The Contractor shall provide necessary traffic control devices to ensure the safety of the
workers, traveling public, and property owners on this project. The above referenced
specifications, guidelines, and provisions herein provide minimum requirements; the
Contractor may be directed to expand upon the Traffic Control Plan if conditions warrant.
All signs, channelizing devices and arrow boards as required by the Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices, including part six, as amended, and the above Standard Sheets
shall be in place prior to moving any equipment onto the pavement.
The Contractor shall provide trained personnel, including Uniformed Officers and
Flaggers in accordance with Section 618, to be responsible for the maintenance of traffic.
All materials furnished and used for maintenance of traffic, shall be required to be
certified for reflectivity. Damaged devices shall be replaced as directed by the Engineer
without additional compensation. Regardless of action that may be taken or not taken by
the Engineer, the Contractor shall be solely responsible for the appropriateness,
reflectivity and condition of all materials provided as well as placement and maintenance
of traffic control elements.
The Contractor shall submit a Traffic Control Plan prior to work on arterial roadways.
This Traffic Control Plan will describe how the Contractor proposes to:
e Stage the work to maintain and control traffic during the lowering of structures
within paved areas; milling operations; and paving operations.
e Maintain access to all residences and businesses through the duration of
construction.
e Lane usage during various phases of work will be described. A minimum of 11-
foot width shall be provided for all lanes open to traffic.
e A minimum of one lane in each direction shall be provided at all times. Should
the Contractor consider it necessary to reduce this requirement to alternating one-
way use, the constraints justifying such a restriction must be explained fully. If
approved at any location in this contract, the use of alternating one-way traffic
will be for a short duration only.
e The Contractor shall describe in the Traffic Control Plan minimum conditions
which will be provided at the end of working hours. At a minimum, if a vertical
break of more than one inch exists along the direction of travel and vehicles are
operating on the higher surface, a pavement fillet will be provided along the
break. The pavement fillet shall be constructed with a slope of 12 inches
horizontal for each one inch vertical.
e Full lane use shall be maintained for weekend and holiday periods.
