Installation:

YY. Cant Bead at Floor-to-Wall Transition

1. Prior to the installation of Panels, apply a continuous bead of FT-9227-NS polyurethane sealant along the entire perimeter of the pond at all horizontal-to-vertical interfaces (i.e., floor-to-wall).

2. Tool the sealant to create a 45° “cant” or “chamfer”. The face of the cant shall be a minimum of one (1) inch wide, extending approximately 0.75-inch onto both the horizontal floor and vertical wall.

3. Ensure the cant is smooth, free of ridges or voids, and feathered at the edges to allow the Panels to transition over the joint without lifting.

4. Allow the sealant to skin over and cure sufficiently per the manufacturer’s data sheet prior to proceeding with Panel installation.

ZZ. Horizontal Panel Installation

1. Unroll Prefabricated Polyurea Waterproofing Panels (“Panels”) and place in final position without stretching or tensioning the geotextile.

2. Orient Panels to minimize seams at critical transitions (i.e., wall-to-floor transitions).

3. Overlap adjacent Panels by a minimum of six (6) inches.

2 It may not be practical to perform ASTM D4263 in some circumstances due to the cautions listed in Section 4 of the ASTM document. Section 4.1 states “This test method shall be conducted when the surface temperature and ambient conditions are within the established parameters for application of the coating system.” Section 4.2 states “Avoid direct sunlight, direct heat, or damage to the plastic sheet, as such treatment affects the reliability of the results.” In such circumstances, owner, general contractor, and applicator shall discuss and approve an alternative method of evaluating substrate moisture content. It is recommended that such a contingency be discussed during the pre-construction meeting(s).

4. Installer shall ensure that the overlap areas of all Panels are free of folds, bridging, or tenting.

5. Installer shall ensure that Panels are offset as required to avoid more than three (3) layers are adhered together in any area.

6. If six (6) inch overlap area of Panels is not factory abraded, abrade the polyurea surface to create a visible profile.

7. Wipe overlap areas using acetone or MEK and clean, lint-free rags. Allow solvent to completely evaporate.

8. Apply FT-1056 Activator to tie-in and “cap strip” areas and allow to go tack free.

9. Adhering Seams Together

a. Carefully fold back or temporarily lift the upper panel to expose the mating surface underneath. While the upper panel is held or temporarily weighted back, spray the field-applied polyurea onto the bottom panel’s seam area at approximately 27 ft² per gallon to achieve a theoretical dry film thickness of 60 mils.

b. Extend the adhesive zone slightly beyond the intended overlap edge (approximately 0.5 inch) to ensure full bonding at the perimeter.

c. Immediately lower the top panel into the adhesive, applying uniform pressure and ensuring the upper panel is completely embedded into the field-applied polyurea.

The use of a heavy hand roller or weighted tamping bar may be used as required.

d. Continue to apply even pressure across the seam until the polyurea adhesive has become tack-free.

e. After the overlap is fully bonded, apply a twelve (12) inch wide polyurea “cap strip” centered over the seam at 20 ft ² per gallon to achieve a theoretical dry film thickness of 80 mils.

AAA. Floor-to-Wall Transition and Vertical Termination

1. Prior to placing Panels in this area, install Primer in accordance with the following section.

Allow primer to cure in accordance with this section and install subsequent layers of coating within the stated recoat window.

2. At perimeter wall areas, loose-lay Panels over horizontal surfaces. Extend panels up vertical perimeter walls a minimum of seven (7) inches.

3. At all horizontal-to-vertical corners (previously treated with a sealant cant), ensure the Panels are installed relaxed to prevent “bridging” (i.e., creating air pockets under the Panels).

4. Panels may be secured to the walls at their termination point using fasteners and washers, or by adhering to the primed walls using FT-1501 spray-applied polyurea.

5. Abrade the vertical faces of the Panels from the top edge down a minimum of seven (7) inches to create a visible surface profile.

6. Wipe the abraded Panel surfaces using acetone or MEK and clean, lint-free rags. Allow solvent to fully evaporate before proceeding with subsequent steps.

7. Apply FT-1056 activator to the abraded Panel surfaces. Allow the FT-1056 Activator to fully dry and become tack-free before proceeding with subsequent steps.

8. Begin spraying FT-1501 polyurea to the primed wall surfaces, beginning at the designated termination line or overflow weir, in accordance with the subsequent section.

9. FT-1501 polyurea must overlap onto the vertically terminated Panels a minimum of six (6) inches. Care shall be taken to ensure that the spray-applied FT-1501 does not extend beyond the termination point of the FT-1056 Activator.

BBB. Direct-to-Substrate Installation (i.e., concrete, steel, etc.)

1. Primer:

a. Do not begin membrane installation until all materials and equipment necessary to perform the installation are at the job site and all required repairs have been completed.

b. Applicator shall maintain spray and other installation equipment in proper operating condition throughout installation. Applicator shall provide reserve equipment as required.

c. Applicator shall perform and record relevant field quality control tests and readings throughout the installation process in accordance with Section 3.4 of this document.

d. Apply primer at approximately 130-200 ft² per gallon over surfaces to receive spray applied polyurea waterproofing membrane.

e. If one (1) coat of primer is required, applicator shall broadcast a washed, rounded, dry, and contamination free silica sand into primer surface prior to the primer achieving full set.

f. If two (2) coats of primer is required, do not install sand broadcast into first layer and allow the first coat to become tack free. Apply second coat of primer at approximately 400 ft² per gallon. Applicator shall broadcast a washed, rounded, dry, and contamination free silica sand into second coat primer surface prior to the primer achieving full set.

g. Allow primer to go tack free and remove excess loose aggregate before proceeding to subsequent steps.

h. Do not apply more primer than can be overcoated with polyurea within eighteen

(18) hours of set time. If primer is not overcoated within the recoat window, primer must be re-applied.

2. Spray Applied Aromatic Polyurea Membrane:

a. Spray FT-1501 at 16 ft² per gallon over primed surfaces to achieve a theoretical dry film thickness of 100 mils.

b. Spray additional coats as required to achieve the specified thickness.

Field Quality Control

CCC. All work in this section to be completed by applicator. Applicator shall record all readings and test results into a daily quality control log (“QC Log”). A copy of each QC Log shall be submitted to the Engineer at the end of each day.

DDD. Record environmental condition readings at least once every four (4) hours, when ambient conditions significantly change, or immediately prior to Installer performing new task (prior to installing primer, primer to installing base membrane, etc.), whichever is more frequent.

EEE. Concrete Surface Tensile Strength Testing

1. General: For concrete substrates only, the prepared concrete shall be tested for surface tensile strength to ensure the integrity of the prepared concrete. Testing shall be in accordance with ASTM D7234 and/or ASTM C1583.

2. Applicability: Surface tensile strength testing is only required under the following conditions:

a. Existing/Aged Concrete: Where the substrate is not newly poured or has a history of chemical exposure.

b. Aggressive Preparation: Where surface preparation involves milling, heavy scarification, or high-pressure water jetting that increases the risk of sub-surface “bruising” (i.e., near-surface micro-fracturing).

c. Suspect Integrity: Where the Engineer, installer, or QAP identifies areas of potential weakness, dusting, or carbonation.

3. If 50mm dollies are utilized, frequency of testing shall be one (1) test per 5,000 ft², or fraction thereof, or a minimum of three (3) tests per day, whichever is greater.

4. If 20mm dollies are utilized, frequency of testing shall be three (3) individual tests within a 12-inch diameter “grouping”. There shall be a minimum of three (3) “groupings” per 5,000 ft² (i.e., nine (9) individual tests) or fraction thereof, or a minimum of three (3) groupings per day, whichever is greater.

5. The minimum value is 300 psi. Values below this may indicate unsound or bruised concrete.

If test values are below the minimum requirement, cease work and obtain further instruction from Engineer3.

FFF. Record material batch numbers, processing information, and quantity of each material used.

GGG. Direct-to-Substrate Installation (i.e., concrete, steel, etc.)

1. Perform adhesion strength testing of primer bond to substrate and polyurea membrane bond to primer. On concrete substrates, testing shall be performed in accordance with ASTM D7234. On metal substrates, testing shall be performed in accordance with ASTM D4541. On concrete surfaces, the minimum adhesion value shall be 150 psi or failure within the concrete substrate4. On metal surfaces, the minimum adhesion value is 300 psi.

Frequency of testing shall be one test per 5,000 ft² or fraction thereof, or a minimum of three

(3) tests per day, whichever is greater.

2. For components of waterproofing system that gel too quickly to perform wet film thickness testing, perform dry film thickness testing of spray polyurea membrane in accordance with SSPC-PA2, SSPC-PA9, or ASTM D1005. Frequency of testing shall be one (1) test per 100 ft².

a. If applicator uses non-destructive magnetic test equipment, testing shall be performed in accordance with SSPC-PA2 Measurement of Dry Coating Thickness with Magnetic Gages.

b. If applicator uses non-destructive ultrasonic test equipment, testing shall be performed in accordance with SSPC-PA9 Measurement of Dry Coating Thickness of Cementitious Substrates Using Ultrasonic Gages. Ultrasonic testing is usually accurate to +/- 5%.

c. If applicator uses destructive test equipment, testing shall be performed in accordance with ASTM D1005 and this section:

3 Refer to SSPC-SP13, Appendix A.8.5 for additional information. Appendix A.8.5 states “Because of the variability in concrete, the surface preparation methods used and the choice and operation of the instruments, there is a large margin of error in the pull-off strength results obtained from these methods. Therefore, it is incumbent on all persons performing the testing and/or specifying the numeric results that equal attention is paid to the mode of failure and it is observed, interpreted, and the consequences understood.”

If on site personnel (Owner, General Contractor, and/or Installer) suspect a pull-off value is erroneous, additional testing should be performed in the general vicinity of this test location to validate the results.

4 Each result should be evaluated based on duration of cure, mode of failure, and force at failure. Refer to ASTM D7234, Appendix X.1 for additional information regarding interpretation of results.

i. Remove a sample of membrane from the substrate by cutting or use of a hollow punch.

ii. Remove any excess substrate residue from the backside of the sample.

iii. Measure thickness of the sample at the thinnest point using a handheld micrometer or dial caliper.

HHH. Applicator shall perform visual inspections throughout installation process. Holidays or other defects in the waterproofing system shall be marked and repaired.

III. Prior to performing electronic leak detection, Applicator shall water test the drains for a minimum of sixteen (16) hours. At least sixteen (16) hours prior to electronic leak detection, plug the drain and fill with sufficient water to completely cover the clamping ring. The company performing electronic leak detection shall inspect each drain for leaks upon their arrival to the job site.

JJJ. Prior to returning the structure to service, perform electronic leak detection. Any voids or defects detected during testing shall be repaired in accordance with waterproofing manufacturer’s published guidelines.

Certificate of Interested Parties Form 1295

Pursuant to Section 2252 of the Texas Government Code, any business entity entering into a contract with a local government that requires approval of the governing body must submit a Disclosure of Interested Parties to the local government prior to the execution of the contract. The Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) has adopted a form for the Disclosure of Interested Parties (Form 1295) and has created a website application for business entities to submit the required information.

The City of Rockwall may not enter into a contract that requires the approval of the City Council until the business entity that is a party to the contract files a Form 1295 with the Texas Ethics Commission and the City of Rockwall Purchasing Department.

1. Upon being notified of a proposal/recommended award, the award recipient, the business entity, must go the following website: https://www.ethics.state.tx.us/filinginfo/1295/ and follow the login directions on the website application to complete a Form 1295. If this is a business entity’s first login on to the website application, the business entity must create a login Username and Password then follow the application’s instructions to complete a Form 1295.

2. The City does not have a Contract ID Number System. Please insert the City of Rockwall’s proposal or project number in this box RFP NO: 2026-XXX.

3. Once confirmation is received, that the information has been submitted with the Texas Ethics Commission, the business entity MUST print, sign and date Form 1295.

4. Form 1295 must be filed with the Texas Ethics Commission within seven (7) business days of the date of notification of recommended award. The contract will not be presented to City Council until the form has been filed with the Texas Ethics Commission and the City of Rockwall has received Form 1295.

5. In no way does a request for filing of Form 1295 with the Texas Ethics Commission commit the City to any type of award whatsoever.

6. Once the City of Rockwall Purchasing Department receives Form 1295, the Purchasing Department will submit confirmation of receipt through the Texas Ethics Commission website within thirty (30) days.

7. This process must be followed for each contract requiring City of Rockwall Council approval.

8. A Form 1295 cannot be hand written. It must be completed electronically through the Texas Ethics Commission website application.

If you have any questions contact the City of Rockwall Purchasing Agent at (972) 771-7700, 385 S. Goliad St., Rockwall, Texas 75087.
