• If delays or work stoppage are encountered, due to any reason, the contractor shall document them in the daily inspection report for the COR and Contracting Officer to evaluate and consider schedule modifications.

2.2 SURFACE PREPARATION

2.2.1 Intent: This work section shows some examples that the contractor may have under these requirements to blast grit and apply coating applications in the following table:

Interior Space Type Interior Space Type Exterior Substrate Type *Ballast *Bilges *Underwater Body *Fuel Tank Tank Tops *Freeboard *Potable Water Tank *Decks *Superstructure *Sewage Tank Bulkheads *Decks *Grey Water Tank Overheads *Mast *Chain Locker

*Stacks

Hawser Pipe

*Pedestals *Bulkheads *Foundations Misc.

* Designates Critical Coated Surfaces

2.2.2 CRITICAL COATED SURFACES: Areas where premature failure of the coating system cannot be detected by routine observation due to inaccessibility, or areas where restoration of a failed system cannot be undertaken without laying up the ship at an industrial facility or a forward repair site; or areas where restoration of a failed system may subject a vessel to a loss of operational days, in addition to resulting in avoidable repair costs.

2.3 GRIT BLASTING, GRIT REMOVAL, AND DISPOSAL

2.3.1 Grit Blasting: The contractor shall complete all grit blasting to a SSPC-SP 10 Near-White Metal Blasting Clean Standard. If abrasive blasting is not possible or feasible to meet the SSPC-SP 10 standard, the contractor must meet the SSPC-SP 11 Bare Metal Power Tool Clean Standard. Containment must be always maintained 100%. The contractor shall provide all heaters and dehumidifiers necessary to maintain or preserve bare metal.

2.3.1.1 SSPC-SP 10 Standard: NACE No. 2/SSPC-SP-10: Near-White Commercial Blast Cleaning. This standard conveys the requirements for cleaning a steel surface, painted or unpainted, with the use of abrasive blast media. It also includes instructions for achieving and verifying the standard’s required end condition.

As with a commercial blast, the prepared surface must be free, when viewed without magnification, of visible oil, dust, dirt, grease, mill scale, rust, coating, oxides, corrosion, and other foreign matter, except for a limited amount of acceptable staining. Unlike with a commercial blast, only five percent of each area unit, as defined by the standard, may exhibit staining. This five percent may consist of light shadows, slight streaks minor discolorations that could be the result of exposure to rust, mill scale, or of a previous coating.

2.3.1.2 SSPC-SP 11 Standard: Power Tool Cleaning to Bare Metal. This standard describes the requirements for taking a surface to bare metal, while ensuring a minimum surface profile of 1 mil (25.4 microns). It is used in situations where abrasive blasting is not possible or feasible. Unlike SP-3, this standard requires the creation or preservation of a surface profile. Unlike SP-15, this standard does not allow for stains from mill scale, rust, or paint to remain on the surface.

2.3.2 Grit Removal: The contractor shall remove all used blast media from working area at end of each working day. The contractor is responsible for the removal, storage, and disposal of used blast media. The contractor is responsible for all media removal regardless of moisture content. Upon final inspection, contractor is responsible for removing, all solid wastes, wet or dry blast grit, residue, debris, rags, and cleaning liquid. A Bill of Lading (BOL) shall be provided for all non-hazardous blast media that is removed.

The BOL must be signed by YARD Environmental Staff, COR or other YARD representative. For the removal of hazardous blast media a Hazardous Waste manifest shall be provided and signed by YARD Environmental Staff only. The Contractor shall not remove Waste without the proper signature.

2.3.3 Grit Sampling: The grit from each vessel shall be collected and analyzed prior to the first load being removed. The contractor shall collect the grit sample and provide that sample to the YARD Environmental Department for analysis. The Contractor must complete this collection and analysis process only once per vessel.

2.3.4 Grit Disposal: The Contractor shall be responsible for the disposal of all used or unused blast media.

No used blast media shall be disposed of on site. The Contractor must include all disposal costs of blast media in its pricing. The contractor must provide the Government with a copy of the certification for the permitted site for grit blast disposal. The contractor must comply with all Federal, state and local laws and regulations for such disposal.

2.3.5 Inspection: The contractor shall give 24 hours’ notice to COR after grit blast surface preparation, to allow CG Yard NACE inspector or COR to visually inspect all surfaces; including, but not limited to bulkheads, floor and overhead plating, structural members, fasteners, tanks and gasket seating surfaces.

2.3.6 Repairs: The contractor shall report any hull or fitting damage or need for repairs identified during work or during a post grit blasting inspection to the COR or other USCG designee. If the Ship Supervisor determines that correction is necessary, the contracting officer will instruct the contractor, directly or through the COR, regarding suspensions, curtailing or shifting of work to other areas and negotiate changes for additional cost or schedule changes with the contractor that will be reduced to task order or contract modifications.

2.3.7 Re-Grit Blast Structural Repairs: The COR will submit a Change Request (CR) for the additional structural repair areas requiring additional surface preparation. The contractor will provide a proposal for grit blasting any surface areas repaired, replaced or welded as a result of a CFR procedure to support the COR’s request. The contracting Officer will negotiate all schedule changes and additional cost to the contractor and reduce changes to task order or contract modifications.

2.4 CONTAINMENT

2.4.1 Containment: The Contractor shall provide, install and maintain containment to capture 100% of blast media, blast media dust, paints and other solids during the blasting and painting operations.

2.4.1.1 Containment inspection: Inspection of the containment shall be conducted by the Contractor as an ongoing process before, during and after sandblasting to ensure its integrity. During blasting/painting phase, if containment is breached in any manner, the contractor shall reestablish it immediately. If the containment cannot be fully reestablished immediately, the contractor shall halt work until it reestablishes 100% containment. The containment shall be inspected and deemed acceptable by the COR before any further operations. The containment must not allow any blast media, blast media dust, paint chips or other materials to escape the area contained.

2.4.1.2 Regulations: The Coast Guard Yard has a discharge permit from the State of Maryland that does not allow any blast media or other materials to be discharged into the waters of the State. In the event the Contractor creates an unsafe work environment that results in a cessation of CG Yard work operations, the USCG may hold the contractor responsible and may pursue a claim for the work delay. The contractor must report any blast material found outside the containment area to the COR immediately.

The COR shall notify the Coast Guard Yard Facilities Management, Environmental Branch. The USCG claim against the contractor may include the value of any fines imposed upon the Yard due to Contractor violations of the Yard’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge or other permits.

2.4.2 Containment Removal: The contractor shall not remove any containment without first receiving authorization from the COR. Scaffolding must be free of all grit blast residue prior to removal of the plastic.

Containment material will be disposed of only IAW all Federal, State and Local laws and regulations.

CHECKPOINT 6 - PRIMER COAT APPLICATION

Verify environmental conditions (see CHECKPOINT 3).

Verify proper mixing and stand-in (induction) times.

Ensure no paint is applied when the temperature is expected to drop to freezing before the paint has dried.

Ensure surfaces are completely dry, unless otherwise allowed by the coating manufacturer(s).

Verify wet film thickness (WFT) at random, to prevent under or over application. Verify final DFT.

Brush out all runs, sags, drips, and puddles.

Perform visual inspection for holidays and other defects.

CHECKPOINT 7 – STRIPE COAT APPLICATION

Verify environmental conditions (see CHECKPOINT 3).

Ensure overcoating window is as per manufacturer’s instructions.

After primer coat (mist coat after inorganic zinc), brush-apply un-thinned coat of same primer paint over edges, weld seams, cut-outs, and areas of complex geometries @ 3-4 mils wet film thickness (WFT).

CHECKPOINT 8 – TOP COAT APPLICATION

Verify environmental conditions (see CHECKPOINT 3).

Ensure overcoating window is as per manufacturer’s instructions.

Verify proper mixing and stand-in (induction) times, as applicable.

Verify wet film thickness at random, to prevent under or over application.

Brush out all runs, sags, drips, and puddles.

CHECKPOINT 9 – FINAL INSPECTION

Verify final system dry film thickness. Conduct 5 sets of 3 readings for each of the first 3 100-sqft areas, followed by 5 sets of 3 readings for each succeeding 1000-sqft area.

Ensure that system cure is in accordance with manufacturer's recommendation for intended service.

Ensure potable water tank exhaust ventilation is maintained continuously from and during coating application through final system cure, to exhaust all solvent to the atmosphere and to prevent solvent entrapment.

For immersion coatings (including tank U/W body), record date and time of the following events:

Final coat application: _____/_____; Return to service or removal from environment controls: _____/_____
