Paris Santa Fe-Frisco Depot Rehabilitation © KEYSTON[ ARCHIT[CTS luly 10, 2001 design, to have "integrity" means that a building still possesses much of its mass, scale, decoration, and so on, of either the period in which it was conceived and built, or the period in which it was adapted to a later style which has validity in its own right as an expression of historical character or development. The question of whether or not a building possesses integrity is largely determined by its degree of alteration. For a building to possess integrity, its principal historic features must be sufficiently intact. A building that is significant because of its historic association(s) must retain sufficient physical integrity to convey such association(s). J. Minimum Requirements: Indicated requirements are for a specific minimum acceptable level of quality/quantity, as recognized in the industry. Actual work must comply (within specified tolerances), or may exceed minimums within reasonable limits. Refer uncertainties to Architect before proceeding. K. Ordinary maintenance and repairs: Work performed on architectural materials which does not cause removal, damage or alteration of that material. L. Overlapping/Conflicting Requirements: Most stringent (generally)requirement included in the Contract Documents is intended and will be enforced, unless specifically detailed drawings or language in the Contract Documents clearly indicates that a less stringent requirement is acceptable. Refer uncertainties to TxDOT for a decision before proceeding. M. Preservation, or Preserve: the act or process of applying measures to sustain the existing form, integrity, and material of a building or stxucture, and the existing form and vegetative cover of a site, It may include initial stabilization work, where necessary, as well as ongoing maintenance Of the historic building materials. N. Project Site: Space available to Contractor at location of Project, to be shared with separate contractors, for performance of the Work. O.

Protection, or Protect: the act or process of applying measures designed to affect the physical condition of a protlerty by defending or guarding .it from deterioration, loss, or attack, or to cover or shield the Property from dangerous injury, in the case of buildings and structures, such treatment is geuemlly of a temporary nature and anticipates future historic preservation, on treatment; in the case of archeological sites, the protective measure may be temporary or permanent. R. Reconstruction: the act or process of reproducing by new construction the exact form and detail of a vanished building, building component, or object, or a part thereof, as it appeared at a specific period of time. S. Refurbish: To re-utilize the existing material or object for its original purpose. T.
