Specifications and Procedures for Lighting Supports:
Specifications: These specifications and procedures have been compiled in part from the Ohio Department of Transportation 2023 Construction and Material Specifications Manual (C&MS), which can be found here: https://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/ConstructionMgt/Specification%20Files/2023_CMS_Final_to_Printer.pdf

The furnished supports shall include the associated hardware as shown on all applicable SCDs, which includes but is not limited to foundation anchor bolts, washers, and nuts. If shown on the attached plans from the bid requestor, furnish bracket arms with all attachment hardware.
All supports shall be permanently marked as to ODOT design type, height, and arm length (if applicable) (e.g. AT9B32.5; 32.5’ HT., 9’ ARM) on the bottom of the anchor base plates. The manufacturer’s catalog numbers, or other identifying codes may remain on the supports, but they will not fulfill this requirement. Anchor bolt sets shall be identified by permanently marked waterproof tags. If delivered parts are not easily identified on the bottom of the anchor base for supports or by waterproof tags for anchor bolt sets as to design type and length, the parts will be returned to the bidder at his or her expense. No unidentified parts will be accepted.
Light Pole and Light Tower materials meeting the Department’s Construction and Materials Specifications, 725.01, 725.21, standards or plans will be acceptable for direct shipment and immediate use in construction projects per Supplement 1091. Producer/suppliers conforming to this supplement’s requirements are authorized to provide light pole and light tower materials under certification. This supplement makes no changes or revisions of any ODOT, ASTM or AASHTO specifications for the light pole or light tower materials.
Certification of a light pole or light tower does not eliminate the Project Engineer’s authority to inspect and reject any, or all, certified light poles or light towers delivered to the jobsite with excessive defects, damage or that do not meet specifications.
The following is a list of Certified Producers and Suppliers per requirements of Supplements 1091: https://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/ConstructionMgt/Materials/Approved%20List/Approved-list/S-1091.pdf

Procedures: The submittal of a unit bid price does not guarantee that ODOT will purchase the materials from the vendor. A specific Purchase Order (PO) will be sent to the vendor and at that time, the previously noted Delivery Time will begin.
At the time of the bid, the bidder shall file all detailed shop drawings, photographs, specifications, etc. on the proposed items. If further clarification is needed by the bidder due to issues or design errors before the bid opening date, the bidder shall submit all pre-bid questions to the Bid Contact. Any deviations from the specifications indicated herein must be clearly pointed out. Otherwise, it will be considered that items offered are in strict compliance with these specifications herein and the successful bidder will be held responsible, therefore. If more than one catalog number, style or type is listed on one sheet the item to be furnished must be identified clearly by circling, underlining, or other marking. Discovery of details not meeting specifications may result in disqualification of the bid.
Approval of these detailed shop drawings, etc. shall not relieve the bidder of the responsibility for erroneous or inconsistent dimensions, notations, omissions, or other errors in the design of the delivered product.
The unit bid price shall include delivery charges to the location listed.
Each unit delivered shall be guaranteed against faulty material and workmanship for a period as stated by the bidder in the proposal (this guarantee period shall be not less than that usually granted) and, if during this period such faults develop, the bidder agrees to replace the unit or the part affected without cost to ODOT, with all replacement charges paid for by the vendor.
