th eContracting Officer deems it necessary.
**************************************************************************
As soon as the paint [and reflective] [and thermoplastic] materials are
available for sampling, obtain by random selection from the sealed
containers, two quart samples of each batch in the presence of the
Contracting Officer. Accomplish adequate mixing prior to sampling to
ensure a uniform, representative sample. A batch is defined as that
quantity of material processed by the manufacturer at one time and
identified by number on the label. Clearly identify samples by designated
name, specification number, batch number, project contract number, intended
use, and quantity involved. [Test samples by an approved laboratory. If a
sample fails to meet specification, replace the material in the area
represented by the samples and retest the replacement material as specified
above. Submit copy of the test results to the Contracting Officer.
Include in the report of test results a listing of any specification
requirements not verified by the test laboratory.] [At the discretion of
the Contracting Officer, samples provided may be tested by the Government
for verification.]
3.3.2
Inspection
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The material specifications do not provide
for obtaining certified production data, and the
importance of verification testing for each batch
where appreciable quantities are involved is
emphasized. Only when the factors of time, value of
material, and its application versus cost of testing
and end use of the material justify a waiver of
testing will certification be acceptable.
For projects 3500 square meters 4000 square yards in
painted surface area, requirements for Contractor's
testing should be used. For small projects, use
Government test option.
**************************************************************************
Examine material at the job site to determine that it is the material
referenced in the report of test results or certificate of compliance.
A
certificate of compliance shall be accompanied by test results
substantiating conformance to the specified requirements.
3.3.2.1
Surface Preparations and Application Procedures
Surface preparations and application procedures will be examined by the
Contracting Officer to determine conformance with the requirements
specified. Approve each separate operation prior to initiation of
subsequent operations.
3.4
TRAFFIC CONTROL AND PROTECTION
Place warning signs near the beginning of the work site and well ahead of
the work site for alerting approaching traffic from both directions. Place
small markers along newly painted lines to control traffic and prevent
damage to newly painted surfaces. Mark painting equipment with large
warning signs indicating slow-moving painting equipment in operation. Do
not use foil-backed material for temporary pavement marking because of its
potential to conduct electricity during accidents involving downed power
