Manage-IT

Harris County Toll Road Authority is using an internet-based software “Manage-IT” to maintain consistent administrative and technical control for its projects throughout the County. The Contractor is required to use Manage-IT on this project in accordance with procedures provided (the User’s Guide and Quick Reference Guide in Construct-It under Help link) by the county. Manage-IT stores electronic project correspondence and related project documents such as RFI’s (requests for information) and submittals. Manage-IT provides the ability to view contract bid items/pay estimates status, submittal status, RFI status, and change order history, etc.

At no cost to the Contractor, the County will provide system login account(s) and provide training for Contractor personnel. The Contractor must update Manage-IT with any new or changed information within 24 hours of that information becoming known to Contractor.

Therefore, the Contractor must have access to a computer with internet access and a scanner to use Manage-IT.

SPECIAL PROVISION

Restrictions on Use of Roads

The attention of the Contractor is directed to ordinances and regulations of local municipal or county governments which limit the type of the gross weight of motor vehicles or construction equipment operating on public roads and streets or which restrict the use of such equipment on certain streets. There may also be restrictions on the use of privately owned roads in the vicinity of the Project.

It will be the responsibility of prospective Bidders to investigate any restrictions on the use of, or limitations in routing, size of equipment, or gross vehicle weights which may be subject to regulation by local governments or restrictions by private owners.

Attention of prospective Bidders is also invited to the provisions of City of Houston Ordinance No. 62-888, dated June 20, 1962, which requires the licensing of vehicles which are used in the transportation of earth, sand, shell, gravel and similar construction or excavated materials.

The Project extends through and is situated within the legal jurisdictions of several municipalities and Harris County. It is the Contractor's responsibility to determine which ordinances, rules, and regulations apply to and/or control the conduct of the Work, and the Contractor shall conduct his operations to conform with same. The Contractor's attention is particularly directed to, and Contractor agrees to comply with, all applicable ordinances, rules, and regulations establishing standards for lane closure restrictions, construction nuisance abatement, and the maintenance and protection of public traffic.

The Contractor shall immediately comply with all directives of the Authority relating to the maintenance and protection of public traffic.

Unless otherwise shown in the plans and prior to beginning the Work, the Contractor shall permanently assign to the Project a self-propelled power broom and a self-propelled water wagon, together with adequate personnel to operate each. Neither of these pieces of equipment shall be removed from the Project without the written consent of the Authority. This equipment shall have priority assignment to dust and mud abatement and control measures within the project's right-of-way and adjacent streets, parking lots, and neighborhoods. The Contractor shall, when ordered by the Authority and/or by an authorized municipal or county official, take immediate action utilizing the herein specified equipment and personnel, together with any additional equipment and personnel which the Authority directs him to employ or which is otherwise necessary to the Contractor's full compliance with the terms hereof, to remove dust, mud, and other debris from the Project right-of-way and adjacent areas and/or to relieve any public nuisance created by the Work. No additional payment will be made for this work or equipment; it will be considered incidental to the various bid items.
