Characteristics of available electricity and point of connection for both electricity and water will be identified for each work site on each delivery order. The contractor shall provide and maintain, at their own expense, the necessary temporary service lines from existing outlets to his work site. In those instances where the work site is sufficiently distant from available utilities as to make connection impractical, the contractor shall be responsible for providing the required utilities at his own expense through portable means.

SECTION A - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR PAINTING 10

The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment and tools and shall perform all operations to accomplish works under this contract at Aviano AB, Aviano, Italy and other Separated Sites (G.S.U.)

within Italy.

SECTION A - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR PAINTING 11

Use of utilities, considering the conservation of energy and water, shall be limited to the minimum necessary.

1.1.6 Traffic Control and Protection

The contractor shall place warning signs directly at the work site and at least five (5) meters ahead of the work site (in the affected traffic line) to alert approaching traffic from both directions.

Contractor or Contractor’s employees, including subcontractors, shall obey all traffic laws on installation.

The Contractor shall park all vehicles, including heavy equipment vehicles, only in unobtrusive locations within the fence line of the construction site or laydown areas, where applicable. Every effort must be made to avoid parking vehicles or heavy equipment where it can be easily observed by the public.

The Contractor shall not park outside the construction zone unless approved through BCE.

The Contractor shall clearly identify their vehicles using company logos or signs on their vehicles

1.1.7 Airfield Safety and Restricted Areas Training

To allow Contractors performing works inside the restricted areas, is mandatory for them personnel to attend the training at Bldg.1023 and receive the driving license for restricted areas and airfield.

1.1.8 Hazmat Housekeeping

Prior to bringing any hazardous material into the base, the Contractor must contact BCE to coordinate the storage and handling of all hazardous materials. Contractor is responsible for complying with all applicable environmental regulations and laws pertaining to the storage, handling, and transportation of hazardous materials and hazardous waste.

Hazardous materials: The Contractor shall identify all hazardous materials required for completion of the project.

Safety Data Sheets: The Contractor shall furnish English language versions of the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) of hazardous materials, chemical, toxic, and noxious, that will be used in the construction work, to 31st CES/CEIE for approval and coordination through SEG and SGPB. The Contracting Officer will provide sample of the SDS form to the Contractor.

Hazardous Waste Management Plan: The Contractor shall provide a hazardous waste management plan.

Chemicals Materials: The Contractor shall ensure that hazardous materials utilized during construction do not contain any chemicals listed as EPA 17 toxins. A list of the EPA 17 toxins con be obtained from the 31st CES/CEIE office.

Liquid, flammable or toxic substances: Any liquid, flammable, or any other toxic substances that are required for the execution of the works, shall be kept in properly labeled, special containers. Relative data (quantity, characteristics and location) shall be transmitted to 31st CES/CEF or 31st CES/CEIE through the Director of Works and Fire Department approval is required, see the attached Fire Department check list.

1.1.9 Project sign

The Contractor shall furnish two project signs on site, one in accordance with Section 01101 and one in accordance with Law 81/08.

The sign shown in section 01101 shall be made of a durable material and maintained in good condition.

Lettering is to be white gloss, exterior-type enamel. The sign and posts shall be given one prime coat and two finish coats of dark brown gloss exterior enamel paint. The sign shall be erected at the designated location and shall be maintained in good condition by the Contractor until completion of the

SECTION A - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR PAINTING 12

contract. The sign shall remain the property of the Contractor and shall be removed from the site upon final inspection and acceptance of the facility. Contractor identification and logo shall be allowed only on this sign and nowhere else on the exterior of the job site, except for company vehicles. Contractors shall submit sign proposal to CE for approval.

When applicable the contractor shall provide a portable sign, A3 format, showing all contract and job information included in section 01101.

1.1.10 Toilet Facilities

Contractor's personnel may use toilet facilities available in the vicinity of the work site. Contractor personnel shall ensure facility cleanliness is always preserved.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

1.2.1 Paint:

The term "paint" as used herein, includes emulsions, enamels, paints, stains, varnishes, sealers, cement-emulsion filler, and other coatings, whether used as prime, intermediate, or finish coats.

1.2.2 Pavement Markings

Pavement markings are composed of all the stripes and the inscriptions that can be found on the pavement surface with the function of prescription or indication in order to regulate the circulation of vehicles, airplane and people.

Paint will be suitable for concrete and asphalt surfaces, with properties of high adherence and high resistance to abrasion, wear, environmental agents, fuels and oils including chemical / superficial crumbling (sgretolamento) resistance to bituminous surfaces. Paints shall be characterized by very short drying times, good adhesion and elasticity, and high abrasion resistance.

1.2.3 Resin Floor

A resin floor is a hard-wearing plastic surface, created by mixing together a selection of ingredients to initiate a fast and controlled chemical reaction. The chemical reaction creates a highly durable finish, ideal for the heaviest use environments.

Three main types of resin are used to create majority of resin flooring systems: Epoxy; Methyl Methacrylate (MMA); Polyurethane (PU)

1.2.4 Wall Cladding – Insulation and finish system

The insulation and finish system are a job-fabricated exterior/interior wall covering consisting of insulation board, reinforcing fabric, base coat, finish coat, adhesive and mechanical fasteners as applicable, trim accessories, sealant, flexible-membrane flashings, water-resistant coatings, sealers and ancillary items a required for a complete system.

The system components shall be compatible with each other and with the substrate as recommended or approved by manufacturer. All materials shall be installed by an applicator approved by the system manufacturer.

1.2.5 Plaster

The plaster is a protective coating layer of the walls. In addition to its protective function, it sometimes has an aesthetic function. It is a mortar composed of a binding part (hardener) that incorporates sand with a selected granulometric size with a maximum diameter generally not greater than 2 millimeters.

Plasters are distinguished according to the binder used: lime-based plaster; lime-cement plaster; plaster

SECTION A - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR PAINTING 13

based on gypsum, where the binder is exclusively gypsum; plaster based on clay, where the only binder is clay

1.2.6 Reinforced Concrete Restoration

The reconstruction or renewal of concrete parts of an existing structure for its maintenance or to correct deterioration, damage, or faulty.

Reinforced concrete restoration consists of four basic steps: 1. Determine the cause(s) of damage; 2.

Select the repair method and material; 3. Prepare the existing concrete surfaces and steel bars, by removing deteriorated conglomerate and bars cleaning by brushing or sandblasting; 4. Cure the repair properly with a passivating treatment of reinforcing rods and installation of concrete mortar to restore concrete and final finishing.

1.3 CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATIONS

1.3.1 SOA Certifications
