15) Subsection C.1.7.1.10 – SDT.

SDT cleaning frequency is amended to no more than once a month. As a result, section C.1.7.1.10, SDT, shall read as follows:

“C.1.7.1.10 SDT

Static dissipative vinyl tile flooring, 12” x 12”. SDT shall be cleaned no more than once a month. Access will be agreed upon during the review of the workforce schedule/program as stated in Section F.5.

(a) Regular Maintenance

i. Sweep, dust mop or vacuum the floor daily to remove dust, dirt, grit and debris that can damage the floor and become ground into the surface.

ii. Spot mop as needed. Any spills should be cleaned up immediately.

iii. Damp mopping of the floor should be performed on a regular or daily basis depending upon traffic and soil levels in the space. Use a properly diluted neutral (pH 6 to 8) detergent solution.

(b) Periodic Maintenance

i. When needed, after sweeping, dust mopping or vacuuming, machine scrub the floor with a properly diluted neutral (pH 6 to 8) detergent solution and the appropriate scrubbing pad (3M™ red or equal for light scrub, 3M™ blue or equal for a deep scrub) or equivalent brushes.

ii. Thoroughly rinse the entire floor with fresh, clean water.

Remove rinse water and allow the floor to dry completely.

iii. Heavy-traffic areas may require extra coats of floor polish on a more frequent basis. If needed, additional coats of floor polish should be applied at this time. The floor may also be spray buffed to restore gloss and peak electrical performance. Spray a diluted solution of floor polish (1 part FP to 2 parts water) onto the floor. Before the liquid can dry, buff it with a floor machine capable of 175 to 1100 rpm, equipped with a buffing pad or brush (3M™ white pad or equal or equivalent brush).”
