place, provided the above-specified base course is used and compaction
is monitored with field density testing.

surface shall be not more than 0.15 feet above or below established grade.
The surface of areas to be paved shall not vary more than 0.05 feet from the
established grade.

shaped to line and grade, it shall be rolled with a power roller or other
suitable methods until thoroughly compacted. This operation shall include
any reshaping and wetting required along with the rolling of the subgrade to
obtain proper compaction. The Architect may waive rolling, as necessary to
avoid disturbance to natural soils.

rejection. If a single end crack that does not exceed the depth of the
joint exists in more than 10% of the pipe inspected, however, the
defective pipe shall be rejected.
2. Defects which indicated imperfect mixing and molding.

NORTH ANDOVER SENIOR CENTER
North Andover, Massachusetts
3.07 TESTING: (Continued)
C. Tests for infiltration into gravity drains and appurtenances shall be made
when the ground water level is above the crown of the drain. Tests for
leakage out of gravity drains and appurtenances shall be made when the
groundwater level is below the crown of the drain. Leakage sets out of
drains shall be made by filling the drain and manholes in the section being
tested with water to a level not more than 6 feet above the centerline of the
main drain pipe at the lowest point in that section. Infiltration into gravity
drains shall be made by building temporary bulkheads at both ends of the
section under tests and allowing the groundwater to leak into the drain. The
Contractor shall remove all bulkheads and weirs after the conclusion of tests
when ordered by the Engineer.
D. Whenever drains cannot be tested by water because of steep slopes, or for
other reasons acceptable to the Engineer, low-pressure air tests shall be used
to test the gravity drains. Leakage shall be measured in terms of time for the
pressure to drop from 3.5 pounds per square inch gauge to 2.5 pounds per
square inch gauge. Allowable time for difference sizes of pipe shall be in
accordance with current accepted standards.
E. The Contractor shall make all necessary arrangements for securing the water
for test purposes and shall stand the expense of these arrangements and of the
water required for leakage tests.

(Continued)
D. Apply deck adhesive to the surface using roller or spray, at a rate of
approximately 100-125 square feet per gallon immediately rolling FSR into
the wet adhesive. Repositioning of the membrane is possible, if necessary, if
transparent, it must be recoated before placing the membrane.
E. Use a soft broom to push out any entrapped air and assure full contact of the
membrane backing to the concrete surface. After bonding an adequate length
of membrane, fold back the remaining amount of unbonded material. Apply
deck adhesive to the concrete surface, lay in membrane, and then brush out.
F. Install the second and succeeding rolls in the same manner. Be certain that
the selvedge overlaps the previously laid (adjacent) membrane by the proper
amount, at least 1 1/2".
G. Always join seams working from one end to the other. Fold back the
selveage and apply lap adhesive using a 2" wide natural bristle paint brush or
a roller. Form lap adhesive on the entire selveage underside.
H. Carefully assemble the adjoining surfaces to assure that no wrinkles are
formed. Roll across the entire seam to insure positive contact.
I. Caulk a bead of lap sealant along the edge of the lap joint and feather each
edge of the bead. Do not apply lap sealant in areas to be flashed prior to
installation of flashing.
J. Care should be exercised to insure that water does not flow beneath any
existing or completed sections of roof, by temporarily sealing the loose edge
of the membrane with Sure-Seal Nite Seal when the weather is threatening.
Mix the two components thoroughly according to the instructions on the
label. Apply the Nite Seal at a rate of 125 lineal feet per gallon, twelve (12)
inches back from the edge of the sheet. It may be necessary to use a trowel
to spread the material in order to achieve the prescribed coverage. After
embedding the membrane in the Nite Seal, weight the edge, providing
continuous pressure over the length of the cutoff. When work is resumed,
pull the sheet free before the installation is continued. Allow no unfinished
roof areas or exposed roof sheathing to be left uncovered or unprotected in
wet weather or at night.

adhesion of the undercoat. No painter's finish shall be applied until the
preceding coat is thoroughly dry, and in no case in less than two (2)
days.
C. Minimum Coating Thickness: Apply materials at not less than
manufacturer's recommended spreading rate, to establish a total dry film
thickness as indicated or, if not indicated, as recommended by coating
manufacturer, but not less than between 30-50 SF per gallon.
D. Prime Coat: Apply first coat of alkyd flat wall paint or good quality primer-
sealer over entire surface.
1. Recoat primed and sealed surfaces where there is evidence of suction
spots or unsealed areas in first coat, to assure a finish coat with no
burn-through or other defects due to insufficient sealing.
E. Final Coat: Apply textured spray finish as per manufacturer's instructions.
G. Completed Work: Remove, refinish or repaint work not in compliance with
specified requirements.
