1.4.8. Surface Preparation: Allow new pavement surfaces to cure for a period of not less than 30 days before application of marking materials. Thoroughly clean surfaces to be marked before application of the paint. Remove dust, dirt, and other granular surface deposits by sweeping, wiping, blowing with compressed air, rinsing with water, or a combination of these or other methods as required. Remove rubber deposits, existing paint markings, residual curing compounds, and other coatings adhering to the pavement by water blasting or approved chemical removal method. For Portland Cement Concrete pavement, grinding, light shot blasting, and light scarification, to a resulting profile equal to ICRI 03732 CSP 2, CSP 3, and CSP 4, respectively, can be used in addition to water blasting, to either remove existing coatings or for surface preparation on most pavements: shot blasting shall not be used on airfield pavements due to the potential of Foreign Object Damage (FOD) to aircraft. Scrub affected areas, where oil or grease is present on old pavements to be marked, with several applications of trisodium phosphate solution or other approved detergent or degreaser and rinse thoroughly after each application. After cleaning oil-soaked areas, seal with shellac or primer recommended by the manufacturer to prevent bleeding through the new paint. Do not commence painting in any area until pavement surfaces are dry and clean.

1.4.8.1. Concrete, Masonry, Metal and Stucco Surfaces: Where existing paint is so loose as to be unsuitable for repainting, as determined by the Contracting Officer and designated technical representative shall be completely blast-cleaned as hereinafter specified. Concrete, masonry, metal and stucco surfaces not to be blast-cleaned shall have all loose paint and chalk removed by wire-brushing, hand-scraping, or other suitable method.

Where necessary for proper surface preparation, surfaces to be painted shall be washed to remove grease and other deleterious substances, which cannot be readily wiped off. Washing solution shall consist of a neutral soap or synthetic detergent and water, so proportioned as to properly clean the surface without damage thereto. All washed areas shall have cleaning solution removed before painting.

1.4.8.4. All Surfaces to be Painted: Shall be made smooth and flush, which shall include removal of exposed nails or other fasteners not required, filling of holes and depressions, sanding voids and rough areas in paint to a featheredge, and similar operations. All cracks, nail holes, spread joints and minor holes in woodwork, including doors, shall be filled with putty or wood filler, brought flush with the surface and sanded smooth. Protruding nail heads on finished surfaces shall be countersunk and the resulting hole filled.

1.4.8.5. Surfaces having Existing Enamel Finishes: Shall be dulled by application of suitable liquid surface conditioner before application of new paint, or shall be lightly sanded to remove gloss.

Loose wallboard joint tape shall be removed and new tape applied. Tape shall be bedded in joint cement, then covered with cement and sanded smooth so that joints will not show.

Existing holes or damaged areas of gypsum board shall be repaired by the contractor. Repair of damaged gypsum board surfaces shall be included in the unit price for painting of the respective surfaces.

1.4.8.6. Tar Drippings: Shall be completely removed from gravel stops, fascia boards, and other surfaces to be painted, or which adjoin surfaces, which are to be painted.

1.4.8.7. Cracks, Holes or Other Defects: Defects less than 1/8-inch in width in concrete, masonry, and stucco surfaces which cannot be completely coated and sealed by the finish paint shall be filled flush with caulking compound All cracked or loose caulking compound in joints around exterior doorframes, windows, and other locations shall be removed. After removal of loose material, all joints around exterior doorframes, windows and similar locations shall be caulked as specified hereinafter, (see 1.4.18). All cracks, holes, or other defects 1/8-inch or more in width in concrete, masonry, and stucco surfaces shall be patched. Patching material shall be a non-bleeding standard commercial non-shrinking, mildew-resistant, ready-mixed spackling compound designed for exterior use and suitable for the intended purpose. Cracks to be patched shall have all loose mortar removed and shall be clean and dry at time of patching. All patching materials shall be mixed and applied in strict accordance ‘with the manufacturer’s printed directions. All patched areas shall be finished to match adjacent surfaces and shall be cured and dry before masonry primer is applied.

1.4.9. Shrubbery: Shall be disturbed only as required to facilitate painting and shall be replaced in original locations. Shrubbery shall be tied back or, when necessary, trimmed to permit access to building surfaces. All shrubbery trimming shall be subject to prior approval by the Contracting Officer and designated technical representative.

1.4.10. Grass and Earth Adjoining Building Walls: Shall be removed slightly below existing grade to permit wall paint to be carried down to a straight line parallel to, and slightly below, existing grade.

Any surfaces damaged by surface preparation shall be patched to match adjacent surfaces.

Protective paint on metal shall be applied as the cleaning work proceeds, so that rust will not set-in before painting. It will be the responsibility of the contractor to properly prepare all surfaces and any surfaces not satisfactory for painting shall be corrected before work proceeds.

1.4.11. Cleaning and Painting: Shall be so programmed that dust and other contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces.

Defective paint shall be removed down to the concrete, masonry, metal or stucco or to sound existing paint, as approved by the Contracting Officer and designated technical representative. Sandblasting shall be accomplished with suitable equipment and the use of sand or other aggregate of approved type.

Sandblasting shall be performed by skilled mechanics and in such a manner as to remove paint from the surfaces without any significant damage to the concrete, masonry, metal and stucco.

1.4.15. Any Damaged Areas: Damaged areas of concrete, masonry, metal and stucco resulting from blast cleaning operations shall be repaired and refinished so that all surfaces of each building will be uniform in appearance. Repair of damaged concrete, masonry and stucco surfaces shall include application of a cement-latex fill coat on the affected areas. All sandblasting of concrete, masonry and stucco surfaces shall be performed using the wet- blast method by mixing a small amount of water with the blasting aggregate as it leaves the nozzle. The amount of water used shall be only enough to keep the dust resulting from the sandblasting operations to a minimum.

1.4.16. Removal of Mildew: All surfaces to be painted under this contract which show visible signs of mildew shall be treated to completely remove the mildew as part of surface preparation.
