Curing times and ventilation requirements of the paint manufacturer shall be strictly enforced by the CONTRACTOR. Repair & Paint 009870 - 18 Countryview & Bluewater Tanks (2014) Job No. 41-459 Packet Pg. 271  2. The CONTRACTOR shall have sufficient Wet Film Thickness Gauges and a calibrated Dry Film Thickness Gauge on the premises during all working hours after any painting begins. 3. In addition to the minimum and maximum dry film requirements (See Appendix, Table 1), all sags, runs, pinholes, craters, roller nap, and other irregularities which would be detrimental to the life or appearance of the coating(s) shall be removed and repaired at no additional cost to the OWNER. 4. Finish coats shall be uniform in color, hide and sheen (gloss) without streaks, laps, runs, drips, sags or missed areas. B. Painting Environment 1. All temperature and humidity requirements of the paint manufacturer's published product data shall be followed. 2. In addition, no painting shall be done when the relative humidity is greater than 80%, or the temperature of the steel is or is expected to be less than 5 degrees F above the dew point temperature during application and until the coating has cured to resist moisture in accordance with the manufacturer's published product data. 3. The CONTRACTOR shall have wet bulb-dry bulb measuring equipment and steel temperature measuring equipment on the job at all times. Readings shall be recorded at the beginning and end of each painting session and at no less than two (2) hour intervals. Wind velocities during exterior painting shall be compatible for the quality application of the exterior coatings. Measurements shall be recorded on the Daily Coatings Report. 4. Minimum Temperature a. Each component shall be maintained at a minimum of 75 degrees F prior to mixing. b. The mixed coatings shall also be maintained at a minimum of 65 degrees F during application. c. All costs associated with keeping the coating material at the minimum specified temperature shall be included in the Base Bid. 5. Mixing of Coatings a. Each component shall be thoroughly mixed on-site with a power agitator in accordance with the manufacturer’s printed instructions to ensure no pigment remains on the bottom of the container. b. An entire kit shall be mixed together to ensure proper ratios of components. c. The container shall be large enough to hold all components to be mixed, Repair & Paint 009870 - 19 Countryview & Bluewater Tanks (2014) Job No. 41-459 Packet Pg. 272  including thinner. The combined material shall be thoroughly mixed with a power agitator that shall be driven by a 3/4" drill motor not exceeding 300 rpm and which do not cause air entrainment to achieve a uniform consistency. d. Adherence to proper induction times and re-coat schedule for the combined coating material shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's published product data. No coating shall be applied until the minimum induction time has been reached. 6. Coatings Application a. Methods of application are at the discretion of the CONTRACTOR as long as the materials are applied in accordance with the manufacturer's published data and the end results are in compliance with these specifications (including all others inferred by reference). b. Brushes shall be: Purdy Corporation, Professional Quality, Black China Bristle Series, or Wooster Brush Company Pro 10, Professional Quality, Black China, sash and trim brushes, or approved equal. c. Rollers shall be Purdy Corporation, Professional Quality, Lambskin rollers with phenolic core, or Wooster Brush Company, Professional Quality, Resin/Coat Rollers, or Premier Lint Free, Epoxy Bonded to Phenolic Core, Premier Richmond Hill, NY, or approved equal. d. Techniques shall be used which will not allow coating droplets to travel from the base of the tank or escape from the containment apparatus. e. Prior to the cleaning or coating of any surface, the CONTRACTOR shall present a written plan for approval by the PROJECT REPRESENTATIVE and the ENGINEER concerning how abrasive and/or paint damage to automobiles and property will be handled, including a process for quick removal of the abrasive or paint, and who will do the Work. This approval in no way shall relieve the CONTRACTOR from the responsibility of settling claims for damage, but is intended as an avenue to expedite and minimize said claims. 7. Coating Thickness a. Dry film thicknesses (DFT) specified in the attached painting schedule (see Appendix, Table 1), are dry mil thicknesses measured in accordance with Steel Structures Painting Council SSPC-PA-2, Paint Application Specification No. 2, “Measurement of Dry Paint Thickness with Magnetic Gauges.” Painting Contractor shall apply additional coats as necessary to achieve the specified minimum dry film thickness range per coat. b. The thickness of each type paint is essential to the system's integrity (see Appendix, Table 1). The addition of mils in a succeeding coat of a different generic type or formulation to make up for thin preceding coat(s) shall not be allowed. If a thicker finish coat is needed to hide the underlying darker color on the exterior of the tank, a thicker coat may be applied, but it shall not exceed the Repair & Paint 009870 - 20 Countryview & Bluewater Tanks (2014) Job No. 41-459 Packet Pg. 273  maximum allowable thickness recommended by the coating manufacturer. c. Under no circumstances shall the dry film thickness of an individual coat or of the total coating system exceed the coating manufacturer's maximum allowable thickness limit. f. Dry mil thickness greater than the coating manufacturer's maximum allowable thickness shall be considered unacceptable and shall be removed by the CONTRACTOR at no additional cost to the OWNER at the direction of the ENGINEER and OWNER. g. Some coatings may require additional coats applied to achieve the specified thickness when applied by brush or roller. No additional compensation shall be made for additional coats required to achieve the specified minimum thickness. 8. Surface Conditions a. The surfaces to be painted shall be free from mud, oil, grease, dust, moisture, salts, and other foreign material which would cause adhesion or other problems in the finished product. b. If field tests by the ENGINEER find questionable amounts of contamination on the steel surfaces or painted surfaces to be top-coated, a representative of the paint manufacturer may be called to examine the surfaces in question and determine if the surfaces are in accordance with these Detailed Technical Specifications and the manufacturer's published product data. 9. Painting Schedule a. The tank should be entirely cleaned and primed prior to the start of the
