b. Tile floors composed of tiles 8 by 8 inches or larger.

B. Extend tile work into recesses and under or behind equipment and fixtures to form complete covering

without interruptions unless otherwise indicated. Terminate work neatly at obstructions, edges, and

corners without disrupting pattern or joint alignments.

C. Accurately form intersections and returns. Perform cutting and drilling of tile without marring visible

surfaces. Carefully grind cut edges of tile abutting trim, finish, or built-in items for straight aligned

joints. Fit tile closely to electrical outlets, piping, fixtures, and other penetrations so plates, collars, or

covers overlap tile.




D. Provide manufacturer's standard trim shapes where necessary to eliminate exposed tile edges.

E. Jointing Pattern: Lay tile in grid pattern unless otherwise indicated. Lay out tile work and center tile

fields in both directions in each space or on each wall area. Lay out tile work to minimize the use of

pieces that are less than half of a tile. Provide uniform joint widths unless otherwise indicated.

1. For tile mounted in sheets, make joints between tile sheets same width as joints within tile sheets

so joints between sheets are not apparent in finished work.

2. Where adjoining tiles on floor, base, walls, or trim are specified or indicated to be same size, align

joints.

3. Where tiles are specified or indicated to be whole integer multiples of adjoining tiles on floor,

base, walls, or trim, align joints unless otherwise indicated.

4. Where indicated, lay wall tile in horizontal bond pattern.

5. Lay out tile sizzle strips to dimensions indicated or to next full tile beyond dimensions indicated.

Drawings and Specifications. Correct deficiencies observed in pretesting. Replace

malfunctioning or damaged items with new ones, and retest until satisfactory performance and

conditions are achieved. Prepare forms for systematic recording of acceptance test results.

Report of Pretesting: After pretesting is complete, provide a letter certifying the installation is

complete and fully operable, including the names and titles of witnesses to preliminary tests.

C. Final Test Notice: Provide a minimum of 10 days' notice in writing when the system is ready for

final acceptance testing.

D. Minimum System Tests: Test the system according to procedures outlined in NFPA 72. Test the

fire alarm control panels, annunciators, and each new or relocated alarm initiating, indicating or

interfacing device in the presence of the Contractor, Owner's Representative, and the Local Fire

Subcode Official. Minimum required tests are as follows:

1. Verify the absence of unwanted voltages between circuit conductors and ground.

2. Test all conductors for short circuits using an insulation-testing device.

3. With each circuit pair, short circuit at the far end of the circuit and measure the circuit

resistance with an ohmmeter. Record the circuit resistance of each circuit on record

drawings.




4. Verify that the control unit is in the normal condition as detailed in the manufacturer's

operation and maintenance manual.

5. Test each initiating and indicating device for alarm operation and proper response at the

control unit. Test smoke detectors with actual products of combustion.

6. Test Both Primary and Secondary Power: Verify by test that the secondary power system

is capable of operating the system for the period and in the manner specified.

E. Retesting: Correct deficiencies indicated by tests and completely retest work affected by such

deficiencies. Verify by the system test that the total system meets Specifications.

F. Report of Tests and Inspections: Provide a written record of inspections, tests, and detailed test

results in the form of a test log. Submit log on the satisfactory completion of tests. Tag all

equipment, stations, and other components at which tests have been satisfactorily completed.

3.6 CLEANING, ADJUSTING AND ON-SITE ASSISTANCE

A. Cleaning: Remove paint splatters and other spots, dirt, and debris. Touch up scratches and

marred finish to match original finish. Clean unit internally using methods and materials

recommended by manufacturer. When requested within one year of date of Substantial

Completion, provide on-site assistance in adjusting sound levels, controls, and sensitivities to

suit actual occupied conditions. Provide up to two visits to Project site for this purpose.
