This is a Project Manual prepared for the Port of Tacoma in Washington, detailing a Wooden Light Pole Replacement Program scheduled for 2026. The project involves the demolition and replacement of 46 deteriorated timber poles located across 7 different sites within the Port of Tacoma. The work scope requires replacing the poles in-kind to restore their operational condition and address structural deterioration.

The manual establishes the technical specifications, work standards, and procedural requirements that contractors must follow during the demolition and replacement phases. It provides detailed information regarding pole specifications, installation procedures, site conditions, and quality assurance measures to ensure the replaced poles meet Port of Tacoma operational standards. The document functions as the comprehensive reference for all bidding contractors and will serve as the contractual basis for the selected contractor's performance throughout the project duration.
