Remodel, Demolition & Unforeseen Conditions
13. Visit site prior to bid and verify the conditions. Include in the bid, costs required to make work meet existing conditions, whether indicated or
not.
14. Provide mechanical demolition required. Refer to architectural demolition drawings for location and extent of demolition required. Visit site
prior to bid to determine extent of work involved. Provide labor and materials as required to maintain and/or restore continuity of service to
existing systems.
15. In as much as design for remodel, renovation and/or rehabilitation requires that certain assumptions be made regarding existing conditions
and because some of these assumptions cannot be verified without destroying otherwise adequate or serviceable portions of the building, the
