This is a technical specification document from the City of Columbus, Ohio, Department of Public Service, Division of Design and Construction, establishing steel plate requirements for pavement and utility cut repairs. The document outlines two primary product specifications: a 1" thick by 48" by 96" street plate manufactured from domestic steel with a lifting bung installed and centered for balance, and an excavation cover plate measuring 0.5" thick by 60" by 24" also made from domestic steel without lifting bungs. Both plates require laser etching of the owner's name and 24-hour emergency contact phone number with letters and numbers at least 3 inches in height. The specification references Standard Drawing 1441, dated December 1, 2014, Sheet 6 of 7, and includes detailed requirements for steel plate dimensions based on excavation size, ranging from 4'x4' requiring 1/2" thickness to larger plates requiring 1" thickness, with 12-inch minimum overlaps required on all sides from the excavation edge.

Additional requirements specified in the technical document prohibit the use of steel pins and mandate that all steel plates display etched owner information and emergency contact details legibly on their top surfaces. The document references Sheet 7 for signing requirements and notes that cold mix repairs for pavement cuts require approval from the Division of Planning and Operations. The specification applies to the City of Columbus street plate procurement, designated as item 6005-SMOC, and establishes minimum standards for excavation protection equipment used in the city's infrastructure maintenance and repair operations.
