Painting scope matrix
Responsible Trade is stated only where supported by the documents. † Coat-count totals are PaintScope arithmetic from the scheduled sequence; the documents schedule the sequence, not a total. Filter the matrix below — substrates are grouped (wood, metal, gypsum board) without altering the substrate text; filter options come from this report's rows. The matrix is wider than the page — scroll inside the table to reach all twelve columns.

Risks
Document coverage risks
- HIGHAppendix A is listed in the table of contents but is not present in the provided file. Payment terms, general obligations, warranty framework, and bid instructions could not be analyzed.
- HIGHNo drawings. Extents, locations, and designations shown only on drawings cannot be verified from this submission.
- MEDIUMNo addenda were included in the submitted package. PaintScope cannot determine from the provided documents whether addenda were issued separately.
- LOWTOC numbering discrepancy (057500 vs 057000) — document control, may be resolved by addenda.
Technical bid risks
- HIGH Steel and iron are named as painted substrates in the 099123 Summary, but the Interior Painting Schedule contains a coating system for Wood only; gypsum board likewise has none.CONFLICT
- MEDIUM Architectural woodwork must be finished at the fabrication shop with only final touch-up deferred; the field-side boundary between the woodwork supplier and the painting contractor is not stated.NEEDS CLARIFICATION
- LOW Table of contents lists "057500 – Decorative Metal"; the section body is "SECTION 057000 – DECORATIVE METAL." Document-control discrepancy.CONFLICT
Cost-impact items
- Deep-tone colors (10% of surface area) can affect coverage and production; estimator review recommended. The 10% deep-tone requirement itself is verified.099123-3 (PDF 68)
- Additional mockups re-applied at no added cost if preliminary colors are not approved.099123-2 (PDF 67)
- "Match existing stain and finish" (STN-1) — field verification of existing finishes required before pricing.099300-4 (PDF 73)
- Remove/reinstall hardware, covers, plates; protect items impractical to remove.099123-3 (PDF 68); 099300-3 (PDF 72)
- Mockup approval cycle precedes production work; Exhibit Designer selects surfaces.099123-1/2 (PDF 66–67)
Cost-impact items are flags for the estimator's own review — never a dollar figure, hour, or quantity.
RFIs
Suggested RFIs, as generated from the analysis. In the product these will be editable — copy, revise, mark resolved, add notes — tied to the finding each one came from. This preview is static, so they are shown read-only.
- RFI 1Steel/iron substrates are named in the 099123 Summary but have no scheduled system — is painting of ferrous items in this scope, and under which system? (099123-1 vs 099123-4)Suggested
- RFI 2Who finishes architectural woodwork installed on site — the woodwork supplier (shop finish per 064023) or the painting contractor — and where does 099123/099300 scope end?Suggested
- RFI 3Please provide Appendix A (AIA A101-2007, AIA A201-2007, AIA A701-2018) and confirm whether any addenda were issued; if so, please provide them.Suggested
- RFI 4Please provide drawings; numerous requirements are stated only "as indicated."Suggested
- RFI 5Is any exterior painting/finishing in scope? (099300 exterior-wood moisture clause — possible boilerplate.)Suggested
- RFI 6What painting workmanship warranty term applies?Suggested
