Attachment 6 Traffic Control - ON CALL PAVEMENT MARKINGS SPARTANBURG

This is a traffic control specification document for the City of Spartanburg, South Carolina's on-call pavement markings contract. The document establishes technical requirements and standards for pavement marking materials, application methods, and quality assurance procedures. Key specifications include requirements for retroreflective pavement markings, thermoplastic materials, paint application standards, and line widths for various road markings. The document details material performance standards, including durability requirements, retroreflectivity minimums measured in candela per lux per square meter (cd/lux/m²), and weather resistance specifications. Application requirements address surface preparation, temperature conditions during application, curing times, and inspection protocols. The specification covers standard markings for centerlines, edge lines, stop lines, and other regulatory markings, with provisions for both new applications and removal of existing markings.

The specification establishes quality control measures requiring contractors to perform material testing, verify retroreflectivity levels post-installation, and maintain documentation of all applications. Pricing terms and payment methodologies are tied to linear feet of markings applied or square footage of painted surfaces, depending on the marking type. The document includes provisions for acceptable material substitutions subject to prior approval and cost comparisons. Performance standards mandate that installed markings remain visible and meet retroreflectivity requirements for specified periods, with provisions for warranty and remedial work if performance standards are not met. All work must comply with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards and South Carolina Department of Transportation specifications for consistency across municipal pavement marking projects.
