pressed air to remove residue and debris resulting from the cleaning work. Coordinate method of marking remov-
al with Authority Having Jurisdiction if markings are in a public right-of-way.

ment to produce uniform straight edges. Use straightedge to ensure uniform, clean, and straight stripe.

C. The following items shall be re-painted with colors noted below:
1. Exterior Sidewalk Striping: Match existing.

3.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Inspection: After the paint has thoroughly dried, visually inspect the entire application and touch up as required to
provide clean, straight lines and surfaces throughout.

chine, changing operators of striping machine, and changing paint types, brands, etc. This shall be performed in
