b. Remove surface irregularities such as weld spatter, burrs, or sharp edges, prior to specified surface preparation.

2. Depth of profile shall be as specified for each system, but in no instance shall it exceed one-third of the total dry-film thickness of complete system.

3. Prepare only those areas which will receive the first coat of the system on the same day.

B. Metals

1. The minimum abrasive blasting surface preparation shall be as indicated in the coating system sheets included at the end of this Section. Where there is a conflict between these specifications and the coating MANUFACTURER’s printed recommendations for the intended service, the higher degree of cleaning shall apply.

2. All sharp edges shall be rounded or chamfered, and all burrs, surface defects, and weld splatter shall be ground smooth prior to blast cleaning.

3. The type and size of abrasive shall be selected to produce a surface profile that meets the system sheet requirements for the particular coating and service conditions. Abrasives for submerged and severe service coating systems shall be clean, hard, sharp cutting crushed slag. Automated blasting systems shall not be used for surfaces that will be in submerged service. Metal shot or grit shall not be used for surfaces that will be in submerged service, even if subsequent abrasive blasting is planned to be one with hard, sharp cutting crushed slag.

4. Abrasive shall not be reused unless an automated blasting system is used for surfaces that will be in non-submerged service. For automated blasting systems, clean oil-free abrasives shall be maintained. The abrasive mix shall include at least 50 percent grit.

5. The CONTRACTOR shall comply with the applicable federal, state, and local air pollution control regulations for blast cleaning.

8. Enclosed areas and other areas where dust settling is a problem shall be vacuum cleaned and wiped with a tack cloth.

9. Damaged or defective coating shall be removed by the blast cleaning to meet the clean surface requirements before recoating.

10. If the required abrasive blast cleaning will damage adjacent work, the area to be cleaned is less than 100 square feet, and the coated surface will not be submerged in service, then SSPC SP2 or SSPC SP3 may be used.

11. Shop applied coatings of unknown composition shall be completely removed before the indicated coatings are applied. Valves, castings, ductile iron pipe, and fabricated pipe or equipment shall be examined for the presence of shop-applied temporary coatings. Temporary coatings shall be completely removed by solvent cleaning per SSPC SP1 before the abrasive blast cleaning work is started.

12. Shop primed equipment shall be solvent cleaned in the field before finish coats are applied.

3.04 APPLICATION:

A. CONTRACTOR shall apply coatings in accordance with coating MANUFACTURER’s recommendations. Materials shall be thoroughly stirred, strained, and kept at uniform consistency during application. Coatings from different MANUFACTURERs shall not be mixed together.

B. Use properly designed brushes, rollers, and spray equipment for all applications.

C. On unprimed surfaces apply first coat of the system the same day as surface preparation.

D. Cleaned surfaces and all coats shall be inspected prior to each succeeding coat. The CONTRACTOR shall schedule such inspection with the DISTRICT in advance.

E. Blast cleaned ferrous metal surfaces shall be painted before any rusting or other deterioration of the surface occurs. Blast cleaning shall be limited to only those surfaces that can be coated in the same working day.

F. Special attention shall be given to edges, angles, weld seams, flanges, nuts and bolts, and other places where insufficient film thicknesses are likely to be present. Use stripe painting for these areas.

G. Dry-film thickness of each system shall be at least as thick as the minimum specified.

2. Wind velocities for exterior applications shall be at a minimum to prevent overspray or fallout and not greater than coating MANUFACTURER’s limits.

3. Relative humidity must be less than 85% and the temperature of the surface to be painted must be at least five (5) degrees above the dew point.

4. Provide adequate ventilation in all areas of application to ensure that at no time does the content of air exceed the Threshold Limit Value given on the MANUFACTURER’s Material Safety Data Sheets for the specific coatings being applied.

J. Recoat Time: In the event a coating, such as an epoxy, has exceeded its recoat time limit, prepare the previously applied coating in accordance with MANUFACTURER’s recommendations.

K. Protection:

1. Cover or otherwise protect surfaces not to be painted. Remove protective materials when appropriate.

2. Mask, remove, or otherwise protect finish hardware, machined surfaces, grilles, lighting fixtures, and prefinished units as necessary.

3. Provide cover or shields to prevent surface preparation media and coatings from entering orifices in electrical or mechanical equipment. Where ventilation systems must be kept in operation at time of surface preparation, take precautions to shield intakes and exhausts to prevent the materials from entering system or being dispersed.

4. Provide signs to indicate fresh paint areas.

5. Provide daily cleanup of both storage and working areas and removal of all paint refuse, trash, rags, and thinners. Dispose of leftover containers, thinners, rags, brushes, and rollers that cannot be reused in accordance with applicable regulations.

6. Do not remove or paint over equipment data plates, code stamps on piping, or UL fire-rating labels.

3.05 INSPECTION:

A. CONTRACTOR shall provide and use a wet-film gauge to check each application approximately every fifteen (15) minutes in order to immediately correct film thickness under or over that specified.

B. On ferrous surfaces, measurements shall be made with one of the thickness gauges listed below. The gauge shall be calibrated on metal practically identical in composition and surface preparation to that being coated and be of substantially the same thickness, except that for measurements on metal thicker than 1/4 inch, the instrument may be calibrated on metal with a minimum thickness of 1/4 inch. When calibrating any of the gauges for making film measurements of over three (3) mils, the calibrating thickness standards (shims) shall be of non-metallic composition. Where only one thickness criterion is specified, the calibrating shim thickness shall closely approximate the specified thickness, but where both thicknesses are specified, the shim's thickness shall closely approximate an average of the two.

Calibrating instructions, thickness standards and, in the case of the Mikrotest gauge, a calibrating tool, should obtained from the MANUFACTURER or supplier of the gauge. Authorized thickness gauges are:

1. General Electric, Type B, General Electric Company

2. Mikrotest, Elektrophysik - Koln

3. Elcometer, Elcometer Instruments, Ltd.

4. Inspector Gage, Elcometer Instruments, Ltd.

5. Minitector, Elcometer Instruments, Ltd.

C. Use holiday or pinhole detector on systems over metal substrates to detect and correct voids when indicated on system sheet.

D. Furnish a sling psychrometer and perform periodic checks on both relative humidity and temperature limits.

E. Check temperature of the substrate at regular intervals to be certain surface is five (5) degrees Fahrenheit or more above the dew point.

3.06 CLEANING AND REPAIRS:

A. Remove spilled, dripped, or splattered paint from surfaces.

The District also reserves the right to reject all Bids if subsequent negotiations with qualified Respondents result in costs over the engineer's construction estimate. In addition, the District reserves the right to increase, decrease, or delete any class, item, or part of the Work in order to reduce costs for any reason. The District may discuss alternatives for reducing the cost of the Work with Respondents and make such modifications as it determines to be in its best interest.
