(End of Amendment) AMENDMENT 0003 The purpose of amendment 0003 to provide a question and response. QUESTION: Are there any paint specifications regarding application millages required? RESPONSE: Applied millages have not been applied to the paint requirement. Paint must be thick enough to not readily peel or chip, provide an easily cleanable surface in the event of radiological contamination, and coverage to prevent material decay, such as oxidation/rust, which results in particulate spread in the event of radiological contaminiation. Both of these are applied depending on the contamination. An example of the information provided on individual task orders is provided below: The paint shall be Sherwin-Williams Macropoxy 646-100 or equal. Salient characteristics of the Sherwin-Williams Macropoxy 646-100 and its durability, adhesiveness: Test Name Test Method Results Abrasion Resistance ASTM D4060, CS17 wheel, 1000 Cycles, 1 kg load 84 mg loss Adhesion ASTM D4541 1,037 psi Direct Impact Resistance ASTM D2794 30 in. lb Dry Heat Resistance ASTM D2485 250 degrees F (121 C) Pencil Hardness ASTM D3363 3H Color: A paint chip may be provided to winning offeror for each task order requiring painting when we want to ensure the color matches existing items at the NCNR The paint prep shall be done in accordance with the SSPC/NACE Surface Preparation Standards (attached). NIST requires SSPC-SP3 (Power Tool Cleaning) level preparation or better unless otherwise specified. Some requirements may dictate a more thorough prepping, such as SSPC-SP10/NACE 2. The paint prep required for each painted shield requirement will be noted on the WBOA delivery order form that accompanies the task order RFQ. For application information, refer to paint note on the PDF drawings that accompany the task order RFQ.
