4.1 Surface Preparation for Painting of Exterior and Interior Kennels (Floors and Walls) and Sidewalks Note: Both the Main Kennel and the Isolation Kennel were built in 1993 and lead paint was banned in 1978. The original paint, what is left of it, is lead-free – most of it has been washed off or has flaked off.

Kennel Buildings and Kennels (Exterior)

-- Prep all exterior surfaces for painting. Walls should be scraped and sanded to create a bonding surface. Surfaces should be dry, clean and free of any dirt or foreign matter. Caulk joints and/or surfaces where dissimilar materials are joined. Extensive preparation (i.e.: bead/shot/sandblasting, scraping, power wash, etc.) may be required. Any chemicals being used must be provided to the government prior to use.

-- Stucco patch where necessary on stucco walls, and refill textured areas.

-- Prime/Seal all exterior CMU block and concrete surfaces prior to paint application. Removal of existing epoxy coating as per specifications. Primer must be applied in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.

Kennels (Interior) -- Prep all interior kennel surfaces (to include drain channels) for painting. Walls should be scraped and sanded to create a bonding surface. Surfaces should be dry, clean and free of any dirt or foreign matter. Caulk joints and/or surfaces where dissimilar materials are joined. Extensive preparation (i.e.: bead/shot/sandblasting, scraping, power wash, etc.) may be required. Any chemicals being used must be provided to the government prior to use.

-- Stucco patch where necessary on stucco walls, and refill textured areas.

-- Removal of existing epoxy coating as per specifications. Prime/Seal all interior CMU block and concrete surfaces prior to paint application. Primer must be applied in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.

4.2 Paint Surfaces for Exterior and Interior Kennels (Floors and Walls) and Sidewalks After surface preparation is complete, the floors should be applied with two coats of Sherwin-Williams ArmorSeal 1000 HS Epoxy or equivalent, color Haze Gray, with anti-slip additive added only for the sidewalks/walkways (interior/exterior). Paint applications should be in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. The remaining floors (areas where the dogs are housed) will not have the anti-slip additive added to protect the canines’ paws.

After surface preparation is complete, the exterior and interior walls should be painted with two coats of Sherwin-Williams Tile-Clad Epoxy or equivalent, color Haze Gray, with no anti-slip additive added. Paint applications should be in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications.

Additionally, the contractor is not required to move/remove office furniture and equipment as needed to perform interior painting.

The kennels are painted with a stenciled number, which the government is not requiring for the vendor to paint after the painting is dry.

Kennel Buildings and Kennels (Exterior) -- Paint and texture exterior walls, to include front, rear, and side elevations. Paint must be weather resistant, durable and resist sun fade. Texture should resemble that of an applied or "stucco" finish. Textured surface must be similar in appearance to that of adjacent kennel building.

Kennel Buildings (Interior)

-- Paint and texture exterior kennel walls, to include front, rear, and side elevations with exception of individual kennel runs. Paint remaining interior surfaces, to include all doors, frames, and exposed wood surfaces. Apply coating/paint to all interior CMU block and concrete surfaces.
