About this file
This is a System Guide and technical specification document for the Sherwin-Williams Resuflor Deco Flake BC epoxy flooring system, prepared for the City of Pembroke Pines' epoxy replacement project at Charles F. Dodge City Hall in Broward County, Florida. The project involves the complete installation of a mosaic pattern floor covering using vinyl chips incorporated in pigmented epoxy and sealed with a clear, high-gloss polyurethane finish. The system is designed for a nominal thickness of 20-30 mils and includes demolition, surface preparation, moisture testing, primer application, base coat, grout/seal coat, and topcoating. The contractor must submit a pre-installation conference and full-thickness mockups on a 16 square-foot floor area for architect approval before proceeding with full installation. The mandatory performance window is July 30, 2026 through August 30, 2026, with work permitted only on weekends and Thursday evenings after 5:00 p.m. until Sunday at 11:00 p.m. The project must be completed within 25 calendar days from issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Key deadlines include a mandatory pre-bid meeting on March 3, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., questions due by March 17, 2026, final answers by March 23, 2026, and electronic bid submission by 2:00 p.m. on March 31, 2026, with public bid opening at 2:30 p.m. the same day.
The estimated project cost is $150,000, with a proposal security requirement of $10,000 or 5 percent of the total bid amount, whichever is less. The contractor must meet minimum qualifications of five years of experience and provide both a seven-year workmanship labor warranty and a seven-year product warranty from the manufacturer. The project is subject to federal Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and HUD Section 3 provisions, requiring at least 25 percent of total project hours worked by Section 3 workers and 5 percent by Targeted Section 3 workers. The contractor must provide comprehensive general liability insurance with limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, workers' compensation coverage, auto liability insurance, and $2,000,000 umbrella/excess liability coverage, along with two separate payment and performance bonds each equal to 100 percent of the contract price. Liquidated damages are assessed at $964 per day for failure to meet start or completion dates. The City will waive all City-related permit and license fees, and the City Commission will recommend award on May 6, 2026, with Notice to Proceed issued by May 20, 2026.

APPLICATION INFORMATION — SURFACE PREP PROFILE CSP 1-3
INSTALLATION
Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring materials shall only be installed by approved contractors. The following information is to be used as a guideline for the installation of the Resuflor Deco Flake BC. Contact the Sherwin-Williams Technical Service Department for assistance prior to application.
SURFACE PREPARATION — GENERAL
Sherwin-Williams systems can be applied to a variety of substrates if the substrate is properly prepared. Preparation of surfaces other than concrete will depend on the type of substrate, such as wood, concrete block, quarry tile, etc.
Should there be any questions regarding a specific substrate or condition, please contact the Sherwin-Williams Technical Service Department prior to starting the project. Refer to Surface Preparation Form G-1.
SURFACE PREPARATION — CONCRETE
Concrete surfaces shall be abrasive blasted to remove all surface contaminants and laitance. The prepared concrete shall have a surface profile depending upon system selected. Refer to Form G-1.
After initial preparation has occurred, inspect the concrete for bug holes, voids, fins and other imperfections. Protrusions shall be ground smooth while voids shall be filled with a system compatible filler. For recommendations, consult the Sherwin- Williams Technical Service Department.
TEMPERATURE
Throughout the application process, substrate temperature should be 50-90°F. Substrate temperature must be at least 5ºF above the dew point. Applications on concrete substrate should occur while temperature is falling to lessen off gassing.
The material should not be applied in direct sunlight, if possible.
Protect material from freezing prior to installation.

SYSTEM GUIDE
PRIMER
MIXING AND APPLICATION
1. � Add 2 parts 3579A (resin) to 1 part 3579B (hardener) by volume. Mix with low-speed drill and Jiffy blade for three minutes until uniform. To ensure proper system cure and performance, strictly follow mix ratio recommendations.
2. �3579 may be applied via spray, roller or brush. Apply at a spread rate of 200-300 sq. ft. per gallon, evenly, with no puddles. Coverage will vary depending upon porosity of the substrate and surface texture.
3. �3579 application varies upon usage.
NOTE: Epoxy materials may tend to blush at the surface, especially in humid environments. After the surface is primed and before installation of each subsequent coat, surface must be examined for blush (a whitish greasy film and/or low gloss).
The blush must be completely removed prior to recoating using warm detergent water or solvent wipe.
Epoxy materials will appear to be cured and dry to touch prior to full chemical cross linking. Allow epoxy to cure for 2-3 days prior to exposure to water or other chemicals for best performance.
BASE COAT
MIXING AND APPLICATION
1. � Premix 3746A (resin) using a low-speed drill and Jiffy blade.
Mix for one minute until uniform, exercising caution not to introduce air into the material.
2. �Add 2 parts 3746A (resin) to 1 part 3746B (hardener) by volume. Mix with low-speed drill and Jiffy blade for three minutes until uniform. To ensure proper system cure and performance, strictly follow mix ratio recommendations.
3. �Apply 3746 using a squeegee or trowel and back roll with a 1/4” nap roller at a spread rate of 200-300 square feet per gallon making sure of uniform coverage. Take care not to puddle materials and ensure even coverage.
4. �Allow material to self-level 10-15 minutes. Begin evenly broadcasting 6750/6755 vinyl chips into wet resin much the same as grass seed is spread. Vinyl chips should be broadcast in such a way that the chips fall lightly into resin without causing the resin to move. Continue broadcasting to excess until the floor appears completely dry.
5. �Allow to cure for 12 hours, sweep off excess vinyl chips with a stiff-bristled broom.
GROUT COAT

2. �Add 2 parts 3746A (resin) to 1 part 3746B (hardener) by volume. Mix with low-speed drill and Jiffy blade for three minutes until uniform. To ensure proper system cure and performance, strictly follow mix ratio recommendations.
3. �Apply 3746 using a squeegee or trowel and backroll with a 1/4” nap roller at a spread rate of 160-250 square feet per gallon making sure of uniform coverage. Take care not to puddle materials and ensure even coverage.
4.�Allow to cure before applying seal coat. (Cure times vary depending on environmental conditions.)
SEAL COAT
1. � Premix 4686A (resin) using a low-speed drill and Jiffy blade.
Mix for one minute until uniform, exercising caution not to introduce air into the material.
2. �Add 1 part 4686A (resin) to 1 part 4686B (hardener) by volume. Mix with low-speed drill and Jiffy blade for three minutes until uniform. To ensure proper system cure and performance, strictly follow mix ratio recommendations.
3. �Apply 4686 using a 1/4” nap roller at a spread rate of 250- 400 square feet per gallon, evenly, with no puddles making sure of uniform coverage. Take care not to puddle materials and ensure even coverage.
4. �Allow to cure for 24 hours minimum before opening to light foot traffic.
5. �If a second seal coat is required, lightly sand and wipe clean prior to coating.
