Stripping is the complete removal, without damage to the floor surface, of all finish <br /> and/or sealer from all visible floor surfaces and from those floor surfaces which can be <br /> exposed by the removal of non-fixed furnishings, baseboards, door bottoms, etc. <br /> Stripping also includes the complete removal of all marks, scuffs, stains, etc, except in <br /> cases in which there is damage to the floor surfaces. Where stripping chemicals are <br /> used, the areas shall be rinsed to completely remove any traces of the solution. The pH <br /> of the floor surface shall be brought to neutral (pH of 7) after stripping by rinsing with a <br /> mild acid base detergent. Stripping solution shall be wiped off immediately from <br /> baseboards and other fixed items in the area. During the stripping process, care shall <br /> be taken to avoid flooding of the floor with either the stripping solution or the rinse so as <br /> to prevent damage to the tile and its bond to the sub-floor. Prior to and after the service, <br /> all furniture shall be moved as necessary. The job shall not be considered complete <br /> until furniture is returned to its original location. <br /> To refinish the floors after the floor has been stripped, two coats of sealer shall be <br /> applied. Then at least two coats of metal interlock polymer floor finish shall be applied. <br /> Only every other coat shall be applied all the way to the baseboard. The alternating coat <br /> shall be applied so as to leave a 12" border around the area. The coats shall be thin and <br /> evenly applied. After the finish has dried, the reflectance shall be uniform and no <br /> streaks, swirls, etc., shall be visible. No finish shall be left on the baseboards or other <br /> fixed equipment in the area. Each coat of sealer or wax shall be buffed and dust- <br /> mopped thoroughly before the next coat is applied. Prior to and after the service all <br /> furniture shall be moved as necessary. The job shall not be considered complete until <br /> furniture is returned to its original location. <br /> K. Windows - As specified in Attachment A for each building <br /> Clean all interior windows and frames. Clean all exterior windows and frames. Windows <br /> shall be free of smudges, fingerprints, cobwebs, etc. <br /> L. Carpet Deep Cleaning Carpet cleaning shall be accomplished by using a Hot <br /> Water Extraction (Steam Cleaning) system. Equipment shall be truck mount unless <br /> otherwise approved by the City's Buildings Supervisor. Operate the floor wand or self- <br /> contained extractor by engaging the solution valve or button and pulling or pushing the <br /> equipment for approximately 3 to 5 feet (or at a comfortable distance). Release the <br /> solution valve before reaching the end of your pass to assure that you vacuum up all of <br /> the solution. Cover the same area two or three times with the solution valve off to <br /> remove as much moisture from the carpet as possible. Overlap approximately 2 inches <br /> into the area already cleaned and proceed as described above. In extremely soiled <br /> areas, it may be necessary to make two or three additional passes with the solution <br /> valve on. Make several additional passes with the solution valve off to remove as much <br /> moisture from the area as possible, always being careful not to over-wet the carpet. <br /> Place drying fans on wet areas during cleaning and allow the carpet to dry as <br /> thoroughly as possible. <br /> Bonnet cleaning of any facility carpet shall NOT be allowed under this contract. <br /> RFP 53282 CITY-WIDE JANITORIAL SVCS 71 <br />
