The specifications are a minimum for painted traffic striping and raised pavement markers and are used only to denote the quality standards of the product desired and do not restrict bidders to a specific brand, make, manufacturer, or specification named; said specifications are being used only to set forth and convey to prospective bidders the general style, type, character, and quality of the product desired. Equivalent products are acceptable. The painted traffic striping shall meet the following specifications: 1) Materials: Traffic Paint shall be either quick dry alkyd or water-based traffic paint complying with Subsection 1015.12. Glass beads for drop-on application shall comply with Subsection 1015.13. 2) Equipment: Selection of proper equipment to produce satisfactory results within the following requirements shall be the responsibility of the contractor. a) Equipment shall permit traffic to pass safely within the limits of the roadway surface and shoulder while operating b) Equipment shall be designed for placement of both solid and broken line stripes of the spacing shown on the plans with square, neat stripe ends. c) Equipment shall provide a method for cleaning the surface of dust immediately prior placement of striping materials. d) Equipment shall provide a gravity bead dispenser for drop-on application of glass beads. e) The equipment shall provide accurate regulation of the application rate and shall have a tachometer or other approved device to ensure uniform paint application at the designated rate. The equipment shall be adjustable for applying one, two or three adjacent lines simultaneously at the specified spacing and be equipped with a device capable of following a control line. Operation of the unit shall be such that paint will not be spattered or blown on another stripe. The unit shall be designed to properly agitate the paint while in operation. f) The equipment may be equipped with heat exchanger to heat the paint to reduce drying time. g) The operation shall include a trailing vehicle equipped with a flashing arrow board. 3) Construction: Yellow centerline striping shall be used to delineate traffic moving in opposite directions. White lane line striping shall be used to delineate traffic moving in the same direction. These stripings shall be broken lines and solid lines as required by Part 3 of the MUTCD. Edge lines shall be solid lines, the color of which shall be determined from Part 3 of the MUTCD. Pavement striping shall be 4 inches (100 mm) in width on all routes. Striping widths for gore markings and turning lanes shall be eight inches (200 mm) unless noted otherwise in the plans. All lines shall have clean edges with a width tolerance in accordance with Subsection 737.08. The project engineer may waive the tolerance when deviations are caused by undulation in the pavement surface. The raised pavement markers shall meet the following specifications: 1) Description: The contractor shall be responsible for field layout and alignment of raised pavement markers. Existing pavement striping shall generally be used as a guide in determining raised marker locations. The Police Jury will replace obliterated striping prior to installation of raised pavement markers; however, if no striping exists or is obliterated at the time of raised marker installation, the contractor shall determine raised pavement marker locations in accordance with plan details or as directed. 2) Materials: a) Markers: Markers shall comply with 1015.09. Use the same product throughout the project. Markers shall be the specified class, type, color, size, and shape. b) Epoxy Adhesive: Use Type I (Rapid Setting) or Type II (Standard Setting) epoxy resin adhesive system complying with 1017.03. Mix epoxy components and dispense adhesive in accordance with manufacturerOs recommendations. c) Bituminous Adhesive: Bituminous adhesive shall comply with 1015.09.3.2. 3) Construction Requirements: a) Weather Limitations: Do not apply markers when there is moisture on the surface. i. Epoxy Adhesive: When using a standard set adhesive, do not apply markers at ambient air temperatures less than 50!F. When using a rapid set adhesive, application of markers will be permitted at ambient air temperatures between 35!F and 50! F, provided the adhesive is adequately heated to obtain proper viscosity for mixing and application, and is also identified as a rapid set type on container labels and Certificates of Delivery. ii. Bituminous Adhesive: Apply markers when the ambient air temperature reaches 35! F or greater, or in accordance with the manufacturerOs recommendations. b) Removal of Markers: Remove markers by methods that will not damage the pavement surface. Repair damage to pavement surface at no cost to the Police Jury. After removing the markers, the debris and residue shall become the property of the contractor and be disposed of properly. c) Cleaning of Surfaces: Surfaces, including ramps and gore areas, on which markers are to be applied must be cleaned of all materials that may reduce the bond of adhesive. Clean surfaces by blast cleaning or other approved methods which do not damage the surface. Blast cleaning equipment must have positive cutoff controls. Maintain surfaces in a clean dry condition until placement of markers. d) Application of Markers: Place markers with bituminous adhesive on asphalt surfaces. Place markers with Type I or II epoxy resin adhesive, or Type II or III bituminous adhesive on portland cement concrete surfaces. Surfaces on which markers are to be placed shall be blown dry immediately prior to marker placement. Apply markers to surfaces with adhesive in accordance with the manufactures recommendations. Do not place pavement markers on joints. i. Epoxy Adhesive: Mixed adhesive shall have a uniformly grey color with no streaks of either black or white on the surface or within mixed adhesive. Voids in a cured undisturbed sample approximately 1/16 inch thick from the extrusion nozzle shall not exceed 4 percent by volume. Machine mixer and applicator shall be capable of accurately and uniformly proportioning the two components in a 1:1 ratio within 5 percent by volume of each component (i.e., within 47.5 to 52.5 percent for each component). Perform periodic checks of proportioning equipment to determine the actual ratio of components. Do this by placing containers in front of the mixing chamber and measuring the actual volume of each component. Arrange equipment so it is possible to bypass the mixer to perform these periodic checks. Maintain temperature of adhesive between 70!F and 110!F before mixing. Apply adhesive in sufficient quantity to cause excess adhesive to be forced out around the perimeter of the marker. Maintain the temperature to prevent excessive flow of epoxy from the marker when installed. Fill voids in markers with an open grid pattern on bottom with adhesive immediately prior to placement. ii. Bituminous Adhesive: Heat and melt the adhesive in either thermostatically controlled double boiler type units utilizing heat transfer oil or thermostatically controlled electric heating pots. The melter/ applicator unit shall be suited for both melting and pumping application through heated applicator hoses. Heat the adhesive as per manufacturerOs recommendations and apply directly to the pavement surface from the melter/applicator by either pumping or pouring. The area of the bituminous adhesive bed shall be a minimum of 6 inches in diameter. Apply markers to the adhesive within 10 seconds. Place the marker in the adhesive bed by applying downward pressure until the marker is firmly seated. Immediately remove adhesive on exposed surfaces of markers with soft rags moistened with mineral spirits or kerosene. Protect markers against impact until the adhesive hardens. Reheat and reuse the adhesive; however, do not exceed the pot life at application temperatures. WARRANTY All work performed by bidder will be warrantied for a period of one year from the date of invoice.
