The Contractor shall avoid damaging existing equipment and materials that are to remain in place while removing traffic signal equipment.

When a gap or opening remains on an existing-to-rema in pole after the removal of traffic signal equipment, the Contractor shall cover such openings using a knockout seal or other appropriate 9−93material in order to provide a secure closure of the opening to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
