' 8. CUTTING. BORING AND EXCAVATION:
t A. No cutting, boring or excavating, which may be necessary for this
work in or about the building, which may in any way interfere
with the work of another Contractor, or weaken the structure in
' any way, shall be undertaken without receiving the approval of
the Architect before starting same.
B. All excavations made by this Contractor shall be properly filled,
' flooded and tamped to the original grade. This shall be done
under the Architect's supervision and to their entire approval.
' 9. CUTTING AND PATCHING:
A. Each Contractor shall coordinate his work to avoid cutting of
' construction. Where it becomes necessary to cut through walls,
floors or ceilings to permit the installation of work under this
contract. or to repair defects which may appear up to the expira-
tion of guarantees, such cutting shall be done under the super-
vision of the Architect by the trade or Contractor whose work is
to be disturbed. The damages shall be repaired, after the work

the water circulating systems to remove and exclude foreign
matter and upon completion of erection a thorough cleaning program
' shall be observed.
B. The cleaning operation shall be followed after all parts .3f the
' systems are in place but before any are insulated or furred in.
' M-7
C. This Contractor shall take precaution during the cleaning opera-
tion to protect his work and the work of other trades and should
' any damage be done, lie shall rzinedy or repair it to the complete
satisfaction of all concerned. The Owner's representative is

on each test to Architect. -
' F. All water piping systems shall be properly tested to assure their
being absolutely tight. In the case of pipes which are to be
' insulated, these tests shall be completed and the piping system
proved to be absolutely tight before any insulation is applied.
' G. The procedure of these tests shall consist of subjecting a piping
system to a hydrostatic pressure of 150 lbs. per square inch
gauge for a period of no less than eight hours. During this test
period, all pipe, fittings and accessories in the particular
' piping system which is being tested, shall be carefully inspected.
If leaks are detected, such leaks shall be stopped by means
designated by the Architects and the hydrostatic test shall again
' be applied. This procedure shall be repeated until, for an
entire eight hour period, no leaks can be found while the system
being tested is subjected to the pressure mentioned above.
' H. Wherever conditions permit, each piping system shall thereafter
be subjoeted to its normal operating pressure and temperature for
a period of not less than five days. During this period, it shall
' be kept under the careful observation of the Contractor. The
piping systems must demonstrate the propriety of their installa-
tion by remaining absolutely tight during this period. The
' satisfactory completion of any test or series of tests shall not
relieve the contractor of any responsibility with rega.,d to the
ultimate, proper and satisfactory operation of such piping sys-
tems and their accessories.
' I. The Owner's representative is to be present during the testing
of the piping.

program switch to maintain desired hot deck setting.
A cold deck receiver controller with capillary serpentined
across the cold deck shall control a two way throttling
control valve to maintain cold deck setting. A high limit

switch to dwenergize all heating circuits whenever th
temperature sensed by this thermostat rises above 150.
This program switch shall also cause all heater circuits to
be de-e,,eroii~ea whenever there is no air flow thru the heater
t coil. The cold deck receiver controller shall modulate the
outdoor air, return air and relief air damper in sequence with
the two why valve on the cooling coil to maintain the
desired cold deck temperature. In this cycle, the ventila-
tion cycle shall be fully utilized before the normall

the cooling coil. The ventilation cycle shall be provided
with an adjustable minimtin position switch and the ventila-
tion cycle shall be returned to this minimum position any
time the outdoor air temperature rises above 72% Whenever
the unit fan is de-energized, all ventilation cycle dampers
shall return to their minimum positions, and fresh air damper
shall close.

A. Upon the completion of all tests and necessary repairs or re-
placements, all water piping systems shall be subjected to a
disinfection procedure as herein specified. The systems to be
' disinfected shall include hot and cold water piping, drinking

may be connected to the same supply source. The disinfection
' shall be applied to all piping included in the contract from the
main cut-off valve through all appurtenances connected thereto.
These systems shall be thoroughly flushed with water to remove
' sediment. Following this flushing, they shall be disinfected in j
accordance with one of the following methods::
(1) The system shall be so chlorinated that a chlorine residual
of not less than 10 ppm remains in the water after 24 hours
standing. Water from the source of supply shall be ccn.
trolled so as to flow slowly during the application of
chlorine. The rate of chlorine mixture flow shall be in
such proportion to the rate of water entering pipe that
the chlorine dose applied shall produce 10 ppm after 24
' hours standing. This may be expected with an application
of 25 ppm, although some conditions may require more.
In the process of chlorinating the system, all valves and
other appurtenances shall be operated while the pipeline
is filled with the chlorAt3ng agent.
' (2) For emergency repairs where a shorter retention is necessi-
tated, it will be permissible to have a contact period of
one hour with a 100 ppm chlorine concentration.
C. Following chlorination, all treated water shall be thoroughly
flushed from the system at its extremities until the replace-
ment water throughout its length shall upon test, be approved
by the public health authority having Jurisdiction. This satis-
factory quality of water delivered by the new system should
continue for a period of at least three (3) days as demonstrated
by laboratory examination of samples taken from a tap located and
installed in such a way as to prevent outside contamination.
' After the systems are drained, they shall be thoroughly flushed
with fresh water and returned to service,
