QUALITY ASSURANCE A. Unless accepted otherwise by the Engineer, use manufacturers and installers that employ a Quality Management System complying with the program described in ISO 9001-2000, or similar system. B. Installer Qualifications: A specialist who is licensed according to regulations of authorities having jurisdiction to apply termite control treatment and products in jurisdiction where Project is located, and who employs workers trained and approved by bait-station system manufacturer to install manufacturer's products. Regulatory Requirements: Formulate and apply termiticides according to the EPARegistered Label. Source Limitations: Obtain termite control products from a single manufacturer for each product. Preinstallation Conference: Conduct conference at Project site to comply with requirements in Division 1 Section "Project Management and Coordination" to schedule application of termiticide products. Copies of daily records signed by an officer of the Contractor. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Refer to Division 1 specifications for sustainable development and LEEDS requirements. CORROSION PROTECTION A. The climate at the project site is particularly corrosive due to its proximity to the ocean, the resulting saline atmosphere, and the high average temperatures. The intense solar radiation is also a cause of accelerated aging of materials, as is the significant accumulation of fine sand and dust due to the nature of local soils. The Contractor will make all provisions necessary to propose, for the prior approval of the Engineer, and then to install, non-corroding products and materials where appropriate including aluminum, stainless steel, other non-corroding metals, and plastics. In the case where no alternative to steel or other oxidizing metal is possible (or where the specifications specifically indicate the use of steel), the steel or other material must be effectively protected against corrosion (by galvanization and/or protective paint coatings, for example) with an anticorrosion guarantee of 10 years. In all other cases, the Contractor will be asked to modify if necessary the proposed product (even if a catalogue or manufactured item) and to replace the corroding-type materials by non- corroding materials. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR Where possible the Contractor is to use suppliers of materials, products and equipment from companies having an office and maintenance service based in Qatar. WORK REASONABLY INFERRED Contractor shall execute the Work in accordance with the intent and meaning of the Drawings and Specification and shall supply all accessories and other items essential for the proper Performance and Completion of the Work and shall execute all Work, including the supply of necessary materials, which can be reasonably

inferred, whether or not specifically shown or described in the Drawings and Specification. 1.12 A. PROJECT CONDITIONS Environmental Limitations:To ensure penetration, do not treat soil that is water saturated. Do not treat soil while precipitation is occurring. Comply with requirements of the EPA-Registered Label and requirements of authorities having jurisdiction. COORDINATION Coordinate soil treatment application with excavating, filling, grading, and concreting operations. Treat soil under footings, grade beams, and groundsupported slabs before construction. Apply borate treatment after framing, sheathing, and exterior weather protection is completed but before electrical and mechanical systems are installed. Install bait-station monitoring system during construction to determine areas of termite activity. Install bait-station system after construction, including landscaping, is completed. WARRANTY Special Warranty: Manufacturer's standard form, signed by Applicator and Contractor certifying that termite control work, consisting of applied soil termiticide treatment, will prevent infestation of subterranean termites. If subterranean termite activity or damage is discovered during warranty period, re-treat soil and repair or replace damage caused by termite infestation. 1. 1.15 A. Warranty Period: 10 years from date of Final Acceptance.

APPLICATION, GENERAL General: Comply with the most stringent requirements of authorities having jurisdiction and with manufacturer's EPA-Registered Label for products. APPLYING SOIL TREATMENT A. Application: Mix soil treatment termiticide solution to a uniform consistency. Provide quantity required for application at the label volume and rate for the maximum specified concentration of termiticide, according to manufacturer's EPARegistered Label, to the following so that a continuous horizontal and vertical termiticidal barrier or treated zone is established around and under building construction. Distribute treatment evenly. 1. Slabs-on-Grade and Basement Slabs: Under ground-supported slab construction, including footings, building slabs, and attached slabs as an overall treatment. Treat soil materials before concrete footings and slabs are placed. Foundations: Adjacent soil including soil along the entire inside perimeter of foundation walls, along both sides of interior partition walls, around plumbing pipes and electric conduit penetrating the slab, and around interior column footers, piers, and chimney bases; also along the entire outside perimeter, from grade to bottom of footing.
