of estimated costs.
E. Mark-ups:
1. Work performed by the Contractor. Where the Work is performed directly
by the Contractor by adding to the total of such estimated costs a sum
equal to fifteen percent (15%) thereof.
2. Work performed by a Subcontractor. Where the change order work is

Re: Olin Hall (Building 2024) Stairwell Renovation Project
Asbestos Inspection Report
Cornell Work Order No. 6801149
Delta Project No.: 2014.030.042
Dear Mr. Houseknecht:
The following information is associated with the upcoming Stair Renovation Project to be performed in the
three (3) stairwells at Olin Hall. On Tuesday, February 25`I', 2014, Delta Asbestos Inspector Thomas Ferro was
onsite to perform a Pre -Renovation Asbestos Survey for the Project, which included a visual inspection of the
three stairwells and associated suspect materials with the potential to be impacted by the work. Based on a
review of the project Scope with the Cornell Project Manager and Building Coordinator, and a visual inspection
of the affected areas, NO suspect materials with the potential to be impacted by the Project were observed to be
present. As such, no asbestos bulk sampling was performed as a part of this Pre -Renovation Inspection/Survey.
This is based on the fact that the various materials with the potential to be impacted by the Stair Project were
non -suspect concrete and masonry materials. If you have any questions, or require any other information,
please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Respectfully,
DELTA ENGINEERS, ARCHITECTS, & LAND SURVEYORS, P.C.

3.3 PERFORMANCE
A. General: Employ skilled workers to perforin cutting and patching. Proceed with cutting and
patching at the earliest feasible time and complete without delay.
1. Cut existing construction to provide for installation of other components or
performance of other construction activities and the subsequent fitting and patching
required to restore surfaces to their original condition.
B. Cutting: Cut existing construction using methods which will assure safety, will be least likely
to damage elements retained or adjoining construction, and will provide proper surfaces to
receive new work.
In general, where cutting, use hand or small power tools designed for sawing or
grinding, not hammering and chopping. Cut holes and slots as small as possible, neatly
to size required, and with minimum disturbance of adjacent surfaces. Temporarily
cover openings when not in use.
2. To avoid marring existing finished surfaces, cut or drill from the exposed or finished
side into concealed surfaces.
3. Cut through concrete and masonry using a cutting machine, such as a carbon saw or a
diamond -core drill.
4. Comply with the requirements of applicable MEP work where cutting and patching of
services is required.
C. Patching: Patch with durable seams that are as invisible as possible. Comply with specified
tolerances.
1. Where feasible, inspect and test patched areas to demonstrate integrity of the
installation.
2. Restore exposed finishes of patched areas and extend finish restoration into retained
adjoining construction in a manner that will eliminate evidence of patching and
refinishing.
a. Where patching occurs in a painted surface, apply primer and intermediate paint
coats over patch and apply final paint coat over entire unbroken surface
containing patch. Provide additional coats until patch blends with adjacent
surfaces.
3. Refinish entire surfaces as necessary to provide an even finish to match adjacent
finishes:
a. For continuous surfaces, refinish to nearest intersection.
b. For an assembly, refinish the entire unit.
