G. Finish coat application: Application over a partially dry basecoat is preferred. If necessary, wet with an even application of water to semi-dry condition. Scratch in tightly over the basecoat, covering the surface completely, then double back immediately with plaster from the same gauge, filling out with a true even surface with a total thickness of 1/16 to 1/8 inch. Allow finish to firm up, then trowel well to compact. Brush water on surface to provide lubrication. Use edge of trowel to fill surface depressions and other blemishes. Do final water troweling to obtain a polished surface.

B. INSPECTION FEES – EXCESS DILUTION OF PAINTS:

1. All materials shall be used in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions/directions or as otherwise may be required by applicable law, which law shall include, but not be limited to, the standards set forth by the Department of Environmental Conservation in Part 205 of Title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations, entitled “Architectural and Industrial Maintenance Coatings.” Copies of Part 205 are available at the Authority’s Long Island City Office, located at 23-02 49th Avenue, Long Island City, NY 11101.

2. In case any pot samples of paint actually being used by the Contractor are found by the Authority to contain paint thinners (e.g., without limitation, solvents or water) rendering the paint more thin or diluted than as specified by the manufacturer of such paint, by the Authority, or by applicable law (adhering to whichever of the three may be more strict), then the Contractor shall pay to the Authority the cost of all tests performed to assess the quality of the paint and compliance with the Specifications of the Authority and/or the paint manufacturer.

The Contractor must make the paint available for such inspection and sampling at the place of business of the manufacturer of the paint (which must be in the City of New York), or at another location subject to the Authority’s consent, which consent may be withheld by the Authority for any reason or no reason. The Authority will send the samples to an independent laboratory to be tested for conformity with the contract specifications. The Authority will, in most instances, receive the results of the laboratory tests on such samples within three business days from the date on which the samples are taken (the “Laboratory Analysis Report”). If the Material Plan and Control Unit has determined, based upon the results of the Laboratory Analysis Report, that a particular batch or batches meet the Authority’s specifications, the Authority’s Material Plan and Control Unit will notify the paint manufacturer, ordinarily by telephone, that the batch has passed the laboratory tests, and the Authority’s inspector will return to the location where the paint was sampled and will stamp the label of each can of each such batch with the Authority’s stamp of approval, which shall read:

NYCHA INSPECTED APPROVED After each can of paint in a batch has been stamped by the Authority’s inspector, the Contractor may permit the manufacturer to ship and deliver such paint to the Authority.

4. The Contractor must arrange for the paint to be left, undisturbed, at the location where the paint was sampled by the Authority, until either (a) the Authority’s inspector returns to stamp the labels; or (b) the Authority notifies the manufacturer that the paint has failed to meet the Authority’s specifications, based upon the results of the Laboratory Analysis Report.

5. The Contractor or its subcontractor or supplier may not ship or deliver any paint to Authority premises unless such paint comes from a batch that has already received the Authority’s approval, and the cans containing such paint have been duly stamped by the Authority’s inspector. In addition, the Contractor may not allow any paint that the Contractor knows, or has reason to know, will be used on any Authority premises, to be picked up by contractors of the Authority or their subcontractors, unless such paint comes from a batch that has already received the Authority’s approval, and the cans containing such paint have been duly stamped by the Authority’s inspector.

i. Surface Preparation: Remove metal drains and hardware. Remove all caulk. Remove loose paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper using wet methods to avoid dust dispersal. Repair chips and cracks with a patching compound similar to Liquid Steel. Remove any mildew with a solution of bleach and water and rinse thoroughly. Scrub dirty or stained surfaces with an abrasive cleaning agent such as Comet, Ajax or Bab-O. Rinse with fresh water and allow to thoroughly dry. Wipe area clean. Prepare surface with an abrasive pad and Lime-A-Way, rinse and repeat if necessary. Sand entire surface with #400/#600 grit wet/dry sandpaper. Vacuum or rinse away residue. Wipe surface with tack cloth immediately before painting to remove dust.

ii. Use when temperature is between 50-9O°F (10-32°C) and humidity is below 85% to ensure proper drying. Properly ventilate the area by opening windows or using fans. Thoroughly mix Part B to ensure any settled pigment is re-dispersed. Add Pat A to Part B and thoroughly mix for 1 minute. Apply using a good quality foam roller designed to give a smooth finish. Avoid excessive brushing or rolling. Use light, even stokes to ensure an even coat and the smooth finish.

iii. Dry and Recoat Times Based on 70·F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to the touch in 1 hour. Allow to dry at least one hour before applying a second coal. Allow to dry 3 days before exposing to water.
