Specifications:

1.0.0 General Requirements

1.1.0 This project shall be implemented through a

purchase order issued by the office of the City of Meriden Finance Office, Rawle Dummett, Purchasing Officer, O 203 630 4115 email: rdummett@meridenct.gov.

2.0.0 Concrete & Masonry Cleaning

2.1.0 Summary - Includes cleaning of masonry and stone

surfaces.

2.2.0 Preinstallation Meeting - GC to prepare minimum

100 SF sample cleaning area for onsite review with Architect prior to implementing the work.

2.3.0 Definitions - Utilize Medum Pressure Spray (400 to

800 psi).

2.4.0 Quality Assurance – Prepare an approximately 25

SF mockup of cleaned area for each type of masonry and surface condition.

2.5.0 Cleaning Materials - Use potable water heated to a

temperature of 140 deg F with job mixed detergent solution prepared by mixing 2 cups (0.5 L) of tetrasodium pyrophosphate (TSPP), 1/2 cup (125 mL) of laundry detergent, and 20 quarts (20 L) of hot water for every 5 gal. (20 L) of solution required.

2.6.0 Protection - Comply with each manufacturer's

written instructions for protecting building and other surfaces against damage from exposure to its products. Prevent paint removers and chemical cleaning solutions from coming into contact with people, motor vehicles, landscaping, buildings, and other surfaces that could be harmed by such contact.

2.7.0 Cleaning General - Appearance Standard: Cleaned

surfaces are to have a uniform appearance as viewed from 20 feet (6 m)] away. Proceed with cleaning in an orderly manner; work from top to bottom and from one end of each elevation to the other. Ensure that dirty residues and rinse water do not wash over dry, cleaned surfaces. Use spray equipment that provides controlled application at volume and pressure indicated, measured at nozzle.

Adjust pressure and volume to ensure that cleaning methods do not damage surfaces, including joints.

2.8.0 Preliminary Cleaning - Before beginning general

cleaning, remove extraneous substances that are resistant to planned cleaning methods. Extraneous substances include paint, calking, asphalt, and tar.

2.9.0 Cleaning Masonry & Concrete - Detergent Cleaning:

Wet surface with hot water applied by low-pressure spray. Scrub surface with detergent solution using medium-soft brushes until soil is thoroughly dislodged and can be removed by rinsing. Use small brushes to remove soil from mortar joints and crevices. Dip brush in solution often to ensure that adequate fresh detergent is used and that surface remains wet. Rinse with hot water applied by medium-pressure spray to remove detergent solution and soil. Repeat cleaning procedure above where required to produce cleaning effect

3.0.0 Joint Sealants

3.1.0 Summary – Repair and/or replacement of deteriorated

exterior weather sealants at vents, grilles, louvers, parapets, facias, curbs, expansion joints and various r roof and wall penetrations.

3.2.0 Preinstallation Meeting – GC top identify and prepare

sample repair for minimum of 2 linear feet or occurrence at representative ‘deteriorated’ joint for onsite inspection prior to proceeding with the work.

3.3.0 General - Provide joint sealants, backings, and other

related materials that are compatible with one another and with joint substrates under conditions of service and application, as demonstrated by joint-sealant manufacturer, based on testing and field experience.
