Flexible Delineators & Steel Anchors

All correspondence must be made through the Vendor Portal.Specifications include, but are not limited to: A. Delineator Posts and Guardrail Markers(1) Tubular Delineator Posts and Guardrail Markers shall consist of a flexible,durable, and non-discoloring material that is 2 to 4 inches in diameter and resistant toultraviolet and infrared radiation. Tubular delineator posts and guardrail markers shallbe permanently closed or capped to prevent moisture or debris from entering. Theupper end of the post/marker shall be flattened to provide an area at least 3 inches wideand 12 inches long to accommodate retroreflective sheeting. Posts/markers shall bewhite, yellow, or light gray in color.Once installed, the delineator posts and guardrail markers shall be resistant tooverturning, twisting, leaning or displacement. The posts must be compatible with ananchor that holds the post in place by a locking mechanism or bolting arrangement thatprovides a simple method of attaching the original post, or subsequent replacementposts, to the anchor with few to no tools. Simplicity, safety and function of this postto-anchor connection will be a consideration in the award.(2) Extrusion Delineator Posts and Guardrail Markers shall consist of a single curve,C-shaped thermoplastic extrusion a minimum of 3.75 inches wide, with 0.160 inch(typical) walls, comprised of a uniformly curved profile with a 3.0 radius. Alldelineator posts shall be capable of sustaining a minimum of ten (10) direct wheel-overimpacts at 60 MPH (100 KPH) without damage to the post or the reflective sheetingapplied to the post. All posts shall be constructed of UV-stabilized thermo-plastic polycarbonate (PC) for superior durability and weathering, conforming to the followingmaterial specifications:Property ASTM Test ResultsSpecific Gravity (typical) D 792 1.20Hardness (min., R-scale) D 785 100Water Absorption, 24 hours, 73 F D 570 0.576Tensile Elongation @ break (min.%)D 638 30 %Izod Impact, 1/8 Notched, (ft.lbs./in.)D 256 12.0Izod Impact, 1/8 Un-notched, (ft.lbs./in.)D 256 NoBreakCold Temp.

The anchor for the tubular delineator post must be easilydrivable in compacted gravel and durable enough to be reused in most cases as postsbecome damaged. Compatibility with the soil anchors presently in use will be aconsideration in the award.ii. Surface Mount Anchor. The anchor for the guardrail marker must be capable ofattaching to a solid horizontal surface with the use of a single bolt or lag. Thesurface mount anchor shall have a footprint not to exceed 20 square inches or anoverall height not to exceed 2 inches.(2) Extrusion Delineator Posts and Guardrail Markers require anchors:i. Steel Anchor: The steel anchor unit shall be a hot rolled rail steel or new billet steelmeeting the physical requirements of ASTM A499 and the chemical requirementsof ASTM A1. The steel anchor shall be a uniform flanged channel post with nominalweight of 1.12 #/ft. (.418 kg) before holes are punched. Anchors shall be a minimumof 12 (304.5m m) in length and have a sufficient number of 3/8 (9.5 mm) diameterholes on 1 (25.38 mm) centers to facilitate attachment to flexible guide posts.Anchors shall be supplied with attachment hardware as recommended by themanufacturer.C. ColorDelineator posts shall be constructed of UV-stabilized polymers and colors. The color shallbe solid throughout and stabilized to resist UV degradation. Color shall be White, Yellow or LightGray, unless otherwise specified.
