Permanent Lighting Clause Samples
The Permanent Lighting clause establishes the requirements and standards for the installation of fixed lighting systems within a project. It typically outlines the types of lighting fixtures to be used, their locations, and the performance criteria they must meet, such as brightness levels and energy efficiency. This clause ensures that the completed project has adequate, safe, and code-compliant lighting, addressing both functional and regulatory needs.
Permanent Lighting. Before placing any permanent lighting, Developer shall provide TxDOT a layout indicating the proposed location of such items.
Permanent Lighting. Developer shall coordinate with the Utility Owner(s) and ensure power service is initiated and maintained for permanent lighting systems. Where the Work impacts existing lighting, Developer shall maintain existing lighting as temporary lighting during construction and restored or replaced by the Developer prior to the commencement of the Operations and Maintenance period. Developer shall place all bore pits safely away from traffic, provide positive barrier protection, and provide necessary signs to warn of the construction area. Developer shall contact Utility Owners regarding their specific required working clearance requirements. Developer shall affix an identification decal on each luminaire, ground box, and electrical service maintained and/or operated by the Developer for inventory purposes and shall submit inventory information to TxDOT in a TxDOT- compatible format.. This identification shall denote that these are property of the Developer and shall provide a contact phone number and address in the event of Emergency or necessary maintenance.
Permanent Lighting. Developer shall provide continuous roadway lighting along the highway main lanes, managed lanes, ramps, and cross streets within the Project limits. Developer shall prepare lighting studies that consider illumination levels, uniformity, and sources for the roadways, interchanges, and special areas. Developer shall maintain an average horizontal luminance on the roadways as described in Book 2, All third party requests for lighting within the Project Site shall be subject to TxDOT approval. Developer shall provide an average to minimum uniformity ratio of 3.1 with a minimum lux of 1.85 and an average lux of 6.5 to 8.6 on all traveled roadways to be illuminated. Traveled roadways include: tolled lanes, general use lanes, HOV lanes, auxiliary lanes, ramps, frontage roads and ramp terminal intersections with cross streets. Developer shall design the lighting system to minimize or eliminate illumination of areas outside the Project ROW.
Permanent Lighting. Crossing numbers in this section refer to Table 1 in Section 2.2.4 and Figures 4A-4D in Appendix A of the Biological Opinion.
a. General CM’s for the entire project:
i. Use shorter poles, providing an overall LED light fixture mounting height of 35’ above the pavement surface.
ii. Use LED light fixtures with a more rectangular light pattern as well as house side ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to minimize lighting outside of the pavement area.
iii. Use LED light fixtures with a BUG rating of 1-0-3 or less
iv. Change the design standards to meet the AASHTO minimum requirements of an average of 0.6 fc at 4:1 uniformity at all crossing locations identified in the lighting document, from the original design of 0.8 fc at 4:1 uniformity.
v. At all identified crossings, the proposed high mast poles and 45’ poles with GE Cobrahead (GE) fixtures (3-0-3 BUG) were redesigned with 35’ poles with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Cobrahead (▇▇▇▇▇▇) fixtures (1-0-3 BUG).
