Table 2 -Typical Minimum Initial Retro-reflectance Values WhiteYellow Dry (ASTM E1710)500375 Wet Recovery (ASTM E2177)225200 Wet Continuous (ASTM E2832)7560 c.Typical retro-reflectivity results represent average performance for smooth pavement surfaces. Values represent both and "S" series elements. Results may vary due to differences in pavement type and surface roughness. Increased element drop rate may be necessary to compensate for increased surface area characteristic of rough pavement surfaces. d.Initial retro-reflectivity performance of pavement striping shall be measured no sooner than 4-7 days after application. Measurements taken immediately after application may be different due to excess non-adhered beads and elements remaining on the line. 21)Any Tree marked with orange paint may be removed from the County Right of Way.

There are three areas where the trench is required to cross Skyway Road. 1. The western most crossing is near “Camino Cielo” consisting of one 18” wide by 68” deep trench. 2. Location near 5115 Skyway consisting of one 30” wide by 78” deep trench. This crossing will be through the paved turn lane. 3. Location at intersection of Skyway Road (East Bound Lanes) and Skyway Crossroad consisting of one 30” wide by 78” deep trench. Traffic Control will consist of standard Caltrans T-11 and T-11 Lane Closure on Multilane Conventional Highways. Our traffic control will close one lane of traffic in either one or both directions during work hours. The contingencies below are all related to restoring the roadway and travelled way at the end of shift to allow traffic to return to all lanes. Contingencies: Hard rock slowing excavation Backfill slurry delivery problem Precipitation Resolutions: There will be rock hammers and other rock removal tools onsite and available during these crossings to ensure the work progresses. Trench plates will be stockpiled onsite to place over any unfinished trenches. Class 2 aggregate base will be stockpiled near the work area to fill and compact in the trench temporarily until the slurry can be provided. Work will be stopped, the trench plated and closed lanes reopened to traffic. The road will never be completely closed to traffic, therefore, emergency vehicles and all other traffic will be allowed to pass at all times. PG&E is proposing to conduct the installation of a new high voltage primary overhead conductor crossing. This type of work is a normal to the power line industry and performed daily across the nation. For this work the contractor ILB will be performing the work under the guidance of a PGE inspector. The work description would include the setup of the traffic lane closure in the up-hill and downhill directions on the #2 lanes. Work hours will be midnight 8-19-19 / 8-20-19 to 3AM on 8-20-19. Upon the lane closure set up crews will place bucket trucks on each pole. When the line crew notifies the flaggers, they are ready the flaggers will prepare the hard closure. Crew members will have the wire needed to cross the road cut long and already connected to the pole on the east side. Upon a signal from the flagger that the work zone is secured the crew members will carry the wire across the road and pass it to another crew member in a bucket. The wires will go up one at a time. Each wire should take 3 minutes. Assuming all 3 wires takes 9 minutes the closure will be lifted, and traffic can flow freely. Contingencies: Mechanical failure of a bucket or inability to cross the road Trouble for the crew to get the wire sagged high enough to get traffic through Mechanical failure of line hardware or tools Un-expected emergency vehicle traffic rd Un-expected 3 party with urgent situation Resolutions: Where possible finish connection of a single conductor (3 -5 minutes) Abandon crossing of a single conductor to clear the roadway (2 minutes) Drop wire on the road, Foreman or lead lineman would give the signal the flagger to allow traffic to cross wire on the road (30 seconds to 1 minute) Situation where conductor was partially suspended above road, lineman maneuvers bucket to let wire off the pole then revert to above actions (3-5 minutes) traffic flow within a 5-minute interval. Any scenario in which they would cause an extended delay would be an emergency, in that case our priority would focus on the emergency then shift to getting the road cleared. With the size of the crews and flaggers we would expect both situations would still be resolved quickly.
