AZ LTAP owns two retroreflectometers, a Road Vista Model 922 Handheld with GPS capability, and a Stripe Master 2 Touch Retroreflectometer that we loan free of charge to contributing member agencies. An extension pole is used to extend the operators reach an additional nine feet and includes a remote trigger with digital display, allowing the operator to take multiple readings without having to retract the pole each time.
Program Policies
How to Borrow Equipment
- AZ LTAP will take requests from agencies by phone at 602.712.4050 or by email at [email protected] on a first-come, first-served basis. Agencies will be required to provide an estimated length of use (a maximum of two weeks) and a schedule to pick up and return the equipment. Because the retroreflectometer is worth approximately $15,000, normal shipping will not be permitted. Arrangements will need to be made for agencies to pick up the device, for LTAP to deliver the device, or some combination of these. A waitlist will be maintained for each piece of equipment on loan and equipment will be available to the next agency on the list upon its return. Each agency is responsible for returning the equipment to AZ LTAP. A late fee of $25 per day will be assessed if not returned on time.
- To borrow AZ LTAP's retroreflectometer, simply complete the Equipment Loan Agreement form and call 602.712.4050 or send an email to [email protected] to reserve it on the calendar.
Proper Use and Handling
Agencies will be required to uphold any software licensing agreements established with the equipment loan. Agencies will be required to maintain the equipment in a secure and locked location during transportation and storage. Due to high value of the devices, the agency will be required to reimburse AZ LTAP if reported lost or stolen. Agencies are also expected to cover expenses related to obvious physical damage to the equipment.
Late Returns Fee
The borrowing agency will be charged a late fee of $25 per day will be charged for each day beyond the agreed upon delivery return date.
Damages Fee
The borrowing agency is required to reimburse AZ LTAP for the repair or replacement cost of any equipment that receives obvious intentional or negligent damage.
In the case of obvious accidental damage, the borrowing agency is required to reimburse AZ LTAP for any repairs required to return the equipment to its best possible operation. If the equipment cannot be repaired, the borrowing agency is required to reimburse AZ LTAP for 50% of the replacement cost of the equipment.
Lost/Stolen Fee
If an item is stolen, the borrowing agency is required to file a police report and to provide a copy of that report and any other related documentation to AZ LTAP.
If an item is lost, the borrowing agency is responsible for 100 percent of the replacement cost since the equipment is required to be stored in a secure storage location (see Proper Use and Handling).
A copy of the AZ LTAP Equipment Loan Program Policies will be provided to all borrowing agencies. A signature is required from the borrowing agency at the time of delivery/receipt recognizing the AZ LTAP borrowing policies and terms.
