the Conservatory to potentially fall below 55F the Owner Team must be notified. This work may need to be delayed until outdoor temperatures will be above 50F. c. Install new insulation of types and specifications that match the original materials installed. Paint as indicated on details. i. NOTE: this step shall be completed only after the completion of the assessment in item 3 below for the primary structural framing that is hidden by the insulation...
