I found an additional 5 locations;(2)in the West exterior CMU <br /> wall,(2)in the East exterior CMU wall,and(1)in the South exterior brick wall. The cracks in the CMU walls do not appear to <br /> daylight through the brick veneer to the outside,but the crack in South brick wall does daylight in several places. I have <br /> highlighted these areas in an attached sketch and also provided pictures of the cracking. Please advise if any repair or <br /> replacement work needs to take place at these or other locations. Additionally there are many places in the existing CMU& <br /> brick walls the have missing or cracked mortar or holes from existing hardware that was removed. Please advise if a general <br /> point up is desired on the interior or exterior walls. <br /> Attachments <br /> photol8.jpg,pholol7jpg,photot6.jpg,photol5.jpg,photol4.jpg,photol3.jpg,photol2.jpg,photoll.jpg,photol0.jpg, <br /> photo9.jpg,photo8.jpg,photo7.jpg,photo6.jpg,photo5.jpg,photo4.jpg,photo3.jpg,photo2.jpg,photot.jpg,RFI#8-Additional <br /> Cracking of Exterior Load Bearing Masonry Walls&General Point Up.pdf <br /> Awaiting an Official Response <br /> All Replies Response from Mike Patton Mcgill Associates on Wednesday,Dec 7,2022 at 12.17 PM EST <br /> A due date of 12/10/2022 for a response from the Architect Is unreasonable. Please revise the due date to 12/16/2022 in <br /> order to allow enough time for the Architect to answer RFI. <br /> Architect/Enoineers Response <br /> The CMU cracks should at the most be caulked on the interior and left alone.For the most part these interior cracks will be covered <br /> by the insulation and gypsum board on the interior face of the building. <br /> In locations where water would penetrate the we suggest that head and bed mortar joints where these cracks are located be <br /> sawed out and properly tuck pointed to seal up the Cracks. In these areas it will most likely be necessary to do this with both the <br /> brick and CMU joint cracks.Care should be taken to color the new mortar to closely match the existing mortar sawed out. <br /> J.M.Thompson Page 1 of 1 Printed On:Dec 15,2022 03:30 PM EST <br />
