shall be grounded in accordance with the provisions in the Code. Where an approximate service point is shown on the Plans, installation an d materials for the connection between the actual service point, as established by the serving utility, and the nearest pull box of the electrical system shown on the Plans, shall be paid for by the Contractor. Where a service point is omitted from the P lans, installation and materials for the connection between the service point, as established by the serving utility, and the nearest pull box of the electrical system shown on the Plans, shall be paid per section 109.4 and 104.3. Upon request of the Con tractor, the Engineer will arrange with the serving utility to complete the service connections and the Contractor shall pay all costs and fees required. Upon request of the Contractor, the Engineer will arrange for furnishing electrical energy. Energy used prior to the completion of the contract will be charged to the Contractor, except that the cost of energy used for the public benefit, when such operation is ordered by the Engineer, will be borne by the Division. When the power service is within a roadway lighting system, it shall be necessary only to provide the connections as shown on the Plans.
659.3.9 -Field Tests: Prior to the completion of the work, the Contractor shall cause the following tests to be made on all lighting circuits, in the p resence of the Engineer.
ii. Each circuit shall be tested for unspecified grounds. iii. A megger test shall be made on each circuit between the circuit and the ground. The insulation resistance shall not be less than th e values specified in the provisions of the Code. iv. A functional test shall be made in which it is demonstrated that each and every part of the system functions as specified or intended.
After the installation is completed, the Contractor shall conduct a continuous 24 -hour operating test for approval. In addition, final acceptance of an installation will not occur until 30 days of operation termed satisfactory by the Engineer. During the 30 days of operation, the Contractor shall be responsibl e for repairing or replacing any defective equipment within 24 hours after being notified by the Engineer. After any malfunctioning equipment has been repaired or replaced, the 30 -day test shall begin anew. Where the sign lighting installation is a part of, and connected to, a roadway lighting installation, the functional test shall be the same as the functional test for the roadway lighting system.
659.3.10 -Ballasts and Isolating Transformers: Splices at ballasts and transformers shall conform to th e Code. Where more than one conductor enters a ballast or transformer sleeve, the insulation and taping shall be applied between the conductors in such a manner as to provide a watertight joint. The splice installation shall be capable of satisfactory op eration under continuous submersion in water.
659.4 -METHOD OF MEASUREMENT : Measurement for payment for sign lighting will be based on each individual lighting system (normally one per overhead sign structure) complete in place, which will include power service, service poles, meter bases, switch box, pole mounted enclosure, transformers, photoelectric controls, disconnects, junction boxes, cable, conduit, luminaires, lamps, ballasts, impact -proof
628 shields and any other accessories or hardware as required to make a complete installation as called for on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer.
659.5 -BASIS OF PAYMENT : The quantity, determined as provided above, shall be paid for at the contract price for each installation for the item listed below, which price and payment shall be full compensation for furnishing all the materials and doing all the work prescribed in a workmanlike and acceptable manner. This price shall include all compensation for fabrication, delivery, erection and for any additional materials, tools, equipment, incidentals and labor not shown on the Plans or called for which are necessary to complete the installation of the various sys tems and as directed by the Engineer, including any necessary excavating and backfilling, restoring sidewalk, pavement and appurtenances damaged or destroyed during construction, salvaging existing materials and making all required tests.
