2051.3CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

A Designation and Use of Haul Roads If the Contract specifies Maintenance and Restoration of haul Roads as a Contract Item, do not haul Material from any source until the Commissioner designates the haul R oad from that source as a Designated Haul Road. After the Commissioner designates the haul Road from a source, haul all Materials from that source over that Road. Make all vehicle trips, both loaded or unloaded, between Material sources and the Project on a Designated Haul Road.

If the Contract is with Department for State trunk Highway Projects, select a proposed haul Road and notify the Engineer of the selection. Within 15 Calendar Days after receipt of notification of the proposed haul Road, the Commissioner will determine whether the proposed Road is acceptable for use as a Designated Haul Road. The Commissioner may designate the Road as a temporary trunk Highway haul Road. If the Contract is with or for a governmental agency other than Department, select a proposed haul Road and notify the engineer representing that governmental agency of the selection. Within 15 Calendar Days after receipt of notification of the proposed haul Road, the Engineer will determine whether the proposed Road is acceptable for use as a Designated Haul Road. If the Road is acceptable, the Engineer may approve the Road as a Designated Haul Road. After a haul Road is officially designated, the Contractor may select a different Road for official designation using the same procedure specified in this section. If the haul Road designation changes and any of the above described Materials were hauled over the previously Designated Haul Road, the Contractor shall restore the previously Designated Haul Road to the original condition. A.1 Bituminous Roadways Reimburse local government agencies for Designated Haul Road use on bituminous Roadways in accordance with the following:

agencies

capacity less than 9 tons, reimburse the local government agency for Designated Haul Road use at a rate of $0.01 per ton per mile of Material hauled

payment due and computations from the Engineer

The Department will not require payment if the amount due to an individual local government agency is less than $500.00. The Department will not require the Contractor to reimburse local government agencies for concrete surfaced Roadways. A.2 Maintenance and Restoration While hauling operations are in progress, maintain the Designated H aul Road as approved by the Engineer. This work includes application of water, bituminous Material, or calcium chloride to the Road surface as necessary to alleviate dust nuisance and eliminate traffic hazards. After the completion of hauling operations over a Designated Haul Road, perform one of the following:

condition existing at the start of the hauling operations

government agency and the Engineer for the restoration of that Designated Haul Road by the local government agency The fact that other traffic used the Designated Haul Road concurrently with the Contractor’s Material hauling operation does not relieve the Contractor of the obligation to maintain and restore the Designated Haul Road as required in this section. If other contractors,

performing Highway construction under a contract with the same governmental agency, haul Materials over the same Road concurrently with the Contractor’s Material hauling operation, the Engineer will determine the amount of maintenance and restoration obligation to be shared by each. The Engineer will determine the kind and amount of maintenance and restoration W ork required to restore the Designated Haul Road to a condition equal to the condition existing at the time the hauling operations started. The Engineer’s decision is final, binding, and conclusive. When hauling over any Designated Haul Road is completed and the Contractor has restored the Road or has compensated the governmental agency for the restoration as required, the Engineer will accept such restoration or concur in such financial settlement for the restoration of the Designated Haul Road in writing, and such acceptance shall relieve the Contractor of additional obligation in connection with the restoration of the D esignated Haul Road.
