DS-19 SIGN MESSAGE Sign manufacturer shall furnish a design for each sign, to the City, for written approval prior to the manufacture of any sign, including but not limited to): Letter Size: 8-inch upper case Series C 6-inch lower case Series C Styles: Federal Highway Series Arrows: Border: 1-inch Block Numbers: 3-inch Series C Directories (i.e., City Hall, Post Office, etc.): 4-inch upper case Series C 3-inch lower case Series C "NO OUTLET": 3-inch upper case Series C Or as deemed necessary by the City. The sign manufacturer has the option of applied or reverse/direct silk screened. SIGN FRAME AND PANEL CONSTRUCTION The frame shall be aluminum channel extrusion, 1.25 inches x 1.25 inches x".125 inch thickness, alloy 6063-T5. All joints of the aluminum channel shall be meter cut to form a 45 degree angle at each corner. The frame shall be welded with an inert gas shielded arc welding process using 4043 electrode filler wire in accordance with good shop practices. The width of the filler wire shall be equal to the wall thickness of the channel being welded. The top of the frame will have two 2-inch x 2-inch x .250-inch wall thickness channel members welded and fastened to the frame with stainless steel bolt, washer, ny-lock nuts and cotter pins. An adjustable swing assembly will be attached to these members. A sign panel shall be fastened to both sides of the channel frame to make a double-faced unit. Each sign panel must be a continuous sheet with no vertical or horizontal splices to make up one panel. The sign panels shall be affixed to the frame with 3/16 inch diameter blind pop rivets alloy 5052. They must be aluminum approved. The exposed face of the rivet shall be of similar DS-20 shade and compatible with the face color of the finished sign. The rivets shall be placed through the face of the sign with the wall of the channel placed against the back of the sign panel. Rivets shall be placed no closer than 1/2 inch from the edge of the sign panel and a minimum of 8 inches apart from one another. All rivets must penetrate the web of the channel frame for proper grip strength between sign panel and frame. The swing hinge is attached to the 2-inch x 2-inch channel member with a 1/4-inch stainless steel bolt and bronze bushing, then secured with a ny-lock nut. MOUNTING ASSEMBLIES The top of the sign frame shall have two free swinging mounting brackets. They shall be of all aluminum, bronze, or stainless steel parts. Each of the swing brackets shall be adjustable vertically for leveling the sign. The bracket assembly shall permit the full assembly to swing perpendicular to the support hardware. The hardware used to attach the sign and swing assembly to the mast arm shall be a three-piece telescoping design. Its minimum adjustable range shall be from at least (but no greater than) 12 inches to at least (but not less than) 28 inches, on a maximum of 1 inch increments (without additional adapters required). Each inside tube shall fit firmly within the outer and slide smoothly. Safety tabs shall be located on the ends of each tube so as to not allow the tubes to completely separate from each other during shipping or installation. Tubing design shall be of a design and made of materials to meet any and all structural standards (to provide a life expectancy of 50 years under worst case weather conditions) determined by the State of California for the construction of traffic signals and their appurtenances. When the installation of the assembly to the mast arm is complete, the assembly should swing freely 90 degrees in both directions (when moved by the installer) without any binding or hindrance felt so that the assembly will move freely under normal weather conditions. FINISHED SIGNS The finished sign shall be flat within a ratio of 0.04 inches per linear foot when measured across the plane of each panel from opposite corners or at any location on the panel. All finished signs shall have a smooth flat surface without defects or objectionable marks of any kind on either the front or the back faces. All letters and designs shall be clearly cut and sharply defined. The appearance of the sign face shall be uniform throughout and shall be free of wrinkles, gel, hand spots, streaks, extrusion marks, air bubbles, or blemishes that may impair the serviceability or detract from the general appearance or color matching of the sign when viewed from a distance of twenty-five (25) feet. The finished sign shall be clean and free from all burrs, sharp edges, loose rivets, aluminum marks. DS-21 INSPECTION The sign manufacturer shall maintain and, on request, provide the City with records of any and all testing and their results and coating process, including (but not limited to) alloy verification, pretreatment, adhesive identification; and processing temperatures for each production lot. INSTALLATION Installation of each sign assembly shall be per the sign manufacturer's specifications and all Caltrans standards. Any deviations (without prior written approval by the Engineer) shall be cause for rejection. PACKAGING Packaging must be in accordance with the sheeting manufacturer's specifications. All signs shall be packaged in such a manner to ensure delivery in perfect condition and shall be suitably protected for proper shipment and storage until installation of the assembly. ACCEPTANCE Signs with any defects or damage that affects their appearance and/or serviceability in accordance with any standard above will not be accepted by the City.
