Flush mounting base with vandal-resistant stainless steel fasteners; nominal overall dimensions of 36 inches height, approximately 14.25 inches width (at curved profile), and 6 inches base depth/footprint
Wet locations listed (CSA/ANSI/UL 1598 and UL 8750 compliant), IP65 ingress protection rating for dust-tight and water-jet resistant performance
Textured architectural powder coat finish over chromate conversion coating for enhanced corrosion resistance (standard bronze or black; custom colors allowable)
Operating temperature range of at least -40°C to +50°C, with minimum 5-year warranty on components
Designed for high-traffic outdoor applications including pedestrian pathways, parking areas, landscape accents, and site perimeter lighting

Salient Technical Characteristics for the base:
Heavy-duty die-cast aluminum adaptor plate (minimum thickness to ensure structural rigidity, typically 1/2 inch or greater) with corrosion-resistant finish suitable for outdoor/wet locations
Universal slot pattern accommodating common existing anchor bolt configurations: 3-bolt at 120°, 4-bolt at 90°, or 2-bolt at 180° layouts; bolt circle diameters ranging from approximately 3.5 inches to 5 inches
Slots sized to accept 1/4-inch to 3/8-inch diameter anchor bolts; includes provisions for large-diameter field-drilled holes to install new anchors if existing bolts are damaged or mismatched
Integrated stainless steel leveling bolts (minimum 4) with built-in leveling bubbles (positioned at 90° orientations) for precise plumb alignment of the adaptor plate prior to bollard mounting
Enables direct mounting of new bollard fixture to the adaptor plate without concrete demolition, anchor bolt extraction, or foundation modification, minimizing site disruption and labor
Compatible with round and square/curved-profile bollard bases for retrofit to legacy or mismatched installations from various sources
Vandal-resistant design suitable for high-traffic pedestrian and vehicle-adjacent areas
No-demolition retrofit capability preserving existing concrete foundation integrity while allowing upgrade to modern LED bollards
Fixtures and accessories shall meet or exceed all salient characteristics listed above without deviation. Or equal submissions must demonstrate compliance with every bullet point via submittals including cut sheets, photometric reports (IES files verifying Type III full-cutoff distribution and lumen output), and material certifications. No exceptions or alternates permitted unless pre-approved in writing.
