Furnish and apply waterborne striping paint for 4 inch and 6 inch lines, reflectorized with glass beads, to the sections of roadway provided in this Contract with an updated listing provided at the pre-construction meeting. This Contract is for the installation of centerlines, lane lines, edgelines, ramp lines, dotted lines and gore lines only. Gore line materials shall be the same as the mainline of the roadway. Special markings such as stop bars, crosswalks, cross-hatching, chevrons, railroad markings, etc. are not to be installed under this Contract. Intersection approach markings such as the edgelines of large painted islands or edgelines on mountable medians may be included at the discretion of the Engineer provided they can be painted by the striping truck. Markings that would require application by equipment other than the striping truck are not to be installed under this Contract. Retrace existing lines on the listed routes. The Department will pre-mark any section of roadway where there are no existing markings, old markings are no longer visible, or where the existing markings are to be changed. Do not place edge lines on any section of roadway where edgelines do not currently exist without written authorization from the Chief District Engineer. Use only one paint crew per route per county. MATERIALS FOR WATERBORNE PAINT STRIPING PAINT: Furnish paint materials for this project to meet the performance requirements detailed in Sections 842 of the Standard Specifications. Submit initial samples for each paint formulation for approval prior to initiation of the striping operations. The Contractor’s paint manufacturer may submit the initial sample directly to the Department. The Department will obtain subsequent samples of paint in accordance with the Materials Field Sampling Manual when striping operations are in progress. A minimum of one sample will be obtained per color, per truck, per week and shall represent the quantity of striping applied per week. Deductions for application of non-specification paint shall be assessed to the quantity of striping represented by the sample.
