Description of Scope:
The Criminal Justice Center has experienced water intrusion within the building that has been
identified as originating in the Courtyard, in the rear of the building. St Charles County hired
Horner & Shifrin to identify the cause and generate the recommended repairs as outlined in
the design documents attached. They determined the original 'pre-compressed expansion
joint' needs to be replaced.
Scope:
The Contractor is responsible for all scope items identified in the design documents.
The Contractor must call for utility locates as needed to perform the work.
The Contractor will stay within the limited area of disturbance within the area of work
whenever possible. The Contractor may need to coordinate with the current construction
that is taking place, but at the time of the excavation work, the current construction should
be completed in the courtyard.
The Contractor shall demo existing expansion joints as needed and prep surfaces as
required by the expansion joint manufacturer.
The Contractor must confirm the cleanout does not have any connections and abandon
Install new concrete pre-compressed expansion join around the weep shelf in the weep
surface, seal against the wall joint from the interior.
The Contractor shall excavate the existing grade outlines to expose the existing pre-
compressed expansion joint on the exterior. Install the new material as specified on the
exterior.
Install new pre-compressed expansion join at the inside face, below the edge beam down
to the slab on grade.
Existing interior seals between the concrete slab on grade and the exterior wall should be
inspected and repaired as required.
Remove existing sealant and furnish and install new non-shrink exterior grade flexible
sealant to ensure a watertight seal between all pipes and wall penetrations inside.
There is a 1" conduit at the interior side of the work area that appears to be unused. Verify
no live connections and cap the conduit.
Contractor is responsible for maintaining a clean area, free of debris during work, but
primarily at the conclusion of each day.
Once the exterior work is completed, the Contractor must restore the area that was
disturbed to the grade in the design documents. The seed and straw work will be performed
by others.
Contractor must secure all tools and equipment being used when not on-site.
Given the Corrections Facility, the Contractor must adhere to all safety and security
protocols. Each on-site personnel must pass a background check requirement prior to work
commencing. All forms will be provided and clearances achieved before work may begin.
