NY DOT requires them on state highways. It has a big shock absorber on the rear end, and you park it at the rear of your work area. If someone doesn't change lanes like they're supposed to they hit the crash truck.

The spreadsheet I saw did not itemize traffic control and other such ancillary items. -Adam ________________________________ From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> on behalf of Trey Scarborough <t...@3dsc.co> Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2025 11:42 AM To: af@af.afmug.com <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cost of lashing onto strand This wouldn't be bad for a budgetary number it all depends on location, and what that includes. If its for a contractor that is bidding the whole construction its high for a contract crew to do just that and it includes all consumables Lashing, horseshoes, etc not bad for many urban or crap environment areas. You have to remember in some areas you have to have traffic control and a crash truck so your paying a off duty police officer and a dump truck driver to sit there in the vehicle all day and eat donuts...

I just saw someone's cost analysis spreadsheet showing $1.30/ft for lashing. The actual cable is separate. The strand installation is separate. That's $1.30/ft for just lashing. Has it really gone up 5x in 10 years or is this guy getting screwed? -Adam ________________________________ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
