APPENDIX C Installation Requirements for Apparatus

1. All Apparatus shall be installed by the Service Provider in accordance with the following requirements (where applicable):

1.1 Highways Standards;

1.3 all new and replacement Apparatus shall be sited so as to minimise, insofar as is reasonable and practicable, nuisance, danger and obstruction to all residents, businesses and users of the Project Network;

1.4 all Lighting Columns shall have a uniform appearance and be appropriate to and in keeping with the relevant location;

1.5 the Service Provider shall obtain the Authority's prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in respect of the aesthetics and appearance of all Apparatus to be replaced or installed in any heritage area (as designated by the Authority), in the area of the [Prestige Walking Network] or in, on, or about any listed building, civic building, monument, place of worship or other place or location requiring special lighting treatment;

1.6 all Apparatus, where painted or otherwise coated in a protective system as defined in Appendix F of Code of Practice for Highway Lighting Management, shall be painted or otherwise coated in the colours of the Authority as set out in Appendix [ ] to this part 1 of Schedule 3 (Output Specification) ;

1.7 all Apparatus shall be erected true and plumb;

1.8 the Service Provider shall attach an identification badge to all lighting columns, Illuminated Traffic Signs and Illuminated Bollards which shall clearly display

1.8.1 the unique reference number for that item of Apparatus;

1.8.2 the logos of the Authority and Service Provider; and

1.8.3 the free telephone number for the Helpdesk;

1.9 all Lighting Columns shall be sited at the rear of a verge or footway unless it is physically impossible to do so (as notified by the Service Provider to the Authority in the Annual Investment Programme) in which case the Authority (acting in its absolute discretion) shall specify where the Lighting Column is to be situated;

1.10 the Service Provider shall reconnect any Existing Apparatus that has its supply looped from Apparatus that is being replaced; and

1.11 where any [Private Cable Installations] need to be altered the cables shall be replaced rather than jointed and extended.

Each joint position shall be identified on site and a record of the type, route, depth and location of cables and joints shall be recorded on the Management Information System in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule 3 (Output Specification).
