This is a Project Manual for the Port of Tacoma's Wooden Light Pole Replacement Program (2026), detailing the scope of work for replacing deteriorated timber poles and associated infrastructure. The project encompasses the demolition and replacement of 46 timber poles located at 7 different sites within the Port of Tacoma. The work includes select demolition, salvage, and disposal of existing light pole fixtures and hardware; demolition and disposal of existing timber light poles and foundations; removal and reattachment of existing LED fixtures; installation of new light pole foundations and timber poles with concrete and HMA paving; restoration of work areas to preconstruction condition; and reinstallation and commissioning of removed LED light fixtures with associated electrical hardware. The scope additionally covers select demolition and installation of branch and feeder power conductors, raceway, conduit, breakers, and other electrical system components, as well as select demolition and installation of communication hardware with reinstallation of existing communication hardware and miscellaneous attachments. The project includes temporary provisions to maintain security lighting and communication network operation throughout construction.

The project manual establishes the technical and performance requirements for executing the timber pole replacement work in-kind to restore operational condition at all seven Port of Tacoma locations. The document serves as the foundational specification document for bidders to understand the complete scope, technical standards, and work requirements necessary to submit competitive proposals for this infrastructure replacement initiative.
