Scope of Work: Reglazing Window Sashes: Bid# 2: The work shall consist of furnishing all labor, materials and equipment required for the complete execution of all reglazing and painting of the sashes. All glazing that is not in good shape will be removed and the window reglazed. Any glazing that is cracked, loose or letting water enter behind the glazing putty is considered not in good shape. If an electric heat gun is used to loosen the putty care must be taken not to damage the sash or glass panes. Some of the panes are in excess of 200 years old. A proper heat shield should be used to protect the glass to the greatest degree. Any sash wood repairs should be done with a two‐part wood epoxy, which can be shaped and sanded to match the wood. All bare wood will be repainted with an oil based primer coat. Before being painted with an oil based primer, the glazing will be allowed to harden for a week or more until it "skins". We anticipate the use of soybean and linseed oil based elastic putties. Any other putty needs approval by the Town Building Inspector before being used. When being painted with oil based primer the glazing will be over‐painted onto the glass about 1/16th of an inch to create a proper seal. The painting of the sashes will consist of two (2) new coats of paint on all surfaces. Exposed wood surfaces shall be provided with an oil based primer coat prior to the first and second coat. Oil based primer should not be used over existing stable paint. The Contractor bidding on Bid # 2 will be responsible for; The repair of any window sashes, removal and reglazing of putty in all window sashes as needed, replacement of up to twenty (20) twenty panes of broken glass using older style glass. (We have a number of about fifty (50) panes that have small cracks in the corners. Ones with minor cracks can stay. The Town Engineer will make the determination which panes should be replaced. Replacement glass should be a pane glass that has a similar look to the existing glass. There is a separate price per pane on the bid sheet, proper preparation of sash surfaces to receive prime and finish coats including washing all surfaces to be painted to remove dirt, dust and debris prior to painting.
