630-A Commentary

630.1 SCOPE

This specification covers the requirements for the installation of sectional steel high mast lighting poles
complete with raising and lowering equipment, including mechanical and electrical components.

630.1.1 Specification Significance and Use

This specification is written as a municipal-oriented specification. Municipal-oriented specifications are

developed to reflect the administration, testing, and payment policies, procedures, and practices of many
municipalities in Ontario.

Use of this specification or any other specification shall be according to the Contract Documents.

Page 2
630.1.2 Appendices Significance and Use

Appendices are not for use in provincial contracts as they are developed for municipal use, and then, only
when invoked by the Owner.

Appendices are developed for the Owner’s use only.

Inclusion of an appendix as part of the Contract Documents is solely at the discretion of the Owner.
Appendices are not a mandatory part of this specification and only become part of the Contract
Documents as the Owner invokes them.

Invoking a particular appendix does not obligate an Owner to use all available appendices. Only invoked
appendices form part of the Contract Documents.

The decision to use any appendix is determined by an Owner after considering their contract
requirements and their administrative, payment, and testing procedures, policies, and practices.
Depending on these considerations, an Owner may not wish to invoke some or any of the available
appendices.

630.2 REFERENCES

When the Contract Documents indicate that municipal-oriented specifications are to be used and there is
a municipal-oriented specification of the same number as those listed below, references within this
specification to an OPSS shall be deemed to mean OPSS.MUNI, unless use of a provincial-oriented
specification is specified in the Contract Documents. When there is not a corresponding municipal-
oriented specification, the references below shall be considered to be the OPSS listed, unless use of a
provincial-oriented specification is specified in the Contract Documents.

This specification refers to the following standards, specifications, or publications:
