818.03 Installation. The luminaire connections to the aerial cable shall be
made with listed parallel tap insulation piercing connectors. The connector shall be rated for 600 V. When the installation is temporary, upon written request of the Contractor, the Engineer may permit temporary portions of the work to be wired with previously- installed (used) aerial cable of ampacity equivalent to the specified cable and of a type and condition approved by the Engineer. The cable shall be left in place for the duration of the need for temporary wiring. In addition to the wiring of temporary equipment indicated, the Contractor shall furnish and install electric feeders and make necessary equipment modifications to connect the existing system(s) to the temporary system(s). Buck-Boost Transformer(s), when indicated on the plans, shall be of the voltage and KVA indicated (or otherwise as applicable for the circuit), dry type, suitable for outdoor installation.
818.04 Method of Measurement. The aerial cable will be measured in feet
(meters) in place and will be taken as the length of the messenger wire. Measurements will be made in a straight line between changes in direction and to the centers of light standards and control cabinets. Sag of the aerial cable or vertical cable will not be measured for payment. When the Engineer requests the used temporary cable be replaced with new, the new cable will be measured for payment. Used aerial cable will not be measured for payment. The rewiring to facilitate relocation of the cable due to staging or other construction requirements will not be measured for payment.
818.05 Basis of Payment. This work will be paid for at the contract unit price
per foot (meter) for AERIAL CABLE WITH MESSENGER WIRE, of the number and size of conductors specified. Art. 821.01 Roadway Luminaires LUMINAIRES SECTION 821. ROADWAY LUMINAIRES
821.01 Description. This work shall consist of furnishing and installing a
luminaire.
821.02 Materials. Materials shall be according to the following.

821.03 General. Each luminaire shall be installed according to the luminaire
manufacturer’s recommendations. Luminaires which are pole mounted shall be mounted on site such that poles and arms are not left unloaded. Pole mounted luminaires shall be leveled/adjusted after poles are set and vertically aligned before being energized. When mounted on a tenon, care shall be exercised to ensure maximum insertion of the mounting tenon. Each luminaire ballast and/or ballast arrangement shall be checked to ensure compatibility with the project power system. When the luminaire has a multi-tap ballast, the tap shall be adjusted as necessary to ensure a voltage match. When the night-time check of the lighting system by the Engineer indicates that any luminaires are misaligned, the misaligned luminaires shall be corrected at no additional cost. Should the photometric results of the luminaire indicate, in the judgment of the Engineer, a tilt adjustment is warranted, the adjustment shall be made at no additional cost. No luminaire shall be installed before it is approved. Where independent testing is required, full approval will not be given until complete test results, demonstrating compliance with the specifications, have been reviewed and accepted by the Engineer. Pole wiring shall be provided with the luminaire. Included with the pole wiring shall be a surge protection device and fusing located in the handhole. Wire shall be trained within the pole or sign structure so as to avoid abrasion or damage to the insulation. Pole wire shall be extended through the pole, pole grommet, luminaire ring, and any associated arm and tenon. The pole wire shall be terminated in a manner that
