Standard Painting Procedure for U.S.- Government Properties.

(2008)

a) The successful contractor must comply with the brand and type of paint specified for the project. If the specified paints are unavailable, their equivalent may be used subject to the approval of the Facilities Maintenance Manager or his assignee. Where brand and type of paint and material are not specified, bidders must specify and use brand and type of paint and material of high quality with anti-fungus / mold / algae properties. Failure to do so will render their bids null and void. Colors of the paint used are to be the same as the existing colors unless specified otherwise.

b) Concrete floor, when specified to be painted, are to be coated with a minimum of 2 coats of “I.C.I. Floor Paint” or its equivalent if approved by the Facilities Maintenance Manager.

c) Where applicable, the contractor shall ease all doors and windows that are to be re-painted;

i.e. plane down leading surfaces of doors and windows so that they will not bind when the new paint work is completed. Only electric or hand plane may be used for this kind of work on timber surfaces.

After this phase has been completed, the timber surfaces should be sanded with fine sandpaper to smooth edges and remove all splinters.

d) Blowlamps should only be used to burn off old coats of paint on metal surfaces. During such operation, fire extinguishers must be handily available to the operators. Where possible, it is preferable to use chemical paint removers.

e) For proper adhesion, all woodwork and metalwork must be properly sanded, cleaned, and rendered dust, oil and mildew free prior to repainting. All surfaces with mildew growth must be treated with an anti-mildew solution to eliminate recurring mildew growth. All rusted metalwork must be properly sanded or chemically cleaned to remove flaked paint and rust. Unless otherwise specified, all woodwork and metalwork must be finished with 2 coats of ICI outdoor enamel paint.

f) The appropriate sealers, primers and base coats must be applied on all bare substrate prior to the application of the finish coats. For compatibility, such preparatory coatings must be the manufacturer-specified constituents of a complete paint system of the final finish.

g) Arrangement must be made with the Facilities Maintenance Manager or his assignee to inspect all prepared surfaces prior to each subsequent application of sealer, primer, and finish coats.

The contractor can only apply the relevant subsequent coat after each inspection and approval by the Facilities Maintenance Manager or his assignee. Such period of inspection must not exceed the frequency of twice a day.

h) The contractor must ensure adequate paint coverage on all painted surfaces to obtain a good and even color throughout.

i) All recommendations on the procedure and usage by the manufacturer of the paint and other material used in this project must be strictly adhered to.

j) Unless specified otherwise, the contractor shall provide labor and equipment to remove furniture and roll up carpets, if so required, in order to facilitate his painting operation. Such furniture and carpet must be relocated to their original position after the completion of the painting work, unless instructed otherwise.

k) Prior to any painting work, all fittings such as power points, switches, door handles, lamp fittings, faucets, etc. must be properly masked to prevent paint marring their surfaces. Masking shall be carried out with covers, masking tape, paper, or masking cream as appropriate. The contractor must also provide for the removal of stains, if any, caused by the masking material.

l) Masking material used on sprinkler heads, public address system, smoke and heat detectors, and all other safety devices must be removed immediately after each painting session. If such safety devices were removed to facilitate painting work, they must be re-installed and checked for effectiveness and proper working order immediately after reinstallation. This is to ensure that the devices are in position and in good working order when the area is unattended.

m) Proper covering materials must also be provided when painting operation is in progress. Paint drips on floor and furniture, etc. must be removed and cleaned by the contractor at his expense.

Failure to use such drop sheets may result in the cancellation of contract.

n) All paint stains and drips on floor, glass panels, electrical and sanitary fittings, and door and window hardware in the repainting area will be the responsibility of the contractor to remove. No excuse will be accepted for paint on any surface for which it was not intended. The status of the stain or drip being new or old from a past painting project does not absolve the contractor from this responsibility.

o) The contractor must provide all tools, material, and equipment to complete the work specified in the scope of work. This includes all necessary safety equipment to comply with the regulations of the local authorities.
