Project Overview:

This project will re-stripe 14.06 lane miles of the Walnut Canyon Entrance Road (NPS Route 010). Yellow centerline and fog line will be striped for the entire road starting at the park boundary adjacent to White City, NM. The Visitor Center and Bat Flight Amphitheater parking lots will also be re-striped with its 644 conventional parking spaces, 11 RV parking spaces, multiple pedestrian aisles, 28 accessible parking spaces, 300 feet of fire lane painted curb, loading zone, speed bumps, directional arrows, and stop sign markers.

Place of Performance/Hours of Operation:

The normal hours of operation are Monday through Friday 7:00am to 3:30pm. All activities affecting NPS operations and/or visitor and staff safety must be arranged with NPS COR.

Instillation will take place during normal business hours on the main entrance road and off-hours for the main parking area; exceptions may be authorized in order to better meet the project goals and incur fewer closures.

Period of Performance:

Performance will commence no less than 30 days after the award and completion within 45 days after award.

Quality Assurance:

All workmanship shall be done in a professional manner, in accordance with industry standards.

Compliance checks will be made by the COR or his authorized representative to insure:

a) Correct type of paint and reflective media used.

b) Mechanical paint application equipment used as specified.

c) Proper surface preparation.

d) Correct rate of application.

e) Proper protection of newly painted areas.

Specific code requirements include, but are not limited to:

• Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)

Special Conditions:

The contractor shall keep the project area neat, orderly, and in safe conditions at all time. The contractor is responsible for using barriers to protect and separate the public and employees from the work area. Moveable barriers may be necessary to prevent unauthorized use of the work area.

Striping Specifications:

1. Paint:

Stripes shall be 4” wide. Paint for roads and parking areas shall be a ready mixed solvent based paint designated for road and parking area striping. The paint shall conform to Federal Specification TT-P-85 and shall have a 15 to 30 minute drying time. The paint shall be homogeneous, easily stirred to a smooth consistency, shall show no hard settlement or other objectionable characteristics.

All paints shall be packaged in sturdy leak-proof containers. The capacity of each container shall not exceed five (5) U.S. gallons, except that 55 gallon containers will be permitted under the following conditions.

2. Colors:

The paint shall be zone marking yellow or white for applications, matching the existing paint colors unless otherwise specified.

3. Reflective Media:

Glass beads for use with traffic marking paint shall be type I, non-flotation with a moisture resistant coating conforming to the requirements of AASHTO designation: M247.

4. Paint Applicator:

All striping shall be applied by mechanical equipment, with provisions for constant agitation of paint, traveling at constant controlled speeds, with one or more paint nozzles synchronized to begin and cut off paint flow automatically in the case of specified skip lines and subject to manual control in the case of continuous lines of varying length. In addition, the machine, or a separate machine, shall be equipped with a reflective media dispenser adjusted and so synchronized with the paint applicator as to distribute the reflectorizing media at the specified rate uniformly on the painted surface within ten (10) seconds of the initial application of the paint.

5. Surface Preparation:

All pavement area to be painted shall be thoroughly cleaned. Cleaning shall be done by hand brooms, rotary brooms, air blast, scrapers or whatever combination of equipment is necessary to clean the pavement without damages to the surface or the physical condition of the surface material. Before edge striping operations proceed, all vegetation, loose soil and all foreign materials shall be removed from the area to be painted. Rubber deposits, surface laitance, and other coatings adhering to the pavement shall be completely removed.

6. Application:

Uniformly painted and reflectorized markings of required length and width with true, sharp edges and ends shall be applied on prepared and dried surfaces in conformity with the specifications or established control points. The length and width of lines as shall conform within a tolerance of plus or minus three (3) inches and plus or minus one-eighth (1/8) inch, respectively; in the case of skip markings, the length of intervals shall not exceed the line length tolerance. No application of paint shall be made when there is a 30% chance of rain or precipitation or when air temperature is below 50 degrees F.

7. Rate of Application:

The rate of application shall be not less than one (1) gallon of paint and six (6) pounds of reflectorizing media per each three hundred thirty (330) linear feet of four (4) inch line applied.

Markings applied at less than minimum material rates; deviating from true alignment by more than one (1) inch in fifty (50) feet; exceeding specified length and width tolerance; and showing light spots, faulty distribution of reflectorizing materials, smears, or other deficiencies or irregularities shall be removed as specified ins section 9.0 and replaced.

8. Protection:

The newly painted stripes shall be protected so that, insofar as possible, paint will not be picked up by the tires of passing vehicles. Warning signs shall be placed at the beginning of the wet line, and at points well in advance of the marking equipment.

Operations shall be conducted in such manner that necessary traffic can move without undue hindrance. When public traffic is being maintained, warning signs at the starting end shall be moved forward as sections of stripe dry sufficiently to prevent pick-up under traffic.

9. Traffic Control:

Warning signs shall be placed at the beginning of the worksite at an acceptable distance to alert all approaching traffic, from both directions of the situation ahead.

The Contractor shall provide, erect and maintain all necessary barricades, suitable and sufficient lights, danger signals, signs and other traffic control devices; shall provide qualified flagmen where necessary to direct the traffic; and shall take all necessary precautions for the protection of the work and the warning that the work is in progress on the road.

Inspection:

1. The government may inspect materials and workmanship during installation.

• Rejected materials and workmanship will be corrected by the contractor as soon as possible.

2. The contractor shall furnish a Product Data Sheet showing Specification Conformance.

3. The Contractor shall be responsible for inspection of his/her work to ensure that the services required under this purchase order are performed in accordance with the requirements of these specifications. The Contractor shall provide supervision at all times over the work which his/her employees are performing to assure complete and satisfactory performance.
