KYTC	32 David Quarles Agency	U Undecided	Agree with Jeff Wolfe, "The decision needs to be made whether we will have an approved products list or just a standard detail that manufacturers will have to meet. This is an issue that the Retro committee (Materials, Maintenance, Traffic Operations) needs to resolve. "	Feb 07, 2011	756
Traffic Operations	118 Jeff Wolfe Agency	U Undecided	Based on the attachments, I cannot really tell what models are being requested for approval. There are several on the drawing. There is also an approval letter from another state that mentions a web-mount/butterfly reflector for guardrail. I see no other documentation about this reflector if it is intended to be approved. There also needs to be verification that the sheeting used for the reflectors is a type of sheeting that is listed on the Approved Products list. I saw no "specifics" as to the type/brand of sheeting that is used. As has been expressed in the past, barrier delineation is an issue that needs to be addressed by the Cabinet. The decision needs to be made whether we will have an approved products list or just a standard detail that manufacturers will have to meet. This is an issue that the Retro committee (Materials, Maintenance, Traffic Operations) needs to resolve.	Feb 07, 2011	754
