properties most affected by the aircraft operations. Toward this end, the program provides
for the improvement of openings in the exterior envelope using known technology and
quality workmanship. The purpose of this project is to account for existing noise and
demonstrate the benefits in noise reduction that have occurred based on the improvements
in the building envelope that were made. Sound testing will occur when the building
envelope improvements are completed. Small openings, cracks, and gaps can be
significant sound leaks and effect test results. Special attention will be given to caulking
where called for, as well as careful alignment of building elements.
3. Key West by the Sea (KWBTS) is an environmentally sensitive, multi-family gated
residential condominium. During the scheduled construction of each individual
condominium unit, the property owner or tenant will relocate during their assigned
construction period. When developing the detailed construction schedule, the Contractor
is encouraged to minimize the number of calendar days of construction in each
condominium unit to reduce the property owner's total relocation time. The remainder of
KWBTS buildings must remain fully accessible and operational during the progress of the
work.

A. The buildings and premises included in the scope of this Contract are currently occupied. The
work is to be done with as little inconvenience as reasonably possible and without danger to
persons visiting or occupying the premises and the permanent structures within the project
area. Special care must be exercised in the use of machinery so as not to constitute a source
of danger or nuisance. When regulated by local building code or other authority, such
requirements for protections shall be considered as minimum requirements and the Contractor
shall be responsible for providing protection to meet such minimum requirements as may be
required by public safety laws.
B. Protective measures will be required to adequately protect the Property Owners, KWBTS staff,
occupants and the general public from hazards resulting from contract work, to exclude
unauthorized persons from the work, and shall be provided and maintained in good repair by
the Contractor. All work areas shall be barricaded and fully manned to maintain traffic away
from work areas. Work in progress shall not be left unattended until that portion of the work is

sight of all tools and materials to prevent accidental injury. Unattended tools or power operated
equipment will be promptly removed by the Program Manager and will not be returned until the
end of the work day.
C. Prior to construction, the Program Manager will develop a "Designated Furniture Storage
Sketch" for each condominium based specifically on its proposed scope of work. This sketch
will define the areas within the Living Room and Bedrooms that the Property Owner will have
the ability to store furniture and belongings, utilizing the space from floor to ceiling. Generally,
this sketch will also define a "work clear area" for the Contractor that provides a 3-foot clearance
from all windows, a 5-foot clearance from sliding patio doors and a 5-foot clearance for a
corridor that spans the entire length of the condominium from the entry door through the living
room to provide access for ceiling cuts. The Property Owner will be required to provide a space
of 12" from all walls when stacking furniture in their "Designated Furniture Storage Sketch"
areas.
D. The Contractor shall provide, install and maintain temporary impact &dust protection in the form
of 3 mil. polyethylene sheeting (poly), canvas tarps, floor pads, drop cloths or other appropriate
items to minimize both damage and dust infiltration to the premises and its contents. The
Contractor is required to provide sealed poly protection in numerous areas in the interior of the
condominium to include, but not limited to: stored furniture, entrances to bathrooms, closet
doors, smoke alarms, Ductless AC Units, kitchen cabinets and countertops, walls and lighting
fixtures, etc. The Contractor is required to provide protection to all floors and walls in the
condominium to prevent marking and damage.
E. The Contractor shall take special measures to protect the occupants from noise, dust, and other
disturbances. Complete the following on a daily basis:
1. Keep common circulation areas clean and unobstructed throughout the day.
2. Insulate work areas from occupied portions as far as possible.
3. Seal dust and fumes from contaminating the adjacent and occupied spaces.

cleaning, vacuuming, and washing as required and as directed, in order to leave the site
in as clean a condition as existed prior to the start of the work.
5. Clean work areas at the end of each day with a HEPA-filtered vacuum.
F. The Contractor shall take special measures to protect product, integrity of installations, and
occupants from inclement weather conditions with reference to, but not limited to the following:
1. All exposed openings not in progress of work are to be protected with 6 mil poly vapor
barriers to prevent excessive conditioned air loss and secure against inclement weather.
2. Sealant and caulking when used under the environmental conditions outlined under
Division 7 Thermal and Moisture Protection shall be stored and handled to prevent
deterioration by keeping joint substrates and sealers protected and dry as required.
3. The Contractor is solely responsible for maintaining suitable temperature and ventilation
for painting and staining work. All wood surfaces are to be pre-painted before
installation. No exterior painting/staining shall be undertaken if air or surface temperature
is below 50 degrees F nor immediately following rain or until frost, dew, or condensation
has evaporated. A minimum interior temperature of 65 degrees F shall be maintained
during application and drying of paint. Adequate ventilation shall be maintained at all
times.

1. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
I.I. Airport Sponsor
As the recipient of an AIP grant, the airport sponsor must conform to the terms and conditions of
the grant agreement and the obligations established under the associated grant assurances. As
such, sponsors are the contractual authority that administers any proposed contract Change
Order. Sponsors are responsible for settling all contractual and administrative issues that arise
from their procurement actions. To remain eligible, such actions must conform to the approved
scope of work as defined in the Grant description and the accepted plans and specifications. As
they pertain to Change Orders, sponsor responsibilities include:
l. Maintaining records that detail the significant history of their procurement actions,
including Change Orders.
2. Documenting a clear and accurate description of the technical requirements for the
material,product, or service to be procured.
3. Preparing an independent estimate prior to receiving a Change Order proposal from the
contractor.
4. Performing some form of a cost or price analysis for all contract modifications.
5. Negotiating profit as a separate element of price for each Change Order in which a cost
analysis is necessary.
6. Making available to the FAA specialist all required documentation, which may include
additional supporting documentation as requested by the FAA specialist.
7. Providing justification for why the Change Order is necessary for completion of the AIP-
funded project.
1.2. FAA Airports Personnel
FAA Airports Personnel are responsible for reviewing the sponsor's Change Order request and
determining if the Change Order is eligible and justified for potential funding under an AIP
grant. Their responsibilities include:
1. Reviewing all Change Orders to determine AIP eligibility.
2. Determining whether a portion of the Change Order cost or associated costs (i.e., design
or inspection costs) are due to errors and omissions.
3. Ascertaining whether additional costs are directly related to the approved scope of work
and are necessary to accomplish the project.
4. Verifying Change Order elements conform to AIP standards and requirements.
5. Preparing correspondence documenting the FAA specialist's determination of AIP
eligibility.
6. Archiving the eligibility decision in the project file.
1
ARP SOP No. 7.00 Effective Date: October 1, 2015
2. PROCESS AND PROCEDURES
2.1. General Characteristics of Change Orders
Change Orders occur on AIP-funded projects for a variety of reasons. Some Change Order work
items may be eligible while other work items may not. Change Order work items that are
otherwise allowable under the AIP may become ineligible if the sponsor does not conform to
AIP requirements for establishing reasonableness of price. It is the FAA specialist's
responsibility to evaluate each Change Order item for AIP eligibility based on
• Allowability
• Justification
• Reasonableness of price
Table 2-1 addresses common Change Order types and useful information associated with each
type. A sponsor's Change Order may include one or more of the Change Order types depending
on the specific Change Order situation.

2.2. Standard Change Order Process
The standard process for reviewing a Change Order assumes sufficient time is available for the
sponsor to properly define the scope of the Change Order work item and to negotiate a firm fixed
price that is fair and equitable. The process for administering an emergency Change Order differs
slightly from the standard Change Order process. Refer to Section 2.3 to learn more about
emergency Change Orders.

ARP SOP No. 7.00 Effective Date: October 1, 2015
2.2.1. Step 1: Receive Change Order from Sponsor
Unless specifically requested by the FAA specialist, the sponsor does not have to obtain prior
FAA approval for contract changes. However, if a sponsor proceeds with a contract change
without prior FAA approval, it is at the sponsor's risk. The FAA specialist's review at a later
date determines which portion of Change Order costs are eligible for AIP participation. Sponsors
that submit proposed Change Orders to the FAA for review prior to execution can avoid
incurring costs for work items the FAA determines are ineligible.
Sponsors may not request reimbursement under the AIP for any Change Order work item unless
the FAA has approved AIP participation in the Change Order work item.
2.2.2. Step 2: Screen Change Order for Adequacy of Information
This step represents an efficiency measure to limit the time spent reviewing a Change Order that
has inadequate documentation or that is clearly not eligible.
1. Verify if the Change Order addresses work associated with the approved scope of work.
If the extra work does not fall within the approved scope of work, the FAA specialist may
end the review with a non-approval determination.
2. Verify if the provided documentation is sufficient to allow the FAA specialist to evaluate
the Change Order for AIP eligibility. Refer to Appendix B for Change Order
documentation. Contact the sponsor if documentation is insufficient.
2.2.3. Step 3: Evaluate Change Order for Eligibility
2.2.3.1. Evaluate Change Order for Allowability
To verify the sponsor's due diligence, the FAA specialist reviews the Change Order to determine
if the extra work is allowable or if deleting a contract work item causes project elements to
become non-allowable. To be allowable, the work item costs must be necessary to accomplish
the original scope of work, as per the grant agreement and accepted plans and specifications. The
evaluation of allowability involves the following checks:
1. Verify the extra work does not involve non-allowable work as established within FAA
Order 5100.38, AIP Handbook.
2. Verify the extra work conforms to applicable FAA Standards for design and construction
(e.g., AC 150/5370-10 and AC 150/5300-13,Airport Design).
3. Verify the Change Order does not adversely affect compliance with applicable AIP
procurement requirements such as Buy American Preferences and Disadvantage Business
Enterprise participation:
a. Buy American Preference. For new contract work items, evaluate the item for
conformance with AIP preference for 100-percent U.S.-made product. If the item is
less than 100-percent U.S. domestic product or if it is not already included on the
FAA-approved list of Buy American waivers, the sponsor must obtain appropriate
2 This does not apply to necessary contract quantity adjustments,which are permitted under Section 90 of Advisory
Circular 150/5370-10.
4
Effective Date: October 1, 2015 ARP SOP No. 7.00
information from the contractor to support a permissible waiver. If the Change Order
is deleting a work item, the FAA specialist must assess the effect the deletion may
have on any previously approved Buy American waiver.
Note: Under an FAA AIP Buy American Type III waiver, it is possible the new U.S.
domestic product content may drop below the previously approved percentage or
even below the 60-percent permissible threshold.
b. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE). Assess the effect the Change Order
may have on the previously accepted DBE participation percentage for the project. A
Change Order that removes work items proposed for a DBE firm will likely result in
an overall lower DBE participation percentage from that approved at the time of
contract award. The sponsor may need to encourage the contractor to identify other
opportunities for DBE participation that fulfill the original obligation.
c. Davis-Bacon. Assess whether or not the current wage rate schedule incorporated into
the contract addresses the labor classifications necessary for the Change Order work.
The current wage rate schedule may need to be incorporated into the Change Order.
2.2.3.2. Evaluate Change Order for Justification
The FAA specialist evaluates the Change Order work items to determine if the extra work or
deleted work items are justified. FAA Order 5 100.3 8 addresses three basic tests to establish
justification:
1. Work Advances AIP Policy. The added work items must be consistent with AIP goals
that address agency objectives such as safety, security, environment, capacity, and
preserving airport infrastructure.
2. Actual Need. The sponsor must demonstrate to FAA satisfaction why it is necessary to
add or delete the work item(s) addressed in the Change Order in order to complete the
project as intended under the original approved scope of work. The FAA specialist
evaluates the Change Order to determine:
a. If the sponsor has established need for the Change Order.
b. If the Change Order addresses re-work due to errors or omissions.
c. If a request to increase contract time is supported by documentation that demonstrates
delays were due to circumstances outside of the contractor's control.
3. Change Order Scope Is Appropriate. The extra work must be necessary to carry out
the project so a useable unit results at the conclusion of the project. The FAA specialist
evaluates the Change Order to determine:
a. If the additional work item exceeds FAA standards, resulting in unnecessary costs.
b. If the additional work items meet applicable AIP standards for design and
construction.
c. If deleting work items alters the original approved scope of work.
2.2.3.3. Check for Reasonableness of Costs
The FAA specialist makes the final determination of cost reasonableness as outlined in Chapter
3, Section 14, of FAA Order 5100.38, AIP Handbook. The FAA specialist makes this
5
ARP SOP No. 7.00 Effective Date: October 1, 2015
determination by issuing correspondence that conveys approval,partial approval, or disapproval.
In making this determination, the FAA specialists relies on a statement signed by the sponsor
that it has performed either a price or cost analysis and that it recommends the FAA accept the
price as fair and reasonable. The FAA specialist may ask the sponsor to submit additional
documentation (e.g., documentation that supports the price/cost analysis, bid abstracts from
recent projects, etc.)to support a determination of a fair and reasonable price.
2.2.4. Step 4: Initiate Correspondence for Action Taken
2.2.4.1. The FAA specialist prepares and submits correspondence that conveys to the sponsor a
determination of AIP eligibility. There are three potential Change Order actions and
correspondence:
1. Approved
2. Partially Approved
3. Disapproved
2.2.4.2. Because the sponsor has the option to submit changes as they occur or at the end of the
project, the FAA specialist can address each Change Order individually or collectively at the end
of the project, but also should not purposely refrain from making a determination of eligibility
until the end of the project.
2.2.4.3. The FAA specialist can use any of the following forms of correspondence:
• Hard copy letter
• Emailed copy of the action letter(approval,partial approval, disapproval)
• Email
2.2.4.4. In all cases, the correspondence must address the following minimum elements in Table
2-2 for the type of action being taken.

2.2.5. Step 5: Archive Correspondence in Grant File
The FAA specialist should archive the correspondence in the grant document file.
2.3. Emergency Change Order Process
An emergency Change Order addresses extra work that the sponsor and the FAA mutually agree
is time critical for mitigating an immediate safety or airport operational concern or addressing
differing site conditions that have the potential to adversely impact the project's progress.
Emergency Change Orders can result in premium prices for Change Order work. The
application of the emergency Change Order process should be limited to situations where it is
absolutely necessary. Insufficient planning and convenience are not adequate reasons to use the
emergency Change Order process.
Administration of emergency Change Order work differs from the standard process in that it is
typically in the best interest of the FAA to immediately commence extra work rather than wait
until the standard process is finished. Initial coordination of emergency Change Orders is
typically via telephone or email. The complete description of the work may not be readily
available to allow a contractor to determine the necessary level of effort and risk that may apply.
A valid emergency Change Order is a situation where the time and material (T&M)payment
approach is justified under the AIR
The steps for administering an emergency change will vary according to the extent and context
of the emergency. Generally, the Change Order process for valid emergencies begins with
required immediate actions but concludes with steps from the standard process flow.

2.3.1. Step 1: Initial Coordination
2.3.1.1. Initial coordination will generally be either verbal communication (i.e., telephone
conversation) or by email. If initial coordination is verbal, the FAA specialist should request the
caller to follow up the phone conversation with an email that documents the main discussion
points.
2.3.1.2. When initially discussing an emergency Change Order, the FAA specialist should
address the following issues:
1. What happened?
2. What are the immediate consequences?
a. Are airport operations adversely affected?
b. Are there immediate construction safety issues?
3. Is the Change Order allowable and justified?
Note: Characterizing the situation as an "emergency" does not make the work
automatically eligible.
a. Example 1: Immediate replacement or stabilizing of an isolated pocket of unsuitable
subgrade may be eligible.
b. Example 2: Mitigating subgrade due to discovery of hazardous contamination may
not be eligible.
4. What conversations has the sponsor had with the Contractor about corrective action?
5. How will Change Order costs be established?
a. For some emergency work items, cost data from current project(i.e., bid prices) and
recent AIP projects may be sufficient to establish reasonableness of costs under a
price analysis approach;
b. For most emergency work items, it may be impractical to determine the extent of
work or the level of required effort. In such cases, a time and material contract is
9
ARP SOP No. 7.00 Effective Date: October 1, 2015
appropriate provided the sponsor is made aware of the constraints associated with a
T&M approach.
2.3.2. Step 2: Follow-On Coordination
While the coordination may be verbal at first, the FAA specialist should emphasize use of email
to document discussions with the sponsor and the consultant. File copies of such email
discussions in the grant project file.
2.3.3. Step 3: Initial Approval Action
Once the sponsor provides sufficient information to provide direction to the contractor, the FAA
specialist may grant initial approval of the emergency Change Order. The type of initial approval
will depend on the specific circumstances of the emergency.
1. Conditional Approval. Send an email offering approval with additional work
conditioned on the following:
a. The sponsor can base the extra work item cost on existing contract unit prices.
b. The FAA will establish a not-to-exceed value with the sponsor.
c. The FAA will require the sponsor to submit a formal Change Order with final costs.
2. Provisional Approval. Send an email offering provisional approval:
a. When the extent and effort required of work items are not initially known;
b. Advising the sponsor that given the unknown circumstances of the emergency action,
anticipated costs will be determined eligible,provided they are allowable under AIP
and justified for the project.
3. Permit Use of Time and Material(T&M) Payment Approach. If using this type of
approval:
a. Require the sponsor to negotiate a value for profit to be used in the T&M; this may be
a firmed fixed value or may be incorporated into a burdened hourly rate for the
laborers.
b. Require the sponsor to establish a ceiling price that cannot be exceeded unless at the
contractor's risk.
c. Require the sponsor to provide active oversight of the contractor's performance to
establish the level of effort and efficiency. The sponsor must maintain detailed notes
documenting the contractor's performance.
2.3.4. Step 4: Revert to Standard Change Order Process
2.3.4.1. Once the emergency work is fully defined and the level of effort necessary to carry out
the remaining emergency work is known, the sponsor should consider reverting to a firm fixed
price Change Order if it is practical to do so. If not, the agreements that are informally in place
may continue. However, the sponsor should proceed with establishing a standard Change Order
to cover this work.
2.3.4.2. Once the sponsor submits the standard Change Order, the FAA specialist should review
the Change Order similar to a standard process but starting at Standard Step 3 (paragraph
10
Effective Date: October 1, 2015 ARP SOP No. 7.00
2.2.3). Since the FAA specialist should already be well informed of the Change Order details, the
review of Standard Steps 3-5 (paragraphs 2.2.3-2.2.5)will likely be cursory. The intent of this
second review is to verify that the agreed-upon elements of the initial approval are still valid with
the formal Change Order.
2.3.4.3. The FAA specialist completes the emergency Change Order process by initiating an
approval/partial approval/disapproval letter per Standard Step 4 (paragraph 2.2.4) and archiving
the letter action and supporting documentation per Standard Step 5 (paragraph 2.2.5).

APPENDIX B. CHANGE ORDER CONTENTS
The sponsor Change Order may address individual work items or they may include multiple
work items. When applicable, Change Orders under an AIP-funded construction project should
contain the following basic components and supporting documentation.
Note: FAA Order 5100.38 allows the FAA specialist to request additional documentation as
necessary to determine AIP eligibility.
1. General Change Order Information
2. Airport Name
3. AIP Grant Number
4. Project Description (i.e., Reconstruct Runway 02/20)
5. Contract Identifier: if the AIP grant includes more than one prime contract(i.e., Contract
Number, Contractor Name, or Work Scope Number)
6. Change Order Sequence Number
7. Description of Construction Change Order
8. Justification for the Construction Change Order. The Change Order
a. Should clearly explain and document the circumstances that necessitated a Change
Order. Examples include unforeseen site conditions, work necessary to have a usable
unit at the close out of the grant, and omissions in the plans and specifications that
could not have been foreseen during the project design phase.
b. Must provide sufficient information to allow the FAA specialist to determine if the
Change Order work is the result of an error or omission on the part of the airport
consultant.
c. Must document that the change is needed and directly related to the work identified in
the grant description rather than an afterthought, do-over, "nice to have item," or
maintenance after construction.
d. Must provide enough information to allow the FAA specialist to determine that the
changes are consistent with FAA standards or provide the disposition of any
modifications to standards.
e. Must address the reason for any proposed contract time extensions or modifications
(i.e., document the abnormal conditions or circumstances and how it affected the
original project schedule). This should include a discussion of liquidated damages.
9. Cost Reasonableness
a. The sponsor must perform either a price or cost analysis with every Change Order.
b. The sponsor must prepare an Independent Cost Estimate (ICE)prior to receipt of the
contractor's proposal. Evidence of this must be by signature of preparer and date the
estimate was prepared.
c. The sponsor must provide the FAA a written statement that addresses the type of
analysis they used to establish a fair and equitable price for the extra work.
B-1
ARP SOP No. 7.00 Effective Date: October 1, 2015
d. The statement should typically include a recommendation to accept their analysis as
evidence of cost reasonableness.
e. The FAA specialist has the final determination on whether the costs are reasonable.
10. Consequences of Change Order Attachment
a. The sponsor's attachment should address the consequences of the Change Order,
contract time, and related services.
b. The sponsor's attachment must address itemized cost breakdown of the associated
costs and include the original contract value (FAA federal share) and cumulative
value of contract to-date (with all Change Orders).
c. The attachment must justify, in accordance with AC 150/5370-10, the original
schedule and any proposed changes to schedule (Change in Contract Time).
d. The attachment should indicate any effect on other costs such as engineering,
construction management, or inspection.
11. Conformance to AIP Standards and Regulations

3.02 PREPARATION
A. Surface Cleaning of Joints: Clean out joints immediately before installing joint sealants to
comply with joint sealant manufacturer's written instructions and the following requirements:
1. Remove all foreign material from joint substrates that could interfere with adhesion of
joint sealant, including dust, paints (except for permanent, protective coatings tested and
approved for sealant adhesion and compatibility by sealant manufacturer), old joint
sealants, oil, grease, waterproofing, water repellents, water, surface dirt, and frost.
2. Clean porous joint substrate surfaces by brushing, grinding, blast cleaning, mechanical
abrading, or a combination of these methods to produce a clean, sound substrate
capable of developing optimum bond with joint sealants. Remove loose particles
remaining from above cleaning operations by vacuuming or blowing out joints with oil-free
compressed air. Porous joint surfaces include the following:
a. Concrete.
b. Masonry.
JOINT SEALANTS 07920 -4
C. Stucco.
d. Unglazed surfaces of ceramic tile.
3. Remove laitance and form-release agents from concrete.
4. Clean nonporous surfaces with chemical cleaners or other means that do not stain, harm
substrates, or leave residues capable of interfering with adhesion of joint sealants.
a. Metal.
b. Glass.
C. Porcelain enamel.
d. Glazed surfaces of ceramic tile.
B. Joint Priming: Prime joint substrates where recommended in writing by joint sealant
manufacturer, based on preconstruction joint-sealant-substrate tests or prior experience. Apply
primer to comply with joint sealant manufacturer's written instructions. Confine primers to areas
of joint-sealant bond; do not allow spillage or migration onto adjoining surfaces.
C. Masking Tape: Use masking tape where required to prevent contact of sealant with adjoining
surfaces that otherwise would be permanently stained or damaged by such contact or by
cleaning methods required to remove sealant smears. Remove tape immediately after tooling
without disturbing joint seal.
3.03 INSTALLATION OF JOINT SEALANTS
A. General: Comply with joint sealant manufacturer's written installation instructions for products
and applications indicated, unless more stringent requirements apply.
B. Sealant Installation Standard: Comply with recommendations of ASTM C 1193 for use of joint
sealants as applicable to materials, applications, and conditions indicated.
C. Install sealant backings of type indicated to support sealants during application and at position
required to produce cross-sectional shapes and depths of installed sealants relative to joint
widths that allow optimum sealant movement capability.
1. Do not leave gaps between ends of sealant backings.
2. Do not stretch, twist, puncture, or tear sealant backings.
3. Remove absorbent sealant backings that have become wet before sealant application
and replace them with dry materials.
D. Install bond-breaker tape behind sealants where sealant backings are not used between
sealants and back of joints.
E. Install sealants by proven techniques to comply with the following and at the same time
backings are installed:
1. Place sealants so they directly contact and fully wet joint substrates.
2. Completely fill recesses provided for each joint configuration.
3. Produce uniform, cross-sectional shapes and depths relative to joint widths that allow
optimum sealant movement capability.
3.04 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Field-Adhesion Testing: Field-test joint-sealant adhesion to joint substrates as follows:
1. Test Method: Test joint sealants by hand-pull method described below:
a. Make knife cuts from one side of joint to the other, followed by two cuts
approximately 2 inches long at sides of joint and meeting cross cut at one end.
Place a mark 1 inch from cross-cut end of 2-inch piece.
JOINT SEALANTS 07920 - 5
b. Use fingers to grasp 2-inch piece of sealant between cross-cut end and 1-inch
mark; pull firmly at a 90-degree angle or more in direction of side cuts while
holding a ruler along side of sealant. Pull sealant out of joint to the distance
recommended by sealant manufacturer for testing adhesive capability, but not less
than that equaling specified maximum movement capability in extension; hold this
position for 10 seconds.
C. For joints with dissimilar substrates, check adhesion to each substrate separately.
Do this by extending cut along one side, checking adhesion to opposite side, and
then repeating this procedure for opposite side.
2. Inspect joints for complete fill, for absence of voids, and for joint configuration complying
with specified requirements. Record results in a field adhesion test log.
3. Inspect tested joints and report on the following:
a. Whether sealants in joints connected to pulled-out portion failed to adhere to joint
substrates or tore cohesively. Include data on pull distance used to test each type
of product and joint substrate. Compare these results to determine if adhesion
passes sealant manufacturer's field-adhesion hand-pull test criteria.
b. Whether sealants filled joint cavities and are free from voids.
C. Whether sealant dimensions and configurations comply with specified
requirements.
4. Record test results in a field adhesion test log. Include dates when sealants were
installed, names of persons who installed sealants, test dates, test locations, whether
joints were primed, adhesion results and percent elongations, sealant fill, sealant
configuration, and sealant dimensions.
5. Repair sealants pulled from test area by applying new sealants following same
procedures used to originally seal joints. Ensure that original sealant surfaces are clean
and new sealant contacts original sealant.
B. Evaluation of Field-Test Results: Sealants not evidencing adhesive failure from testing or
noncompliance with other indicated requirements, will be considered satisfactory. Remove
sealants that fail to adhere to joint substrates during testing or to comply with other
requirements. Retest failed applications until test results prove sealants comply with indicated
requirements.
3.05 CLEANING
A. Clean off excess sealants or sealant smears adjacent to joints as the Work progresses by
methods and with cleaning materials approved in writing by manufacturers of joint sealants and
of products in which joints occur.
3.06 PROTECTION
A. Protect joint sealants during and after curing period from contact with contaminating substances
and from damage resulting from construction operations or other causes so sealants are without
deterioration or damage at time of Substantial Completion. If, despite such protection, damage
or deterioration occurs, cut out and remove damaged or deteriorated joint sealants immediately
so installations with repaired areas are indistinguishable from the original work.

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 if moisture
content exceeds that permitted in manufacturer's written instructions.
C. Clean concrete floors to be painted with a 5 percent solution of muriatic acid or
other etching cleaner. Flush the floor with clean water to remove acid, neutralize
with ammonia, rinse, allow to dry, and vacuum before painting.
3. Wood: Clean surfaces of dirt, oil, and other foreign substances with scrapers, mineral
spirits, and sandpaper, as required. Sand surfaces exposed to view smooth and dust off.
a. Scrape and clean small, dry, seasoned knots, and apply a thin coat of white
shellac or other recommended knot sealer before applying primer. After priming,
fill holes and imperfections in finish surfaces with putty or plastic wood filler. Sand
smooth when dried.
b. Prime, stain, or seal wood to be painted immediately on delivery. Prime edges,
ends, faces, undersides, and back sides of wood, including cabinets, counters,
cases, and paneling.

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,
grilles, convector covers, covers for finned-tube radiation, and similar components are in
place. Extend coatings in these areas, as required, to maintain system integrity and
provide desired protection.
5. Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture the same as similar exposed
surfaces. Before final installation of equipment, paint surfaces behind permanently fixed
equipment or furniture with prime coat only.

9. Finish interior of wall and base cabinets and similar field-finished casework to match
exterior.
10. Sand lightly between each succeeding enamel or varnish coat.
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 film thickness required are the same regardless of application
method. Do not apply succeeding coats until previous coat has cured as recommended
by manufacturer. If sanding is required to produce a smooth, even surface according to
manufacturer's written instructions, sand between applications.
2. Omit primer over 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 that 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, and does not deform or feel sticky
under moderate thumb pressure, and until application of another coat of paint does not
cause undercoat to lift or lose adhesion.
C. Application Procedures: Apply paints and coatings according to manufacturer's written
instructions. Do not use spray equipment unless approved by the Program Manager.

thickness of the entire system as recommended by manufacturer.
E. Prime Coats: Before applying finish coats, apply a prime coat, as recommended by
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.
F. 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.
G. Stipple Enamel Finish: Roll and redistribute paint to an even and fine texture. Leave no
evidence of rolling, such as laps, irregularity in texture, skid marks, or other surface
imperfections.
