DIVISION 1 - GENERAL
SECTION 0100: SCOPE AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS
1.00 INTRODUCTION
The Drawings and the Specifications are complimentary to each other. Drawings
are graphic means of showing work to be done. They are particularly suited to
show where materials are located. Thus, drawings exist essentially to show
dimension, location and placement. Not all works however can be presented in the
drawings. Generalized works are usually in statement form and, hence, the
Contractor is required to read the Specifications carefully.
Specifications, on the other hand, are used to describe the materials, construction
techniques, samples, shop drawings, guarantees and other contract requirements.
Together, the Drawings and the Specifications are used to inform the Contractor.
The work specified herein is for the completion of the proposed

ENTERTAINMENT CITY-MANILA located at Manila Bay, Coastal Area,
Pasay City, Philippines.
2.00 NATIONAL LAWS, LOCAL ORDINANCES AND BUILDING RULES AND

REGULATIONS
Construction of the structure stipulated under these Specifications and related

Contract Documents prepared for this project by EDWIN E. AGUILING +
ASSOCIATES shall be in conformity with National Laws, Local Ordinances and
Building Rules and Regulations.
3.00 REFERENCE TO OTHER RELATED CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
A. Work listed and described in these Specifications are subject to the General
Conditions of the Contract which forms part of this work.
B. Detailed Specifications of more significant or more highly involved phases or

trades of construction work, or those which under certain circumstances are
deemed to require further elaboration or clarification, are also included in this set
of Specifications.
0010 - 01
4.00 LANGUAGE OF THE SPECIFICATIONS
The Specifications are of the abbreviated type and include incomplete sentences.
The selection of structure depends on the underlying principles of specifications:
A. That the Technical Specifications are only one part of the Contract Documents;
B. That the Contract is between the Owner and the General Contractor; and
C. That the General Contractor is the only party responsible for completing the
work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
Therefore,
A. Only the General Contractor is referred to in the Specifications so as not to

violate the intent of the Contract and so as not to undermine the proper chain of
command.
B. Any reference to Specialty Trade Contractor in the Technical Specifications is

made only in so far as to selection. The General Contractor assumes all
responsibilities for the execution of the whole project in accordance with the
Contract Documents. Therefore, in the contract between the Owner and the
General Contractor, the Specialty Trade Contractor is not referred to. In all
Contract Documents, the word "Contractor" is meant the General Contractor.
C. The omission of the phrase "The Contractor shall" is intentional because the
whole specification is directed to the Contractor. Omitted words or phrases shall
be supplied by inference in the same manner as they are when a "note" occurs in
the Drawings.
D. Where "as shown", "as indicated", "as detailed" or words of similar import are
used, it shall be understood that the reference to the drawings accompanying the
Specifications is made, unless otherwise stated.
E. Where "as directed", "as required", "as permitted", "as authorized", "as approved",
"as accepted" or words of similar import are used, it shall be understood that the
direction, requirement, permission, authorization, approval or acceptance of the
Architect is intended, unless otherwise specified.
F. As used herein, "provided" shall be understood to mean "provided complete in

place” that is, “furnished and installed.”
0010 - 02
G. Most sentences are in the imperative mood. This style is especially suited for
instructions covering installations of products and equipment.
Example: "spread adhesive using notched trowel"

"use a notched trowel"
"install flooring with textures side up"
The verb is the first word of the sentence clearly defining the action to be
performed. This is more concise and, therefore, readily understandable.
5.00 NATURE AND SCOPE OF GENERAL CONSTRUCTION WORK
A. Work contemplated under comprehensive work shall consist of furnishing

materials, labor, plant, equipment, tools, appliances, utilities, transportation,
detailed superintendence and supervision, temporary construction of every
nature, taxes, and satisfactory performance of work and operations necessary

3.00 EXECUTION
3.01 SURFACE PREPARATION
Before the start of the painting or varnishing work, the Painting Contractor
shall prepare 1200 millimeters by 1200 millimeters paint or varnish area
designated by the Architect or Engineers and same will be used as standard
workmanship for the entire work. Samples shall be made of surface
preparation, primers, stains, fillers and' finish coat applications.
A. Concrete
a. Exterior and Interior: (Poured, plaster, stucco or hollow blocks) :

Remove all loose grit or mortar, dust, dirt, grease, oil, wax,
contaminants and any other foreign matter. Pre-treat concrete which
have been weathered with CONCRETE NEUTRALIZER by mixing
473.12 ml. to eight liters of water or 946.25 ml. to 16 ml. of water.
Apply liberally with brush. Allow solution to dry overnight before
rinsing with water to remove white residue.
Modify the surface chemically by using the recommended primers

where necessary to make the painting surface receptive to the coating
desired Repair works, cracks and nicks with the proper and
recommended patching material concrete putty.
Allow surface to dry before applying the first coat.
After surface is dried, apply CONCRETE PRIMER SEALER.
Efflorescence may appear for masonry that is unpainted and exposes

to the weather for six months or more. Remove efflorescence by:
i. Light sand-blast
ii. Wire-brush and wash the surface thoroughly with water,
Neutralize and test pH or alkalinity. Salts and white Crystals
which resist water can be dissolved by washing or Scrubbing
the surface with diluted hydrochloric acid, (half liter
hydrochloric acid to four liters of water). Rinse surface with
water and allow to dry.
b. Repainting: Remove all loose, scaling, flaking, blistering and peeling

off paint with the use of paint remover, wire brushing, scrapping or
water blasting. Let dry
0820 - 04
For chalking old paint, treat with masonry conditioner and use primer.
In case of mildew infestation, treat with MILDEWCIDE WASH
SOLUTION by swabbing or brushing. Allow either solution to remain
on the surface for 24 hours to ensure proper treatment. Brush off and
rinse with water. Let dry.
B. Metal
a. Ferrous Metal: Metal must be clean and dry, free from oil, grease, wax,
dust, rust, solder flux and other contaminants.
The ideal surface preparation for rusty metal is White Metal Blasting
which can be achieved by san-blasting or power-grinding. This
involves the removal of all visible rust, mill scale, paint and
contaminants, leaving the metal uniformly white or gray in
appearance. This metal surface preparation should be used where
maximum performance protective coating is necessary due to
exceptionally severe conditions such as constant immersion in water or
liquid chemicals.
The films of rust may be removed by wire-brushing, sanding or

scraping.
Thicker layers of rust can be removed with the use of solutions. Wipe
the surface with rag soaked in paint thinner.
Metal surfaces cleared of rust must be immediately primed. Do not

allow bright metal to be exposed to the elements for prolonged periods
as rust will set in fast. Clean with paint thinner especially where solder
flux has been used.
b. Galvanized Iron: Clean thoroughly to remove dust, foreign matter, oil

or grease by solvent, thinner or galvawash solution. Light sand glossy
finish of new galvanized iron; clean thoroughly. Weathered surfaces
showing thin films of rust shall be sanded or wirebrush cleaned;
immediately thereafter, prime with oxide primer or chromate primer.
Rust films that cannot be removed by wire-brushing or sanding should

be removed with solution. Wire brush or scrape rusted metal. Apply.
Then clean surface and immediately apply metal primer. Do not allow
surfaces removed of rust to be exposed to the weather as rust will set
in fast.
c. Repainting: Sand wire brush or scrape rusted metal and apply rust
converter to remove rust. Let it stay for 10 to 15 minutes. Thoroughly
wash off surface with mineral spirits. Let dry before applying paint.
0820 - 05
Metal surfaces cleared of rust must be immediately primed with metal

primer. Do not allow metal to be exposed to the elements for
prolonged periods as rust will set in fast.
C. Aluminum: Surfaces must be dry, clean and free from foreign maters which
may impair adhesion. Clean surfaces with lacquer thinner then light sand
to reduce gloss before application. Use vinyl wash, for surfaces which
should be roughed for better adhesion. Allow overnight to dry, before
applying the desired finish coat.
D. Cementitious Waterproofing System: Surface must be clean, free of dust,

grease, rust, grit or mortar. For masonry, wet first the surface before
applying the cementitious waterproofing to avoid abrupt drying and
chalking of the modified cement. Apply bond coat by brushing straight
from the can. Apply mortar topping while the cementitious waterproofing
coating still tacky.
Allow overnight before applying topcoat.
E. Putty
a. Masonry Putty: For filling minor surface, unevenness and full puttying
apply concrete putty with putty knife. Thin with water when
necessary. Allow two hours before recoating.
b. Metal and Wood Putty: For filling minor surface dents and
imperfections apply glazing putty with putty knife. Thin with paint
thinner when necessary. Allow two hours before recoating. Scuff sand.
F. Glossy Surfaces: Sand and clean surfaces thoroughly. This method will
provide a "tooth" for the following coats.
G. Oil and Grease: Remove oil or grease by paint thinner or by wiping with
rags wetted with paint thinner. Change solvents and rags frequently.
Remove loose dirt by bristle brushes, then blow clean with air pressure or
steam cleaning.
