Mast arm supports Types A1L, A2L and B1L shall be identical to Types A1, A2 and B1 described above, except for the upright pole which shall be lengthened and provided with one or more street lighting lumin aire arms as called for on the Plans. The upright pole length shall be governed by the mounting height specified for the luminaire and the rise provided in the luminaire arm. The luminaire arm, unless otherwise noted, shall be as similar as possible in st yle to that shown on the standard drawing and shall have the spread noted on the Plans. All upright poles and all mast arms shall be made of one continuous piece, cylindrical in cross section, and they shall be uniformly tapered from butt to tip approxima tely one (1) inch in diameter for each seven linear feet in length (0.14 in ch per foot). The shaft length and diameter of the upright pole and mast arm shall be as described on the Plans.

715.42.9 1.2-Mast Arm: All mast arms shall include a removable e nd cap, grommeted

wire outlets, signal hanger assemblies of the type and quantity shown on the Plans, and a flange plate welded to the butt end to provide a rigid connection to the upright pole. The rigid connection to the upright pole shall be constructe d so that it develops and transfers the full strength of the mast arm to the upright pole. The flange plate shall have four holes for the flange bolts which shall match the four tapped holes in the mounting plate on the upright pole. The entire assembly shall be constructed so that all wiring can be concealed internally. It shall be as similar, as possible in appearance and construction detail to that shown on the standard drawing. The use of guy rods of any type, or trussed -type arms, will not be permit ted (except when noted for luminaire arms on the Plans). Mast arms shall be connected to the upright pole at a height necessary to provide 17°foot-0°inch clearance under the signals. The mast arm and upright pole shall be constructed so that the mast arm at any point along its length (measured from the flange plate connection), will fall within a tolerance of 0 to 5 percent (0-5%%) of that length, above the true horizontal position, after loading as called for on the Plans. The fabricator must certify to the above and maintain results of computations or tests to document the certification for each type of mast -arm pole supplied. On Types B1 and B1L this requirement will only apply to the outboard end of the mast arm. Any deviations from this requirement due to sizes or loads listed on the Plans shall be brought to the Division's attention for appropriate corrective action prior to fabrication.

715.42.9 1.3-Upright Pole: Each pole shall consist of an upright shaft with a steel

anchor base, a removable pole top, a J -hook wire support welded inside near the top, a handhole with reinforced frame and cover, anchor bolts and nuts, one flange plate assembly to match that welde d to the butt end of each mast arm, and any other accessories or 944 hardware as required to make a complete installation. Flange plates shall have a deburred wiring hole and four tapped holes for flange bolts. The handhole assembly shall be welded into the shaff near the base. The handhole reinforcing frame shall have a tapped hole to accommodate a grounding lug and contain a keeper chain. The keeper chain shall be secured by pop rivets or stainless steel screws. The cover shall be secured to the frame by at least two stainless steel screws. Each pole shall have a one -piece anchor base welded to the butt end. This base shall be designed to secure the pole assembly to a concrete foundation by means of four standard anchor bolts, each fitted with removable anchor bolt covers. All construction details shall be as similar as possible to that shown on the standard drawing.
