c.Fasteners and Hardware ................................................................... 1088.03 CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
844.03 Lighting Unit. Lighting units shall be removed and reinstalled as
follows.
a.Removal. The existing lighting unit shall be disconnected and removed from the existing foundation by removing the anchor rod nuts and lifting the lighting unit from the foundation. Any damage sustained to the lighting unit during removal operations shall be repaired, or replaced in kind, to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
b.Reinstallation. The lighting unit shall be installed immediately on the proposed foundation. The electric cables shall be connected to power supply cables so the reinstalled lighting unit becomes operational the same evening without interruption. Temporary wiring will be permitted at the discretion of the Engineer. When a conduit or duct extension is required, the conduit and/or duct may be spliced and a new span of cable shall be installed. The Engineer will inspect all conduit and/or duct splices before backfilling. The existing pole wire shall be preserved and reconnected to the proposed underground wiring. The space between the finished top of the foundation and the base plate of the pole shall be enclosed to prevent the entry of rodents in a manner approved by the Engineer. The anchor rod cover and handhole covers of the lighting unit shall be removed and reinstalled. If during removal, the screws holding the cover Art. 844.03 Relocate Lighting Units break, a hole in the pole base shalI be drilled and threaded to accept a new screw. The screws shall be 1/4 in. (6 mm) 20 stainless steel. The mast arm and/or luminaire may be removed and reinstalled as a unit, at the option of the Contractor, with the approval of the Engineer. No additional compensation will be paid for these operations. Luminaire Circuit Identification. Each lighting unit which is to be relocated under this item shall be checked during the preconstruction inspection for complete circuit identification. Any damage to the identification occurring prior to final acceptance shall then be repaired or replaced under this item, in conformance with the specifications, at no additional cost to the Department. The existing circuit identification and the identification shown on the plans shall be compared and where the existing identification must be changed to conform with the plans, the removal and replacement of identification shall be included in this item.
844.04 Light Towers. This work shall be according to Article 844.03 and the
following. The space between the finished top of the foundation and the bottom of the base plate of the tower shall be enclosed with a metal screen according to Article 733.08. The screen shall be carefully positioned to eliminate small gaps that could allow the entry of rodents. Grouting shall not be used to enclose the above described space. The light tower shall be straight and centered according to Article 835.04.
844.05 Wood Poles. Wood pole removal, reinstallation, and luminaire circuit
identification shall be as follows.
a.Removal and Reinstallation. The temporary lighting unit shall be installed immediately at the new location. The electric cables shall be connected to power supply cables so the reinstalled temporary light unit becomes operational the same evening without interruption. If the existing electric cables are not of sufficient length to make the new connection, a new continuous span of electric cables, of equal or better quality, shall be installed at no additional cost. Any damage sustained to the temporary light unit during removal operations shall be repaired, or replaced in kind, to the satisfaction of the Engineer. When a temporary lighting unit or pole is not in conflict with the proposed construction, but is in conflict with the Contractor’s proposed sequence of operations, or the relocation is for the Contractor’s convenience, relocation of said temporary lighting unit will be at the Contractor’s option and expense. The Contractor shall obtain the Engineer’s approval before any pole or unit is relocated. If the Engineer determines a given temporary lighting unit’s pole setting has deteriorated to such an extent that the pole poses a safety hazard, the temporary lighting unit shall be reset in or near the same location. Removal of Lighting Controller Art. 845.05
b.Luminaire Circuit Identification. Each pole which is to be relocated shall be checked during the preconstruction inspection for complete circuit identification and corrected according to Article 1069.06. Any damage to the identification occurring prior to final acceptance shall be repaired or replaced by the Contractor according to the specifications.
844.06 Method of Measurement. Relocation of lighting units, light towers, or
temporary wood poles will be measured for payment as each. If the Engineer determines a given temporary lighting unit’s pole setting has deteriorated to such an extent that the pole poses a safety hazard, the temporary lighting unit will be measured for payment as each. Resetting of the pole will not be paid for if the pole setting has been weakened by construction operations.
844.07 Basis of Payment. This work will be paid for at the contract unit price
per each for RELOCATE EXISTING LIGHTING UNIT, of the type specified; RELOCATE EXISTING LIGHT TOWER; or RELOCATE EXISTING WOOD POLES. SECTION 845. REMOVAL OF LIGHTING CONTROLLER
845.01 Description. This work shall consist of the removal and disposal of
existing electric service installation, lighting controller, and associated foundations. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
845.02 General. No removal work shall be permitted without approval from
the Engineer. Abandoned underground electric cables shall be removed with conduit and duct to a depth of 1 ft (300 mm) below ground level and the hole backfilled.
