RE:Additional Sample Results for Limited Asbestos Survey PLM bulk Sampling for Suspect
Asbestos Containing Materials observed at the Vail Ticket Arena Restrooms, wall and ceiling
areas and Arena Basement Structure Beam Fire Proofing in Vail Colorado for planned
construction area.
Executive Summary
A limited, client delineated survey was conducted in the Main Level restrooms wall and ceiling
materials which included Drywall Tape and Mud, and filled CMU block respectively. In
addition, a small potential patch area of restroom exterior wall was also sampled. The Main
building basement structural beam fireproofing was sampled to facilitate a small planned
addition of mechanical system material. No asbestos was detected in any of the sampled
materials, please find Lab data attached to final report.
Field Work
On October 18, 2012, the limited, client area delineated, asbestos survey was be
completed by an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) accredited AHERA and Colorado
State certified asbestos building inspector. The inspector performed the physical assessment of
suspect materials, plan and organize the building inspection; identified and mapped
homogeneous areas and functional spaces; assessed the condition and potential for future damage
to friable materials, if any, and the location of non-friable materials.
2
In general and in most cases, a minimum of three samples were be collected from each readily
visible and accessible homogeneous area, in accordance with EPA National Emissions Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) and the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration’s (OSHA) regulation 29 CFR 1926.1101.
Sampling techniques generally followed the 3-5-7 rule under AHERA, specifying the collection
of:
•3 samples of surfacing materials less than 3,000 square feet in size.
•5 samples of surfacing materials between 1,000 and 5,000 square feet in size; and
•7 samples of surfacing materials greater than 5,000 square feet in size.
Additional samples may still need to be collected during demolition or remodeling, if hidden
areas are revealed and materials are encountered that was not sampled earlier.
The samples were submitted to Reservoirs Environmental, Inc., under proper chain-of-custody
procedures, for analysis of asbestos content on a Rush same Day standard turn-around. Reservoir
Environmental is an American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) accredited laboratory and
participates in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP).
A minimum of three samples of a material is needed to categorize that material as non-asbestos-
containing.
Conclusions
A limited, client delineated survey was conducted in the Main Level restrooms wall and ceiling
materials which included Drywall Tape and Mud, and filled CMU block respectively. In
addition, a small potential patch area of restroom exterior wall was also sampled. The Main
building basement structural beam fireproofing was sampled to facilitate a small planned
addition of mechanical system material. No asbestos was detected in any of the sampled
materials.
This survey was limited to the specified suspect asbestos materials only, in specific locations.
Prior to disturbance of any other identified suspected asbestos containing materials, they must be
Assumed asbestos containing or sampled and proven otherwise. Under current EPA, Colorado
Regulation 8 and OSHA provisions abatement and repair of any Assumed or unsampled
materials is limited to those adequately trained and certified to handle such asbestos materials.
Additional specific awareness training may be required for custodial and vendor sub-contractors
in activities that may impact the identified or assumed materials condition or repair. These
3
activities should be managed and tracked as part of an Asbestos Operations and Maintenance
plan per EPA AHERA and Colorado Regulation Number 8 part B prior to demolition.

shown on drawings. Use only suitable materials in construction of embankments and
backfills. 6. Borrow: Backfill or embankment material which must be acquired from designated
borrow areas to make up deficiencies which cannot be completed from excavation
within work limits. Borrow material must be agreed to by Engineer. 7. Proof Rolling: Applying test loads over subgrade surface by means of heavy
pneumatic-tired roller of specified design, to locate weak areas in subgrade.
1.2 PERMITS A. Stormwater Discharge Permit (CDPHE) B. Construction Dewatering (CDPHE)
PART 2 PRODUCTS 2.1 FILL AND EMBANKMENT MATERIAL Any suitable material or borrow as defined above. Free-running water shall be drained from materials
before placement.
2.2 CONSTRUCTION WATER Acceptable water shall be provided at Contractor's expense.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXCAVATION Unclassified Excavation: All excess or unsuitable excavated materials, including rock and boulders, that
cannot be used in backfill and embankments, shall be placed in designated disposal areas or disposed of
off site. Where shown on drawings or considered necessary, construct intercepting ditches above top of
cut slopes and carry to outlets near ends of cuts. To blend intersection of cut slopes with slope of
adjacent natural ground surfaces in uniform manner, shape tops of all cut slopes, except those in solid
rock, for flattening and rounding in accordance with details shown on drawings. Treat earth overburden
above solid rock cuts in same manner as earth cut. Engineer reserves the right to change cut slopes
during progress of excavation. Scale all exposed rippable rock cuts of loose, potentially falling rock at
Contractor's expense.
3.2 PROOF ROLLING Proof rolling will be required to determine whether certain areas of subgrade meet compaction and/or
stable requirements. Proof roll designated areas with heavy rubber-tired roller approved by Engineer.
Areas found to be weak or fail the test shall be repaired in accordance with recommendations by the
Engineer.
Earthwork 02300-2
GERALD R FORD AMPHITHEATER PHASE 2 NOVEMBER 6, 2013
3.3 SUBGRADE PREPARATION Adjust completed subgrade from slope or grade stakes to assure surface width conforms to typical
section, dimensions, lines, and grades on drawings. Compact subgrade in accordance with compaction
requirements.
3.4 EMBANKMENT AND FILL CONSTRUCTION A. Place earth fill materials for backfill or embankment in thin horizontal layers near optimum
moisture content and compact as specified before next layer is placed. Use effective spreading
equipment on each lift to obtain uniform thickness prior to compacting. As compaction of each
layer progresses, continuously level and manipulate to assure uniform density. Add or remove
water as necessary to obtain maximum density. Place embankment in layers not greater than 12"
which have been demonstrated to meet compaction standards. Occasional cobble and boulder-
sized pieces of excavated rocks with sizes from 6" to 12”, may be placed in earth fill if agreed to
by Engineer. Space large rocks so compaction of earth fill will meet compaction requirements.
B. When embankment is to be placed and compacted on hillsides, or when new embankment is to
be compacted against existing embankments, or when embankment is built one-half width at a
time, slopes which are steeper than 4:1 measured longitudinally or at right angles to roadway
shall be continuously benched over as work is brought up in layers. Benching shall be well
keyed into existing slopes a minimum of 8' wide. Begin each horizontal bench at intersection of
original ground and sides of previous benches. Material benched shall be excavated and
recompacted along with new embankment material at Contractor's expense.
C. Rock fill embankment material consists predominantly of rock 6" to 12” in diameter placed in
loose lifts up to average rock dimension. Placing of occasional boulders of sizes larger than
maximum layer thickness may be agreed to by Engineer provided material is carefully placed,
large stones well distributed, and voids completely filled with smaller stones, earth, sand, or
gravel. Level and smooth each layer with suitable equipment, distributing soils and finer
fragments of earth. Wet each loose layer as necessary to facilitate compaction prior to placing
additional lifts. Embankments consisting predominantly of rock larger than 6" in greatest
dimension, shall not be constructed above an elevation 2' below finished subgrade. Balance of
embankment shall be composed of suitable material smoothed and placed in layers not
exceeding 8" in loose thickness and compacted as specified. D. Remove all sod and vegetable matter from surface upon which embankment is to be placed.
Completely break up cleared surface by plowing, scarifying, or stepping a minimum of 8” to
insure a bond between embankment and original ground. Recompact to specifications.
E. Frozen materials shall not be used in construction of embankments. F. During construction maintain area in such condition that it will be well-drained at all times. G. At the end of every construction day all fill areas must be flat rolled to provide proper drainage.

GERALD R FORD AMPHITHEATER PHASE 2 NOVEMBER 6, 2013
3.5 BORROW Provide test pit if required by Engineer to evaluate acceptability and limits of source at Contractor's
expense. If more borrow is placed than required, amount of overrun will be deducted from borrow volume.
Contractor shall notify Engineer at least 10 working days in advance of need before opening borrow area. Strip all borrow pits of sod, topsoil, and unsuitable materials. Restore borrow area, grade and shape to
provide proper drainage before placement of topsoil, to the satisfaction of the Engineer. 3.6 DISPOSAL OF MATERIALS
Remove and dispose of all waste material off site. 3.7 COMPACTION REQUIREMENTS
A. Thoroughly scarify surface upon which embankment is to be placed to depth of 8".
B. Compact scarified materials and embankments to following % AASHTO T99. Moisture content
shall be within 2% of optimum. 1. Landscaped area 90%
2. Roadway 95%
3. Driveways 95%
4. Parking lots 95%
5. Public roadways 95%
6. Beneath structures 100%
C. Where Engineer agrees to rock fill material embankments constructed without moisture and
density control, place in loose lifts up to maximum rock dimension not exceeding 12”. Apply
water as necessary to facilitate compaction. Route construction equipment, compactors, or both,
uniformly over each lift prior to placing additional lifts. Apply sufficient compactive effort to
each lift to achieve uniform, well-compacted rock fill. Distribute rocks throughout layer, spaced
far enough apart to allow compaction equipment to pass between and permit cross rolling.
Place, move and compact embankment materials, and apply water to facilitate compaction and
prevent voids in embankment. Number of passes required will depend on available compaction
equipment to achieve compactive effort agreed to by Engineer.
3.8 DUST CONTROL Contractor shall take appropriate measures to minimize adverse impacts caused by dust by watering
exposed surfaces and haul roads and by implementing other measures. END OF SECTION 02300 EARTHWORK

2.6 BEDDING Two types of bedding material are allowed: Screened rock and soil or select imported material,
meeting the following gradation specification table:
Sieve Size Total Percent Passing by Weight
Screened Rock Soil or Select Import
1 ½ inch maximum, and
maximum of 10% of
pipe diameter to ½ inch
100 100
No. 4 0 to 10 30 to 100
No. 200 0 to 5 0 to 50
Minimum Compaction
Requirement
Tamp to spring line to
fill voids below pipe
haunches
90% of Standard Proctor placed
at +/- 3% of Optimum Moisture
The maximum particle size of pipe bedding should generally not exceed 1½ inches or 10 percent of
the nominal pipe diameter, whichever is less. Bedding for small pipe such as service lines should
generally have a maximum particle size not exceeding ¾ inch. Bedding materials shall be free of
topsoil, organic material, frozen matter, debris, or other deleterious material.
Screened rock used for waterline or sewer pipe bedding should be crushed, angular material that
meets the requirements of ASTM D 2321, Class IA bedding material. The material should have not
more than 10 percent passing the No. 4 (4.75 millimeter) screen, and less than 5 percent passing the
No. 200 (75 micrometer) screen. The bedding should be tamped under the haunches of the pipe to
spring line. Where future excavation is anticipated, the sloughing properties of screened rock when
unconfined should be taken into consideration. The District may require soil or select import. Where
groundwater may be present, the use of screened rock for bedding is prohibited. Compacted pipe bedding should meet the requirements of ASTM D 2321, Class IB, Class II, or
Class III bedding material. The material should have a minimum of 30 percent passing the No. 4
screen and less than 50 percent passing the No. 200 screen. Class 6 aggregate base course per CDOT
Table 703.2 conforms to this gradation criteria. The bedding should be compacted to a minimum of
90 percent at +/- 3 percent of optimum moisture content, referencing Standard Proctor (ASTM
D698, AASHTO T99). Material containing 10 to 30 percent passing the No. 4 screen can be used
with the following considerations: materials in this range can be expected to possess properties
similar to screened rock except that compaction will be required and materials in this range may be
too free-draining to be testable for compaction by ASTM D698.
Flow-fill, a ½ sack (50 pounds) per cubic yard lean concrete mix as defined in the CDOT 1999
Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Section 206.02, may be used as bedding
where a combination of ease of placement, low permeability, and unconfined stability is desired.

2.3 BEDDING Two types of bedding material are allowed: Screened rock and soil or select imported material,
meeting the following gradation specification table:
Sieve Size Total Percent Passing by Weight
Screened Rock Soil or Select Import
1 ½ inch maximum, and
maximum of 10% of
pipe diameter to ½ inch
100 100
No. 4 0 to 10 30 to 100
No. 200 0 to 5 0 to 50
Minimum Compaction
Requirement
Tamp to spring line to
fill voids below pipe
haunches
90% of Standard Proctor placed
at +/- 3% of Optimum Moisture
The maximum particle size of pipe bedding should generally not exceed 1½ inches or 10 percent of
the nominal pipe diameter, whichever is less. Bedding for small pipe such as service lines should
generally have a maximum particle size not exceeding ¾ inch. Bedding materials shall be free of
topsoil, organic material, frozen matter, debris, or other deleterious material.
Screened rock used for waterline or sewer pipe bedding should be crushed, angular material that
meets the requirements of ASTM D 2321, Class IA bedding material. The material should have not
more than 10 percent passing the No. 4 (4.75 millimeter) screen, and less than 5 percent passing the
No. 200 (75 micrometer) screen. The bedding should be tamped under the haunches of the pipe to
spring line. Where future excavation is anticipated, the sloughing properties of screened rock when
unconfined should be taken into consideration and the use of screened rock is prohibited in these
applications. See sewer pipe bedding detail (S-10). Compacted pipe bedding should meet the requirements of ASTM D 2321, Class IB, Class II, or
Class III bedding material. The material should have a minimum of 30 percent passing the No. 4
screen and less than 50 percent passing the No. 200 screen. Class 6 aggregate base course per CDOT
Table 703.2 conforms to this gradation criteria. The bedding should be compacted to a minimum of
90 percent at +/- 3 percent of optimum moisture content, referencing Standard Proctor (ASTM
D698, AASHTO T99). Material containing 10 to 30 percent passing the No. 4 screen can be used
with the following considerations: materials in this range can be expected to possess properties
similar to screened rock except that compaction will be required and materials in this range may be
too free-draining to be testable for compaction by ASTM D698.
Flow-fill, a ½ sack (50 pounds) per cubic yard lean concrete mix as defined in the CDOT 1999
Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Section 206.02, may be used as bedding
where a combination of ease of placement, low permeability, and unconfined stability is desired.

consolidate with suitable tools to avoid formations of voids, honeycomb, or pockets. Well
vibrated and tamped against forms.
B. Retempering: Do not retemper concrete or mortar which has partially hardened by remixing
with or without additional cement, aggregate or water. Provide concrete in such quantity as is
required for immediate use.
C. Curing: Protect against loss of moisture, rapid temperature change, rain, and flowing water, for
not less than two days from placement of concrete. Immediately after finishing, cover concrete
surface with curing medium which is applicable to local conditions as approved by Engineer.
Protect exposed edge of concrete slabs exposed by removing forms immediately to provide these
surfaces with continuous curing treatment.
3.11 BACKFILL
A. One Foot Over Pipe: Use bedding material for cover material and backfill by approved
mechanical methods. Cover material shall be clean soil, free from organic materials, chunks of
soil, frozen material, debris, or other unsuitable materials. Place and compact starting at top of
pipe bedding extending upwards to 1’ above top of pipe for entire trench width. Place in lifts to
a density of 90% AASHTO T99.
B. Remainder of Trench: Backfill with same materials excavated from work limits unless
unsuitable. No rocks over 6" in diameter in top 12" of trench. No backfill material with rocks

requirements, or minimum thickness in these specifications. Compact aggregate base course to 95%
AASHTO T180. Replace pavement in accordance with permit requirements or minimum thickness in
these specifications. Compact asphalt to 95% ASTM D1559; consolidate concrete with vibrators.
3.14 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Notify Engineer at least 24 hours in advance of pipe being laid in any trench. Cover no pipes
until observed by Engineer. Notify Engineer at least 48 hours before pipe is to be tested.
B. Testing
1. General: Conduct infiltration or exfiltration test for each section between manholes.
Test first section of pipe laid to verify if watertight. Testing may be required during
course of work where infiltration appears to be grater than maximum allowable, or
quality of work is questionable. No sewer line will be accepted where water tightness
tests show leakage exceeding 200 gallons per inch diameter per mile per day. Flush
and clean sewer line prior to testing, wetting pipe, and cleaning out debris. Plug all
pipe outlets to resist test pressure.
2. Infiltration Test: In high ground water table installation only. Plug upper manhole to
determine leakage in section of line between consecutive manholes. Record quantity of
water collected in time period to calculate infiltration rate.
3. Exfiltration Test by Air: Test each section of pipe between consecutive manholes to
determine test duration for section by computation from Air Test Tables. Pressure-
holding time is based on an average holding pressure of 3 psi gauge or a drop from 3.5
Sanitary Sewer System 02530-9
GERALD R FORD AMPHITHEATER PHASE 2 NOVEMBER 6, 2013
psi to 2.5 psi gauge. Add air until internal air pressure of sewer line is raised to
approximately 4.0 psi gauge. After internal pressure of approximately 4.0 psi is
obtained, allow time for air pressure to stabilize. Pressure will normally show some
drop until temperature of air in test section stabilizes. When pressure has stabilized
and is at or above starting test pressure of 3.5 psi gauge, commence test. Before
starting test, pressure may be allowed to drop to 3.5 psi. Record drop in pressure for
test period. If pressure has dropped more than 1.0 psi gauge during test line has failed.
Test may be discontinued when prescribed test time has been completed even though
1.0 psi drop has not occurred. ASTM C828 "Low Pressure Air Test for Sanitary

PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 PREPARATION OF SURFACES
A. Base Course: Blade, shape, and smooth aggregate base course to uniform section in
accordance with the technical specification for Unbound Base Course Section 02720. Remove loose materials. Clean the surface to be paved by mechanical sweepers, blowers, or
hand brooms, until surface is free from dust. Hot mixed asphalt shall be placed only on
property prepared unfrozen surfaces which are free of water, snow, and ice.
B. Existing Surfaces: Clean of all foreign materials. Fill holes and low places with levelling
courses and compact prior to surface placement. Tack coat existing surfacing at 0.1 gallon per
square yard. Apply only to areas on which surfacing is to be placed immediately. Do not extend more than 2000' ahead of paving equipment. Prevent traffic from travelling on tack
coat. 3.2 FRAME ADJUSTMENTS
Set frames of structures to final grade. Place compacted asphaltic concrete to top of frame. If permanent covers are not in place, provide temporary covers over openings until compaction is
complete. Where frames and covers are paved over, mark so crews can find on emergency basis until
cut out and adjusted to final surfacing.
3.3 SPREADING AND FINISHING A. Place at temperatures of not less than 275 degrees F, or more than 305 degrees F. If temperature is below 50 degrees F and falling, asphaltic concrete mix shall not be less than
300 degrees F, while on trucks just prior to laydown. Mechanical, self-powered pavers shall
be capable of spreading mix within specified tolerances, true to line, grade, and crown as
indicated on drawings. Road grader equipped with automatic blade control may be used for levelling courses. Pavers shall be equipped with hoppers and distribution screws which place mix evenly in front of adjustable screeds. Screed shall be adjustable for height and crown,
equipped with controlled heating device for use as required. Screed shall strike off mix
without tearing, shaving or gouging surface, to depth and cross-section specified, without aid
of manual adjustment during operation. Paver shall be capable of placing courses in
thicknesses from 1/2" to 4" and from widths of 8' to 15'. Extensions and cut-off shall permit changes in widths by increments of 6". B. Strike finish surface smooth; true to cross section; uniform in density and texture; free from
hollows, transverse corrugations, and other irregularities. Paint contact surfaces between
gutters, manhole rings, catch basins, and other similar structures with thin, uniform coating of
tack coat. Final surface shall be 1/4" above all structures and gutters sloping away from paving, flush with gutters sloping towards paving. C. Hand Placement: Where certain areas because of irregularity, inaccessibility, or unavoidable
obstacles, do not lend themselves to machine placement, Engineer may agree to hand
placement. Spread and compact to same finish and compaction tolerances of these
specifications.
Flexible Pavement 02740-4
GERALD R FORD AMPHITHEATER PHASE 2 NOVEMBER 6, 2013
D. Joints: Make joints between old and new pavement, or between successive day's work, to insure thorough bond between old and new surfaces. Clean surfaces free of sand, dirt, dust, or
other materials, and apply tack coat. Construction joints must have same texture, density, and
smoothness tolerances as other surfacing.
1. Construct transverse joints to existing material by cutting material back to expose full
depth edge. Paint thin uniform tack coat on joint and place new asphaltic concrete. 2. In every pavement layer the longitudinal joints shall not be constructed in the wheel paths. Prepare longitudinal joints by overlapping screed 1" on existing surface.
Deposit sufficient material to complete joint. Push excess by hand rake 1/2" on new
mat leaving vertical uncompacted face approximately 1" high. Compact against joint
by rolling equipment. No depression allowed exceeding 1/8" for width of 6", after
final compaction. E. Finish Tolerance: Place levelling courses within 1/2" of design grade. Finished surfaces will be tested with 10' straight edge, parallel to center line at location of wheel paths for each lane.
Straight edge will be advanced 5' and space under straight edge shall not exceed 1/4". Correct
areas deficient in smoothness by completely removing surface material and replacing.
Overlay corrections may be made only if approved by Owner. F. Thickness Tolerance: Compacted thickness shall be no less than that shown on drawings.
Any surfacing which does not meet minimum thickness shall be removed and replaced. G. Segregated areas in the top lift shall be removed and replaced, full lane width, at the Contractor’s expense. 3.4 COMPACTION
A. General: Provide rollers to obtain required density, surface texture, and rideability. Begin
rolling operations immediately following placement of asphaltic concrete. Do not permit heavy equipment, rollers, etc. to stand on finished surface where deformation may occur. End each pass of roller in different place. B. Rollers 1. Steel-wheel rollers self-propelled, developing contact pressure under compression
wheels of 250 to 350 psi per inch of width of roller wheel. Rollers equipped with
adjustable scrapers and means for keeping wheel wet to prevent mix from sticking. 2. Pneumatic-tired rollers self-propelled, developing contact pressure under each tire of 85 to 110 psi. Wheels so spaced that one pass will accomplish one complete coverage equal to rolling width of machine. Wheels oscillate but not wobble.
Remove and replace immediately any tires picking up fines. C. Compaction Procedures
1. Compact longitudinal joints and edges first, starting at outside edge and gradually
progress towards center of pavement. Begin superelevated curves rolling on low side
on previously transversely compacted material. Successive passes should overlap by
Flexible Pavement 02740-5
GERALD R FORD AMPHITHEATER PHASE 2 NOVEMBER 6, 2013
one half width of roller. Mat temperature must not be below 185 degrees F. 2. Immediately follow rolling of longitudinal joint and edges with breakdown rolling.
Place drive wheel nearest paver and pull roller towards paver. Return roller to
existing surface and make gradual shift to overlap previous pass by half roller width.
Operate pneumatic-tired rollers as close to paver as necessary to obtain density
required. Make enough passes for reasonably smooth surface. 3. Final rolling by a combination of steel and pneumatic rollers to obtain density, surface texture, and surface tolerances required. D. Pavement shall be compacted to a density of 92% to 96% of the maximum theoretical density,
determined according to Colorado Procedure 51. Field density determinations will be made in
accordance with Colorado Procedure 44 or 81.
3.5 PATCHING Cut out and fill with fresh, hot asphaltic concrete. Remove deficient areas for full depth of surface and
base course. Cut sides perpendicular and parallel, and perpendicular to direction of traffic to extent of
failure. Apply tack coat to exposed surfaces before placing new pavement. Compact and finish to
specification. 3.6 CLEAN UP
After completing operations, clean surfaces, pick up excess paving materials, and clean work area.

W = 0.315(eo – ea)(0.253 + 0.060V) [SI units] W = 0.44(eo – ea)(0.253 + 0.096V) [U.S. Customary units]
where W = mass of water evaporated in kg (lb) per m2 (ft2) of water-covered surface per hour;
eo = saturation water vapor pressure in kPa (psi) in the air immediately over the evaporating surface, at the temperature of the evaporating surface. Obtain this value from Table 3.1(a) or (b). The temperature of the evaporating surface shall be taken as the concrete temperature; ea = water vapor pressure in kPa (psi) in the air surrounding the concrete. Multiply the saturation vapor pressure at the temperature of the air surrounding the concrete by the relative humidity of the air. Air
temperature and relative humidity are to be measured at a level approximately 1.2 to 1.8 m (4 to 6 ft) above the evaporating surface on the windward side and shielded from the sun’s rays; and
V = average wind speed in km/h (mph), measured at 0.5 m (20 in.) above the evaporating surface. 3.1.3.1 Monitor site conditions (air temperature, humidity, wind speed) to assess the need for evaporation control measures beginning no later than 1 hour before the start of concrete placing operations. Continue
to monitor site conditions at intervals of 30 minutes or less until specified curing procedures have been applied.
3.1.3.2 For measuring the rate of evaporation of surface moisture, use equipment or instruments that are certified by the manufacturer as accurate to within 1 °C (2 °F), 5% relative humidity, and 1.6 km/h (1
mph) wind speed. Use equipment in accordance with the product manufacturer recommendations.

GERALD R FORD AMPHITHEATER PHASE 2 NOVEMBER 6, 2013
EXTERIOR PAINTING 099113 - 4
1. After completing painting operations, use workers skilled in the trades involved to reinstall items that were removed. Remove surface-applied protection.
C. Clean substrates of substances that could impair bond of paints, including dust, dirt, oil, grease,
and incompatible paints and encapsulants.
1. Remove incompatible primers and reprime substrate with compatible primers or apply tie
coat as required to produce paint systems indicated.
D. Steel Substrates: Remove rust, loose mill scale, and shop primer if any. Clean using methods recommended in writing by paint manufacturer, but not less than the following:
1. SSPC-SP 11, "Power Tool Cleaning to Bare Metal."
E. Shop-Primed Steel Substrates: Clean field welds, bolted connections, and abraded areas of shop
paint, and paint exposed areas with the same material as used for shop priming to comply with
SSPC-PA 1 for touching up shop-primed surfaces.
F. Galvanized-Metal Substrates: Remove grease and oil residue from galvanized sheet metal by
mechanical methods to produce clean, lightly etched surfaces that promote adhesion of
subsequently applied paints.
G. Aluminum Substrates: Remove loose surface oxidation.
H. Previously Coated Surfaces: Maintenance painting will frequently not permit or require complete
removal of all old coatings prior to repainting. However, all surface contamination such as oil, grease, loose paint, mill scale, dirt, foreign matter, rust, mold, mildew, mortar, efflorescence, and
sealers must be removed to assure sound bonding to the tightly adhering old paint. Glossy
surfaces of old paint films must be clean and dull before repainting. Thorough washing with an abrasive cleanser will clean and dull in one operation, or, wash thoroughly and dull by sanding.
Spot prime any bare areas with an appropriate primer. Recognize that any surface preparation
short of total removal of the old coating may compromise the service length of the system. Check for compatibility by applying a test patch of the recommended coating system, covering at least 2
to 3 square feet. Allow to dry one week before testing adhesion per ASTM D3359. If the coating system is incompatible, complete removal is required.
A. Stucco: Must be clean and free of any loose stucco. If recommended procedures for applying
stucco are followed, and normal drying conditions prevail, the surface may be painted in 30 days. The pH of the surface should be between 6 and 9, unless the products to be used are designed to
be used in high pH environments.
3.3 APPLICATION
A. Apply paints according to manufacturer's written instructions and recommendations in "MPI
Manual."
1. Use applicators and techniques suited for paint and substrate indicated. 2. Paint surfaces behind movable items same as similar exposed surfaces. Before final
installation, paint surfaces behind permanently fixed items with prime coat only.

3.03 INSTALLATION
A. Spread bedding sand evenly over the base course and screed to a nominal 1 in. (25 mm) thickness. Spread bedding sand evenly over the base course and screed rails, using the rails and/or edge re-
straints to produce a nominal 1 in. (25 mm) thickness, allowing for specified variation in the base surface.
1. Do not disturb screeded sand. 2. Screeded area shall not substantially exceed that which is covered by pavers in one day.
3. Do not use bedding sand to fill depressions in the base surface. B. Lay pavers in pattern(s) shown on drawings. Place units hand tight without using hammers. Make
horizontal adjustments to placement of laid pavers with rubber hammers as required. C. Provide joints between pavers between [1/16 in. and 3/16 in. (2 and 5 mm)] wide. No more than
5% of the joints shall exceed [1/4 in. (6 mm)] wide to achieve straight bond lines. D. Joint (bond) lines shall not deviate more than ±1/2 in. (±15 mm) over 50 ft. (15 m) from string
lines. E. Fill gaps at the edges of the paved area with cut pavers or edge units.
F. Cut pavers to be placed along the edge with a masonry saw. G. Adjust bond pattern at pavement edges such that cutting of edge pavers is minimized. All cut pav-
ers exposed to vehicular tires shall be no smaller than one-third of a whole paver. Cut pavers at edges as indicated on the drawings.

3. Spread planting soil to a depth of 6 inches but not less than required to meet finish grades after light rolling and natural settlement. Do not spread if planting soil or subgrade is
frozen, muddy, or excessively wet.
a. Reduce elevation of planting soil to allow for soil thickness of sod.
B. Unchanged Subgrades: If turf is to be planted in areas unaltered or undisturbed by excavating,
grading, or surface-soil stripping operations, prepare surface soil as follows:
1. Remove existing grass, vegetation, and turf. Do not mix into surface soil. 2. Loosen surface soil to a depth of at least 6 inches. Apply soil amendments and fertilizers
according to planting soil mix proportions and mix thoroughly into top 6 inches of soil.
Till soil to a homogeneous mixture of fine texture. 3. Legally dispose of waste material, including grass, vegetation, and turf, off Owner's
property.
C. Finish Grading: Grade planting areas to a smooth, uniform surface plane with loose, uniformly fine texture. Grade to within plus or minus 1/2 inch of finish elevation. Roll and rake, remove
ridges, and fill depressions to meet finish grades. Limit finish grading to areas that can be
planted in the immediate future.
D. Moisten prepared area before planting if soil is dry. Water thoroughly and allow surface to dry
before planting. Do not create muddy soil.
E. Before planting, obtain Landscape Architect's acceptance of finish grading; restore planting
areas if eroded or otherwise disturbed after finish grading.
3.2 SEEDING
A. Do not broadcast or drop seed when wind velocity exceeds 5 mph. Evenly distribute seed by
sowing equal quantities in two directions at right angles to each other. Do not seed against

around roots by hand. Puddle with water until backfill layers are completely saturated. Plumb before backfilling, and maintain plumb while working backfill around roots and
placing layers above roots.
3. Place planting tablets in each planting pit when pit is approximately one-half filled; in amounts recommended in soil reports from soil-testing laboratory. Place tablets beside
soil-covered roots about 1 inch from root tips; do not place tablets in bottom of the hole
or touching the roots. 4. Continue backfilling process. Water again after placing and tamping final layer of soil.
E. When planting on slopes, set the plant so the root flare on the uphill side is flush with the
surrounding soil on the slope; the edge of the root ball on the downhill side will be above the surrounding soil. Apply enough soil to cover the downhill side of the root ball.
3.4 TREE, SHRUB, AND VINE PRUNING
A. Remove only dead, dying, or broken branches. Do not prune for shape.
B. Prune, thin, and shape trees, shrubs, and vines according to standard professional horticultural
and arboricultural practices. Unless otherwise indicated by Architect, do not cut tree leaders;
remove only injured, dying, or dead branches from trees and shrubs; and prune to retain natural character.
3.5 GROUND COVER AND PLANT PLANTING
A. Set out and space ground cover and plants other than trees, shrubs, and vines per spacing on
planting plan.
B. Use planting soil specified in 2.4 for backfill.
C. Dig holes large enough to allow spreading of roots.
D. Work soil around roots to eliminate air pockets and leave a slight saucer indentation around
plants to hold water.
E. Water thoroughly after planting, taking care not to cover plant crowns with wet soil.
F. Protect plants from hot sun and wind; remove protection if plants show evidence of recovery
from transplanting shock.

Completely cover area to be mulched, overlapping edges a minimum of 12 inches and secure
seams with galvanized pins.
B. Mulch backfilled surfaces of planting areas and other areas indicated.
1. Trees and Tree-like Shrubs in Turf Areas: Apply organic mulch ring of 4 inch average thickness, with 24 inch radius around trunks or stems. Do not place mulch within 3 inches of trunks or stems.
3.7 PLANT MAINTENANCE
A. Maintain plantings by pruning, cultivating, watering, weeding, fertilizing, mulching, restoring
planting saucers, resetting to proper grades or vertical position, and performing other operations
as required to establish healthy, viable plantings. Spray or treat as required to keep trees and shrubs free of insects and disease.
B. Fill in as necessary soil subsidence that may occur because of settling or other processes.
Replace mulch materials damaged or lost in areas of subsidence.
C. Apply treatments as required to keep plant materials, planted areas, and soils free of pests and
pathogens or disease. Use practices to minimize the use of pesticides and reduce hazards.
D. Apply pesticides and products and biological control agents only if absolutely necessary, and if so, in strict accordance with authorities having jurisdiction and manufacturer's written
recommendations. Coordinate applications with Owner's operations and others in proximity to
the Work. Notify Owner before each application is performed.
E. Protect plants from damage due to landscape operations and operations of other contractors and
trades. Maintain protection during installation and maintenance periods. Treat, repair, or
replace damaged plantings.
