S-973-PULL-BOX-STREET-LIGHT-AND-TRAFFIC-SIGNAL.pdf

This is a technical specification document prepared by the City of Pasadena, Department of Public Works, detailing standards for pull boxes, street lights, and traffic signals related to an ADA push buttons upgrades procurement project. The document outlines comprehensive specifications for underground electrical infrastructure components, including pull box materials, dimensions, and installation requirements; street lighting fixtures and mounting specifications; and traffic signal equipment standards. The specifications address pull box construction using concrete or polymer materials with specific load ratings, dimensions ranging from small to large sizes depending on application, and requirements for covers, frames, and internal configurations. Street light specifications include fixture types, mounting heights, arm lengths, and photometric requirements for various residential and commercial applications. Traffic signal specifications cover signal heads, controller cabinets, signal timing equipment, and associated hardware. The document serves as a blueprint for vendors and contractors to ensure all materials and installations comply with municipal standards, ADA requirements, and industry best practices for pedestrian safety and accessibility.

The specifications emphasize compliance with ADA accessibility standards throughout all components, particularly regarding push button height, activation force, and tactile feedback for pedestrian signal equipment. Materials must meet or exceed industry standards for durability, weather resistance, and electrical safety. The document includes detailed drawings, dimensional references, and performance requirements to ensure consistency across the City of Pasadena's traffic signal and street lighting infrastructure. Bidders must provide materials that conform exactly to these specifications or request formal approval for equivalent alternatives prior to submission.
