Materials

This section provides guidance on the recommended materials to be used for quick build projects, including striping and surface treatments, options for vertical barriers, and signs. Note, these material recommendations may differ from those on the FDOT Approved Products List (APL) due to the often temporary nature of quick build projects. Nevertheless, all materials recommended within this guide have been widely used and tested by agencies across the country. As quick build implementations are transitioned to more permanent installations, more coordination with the APL and Innovative Product List (IPL) will become necessary.

Materials may be sourced in a variety of ways, including via term or rapid response contracts, city purchase cards, as an in-kind donation, or through consultant reimbursement. Sourcing will depend on the scale of the project and the overall material cost. When possible, project managers should seek opportunities to reuse materials between quick build projects.
