Recommendations and Comments

KyTC-Design	1108 Wendy Southworth Agency	U Undecided	I have sent an email to Kevin Martin and Matt Looney to determine how many of these were used for projects in the 2019 Lettings. I believe that we are already experimenting with this product but are waiting to find out if any were actually installed.	Nov 12, 2020	2809
KYTC	313 Michael T. Black, P.E. Agency	U Undecided	Could be utilized on experimental basis but will defer to Highway Design for final recommendation based on use, application, and proprietary inclusion in list of currently available options.	Oct 20, 2020	2780
KYTC	528 Wesley Glass Agency	U Undecided	Will defer to Design. Realize this is proprietary but one would expect to see material requirements/certifications for the HDPE used in manufacture of the cylinders. Possibly an oversight in submission/documentation but would seem important for performance, longevity (uv degradation), and surviving multiple strikes. Will defer to Design but the additional information provided concerning the material properties of HDPE component appear appropriate and acceptable.	Oct 14, 2020	2775
KyTC Construction	1092 Matt Simpson Agency	U Undecided	Looks good, but defer to Wesley on the polypropylene material concerns.	Oct 14, 2020	2774
KYTC	528 Wesley Glass Agency	N Disapprove	Will defer to Design. Realize this is proprietary but one would expect to see material requirements/certifications for the HDPE used in manufacture of the cylinders. Possibly an oversight in submission/documentation but would seem important for performance, longevity (uv degradation), and surviving multiple strikes.	Oct 12, 2020	2770
