Scope of Work
The base bid involves pressure-washing the whole of the exterior surfaces at 3,500 PSI with a non-residual detergent solution using a rotating turbo nozzle for chalk removal. The steel will be spot-cleaned using power-tools (SSPC-SP 3) and/or abrasive-blasting to a commercial finish (SSPC-SP 6.)
The steel will be spot-primed with a polyamide epoxy coating and overcoated with a thermoset fluoropolymer finish.
The contract includes an alternate option at the disposal of the contractors; abrasive blast-cleaning all steel to SSPC-SP 6 (commercial); and recoating it with an organic zinc-rich urethane primer, an aliphatic acrylic polyurethane intermediate, and a thermoset fluoropolymer polyurethane finish.
The project also includes removing existing lighting and conduits attached to the arena’s structural steel compression ring.
Containment will be required during the work period, as will ensuring protection of the roof membrane.
The owner conducted a mandatory pre-bid conference on Feb. 12.
