LINEAR DELINEATOR PANELS, 6 INCH

(Effective April 28, 2017)

Description. Linear delineator panels shall be placed on each parapet wall 6 inches down from the top. Panels shall also be placed on structures containing bridge rail as directed by the Engineer.

Section (101,102)RS-4 & (102)RS--2

These panels shall be either white or yellow, matching the color of the adjacent pavement marking edge line. They should be spaced at a minimum of 80 foot centers horizontally, with the first and last panel located within 20 feet of the parapet wall ends. Structures that contain existing linear delineator panels shall have any damaged or missing panels removed and replaced as directed by the Engineer.

When attaching linear delineator panels to concrete, the panels shall be secured using an anchor bolt method approved by the Engineer that will anchor the entire panel securely but also facilitate removal of the panel by maintenance operations if damaged or weathered in the future. The Contractor shall also sufficiently cover the back side of the linear delineator panel, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, with an adhesive caulking system to aid in the permanent adhesion and alignment of the panels prior to drilling through the pre-drilled linear delineation system holes.

When securing the linear delineator panels to metal bridge rail or any other metal surfaces, the Contractor may use a linear delineation system panel and bracket mounting method approved by the Engineer. The Contractor may also use an adhesive caulking method to sufficiently cover the back side of the linear delineator panel to the satisfaction of the Engineer. The Contractor shall be responsible for testing the durability and strength of the method used to ensure permanent adhesion of the linear delineator panel to the bridge rail. Drilling into metal bridge rail or other metal surfaces to secure the linear delineator panels will not be permitted.

When removing and replacing missing or damaged linear delineator panels, the existing linear delineator panels and any adhesive used to secure the existing linear delineator panels shall be removed to the satisfaction of the Engineer. All cost and labor associated with the removal and cleanup of the existing linear delineator panels shall be included in the unit price of the pay item

LINEAR DELINEATOR PANELS, 6 INCH.

Each panel shall not be less than 34 inches in length and 6.00 inches in width. The panels shall be constructed of cube-corner retroreflective material in standard highway colors permanently bonded to an aluminum substrate. The lateral edges of each panel shall be hemmed. The panel assembly shall have a repeating raised lateral ridge every 2.25 inches. Each ridge shall be 0.34 inches high with a 45° profile and a 0.28 inch radius top.

Daytime color requirements shall be determined from measurement of the retroreflective sheeting applied to aluminum test panels. Daytime color shall be measured instrumentally using a spectrophotometer employing annular 45/0 (or equivalent 0/45) illuminating and viewing geometry. Measurements shall be made in accordance with ASTM E1164 for ordinary colors or ASTM E2153 for fluorescent colors. Chromaticity coordinates shall be calculated for CIE Illuminant D65 and the CIE 1931 (2o) Standard Colorimetric Observer in accordance with ASTM E308 for ordinary colors or ASTM E2152 for fluorescent colors.

Inspection of Linear Delineator Panels. The linear delineator panels installed under this contract will be inspected following installation, but no later than December 30th. In addition, they will be inspected following a winter performance period that extends 180 days from December 30th.

Within 15 calendar days after the end of the winter performance period, a final performance inspection will be made. If this inspection discloses any work which is not visibly intact and serviceable, the Contractor shall, within 30 calendar days, completely repair or replace such work to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

Measured in its entirety, the work shall be 97 percent intact.

Upon completion of the final performance inspection, or after satisfactory completion of any necessary corrections, the Engineer shall notify the Contractor in writing of the date of such final performance inspection and release him/her from further performance responsibility.

This delay in performance inspection and performance acceptance of the linear delineator panels shall not delay acceptance of the entire project and final payment due if the contractor requires and receives from the subcontractor a third party “performance” bond naming the Department as obligee in the full amount of all linear delineator panels listed in the contract, multiplied by the contract unit price. The bond shall be executed prior to acceptance and final payment of the non-linear delineator panel items and shall be in full force and effect until final performance inspection and performance acceptance of the linear delineator panels. Execution of the third-party bond shall be the option of the Contractor.

Basis of Payment. This work, including all materials, equipment, and labor necessary to complete the work as described will be paid for at the contract unit price per each for LINEAR DELINEATOR
