CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

801.03General Requirements 70

The applicable requirements of the MUTCD shall apply to the installation and materials for traffic control devices subject to the requirements of 107.08 and 107.12. When the plans do not include a maintenance of traffic plan, the Engineer will provide such a plan to the Contractor. The Contractor shall be responsible for the field layout, placement, operation, maintenance, and removal of temporary traffic control devices.

A worksite traffic supervisor certified by the American Traf fic Safety Service Association, ATSSA, or approved equal certifying organization, shall direct all field layout, placement, operation, inspection, ma intenance, and removal of temporary traffic control devices. The certified worksite traffic supervisor, CWTS, shall ensure 80 that all traffic control de vices, except temporary concrete barrier, meet acceptable standards as outlined in the plans, specifications, and ATSSA’s “Quality Standards for Temporary Traffic Control Devices” prior to installation. The CWTS shall also, prior to installation, ensure that all traffic control devices can be installed in accordance with the plans, specifications, and the MUTCD. All problems shall be reported to the Engineer so a resolution can be worked out prior to installation. The field layout will be reviewed and is subject to approval by the Engineer prior to placement of any temporary traffic control devices. The CWTS shall be present for the initial setup and all phase changes during the life of the project. The CWTS may designate responsible 801.03

Contractor personnel to perform day to day operation, inspection, and maintenance of 90 the temporary traffic control devices. These responsible personnel shall work under the direction of the CWTS and their names shall be given to the Engineer on the project. A copy of the CWTS’s certification shall be provided to the Engineer prior to the start of construction or placement of te mporary traffic control devices or if the worksite traffic supervisor changes.

Regulatory control devices shall be erected only as directed.

Advisory speeds to be posted will be determined by the Department.

The names and telephone numbers of the superintendent and one other responsible employee shall be furnished. Such employees shall be on call or available at night, on weekends, or during other non-working periods to repair or replace all traffic control devices which may become damaged or inoperative.

When traffic lanes are restricted and when specified as a pay item, a patroller shall inspect and maintain traffic control devices. The patroller shall patrol the construction zone and shall immediately correct, maintain , and repair traffic control devices or notify the Contractor designated persons for immediate repair to such traffic control devices. A full time patroller shall be on duty during periods when work is not in 110 progress.

Temporary traffic control devices shall be maintained to ensure visibility and to protect the public. All reflective sheeting ba ckgrounds and lights shall be kept clean of foreign matter. The Contractor shall complete and submit a “Traffic Control Device Report” when a temporary traffic control device has been installed, removed, relocated, repaired, or at a minimum of once per week based on field observations. This report is provided in the Proposal for the contract and shall be used to ensure that the traffic control devices are inspected daily. The report shall be completed or reviewed by the CWTS. Each report shall be signed by the person who performed the 120 inspection and shall be initialed by the CWTS that it was reviewed. The Engineer will sign and date the report when received.

801.10

876

alignment may be altered, with approval, to a 10:1 flare rate with a 20 ft minimum410

offset from the edge of the through traffic lane to the approaching end of the flared

temporary traffic barrier. If field conditions are such that that the 10:1 flare rate cannot

be utilized, the tapered alignment may be further altered, with approval, to a 6:1 flare

rate with the 20 ft minimum offset. Flare rates for ends of temporary traffic barriers at

locations where a lane of traffic is not being closed to traffic or where the lane has

already been closed shall be the same as above, however the minimum offset from the

edge of the through traffic lane may be 10 ft. The use of flare rates sharper than those

shown on the plans may require additional traffic control devices as directed.

Type 2 barriers shall not be intermixed with Type 1 or Type 3 barriers in any run.420
