Dear Mr. Rutcnbeck 

This letter is in response to your June I, 20 16, request for the l'ecleral Highway Administration 

(fl-IW A) to review a roadside safety device, hardwa re, or system for eligibility for 

reimbursement under the Federal-aid highway program. This FHWA letter of eligibility is 

assigned FHW A control number WZ-345 and is valid until a subsequent letter is issued by 

FHW A that expressly references this device. 

Decision 

The following devices are eligible, with details provided in the form whi ch is attached as an 

integral part of this letter: 

• Custom-Pak Delineator 28 fnch 

Scope of this Letter 

To be found eligible for Federal-aid funding, new roadside safety devices should meet the crash 

test and evaluation criteri a contained in the American Association of State Highway and 

Transportation Officials' (AASHTO) Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). 

However, FHWA, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and lhe U.S. Government do 

not regul ate the manufacture of roadside safety devices. Eligibility fo r reimbursement w1der the 

Federal-aid highway program does not establish approval, certification or endorsement of the 

device for any particular purpose or use. 

This Jetter is not a determination by FHWA. DOT. or the U.S. Government that a vehicle crash 

involving the device will result in any particular outcome. nor is it a guarantee of the in-service 

performance of this device. Proper manufacturing, inslallation, and maintenance are required in 

order for this device to function as tested. 

Thjs finding of eligibility is limited to the crash worthiness of the system and does not cover other 

structural features, or confom1ity with the Manual on Uni form Traffic Control Devices. 
2 

Eligibility for Reimbursement 

Based solely on a review of crash test results and certifications submitted by the manufacturer, 

and the crash test laboratory, FHWA agrees that the device described herein meets the crash test 

and evaluation criteria of the AASHTO MASH. Therefore, the device is eligible for 

reimbursement under the Federal-aid highway program if installed under the range oftested 

conditions. 

Name of system: Custom-Pak Delineator 28 Inch 

Type of system: Work Zone Delineator 

Test Level: MASH Test Level 3 (TL3) 

Testing conducted by: KARCO Inc. 

Date ofrequest: June 1, 2016 

Date initially acknowledged: June 15, 2016 

Date of completed package: November 17, 2016 

The FHW A concurs with the recommendation ofthe accredited crash testing laboratory as stated 

within the attached form. 

Full Description of the Eligible Device 

The device and supporting documentation, including reports ofthe crash tests or other testing 

done, videos of any crash testing, and/or drawings of the device, are described in the attached 

form. 

Notice 

Ifa manufacturer makes any modification to any oftheir roadside safety hardware that has an 

existing eligibility letter from FHW A, the manufacturer must notify FHW A of such modification 

with a request for continued eligibility for reimbursement. The notice of all modifications to a 

device must be accompanied by: 

o 	 Significant modifications - For these modifications, crash test results must be 

submitted with accompanying documentation and videos. 

o 	 Non-signification modifications - For these modifications, a statement from the 

crash test laboratory on the potential effect ofthe modification on the ability of 

the device to meet the relevant crash test criteria. 

The FHW A determination of continued eligibility for the modified hardware will be based on 


whether the modified hardware will continue to meet the relevant crash test criteria. 


Any user or agency relying on this eligibility letter is expected to use the same designs, 


specifications, drawings, installation and maintenance instructions as those submitted for review. 


You are expected to certify to potential users that the hardware furnished has the same chemistry, 


mechanical properties, and geometry as that submitted for review, and that it will meet the test 


and evaluation criteria of the MASH.

Issuance of this letter docs not convey property rights of any sort or any exclusive privilege. 

This letter is based on the premise that information and reports submitted by you are accurate 

and correct. We reserve the right to modify or revoke this letter if: (I) there arc any inaccuracies 

in the inI01mation submitted in support of your request for this letter, (2) the qualification testing 

was flawed. (3) in-service performance or other in formation reveals safety problems. (4) the 

system is significantly di ncrent from the version that was crash tested. or (5) any other 

information indicates that the letter was issued in e1Tor or othern·ise does not reflect full and 

complete information about the crash worthiness of the system. 

Standard Provisions 

• 	 To prevent misunderstanding by oti1ers, this letter of eligibility designated as FHWA 

control number WZ-345 shall not be reproduced except in full. This letter and the test 

documentation upon which it is based are public information. All such letters and 

documentation may be reviewed upon request. 

• 	 This letter shall not be construed as authorization or consent by FIIWA to use. 

manufacture, or sell any patented system for which the applicant is not the patent holder. 

• 	 Ifthe subject device is a patented product ii may be considered to be proprietary. If 

proprietary systems are specified by a highway agency for use on Federal-aid projects: 

(a) they must be supplied tluough competitive bidding with equally suitable unpatented 

items; (b) the highway agency must certify that they are essential for synchronization 

with the ex isting highway facilities or 1ha1 no equally suitable alternative exists; or (c) 

they must be used for research or for a distincti ve type of construction on relatively short 

sections of road for experimental purposes. Our regulations concerning proprietary 

products arc contained in Title 23. Code of Federal Regulations. Section 635.4 11.

Test Date 2-15-2016- KARCO Test #TRP36039-01-NC Complete Report. MASH 

Test 3-71 Involves a 11 OOC passenger car 

impacting the dellneator at a nominal 

speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) and a critical 

impact angle of0° and 90° with the 

centerline ofthe vehicle aligned with the 

centerline ofthe delineator. This test is 

primarily Intended to evaluate behavior of 

the delineator during high-speed Impacts. 

For this test a 201 OKia Rio weighing 2,471.2 

lbs (1,121.0 kg) impacted two delineators 

spaced 65.5 ft. (20.0 m) apart. The first 

impacted delineator was set at 0° and was 

impacted at a velocity of 66.62 mph (107.21 

km/h). The second delineator was set at 90° 

and was impacted at a velocity of65.30 

mph (105.09 km/h). Upon Impact, both the 

0° and 90° delineators detached from their 

respective bases and were dragged 

underneath the vehicle. The test vehicle did 

not sustain any deformation due to either of 

the impacts with the Dellneator 28". 

The Delineator 28° passed all evaluation 

criteria for MASH Test 3-71.

3-72 (2270P) 

Test Date 2-15-2016- KARCOTest #TRP36039-05-NC. MASH Test 3-72 involves a 

2270P pickup truck Impacting the 

delineator at a nominal speed of 62 mph 

(100 km/h) and a critical impact angle of 0° 

and 90° with the centerline ofthe vehicle 

aligned with the centerline ofthe 

delineator. This test Is primarily Intended to 

evaluate behavior ofthe dellneator during 

high-speed Impacts. 

For this test a 2010 RAM 1500 weighing 

5,103.7 lbs (2,315.0 kg) Impacted two 

delineators spaced 65.6 ft. (20.0 m) apart. 

The first Impacted delineator was set at o• 

and was Impacted at a velocity of61.71 

mph (99.31 km/h). The second delineator 

was set at 90° and was impacted at a 

velocity of 61.24 mph (98.56 km/h). Upon 

impact, both the o• and 90° dellneators 

detached from their respective bases and 

were dragged underneath the vehicle. The 

test vehicle did not sustain any deformation 

due to either of the impacts with the 

Delineator 28". 

The Delineator 28° passed all evaluation 

criteria for MASH Test 3-72.
