Specifications include, but are not limited to: Perform SPM at various primary and non-primary airports in SR. Planned maintenance activities include: maintaining pavement markings on runways, taxiways, and aprons at Gustavus, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Wrangell, and Yakutat.; SOLVENT BASED TRAFFIC MARKING PAINT LOW VOC IN WHITE, YELLOW, BLACK, BLUE, AND RED SPECIFICATION: All paint provided under this specification must meet the requirements stated in this appendix and/or meet the requirements of Federal Specification A-A-2886B, Type II, and be formulated with a minimum of 70% Acrylic Copolymer resins. SOLVENT PAINT TESTING PROCEDURES: The following solvent paint testing procedures shall apply to all paint delivered under Specification Number One.; x The contractor shall submit Federal Specification A-A-2886B, Type II tests on solvent paint formulated within the two years preceding the Invitation to Bid (ITB) issuance date.; x The contractor shall also submit the reduced suite of tests, listed below in Table 1, for paint formulated within the 180 days preceding the ITB issuance date.; All costs associated with laboratory testing are the sole responsibility of the supplier awarded the contract, including the cost of Quality Assurance “Fingerprint” testing on two samples of the paint randomly selected from the Alaska order by the Alaska DOT&PF’s Quality Assurance Consultant. Alaska DOT&PF will pay for the consultant, acting as DOT&PF’s Agent, to randomly select two (2) bulk paint containers for sampling, witness the sampling by the paint manufacturer, secure the sample(s) and ensure delivery to a qualified independent paint testing laboratory, for the performance of the following three; (3) selected test procedures: QUALITY ASSURANCE TESTING FOR SOLVENT PAINT: 1. ASTM D562 Consistency (Viscosity); 2. ASTM E1347 (or E1349) Directional Reflectance of white paint with 45:0 or 0:45 Geometry; 3. ASTM D2369 (or D2832) Total Solids, % by Weight; COMPOSITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: A. Pigment Composition: Pigments shall be first quality paint grade pigments. The inert or filler pigments must be of a type and quality generally recognized as first quality paint grade products, and shall not contribute to settling of the paint in storage or be so hard as to cause excessive wear of the spray application equipment.; B. Vehicle or Resinous Binder Composition: The vehicle may be any combination of natural or synthetic resinous materials that are not prohibited per this specification. All resins used must be permanently capable of re-dissolving in the solvent combination used in the paint. Paint and binder combinations shall minimize build-up of the paint on the sides of tanks, paint lines, and clogging of spray equipment from un-dissolvable skins. ; C. Prohibited Materials: The manufacturer must submit documentation certifying the product does not contain mercury, lead, hexavalent chromium, halogenated solvents (such as Methylene Chloride), or any carcinogen, as defined in 29 CFR 1910.1200.; D. Application and Storage: Follow Manufacturer’s recommended equipment, temperatures, humidity and any other limits for safe and proper application, use, as well as storage of these materials and containers.; E. Condition in Container: For a minimum of one year from the date of manufacture, the paint must meet each of the following conditions: (1) Not show excessive settling in a freshly opened full can; (2) Show no curdling, livering, caking, lumps, skins, or color separation; (3) Be easily re-dispersed when mixed with a paddle; (4) Be easily re-dispersed after 5 minutes of mechanical shaking using a standard commercial paint shaker; (5) Water Resistance: Guaranteed water resistant when applied properly.
