• Material men and deliverymen are not covered under prevailing wage as long as they are not directly involved in the construction process. If, they unload the material, they would then be covered by prevailing wage for the classification they are performing work in: laborer, equipment operator, etc. • Hauling material off site is not covered provided they are not dumping it at a location outlined above. • Driving a truck on site and moving equipment or materials on site would be considered covered work, as this is part of the construction process.

Any questions regarding the proper classification should be directed to:

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION:

A. Examine substrates, areas, and conditions, with the Applicator present, under which painting will

be performed for compliance with paint application requirements.

1. Do not begin to apply paint until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected and surfaces

receiving paint are thoroughly dry.

2. Start of painting will be construed as the Applicator's acceptance of surfaces and conditions

within a particular area.

B. Coordination of Work: Review other Sections in which primers are provided to ensure

compatibility of the total system for various substrates. On request, furnish information on

characteristics of finish materials to ensure use of compatible primers.

1. Notify the Architect about anticipated problems using the materials specified over substrates

primed by others.

3.2 PREPARATION:

A. General: Remove hardware and hardware accessories, plates, machined surfaces, lighting fixtures,

and similar items already installed that are not to be painted. If removal is impractical or

impossible because of the size or weight of the item, provide surface-applied protection before

surface preparation and painting.

1. After completing painting operations in each space or area, reinstall items removed using

workers skilled in the trades involved.

B. Cleaning: Before applying paint or other surface treatments, clean the substrates of substances that

could impair the bond of the various coatings. Remove oil and grease before cleaning.

1. Schedule cleaning and painting so dust and other contaminants from the cleaning process

will not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces.

021317253 Painting

H15020.03 099100 - 6


SAXE MIDDLE SCHOOL

486 SOUTH AVENUE


C. Surface Preparation: Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted according to manufacturer's written

instructions for each particular substrate condition and as specified.

1. Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or remove and reprime.

2. Cementitious Materials: Prepare concrete, concrete masonry block, cement plaster, and

mineral-fiber-reinforced cement panel surfaces to be painted. Remove efflorescence, chalk,

dust, dirt, grease, oils, and release agents. Roughen as required to remove glaze. If

hardeners or sealers have been used to improve curing, use mechanical methods of surface

preparation.

a. Use abrasive blast-cleaning methods if recommended by paint manufacturer.

b. Determine alkalinity and moisture content of surfaces by performing appropriate

tests. If surfaces are sufficiently alkaline to cause the finish paint to blister and burn,

correct this condition before application. Do not paint surfaces where moisture

content exceeds that permitted in manufacturer's written instructions.

3. Ferrous Metals: Clean ungalvanized ferrous-metal surfaces that have not been shop coated;

remove oil, grease, dirt, loose mill scale, and other foreign substances. Use solvent or

mechanical cleaning methods that comply with the Steel Structures Painting Council's

(SSPC) recommendations.

a. Touch up bare areas and shop-applied prime coats that have been damaged. Wire-

brush, clean with solvents recommended by paint manufacturer, and touch up with

the same primer as the shop coat.

4. Galvanized Surfaces: Clean galvanized surfaces with nonpetroleum-based solvents so

surface is free of oil and surface contaminants. Remove pretreatment from galvanized sheet

metal fabricated from coil stock by mechanical methods.

D. Materials Preparation: Mix and prepare paint materials according to manufacturer's written

instructions.

1. Maintain containers used in mixing and applying paint in a clean condition, free of foreign

materials and residue.

2. Stir material before application to produce a mixture of uniform density. Stir as required

during application. Do not stir surface film into material. If necessary, remove surface film

and strain material before using.

3. Use only thinners approved by paint manufacturer and only within recommended limits.

E. Tinting: Tint each undercoat a lighter shade to simplify identification of each coat when multiple

coats of the same material are applied. Tint undercoats to match the color of the finish coat, but

provide sufficient differences in shade of undercoats to distinguish each separate coat.

3.3 APPLICATION:

A. General: Apply paint according to manufacturer's written instructions. Use applicators and

techniques best suited for substrate and type of material being applied.

1. Paint colors, surface treatments, and finishes are indicated in the schedules.

021317253 Painting

H15020.03 099100 - 7


SAXE MIDDLE SCHOOL

486 SOUTH AVENUE


2. Do not paint over dirt, rust, scale, grease, moisture, scuffed surfaces, or conditions

detrimental to formation of a durable paint film.

3. Provide finish coats that are compatible with primers used.

4. The term "exposed surfaces" includes areas visible when permanent or built-in fixtures,

convector covers, covers for finned-tube radiation, grilles, and similar components are in

place. Extend coatings in these areas, as required, to maintain the system integrity and

provide desired protection.

5. Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture the same as similar exposed

surfaces. Before the final installation of equipment, paint surfaces behind permanently fixed

equipment or furniture with prime coat only.

6. Paint interior surfaces of ducts with a flat, nonspecular black paint where visible through

registers or grilles.

7. Paint back sides of access panels and removable or hinged covers to match exposed

surfaces.

8. Finish exterior doors on tops, bottoms, and side edges the same as exterior faces.

B. Scheduling Painting: Apply first coat to surfaces that have been cleaned, pretreated, or otherwise

prepared for painting as soon as practicable after preparation and before subsequent surface

deterioration.

1. The number of coats and the film thickness required are the same regardless of application

method. Do not apply succeeding coats until the previous coat has cured as recommended

by the manufacturer. If sanding is required to produce a smooth, even surface according to

manufacturer's written instructions, sand between applications.

2. Omit primer on metal surfaces that have been shop primed and touchup painted.

3. If undercoats, stains, or other conditions show through final coat of paint, apply additional

coats until paint film is of uniform finish, color, and appearance. Give special attention to

ensure edges, corners, crevices, welds, and exposed fasteners receive a dry film thickness

equivalent to that of flat surfaces.

4. Allow sufficient time between successive coats to permit proper drying. Do not recoat

surfaces until paint has dried to where it feels firm, does not deform or feel sticky under

moderate thumb pressure, and where application of another coat of paint does not cause the

undercoat to lift or lose adhesion.

C. Application Procedures: Apply paints and coatings by brush, roller, spray, or other applicators

according to manufacturer's written instructions.

1. Brushes: Use brushes best suited for the type of material applied. Use brush of appropriate

size for the surface or item being painted.

2. Rollers: Use rollers of carpet, velvet back, or high-pile sheep's wool as recommended by

the manufacturer for the material and texture required.

3. Spray Equipment: Use airless spray equipment with orifice size as recommended by the

manufacturer for the material and texture required.

D. Minimum Coating Thickness: Apply paint materials no thinner than manufacturer's recommended

spreading rate. Provide the total dry film thickness of the entire system as recommended by the

manufacturer.

H15020.03 099100 - 8


SAXE MIDDLE SCHOOL

486 SOUTH AVENUE


E. Block Fillers: Apply block fillers to concrete masonry block at a rate to ensure complete coverage

with pores filled.

F. Prime Coats: Before applying finish coats, apply a prime coat of material, as recommended by the

manufacturer, to material that is required to be painted or finished and that has not been prime

coated by others. Recoat primed and sealed surfaces where evidence of suction spots or unsealed

areas in first coat appears, to ensure a finish coat with no burn through or other defects due to

insufficient sealing.

G. Pigmented (Opaque) Finishes: Completely cover surfaces as necessary to provide a smooth,

opaque surface of uniform finish, color, appearance, and coverage. Cloudiness, spotting, holidays,

laps, brush marks, runs, sags, ropiness, or other surface imperfections will not be acceptable.

H. Completed Work: Match approved samples for color, texture, and coverage. Remove, refinish,

or repaint work not complying with requirements.

3.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL:

A. The Owner reserves the right to invoke the following test procedure at any time and as often as the

Owner deems necessary during the period when paint is being applied:

1. The Owner will engage the services of an independent testing agency to sample the paint

material being used. Samples of material delivered to the Project will be taken, identified,

sealed, and certified in the presence of the Contractor.

2. The testing agency will perform appropriate tests for the following characteristics as

required by the Owner:

a. Quantitative material analysis.

b. Abrasion resistance.

c. Apparent reflectivity.

d. Flexibility.

e. Washability.

f. Absorption.

h. Dry opacity.

i. Accelerated yellowness.

j. Recoating.

k. Skinning.

l. Color retention.

m. Alkali and mildew resistance.

3. The Owner may direct the Contractor to stop painting if test results show material being

used does not comply with specified requirements. The Contractor shall remove

noncomplying paint from the site, pay for testing, and repaint surfaces previously coated

with the rejected paint. If necessary, the Contractor may be required to remove rejected

paint from previously painted surfaces if, on repainting with specified paint, the 2 coatings

are incompatible.
