PAINTS and COATINGS, GENERAL

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SCOPE: There are a variety of heights where work shall be accomplished at

Altus AFB. The maximum height will not exceed 150 FT. Painting at any height in this range can be expected during the course of the contract. The Contractor may paint interior and exterior components of Base Facilities. The Contractor shall use maximum effort to match Federal Standard 595B colors. All exterior colors will be in accordance with the Exterior Paint Plan. The Base Interior Designer or Base Architect will identify all interior paint colors on each Task Order (TO). The Contractor shall patch or repair and paint to match existing areas to achieve complete repair of assigned surfaces to match adjoining surfaces. Any loose or cracked caulking or glazing putty shall be removed and refilled with new caulking by the Contractor. Holes and cracks shall be filled with compatible materials and then taped/spackled, sealed and possibly textured prior to painting. Contractor shall scarify, blast or use chemicals to remove paint, debris or other foreign matter from surfaces of the interior or exterior of buildings, facilities, floors, and other real property prior to application of new paint. Do not paint pre-finished items, concealed surfaces, finished metal surfaces, operating parts, and labels.

A. The Contractor shall be fully responsible for covering or otherwise protecting all items from coating, dust, etc. during the Contractor’s performance. Areas, devices, or items not to be coated must be masked off. The Contractor will provide proper masking material, masking tape, polyethylene sheet, or other materials as required to protect areas from over-spray, splatter, foot tracking, and spills.

B. The Contracting Officer (CO), Inspector, Project Manager, User, and the

Contractor shall jointly inspect the work area before work commences. Coordinate testing with user 24 hours in advance, before testing. Any existing damage to the area shall be documented at that time. The Contractor shall repair damage incurred during the contracted operations.

C. Work may be phased so that only part of a building or other facility is turned over to the Contractor at one time. Any equipment or material temporarily stored will be moved by government personnel upon reasonable notice of at least 5 days of intent to work in the area. Due to unplanned or emergency conditions, the government may require the facility to be returned to government use prior to Contractor completion.

D. The Contractor will protect areas adjacent to surface preparation and coating operations, and will protect the work area with barricades, warning tape, and signs. When work is complete, the Contractor will remove these items (including masking tape); and will remove accumulated debris.

E. Remove building identification numbers prior to painting building. Existing signs, emblems and numbering plates shall be removed from the building by the contractor and reinstalled after painting is completed.

1.2 REFERENCE STANDARDS: Most current editions of publications listed below or in distribution shall apply. Contractor shall make available to the CO at least one copy each of: ASTM D 3276, ASTM D 3925, ASTM D 4285, SSPC SP CPM, SSPC

They shall be informed of potential health and safety hazard and protective controls associated with materials used on the project. An affected work area is one that may receive mists and odors from the painting operations. Workers involved in preparation, painting and clean up shall be trained in the safe handling and application, and the exposure limit, for each material, which the worker will use in the project. Personnel having a need to use respirators and masks shall be instructed on the use and maintenance of such equipment by the Contractor and will comply with 29 CFR 1910.134.

D. Coordination: Work shall be coordinated to minimize exposure of building occupants, other Contractor personnel, and visitors to mists and odors from preparation, painting and clean up operations. When spray painting is being performed in occupied areas, all personnel with the exception of painters and their helpers must be removed.

E. Protection Against Liquids: Wear protective clothing, gloves and eye and face protection when applying coatings or when handling liquid materials. Face protective equipment must meet the requirements of ANSI 287.1. All spray painters are required to wear respiratory protection. This can range from a simple dust fume and mist type respirator for water based nontoxic paints up to an airline-supplied respirator for spraying paints containing isocyanates or carcinogens. Contractor will provide respirators to employee, and the Contractor must comply with 29 CFR 1910.143 and OSHA expanded standards.

F. Ventilation: The area must be physically isolated from the occupied areas by the use of plastic or some other vapor proof barrier. This isolation must remain in place until the paint is no longer emitting air contaminants. The work area must be ventilated properly at all times to prevent accumulation of hazardous fumes. Return air inlets in the work zone shall be temporarily sealed before start of work until the coatings have dried.

Local exhaust ventilation may be needed in the isolated area to remove air contaminants so they do not build to an explosive level or exceed the capacity of the respirator being worn. This local exhaust ventilation shall not be directly vented to the outdoors unless a permit has already been obtained from the County Health Department for air contaminants prior to discharge to the environment.

G. Compressors for spray painting shall not produce noise levels greater than 80 decibels A- weighted pressure level (dbA) and preferably should not be located in occupied areas. Fossil Fueled compressors shall not be permitted inside buildings unless their exhausts are vented to the outdoors.

A. Qualification Testing: Qualification testing is the performance of all test requirements listed in the product specification. This testing is accomplished by MPI to qualify each product for the MPI “Approved Product List”, and may also be accomplished by Contractor’s third party testing lab if an alternative to Batch Quality

Conformance Testing by MPI is desired.

B. Batch Quality Conformance Testing: Batch quality conformance testing determines that the product provided is the same as the product qualified to the appropriate product specification. This testing shall only be accomplished by MPI testing lab.

C. Coating: A film or thin layer applied to a base material called a substrate. A coating may be a metal, alloy, paint, or solid/liquid suspensions on various substrates

(metals, plastics, wood, paper, leather, cloth, etc.). The coatings may be applied by electrolysis, vapor deposition, vacuum, or mechanical means such as brushing, spraying, calendering, and roller coating. A coating may be applied for aesthetic or protective purposes or both. The term “coating” as used herein includes emulsions, enamels, stains, varnishes, sealers, epoxies, and other coatings, whether used as primer, intermediate, or finish coat. The terms paint and coating is used interchangeably.

D. DFT or dft: Dry film thickness, the film thickness of the fully cured, dry paint or coating.

E. DSD: Degree of Surface Degradation, the MPI system of defining degree of surface degradation. Five (5) levels are generically defined under the Assessment sections in the MPI Maintenance Repainting Manual.
