SCOPE OF WORK

BACKGROUND

The City of Chandler is requesting proposals for a qualified contractor to provide all labor, materials and equipment necessary to repair canopy coating at its Airport Water Reclamation

Facility located at 905 E. Queen Creek Rd. Chandler, AZ, 85286. The existing coatings are approximately 25 years old.

A tour of the canopies will be provided after the pre-proposal meeting. It is highly recommended potential contractors attend in person to view the sites as this is likely the only opportunity to view them.

The Airport Water Reclamation Facility (AWRF) features 12 large metal canopies, some of which have been in service since 1998. These structures provide critical coverage for wastewater treatment infrastructure and help minimize glare that could affect aircraft pilots during takeoff and landing at the nearby Chandler Airport. Due to their proximity to wastewater processes and chemical storage areas, the canopies have experienced significant coating degradation over time.

This deterioration threatens both the structural integrity and aesthetic appearance of the canopies. To maintain their protective function and extend their service life, the City is seeking proposals from qualified contractors to perform coating restoration, including surface preparation, recoating, and spot repairs, in accordance with industry standards for corrosion protection and durability.

GENERAL

Contractor Identification: Contractor will have signs (magnetic is acceptable) on the doors of all vehicles with identifying company name. All employees working for the contractor in Chandler will have ID Badges and wear company uniforms on their person when on city property.

Work Area: Contractor shall keep the work area safe for all during performance of the work.

Contractor shall, upon completion of the work, leave the site in a neat and clean condition as determined by the City. Contractor shall be responsible for preventing overspray to any surface, vehicle, or property.

2. Field Coat: The application or the completion of application of the coating system after installation of the surface at the site of the Work.

3. Stripe Coat A “stripe coat” is a layer of coating applied to specific areas such as edges, welds, outside corners, bolt heads and threads, nuts, and crevices, to provide additional barrier protection. The stripe coat may be applied either before or after a layer of coating (often called a “full coat”) is applied over the entire surface being coated.

4. Shop Coat: One or more coats applied in a shop or plant prior to shipment to the site of erection or fabrication, where the field or finishing coat is applied.

5. Barrier Coat: A physical barrier, i.e. coating, between the substrate and its environment by keeping oxygen, moisture and other chemicals away from the substrate

6. Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Content: The portion of the coating that is a compound of carbon, is photochemically reactive, and evaporates during drying or curing, expressed in grams per liter or pounds per gallon.

7. Touch-Up Painting: The application of paint on areas of painted surfaces to repair marks, scratches, and areas where the coating has deteriorated to restore the coating film to an unbroken condition.

8. Painter: Installer or applicator is the person or persons actually installing or applying the coating and/or lining in the field at the Project site.

9. The term Independent AMPP CCI: The inspection body, and its staff shall not engage in any activities that may conflict with their independence of judgement and integrity in relation to their inspection activities.

AMPP.

11. Holiday: A void, crack, thin spot, foreign inclusion, or contamination in the coating film that significantly lowers the dielectric strength of the coating. May also be identified as a holiday, discontinuity or pinhole.

12. Submerged Metal: Steel or iron surfaces below tops of channel or structure walls which will contain water even when above expected water level.

13. Exposed Surface: Any metal or concrete surface, indoors or outdoors that is exposed to view.

14. Dry Film Thickness (DFT): Thickness of fully cured coating, measured in mils (1/1000 inch).

2. Existing materials specified to be painted as part of the Work shall have their surfaces prepared to meet the requirements of the painting systems specified.

C. Environmental Requirements

1. Enclosures for areas or items that may require protection from the inclement weather or other detrimental effects so the project can continue, is the responsibility of the PAINTER.

2. Surfaces to be painted shall dry to the touch and at least 5°F above the dew point temperature and rising. Apply paints only when the temperature of surfaces to be painted, paint material, and the surrounding air temperatures are between 50°F and

95°F, unless otherwise permitted by the paint manufacturer's current printed instructions.

3. Apply paint system within the shortest possible time consistent with manufacturer's approved recommended curing instructions for each coat.

4. Epoxy paints shall not be applied if ambient temperature is expected to go below 50°F within 12 hours of application. Where manufacturer's printed recommendations require a higher or permit a lower minimum ambient temperature, this can be followed with written authorization from the Owners Representative.

5. Do not apply paint in rain, fog or mist; or when the relative humidity exceeds 85 percent; to damp or wet surfaces or when surfaces will reach dew point due to falling or rising temperatures and humidity conditions during the course of the paint application, unless otherwise permitted in writing by the paint manufacturer's printed instructions.

6. Painting may continue during inclement weather only if the areas and surfaces to be painted are enclosed and ambient conditions can be maintained continuously as specified by the paint manufacturer during application and drying periods.

D. Protection:

1. Cover or otherwise protect finished Work of other trades and surfaces not being painted concurrently or not to be painted.

2. During surface preparation and painting, the facility shall remain in operation.

Employ procedures that prevent contamination of the process or cause facility shutdown.

3. Coordinate and schedule surface preparation and painting to avoid exposing employees of PAINTER, OWNER, OWNERS REPRESENTATIVE and others not involved with surface preparation and painting. Provide required personnel safety equipment in compliance with the requirements of governing authorities having jurisdiction.

4. Submit protection procedures to be employed by PAINTER to OWNER or OWNER’S

REPRESENTATIVE. Do not begin surface preparation and painting Work in any area until OWNER or OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE approves protection techniques proposed by PAINTER

5. Provide fire extinguishers and post caution signs warning against smoking and open flame when working with flammable materials.

E. All reasonable care shall be taken to protect against paint splatter and overspray.

Responsibility for any damage incurred to surrounding property resulting from this work belongs to PAINTER.

F. Signs shall be posted, as required, to alert the public of any risks associated with painting overspray, etc. All efforts shall be made to prevent debris from becoming wind blown.

G. Responsibility for obtaining any and all permits required to perform the Work belongs to

PAINTER.
