2.
Routine
Maintenance
a. MDOT or MDOT's
Contractor shall inspect all sign surfaces annually to determine adequate
legibility and retro-reflective performance. These inspections may be
subjective nighttime appraisals; however, in case of differences of opinion by
MDOT's Contractor and MDOT personnel, final determination will be made by MDOT
using a retro-reflectivity measuring instrument furnished by MDOT's Contractor
and used as directed by the sheeting manufacturer. Inspections shall be
documented.
b. Signs and supports
shall be inspected annually to determine integrity of the support and hanging
system. Bolts shall be re-torqued as required and any noticeable rust spots,
sheeting damage, loose rivets, vandalism damage, etc., shall be repaired.
Inspections shall be documented.
c.
Sight distance as initially required and outlined in this Rule shall be
maintained for the life contract. Inspections and efforts to maintain sight
distance requirements shall be documented.
d. All logo program sign surfaces shall be
cleaned as needed. Cleaning shall be performed as recommended by the
manufacturer of the retro-reflective sheeting and shall be
documented.
3.
Emergency Maintenance
a. Sign damage that poses an immediate danger
to the traveling public shall receive immediate attention. When MDOT or MDOT's
Contractor becomes aware of the sign damage, action shall be initiated
immediately to remove the danger to the public.
b. MDOT or MDOT's Contractor shall then
initiate procurement of materials and make necessary repairs. Sign repairs
requiring ordering of materials from suppliers outside the local area shall be
accomplished within thirty (30) days from the date of awareness. Sign repairs
requiring materials available from Contractor's stock or locally available
shall be performed within five (5) days from date of awareness of need. The
intent of this section is to allow reasonable time for procurement of
materials; however, Contractor should make reasonable efforts to have
stockpiled or readily available sources of materials for maintenance.
c. The MDOT District Maintenance personnel
will cooperate with Contractor by advising of needed sign or support
maintenance that they notice. Contractor shall provide the appropriate MDOT
personnel with names and emergency phone number of Contractor's maintenance
personnel that will respond to maintenance requirements.
