The Wailuku Police Station is an occupied, twenty-four (24) hour public safety facility. Exterior substrates include previously coated concrete and masonry walls and columns, previously coated exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) wall assemblies, exposed PVC conduit, and previously coated wood exterior screen frames. The existing coating exhibits chalking, mildew, soiling, and localized cracking, sealant failure, stucco delamination, and corrosion of embedded metal accessories. All exterior surfaces of the facility, except those specifically excluded in writing by the County, shall be prepared, repaired, and recoated. It is the intent of this specification that all exterior surfaces be finished for a thoroughly complete job, whether or not each item is specifically listed herein. Quantities, surface areas, and existing conditions shall be verified by the bidder during the site walk-through. Exterior exterior Surface surfaces Preparation scheduled and to receive Cleaning coating shall purcombe pressure cleaned at a minimum of two thousand (2,000) psi using a twenty-five (25) degree tip to remove all loose and scaling paint, chalk, mildew, dirt, grease, surface salts, and any other foreign material detrimental to the adhesion of the new finish. Remaining loose and scaling paint shall be removed by pressure washing or other suitable power tool cleaning, and hard glossy surfaces shall be scuff sanded to ensure proper adhesion. Mildew shall be removed using a dilute sodium hypochlorite solution followed by a thorough rinse with clean water. Grease shall be removed using a commercial degreasing detergent applied per the manufacturer's label directions and thoroughly rinsed with clean water. Chlorides, sulfates, and surface-reacted salts shall be removed from exposed ferrous and non-ferrous metals using a soluble salt remover applied in accordance with the manufacturer's technical data. Surfaces shall be firm, clean , and dry before any material is applied, and masonry moisture content shall be less than fifteen percent (15%). Painting shall be deferred after rain or washing until the surface is dry. Should any surface be found unsuitable to produce a proper coating or sealant finish, the Contractor shall notify the County in writing and no material shall be applied until the unsuitable condition has been made satisfactory. All exterior surfaces not designated to receive coating, including windows, glazing, hardware, light fixtures, walkways, driveways, and paved areas, shall be kept free of coating material , residue, and overspray. Substrate Repair, Patching, Caulking and Sealant Replacement All construction joints and expansion joints, including joints of windows to stucco, stucco-to-stucco changes in direction, metal-to-stucco joints, wall-to-floor joints, and control joints, shall be carefully inspected for sealant deterioration, loss of adhesion, cracking, or loss of properties. Failed sealant shall be cut out with a caulk cutter, taking care not to damage the substrate, and the joint brushed clean of all residuals prior to re-sealing . A closed-cell , non-gassing backer rod or bond breaker tape shall be installed where the void exceeds one-quarter inch (1/4") in width or where otherwise necessary to prevent three (3) sided adhesion. Installation of new sealant over existing sealant is strictly forbidden. Replacement sealant shall be a one-component, low-modulus, non -sag , fastcuring hybrid urethane or an approved equal high-performance elastomeric sealant meeting or exceeding ASTM C-920, Type S, Grade NS, Class 50, Use NT, A, M , O, and shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's technical data, Sealant, Waterproofing and Restoration Institute (SWRI) recommendations, and ASTM C 1521. Sealant joints shall maintain the proper width-to-depth ratio, a minimum width of one-half inch (1/2"), a minimum of onequarter inch (1/4") of intimate contact with the prepared substrate, and a depth not exceeding one-half inch (1/2"). ALL URETHANE SEALANT SHALL CURE A MINIMUM OF TWENTY-FOUR (24) HOURS BEFORE BEING COATED WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCT Hairline and shrinkage cracks one-eighth inch (1/8") and smaller shall be bridged with an elastomeric brush-grade masonry patching compound applied generously over the center of the crack and feathered a minimum of two inches (2") to each side. Cracks from one-eighth inch (1/8") to one-quarter inch (1/4") shall be cleaned of all loose material , filled flush with an elastomeric knife-grade masonry patching compound, and then bridged as described above. Cracks from one-quarter inch (1/4") to one inch (1 ") shall have all loose material and any existing failed sealant or patching product removed, shall be cut clean with a power tool , and shall be clean and dry. Remaining chalk or dust shall be sealed with a masonry surface conditioner. The crack shall be fitted with closedcell, non-gassing backer rod or bond breaker tape to control depth and prevent three (3) sided adhesion, and filled with the specified sealant to just below the plane of the adjacent surface. Sealant shall not be smeared or feathered over the crack. After the sealant has fully cured , the area shall be patched and bridged as described above. All masonry cracks shall be sounded to determine bond to the substrate. Where a hollow sound or disbonding is present, all failed, loose, and delaminated stucco shall be completely removed , the area cleaned and prepared with an appropriate stucco bonding agent or by other mechanical means, and new stucco applied in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations to match the adjacent areas in texture and uniformity. Where rust is present beneath stucco or at corner beads, the stucco shall be removed to the metal surface and the metal cleaned of rust scale and treated with a rust inhibitor per label directions, or the rusted corner bead shall be replaced with new PVC corner bead. The area shall then be restored as described above. New stucco shall cure a minimum of seven (7) days and shall be primed with a concrete and masonry primer rated for application over substrates with a pH of thirteen (13) or below.
