Vetted’s Implementation team has over a century of combined experience installing in state highway systems, county roadways, and some of the most stringent installation locations in the US. Our team can work with you through the requirements and hurdles in implementing these conditions.
Vetted Site Surveys
The Vetted Sales Team will hand off the pre-sale site survey to the Vetted Regional Director responsible for the territory. That site survey will contain a legend and individual site plan for each proposed location. Examples of that Site Survey are included below:
In-Person Final Site Survey
The Vetted Regional Director will schedule personnel for a final on-site walk to confirm all pre-site survey information and power availability where applicable. If new pole installations are required, the site will be flagged, and locates will be called.
Installations fees may include the following:
· Final In Person Site Survey
· Flagging / 811 Locates
· Installation of 16’ frangible pole w/ camera(s), battery backup, and top mount solar unit mounted.
· Installation of the camera(s), battery backup, and side mount solar panel on existing pole.
· Installation of the camera(s), equipment enclosure, and whip for AC plugin power
o Please note, Vetted installation technicians must coordinate with local ECs in most installation locations. Vetted personnel cannot make any AC connections or drill/bore material other than dirt, grass, loose gravel (or other non-diggable material). The proposal does not include electrical work requiring a licensed electrician unless explicitly stated as Subcontracted Labor – Electrical Installation.
· Installation of equipment needing standard technician truck and ladder.
· Standard MUTCD traffic control procedures. This does not include the maintenance of the traffic plan submitted as part of the proposal.

Additional fees may apply for some of the following but are not limited to.
Installations fees DO NOT (unless explicitly stated) include the following:
· Contracted EC labor for AC connections
· Providing 120VAC power to the pole if indicated power is available.
