Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1.0 The scope of work for this project is to provide one-strand access restraint cable, low tension guard cable, and high tension guard cable repair and replacement on an as needed basis in response to vehicle damage and similar sudden occurrence, such as physical damage by the elements, but not solely as a result of wear and tear or changes in standards not in connection with a sudden occurrence. The contractor will be notified of the need for work by written notice on a location by location basis. 2.0 The work will be performed along the following Commission maintained roadways: I-70 in Montgomery and Warren counties, Route 61 in Lincoln county, Route T in Ralls county and Route 36 in Macon county. 3.0 The contract includes pay items to repair access restraint cable, low tension guard cable, and high tension guard cable systems by removal and replacement of major components and assemblies that have been damaged. 4.0 The contract includes pay items for removal of existing cable systems and installation of new cable systems and related appurtenances complete in place. The engineer may order a new cable system or related appurtenance to be installed when the existing system is damaged to such a significant extent that it is in the best interest of the Commission and the traveling public to install new current standard material, complete in place, rather than repair the existing system. New cable systems may be used to replace an entire existing system which is partially or wholly damaged or selected portions of such damaged system. Installation of new cable systems may require conformance to location specific plans provided by the engineer. The work may involve adjusting the location of new cable systems to properly shield the roadside obstacle for which the existing damaged system was originally installed. The determination of when an existing cable system is significantly damaged such that it requires installation of a new system, rather than repair, or when an existing system requires adjusting the location will be made by the engineer.
