ensure that edges, corners, crevices, welds, and exposed fasteners receive a dry film
thickness equivalent to that of flat surfaces.
4. Allow sufficient time between successive coats to permit proper drying. Do not recoat ..
surfaces until paint has dried to where it feels firm, and does not deform or feel sticky
under moderate thumb pressure, and until application of another coat of paint does not
cause undercoat to lift or lose adhesion. .�
C. Application Procedures: Apply paints and coatings by brush, roller, spray, or other applicators
according to manufacturer's written instructions.
1. Brushes: Use brushes best suited for type of material applied. Use brush of appropriate
size for surface or item being painted.

workers skilled in the trades involved.
B. Cleaning: Before applying paint or other surface treatments, clean substrates of substances that wu
could impair bond of the various coatings. Remove oil and grease before cleaning.
1. Schedule cleaning and painting so dust and other contaminants from the cleaning process
will not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces.
C. Surface Preparation: Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted according to manufacturer's
written instructions for each particular substrate condition and as specified.
1. Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or remove and reprime.
2. Cementitious Materials: Prepare concrete, concrete unit masonry, cement plaster, and
mineral-fiber-reinforced cement panel surfaces to be painted. Remove efflorescence, chalk,
dust, dirt, grease, oils, and release agents. Roughen as required to remove glaze. If
hardeners or sealers have been used to improve curing, use mechanical methods of surface
preparation.
a. Use abrasive blast-cleaning methods if recommended by paint manufacturer. *
b. Determine alkalinity and moisture content of surfaces by performing appropriate
tests. If surfaces are sufficiently alkaline to cause the finish paint to blister and burn,
correct this condition before application. Do not paint surfaces if moisture content **
exceeds that permitted in manufacturer's written instructions.
3. Wood: Clean surfaces of dirt, oil, and other foreign substances with scrapers, mineral
spirits, and sandpaper, as required. Sand surfaces exposed to view smooth and dust off.

APPENDIX A: TREE AND SHRUB PRESERVATION SPECIFICATIONS (SMITH COLLEGE)
General:
Due to the high expense of follow-up care necessary to offset construction damage to trees,shrubs,and soils,and
the importance of our tree and shrub collections to the overall quality of life on our campus,it is expected that every
effort will be made to eliminate construction damage.
1. Clearing,Grubbing, and Removal:
e 1.1. All trees and shrubs,unless noted to remain,shall be cut and removed in their entirety. All stumps,brush,
vegetation,rubbish and other perishable or objectionable matter shall be cleared from the site. No on-site burning
will be permitted. This debris shall be disposed of by the Contractor in an approved dumping site in compliance
with local codes and the Wetlands Protection Act.
1.2 Prior to starting site clearing operations or any other construction work,stake out all limits of cut and fill,and
groups or trees and shrubs to be saved. Promptly upon completion of layout work and before any clearing or other
construction work is begun on the site,the Contractor shall arrange a conference on the site with the Project
Manager and the Director of the Botanic Garden or his/her designate to identify and mark trees and areas of trees
and shrubs which are to remain. After the conference,the Contractor shall erect sturdy,temporary fencing along the
work area limits,separating it from protected areas. Minimum distances from protected trees shall be to the outer
drip lines around each tree or group of trees and shrubs. Sensitive species may require fencing at even greater
distances from the main trunk. Do no clearing without a clear understanding of existing conditions to be preserved.
1.3 Limits of clearing shall be those areas defined by the limits of cut and fill. Removal of trees,shrubs,and
herbaceous perennials outside those areas shall be done only as noted on the drawings and as approved by the
Project Manager and the Director of the Botanic Garden.
4W 1.4 Fell trees in such a way as to not injure trees to be saved. A representative of the Botanic Garden shall
designate trees that are to be carefully topped rather than felled. No trees shall be removed until authorized by the
Botanic Garden representative. Excavation or grading with the branch spread of trees to be saved shall be
performed only under the direction of the Project Manager,with the approval of the Director of the Botanic Garden
unless otherwise directed. Existing trees to be saved,which have,in the opinion of the Project Manager and the
Director of the Botanic Garden,become damaged,shall be replaced with trees of similar size and species.
Replacement trees to be tagged in the field or sales yard by the Director of the Botanic Garden or his/her
representative. Planting specifications for all replacement plantings will be provided by the Director of the Botanic
Garden. All expenses incurred shall be paid by the Contractor. If the tree or shrub cannot be replaced because of
size or peculiarity of species,the College shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Tree.Evalurtion Formula as
w described in"Guide for Plant Appraisal"and"Manual for Plant Appraisers"(latest editions)as published by the
Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers.
1.5 Exercise extreme care during grubbing and stripping operations to prevent damage to surface roots of trees to be
preserved. Stipping of topsoil around trees to be saved will be restricted to areas designated by the Director of the
Botanic Garden. Woody vegetation located near remaining trees is to be cut to ground level and left,or ground
below grade(not pulled out),in order to reduce root injury to remaining trees. When lowering grade,scarifying and
preparing sub grade for fills and structures within drip lines of trees to be saved,use retaining walls with
discontinuous footings to maintain natural grade as far as possible. Excavate finish grade by hand and prune
exposed roots in accordance with Section 2.3. Soil beyond cut face can be removed by equipment sitting outside the
drip line of the tree.
1.6 Remove stumps and roots to clear depth of not less than 1'0"below subgrade level except in areas where the
Director of the Botanic Garden has called for woody growth to be cut to ground level. At lawns only,depth shall be
on 6"below finish grade. All depressions excavated below the original ground surface for or by the removal of stumps
