The contractor shall provided a written report, with photographs, documenting all damage identified by the group, no later than 10 calendar days after completion of the walkthrough for review.

The snow removal at the West Haven VA Garage shall be accomplished by using approved snow removal equipment and tools and by utilizing the snow gate and dumping area on site at the garage. These areas shall be reviewed prior to work being performed with the contractor responsible for snow removal. This shall be for the roof level of the garage where snow can accumulate during a snow event. Prior to the first snowfall of the season the contractor shall perform the below items to ensure the safety and protection of people and the Garage. Clearly mark any expansion joints that will not be visible to the operator when snow is present to prevent damage during plowing operations. Establish a snow removal logistics plan for plowing and dumping over the side at the snow gate. Foot traffic areas to be first then deck. Ensure that area where snow will be dumped is roped off and protected from pedestrian traffic. Inspect snow gate for functionality and train operator(s) on use and fall protection that may be required when gate is open. Ensure equipment used to move snow from the bottom of the snow gate to another location on campus is approved for use on sidewalks and landscaping. The following items identify the recommended process for snow removal while using a plow. Plows shall approach seams on the deck at no greater than a 75-degree angle as best as possible and reasonable To prevent premature joint failure or damage, plow shall be held up roughly 1"" from the deck surface while plowing. Piling of snow is not authorized as the Garage was not designed for snow loading. A small pile at the snow gate prior to pushing over is okay, but not for long term. The following identifies equipment that can/shall be used for snow removal on the Garage. Snow shovels can always be used. Plow trucks shall not exceed 10,000 pounds fully loaded including any salt/sanding unit. Plow cutting edges or any other snow removal blades that will come into contact with the precast surface shall have a well-maintained rubber tipper blade/edge on them. 2. De-Icing Ice will accumulate on the upper deck and lower decks from precipitation or snow/ice melt from vehicles. The use of de-icing chemicals on Precast Concrete shall be monitored closely for proper, compatible, chemicals as using the wrong product can and will adversely affect the garages efficiency and longevity. This will lead to additional maintenance costs down the road. Prior to the first freeze of the season, the Contractor performing the work will provide the following. Submit the product they intend to use with at least one (1) alternate material in the event there is a shortage on the primary material. Walk the garage with maintenance team to ensure no drains are plugged or causing any ponding on the deck. Walk the garage to review any potential areas where constant attention may be required. Chemical deicer's come in many types, but only a select few are safe for use on precast concrete surfaces. Below are the only products authorized for use. Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA) works like rock salt, but does melt snow and ice slower, but it has no adverse effect on the concrete Urea Based deicer's may also be used but require a heavier application than the CMA. Equipment for de-icing must meet the same requirement for snow removal. Any truck-based spreader shall not exceed 10,000 pounds between truck and spreader. Hand spreaders, walk behind, etc. are okay to be used and are recommended. 3.
