Requirements:
The fusee/flare shall consist of a tube of suitable material containing flare composition together with a suitable means of ignition by friction. The fuse/flare should be approximately 11 to 12 inches in length with a plastic protective cap with striker on the inside. The surface of the striker should be treated with red phosphorus and covered with a plastic striker cap for safety reasons.
The ignition head of the fusee/flare should fasten to the fusee/flare in such a way that it can tolerate the friction from the scratching surface contained in the striker cap and will not break off when struck.
The fusee/flare should be able to burn for a minimum of twenty (20) minutes. The ignition compound should be impervious to water and be able to function in wet, inclement weather. These fusees/flares are placed upon the roadway during all conditions, including rain and snow.
The fusee/flare should be a self-contained unit. It should have a wire stand connected to the body of the fusee/flare which allows the fusee/flare to be placed on the pavement without touching it. This stand should be part of the fuse/flare and be made of flexible wire. The wire should be easy enough to bend by hand, but strong enough to keep the fusee/flare off of the pavement. It should have no sharp edges and present no dangers to the motoring public if it is accidently left on the pavement.
The fusee/flare should contain no Potassium Perchlorate or other known environmental contaminants.
Total number of individual fusees/flares shall be 40,320. Pricing is based on cost per flare and is all inclusive which means the unit cost shall also include shipping. Each Case should contain a minimum of 36 flares and not to exceed 72 flares. The number of cases and units per case may vary. It should be shipped in a carton with a plastic bag to prevent moisture from accumulating.
