Technical Specifications Page 2

RE-PAINT 500,000 GALLON BEDROCK WATER TANK

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 SCOPE

A. The work of this section includes the surface preparation and painting of all surfaces
related to the “Bedrock Water Tank”; a 500,000 gallon elevated water storage tank
located at 818 Bedrock Dr. Fayetteville, NC. The scope of work includes but is not
limited to pressure washing the interior and exterior of the tank and coating as specified.

1.02 REFERENCE SPECIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS

A. Without limiting the general aspects of other requirements of these specifications, all
surface preparation, coating and painting of surfaces shall conform to the applicable
requirements of the Steel Structures Painting Council, NACE, ICRI, CSP and the
manufacturer's printed instructions.

B. The Owner’s decision shall be final as the interpretation and/or conflict between any of
the referenced specifications and standards contained herein.

1.03 CONTRACTOR

A. The Contractor shall have five years practical experience and successful history in the
application of specified products in similar projects. He shall substantiate this
requirement by furnishing a list of references and job completions.

B. Applicator must successfully demonstrate to the product manufacturer the ability to

apply the material correctly and within the confines of the specifications. The
Contractor must provide a letter from the manfacture stating their acceptance of the
Contactor for this project to apply these products.

C. The Contractor shall possess the applicable license to perform the work as herein
described and as specified by local, state and federal laws.

D. The Contractor shall provide a site mock up with each paint system as a representative of
how the systems shall be installed and their final appearance, which is to be approved by
the Owner before any work is started. For overcoat projects this mock up shall be used
to test for adequate adhesion. This approved mock up shall be the quality standard for
the rest of the project.

Re-paint 500,000 Gallon Bedrock Water Tank TS - 1

1.04 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. General: Quality assurance procedures and practices shall be utilized to monitor all
phases of surface preparation, application, and inspection throughout the duration of the
project. Procedures or practices not specifically defined herein may be utilized provided
they meet recognized and accepted professional standards and are approved by the
Owner.

B. Surface Preparation: Surface preparation will be based upon comparison with: "Pictorial
Surface Preparation Standards for Painting Steel Surfaces", SSPC-Vis-1 and ASTM
Designation D2200; "Standard Methods of Evaluating Degree of Rusting on Painted
Steel Surfaces" SSPC-Vis-2 and ASTM Designation D610; "Visual Standard for
Surfaces of New Steel Airblast Cleaned with Sand Abrasive" or “Guideline for Selecting
and Specifying Concrete Surface Preparation for Sealers, Coatiing and and Polymer
Overlays” and ICRI CSP Surface Profile Chips.

C. Application: No coating or paint shall be applied: When the surrounding air temperature
or the temperature of the surface to be coated is below the minimum required
temperature for the specified product; to wet or damp surfaces or in fog or mist; when
the temperature is less than 5 degrees F. above the dewpoint; when the air temperature is
expected to drop below 40 degrees F. within six hours after application of coating.
Dewpoint shall be measured by use of an instrument such as a Sling Psychrometer in
conjunction with U.S. Department of Commerce Weather Bureau Psychrometric Tables.
If above conditions are prevalent, coating or painting shall be delayed or postponed until
conditions are favorable. The day's coating or painting shall be completed in time to
permit the film sufficient drying time prior to damage by atmospheric conditions.

D. Thickness and Holiday Checking: Thickness of coatings and paint shall be checked with
a non-destructive, magnetic type thickness gauge. The integrity of coated interior
surfaces shall be tested with an approved inspection device. Non-destructive holiday
detectors shall not exceed the voltage recommended by the manufacturer of the coating
system. For thicknesses between 10 and 20 mils (250 microns and 500 microns), a
non-sudsing type wetting agent, such as Kodak Photo-Flo, may be added to the water
prior to wetting the detector sponge. All pinholes shall be marked, repaired in
accordance with the manufacturer's printed recommendations, and retested. No pinholes
or other irregularities will be permitted in the final coating.

E. Inspection Devices: The Contractor shall furnish, until final acceptance of coating and
painting, inspection devices in good working condition for detection of holidays and
measurement of dry-film thickness of coating and paint. The Contractor shall also

Re-paint 500,000 Gallon Bedrock Water Tank TS - 2

 furnish U.S. Department of Commerce; National Bureau of Standard certified thickness
calibration plates to test accuracy of dry film thickness gauges and certified
instrumentation to test accuracy of holiday detectors.

F. All necessary testing equipment shall be made available for the Owner’s use at all times
until final acceptance of application. Holiday detection devices shall be operated in the
presence of the Owner.

G. All parties, to include the owner or owners representative, contractor, applicator,

installer, any subs and the product manufacture, shall meet prior to any work is started to
review the spec and discuss job specific expectations, need and requirements.

1. 05 SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS

helmets, which shall be worn by all persons while in the vicinity of the work. In
addition, workers engaged in or near the work during sandblasting shall wear eye and
face protection devices and air purifying halfmask or mouthpiece respirators with
appropriate filters. Barrier creams shall be used on any exposed areas of skin.

C. Ventilation: Where ventilation is used to control hazardous exposure, all equipment shall
be explosion-proof. Ventilation shall reduce the concentration of air contaminant to the
degree a hazard does not exist. Air circulation and exhausting of solvent vapors shall be
continued until coatings have fully cured.

D. Sound Levels: Whenever the occupational noise exposure exceeds maximum allowable
sound levels, the Contractor shall provide and require the use of approved ear protective
devices.

E. Illumination: Adequate illumination shall be provided while work is in progress,

including explosion-proof lights and electrical equipment. Whenever required by the
Owner, the Contractor shall provide additional illumination and necessary supports to
