D. Cushion Coating: Water-based Acrylic Polymer Emulsion with rubber granules encapsulated in the Latex coating.

E. Crack sealant: Acrylic, minimum dry solids by volume sixty nine (69) percent.

F. Aggregate:

1. Washed, dry silica sand free of dust, trash, clay, organic materials or other contaminants and supplied in bags to insure correct measurement.

2. Gradation: To have an American Foundry Society grain fineness number that is no less than sixty (65) and no more than ninety five (95), when tested in accordance with ASTM C136 and with ninety nine (99)% passing forty (40) mesh.

G. Mixing water:

1. Potable and free from harmful soluble salts.

2. Temperature of the water: minimum fifty (50) degrees F. (ten (10) degrees C.).

2.03 COMPOSITION OF MIXES

A. Color Coating Slurry Mixes: Per one hundred (100) gallons of color concentrate, add forty (40) to fifty (50) gallons of water, then add and mix from four (4) to eight (8) pounds per gallon of silica sand as per manufacturer’s written specification. (If Center Court is used, no additional sand is required.)

B. Cushion Coating: Per one hundred (100) gallons of cushion concentrate add thirty (30) to thirty-five (35) gallons of water.

2.04 EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS

A. All equipment, tools and machinery used for handling materials and executing any part of work shall be subject to approval by Architect/Engineer before work is started.

B. Use equipment for applying mixture that is designed for applying tennis court color coating and capable of applying required coating weights evenly to provide a smooth, uniformly coated surface.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.01 INSPECTION

A. Inspect existing paving surfaces for conditions and defects that will adversely affect quality of work, and which cannot be put into an acceptable condition through normal preparatory work as specified below.

B. Starting installation constitutes Contractor's acceptance of surface as suitable for installation.

3.02 PREPARATION

A. Existing Asphalt Tennis Court

1. Repairing asphalt paving: Repair areas shown in schedule according to color coat manufacturer's recommendations.

2. All cracks shall be cleaned thoroughly and blown out with compressed air.

a. Cracks one eighth (1/8) inch to three quarter (3/4) inch shall be filled with Dynaflex acrylic crack sealant.

b. Cracks greater than three quarter (3/4) inch shall be filled with Dynabinder/concrete mix to within one half (1/2) inch of surface and when cured, brought to level with Dynaflex Acrylic Crack Sealant.

3. Cleaning:

a. Thoroughly clean surfaces to be coated to remove all foreign debris (dirt, silt, gravel, leaves, etc.) using mechanically powered forced air sweepers, mechanical street sweepers, steel bristle brooms or high pressure water.

b. Thoroughly scrape mud areas and scrub wash with clean water.

c. If fungus is present, use a two (2) percent sodium hypochlorite solution to clean affected area.

4. Protection: Protect adjacent curbs, walks, fences, and other items from receiving color coat and cushion.

B. New Asphalt Tennis Court

1. Cleaning:

a. Thoroughly clean surfaces to be coated. Remove all foreign debris (dirt, silt, gravel, leaves, etc.) using mechanically powered forced air sweepers, mechanical street sweepers, steel bristle brooms, and/or high pressure water.

b. Thoroughly scrape mud areas and scrub wash with clean water.

2. Protection: Protect adjacent curbs, walks, fences, and other items from receiving color coat.

3. New pavements shall be allowed to cure, and pass the "no water break" test before application. Cast one or two gallons of clean water from a suitable clean container (such as a five (5) gallon pail) out on the surface. The water should sheet out and wet the surface uniformly without ribboning, crawling, or showing oil rings. (Comparable to water on very clean glass vs. dirty or greasy glass.) If the clean water does not wet the surface uniformly, the asphalt is not ready for coating and should age longer.

3.03 APPLICATION

A. When making mixture, mix in water first. For Dynaflex Color Coating, while agitating, add sand slowly. Keep mixture homogeneous prior to beginning application and during entire time mixture is being applied.

B. Apply cushion and color coat slurry uniformly over the entire surface per schedule.

C. Allow adequate time between applications for prior coat to dry thoroughly (tack free) before applying next coat. Apply no more than two coats of cushion per day. Upon completion of final coat, keep all foot traffic off sealed surface. Allow the final coat to cure at least twenty-four (24) hours, under good drying conditions, (at least seventy (70) degrees F.) before allowing foot traffic on surface. Less favorable conditions will require longer drying times.

D. Finished surface shall be free of streaks, pinholes, or uneven distribution of sand and shall have a uniform appearance.

E. Playing lines: Base lines shall be [ [ two (2) ] [three (3) ] [ four (4) ] ] inches (be sure to state width of base lines) wide and playing lines not more than two (2) inches wide, accurately located and marked in accordance with the rules of the United States Tennis Association, and painted with a paint recommended or approved by the manufacturer of the color finish material; however, use of traffic, oil, alkyd, or solvent-vehicle type paint is prohibited. The painting shall be done by skilled mechanics in a workmanlike manner in acdordance with the manufacturer's standard printed instructions. Prior to white line paint application, line paint tape gap filler shall be applied to reduce incidence of fuzzy lines.

3.04 PROTECTION

A. Barricade coated areas until coating has dried sufficiently for foot traffic.
