Wayfinding and Signage Improvements Project - Technical Specifications

This document is a technical specifications file for the City of Dripping Springs, Texas, detailing requirements for the Wayfinding and Signage Improvements Project. The project encompasses the furnishing and installation of wayfinding signage throughout the city, including all necessary materials, equipment, labor, decorative metal components, dimensional lettering, mounting hardware, and installation services. The scope requires bidders to provide comprehensive project delivery including traffic control, site restoration, permit coordination, and sealed professional engineering documents. Bidders must acknowledge all addenda and submit documentation demonstrating compliance with the technical specifications outlined in the file, which covers design standards, material requirements, installation protocols, and quality assurance measures for the signage system.

The technical specifications establish detailed requirements for sign fabrication, finish specifications, structural engineering standards, and installation methodologies to ensure consistency and durability of the wayfinding system. The specifications address material composition, color standards, dimensional tolerances, mounting systems, and performance criteria for all signage components. Bidders are required to demonstrate capability in meeting these technical standards through shop drawings and sealed professional engineering documents. The file serves as the baseline for bid evaluation, with all pricing and contract terms contingent upon full compliance with the specifications provided. No specific award date, contract term, or pricing information is contained within the technical specifications document itself, as these elements would be addressed in the related bid documents and contract award notice.

3. Verify that required repairs are complete, cured, and dry before applying water repellent.

B. Test pH level according to water-repellent manufacturer's written instructions to ensure chemical bond to silica-containing or siliceous minerals.

3.2 PREPARATION

A. New Construction and Repairs: Allow concrete and other cementitious materials to age before application of water repellent, according to repellent manufacturer's written instructions.

B. Cleaning: Before application of water repellent, clean substrate of substances that could impair penetration or performance of product according to water-repellent manufacturer's written instructions.

C. Coordination with Mortar Joints: Do not apply water repellent until pointing mortar for joints adjacent to surfaces receiving water-repellent treatment has been installed and cured.

D. Coordination with Sealant Joints: Do not apply water repellent until sealants for joints adjacent to surfaces receiving water-repellent treatment have been installed and cured.

1. Water-repellent work may precede sealant application only if sealant adhesion and compatibility have been tested and verified using substrate, water repellent, and sealant materials identical to those required.

3.3 APPLICATION

A. Manufacturer's Field Service: Engage a factory-authorized service representative to inspect the substrate before application of water repellent and to instruct Applicator on the product and application method to be used.
