Direct bury fiberglass poles shall be designed for soil conditions greater than or equal to 1,500 psi bearing capacity and AASHTO 100 mph wind speeds. Any deviations from these standards (including but not limited to: fill areas, steep slopes greater than 1:4, and saturated soils in water quality facilities) are considered non-standard structures and the foundation must be designed using site specific recommendations from a Geotechnical Engineer and the most current AASHTO Standard Specifications for Structural Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaires, and Traffic Signals with all interim revisions.

The State of Oregon has provided an interpretation of the National Electric Code (NEC) which allows direct connect street light design in specified circumstances. A single street light owned by a municipality that is directly fed from a utility power source does not require a formal service with breakers. This is one light from one power source with no additional load. It is allowed to have two lights from one power source if they are in separate conduits and they leave the power company box and go different directions. All single supplied street lights shall be controlled by photo -electric cell (PEC). Multiple street lights fed from a lighting circuit shall be controlled by a single master PEC that operates contactors in the service cabinet. 16. Single -feed street lights placed further than 50 feet from utility power source requires a junction box located next to the pole. Public Improvement Design Standards Manual, 2016 Page 2-26
