REVISION OF SECTION 104
TRAFFIC AND PARKING CONTROL
Section 104 of the Standard Specifications is hereby revised as follows:
Subsection 104.04 shall include the following.
It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to clear parking from the streets when such parking will
interfere with the work. Prior to work that requires the street(s) to be closed to parking and/or
traffic, the street(s) shall be posted for "NO PARKING". The placement of these signs shall take
place at least 24 hours prior to the commencement of work and shall clearly show the type of
work, and the day, date and times that the message on the sign is in effect. (For example, if a
street is to be patched on Wednesday, July 2, the street shall be posted no later than Tuesday, July
1, by 7:00 a.m. with a sign that reads similar to "NO PARKING, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 7:00
A.M. TO 6:00 P.M., PATCHING.) See sample "NO PARKING" sign. “NO PARKING” signs
shall remain in place until the street is opened to traffic and all clean up operations completed.
All information on the "NO PARKING" signs, with the exception of the date, shall be in block
letters permanently affixed to the sign. Any information added to a sign, such as dates, shall be
clearly legible and written in block style letters.
Any work done by the Contractor without traffic control will not be paid for under the terms of
this Contract. The Contractor will not be paid for traffic control costs incurred during Contractor
caused delays.
At or near the end of each work day, a representative of the Contractor, the Traffic Control
Supervisor, and the City Representative will meet to discuss the progress of the work and the
placement of traffic control devices including "NO PARKING" signs. Any necessary adjustments
shall be made. The Contractor shall also review at this time with the City Representative the
proposed means of handling parking and traffic control for upcoming work. It is the responsibility
of the Contractor to minimize any inconvenience to the public as a result of this work.
At the above referenced meeting, the quantity of traffic control devices used that day shall be
agreed upon by the Contractor and the City Representative. The Contractor shall utilize forms
approved by the City for the tabulation of Traffic Control Devices utilized.
The Contractor shall maintain access at all times to all businesses within the project.
Any changes in the traffic control, including additional signs, barricades, and/or flaggers needed
in the field shall be immediately implemented as directed by the City Representative.
