Material Overview and Fabrication Specifications

High Density Foam (HDU) for NPS Park Identity Signs:

Panel Material:

Sign panels are to be constructed of high density urethane closed cell rigid foam with a minimum density of 20 lbs per cubic foot. The contractor must select a type of HDU foam that is widely used in the outdoor sign industry and follow all manufacturers specifications for painting, routing, and hardware attachment.

Panel Size:

Sign panel shall be fabricated based on dimensions and format specified in the Sign Drawing Package. Panel sizes, specifica-tions, dimensions, typography, color, and proportions shall not be altered.

Panel Assembly:

Each panel shall be constructed from a single piece of HDU foam, sealed and finished on all sides. Splicing or joining of foam sheets is not acceptable.

Panel thickness prior to painting shall be 1-1/2". All surfaces shall be finish sanded smooth and face and back edges shall rounded to a radius of 1/8".

Graphic Layout:

Graphic layout of panels shall be as shown on the attached drawings. Graphics to be accurately reproduced from plotted outline template or directly from computer to router based on full size digital vector art. Contractor shall use an accurate grid to ensure layout is aligned vertically and horizontally.

Typography shall be NPS Rawlinson Heavy and Frutiger Bold as shown on attached drawings. Typography shall not be altered, manipulated, or changed. Substitute fonts shall not be used.

NPS Rawlinson Heavy shall be Machine-routed unless other-wise specified with a 90 degree “V" router bit with a 1/8" vertical, flat sidewall inset. Routed letters shall conform to the same size artwork. Routing depth shall be uniform. Corners of type smaller than 3" cap height shall have a radius no greater than 0.0625. Type larger than 3" cap height shall have a corner radius no greater than 0.125".

Frutiger Bold typography shall be Machine-routed unless otherwise specified using a vertical-sided, flat-bottom router bit. Routing depth to be 0.375".

A 0.250" deep dado shall be routed in the panel between the main panel and the overbar. Dado height shall be as indicated in the attached drawings. If unspecified in drawings, dado height shall be determined based on cap height of main typography (0.0833 x cap height - .25" for 3", 0.333" for 4", .50 for 6"). Dado shall be routed in to the main panel field with the overbar being full height. Routed dado shall be painted same color as the overbar.

NPS Alternate Panel layouts receive a vertical dado in addition to the horizontal dado. Vertical dados shall be routed to a depth of 0.250". Vertical dado width shall be based on the cap height of main typography (0.0833 x cap height - .25" for 3", 0.333" for 4", .50 for 6"). Vertical dados shall be painted as specified below.

Panels shall be Machine-routed to receive an NPS arrowhead to a depth of 0.5" using a vertical-sided, flat-bottom router bit in Overbar section of panel for NPS Standard Panel layouts or Main Sign Panel for NPS Alternate layouts. Arrowhead shiloutte routed in the sign panel shall be oversized by 1/8" to accommodate inset NPS Arrowhead.

All routed type, dados, and insets shall be sanded smooth and clean. All edges shall be free of burrs and all edges eased prior to application of primer coats and paint.

Paint:

Prior to painting panels shall be finish sanded smooth. Panels shall not be finished with hand planes, hand-held belt, orbital, or vibrating sanders. All dust and sanding residue shall be removed from the sign. Panel shall be properly cleaned per paint manufacturer’s instructions.

Panels shall be sprayed using a VOC compliant, Mathews White Epoxy Primer (or approved equal) on all surfaces. Primer coats shall be applied in strict accordance with the paint and HDU foam manufacturers’ specifications.

Final top coat colors shall be a Matthews Satin VOC, Semi Gloss finish applied per the graphic layouts.

1. Panel Overbar and dado between main panel face and overbar shall be NPS River Rock (Matthews Paint MP63852, PMS 449), Satin VOC Semi Gloss (or approved equal). The Overbar color shall wrap to panel sides;

2. Main Panel Face, sides, and panel back shall be Northwood Brown (Matthews MP63853, PMS 7531) Satin VOC Semi Gloss (or approved equal);

3. Panel Typography and Vertical Dado on NPS Alternate Panel layouts shall be Matthews MP63854, PMS Warm Gray 1, Satin VOC Semi Gloss (or approved equal).

Edges between type, dados, and flat panel sections shall be clean and sharp. Ragged edges and transitions, drips, and oversprays and not acceptable.

Steel Steel Sign Structure:

Sign assemblies shall be fabricated with tubular steel upright posts, 4" x 4" x 1/4" wall. Panels shall attach to a steel mounting structure designed and engineered by the fabricator to meet visual criteria shown in the drawings. Hardware cannot pass through sign face.

Steel posts shall be mounted per the specified drawings and can include direct embedment of posts or baseplate mounting. Steel post length shall be cut per specified drawings. Posts shall be cut to allow flush alignment of post and sign panel.

Steel mounting plate shall be fabricated with A-36, A-500B, or A-847, x 1/4" steel plate. Internal weld edges shall be welded clean and ground smooth.

Paint:

Prior to painting, all steel components shall be sanded, sand blasted, or bead blasted to remove all oils, burrs, and rust. Rust shall be completely removed from all surfaces, edges, and corners. Exposed welds shall be ground clean and smooth.

Cleaning of steel surfaces shall be in strict accordance with paint manufacturer’s specifications. All surfaces shall be completely dry prior to primer application.

After cleaning, all steel components shall be sprayed using a VOC compliant, Mathews White Epoxy Primer (or approved equal) on all surfaces. Primer coat(s) shall be applied in strict accordance with the paint manufacturer’s specifications.

Final top coat colors shall be a Matthews Satin VOC, Semi Gloss finish (or approved equal). Post and steel mounting plate assemblies shall receive a minimum of two top coat finishes.

Paint shall be applied smooth and clean with no oversprays, drips, paint runs, or bubbles. Paint shall be applied so that weep holes are clear and not plugged.

Sign posts, all mounting components, and steel mounting plates shall be Northwood Brown (Matthews MP63853, PMS 7531) Satin VOC Semi Gloss (or approved equal).

After final top coat paint applications, all steel post and mounting plate surfaces shall receive a Matthews Satin Clear, MP281-228, Satin Polyurethane Finish (or approved equal). The finish shall be applied in strict accordance with the paint manufacturer’s specifications.

panel sample following the same fabrication techniques as the HDU panels in this project and show all paint colors and both V and Flat routing techniques. Routing, paint, and finish shall be of the quality required for the final sign panel.
