1. CONTRACTOR shall provide the following curb numbering services in the areas as designated in Exhibit “F” and to the satisfaction of the City Manager or his designee (“City Manager” herein): A. The paint to be used for the field shall be white, luminous, and have directional reflectivity not less than 80% relative to magnesium oxide. The paint shall show inherent capability for retention of glass spheres, and shall be suitable for application to Portland Cement Concrete without bleeding or other discoloration. The paint shall dry with a tough, flexible, adherent film that will not crack, chip, peel, discolor or excessively fade with exposure. The Contractor shall use rapid or fast dry paint that conforms to the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction. Colors shall be white for the background and black for the numbers. All existing house numbers (including existing background) shall be completely covered by the new paint application. B. All painting shall be performed in a workmanlike manner by competent and experienced equipment operators and painters using the proper equipment, tools, stencils, templates and shields. A white field with black letters shall be painted on the curb in front of each residence as shown in Exhibit “G.” The field and numeral borders shall be sharply defined with no running or blurring of edges. The field shall be white, 5½” to 6” in height, and 16” to 18” in width. The white field shall be reflectionized by clear glass spherical beads, applied with force against the field paint while it is still tacky; and, the beads must be firmly bonded to the paint upon drying. The beads must be applied with force against the white field while it is still tacky. This means Bauers 42A9 beads must be applied at the same time as the paint or within ten (10) seconds, depending on weather conditions. Beads must be firmly bonded to the paint upon drying. The numbers shall be black and 4” in height. All numbers will be centered in the field. The numbers must be saturated 70% to 90% with glass spherical, reflectionized number 3 beads. All materials, equipment and workmanship shall be subject to the approval of the City Manager or his designated representative. House numbers found to be unacceptable for any reason shall be removed and replaced at no cost to the City. All corrections shall be accomplished within ten (10) days following notification of the discrepancy.
