<br />a. EXFECTEDSIGN LIFE <br />I. Expected sign life processes/practices will be established <br />utilizing a combination of expected sheeting warranty life <br />estimations of manufacturers/suppliers and "on the <br />ground" experience in the field at the city, The city will <br />develop and update as needed general criteria for life cycle <br />replacement of signs in companion with calibration review <br />and nighttime sign examinations. <br />1, The city began installing 3M Diamond Grade 3 <br />(003) sheeting in 2006. A system wide evaluation <br />will occur identifying all signs that are not scheduled <br />for replacement between now and Jan 2015. <br />Following review and planning, the city will <br />implement a program to replace all signs having <br />insufficient sheeting properties (engineer grade) <br />incrementally between now and Jan. 2015 to meet <br />the new Fed retro-reflectivity standards. Additional <br />planning (and implementation of plan) will occur to <br />assure compliance for the Jan 2018 deadline at the <br />same time. <br />2. The city will plan for (budget for) replacement of all <br />signs found via the nighttime sign assessment <br />process. The eventual goal will be that the majority <br />of retro-reflectivity related sign replacement will be <br />handled through the expected life cycle/sign life <br />process. <br />A.
