This is a scope of work document for the City of Pittsburgh Department of Mobility & Infrastructure detailing Item 9000-0008, the removal of existing signal poles as part of the broader Beechwood/Linden/Wilkins and Brownsville/Maytide/Sankey traffic signal replacements project. The work encompasses the removal of existing steel pole supports along with excavation and backfill of pole foundations. Contractors must await City of Pittsburgh direction before removing any poles or foundations, carefully execute removal to prevent damage to surrounding areas, excavate foundations to a minimum of 2 feet below subgrade elevation, backfill with flowable concrete material Type D, and finish by placing sidewalk material matching the surrounding surface in material and color. All pole materials become the contractor's responsibility for disposal.
