Test Staining Clause Samples

Test Staining. Before any staining operations, complete a test staining program for color acceptance and surface area coverage. Perform this work either at the concrete precaster’s plant on the noise barrier test wall or at the Project site on a portion of an erected noise barrier under the same circumstances as the actual staining. Stain one complete noise barrier section, including posts. Before ordering, submit a sample for approval of the concrete stain and color. Accompany the sample with the manufacturer’s literature including materials specifications, physical properties, including ASTM test methods utilized, manufacturer’s recommended application rates for the various surface textures and porosity, current application instructions, and material safety data sheets. Apply the stain according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, and representing the job site application. Obtain approval of the stain test sample by the RE and the Department’s Bureau of Landscape and Urban Design before actual staining operations and the ordering of any further quantities of stain. When approved, the sample area will serve as a standard of acceptance for all further work. A standard for color will be established based on the approval of the full size noise barrier staining. Designate a stain batch by batch number and date and will remain the standard for the entire Project.
