STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE AND COMPENSATION AGREEMENT 750-010-22 TRAFFIC OPERATIONS 04/15 Page 2 of 5 incurred due to traffic impacts to mast arms, which reimbursements will be processed after the Department receives a properly completed and supported invoice from the Maintaining Agency. The Department will pursue reimbursements from individuals and/or the third parties who cause damages to mast arms and are liable for replacement/repair costs. Failure to perform preventative maintenance after notification of an inspection deficiency will result in the Maintaining Agency being responsible for the corrective actions. If spot painting or any other described preventative maintenance is not carried out, there shall be a 25% retainage of the annual compensation amount for the affected signal locations until the preventative maintenance is performed. For each month subsequent to the expiration of the 90 -day notice given to the Maintaining Agency that preventative maintenance deficiencies exist, 1/12th of the annual compensation amount for the affected signal locations will be forfeited up to 25% of the annual compensation amount. In the case of a total paint failure on a mast arm installed prior to the date of this Agreement, the Department will fund the cost of repainting. This does not include any mast arm that was installed with a separate mast arm painted finish agreement. The terms of that agreement will control. 6. Periodic maintenance includes but is not limited to: repair of cracks in the mast arm structure; removal and/or repair of grout pads; resetting of anchor bolts; and repair or replacement of deteriorated anchor bolts and nuts. For any new mast arm installations after the date of this Agreement, if a Maintaining Agency requests a painted mast arm, the Maintaining Agency agrees to perform all required periodic and preventative maintenance. Any periodic maintenance performed on the mast arm structure by the Maintaining Agency needs Department approval prior to commencement of work and shall be performed within 90 days unless under an emergency situation. Any and all work performed by the Maintaining Agency must conform to the current Department Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction as applicable.
