material that might interfere with the bond to the existing surface at the time of application, as recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaning and marking removal operations shall be conducted such that the finished pavement surface is not damaged or left in a pattern that will mislead or misdirect motorists . The Contractor shall be responsible for removal and repair of any associated damage at no additional cost to the Agency. Minor abrasions, as determined by the Engineer, resulting from cleaning and removal operations will not be considered damage. The Co ntractor shall control and minimize airborne dust and similar debris generated by surface preparation and cleanup to prevent a hazard to motor vehicle operation or nuisance to adjacent property.

determine if conditions are suitable for the placement of markings. The Engineer will check the pavement for cleanliness, moisture content, and temperature , and will check ambient air conditions. The Eng ineer will make the final determination as to the suitability of project conditions for the application of pavement markings. Where required, the Contractor shall clean the surface to be marked to the satisfaction of the Engineer to provide for an acceptable bond between the marking and the pavement or surface. Weather conditions must be sufficient to allow the placement and curing of the pavement marking material without violating the manufacturer’s requirements. All markings shall be applied in a neat and professional manner. The lines shall be sharp and clear with no feathered edging or fogging, and precautions shall be taken to prevent tracking by tires of the marking equipment. Adequate quantities of the material shall be applied to ensure constant thickness of marking material. Glass beads shall be delivered at a velocity that is at least 60% of ground speed for the application device. Markings shall be applied parallel to the roadway centerline or as shown on the Plans with no unsightly deviations. After application, markings shall be protected from crossing vehicles for a time at least equivalent to the drying time of the marking material used, according to manufacturer’s recommendations. Markings shall be protected from the moment of application until they are sufficiently dry to bear traffic without damage to the marking, tracking, or adhering to vehicle tires.

646

6-176Any pavement marking materials spilled or tracked on the roadway surfaces shall be removed by

the Contractor to the satisfaction of the Eng ineer and at no additional cost to the Agency. The method of removal shall be acceptable to the Engineer and not injurious to the roadway or other surfaces. All temporary pavement markings, including line striping targets when used, shall be applied so that at the end of each working day, all centerlines, edge -line, island markings, gore markings, lane lines, special markings, etc. are in place on all paved surfaces where traffic will be maintained. During paving and milling, work shall be scheduled so that the pavement markings are complete immediately after the paving and milling operations cease for the day. When line striping targets (LSTs) are not shown on the Plans but are used as a short -term substitute for other temporary pavement markings, they sha ll be placed as directed by the Engineer and will be paid for as the equivalent quantity of temporary pavement marking for which the LSTs are substituted. However, if the Engineer determines it is necessary to replace those temporary LSTs with either more LSTs or the actual temporary pavement markings designated for that particular location, no further payment for the temporary pavement markings at that location will be made. At all times, the Contractor shall have on hand on the project all necessary materials, equipment, and labor to place any and all necessary interim pavement markings, including temporary line striping targets, required by the Plans or as directed by the En gineer. The markings shall be paid for under the appropriate Contract items. With the exception of colored pavement markings as described in Subsection 646.13 and centerline markings in areas where centerline rumble strips are installed and fog sealed, permanent markings shall be placed within 14 calendar days of paving the wearing surface . Temporary pavement markings shall be removed concurrent with the placement of permanent pavement markings. Failure on the part of the Contractor to comply with the provisions of this part of the specifications may be grounds for suspension of biweekly estimate payments for the Contract in accordance with Subsection 105.01(b) , until the required work is performed to the satis faction of the Engineer.

be applied under suitable environmental conditions, paint may be applied for durable marking of the types

indicated on the Plans where appropriate and as directed by the Engineer.

Regardless of the circumstance under which paint is applied after an unsuitable environmental conditions

determination, durable markings of the types indicated on the Plans shall be applied as soon as suitable

environmental conditions permit during the following spring. These durable markings shall be measured

submitted products within the 30 calendar day period. The Contractor should be prepared to place

approved markings on the proper date, even if the submittal is disapproved.

646.17REMOVAL OF EXISTING PAVEMENT MARKINGS. Existing markings shall be obliterated

in such a manner and by such means that a minimum of pavement scars are left and all the existing

markings are removed, for example by grinding a square or rectangle on the pavement to remove a letter

or arrow, or grinding a large rectangle to remove a word so that the outline of the letter, symbol, or word

is not ground into the pavement and therefore still legible even though the marking has been removed.

Painting over existing markings is not an acceptable method of removal.

The work shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Masking of lines in intermediate duration

activities shall be completed according to the Plans or as directed by the Engineer.
