Preparation – General

Cover and protect finished work and surfaces not to be painted, including all porches and decks.

Use drop cloths of adequate size to protect adjacent areas.

Remove hardware, hardware accessories, machined surfaces, plates, lighting fixtures, and similar items in place and not to be painted, or provide surface applied protection. Reinstall removed items when final coat is thoroughly dry.

All surfaces to receive paint shall be thoroughly cleaned and prepared to allow proper adhesion of new paint.

Do not paint over dirt, rust, scale, grease, moisture, voids and blemishes, or other conditions detrimental to formation of a durable paint film.

Mix and prepare painting materials in accordance with manufacturer's directions.

Application – General

The number of coats specified herein are considered to be a minimum. Apply sufficient coats to completely cover substrate, eliminating shadowing, lap marks, and poor color matching.

Use brush, spray, or roller application. Follow manufacturer's directions. Spread material evenly, without run, sags, brush marks, streaks, laps, skips, or paint pile-ups. Do not apply top coats until previous coat has been inspected and accepted. Cut sharp lines against unpainted items, pre-finished materials, and different colors.

Prevent accidental spilling of paint materials and, in the event of such spill, immediately remove all spilled material and the waste or other equipment used to clean up the spill, and wash the surfaces back to their original undamaged condition, or refinish, all at no additional cost to the Government.

During progress of work, do not allow the accumulation of empty containers or other excess items except in areas specifically set aside for that purpose.

All faces and edges are to be painted. Faces and edges of trim are to be painted with trim color.

Use techniques best suited for substrate and type of material being applied.

Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture same as similar exposed surfaces. Paint surfaces behind permanently-fixed equipment or furniture with prime coat only.

Paint back sides of access panels and removable or hinged covers to match exposed surfaces.

Finish access panels, grilles, registers, and similar items in the same color as their surroundings.

Finish exterior doors on tops, bottoms, and side edges same as exterior faces.

Apply materials at not less than manufacturer's recommended spreading rate, to establish a total dry film thickness as recommended by the manufacturer.

Drying Time: Minimum time recommended by manufacturer. Do not apply succeeding coats until the undercoat is thoroughly dry.

Sanding: Lightly sand between coats to ensure that surface finish is smooth to the touch. Exterior stained siding, soffits, fascia, and rough-sawn material need not be sanded.

Apply additional coats when undercoats, stains, or other conditions show through final coat of paint.

Final finish shall have uniform color and appearance.

Color Mis-Matches: Where touch-ups or succeeding coats do not match adjacent color, repaint entire surface to a break point approved by CO.

outside of these limits. Material which falls outside of these limits shall be retrieved, disposed of, or incorporated in the work as directed by the Contracting Officer.

(b) Prevention of Oil Spills. If the Contractor maintains storage facilities for oil or oil products onsite, appropriate preventive measures shall be taken to insure that any spill of such oil or oil products does not enter any stream or other waters of the United States or any of the individual States. Servicing of all equipment shall be done only in the area approved by the Contracting Officer. If the total oil or oil products storage exceeds 5000 liters (1,320 gallons) or if any single container exceeds a capacity of 2500 liters (660 gallons), the Contractor shall prepare a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan. Such plan shall meet applicable EPA requirements (40 CFR 112) including certification by a registered professional engineer. The Contractor will be required to make reasonable attempts to preserve the scenic and natural environment along this construction project.

(c) Trash and Refuse - Contractor shall remove all of his own trash and refuse from the contract area.

Material to be removed includes, but is not limited to; used engine oil, oil filters, oil cans, grease cartridges, camp refuse such as tin cans, paper, garbage, etc. This material must be removed to a State, County, or Municipality-designated solid waste disposal area.

(d) Erosion Prevention and Control - Contractors operations shall be conducted reasonably to minimize soil erosion. Equipment shall not be operated when ground conditions are such that excessive damage will result. The kinds and intensity of erosion control work done by the Contractor shall be adjusted to ground and weather conditions and the need for controlling runoff. Erosion control work shall be kept current immediately proceeding expected seasonal periods of precipitation or runoff.

If the Contractor fails to do seasonal erosion control work prior to any seasonal period of precipitation or runoff, the Government may (1) by contract or otherwise, perform erosion control work and charge to the Contractor any cost incurred by the Government that is directly related to the performance of such erosion control work or (2) terminate the contract for default.

Worker’s Compensation Laws Alaska state law requires that all employers have Worker’s Compensation Insurance for their employees. The Forest Service furnishes contract award information to the Alaska Department of Labor. Failure to comply with the state worker’s compensation laws can be a felony offense in Alaska. The Alaska Workers’ Compensation Division can also fine employers up to $1,000 per employee for each day they are conducting business with employee labor without the required insurance.

Delivery of added items shall continue at the same rate that like items are called for under the contract, unless the parties otherwise agree.

FAR 52.225-9 Buy American Act-Construction Materials (MAY 2014)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause-- “Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item”—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is—

(i) A commercial item (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition at FAR 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

“Component” means an article, material, or supply incorporated directly into a construction material.

“Construction material” means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item

brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

“Cost of components” means--

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

“Domestic construction material” means—

(1) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;

(2) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if—

(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.

“Foreign construction material” means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

“United States” means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.

(1) This clause implements the 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the component test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS item. (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)).

The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows: ______ [Contracting Officer to list applicable excepted materials or indicate “none”]

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American statute is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;

(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American statute to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American statute.

(1)

(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including--

(A) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;

(B) Unit of measure;

(C) Quantity;

(D) Price;

(E) Time of delivery or availability;

(F) Location of the construction project;

(G) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and

(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause.

(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.

(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American statute applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material.

However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this clause.

(3) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American statute applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American statute.

(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on unreasonable cost, the Contractor shall include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:
