It shall have an adjustable hold time on stationary objects from 0 to 15 minutes. The microwave detector shall be designed to detect moving vehicles at a maximum range of 300 feet (90 m). The microwave detector shall have an ability to accurately discriminate between vehicles arriving and departing. The Contractor shall supply the type of lead-in cable recommended by the manufacturer for his microwave detector.

Construction Requirements. The Contractor shall mount a metal arm to each near right signal post (an arm for a light fixture would be acceptable). The arm shall be reasonably stationary to prevent false calls on the microwave sensor. The final mounting height of the microwave detector shall be 17.5 feet (5.33 m) plus or minus 0.5 feet (0.15 m). The microwave detector shall be horizontally positioned somewhere between the center of the driving lane and 2 feet (600 mm) from the edge of the driving lane. The microwave detector shall be aimed to a 6 feet (1.8 m) height at the stop bar at the center of the driving lane.

The microwave detector voltage shall be the highest allowed by the manufacturer.

At the time of inspection and programming of the controller, one of the Contractor's employees or representatives at the inspection shall be capable of doing all cabinet wiring or controller programming necessary to accomplish the type of operation desired or to modify the cabinet for any unusual conditions.

Detection for the side road and driveway shall consist of a microwave detector. The microwave detector shall be mounted 14 to 18 feet (4.30 m to 5.50 m) high on the near right post for the side road and driveway.

Each approach of a side road and driveway shall be a separate phase.

When the green proceeds from one side of the bridge to the other, the controller shall time a programmable long all red period. Approaches on the same side of the bridge shall be able to cycle between each other without incurring the long all red time but a shorter programmable time.

The Contractor shall supply and install two (one near right; one far left) NO TURN ON RED signs for each sideroad and driveway approach.

The Contractor shall supply and install two (one near right; one far left) STOP HERE ON RED signs for each sideroad and driveway approach to be placed adjacent to the stop bar.

The Contractor shall be required to remove and store or securely cover any conflicting existing signs.

The Contractor shall supply and erect a SIGNAL AHEAD sign for each side road.

The Contractor shall be required to restore all original traffic control when the temporary bridge signals are removed.

Basis of Payment. This work, including the UPS, will be included in the contract unit price each for TEMPORARY BRIDGE TRAFFIC SIGNALS.

(b) Ancillary Materials: Adhesives, Conditioners, Primers, Mastic, Two-Part Liquid Membranes, and Sealing Tapes as required by the manufacturer of the membrane and film for use with the respective membrane waterproofing system.

Construction. The areas requiring waterproofing shall be prepared and the waterproofing shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The Contractor shall not install any part of a membrane waterproofing system in wet conditions, or if the ambient or concrete surface temperature is below 40° (4° C), unless allowed by the Engineer.

Surfaces to be waterproofed shall be smooth and free from projections which might damage the membrane sheet. Projections or depressions on the surface that may cause damage to the membrane shall be removed or filled as directed by the Engineer. The surface shall be power washed and cleaned of dust, dirt, grease, and loose particles, and shall be dry before the waterproofing is applied.

The Contractor shall uniformly apply primer to the entire area to be waterproofed, at the rate stated in the manufacturer’s instructions, by brush, or roller. The Contractor shall brush out primer that tends to puddle in low spots to allow complete drying. The primer shall be cured according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Primed areas shall not stand uncovered overnight. If membrane sheets are not placed over primer within the time recommended by the manufacturer, the Contractor shall recoat the surfaces at no additional cost to the Department.

The membrane sheets shall be overlapped as required by the manufacturer. The Contractor shall seal with mastic any laps that were not thoroughly sealed. The membrane shall be smooth and free of wrinkles and there shall be no depressions in horizontal surfaces of the finished waterproofing. After placement, exposed edges of

Section 125CR-2004 & (124)CR-2519 membrane sheets shall be sealed with a troweled bead of a manufacturer's recommended mastic, or two-part liquid membrane, or with sealing tape.

Sealing bands at joints between precast segments shall be installed prior to the waterproofing system being applied. Where the waterproofing system and sealing band overlap, the installation shall be planned such that water will not be trapped or directed underneath the membrane or sealing band.

Care shall be taken to protect and to prevent damage to the waterproofing system prior to and during backfilling operations. The waterproofing system shall be removed as required for the installation of slab mounted guardrails and other appurtenances. After the installation is complete, the system shall be repaired and sealed against water intrusion according to the manufacturer’s instructions and to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

Replace the last paragraph of Article 540.06 Precast Concrete Box Culverts and replace with:

Handling holes shall be filled with a polyethylene plug. The plug shall not project beyond the inside surface after installation nor project above the outside surface to the extent that may cause damage to the membrane. When metal lifting inserts are used, their sockets shall be filled with mastic or mortar compatible with the membrane.

Method of Measurement. The waterproofing system will be measured in place, in square yards (square meters) of the concrete surface to be waterproofed.

Basis of Payment. This will work will be paid for at the contract unit price, per square yard (square meter) for MEMBRANE WATERPROOFING SYSTEM FOR BURIED STRUCTURES.
