<br /> <br />02577 - 3/3 <br />marking of specified thickness and width and capable of resisting deformation. <br />E. The portion of the pavement surface or thermoplastic marking to which the marker is <br />attached by the adhesive shall be cleaned of dirt, curing compound, grease, oil, moisture, <br />loose or unsound pavement and any other material which would adversely affect the <br />adhesive. Reflective markers shall be installed in such a manner that the reflective face <br />of the marker is perpendicular to a line parallel to the roadway centerline. No markers <br />shall be installed over longitudinal or transverse joints of the pavement surface. The <br />adhesive shall be spread on the bonding surface (not the marker) so that 100 percent of <br />the bonding area of the marker will be covered. The adhesive application shall be <br />sufficient thickness so that when the marker is pressed into the adhesive, excess <br />adhesive shall be forced out around the entire perimeter of the marker. All excessive <br />adhesive shall be removed from in front of the reflective faces, if any adhesive or foreign <br />matter adheres to the reflective face of the marker, the marker shall be replaced. The <br />ENGINEER shall determine the minimum time necessary to cure the adhesive for <br />sufficient set to bear traffic. <br />3.02 SIGN FABRICATION <br />A. Preparation of sign blanks and fabrication of reflectorized faces shall conform to the <br />applicable requirements of DOT Section 700-4 and 700-5. <br />3.03 INSTALLATION <br />A. Sign and supports shall be erected in conformance to DOT requirements and as <br />specified herein. <br />B. All damaged signs and reflective pavement markers and traffic stripes and markings <br />shall be replaced in conformance with this Section and DOT requirements. <br />3.04 WEATHER LIMITATIONS: The CONTRACTOR shall not apply paint when any <br />moisture is present on the surface to be painted or when the air temperature is below 40 <br />degrees F. Painting shall not be done when winds are sufficient to cause spray dust. <br />3.05 CORRECTED MEASURES: All painted stripes, which fail to meet the <br />specifications including the permissible tolerances and appearance requirements, or are <br />marred or damaged by traffic or from other causes, shall be corrected by the <br />CONTRACTOR at its sole expense. All drips and spattered paint shall be removed to the <br />satisfaction of the ENGINEER. Whenever it is necessary to remove paint, it shall be <br />performed by sand blasting or by any other means, which will not damage the underlying <br />surface of the pavement as approved by the ENGINEER. <br /> <br /> <br />END OF SECTION
