V. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

a. Manufacturer Provided Design Please note: The attached construction diagram is to provide an idea of the desired location for the flagpole, and an onsite visit is necessary to ensure a clear understanding of the necessary equipment, labor, and materials required for the installation in that location.

b. Flagpole specifications and performance requirements Flagpole will have an exposed height of twenty (20) feet and flag will be illuminated during the hours of darkness by three (3) lights with twelve (12) Bright White LEDs each and powered by solar panel with a minimum wattage of fifteen watts (15W.).

· The flagpole shall be a ground-set Aluminum Flagpole:

· Entasis tapered flagpoles fabricated from seamless extruded tubing complying with ASTM B241/B241M, Alloy 6063, with a minimum wall thickness of 3/16 inch (4.8 mm).

· Exposed Height: 20 feet (6.1 m).

· Aluminum Flagpoles: Entasis-tapered flagpoles fabricated from seamless extruded tubing complying with ASTM B241/B241M, Alloy 6063, with a minimum wall thickness of 3/16 inch (4.8 mm).

· Metal Foundation Tube: Manufacturer's standard corrugated-steel foundation tube, 0.060-inch (1.52-mm) wall thickness with 3/16-inch (4.8-mm) steel bottom plate and support plate; 3/4-inch- (19-mm-) diameter, steel ground spike; and steel centering wedges welded together. Galvanize foundation tube after assembly.

· Flashing Collar: Same material and finish as flagpole.

· Battery: 12,000 mAh Rechargeable

· Run time 10-12 hours on full charge

· Lights: Three with 12 Bright White LEDS each.

· Minimum Solar Panel Wattage :15W

· Structural Performance: Flagpole assemblies, including anchorages and supports, to withstand design loads indicated within limits and under conditions indicated.

· Wind Loads: Determine according to NAAMM FP 1001. Basic wind speed for Project location is 90 mph per NAAAMMFP1001.
