FAID#: U58DP005861

21

Removal of traffic stripes and pavement markings shall be by grinding. Thermoplastic and pavement tapes striping may be removed by grinding with the Engineer’s approval. Existing pavement markings, which are removed by grinding, shall be completely removed to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

All removal areas shall be sealed using fog seal. Fog seal shall be installed 2 feet wide per linear feet of removed striping unless directed otherwise by the engineer.

The Contractor shall apply a fog seal of dilute (1:1) SS-1h emulsion, dilute emulsified recycling agent or equivalent at a rate of 0.08 to 0.12 gallon per square yard to all areas opened to traffic.

C. TEMPORARY STRIPING

The Contractor shall install temporary traffic striping within 24-hours after paving the street or on any unstriped lanes opened to traffic. Public traffic shall not be allowed on any multilane arterial street without temporary or permanent striping.

Temporary striping can be per City of Santa Ana Standard Plan Nos. 1125B-1 & B-2 (without the raised pavement markers) or by installing reflectorized chip seal markers (single for 4” line, double for 8” line) at 20 feet on center when on a taper or curve, and at 40 feet on center elsewhere. If striping is used, stripes can be paint or temporary traffic striping tape.

All temporary striping shall be removed prior to the final striping.

Thermoplastic Application Rate Testing

The paint application rate shall be determined by passing the striper over a metal plate while the paint application system is operating. The flow of glass beads shall be stopped while passing over the metal plate. The Engineer shall measure thickness of the applied thermoplastic immediately after application of thermoplastic on the metal plate. Striping shall not continue if the proper thickness of thermoplastic is not being applied. Adjustments and corrective measures shall be applied to insure that the correct thickness of thermoplastic will be applied. Testing of the thermoplastic application rate, as described above, will be required following any adjustment to the thermoplastic application rate, thermoplastic applicator nozzles, or any other thermoplastic application equipment prior to commencement or re-commencement of striping. The initial testing and re-testing of thermoplastic application rates at any location shall be considered as a single thermoplastic application rate test.
