3.3 Removal . Remove roadway illumination assembly components in conformance with established industry and
utility safety practices. Remove transformer bases from transformer base poles. Destroy removed transformer bases to prevent reuse. Remove luminaires and luminaire arms from the pole shaft. Stockpile pole shafts, luminaire arms, and assembly hardware at a location designated by the Department. Pole shafts, luminaire arms, and assembly hardware will remain Department property unless otherwise shown on the plans or directed. 849 Disconnect and remove conductors from abandoned circuits. Remove abandoned conduit and ducts to a point 6 in. below final grade. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, remove abandoned concrete foundations, including steel, to a point 2 ft. below final grade. Backfill the hole with material that is equal in composition and density to the surrounding area. Replace surfacing material with similar material to an equivalent condition. Do not remove existing concrete bridge lighting brackets. Accept ownership and dispose of unsalvageable materials in conformance with federal, state, and local regulations.
