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.
The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible to assure that all materials furnished and used
for maintenance of traffic are certified for reflectivity. The CONTRACTOR shall
replace damaged devices without additional compensation. Although the ENGINEER
may direct the CONTRACTOR to replace damaged devices, the CONTRACTOR has
full responsibility to inspect all materials and devices for maintenance of traffic and
correct any deficiencies on a daily basis.
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:
A. Stage the work to maintain and control traffic during the lowering of structures
within paved areas; milling operations; and paving operations.
B. Maintain access to all residences and businesses through the duration of
construction.
C. 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.
D. 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.
F. Full lane use shall be maintained for weekend and holiday periods.
REMOVAL OF DEBRIS AND SURPLUS MATERIAL
Neither debris nor surplus material including structures (frames, covers, and grates) shall
be deposited on private property or impede pedestrian ways.
Debris and surplus material shall be removed from the project area as promptly as
practical.
