SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

SPECIFICATION CHANGES (0003)

Amendment 0003 Specification Changes:

SECTION 05 50 13.00 13 TOW HAULAGE RAIL CLIP ASSEMBLIES:

This section has been modified to address a bidder inquiry concerning the requirement that the Contractors’ paint shop be SSPC QP3 qualified. In addressing this inquiry it was determined that very few paint shops meet this qualification. Quality control requirements were modified to require the Contractor to provide an NACE certified Coating Inspector to inspect prepping and painting operations at the Contractor’s painting facility.

The required changes to the specification section are as follows:

One reference was added to the section. It is as follows:

ASTM D4417 (2011) Field Measurement of Surface Profile of Blast Cleaned Steel

Three new submittals were added. They are as follows:

SD-04 Samples

Coating Inspection Forms

Provide Coating Inspection Forms in accordance with paragraph entitled, "Coating Inspection," of this section.

SD-06 Test Reports

Coating Inspection Reports

Provide Coating Inspection Reports in accordance with paragraph entitled, "Coating Inspection," of this section.

SD-07 Certificates

Certified Coating Inspector; G

Provide NACE certificate for the Contractor's coating inspector.

One submittal was deleted. It is as follows:

SD-07 Certificates

SSPC QP 3 Certificate; G

Paragraph 1.6.3 Qualified Painting Contractor was replaced with the following paragraph for the Certified Coating Inspector:

1.6.3 Certified Coating Inspector

The Contractor shall provide an NACE Certified Coating Inspector for all preparation and painting work done for the rail clip assemblies at the Contractor's painting facility.

Paragraph 2.3.1.1 was edited to better define surface preparation requirements. The modified paragraph is as follows:

2.3.1.1 Surface Preparation

Blast clean surfaces in accordance with SSPC SP 5/NACE No. 1. The blast profile shall be 1.5 to 2.5 mils as measured by ASTM D4417, Method C. Appropriate abrasive blast media shall be used to produce the desired surface profile and to give an angular anchor tooth pattern. If recycled blast media is used, an appropriate particle size distribution shall be maintained so that the specified profile is consistently obtained. Steel shot or other abrasives that do not produce an angular profile shall not be used. Weld spatter not dislodged by blasting shall be removed with impact or grinding tools and the areas reblasted prior to painting. Surfaces shall be dry at the time of blasting. Wash cleaned surfaces which become contaminated with rust, dirt, oil, grease, or other contaminants with solvents until thoroughly clean. Steel to be embedded in concrete shall be free of dirt and grease.

Paragraph 2.3.1.2 was edited to remove reference to the Contractor’s SSPC certified paint shop. The revised paragraph is as follows:

Coating System for Fabricated Tow Haulage Rail Clip Assembly

Coating system number 23-C-Z shall be applied to the fabricated tow haulage rail clip assembly, except that the surface preparation shall be white metal blast cleaning. The coating system shall be applied according to the manufacturer's written instructions by the Contractor's painting facility. It shall be a 3-coat system. All materials shall be procured from the same coating manufacturer. The individual paints comprising the system shall have been tested and passed all the requirements of the applicable SSPC standards. SSPC Paint 36 shall be qualified to Accelerated Weathering Level 3 and shall be a semigloss urethane in a gray color that approximates color number 26231 of FED-STD-595. Application shall be by spray in accordance with the manufacturer's written instructions. Dry film thickness per coat shall be that recommended by the manufacturer. Application of the system in less than three coats shall not be accepted. The coatings shall be mixed and thinned in accordance with the manufacturers written directions. Coating material that has exceeded the manufacturer's pot life shall not be applied. Materials that have thickened appreciably shall not be applied. The manufacturer's recommendations for minimum and maximum dry time between coats shall be met. Areas of bubbling noted upon curing of any individual coat shall be removed by sanding or screening.

The edges of the repaired areas shall be feathered and the coat reapplied to the repaired areas before a subsequent coat is applied.

Paragraph 3.1 Coating Inspection has been inserted into part 3. This has necessitated the renumbering of the subsequent paragraphs. Paragraph 3.1 is as follows:

3.1 COATING INSPECTION

The Contractor's NACE Certified Coating Inspector shall be present at the pre-construction conference to address necessary clarification of inspection and specification requirements as they relate to the preparation and painting of the rail clip assemblies. The Coating Inspector shall also be present at the Contractor's painting facility during all preparatory and painting operations. Any apparent deviation from the specified requirements or any out of tolerance condition shall be immediately reported to the Contracting Officer for determination of corrective action. The Contractor shall submit coating inspection reports performed by the Coating Inspector.

Coating Inspection Forms used by the Coating Inspector shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer prior to delivery of the coated work to the job site.

The following paragraphs have been revised and are replaced in their entirety:

SECTION 01 22 00.00 10 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

1.4.1 Demolition of Existing Tow Haulage Rail Clips

1.4.1.1 Payment

Payment will be made for furnishing all materials, equipment and labor and performing all operations necessary to complete demolition of the existing tow haulage rail clips as shown and specified. Work shall include, but not be limited to, removal and proper offsite disposal or recycling of existing tow haulage rail clips, cutting off of the existing tow haulage rail clip anchors flush with the concrete guidewall surface, and coating the surface of the cut off anchors with Government furnished paint. Removal and temporary storage of the tow haulage rail and any other work required to complete the demolition shall be included in the bid price.

SECTION 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES

3.3 SCHEDULING

Adequate time (a minimum of 30 calendar days exclusive of mailing time) shall be allowed and shown on the register for review and approval of submittals, unless specified otherwise in this specification. With the exception of painting product samples, submittals for Section 05 50 13.00 13 TOW HAULAGE RAIL CLIP ASSEMBLIES will require a maximum turnaround time of 7 calendar days. Allowable turnaround time for painting product samples submittals shall be as specified. Submittals covering component items forming a system or items that are interrelated shall be scheduled to be coordinated and submitted concurrently.

Certifications to be submitted with the pertinent drawings shall be so scheduled. No delay damages or time extensions will be allowed for time lost in late submittals. The submittal register shall provide for a reasonable timely distribution of shop drawings as they are prepared (particularly within a specific discipline, i.e.:

structural, mechanical).

SECTION 02 41 00 DEMOLITION

3.1 DEMOLITION OF EXISTING TOW HAULAGE RAIL CLIPS

The Contractor shall remove and properly dispose of all existing tow haulage rail clips, cut off existing anchors flush with the concrete guidewall surface, and coat the surfaces of the cutoff anchors with vinyl paint supplied by the Government. The Contractor shall employ methods that do not damage the existing concrete when removing the tow haulage rail clips. Paint shall be applied to the surfaces of the cutoff anchors during the period in which demolition of the existing rail clips is being conducted when air temperatures are at or above 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Two coats shall be applied with a minimum of two hours cure time between coats. The Contractor shall employ painting methods that prevent paint from being applied to the adjacent concrete surface. Any steps required to insure the safety of Contractor personnel during the application of the vinyl paint shall be addressed in the Contractor's Accident Prevention Plan and Activity Hazard Analysis. The material safety data sheet for the vinyl paint is included as an attachment at the end of this section.
