The selected vendor shall be able to provide, apply and warranty any/all crack injection identified in this contract using both materials listed in section 2.1. The leak mitigation areas shall be identified by the SEPTA Project Manager. SUBMITTALS Product Data: Manufacturer's Technical and Safety Data Sheets on the two products to be used and incorporated into the work, including: 1. Preparation instructions and recommendations. 2. Storage and handling requirements and recommendations. 3. Proof of safe environmental behavior. 4. Recommended installation methods and procedures. 5. Site Specific Work Plans as required. PRE-INSTALLATION MEETINGS A pre-installation meeting shall be convened, at each location, a minimum five days prior to starting. During these meetings the area requiring repairs, injection and/or application shall be confirmed. A site visit shall be conducted prior to start of work to confirm work. All contractor employees working on SEPTA property shall be Transit RWP certified. PROJECT CONDITIONS Maintain environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, and ventilation) within limits of construction recommended by the manufacturer for optimum results.
