When a designated item is specified as an option to a non-designated item, the designated item requirements apply only if the designated item is used in the work.

1.4 EPA PROPOSED ITEMS INCORPORATED IN THE WORK

Products other than those designated by EPA are still being researched and are being considered for future Comprehensive Procurement Guideline (CPG) designation. It is recommended that these items, when incorporated in the work under this contract, contain the highest practicable percentage of recycled or recovered materials, provided specified requirements are also met.

1.5 EPA LISTED ITEMS USED IN CONDUCT OF THE WORK BUT NOT INCORPORATED IN

Remove any existing coating. Use a Delmhorst moisture meter with a probe and scale for wood, test the water content of the floor. If a reading of more than 20 is obtained, test the floor using ASTM D 4263-83, Standard Test Method, Indicating Moisture In Concrete by the Plastic Sheet Method.

If moisture is present, contact the Contracting Officer immediately and do not proceed until authorized by the Contracting Officer.

1.7.2 Test Application

The selected coating system should be tested in accordance with the following:

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 SURFACE PREPARATION

Comply with the surface preparation instructions of the coating manufacturer. Thoroughly clean all surfaces to be coated. As a minimum, sweep the floor, remove debris, and clean the floor with a mechanical scrubber and a heavy-duty alkaline detergent. Allow the detergent solution to soak for 20 to 30 minutes before final scrubbing. Scrub while rinsing with clear water. Correct all damage which occurs during the surface preparation.

3.1.1 New Concrete

New concrete must age until it meets the moisture content requirements.

Remove any curing membrane, coating overspray, and oil from the concrete using solvents and detergents designed to remove these materials.

3.1.2 Older or Active Bay Floors

Remove oily residues, markings, and other contaminants using solvents and detergents designed for the purpose.

10 May 2005 Page 10

3.1.3 Concrete Surfaces

3.1.3.1 Mechanical Cleaning

Completely remove dirt, wax, paint, and laitance, by grinding with a terrazzo machine, sanding with coarse open grid sandpaper, sand blasting, chipping, bush hammering, or wire brushing.

3.1.3.2 Steam Cleaning

Completely remove all animal fats, grease, oil, and wax using a high pressure steam cleaner equipped with a soap injection system. Scrape the surface to remove any build-up of debris. Then thoroughly saturate the surface with hot caustic solution. Allow the solution to remain on the floor for 15 to 20 minutes. Apply steam, with caustic, over the presoaked area until all contamination is removed. Leach the caustic residue from the surface using one or more applications of steam without caustic. Flush the floor with warm water.

3.1.3.3 Paint Stripping

Brush or spray on a paint stripping material that has been demonstrated to effectively remove the paint. Leave the stripping material on the surface until the paint has softened or blistered. Remove paint by scraping, brushing, or wiping. Rinse the surface in accordance with the stripping material manufacturer's recommendations. Avoid strippers containing toxic methylene chloride.

3.1.3.4 Acid Etching

Apply a 10 percent solution of muriatic acid at a rate of one quart per each 10 square feet of concrete surface. Allow the solution to stand until it stops bubbling but not less than 5 minutes. Remove the acid and wash the surfaces several times, as required, to remove all traces of the acid.

Always dilute acid by pouring into water. Use face shield rubber gloves, and other safety equipment when using acids, alkalies, or solvents.

3.1.3.5 Air Drying

After cleaning, allow concrete surface to air dry thoroughly prior to application of surfacing. Blowers or oil free compressed air may be used.

Do not use flame-drying methods. Prior to application of surfacing, test concrete surface for excessive moisture in at least two locations. Place rubber mats at each location with smooth side against concrete and place weight on top of mat to hold in position and ensure contact with concrete.

Polyethylene with all edges taped may be used in lieu of mats. After 8 hours remove mat or sheeting and examine floor surface for moisture accumulation. If tests indicate accumulation of moisture at either location, additional air drying shall be undertaken until additional tests show no moisture accumulation.

3.1.4 Filling Cracks, Spalls, Joints, and Other Depressions

Fill all cracks, joints, spalls, and other depressions in the substrate with a latex underlayment, as recommended by the manufacturer compatible with the floor surfacing material.

10 May 2005 Page 11

3.2 REMOVAL OF CONTAMINANTS

Check that the concrete is free of contaminants by wetting it with water.

If it is not readily wetted, repeat cleaning with solvents and detergents as often as necessary.

3.3 PREPARATION OF EXPANSION JOINTS

Using suitable hand or power tools, rake all existing joints to a depth (D) of 1 inch, and width (W) at least 1 inch and no more than 1 1/2 inches.

Thoroughly clean the joints and keep them clean by filling with backer rods or other material. After coating work is complete, remove the temporary fillers and fill joints flush with a silicone joint sealant conforming to ASTM D 5893-96. Asphalt-containing sealers tend to bleed into the coating and is prohibited.

3.4 ETCHING CONCRETE

Acid etching should be required for new concrete and may be used for existing concrete if suggested by the coatings manufacturer. Acid etching roughens the surface of smooth concrete but does not remove contaminants.

Remove all contaminants before etching concrete. Etch the clean concrete surface with a dilute solution of acid in accordance with the coating manufacturer's recommendations. Apply the solution uniformly to allow small bubble to form. Where the acid does not properly wet the floor and fails to form bubbles, remove contaminants again in accordance with this section and repeat the procedure until the concrete is clean. Allow the acid to stand on the floor for five minutes to complete the reaction.

Scrub the floor to remove invisible salts, while rinsing with fresh water.

Add detergents or ammonia during this scrubbing process if recommended by the reflective coating manufacturer. From the beginning of the etching process until the final water rinsing, do not allow any portions of the floor to…
