<br />applicable requirements and must be located in consultation with the Ross Construction
<br />Representative io insure that no conflicts arise with respect to Ross signing, fixtures and
<br />merchandising.
<br />4A CONSTRUCTION - GENERAL NOTES - EXISTING CONDITIONS
<br />4A.1 The G.C. is to remove all remaining exterior signs and abandoned items of the
<br />previous occupant and patch, repair, clean and paint as required by the Ross Construction
<br />Representative for a neat, unblemished and finished appearance giving no evidence of the
<br />prior condition and damage. Painted and stained surfaces are to be refinished in kind to
<br />match existing, unless otherwise required by the Final Plans and the Ross Construction
<br />Representative.
<br />4A.2 The G.C. is to in -fill any floor drains and depressions in the floor slab and do any
<br />and all work necessary to provide a level and smooth slab equal to the standard set in
<br />item 5.1 below.
<br />4A.3 All abandoned sales fixtures, shelving, cabinetry, floor coverings, signage,
<br />electrical, and mechanical equipment, plumbing fixtures and all other items not deemed
<br />useful or necessary by the Ross Construction Representative are to be removed. The
<br />Ross Construction Representative will determine which items are to be retained for
<br />reuse, if any.
<br />4A.4 The G.C. is to verify the size and location of all existing utility lines and stubs to the
<br />building and notify the Ross Construction Representative of any discrepancies between
<br />those shown on the Final Plans, if any, and those identified by inspection.
<br />4A.5 The G.C. is required to bring all utilities (water, sewer, gas, phone and electrical)
<br />and a dedicated and independent automatic fire sprinkler riser into the tenant space
<br />complete and ready for switch -over and service.
<br />4A.6 The store is to be delivered free, without exception, of hazardous materials
<br />including all asbestos containing materials and is to be surveyed and certified as such
<br />by a licensed environmental consultant acceptable to the Ross Construction
<br />Representative (see T001).
<br />4A.7 Existing Site Conditions - Unless otherwise agreed, the G.C. is responsible to
<br />repair or restore damaged, deteriorated, inadequate and/or worn existing site conditions
<br />(including but not limited to paving, signing pylons and monuments, striping, sidewalk
<br />paving, landscape, irrigation, signing and lighting) to a like new condition or to the
<br />current prototype standard or to the current applicable code standard which ever is of
<br />the highest level. A lighting photometric survey is required of the site in the vicinity of the
<br />Ross store and its designated control and use areas.
<br />4A.8 Existing Raised Floors - Prototypically Ross requires that sales and processing
<br />operations occur on a stable, uniformly supported concrete slab -on -grade. However, in
<br />some existing locations it may be proposed that sales and processing operations occur
<br />on raised floors supported by long span structures. Such raised floors are to a greater or
<br />lesser extent flexible and must be must be evaluated and certified by the G.C. that they
<br />are or will be made suitable for our store operations. In particular, the floor must be 1)
<br />sufficiently stable and suitable for the application and the long-term failure free
<br />performance of the Ross prototype floor tile, 2) without "bounciness", and 3) sufficiently
<br />rigid so as not to perceptibly telegraph the impacts of footfalls and cart movement.
<br />4A.9 Routing of Non -Ross Utilities - Ross does not allow the routing of any existing or
<br />new non -Ross utilities, services, conduits, piping, ducting, sewer lines, sprinkler lines
<br />and the like through its leased premise. No exceptions.
<br />5 CONSTRUCTION - FLOORS
<br />5.1 As referenced in ASTM F 710 - Standard Practice for Preparing Concrete Floors to
<br />Receive Resilient Flooring; Concrete floors to receive resilient flooring shall be permanently
<br />dry, clean, smooth, and structurally sound. They shall be free of dust, solvent, paint, wax,
<br />oil grease, residual adhesive adhesive removers curing, sealing,hardening, or parting
<br />9 9, P 9
<br />compounds, alkaline salts, excessive carbonation or laitence, mold, mildew, and other
<br />foreign materials that might prevent adhesive bond. They shall be without cracks (except
<br />hairline shrinkage cracks acceptable to the Ross Construction Representative) smooth
<br />finish, level (not to exceed +/-'/2") and on a single plane without depressions or raised
<br />areas (neither to exceed 1 /8" as measured against a 10' true steel edge).
<br />5.2 Both new and existing normal weight concrete floor slabs must be a minimum of 4
<br />inches thick and shall meet American Concrete Institute (ACI) 302 Class 2 (3000 psi
<br />compressive strength) suitable to receive Resilient Flooring and the installation of seismic
<br />fixture anchors.
<br />5.3 New concrete slabs are to be designed with moderate to moderately low
<br />water -cement ratios (i.e. 0.40 to 0.45) which will have acceptable permeability to moisture.
<br />5.4 New on -grade or below -grade concrete slabs are to be placed over a well -draining
<br />engineered subgrade that is fully covered by a low permeance, fully sealed moisture vapor
<br />retarder as described in ASTM E 1745.
<br />5.5 The slab shall be cured using moisture retaining coverings for a period not less than
<br />5 days. The slab shall be maintained moist but excessive addition of water shall not be
<br />permitted. If curing compounds are used, they must be removed in accordance with the
<br />flooring manufacturer's recommendations so as not to interfere with bonding of the
<br />adhesive. Removal of chemical curing compounds shall be achieved by light shot-blasting.
<br />The prepared surface shall be thoroughly cleaned by vacuuming. Power blowers shall not
<br />be used as dust is not contained and will settle back onto slab surface.
<br />5.6 Surface cracks, grooves, depressions, control joints or other non-moving joints, and
<br />other irregularities shall be filled or smoothed with latex patching or underlayment
<br />compound recommended by the resilient flooring manufacturer for filling or smoothing, or
<br />both. Patching or underlayment compound shall be moisture -resistant, mildew -resistant,
<br />and alkali -resistant, and, for commercial installations, shall provide a minimum of 3000 psi
<br />compressive strength after 28 days. If excessive warping occurs, sub -sealing shall be
<br />performed to minimize the risk of reverse warping causing distress in flooring over joints
<br />and cracks.
<br />Slab is to remain sound and free of defects and failure throughout the Ross occupancy
<br />5.7 Quality Control Services: Concrete Slab Moisture & pH Testing. Provide concrete
<br />slab moisture vapor emission, in -site relative humidity and pH (alkalinity) testing at existing
<br />and new concrete slab substrates scheduled to receive Resilient Flooring as specified and
<br />as needed for a complete flooring installation. The Contractor shall provide access for and
<br />cooperate with Ross Stores Testing/Inspection Agency as described herein. Concrete slab
<br />moisture and pH testing shall be performed utilizing ASTM testing methods and practices
<br />referenced herein: ASTM F 710 - Standard Practice for Preparing Concrete Floors to
<br />Receive Resilient Flooring, ASTM F 1869 - Standard Test Method for Measuring Moisture
<br />Vapor Emission Rate of Concrete Subfloor Using Anhydrous Calcium Chloride, ASTM F
<br />2170 - Standard Test Method for Determining Relative Humidity in Concrete Floor Slabs
<br />Using in situ Probes. The number of tests required is determined by the square -footage of
<br />the project: three (3) tests are required for the first 1,000 square feet, and one (1) additional
<br />test for each 1,000 square feet thereafter. Moisture testing must be performed in the same
<br />service temperature and humidity environment that the floor covering is going to be in. The
<br />building should be enclosed, and if possible, the HVAC system should be on for a minimum
<br />period of 48 hours prior to and during testing. Otherwise, the results may not accurately
<br />reflect the amount of moisture which is present in the slab or would normally be emitted
<br />from the concrete during normal operating conditions. If the service temperature and
<br />humidityis unattainable the internal conditions of the building shall have been maintained
<br />, g
<br />within the following temperature and humidity range for at least 48 hours: Temperature: 65'
<br />to 85°F, and Relatively humidity: 40% to 60%. No Calcium Chloride Moisture Vapor
<br />Emission test result (MVER) may exceed the limit of 5 lbs. No in -situ Relative Humidity test
<br />result may exceed the limit of 75%. No pH (Alkalinity) test result may exceed a pH of 9.
<br />Notification of such tests is to be given to the architect -of -record and to Ross construction
<br />representative. A Certified Moisture Test Report depicting each test result is to be submitted
<br />o e e e
<br />P P P 9
<br />to both for record prior to the installation of floor finish immediately following testing. The
<br />inspection is to be made in a 48-hour preconditioned environment by the following (or
<br />approved equivalent):

<br />5.8 The Ross Construction Representative must be given the opportunity to inspect the
<br />condition of every new and existing floor slab prior to the installation of the specified floor
<br />finish. A 14-day prior notice must be given to the Ross Construction Representative of
<br />intended finish floor installation. An inspection or not of a slab or substrate by the Ross
<br />Construction Representative will not in any way relieve the General Contractor of the
<br />responsibility to provide the specified slab and finished floor free of installation and
<br />performance defects.
<br />5.9 Not used
<br />5.10 Not used.
<br />5.11 Ross does not permit installation of new floor finishes over existing floor coverings.
<br />5.12 Temperature, Humidity and Material Conditioning: Prior to testing and tile installation
<br />the building shell is to be fully conditioned and the temperature held at 70 degrees for a
<br />minimum of 48 hours. The relative humidity is not to exceed 65-percent. Flooring and
<br />adhesives are to be stored in the conditioned space for at least 24 hours immediately prior
<br />to installation.
<br />5.13 Not used
<br />5.14 Note deleted
<br />5.15 Pre -Installation Bond Test by Contractor: A bond test must be performed on all grade
<br />levels of concrete substrates to determine if the concrete is sufficiently dry and for the
<br />compatibility of the flooring adhesive with concrete surfaces having curing agents, dust
<br />inhibitors, paint or other special surface treatments. An easy method of testing for
<br />adherence is to perform a bond test. Use Z x 2' (600mm x 600mm) pieces of the flooring
<br />material selected for the installation and adhere with TARKETT recommended adhesive. Pay
<br />particular attention to the adhesive open time. If after 72 hours an unusual amount of force is
<br />required to lift the material from the subfloor, and if after doing so, adhesive clings to both
<br />the subfloor and to the back of the material, the material can be considered "securely
<br />bonded."
<br />NOTE: No failure is permitted on any 72-hour bond test.
<br />5.16 Note Deleted
<br />5.17 The Grand Entrances "Helix" High Traffic Entrance Floor System with Helix Z1 Vinyl

<br />7.9 The Ross Construction Representative is to be given a one -week notice prior to the
<br />expected closing of interior framing and rough electrical. Whether or not the Ross
<br />Construction Representative is able to visit the site will not in any way alter the G.C.'s
<br />responsibility to construct all work in accordance with the approved Final Plans.
<br />7.10 Base building insulation must be sufficient to reach a minimum exterior wall "R" value
<br />of 19. Climate, codes and best engineering practice may dictate a higher level of insulation
<br />in order to achieve the tenant's requirement for an optimum energy efficient building
<br />envelope that is appropriate for the local climate and the HVAC design criteria levels. The
<br />mechanical engineer is to calculate and recommend optimum insulation levels that reflect
<br />these requirements including USDOE recommended national zone commercial building
<br />standards in the HVAC design including a requirement for double pane insulated glass.
<br />Insulation is not to be left exposed or uncovered.
<br />7.11 Walls and partitions are to be located as dimensioned in the Final Plans. All

<br />will interfere with traffic or access. In other areas of the store, rainwater leaders must be
<br />located in prior consultation with and receive the approval of the Ross Store Design Manager
<br />so as not to interfere with the layout and use of those spaces. If conflicts occur due to the
<br />failure of the G.C. and architect -of -record to obtain such prior approval then the G.C. will be
<br />liable for all costs associated with changes in the leader locations required by the Ross
<br />Construction Representative.
<br />9.5 A high capacity direct gravity storm drain connection is required as the primary drainage
<br />for the recessed truck dock well. The gravity system is to be designed to accommodate not
<br />less than the 10-year 24-hour maximum rainfall for the location or more as may be
