About this file
This specification document outlines the requirements for barrier marker delineator posts for the State of Maine's Annual Contract for Delineator Posts and Anchors. The specification, provided by SAFE-HIT of Chicago, Illinois, details a two-piece delineator system consisting of a flexible polyethylene plastic post with reflective sheeting and a thermoplastic base that secures to barriers. The posts must be tubular in shape with a 2.25-inch outer diameter and a 1.75-inch interior reinforcement tube in the lower portion. The upper 14 inches must be flattened to an oval shape measuring at least 3 inches at the major axis and 1 inch at the minor axis, topped with a black cap. The posts must be ultraviolet and infrared resistant, available in colors specified by the user, and equipped with high-intensity reflective sheeting per Federal Highway Specification FP-92, Type III, Class 2 in white or yellow, applied to one or both sides of the flattened area.
The base attachment to barriers can be accomplished through two methods: epoxy bonding or mechanical fastening using internal thread flush anchors with hex bolts and lock washers. Fasteners must be available in stainless steel, galvanized, or zinc-plated configurations. The specification emphasizes that posts must be compatible with existing bases in service and that worn posts can be removed and replaced without replacing the base. Incompatible posts will be rejected. The document indicates that the total above-barrier height of posts will be delivered as required by the contracting jurisdiction, though specific quantities and delivery schedules are not detailed in this specification sheet.

Two methods of fastening the base to the barrier are as follows:
1. The base may be attached to the barrier with a high strength, two component, quick set bonding epoxy.
2. The base may be attached to the barrier with a mechanical system consisting of an in ter nal thread flush anchor, hex bolt, lock and flat washers. The fastener set shall be avail able in stainless steel, galvanized or zinc plated configurations.
