About this file
This is a Pavement Markings specification document prepared by Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc. for West Manchester Township in Pennsylvania, applicable to Project No. 7297.0444 (Contract 2026-01: Maintenance & Emergency Contract). The specification establishes requirements for traffic lines, markings, legends, paint, and glass beads applied to pavement surfaces. Products and materials must comply with PennDOT Publication 408 and applicable AASHTO and ASTM standards, with all materials required to be listed in PennDOT Bulletin 15. The specification covers both painted pavement markings and thermoplastic compounds, including asphalt and Portland cement concrete primers, preformed reflectorized tape compliant with ASTM D4505, and raised pavement markers. Application work must be performed by companies with minimum three years' experience, with surface preparation including cleaning, drying, and removal of existing markings prior to application. Manufacturers must have minimum three years' experience in producing specified products. The specification requires submission of product data and certifications, with work to be inspected by the Engineer after pavement spots are placed and prior to applying traffic lines. No pre-bid conference was held for this project, with sealed bids due by 10:00 AM local time on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, submitted online through PennBID.
The specification mandates compliance with West Manchester Township Construction and Materials Specifications Manual and requires adherence to specific ambient conditions, including minimum surface temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit for thermoplastic application and prohibition of application below 50 degrees Fahrenheit within 24 hours. All paint must comply with maximum VOC limits established by State or Environmental Protection Agency standards. Concrete surfaces must cure for 28 days before markings are applied, and final wearing course must be placed and accepted prior to marking application. A short-term traffic control plan must be submitted to the Owner and Engineer at least seven days before commencing work. Quality control includes inspection for incorrect location, insufficient thickness, line width, coverage, retention, and insufficient bonding, with repair or replacement required for non-compliant markings. Protection requirements mandate use of traffic cones to prevent vehicular and pedestrian traffic on freshly applied markings until track-free, with minimum 30 minutes dry time. Bidders must provide bid security of no less than 10 percent in the form of a certified check or bid bond.
