	:'''E. Temporary Removable Pavement Marking Tape. '''Temporary removable tape is used to delineate traffic lanes during construction. Preformed removable tape does not require special equipment to install or remove, however material costs are high, so it may only be cost effective in small quantities. The primary advantage is that the removal of this tape is inexpensive and will not scar the pavement. The primary disadvantages of tape are the higher material cost and weather constraints for installation. When establishing contract times and milestones, the potential timing of paving activities and weather constraints should be considered when selecting temporary pavement marking. A pay item for removal of the marking tape will be included if removal is required. Marking tape shall be applied as per manufacturer’s recommendation.		:'''E.

	The bead guns on the stripers should be calibrated frequently to assure the proper application rate of beads is being applied to the painted line. The frequency of these calibrations is dependent on the bead guns and their ability to maintain a constant flow of beads. The calibration should be accomplished using an appropriate bead calibration kit. These kits contain a table to calculate the appropriate flow of beads for a given speed of the striper. This calibration should be performed a minimum of once every week of operation.
