3.12 REUSE OF EXISTING CONDUIT
A. General

1. Existing conduit is to be used as a pathway only where so shown on the drawings.

2. Prior to beginning work involving the use of an existing conduit, the Contractor shall consult with the City’s Representative in order to establish whether or not the conduit contains active service.

3. If no active service exists within the conduit, all cable is to be removed, and work is to proceed.

4. If active service does exist within the conduit and it has been determined that service needs to be disrupted, then work on that conduit shall not proceed until a schedule of service outage has been established by City’s Representative. Once given direction to proceed, the Contractor shall within the time period of one (1) working day; remove the old cable, install, terminate and test the new cables, and notify the City’s Representative the work using the specific conduit has been completed. The City’s Representative shall be responsible for the disconnection and reconnecting of the active service cross-connects within the terminal closet(s).

B. Conduit preparation procedure:

1. Remove existing wires and cables (if any).

2. Run a mandrel ½" smaller than the inside diameter of the conduit through the conduit receiving new wires and cables.

3. If the specified size mandrel will not pass through the existing conduit, start with a smaller size mandrel and increase mandrel size until the specified sized mandrel will pass.

4. Run a wire brush and clean rag with an outside diameter 1/8" larger than the inside of the conduit through the conduit receiving new wires and cables.

5. Repeat above until conduit is clean and materials detrimental to the wire and cables to be installed no longer exit conduit with the clean rag.

3.13 WIREWAY INSTALLATION
A. Install complete wireway system at electronic security systems backboards, including track, cover plate, device boxes, inside and outside elbows, splice plates, T’s, transitions and extension rings and end caps as required.

B. Any existing surface raceway and/or exposed cabling along the indicated pathway of the raceway to be installed shall be removed prior to the installation of the new raceway. If the existing cabling contains active service, then Contractor shall consult with the City’s Representative as to how best maintain the existing service before proceeding with the work.

C. Provide and install the proper factory fabricated corners, support clips, end connectors, etc. as required.

D. Corners and joints are to be cut neatly and finished using connector components of specified system. Where components are not available using specified system, to meet requirements of drawings, provide cleanly mitered joints, EMT and/or surface backboxes specified elsewhere herein.

E. All installed surface raceway shall be inspected for marks, scratches, gaps between sections or improper fitting of connector parts. All such damage shall be repaired to the City’s Representatives satisfaction, or the raceway shall be removed and replaced.

F. Remove sharp corners and edges prior to installation of cable.

G. Attachment of raceway to walls, floors, and partitions:

1. Attach raceway to the supporting surface with mechanical fasteners applied to building structure per the most restrictive of manufacturer's directions, Code, or these provisions.

2. All surface raceway shall be installed so that its edges are parallel to the vertical or horizontal edge of the surface on which they are mounted. All surface raceway, found not to be installed in this manner, shall be removed and re- installed correctly.

3. Surface raceway shall be secured at 2’-0” intervals (2 spaced screws for 2" and wider raceways) with wood screws into wooden framing or self drilling wall anchors (ITWBildex “Heavy Duty E-Z Toggle”, no known equal) into sheetrock or plastic inserts with pre-assembled drive screw for concrete (ITT-HOLUB “HI- DRIVE” nail anchors, no known equal) Powder (explosive charge) driven anchors are not acceptable. The use of adhesives as the sole means for fastening to any surface is not allowed.

4. Screws used in fastening surface raceway shall be no less than 3/4" in length.
