6. Following removal of all caulk and caulk residue, substrate building

components shall be scarified to remove PCB residual contamination from the surfaces.

7. The adjacent surfaces shall be free of caulk upon visual inspection

at the completion of the removal.

8. At the completion of the removal, the engineering controls shall be removed and discarded as contaminated waste. All waste generated as a result of this abatement shall be disposed of in accordance with applicable state and federal standards.

B. Schedule

DEFINITIONS: Definitions used in this Section are not intended to change the meaning of other terms used in the Contract Documents, such as "specialties," "finishes," "systems," "structure," "accessories" and similar terms. Such terms are self explanatory and have well recognized meanings in the construction industry. "Products" are items purchased for use in performing the work or for incorporation in the work, whether purchased for the project or taken from previously purchased stock. The term "product" includes the terms "material," "equipment," "system" and terms of similar intent. "Named Products" are items identified by manufacturer's product name, including make or model designation, indicated in the manufacturer's published product literature, that is current as of the date of the Contract Documents. "Foreign Products" as distinguished from "Domestic Products" are items substantially manufactured (50% or more of the products value) outside of the United States and its possessions, or products or supplies by entities substantially owned (more than 50%) by persons who are not citizens of nor living within the United States and its possessions. "Materials" are products that are substantially shaped, cut, worked, mixed, finished, refined or otherwise fabricated, processed or installed to form a part of the work. "Equipment" are products that may be either operational or fixed.




Operational equipment are products with operating parts, whether motorized or manually operated, that requires temporary or permanent service connections, such as wiring or piping. Fixed equipment are products necessary for accomplishing the work that are used as a temporary facility during the work and are removed afterwards. QUALITY ASSURANCE: Compatibility of Options: When the Contractor is given the option of selecting between two (2) or more products for use on the project, the product selected shall be compatible with products previously selected, even if previously selected products were also options. PRODUCT DELIVERY, STORAGE AND HANDLING: Deliver, store and handle products in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, using means and methods that will prevent damage, deterioration and loss, including theft. Schedule delivery to minimize long-term storage at the site and overcrowding of construction spaces. Coordinate delivery with installation time to ensure minimum holding time for items that are flammable, hazardous, easily damaged or sensitive to deterioration, theft and other losses. Deliver products to the site in the manufacturer's original sealed container or other packing system, complete with labels and instructions for handling, storing, unpacking, protecting and installing. Inspect products upon delivery to ensure compliance with the Contract Documents and to ensure that products are undamaged and properly protected. Store products at the site in a manner that will facilitate inspection and measurement of quality or counting of units. Store heavy materials away from the project structure in a manner that will not endanger the supporting construction. Store products subject to damage by the elements above ground, under cover in a weather tight enclosure, with ventilation adequate to prevent condensation. Maintain temperature and humidity within range required by manufacturer's instructions.




PRODUCTS: General Product Requirements: Provide products that comply with the Contract Documents, that are undamaged, and unless otherwise indicated, unused at the time of installation. All materials shall be fire-retardant materials, where applicable. Provide products complete with all accessories, trim, finish, safety guards and other devices needed for a complete installation and for the intended use and effect. Standard Products: Where available, provide standard products of types that have been produced and used successfully in similar situations on other projects. Proprietary Specification Requirements: Where only a single product or manufacturer is named, provide the product indicated. NO SUBSTITUTIONS will be permitted. Semi-Proprietary Specification Requirements: Where two (2) or more products or manufacturer's are named, provide one (1) of the products indicated. NO SUBSTITUTIONS will be permitted. Non-Proprietary Specification: When the Specification list products or manufacturer's that are available and may be incorporated in the work, but do not restrict the Contractor to use of these products only, the Contractor may propose any available product that complies with Contract requirements. Comply with Contract Document provisions concerning "substitutions" to obtain approval for use of an unnamed product. Descriptive Specification Requirements: Where Specification describes a product or assembly, listing exact characteristics required, with or without use of brand or trade name, provide a product or assembly that provides the characteristics and otherwise complies with Contract requirements. Performance Specification Requirements: Where Specification requires compliance with performance requirements, provide products that comply with these requirements and are recommended by the manufacturer for the application indicated. General overall performance of a product is implied where the product is specified for a specific application.
