No. 5907 Reorder: Call Toll-Free 1-800-876-6827 Exhibit "A"---- CITY OF ASPEN TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR REMEDIATION OF THE COATED STEEL SURFACES AT THE JAMES E. MOORE NATATORIUM ASPEN, CO. PART, 1.0 - TECHNICAL 1.01 SCOPE This section defines the technical and quality requirements for removing the existing acrylic cOatings on: · the structural steel, · the decking and truss work comprising the ceiling area; · galvanized ductwork, · the open stairways and railings. in the James E. Moore Natatorium in the city of Aspen, CO. and applying an inorganic zinc-rich/epoxy system to the steel surfaces. The existing acrylic coatings were applied over, in many cases, inadequately prepared steel containing mill scale and rust. Additionally the acrylic system is inadequate to provide corrosion protection in the moist chemical environment of the natatorium. Additionally, the truss work and ceiling surfaces contain many crevices which will require tedious surface preparation operations and caulking prior to painting. It is anticipated that some form of abrasive blasting will be necessary in order to remove the existing coatings. Since the work will have to be performed in the natatorium, dust and spent abrasive containment will be of utmost importance. Strong consideration should be given to the use of Iow dust abrasive blasting operations such as Sponge-Jet, Sodium Bicarbonate blasting, wet abrasive blasting etc. Coating removal on galvanized surfaces will have to be accomplished without imparting any damage to the galvanized surfaces. For this operation mild abrasive blasting operations (Sodium Bicarbonate) should be considered. CITY OF ASPEN JAMES E. MOORE NATATORIUM ASPEN, CO.

Use Underwriter's Laboratories approved containers for transporting paint to mixing areas. 8. Use explosion-proof lighting fixtures. Do not permit the accumulation of empty paint cans, combustibles, and other debris. 10. Maintain MSD sheets for all materials. B. MIXING AND THINNING OF COATING MATERIALS Verify that the paint to be mixed has not exceeded its shelf life.. When required by the manufacturer, warm paints stored at less than 50OF to above 50OF prior to mixing. Utilize proper ventilation in the mixing area to prevent injury to workers or the accumulation of volatile gases. Mix all coatings in accordance with the requirements of the coating manufacturer using mechanical equipment such as a Jiffy mixer. Observe induction times as applicable. 4. Mix only complete kits of material. Mixing of partial kits is not allowed. Do not use two component materials beyond the pot life established by the manufacturer's written instructions. Thin paints in strict accordance with the coating manufacturer's written instructions. Use only those types, brands, and amounts of thinner recommended by the coating manufacturer. Limit the thinning to the minimum amount necessary to facilitate application. Assure that thinning operations do not Violate all federal and lOcal VOC limits. 3.07 COATING APPLICATION Ao Surface Preparation - Verify that the surface exhibits the specified degree of cleaning immediately' prior to painting. B. Grease/Oil - If grease or oil have become deposited on the bare substrate or on the surface of any of the applied coats, remove by solvent cleaning in accordance CITY OF ASPEN MAY 13, 2004 JAMES E. MOORE NATATORIUM ASPEN, CO. Page 15 of 22 with SSPC-SP 1 prior to the application of the next coat. Surface Cleanliness - Thoroughly clean the surface of each coat prior to the application of the next to remove spent abrasive, dirt, dust, and' other interference material. Ambient Conditions - Apply coatings under the following conditions unless the requirements of the coating manufacturer are more restrictive or permit otherwise (moisture cured urethanes). When applying coatings that are specifically designed for application over condensation, wipe the surface free of visible moisture immediately prior to application. The dew point restrictions do not apply in these cases. 1. Surface and Air Temperatures - Between 50°F and 110°F. 2. Relative Humidity - Less than 85%. 3. Dew Point Surface temperature at least 5°F above the dew point temperature of the surrounding air. Frost/Rain - Do not apply coatings to surfaces containing frost or during rain, fog, or similar conditions. Remove and replace any paint that is exposed to unacceptable conditions (e.g. rain or dew) prior to adequate curing. Methods of Application - Apply all coats by the methods shown below unless the methods recommended by the paint manufacturer are more restrictive: Airless or conventional spray application - If conventional spray is used, verify that the compressed air supply is clean and dry as determined by the blotter test per ASTM D4285. When spraying, use extreme care to avoid contamination of surrounding areas or property by overspray. Brush or roller application - Brushes or rollers may be used to control overspray, or for localized application such as touch-up, in areas of limited accessibility for spraying, or for stripe coating. Do not use brushes or rollers for the application of inorganic zinc-rich coatings. F. Coverage, Continuity, and Stripe Coating CITY OF ASPEN JAMES E. MOORE NATATORIUM ASPEN, CO. Apply each coat to assure thorough wetting of the substrate or underlying coat, and to achieve a smooth, streamline surface relatively free of dryspray, overspray, and orange peel. Shadow-through, pinholes, bubbles, skips, misses, lap marks between applications, variations in color or texture or other visible discontinuities in any coat are unacceptable. Runs or sags may be brushed out while the material remains wet. MAY 13, 2004 Page 16 of 22 Thoroughly coat all surfaces with special attention to hard-to:reach areas and irregular surfaces such as edges, corners, welds, and bolts. Apply a stripe coat to edges, welds'i crevices, rivets, bolt threads, and other similar surface irregularities prior to the application of the intermediate and finish coatS. Color - Colors shall be as directed by the Owner. Tint - Tint successive coats (if approved by the manufacturer), or use materials of sufficiently different color to facilitate proper coverage and to provide a visual distinction between coats. Recoat Time - APply each coat only after the previous coat has been allowed to dry as required by the manufacturer's' written instructions, but as soon as possible to minimize the length of exposure to dust and contamination. Coating Adhesion Apply all coats in such a manner to assure that they are well-adherent to each other and to the substrate. As required by the Engineer, conduct adhesion tests .of the coating. Use ASTM D3359 and/or ASTM D4541, as directed. If the application of any coat causes lifting of an underlying coat, or there is poor adhesion between coats or to the.substrate, remove the coating in the affected area to adjacent sound, adherent, coating, and reapply the material. Wet Film Thickness - Use wet film thic_kness gages in accordance with ASTM D4414 to verify the thickness of each coat at the time of application. Dry Film Thickness and Number of Coats For steel surfaces, apply the number of coats and the film thickness of each coat in accordance with Table 1, below.

Measure the thickness of each coat applied to ferrous substrates using nondestructive magnetic dry film thickness gages. Comply with SSPC-PA 2 for the calibration and use of the gages, and the frequency of thickness CITY OF ASPEN JAMES E. MOORE NATATORIUM ASPEN, CO, MAY '13, 2004 Page 18 of 22 3.08 measurements. Measure the thickness of each coat applied to non-ferrous metal substrates using nondestructive thickness gages in accordance with ASTM D1400. o If there are disputes regarding the non-destructive measurements of coating thickness on metal substrates, a Tooke Gage (destructive scratch gage) may be used when authorized by the Engineer. Conduct measurements in accordance with ASTM D4138, but limit its use to a minimum of locations. Mark and repair all damage created by the ~destructive testing. 6. Apply additional coating in areas of insufficient thickness with care to assure that all repairs blend in with the surrounding material. Unless directed otherwise by the Engineer, remove excessive coating thickness and reapply the affected coat(s). REPAIR OF DAMAGE TO COMPLETED COATING SYSTEM A. Surface Preparation Localized Damage - Prepare localized damage by solvent cleaning in accordance with SSPC-SP 1 followed by power tool cleaning: a) If the damage exposes the substrate, remove all lose material as described in SSPC-SP 11. b) If the substrate is not exposed, clean in accordance with SSPC-SP 3. c) Use SSPC-SP 2 hand tool cleaning for surface preparation only upon approval of the Engineer. d) SSPC-VIS 3 may be used as an aid in defining the appearance of the steel after preparation. Extensive Damage - Prepare extensive damage to the coating by methods such as power tool cleaning, as directed by the Engineer. Feathering - Regardless of the method of preparation, feather the surrounding coating at each repair for a distance of 1 to 2 inches to provide a smooth, tapered transition into intact coating. Roughen the existing coating in the feathered area to assure proper adhesion of the repair coat(s). CITY OF ASPEN JAMES E. MOORE NATATORIUM ASPEN, CO. MAY t3, 2004 Page 19 of 22 3.09 3.10 B. Coating Application 1. When the bare substrate is exposed in the damaged area, apply all coats. When the damage does not extend to the bare substrate, re-apply only the affected coats. 3. Maintain the thickness of the system in the Overlap areas within the specified total thickness tolerances. HOUSEKEEPING, CLEAN-UP AND WASTE DISPOSAL A. 'HOUSEKEEPING AND CLEAN-UP Conduct housekeeping daily to maintain the work site in a neat and orderly condition. Solvent cleaning of all paint application equipment shall be conducted in accordance with all federal and' local VOC requirements. At the end of each day at a minimum, haul empty paint cans and other debris to the waste storage area. Promptly remove all paint drips, splashes, and overspray from surfaces not intended to be painted. Upon project completion, remove all equipment and materials, correct any damage caused by the oPeration, and leave all surfaces in a clean and acceptable condition. B. WASTE STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Handle and store all hazardous and non-hazardous project waste in strict accordance with the all federal, state and local requirements. INSPECTION A.

CEILING JAMES E. 3/IO ORE PO OL NATA 'lcOKIubl - PROJV. CT. 2004-041 Aspen, Colorado Teohno Coatings, Inc. (TCI), an SSPC QP-I, QP-2 and QP-3 Certified Contractor (in business as' an industrial coatings contractor for over 30 years), has visited the jobsite and proposes to furnish all supervision, labor, equipment, material, insurance and taxes necessary to remove the existing paint from the ceiling and trusses and repaint witJa an epoxy system as follows: SCOPE OF WORK: We wilt have a scaffolding company build a platform (dance floor) over the two pool areas for Terhno Coatings, Inc. to gain access to the ceiling and prevent abrasive and paint chips from getting into the pool water and on the decks. Three towers will be built over the deep pool area on top of the dance floor. 2. We will' cover ~'e dance floor.and walls;, murals, windows,, overhead doors, "lights, HVAC ductwork andsprinkler heads of the fire protection system. 3. Install a dust collection system to achieve negative air inside the building/work area. Abrasive blast the ceiling deck, roof trusses, including the steel stairway, riser's columns, and platforms of the slide a_nd the steel colunms supporting the roof, to an SSPC-SP10 "Near White" metal blast. (Addendum #1 -Deduct $6,220.00 to delete the stairway). The spent abrasive and paint chips will be removed from the building and deck area and placed outside in dumpsters for disposal. The galvanized ductwork will have the paint stripped and will be repainted. (Addendum #1 - Deduct $21,740.00 to delete the ductwork) We will use a paint stripper, not blasting media. 7. We Will apply a zinc-rich epoxy primer at 2 to 5 mils to the steel surfaces. SgNI±UO3 ONHD3± THE CITY OF ASPEN $U1¥ I2, 2004 Page 2 We will apply two coats of epoxy at 3-5 mils each coat for a total dry film thickness Of 8-15 mils. (Color by owner) We will use the Devoe Epoxy System, Catha-Coat 302H and two-coats of Devran 220. Galvanized steel will require the first coat of epoxy to be Devran 201 as described in Table 2. 9. Remove the protective ptmtie from the decks, walls, ducts, sprinkler pipe and lighting I 0. The scaffolding will be left for the'City of.Aspen to install.sound barriers near the ceiling. . We have allowed one week. 1 I. The scaffolding will then be removed. 12. A final cleanup will be performed to complete the project. 13. Addendum #1 - Caulking is based upon 600 places or 600 L/F. Additional Caulking will 'be onT&M. SCHEDULE: We will need 90 calendar days to complete the work (three (3) months) or less. We anticipate performing the work immediately after Labor Day, 2004. PRICING: Scaffolding, and deck $100,000.00 Paint removal and recoating bacluding caulking and ducts $350,000.00 TOTAL LUMP SUM: $450,000.00 Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars Note: We are currently sandblasting and recoating the Red Cliff, Colorado Bridge, State H/ghway 24, under the Colorado Department of Transportation specifications. ~0'~ qW/O± Co tiv s TIlE CITY OF ASPEN ]uIy 12, 2004 Page 3 The onsite supervisor will be a working foreman, not a superintendent. We will cover the water with plasti¢/visqueen and will not use dehumidification equipment. All overtime fees by KTA, if required, will be borne by the City. Inaccessible areas will not be blasted or coated. Please make arrmagements for your water pre-filter, to remove galvanized zinc coating, particulate and flakes from the water before it enters your pumps, chlorinators, heaters, etc. This zinc is from the galvanized scaffolding posts, bracing, beams, etc. We do not know that this is a problem, but the scaffold company does not want to be responsible for any unforeseen damage resulting from the galvanized material in the water. The water must be kept "neutral" by you so the scaffold material will not be damaged from chemicals. Thank you for the oppommity to submit the above proposal. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free To contact me ar your earliest conyenienee. Very Truly YourS, Vice President CW/lk JUL-O?-2004 :l.5: 21 TECHNO COAT INGS P. 02/03 Aspen Recreation Center Pool Natatorium Painting Project 2004-04! Addendum 1. If the contractor works al0 hour days, 5 days a week, does this affect the KTA inspector's charges? The City of Aspen allows construction activity ?AM to ?PM Monday through Saturday. As this project will be inside and exists within a commercial zoning, work may take place above and beyond those restrictions as long as no complaints are generated from neighbors or other building occupants. 2. What sort of down time is expected for inspections by KTA? Minimal - the inspector wilt be on site full time at key job progress points. Inspection will typically be brief.., ie. to ensure adequam sutfa~e preparation, coating coverage, etc. 3. Caulking It is ofuunost importance to assure that all join~s and crevices are caulked to prevent fi:Pare rust staining. All joints, crevices, stitch welds, laps, otc. shall be caulked. 4. Ambiem Conditions Should it be decided ~chat the water is to remain in the pool, oonsideration should be given to provide barriers or membranes to iiolat~ the water form the surrounding environment. Additional consideration should be given to providing dehtlrnidifieation in order to complete the work in a timely fashion while meeting the prescribed ambient conditions. $. Our structural engineer has reservations about hanging heavy loads from the bar joists. Minimal hanging may be allowed with structural analysis and our approval, 6. Break out the slide stair costs7 If costs to repair and repaint the slide stairs are significant we may look at a complete stair replacement. (This is low probability). 7, Break out the ductwork costs? If costs to remove the paint on the galvanized ductwork is significant, we may look at a complete duet'work replacement. (This is low probability). 8, Start date and completion date of project. The start date is Septexnber 7, 2004. Ideally, we would'like the work. to be completed by Thanksgiving, however we realize there is a possibility it may take longer. Bids mu~t state an estimate~ time frame for completion, l~lork will be completed' by Hovember 24, 2004./~1
