709.01 Description.
The work under this Section shall cover furnishing and erection of mile {kilometer} post assemblies in accordance with the details shown on the plans and the following specifications. The mile {kilometer} post, consisting of a mile {kilometer} marker mounted on a suitable post, shall be classified under one of the following types: Type A: Consists of a single post with one mile {kilometer} marker mounted on the post with the marker facing the oncoming traffic. Type B: Consists of a single post with two mile {kilometer} markers mounted back to back on the post so as to be seen by traffic in each direction.
709.02 Materials.
In general, the mile {kilometer} posts will be established for the Federal and State Highways beginning at the south or west State Line, or at junctions where routes begin. The mile {kilometer} posts will then proceed continuously north and east along the routes through the State.
709.02 Materials.
Materials furnished for use under this Sec tion shall comply with the requirements of Article 710.02, the detailed plans and the following: • Sign panels shall be limited to aluminum with reflective sheeting. • Posts shall be of the type designated on the plans. If the plans offer a choice and once this choice is made and erection begun, the Contractor will not be permitted to change to another type without written permission of the Engineer. Reset units shall utilize existing material insofar as possible. Any replacement parts necessary shall comply wi th the requirements specified above in this Article.
709.03 Construction Details.
Construction details shall be as follows: All signs shall be erected and supported in accordance with these specifications and as shown on the plans. Horizontal edges of sign s shall be level and faces of signs shall be vertical. The Engineer will mark the location and designate the numerical number for each mile {kilometer} post. If man -made obstructions are encountered at the measured marker location (such as underground obstructions), the Engineer may direct one of the following:
1.Shifting of the mile {kilometer} post location not to exceed 50 feet {10 m} either forward or backward to a more suitable location.
2.If underground obstructions occur which cannot be by -passed by the method noted next above, the Engineer may order the deletion of the mile {kilometer} post from the contract. However, regardless of which of the two methods noted above are used, no more than one marker may be omitted and the succeeding mile {kilometer} post shall be located, based on the established mile {kilometer} post location and not on any adjusted location. If current construction in progress is at such a stage to warrant delaying installation, the Engineer may direct the delivery of th e complete mile {kilometer} post assembly to the District Engineer's office. Under this condition, payment for the mile {kilometer} posts will be made in accordance with the provisions of Subarticle 109.06(b) of the Standard Specifications. As soon as the work begins, it shall be prosecuted continuously until the work is complete. Positioning of the mile {kilometer} post relative to the pavement or shoulder edge shall be as shown on the plans. After installation of the posts and checking for position (horiz ontal and vertical), the sign faces shall be secured to the posts in the manner provided by the plans. No sign posts shall be left standing without a sign face after daylight hours unless warning markers, reflectors, etc., are provided to warn the travelin g public. In the same manner, no holes or other hazardous condition shall be left without proper warning markers and delineation. The Contractor shall be responsible for any damage done to the signs or posts which occur from any cause prior to acceptance a s mentioned in Article 709.05. Signs and posts are to be stored under cover and protected from the weather and other damage until they are erected. Mile {kilometer} post assemblies designated to be reset shall be carefully removed and reinstalled at the de signated new location. Removal methods will, in general, be at the option of the Contractor provided such does not damage the assembly. Any damage caused by the Contractor's operation or on account of carelessness negligence, loss of materials or failure t o conduct the work properly shall require replacement in kind at no additional cost. Reinstallation shall be in the same manner as for new installation as noted above in this Article.
709.04 Public Convenience and Safety.
The Contractor's attention is directed to Article 107.07 and the following: No highway will be closed to traffic for the purpose of erecting mile {kilometer} posts. The Contractor will be required, without extra compensation, to provide adequate and acceptable warning signs, temporary guid e markers and/or flagmen for directing traffic during working hours. All of the above shall be in accordance with Part VI of the current MUTCD. Traffic may be shifted to one 12 foot {3.6 m} lane, allowing the Contractor temporary use of one 12 foot {3.6 m} lane for the loading and unloading of materials. No loading or unloading of any kind will
710.01 Des cription.
be permitted along the lane or lanes designated for highway traffic, nor will equipment be allowed to traverse roadways or lanes against normal traffic flow. In addi tion, should the Contractor's equipment damage the shoulders, ditches, slopes or pavement during the performance of this work, he shall restore said areas to the original condition without cost to the State.
709.05 Acceptance of Contracts for Mile {Kilometer} Posts Only.
As soon as the installation of all mile {kilometer} posts on a route to be marked has been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications and to the satisfaction of the Engineer, the Engineer may make final acceptance of such wor k. After final acceptance of the mile {kilometer} posts on a particular route has been made, the Contractor will be relieved of any further maintenance of the mile {kilometer} posts for that particular route. Final acceptance of the entire contract will be made as soon as all work required by the contract has been completed and accepted.
709.06 Method of Measurement.
The measurement of Mile {Kilometer} Posts will be made for the actual number of complete mile {kilometer} post assemblies of each designated t ype, installed complete in place. The measurement of Mile {Kilometer} Posts Reset will be made for the actual number of complete mile {kilometer} post assemblies, regardless of type, removed and reinstalled, complete in place.
709.07 Basis of Payment.
a.Unit Price Coverage . The accepted Mile {Kilometer} Posts, furnished as directed and measured as noted above, will be paid for at the respective contract unit price bid for each of the items of the contract, which shall be full compensation for the furnishi ng and processing of all materials, fabrication, erection and assembling or assembly and delivery to the designated location, transportation, including excavation, backfilling and incidentals necessary to complete the work.
