O & M for pavement markings

Is there a standard Operations and Maintenance sheet that someone can send me for pavement markings on new construction?

never heard of such a thing, but if you do get one, please forward me a copy

No such thing. Every city, state and little town has its own standerd in its building code. Check with the code enforcement office in the place this new construction is in.

Follow the blue prints and the liability for code compliance will fall on the engineering firm and or general contractor. 1. Always ask if these are the latest plans and keep a copy even if you have you have to pay for printing. 2. Always apply common sense. 3. Always start layout on non movable objects like ADA ramps then if there is an error in the drawings the rest can be adjusted with a change order. 4. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS get change orders in writing and signed.

ditto on starting layout on ramps or non movables

That is good advice. I haven't encountered an issue yet but I will start doing this from now on. It makes complete sense.

You will find that concrete and asphalt people can not read a tap measure, nothing is where it should be. Nothing worst then spending an hour measuring the thing only to find that a line ends up in the middle of a ramp. Measure for the ramps first then you can fit every thing else in, the fat chic can park in the big space on the end. I did one they measured so bad that a support column was right in the middle of the handicapped ramp.

Always do a full layout before any paint goes down. Once did a brand new parking lot off of plans by a well respected engineering firm and as I got to the last row of spaces I ran out of parking lot to layout. 23 feet short of what was on the plan. I don't know if it was the engineering company or the contractor. Fortunately no paint on the ground and the owner and I were able to make changes on the fly and get it done for an event the next day.

Yes you couldn,t be more right on. We once came up five spaces short on a new school. Like you don't know who made the. Error but you can't paint what is not there.
