If the GPC tech determines that the wall is a ` %ot spot" (likely to get ftequent graffiti), GPC upon <br />approval of the City will use its Graffiti Wash proves. The &zg# i Wash process employs a <br />coating consisting of paraffin wax, water, and an emulsifier. The coating is completely non -toxic <br />and biodegradable, and_ in fact is safe enough to drink. <br />The coating is sprayed on to the surface to a height of about nine feet. Once the coating has dried, <br />roughly 10 minutes, it becomes virtwlly invisible and forms a durable barrier on top of the surface <br />of the structure. <br />Although the coating is only one quarter of a millimeter thick, it prevents paint, ink, marker, and <br />crayon from reaching the building surface lnstead, the graffiti settles on top of the wax where it is <br />washed away using GPC specialized equipment Neither rain nor summer weather will affect the <br />coating. <br />Since the Graffla Wash process makes future removals easier for GPC, there will be no charge for <br />the coating application - <br />Also the City will have free access to GPC's 250+cfm soda blaster trucks. These trucks will be <br />brought in at no charge when the City has a specific project that requires high-powered equipment. <br />-Trees <br />Wmdmill Palm, Jacafilia Date Palm, Date palm, Mexican Fan, Ideal Queen Palm, and unpainted <br />trees will be water blasted using a wide angle tip. For other trees that are already painted, GPC will <br />match the existing color or a color that best matched, the color of the tree. <br />- Wmdaws <br />GPC will refer window graffiti to Code Enforcement. If the City were to change its policy <br />regarding window graffiti removal, GPC would clean with a chemical remover and then squeegee <br />off any residue. <br />-Upper Level <br />Tech will obtain permission from property owner to complete the work. When possible, GPC will <br />obtain access either by ladder or roof door/hatch. GPC has 24/7 access to a boom truck and <br />scissor lift when required. GPC will remove the graffiti by methods discussed above. <br />
