Article 3 — Construction
Install foundations in accordance with Item 656.
3.1 Pedestal Pole Base. Ground the base with connectors to the 1/2- 13 NC female threaded hole. Fabricate the
base for four L-bend anchor bolts arranged in a square pattern with a 12- 3/4 in. bolt circle. Provide mild steel anchor bolts in accordance with Item 449 for each base. Provide three 1/16-in. thick and three 1/8- in. thick U - shaped galvanizing steel shims for each base. Size shims to fit around the anchor bolts.
3.2 Installation . Install pedestal pole assemblies and pedestrian push button post assemblies as shown on the
plans, or as directed. Pedestal pole assemblies include foundation, pole shaft, base, anchor bolts, anchor bolt nuts, anchor bolt template, shims, and miscellaneous components. Watertight breakaway electrical disconnects are required for pedestal pole assemblies used in conjunction with vehicle and pedestrian heads and components. Pedestrian push button post assemblies include foundation, pole, and post cap. Use established industry and utility safety practices to erect assemblies near overhead or underground utilities. Consult with the appropriate utility company before beginning such work. Repair damaged galvanizing in accordance with Sect ion 445.3. 4., “Repairs.”
3.3 Relocation . Disconnect and isolate the electrical power supply before removal of the assembly. Remove
existing assembly as directed. Salvage existing components , such as signs, heads, buttons, pole, and base, unless otherwise directed. Repair or replace lost or damaged components as directed. 943 Install foundations in accordance with Item 656. Relocate existing assembly to the location shown on the plans or as directed. Install existing assembly at new foundations in accordance with Section 687.3.2., “Installation.” Remove existing foundations in accordance with Section 687.3.4., “Removal.” Accept ownership of unsalvageable materials, as determined by the Engineer, and dispose of them in conformance with federal, state, and local regulations. Repair galvanizing for any damaged steel part or any steel part welded after galvanizing in accordance with Item 445.
3.4 Removal . Disconnect and isolate electrical power supplies before removal of the assembly. Remove existing
sign panel, beacons, pole, and base from existing assembly. Store items to be reused or salvaged without damaging them. Store sign panels above the ground in a vertical position at locations shown on the plans or as directed. Accept ownership and dispose of unsalvageable materials in conformance with federal, state, and local regulations. Disconnect and remove conductors from abandoned circuits. Remove abandoned conduit and ducts to a point 6 in. below final grade. Destroy existing transformer bases to prevent reuse. Remove abandoned foundations to 2 ft. below the finished grade unless otherwise shown on the plans. Cut off and remove steel protruding from the remaining concrete. Backfill the remaining hole with material equal in composition and density to the surrounding area. Replace any surfacing with like material to equivalent condition.
3.5 Painted Finish. When required, paint pedestal pole and pedestrian push button post assemblies as shown
on the plans.
