ITEM 8 “PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS”

No more than 2 miles of non-surfaced roadway will be allowed at any time.

The Engineer may consider extending the 2-mile limit or allow alternating 2-mile sections of concurrent work, only if the Contractor can demonstrate adequate workforce, equipment, material deliveries, work plan, and quality of work sufficient to handle the longer work zones. If the 2 miles of non-surfaced roadway are extended by the Engineer in writing, this will not exempt the Contractor from not exceeding the 5-minute delay and any additional signing/traffic control will be considered subsidiary to Item 502, Barricades, Signs, and Traffic Handling. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the Contractor fails to adequately progress or protect the work, or minimize disruption to traffic, the 2-mile limit may be reduced, as directed. There will be no additional compensation to the Contractor for the non-surfaced roadway limit being reduced.

By noon of each Wednesday, provide the Engineer a written outline of the daily work schedule for the following week. Include in the outline the times and places for proposed traffic control changes, lane and shoulder closures, and moving operations or other operations that affect traffic on the roadway.

Prepare Progress Schedule Bar Chart

Work may commence immediately upon issuance of authorization, and early initiation is both permitted and expected when conditions allow. The 90‑day delayed‑start provision under SP008‑005 is intended solely to accommodate Contractor mobilization and does not constitute a deferral of work activities.

Sheet: 4B

County: BRAZOS, ETC.

2026 General Notes Sheet F

This allowance should not be interpreted as a restriction on beginning work earlier, nor as justification for delaying progress when resources are available.

ITEM 502 “BARRICADES, SIGNS AND TRAFFIC HANDLING”

Where shown on applicable TCP standards, channelizing devices on the centerline are required at all times; including when a pilot vehicle is used to lead traffic. Mount a G20-4 sign a minimum of 4’to the bottom of the sign from the ground at a conspicuous location on the rear of the vehicle.

The Contractor Force Account “Safety Contingency” that has been established for this project is intended to be utilized for work zone enhancements, to improve the effectiveness of the Traffic Control Plan, that could not be foreseen in the project planning and design stage. These enhancements will be mutually agreed upon by the Engineer and the Contractor’s Responsible Person based on weekly or more frequent traffic management reviews on the project. The Engineer may choose to use existing bid items if it does not slow the implementation of enhancement.

Law enforcement assistance will be required for this project and is expected to be required for major traffic control changes and lane closures.

Coordinate with local law enforcement and arrange for law enforcement as directed or agreed by the Engineer. Complete the daily tracking form provided by the department and submit invoices that agree with the tracking form for payment at the end of each month approved services were provided.

Patrol vehicles must be clearly marked to correspond with the officer’s agency and equipped with appropriate lights to identify them as law enforcement. For patrol vehicles not owned by a law enforcement agency, markings will be retroreflective and legible from 100 ft. from both sides and the rear of the vehicle. Lights will be high intensity and visible from all angles.

Cancel law enforcement personnel when the event is canceled. Cancellation, minimums or “show up” fees will not be paid when cancellation is made 12 hours prior to beginning of the event. Failure to cancel within 12 hours will not be cause for payment for cancellation, minimums, or "show up" time. Payment of actual “show up” time to the event site due to cancellation will be on a case-by-case basis at a maximum of 2 hours per officer.
