2008 Wooden Sign Post Order Book1 (2)(1).xls

This is a 2008 wooden sign post order book for the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT), detailing procurement requirements across five regional sign shop locations in Maine. The order specifies ten line items of wood sign posts in various dimensions, ranging from 4"x4"x14' to 6"x6"x20', with a total quantity of 2,347 posts distributed across the following MDOT facilities: Scarborough (REG 1), Augusta (REG 2), Dixfield (REG 3), Bangor (REG 4), and Caribou (REG 5). Regional distribution quantities vary, with Augusta requiring the largest allocation of 795 posts for the 4"x6"x14' size and smaller quantities specified for each location based on operational needs. The document does not specify response dates, due dates, site visits, bidder meetings, award dates, or contract terms.

Wood sign posts must be manufactured from rectangular, straight, and sound timber cut from live native spruce, hemlock, cedar, or Douglas Fir trees, free from loose knots and structural defects such as shake, holes, or heart rot. Posts shall be sawn true and planed on all four sides with dimensional tolerances of one inch in length and one-quarter inch in width or thickness. Specific breakaway requirements are detailed for 4"x6" posts and 6"x6" posts, requiring two holes drilled perpendicular to traffic at specified heights to meet safety standards. When pressure-treated wood is required, specifications call for Yellow Pine Number 2 or better treated with .40 CCA, D4 S, meeting AWPA Standard P-5 or Federal Standard TT-W-550. The document does not include pricing information, set-asides, incumbent contractor details, or funding sources.
