1. DISCONNECT AND REMOVE EXISTING LIGHT POLES. CONTRACTOR SHALL COORDINATE WITH VA TO SALVAGE EXISTING LUMINAIRE.

CONTRACTOR SHALL SAW CUT CONDUIT BELOW GRADE, AND PROVIDE AND INSTALL NEW TRAFFIC RATED HANDHOLE AT THE FIXTURE LOCATION. CONTRACTOR SHALL THEN EXTEND NEW CONDUIT AND WIRES TO NEW FIXTURE LOCATION AS PER NEW WORK PLAN.

COORDINATE WITH VA TO PROPERLY STORE LUMINAIRE AND LIGHT POLES. CONTRACTOR SHALL VRIFY THAT THIS WORK WILL NOT IMPACT OTHER LIGHTS ON THE EXISTING/SAME CIRCUIT. EXISTING CIRCUIT SHALL REMAIN IN SERVICE.

2. ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR SHALL CIRCUIT TRACE EXISTING POWER TO EXISTING LIGHT POLE. COORDINATE WITH GC AND CIVIL FOR

PATHCING/REPAIR OF PAVEMENT AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

3. GUARD SHACK BEING REMOVED. EXISTING OVERHEAD POWER FEED SHALL BE REMOVED. THIS INCLIDES REMOVAL OF THE POWER POLE ITSELF. REMOVE WIRE BACK TO ADJACENT BUILDING. REMOVE WEATHERHEAD AND CUT MAST ABOVE ROOF. CAP AND SEAL
