3M Request Form

620.14.1 Scope

The guidance is for administering, coordinating and inspecting projects selected for placement of 3M 380I series tape. Direct any questions that you may have of this process to the Construction and Materials Division.

620.14.2 General Contract Requirements

Through June 30, 2007, placement of 3M series tape will be handled under two separate contracts, therefore different contract numbers, job numbers, line items, etc. have or will be set up in SiteManager for reporting and paying for work under the new contract.

For jobs that 3M has placed temporary paint in 2006 will continued to be administered and paid under Contract Number J1D0690. No new line items will be added to this existing contract. This 3M contract was a statewide contract for placement of 3M 380I, 380I-ES and 380I-WR series tape on major, divided highway projects that were completed by December 2006.

All major, divided highway projects to be constructed between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2011, will be covered under the new Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission Contract Services Agreement with 3M, executed by the Commission on March 13, 2007. See Appendix A for a copy of the new contract.

The 2007 contract requires 3M to place 3M 380I-WR (Type 2 tape) or 380I-5WR (contrast tape) series tape on the lane line and on all other lines between the edge lines of roadways on major, divided highway projects. A preliminary list of future 3M tape projects was developed solely for negotiating the 3M 2007 contract and is believed to be not all inclusive. For this reason, Design and Traffic will decide if projects warrants 3M tape or not during the design and bidding process. However, if there is question if a project upon awarded should have 3M tape or not, contact the Construction and Materials Division. This definitely should be the case for projects awarded prior to this 2007 contract, i.e., projects awarded prior to April 1, 2007.
Major, divided highway projects consisting of maintenance surface treatments, such as microsurfacing or chip seals, are not to be striped with 3M tape. Some major, divided highway projects may also be exempted for 3M tape for the following reasons:
(a) The length of the project is relatively short (less than 1 mile long) and pavement marking on either end of the project does not consist of 3M tape.
(b) It is logical to delay the placement of the 3M tape on the project until the adjacent pavements are upgraded to 3M tape.
(c) The rehabilitation strategy for the project has a life expectancy of five years or less.
Exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis, based upon information provided by a district to Construction and Materials and pending approval by Traffic.
The 2007 contract requires 3M to complete all its work by May 31, 2012, and includes a warranty for the 3M 380I series tape to perform for four years, with expectations to perform satisfactorily for 7-8 years.

3M should begin application of pavement markings within five days of the date specified by the engineer. This date will be determined according to the prime contractors schedule and agreement. The date will be considered 3M’s date of notice to proceed. The engineer should notify 3M of that date as soon as possible to allow 3M time to schedule and mobilize its subcontractor (preferably ten days, at minimum, in advance).

If tape installation is not able to begin within the five-day time frame or when climatic conditions restrict the application of durable markings, 3M should apply, at 3M’s expense, temporary paint striping which may remain in place for up to six months.

Mobilization - If 3M is requested to apply pavement markings more than once to a specific job number, a mobilization fee of $1500.00 may apply, but will not exceed a maximum of two mobilization fees per job number. Mobilization charges will not apply on a two-directional roadway project until after the second mobilization has been requested. For projects 10 miles or longer, provisions have also been made for allowance to request pavement marking to be applied on each 5-mile segment of roadway as rehabilitation work is completed.

3M is responsible for removing Type 1 temporary raised pavement markers when located in proximity to where the tape is being installed at no charge to the Commission and removing Type 2 temporary raised pavement markers when located in proximity to where the tape is being installed at a cost of $1.00 per marker removed. Removal of temporary raised pavement markers should be done during placement of 3M tape. Temporary paint placed by 3M that is not covered by 3M tape should be removed by and at the 3M subcontractor’s expense. Any other temporary pavement marking installed outside the limits where 3M tape is installed will be either the district or the contractor’s responsibility.

620.14.2.1 2010 Supplemental Agreement

In May of 2010 the Commission entered in to a supplemental agreement with the 3M Company. The purpose of this supplemental agreement is to change the material being installed by 3M and the amount of work they will be doing. It also provided provisions for the Commission to purchase an extended warranty on tape that has already been installed.

Under the provisions of the supplemental agreement, no new work would be directed to 3M from projects let after and including the April 2010 letting. Projects that were let prior to the April 2010 letting would continue to have lane lines installed by 3M.

The material being used will no longer be preformed tape. Instead, 3M will begin installing epoxy, using a wet reflective bead system in a groove.

All other requirements of the original agreement are in force under the supplemental agreement. Management and coordination of the 3M contract remains the same.

620.14.3 Material

All temporary pavement marking should be in accordance with Sec 1048 of the Standard Specifications. To expedite the approval process for temporary paint on these projects, 3M is submitting to the Central Laboratory samples of each paint lot to be used by 3M subcontractors. Test results for each lot meeting our specifications are entered into SiteManager by Central Laboratory personnel. To verify a lot of paint being used by a 3M subcontractor is approved for use, perform an impromptu search for that lot of paint.

3M tape material should conform to the applicable specifications set forth in the 3M’s recommendation for 380I-WR (Type 2 tape) or 380I-5WR (contrast tape) series tape.

Sealant material to be applied to ground areas outside the allowable alignment tolerances should be either 3M P-50 adhesive, an asphalt emulsion in accordance with Sec 1015 of the Standard Specifications or other materials pre-approved by the Construction and Materials Division.

620.14.3.1 Grooved Epoxy System

The supplemental agreement provides that any pavement marking installed by 3M after April 1, 2010 will consist of a liquid epoxy system, installed in a groove according to manufacturer’s recommendations. The optics used in this system will include wet reflective beads. Six-inch wide markings will be used on asphalt surfaces and contrast markings will be used on concrete surfaces consisting of six-inch white markings with a one inch black on either side.

The minimum initial retroreflectivity of this system, measured within a period of seven to sixty days after installation shall be 450 mcd/m2/lux as measured by a mobile retroreflectomer.

No warranty will be provided on these installations.

At its discretion, 3M may substitute 380WR-5ES pavement marking tape at no cost to the Commission where contrast markings are required for short segments within a job that is otherwise non-contrast six-inch markings, for example on bridge decks.

620.14.4 Construction Requirements

620.14.4.1 Coordination of Work

The intent of the 3M contract is to allow 3M subcontractors to install pavement marking without interference with the prime contractor’s work. To minimize conflict of work by all parties will require good communication and coordination between the engineer, the prime contractor and 3M and its subcontractors.

As early as possible, a 3M request form (Appendix B) should be submitted electronically by the RE office to the Construction and Materials Division. The request should not be submitted until all information requested on the form can be provided, including a tentative date when work is to be completed by the prime contractor. Preparation of the form will require the engineer to estimate the quantity of 3M tape to be installed (linear feet of actual tape to be installed, i.e., less gaps) and number of Type 2 rpms to be removed. Note, projects in the April 2007 bid opening and thereafter will have a line bid item quantity in the contract for Type 2 rpms that are to be placed on the centerline. Report that quantity for the number of Type 2 rpms to be removed.

Upon receipt, the request will be logged into the Construction and Materials tracking database and appropriate line items will be created in SiteManager. The request will then be forwarded to 3M. Upon receipt, 3M will initiate their administration process to coordinate and track the work, which is outlined in detail in Appendix C.

Within three working days of the submittal date of the request, 3M should contact the district contact person named on the request form to set up a meeting with the RE office to discuss specific details of the project. If this doesn’t happen within three working days, contact the Construction and Materials Division so it can be determined why a follow-up to the request was not made. During this initial meeting, 3M will complete a 3M pre-job form (Appendix C) with the RE to help clarify project details. This meeting may be done in person, by telephone or e-mail. If possible, it is also recommended that this meeting include the prime contractor as well to establish a good working relationship between all parties and to work out details how work will be accomplished without interference with between contractors

If a date when the work is to begin has not been determined at the time of completion of the pre-job form, the RE should notify 3M when the date to proceed has been established. It is recommended that partial acceptance of a project not be made until after 3M has been notified to proceed with installing pavement markings and there are favorable weather conditions for the foreseeable future (seven days); this will provide ample time for 3M to mobilize forces to install either tape or paint within five days of notification. It is recommended that the risk be placed on the contractor to maintain temporary pavement markings when work is being performed during questionable climatic conditions or time of year that may restrict placement of temporary paint or 3M tape.

Partial acceptance of a project or notification to 3M to proceed should not be made until all other work on the roadway that will require lane closures are complete. It is essential that the 3M subcontractor has the clearance to perform their work without hindrance, just as it is with the prime contractor. The engineer should work with the prime contractor on projects to ensure no conflicts exist. For example, if the prime contractor plans to work on the shoulders that will require closing a lane, then partial acceptance of the traveled way should be held off until that work is complete, unless the prime contractor agrees to postpone that work during 3M striping operations.

The 3M subcontractor should notify the RE office five days prior to showing up on a project. From that point on, the engineer and the 3M subcontractor should deal directly with each other until the work is completed. If conflicts arise that cannot be resolved at that level, the engineer should contact Construction and Materials for assistance.

The engineer should have someone at the initial start of any 3M work on a project to address any questions that the 3M subcontractor may have on the layout of the pavement marking.

The 3M subcontractor should contact the engineer, at minimum, one working day prior to finalizing work on a project. Prior to the subcontractor leaving the project, the engineer should arrange a final inspection of the tape installation to ensure that it is satisfactorily and that both parties, the engineer and the subcontractor, are in agreement of the final quantity of tape to be paid for.

620.14.4.2 Establishment of Centerline Stripe Location

Since the 3M subcontractor has no pre-knowledge of the lane line stripe prior to resurfacing, the prime contractor, with assistance from the engineer, should establish where the final pavement marking should be located. How this will be established and shown on the pavement for the 3M subcontractor should be addressed during the 3M pre-job meeting. Order of precedence in establishing the final lane line location should be as follows:

(a) Avoid abrupt changes in the lane line alignment. For example, when approaching a bridge or other pavement where existing pavement marking exists, stretch out the transition to the existing pavement marking as much as possible.
(b) Keep adjacent line skips aligned as much as possible. Where necessary, shorten or lengthen a skip or pavement marking to quickly match up with existing pavement marking skips.
(c) Avoid existing lane joint on concrete or asphalt pavement.
(d) Maintain 12 ft. lane width.
(e) Maintain 40 ft. cycles for the lane lines.
(f) At bridge approaches, consideration may be given to removing the existing markings on the bridge deck if the above methods create a significant variation in the alignment of the lane lines.

620.14.4.3 Temporary Traffic Control Plan

Temporary traffic control (TTC) measures should be in accordance with the TTC plans provided in the 3M contract (Appendix A). The first four TTC plans in the 3M contract are for stationary operations, i.e., installation of 3M tape. The last TTC plan is for temporary paint mobile operations.

620.14.4.4 Temporary Pavement Marking

It is critical in working with 3M to provide temporary paint markings as soon as possible after the mainline surface work is complete. The benefits are:

(a) The temporary paint will provide good day and night visibility.
(b) Painting in the standard 10 ft. by 30 ft. pattern will provide good presence on the roadway.
(c) The final footprint for the 3M tape will be established early in the striping process, since the pattern to place the tape will be the same as the temporary paint.

The prime contractor is responsible for maintaining temporary pavement marking until the engineer relieves the contractor of that responsibility by partial acceptance of the roadway. The district is responsible for maintaining temporary pavement marking between the time partial acceptance of a segment of a project has been made to when 3M provides either temporary or permanent pavement marking. To minimize the time between partial acceptance of a project segment of roadway and the time of placement of temporary or permanent pavement markings by 3M, the engineer should closely coordinate the partial acceptance of a project with when 3M will be able to do the work. For example, if it is anticipated, based upon the contractor’s work schedule, that the pavement will be ready for partial acceptance in seven days, 3M should be notified of such so they can make arrangements for their subcontractor to be ready to start pavement marking installation as soon as possible after partial acceptance is made. When such notifications are provided, 3M should be kept informed if circumstances change that may delay partial acceptance of a project. Prior to partially accepting a segment of a project, the engineer may also want to take into consideration the availability of 3M subcontractors to perform the work in order to minimize the time that the district is responsible for maintaining the temporary pavement markings on a project.

Where possible, if the prime contractor agrees, 3M should be allowed to place either temporary or permanent pavement marking prior to partial acceptance of a project. This should definitely be pursued if the prime contractor’s pavement marking subcontractor is a 3M subcontractor. If a 3M subcontractor does install either 3M tape or temporary paint in lieu of temporary raised pavement markers, the temporary pavement marking quantities on the prime contract should be underrun, since 3M is responsible for paying the subcontractor to perform this work. When 3M pavement markings are placed on a segment of roadway prior to partial acceptance of that segment of the project, the prime contractor should be held accountable for costs to repair any damaged 3M tape as a result of the contractor’s operations or diligence until acceptance, partial or final, of that segment of roadway. Damage to 3M tape due to normal traffic operations should be handled in accordance with the conditions of the 3M tape warranty.

Temporary pavement marking paint placed by 3M should have minimum initial retroreflectivity readings of 150 mcd/m2/lux. Temporary pavement marking paint, due to weathering and normal deterioration, should be restriped when retroreflectivity readings average below 100 mcd/m2/lux or when more than 5 percent of the paint stripe is missing in a section of pavement or when 50 percent or more of a 10 ft. lane line is missing. Retroreflectivity readings should be measured using portable hand-operated retroreflectometers. If the temporary pavement marking paint does not meet the minimum requirement, then a request should be sent to the Construction and Materials Division for restriping using the same 3M Request Form as when initially requesting 3M striping for a project. Upon receipt, 3M will complete the restriping within five days of notification, weather permitting.

620.14.4.5 Remobilization Requirements

As stated above regarding mobilization and in accordance with the 3M contract, MoDOT may be responsible for paying for remobilization to 3M when a 3M subcontractor is required to apply pavement markings more than once to a specific job number, except as follows:

(a) No remobilization charges will apply if the pavement marking is found to be unacceptable and needs to be restriped.
(b) No remobilization charges will apply for installation of 3M tape subsequent to placement of temporary pavement marking paint.
(c) No more than two remobilization charges will be charged to a project.
(d) For projects longer than 1.0 mile, but shorter than 10 miles with work in both directions, two mobilization requests are allowed at no cost to MoDOT, one in each direction.
(e) Large jobs in one direction may be broken down into segments, but segments may not be less than 5 miles long. In such cases, remobilization charges will only apply for the second and third request.
(f) Large jobs in both directions may be broken down into segments, but segments may not be shorter than 5 miles in each direction. In such cases, remobilization charges will only apply for the third and fourth request.

For example:

  • 3-mile job in one direction: Only one request allowed with no mobilization charge. All subsequent requests, a remobilization charge will apply.
  • 2-mile job in each direction, 4 miles total job length: Only two requests allowed, one in each direction, with no mobilization charge for either request. All subsequent requests in each direction, a remobilization charge will apply.
  • 20-mile job in one direction: Up to four requests allowed. No charge for the first and fourth request. Remobilization will be charged for requests two and three. (This falls within the category of no more than two remobilization charges per job.)
  • 20-mile job in both directions, 40 miles total job length: Up to eight requests allowed. No charge for requests one and two. Remobilization will be charged for requests three and four. No charge for subsequent requests, five – eight. (This falls within the category of no more than two remobilization charges per job.)

Based on the above parameters for remobilization charges, the engineer should minimize requests for remobilization. If for safety reasons it is determined remobilization is necessary, such requests with documentation should be submitted to Construction and Materials for approval prior to requesting remobilization of a 3M subcontractor that will incur costs to MoDOT.

620.14.4.6 Removal of Temporary Pavement Markings

As stated in General Contract Requirements, 3M is responsible for removal of all Type 1 and 2 temporary raised pavement markers placed along the centerline. All other removal of temporary pavement markings outside the footprint of the 3M tape is the responsibility of the district or contractor for that project. Therefore, if an exception is given to the contractor to use temporary pavement tape or paint in lieu of Type 1 and 2 temporary raised pavement markers, the temporary pavement markings should be properly aligned and fall within the final footprint of the 3M tape. Any such temporary pavement markings outside the final footprint of 3M tape pavement markings should be removed at the contractor’s expense after the placement of 3M temporary or permanent pavement marking.

When removal is conducted after 3M tape is installed, care should be taken to prevent damaging the 3M tape during removal operations. Replacement of damaged 3M tape will be at the cost of the party causing the damage. If heat is used to remove temporary tape, shielding of the 3M tape should be provided to prevent heat damage to the 3M tape.

620.14.5 Quality Assurance

The engineer should inspect 3M tape installations for workmanship. Discrepancies should be reported as soon as possible to the 3M subcontractor for corrective action and to minimize the time for continuation of unacceptable work. Acceptance of daily values should reflect good workmanship. If poor workmanship is found, then it should be fixed before quantities are accepted.

Prior to installation of 3M tape, 3M will provide a metal template to assist the engineer in checking the depth and width of grooves made for 3M tape installations. Note, it is critical for the performance of the 3M tape that the grooves be ground deep enough to adequately protect the 3M tape from snowplows.

If there is dispute on workmanship or other issues arise that cannot be worked out with the subcontractor to the engineer’s satisfaction, contact the 3M contact person established at the 3M pre-job meeting. If resolution cannot be reached with the 3M contact person, contact the Construction and Materials Division for assistance.

620.14.6 Acceptance

Final installation of 3M tape should be within the guidelines set forth in the 3M contract (Appendix A). Surface preparation, including grooving, and installation of marking materials outside of the allowed tolerances should be corrected as follows. Surface preparation, including grooving, beyond the allowed tolerances should be sealed. If emulsion asphalt is used, it should be diluted with equal parts of water at a rate in accordance with Sec 407 of the Standard Specifications to achieve total coverage, and excess emulsion should be blotted with sand prior to opening to traffic. Any 3M tape installations outside the given tolerances should be removed and replaced with new 3M tape material.

Initial minimum retroreflectivity for 380I-WR (Type 2 tape) or 380I-5WR (contrast tape) series tape should be 500 mcd/m2/lux. The initial minimum retroreflectivity for installations of 380I-WR should have an average minimum initial dry reflectivity of 500 mcd/m2/lux. Within 30 days after the material is placed, 3M will provide a minimum of 10 regularly spaced initial reflectivity readings per roadway segment in a mutually agreed format. Do not wait for the retroreflectivity value readings to accept 3M tape. If upon receipt, the retroreflectivity values are below the above values, notify the Construction and Materials Division for corrective action.

Minimum initial retroreflectivity of 450 mcd/m2/lux is required on the grooved epoxy system. This will be measured using a mobile retroreflectometer seven to sixty days after installation.

620.14.7 SiteManager Requirements

For all jobs that 3M has placed temporary paint in 2006 will continued to be paid under Contract Number J1D0690.

For all major, divided highway construction projects to be constructed between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2011, all 3M work should be paid under Contract Number 070313-001.

Under Contract Number 070313-001, 12 project numbers have been established. They are:

Project Number Description
J1P2145 For all 3M Tape work in District 1
J2P2145 For all 3M Tape work in District 2
J3P2145 For all 3M Tape work in District 3
J4P2145 For all 3M Tape work in Urban District 4
J4P2145B For all 3M Tape work in Rural District 4
J5P2145 For all 3M Tape work in District 5
J6P2145 For all 3M Tape work in District 6
J7P2145 For all 3M Tape work in District 7
J8P2145 For all 3M Tape work in Urban District 8
J8P2145 For all 3M Tape work in Rural District 8
J9P2145 For all 3M Tape work in District 9
J0P2145 For all 3M Tape work in District 10

When a 3M request has been submitted by a RE office, Construction and Materials staff will create line item numbers for each type of work that will be needed to complete 3M tape installation. The RE office will be notified of the line items assigned for that work. Line items will be set up as follows:

(a) The first job submitted under a project number will be assigned line item 0010 for 380I-WR tape, line item 0012 for 380I-5WR tape, line item 0014 for removal of rpms, and if payment for mobilization in accordance with Remobilization Requirements is required, the line item would be 0016.
(b) Subsequently, as jobs are added under a project number, the new line items will be by multiples of 0010, i.e., 002x, 003x, 004x, etc., where x equals 0 for 380I-WR tape, 2 for 380I-5WR tape, 4 for removal of rpms, and 6 for payment of approved remobilization.
(c) Supplemental Description 1 will identify the type of work, i.e., 3M 380I-WR, 380I-5WR, removal of rpms, or mobilization.
(d) Supplemental Description 2 will list the construction project job number.

Daily work reports in SiteManager should be created showing the daily quantity of 3M tape installed, rpms removed or applicable mobilization.

All change orders will be created by Construction and Materials staff, based on SiteManager daily work reports entered by RE offices.

620.14.8 Method of Measurement and Basis of Payment

Final measurement should be made to the nearest linear foot for the 3M grooved system installed. Where intermittent lines are installed, deductions should be made for the gaps in pavement marking.

Final measurement of the number of Type 2 RPMs removed by 3M should be made to the whole number.

Remobilization will be measured, per each, in accordance with Remobilization Requirements and reported as a change order under that project line item number in accordance with SiteManager Requirements.

Twice each month an estimate will be created by Construction and Materials of all 3M projects statewide. This will be sent to 3M and the controller’s office for payment purposes.

620.14.9 Project Tracking

3M has developed an internet site that provides the status of all 3M projects. The address for this is as follows:

620.14.10 Post-Construction Inspections

3M is responsible for performing retroreflectivity readings to evaluate warranty performance and to provide a copy of those readings to Construction and Materials for compliance verification.

It is not unusual through the first Spring freeze/thaw cycle for some isolated pieces of 3M tape to lose adhesion and to need replacement. These areas, when isolated, may be repaired by our maintenance forces. Selected maintenance sheds in each district will receive instruction and 3M tape for such repair purposes.

Excessive missing tape (such as 3 or more skips in a row) or poor retroreflectivity of existing tape will need to replaced by 3M. In those cases, the Construction and Materials Division will notify 3M of the need of repair. 3M upon notification will repair the damaged or missing tape within 45 days of notification.

Observation by MoDOT forces of tape missing or poor retroreflectivity, regardless of quantity, should be reported to the Construction and Materials Division with the following information:

(a) Route and direction.
(b) County.
(c) Original job number if known.
(d) Location.
(e) Name and phone number of person reporting the failure.
(f) Type and amount of failure observed.
(g) Indicate if immediate action needs to be taken because of the lack of striping.

b) Traffic control at all work locations.
c) Surface preparation, including grooving, and installation of marking materials shall be consistent with the marking alignment and groove length specifications attached to the Contract as Exhibit IV. All temporary paint shall be removed before the installation of the tape. If the required removal extends beyond the allowed groove dimensions, bituminous pavement shall be sealed with an approved sealant.
d) Materials used shall conform to the applicable specifications set forth in the Contractor’s recommendation for 380I-WR or contrast 380I-5WR series tape.
e) All applied markings will be recessed either by grooving the surface or by inlay of the marking during asphalt cement concrete paving operations.
f) Clean up and removal of debris and excess materials at the completion of installation.

(B) 3M Responsibilities:

3M will provide MoDOT a work plan to perform Services in a timely fashion that allows for efficient and cost effective installation of markings. At 3M’s option fixed or moving lane closures may be used in the work plan. Traffic control in the contractor work zone shall be in accordance with the figures included in Exhibit V.

The contractor will complete the application of pavement markings within 5 days of the confirmed roadway availability by the district Resident Engineer. This includes pavement markings for specific portions of roadway not less than five miles in length, as requested by the Commission as portions of resurfacing projects are completed and require pavement markings. If tape installation is not able to begin within this time frame or when climatic conditions restrict the application of tape markings, the contractor will apply, at its expense, temporary paint striping, four inches wide, which may remain in place for up to six months. The temporary paint striping shall have a minimum initial retroreflectivity of 150 mcd/m2/lux. The temporary paint shall be maintained with a minimum retroreflectivity of 100 mcd/m2/lux and at a 95 percent physical presence as defined in Exhibit I section (2) (D) paragraph 3. Should the contractor be notified to apply temporary pavement markings more than once to a specific job number, a mobilization fee of $1500 shall apply, not to exceed a maximum of two mobilization fees per job number. Mobilization charges will not apply on two-directional job numbers until after the second mobilization has been requested. Mobilization charges will not apply if the contractor has to reapply temporary paint markings that fall below the minimum criteria described above. The contractor agrees to remove MoDOT type 1 temporary raised pavement markers when located in proximity to where the tape is being installed at no charge to the Commission. The contractor agrees to remove MoDOT type 2 temporary raised pavement markers when located in proximity to where the tape is being installed at a unit cost as indicated in Exhibit III.

3M will provide MoDOT evidence of completion of Services for each project listed in this Exhibit.

(C) MoDOT Responsibilities

MoDOT will ensure that 3M has timely access to work sites. In addition MoDOT will allow use of temporary markings on projects listed in this Exhibit until such time as 3M can provide Services according to the submitted work plan per this agreement.

MoDOT will process and settle all 3M invoices by their due dates. MoDOT will respond promptly, and in any case, within five business days, to any 3M request for direction, information, approval, authorization or other decision reasonably necessary for 3M to perform the Services.

MoDOT will allow 3M to perform Services during daytime and nighttime hours consistent with existing MoDOT policy.

(D) Warranty and Remedy

3M warrants that the Services will be performed in a safe, professional and workmanlike manner consistent with the applicable industry standards. Materials warranty shall conform to the specification and added provisions listed herein. Remedy for failure to meet warranty conditions will be according to the following:

If 380I-WR or contrast 380I-5WR fails to meet initial retroreflectivity of 500 mcd/m2/lux, material will be replaced in kind.

Age of Tape Warranty Resolution at Retained Retroreflectivity Levels
>200 mcd/lux2 100-199 mcd/lux2 <100 mcd/lux2
0-2 years Meets Performance Level Replacement of material "in-kind"
