This includes replacing the lintels over the window openings at the main building addition on the East/rear of the main building (Henriques addition). Existing brick at the lintels will be removed to access the lintels and a clear written and digital photograph assessment of the existing lintels will be conducted prior to actual removal of lintel. The project includes a base bid requirement and one Option item. Base bid requirement is to completely remove existing lintels and replace with correct size. New lintels shall be galvanized, primed with appropriate primer and painted with two coats of exterior paint. On a case by case basis, if it is determined that actual replacement is not required, an alternative method can be proposed to mitigate lintel oxidation. New lead coated copper flashing shall be installed at all lintel locations. Lintel end dam flashing shall be installed at all locations to eliminate water ponding and wicking at ends of steel lintels. New adhesive backed membrane flashing shall be installed. Cut old mortar joints out to a minimum depth of one inch deep. Remove all deteriorated mortar that is deeper than the one inch minimum initial cut in the joint. If mortar removed reaches half the brick width or deeper then brick shall be completely removed and reset in new mortar bed. All spalled and cracked face brick shall be replaced. Make preps for new grout to be installed, including the removal of all foreign and loose material from the joints. If water is used to clean the joints ensure adequate time is allowed for joint area to dry before placing new mortar. Mortar shall not be harder than the brick and shall be of a sand and lime mixture. Use of scaffolding will require an engineered plan for the erection and stabilization of scaffold for use on site. The engineered plan shall be stamped by the certifying engineer. There are items attached to the outside face of the building at various locations. These items shall be removed and reinstalled once the repointing in that area is complete. Use shoring as required to keep items from shifting out of place. Base bid contains approximately 10724 square feet of surface area and 69 window and door openings.

Repair of the windows and frames is part of this option. Windows shall be repaired to normal working order. Remove all old joint sealant and replace with new. Remove and recycle or properly dispose of all construction debris. The lintels, window openings and doors, frames, trim, etc. are based on the original building drawings, historic photographs, field measurement of original components and current code requirements.
