specifications before installation or at such other time as the Contractor may desire in order to avoid
interruptions and delays in the progress of the Project. The Contractor shall reject any material which
does not meet specifications or which appears to have any defect, which may make the material unsuitable
for use in the Project. The Contractor shall notify the Owner and the manufacturer or supplier of all
defects and assist the Owner in arranging for the repair, replacement or correction of the defective
condition. The Contractor shall not be entitled to an extension of any deadline or completion date, which
results from failure to discover defects, which the Contractor should have discovered through an
inspection.

in costs and damages to the Owner in excess of the value of the materials; that after use in the Project it
may be difficult or impossible to inspect the material to determine the cause of any failure; and that in the
event of the failure of material there may be a question as to the cause of the failure. Because the
Contractor's employees will be the last to handle and inspect material prior to incorporation into the
Project, the Contractor will be liable to the Owner for damages resulting from failure of Owner -purchased
materials during the Contractor's warranty period specified herein from any cause whatsoever unless the
Contractor provides clear and convincing proof that (1) the entire loss from a failure is covered by a valid
manufacturer's or supplier's warranty, or (2) the Contractor could not have prevented the failure by
complying with the requirements of this Section concerning Owner -purchased materials.
4. Claims. The Contractor agrees to assist the Owner to present claims to manufacturers and suppliers for
defects in Owner -purchased materials. Where there is any question as to the division of liability between
the Contractor and a manufacturer or vendor, the Contractor shall provide all relevant information in the
Contractor's possession, which may aid the Owner in determining the division of responsibility. The
Owner shall have final approval of any proposed adjustment or settlement of warranty claims.
5. Implied Warranties. The benefit of contractual and implied warranties with respect to Owner -purchased
materials shall run to the Owner and not to the Contractor.
6. Unloading. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Contractor shall be responsible for unloading all
Owner -purchased materials and verifying delivery amounts to the Owner.

3.1 PREPARATION
A. Protection:
1. Provide covered access to building for public, employees, and service vehicles at all times.
2. Protect, or avoid contact with, auto and pedestrian traffic.
3. Protect aluminum, wood, and painted surfaces from exposure to cleaning solution. Also protect
plants and shrubbery.
4. Protect surrounding landscape and lawn areas from contact with cleaning solutions.
a. Landscape and lawn areas may be best protected by keeping them as wet as possible
through use of lawn soaker hoses which provide a slow but steady mist of water to areas
adjacent to masonry being cleaned.
b. Root systems of adjacent trees and shrubs exposed to cleaning rinse waters can be
protected with use of neutralizing trenches.
5. Protect non -masonry surfaces that are not to be replaced from contact with cleaning solution.
a. Protect wooden and painted surfaces with sheets of polyethylene or other proven protective
materials, firmly fixed and sealed to surface.
b. Keep non -masonry surfaces, which are not protected, running -wet with clean water
throughout cleaning process of adjacent masonries.
B. Surface Preparation:
Unit Masonry Cleaning - 2 - 040131
Project # 3885 6-25-2010 Austin Welding Lab Design
1. Complete paint stripping and cleaning procedures before installation of new window glazing and
paint finishes. Failure to do so will make it necessary to protect such finishes from contact with
cleaning and paint stripping agents.
2. Test surfaces not to be cleaned for possible detrimental effects of cleaning solutions and protect
as determined necessary by test results.
3. Temporarily calk or otherwise protect open joints to prevent intrusion of washing waters into wall
structure or building interior.
3.2 APPLICATION
A. General:
1. Any dilution of cleaning materials will be with clean water in accordance with instructions on
Manufacturer's printed container label.
2. Surface Treatment:
a. Thoroughly pre -wet surfaces, which are to be treated with water soluble materials, with clean
water before application of cleaning materials.
b. Purpose of pre -wetting is to limit activity of cleaning solution to masonry surface and prevent
cleaning solutions from being too readily absorbed by dry masonries. Failure to adequately
pre -wet may result in streaking and other residual staining of treated masonries.
3. Pressure Application:
a. Use high pressure rinsing equipment for pre -wetting and rinsing procedures described
below. Pressures of 400 to 800 psi and a flow rate of 4 to 6 gallons per minute have proved
most effective.
b. Use low-pressure spray application for cleaning materials. High pressure application may
drive cleaning compounds deep into masonry surface making it impossible to rinse treated
surfaces free of cleaning residues.
c. If spray application of cleaning solution is desired, apply cleaning agents with 50 psi
maximum spray equipment.
d. Equipment that can apply hot water shall be controllable so water temperatures do not
exceed 160 deg F.
4. Rinse chemicals after appropriate dwell time using garden hose just before rinsing with high-
pressure equipment.
5. Avoid cleaning at times of extreme or excessive winds.
Prewash:
1. Apply heavy coating of Prewash to masonry surface using synthetic fiber brush or roller.
2. Allow material to remain on surface until carbon stains are dissolved. Do not allow prewash to
dry on surface.
3. Rinse treated surfaces thoroughly with fresh water, employing pressure equipment removing all
cleaning compound, dirt, etc.
4. Apply a Restoration Cleaner to area treated using a natural fiber masonry washing brush or low
pressure spray.
5. Allow solution to dwell on surface three to five minutes depending on drying conditions. Do not
allow cleaning solution to dry in. I
6. Rinse treated surfaces thoroughly with fresh water employing pressure washing equipment -
removing all cleaning compounds, dirt, stains, etc.
C. Restoration Cleaner I:
1. Apply cleaning solution liberally to masonry surface using low-pressure spray or densely packed,
soft fibered masonry washing brush.
2. Allow cleaning solution to remain on wall for 3 to 5 minutes depending upon drying conditions.
Do not allow cleaning solution to dry in.
3. Reapply cleaning solution in a scrubbing manner.
4. Rinse treated surfaces thoroughly with fresh water employing pressure washing equipment
removing all cleaning compounds, dirt, etc.
5. Reapply as necessary.
6. Allow solution to dwell on surface 3 to 5 minutes depending on drying conditions. Do not allow
cleaning solution to dry in.

differential across the pump. Convert pressure to head and correct for differences in gage heights.
Note the point on manufacturer's pump curve at zero flow and verify that the pump has the
intended impeller size.
2. Check system resistance. With all valves open, read pressure differential across the pump and
mark pump manufacturer's head -capacity curve. Adjust pump discharge valve until indicated
water flow is achieved.
3. Verify pump -motor brake horsepower. Calculate the intended brake horsepower for the system
based on pump manufacturer's performance data. Compare calculated brake horsepower with
nameplate data on the pump motor. Report conditions where actual amperage exceeds motor
nameplate amperage.
4. Report flow rates that are not within plus or minus 5 percent of design.
Set calibrated balancing valves, if installed, at calculated presettings.
C. Measure flow at all stations and adjust, where necessary, to obtain first balance.
1. System components that have Cv rating or an accurately cataloged flow -pressure -drop relationship
may be used as a flow -indicating device.
D. Measure flow at main balancing station and set main balancing device to achieve flow that is 5 percent
greater than indicated flow.
Adjust balancing stations to within specified tolerances of indicated flow rate as follows:
1. Determine the balancing station with the highest percentage over indicated flow.
