PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.01 INSTALLATION

A. Apply adhesives, sealants and mechanical fasteners in strict accordance with the
guidelines set by their respective manufacturers.

B. Utilize manufacturer-provided template to lay out area to receive panels.

C. Form recess for panels by either milling with diamond blade head or casting recess
in place (at new paving) so that installed panel will still flush relative to adjacent
surface. Grind or form to the depth and width required by the approved shop
drawings and manufacturer's instructions. Finish cast-in-place recess with
equivalent of a light broom finish. When milled, substrate shall have a light ribbed
finish.

D. Contain and remove slurry resulting from concrete milling and saw cutting. Do not
wash slurry into track bed area.

E. For Panels with Recessed Flanges:

1. Utilize diamond bladed double headed wet saw to achieve parallel

grooves to receive panels. Both saw cuts shall be made simultaneously
from the same machine. Saw cut parallel to platform edge.

2. After saw cutting, vacuum and power wash surface with clean clear
water, free from all dirt and debris. Visually inspect surface for obtrusions
or foreign matter. If obtrusions are present, remove by grinding. Remove
foreign matter by grinding or further washing, as appropriate.

3. Immediately prior to application of the setting adhesive, inspect surfaces

to receive panel to ensure that they are clean, dry, free of voids, curing
compounds, projections, loose material, dust, oils, grease, sealers, and
other contaminants. Verify that surfaces are structurally sound and that
concrete has cured a minimum of 30 days. Obtain panel manufacturer's
