A more detailed description of this work is as follows: 1. As part of this project, any areas where paint is flaking or peeling will be scraped, cleaned, and re-primed with Mad Dog Dura-Prime primer and painted with two coats of high-quality Sherwin Williams Duration, Low Lustre Exterior Latex. The color is Extra White #6510-28078. This is the same brand, color, and type of paint used to paint the main building last year. 2. Check for any water or ice damage to the shield around the base of the clock tower area, repair and seal as needed prior to painting. 3. Paint the clock tower area, including clock faces, located between the main church roof and belfry area, as specified in section 1 of this attachment. The clock faces shall be painted with Sherman Williams Emerald, Satin Exterior Latex; the color is Black Forest Green. The numerals, minute markings, and clock hands shall be left as-is except that minute markings and numerals found to be canted or misaligned shall be reset to align properly. a. The successful bidder will analyze the gold-colored minute markings, clock hands, and hour numerals while working on the clock face. They will determine how these components have been finished and offer a price to the Town at that time to finish said markings, clock hands, and numerals. At its option, the Town may elect to have these items finished at the agreed upon cost. If desired, this work would be added by change order. 4. Check the flashing around each of the eight columns to the belfry level to insure complete seal. Reseal as needed each column with adhesive compatible with Carlisle Adhered Roofing system. These columns were cut in February 2000. They have continued to dry but have not had attention since reconstruction. Checks in the columns themselves shall be left open to breathe. Paint only the exterior surface of the column and take care not to fill the void of said checks with paint. 5. Check the belfry drip edge for adhesion. Repair as necessary. 6. Inspect around the belfry arches and fill any cracks with an epoxy patching compound specifically formulated for wood, similar to Abatron or Gougeon.
