1. Purpose and Need

This memorandum presents guidelines for pre-determined allowable lane closure hours along any VDOT maintained roadway associated with all construction, maintenance, permits, and special events throughout Northern Virginia.

2. Background

The initial version of the lane closure guidelines was issued in April 2012 with a subsequent update issued in September 2016. Over the past eight years, in addition to new roadways and traffic signals accepted into the system, increased volumes and changes to traffic patterns, several significant roadway construction projects have been completed throughout the NOVA

District including, but not limited to, extensions of the I-95, I-395 and I-495 express lanes, I-66

ITB tolling program and the addition of new express lanes along I-66 OTB. As the guidelines are applied and implemented, modifications and updates to these guidelines become necessary.

Similar to previous versions, the modifications have been made based on available current daily traffic volumes; roadway characteristics; application on previous projects; and consideration of the effect to the traveling public for the lane closure(s) during certain time periods of the day.

These guidelines shall be used as a starting point for discussion at the project level. On large scale projects with robust community outreach and a Traffic Management Plan, these hours could be adjusted and extended. If project staff would like to modify the hours for interstates, primaries, major arterials or high-volume secondary roadways they must work with NOVA District Traffic

Operations staff for recommendations and obtain final approval from their functional ADA/ADE.

3. Effective Date

The guidelines are effective upon release. Please review existing project contracts and special limitation of operations and discuss the deviations from these hours with your functional

ADA/ADE.

4. Restriction of Operations:

In addition to the allowable lane closure hours specified in the tables, the restrictions listed below shall be followed.

4.1. Peak Period Lane Closures

Peak periods for all roadways shall universally be defined as the following hours:

• Monday through Thursday o 5:00 AM to 9:30 AM and o 3:00 PM to 7:30 PM

• Friday o 5:00 AM to 9:30 AM and o 2:00 PM to 7:30 PM

Any lane reductions (temporary or permanent) during those peak periods on roadways with an AADT equal to or above 5,000 vehicles require consultation with NOVA District

Traffic Operations, notification of NOVA Public Affairs and final approval from the functional

ADA/ADE.

Lane Closure Guidelines – 2/29/2024 VDOT – NOVA

5 | P a g e

4.2. Complete Roadway Closures

All complete road closures of any roadway and/or ramp for construction, maintenance or permit work requires consultation with NOVA District Traffic Operations and notification of

NOVA Public Affairs.

Allowable complete roadway closures shall be limited to no more than 20 minutes of intermittent stoppage for some specific work activities.

In addition to consultation with NOVA District Traffic Operations and Public Affairs notification, all complete roadway closures exceeding 20 minutes shall require coordination and final approval from the Functional ADA/ADE and proper advance notification for the traveling public.

If the complete closure duration exceeds 30 minutes, a signed detour route may also be required and approved separately by Traffic Engineering with an MOT and TMP.

4.3. General Restrictions

Lane closures of any kind will not be permitted during inclement weather or emergency situations.

Lane and/or shoulder closures shall not begin if heavy traffic or significant queuing and backups are already present along the roadway(s).

All lane and/or shoulder closures shall be completely removed on a daily and/or nightly basis with lanes being fully open to traffic at all times beyond the allowable and/or approved lane closure hours.

The applicant/contractor shall be properly trained and responsible for maintaining all project lane closure information or any work within VDOT right-of-way on LCAMS and

VaTraffic / 511 throughout the duration of the project in accordance with IIM-OD-16-03, dated December 16, 2016.

All requests for deviation from the allowable lane closure hours must be submitted to

VDOT NOVA District Traffic Operations for review a minimum of fourteen (14) days in advance of work for consideration.

4.4. Construction in Residential Subdivisions

Road work within residential subdivisions and/or cul-de-sac streets should be conducted during daytime hours to avoid nighttime noise issues.

Extended daytime and all nighttime work shall adhere to any applicable local noise ordinances and require sufficient advance public notifications.

4.5. Express Lanes (I-66 OTB, I-95, I-395 and I-495)

All I-66 OTB, I-95, I-395 and I-495 Express Lane closures shall be coordinated with and require separate approvals from the applicable Express Lanes Operator. While this approval process may run concurrently with VDOT approval, advance notification with the

Lane Closure Guidelines – 2/29/2024 VDOT – NOVA

6 | P a g e specific operator is needed. Closures impacting access points to and from the Express

Lanes from other roadways shall also require coordination with the operator.

Complete road closures of I-66 OTB, I-95, I-395 and I-495 Express Lanes will be limited to 30 minutes or less.

4.6. Interstate Ramps

All interstate ramps shall be limited to the same daytime and/or nighttime allowable lane closure hours as the adjacent interstate. For single lane ramps requiring a full closure to safely conduct work, hours will be restricted to the same nighttime full roadway closure hours of the adjacent interstate and require an approved signed detour route.

4.7. All Other Ramps

All other ramps not connected to an interstate shall be restricted to the same single lane closure hours as the adjacent roadway. Single lane ramps requiring a full closure to safely conduct work, hours will be limited to nighttime hours only and require an approved signed detour route.

4.8. Non-VDOT Maintained Roadways

All roadways not maintained by VDOT shall be required to notify and coordinate with the respective jurisdiction and/or entity overseeing the maintenance and operation of the respective roadway for approval. Non-VDOT maintained roadway include, but are not limited to, the following:

- George Washington Memorial Parkway the entire length of roadway between

Route 235 (Mount Vernon Memorial Highway) and I-495 o Maintained and operated by National Park Service/NPS

5. Exception Process:

When the need for extended lane closures beyond the limits of the applicable allowable hours becomes necessary, an email shall be submitted to the following email address for review and consideration:

NOVAlaneclosureexceptions@VDOT.Virginia.gov

All requests for extended lane closure hours require the following information for a thorough and timely response:

• Location

• Specific lanes to be closed

• Type of work

• Date(s)

• Time(s)

• Overall duration

Depending on the initial review, further discussion, analysis, reviews and/or coordination may be necessary. The process may also include the DTOD and other ADA/ADE’s as applicable. Once extended lane closure hours have been agreed upon and supported by NOVA District Traffic

Operations, a formal response will be provided. Depending on the type of closure and the roadway(s) impacted, a final approval may be required from the functional ADA/ADE or an authorized designee.

Additionally, all approved extended lane closures should be coordinated through NOVA District

Public Affairs and the applicable Land Use and Transportation Director’s office for situational awareness.

Once the exception process has been completed and it was determined that NOVA District Traffic

Operations was unable to support nor recommend the closure for approval, the applicant can then discuss directly with their functional ADA/ADE. The functional ADA/ADE can choose to override

NOVA District Traffic Operations recommendation and approve the closure taking full ownership and responsibility for the direction.

Note: The U.S. Department of Labor has exclusive authority to determine compliance with Executive Order 11246 and the policies of the Secretary of Labor including 41 CFR Part 60, and 29 CFR Parts 1625-1627. The contracting agency and the FHWA have the authority and the responsibility to ensure compliance with 23 U.S.C. 140, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 794), and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C.

2000d et seq.), and related regulations including 49 CFR Parts 21, 26, and 27; and 23 CFR Parts 200, 230, and 633.

The following provision is adopted from 23 CFR Part 230, Subpart A, Appendix A, with appropriate revisions to conform to the U.S. Department of Labor (US DOL) and FHWA requirements.

ATTACHMENT K

FHWA-1273

1. Equal Employment Opportunity: Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) requirements not to discriminate and to take affirmative action to assure equal opportunity as set forth under laws, executive orders, rules, regulations (see 28 CFR Part 35, 29 CFR Part 1630, 29 CFR Parts 1625-1627, 41 CFR Part 60 and 49 CFR Part 27) and orders of the Secretary of Labor as modified by the provisions prescribed herein, and imposed pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 140, shall constitute the EEO and specific affirmative action standards for the contractor's project activities under this contract. The provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) set forth under 28 CFR Part 35 and 29 CFR Part 1630 are incorporated by reference in this contract. In the execution of this contract, the contractor agrees to comply with the following minimum specific requirement activities of EEO:

a. The contractor will work with the contracting agency and the Federal Government to ensure that it has made every good faith effort to provide equal opportunity with respect to all of its terms and conditions of employment and in their review of activities under the contract. 23 CFR 230.409 (g)(4) & (5).

b. The contractor will accept as its operating policy the following statement:

"It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, color, national origin, age or disability. Such action shall include: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship, and/or on-the-job training."

2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make known to the contracting officers an EEO Officer who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively administering and promoting an active EEO program and who must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility to do so.

3. Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contractor's staff who are authorized to hire, supervise, promote, and discharge employees, or who recommend such action or are substantially involved in such action, will be made fully cognizant of and will implement the contractor's EEO policy and contractual responsibilities to provide EEO in each grade and classification of employment. To ensure that the above agreement will be met, the following actions will be taken as a minimum:

a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be conducted before the start of work and then not less often than once every six months, at which time the contractor's EEO policy and its implementation will be reviewed and explained. The meetings will be conducted by the EEO Officer or other knowledgeable company official.

b. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of the contractor's EEO obligations within thirty days following their reporting for duty with the contractor.

c. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for the project will be instructed by the EEO Officer in the contractor's procedures for locating and hiring minorities and women.

d. Notices and posters setting forth the contractor's EEO policy will be placed in areas readily accessible to employees, applicants for employment and potential employees.

e. The contractor's EEO policy and the procedures to implement such policy will be brought to the attention of employees by means of meetings, employee handbooks, or other appropriate means.

4. Recruitment: When advertising for employees, the contractor will include in all advertisements for employees the notation: "An Equal Opportunity Employer." All such advertisements will be placed in publications having a large circulation among minorities and women in the area from which the project work force would normally be derived.

a. The contractor will, unless precluded by a valid bargaining agreement, conduct systematic and direct recruitment through public and private employee referral sources likely to yield qualified minorities and women. To meet this requirement, the contractor will identify sources of potential minority group employees and establish with such identified sources procedures whereby minority and women applicants may be referred to the contractor for employment consideration.

b. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining agreement providing for exclusive hiring hall referrals, the contractor is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the extent that the system meets the contractor's compliance with EEO contract provisions. Where implementation of such an agreement has the effect of discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates the contractor to do the same, such implementation violates Federal nondiscrimination provisions.

c. The contractor will encourage its present employees to refer minorities and women as applicants for employment.

Information and procedures with regard to referring such applicants will be discussed with employees.

5. Personnel Actions: Wages, working conditions, and employee benefits shall be established and administered, and personnel actions of every type, including hiring, upgrading, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination, shall be taken without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age or disability.

The following procedures shall be followed:

a. The contractor will conduct periodic inspections of project sites to ensure that working conditions and employee facilities do not indicate discriminatory treatment of project site personnel.

b. The contractor will periodically evaluate the spread of wages paid within each classification to determine any evidence of discriminatory wage practices.

c. The contractor will periodically review selected personnel actions in depth to determine whether there is evidence of discrimination. Where evidence is found, the contractor will promptly take corrective action. If the review indicates that the discrimination may extend beyond the actions reviewed, such corrective action shall include all affected persons.

d. The contractor will promptly investigate all complaints of alleged discrimination made to the contractor in connection with its obligations under this contract, will attempt to resolve such complaints, and will take appropriate corrective action within a reasonable time. If the investigation indicates that the discrimination may affect persons other than the complainant, such corrective action shall include such other persons. Upon completion of each investigation, the contractor will inform every complainant of all of their avenues of appeal.

6. Training and Promotion:

a. The contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and increasing the skills of minorities and women who are applicants for employment or current employees. Such efforts should be aimed at developing full journey level status employees in the type of trade or job classification involved.

b. Consistent with the contractor's work force requirements and as permissible under Federal and State regulations, the contractor shall make full use of training programs (i.e., apprenticeship and on-the-job training programs for the geographical area of contract performance). In the event a special provision for training is provided under this contract, this subparagraph will be superseded as indicated in the special provision. The contracting agency may reserve training positions for persons who receive welfare assistance in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 140(a).

c. The contractor will advise employees and applicants for employment of available training programs and entrance requirements for each.

d. The contractor will periodically review the training and promotion potential of employees who are minorities and women and will encourage eligible employees to apply for such training and promotion.

7. Unions: If the contractor relies in whole or in part upon unions as a source of employees, the contractor will use good faith efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase opportunities for minorities and women. 23 CFR

230.409. Actions by the contractor, either directly or through a contractor's association acting as agent, will include the procedures set forth below:

a. The contractor will use good faith efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint training programs aimed toward qualifying more minorities and women for membership in the unions and increasing the skills of minorities and women so that they may qualify for higher paying employment.

b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to incorporate an EEO clause into each union agreement to the end that such union will be contractually bound to refer applicants without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability.

c. The contractor is to obtain information as to the referral practices and policies of the labor union except that to the extent such information is within the exclusive possession of the labor union and such labor union refuses to furnish such information to the contractor, the contractor shall so certify to the contracting agency and shall set forth what efforts have been made to obtain such information.

d. In the event the union is unable to provide the contractor with a reasonable flow of referrals within the time limit set forth in the collective bargaining agreement, the contractor will, through independent recruitment efforts, fill the employment vacancies without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability;

making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or qualifiable minorities and women. The failure of a union to provide sufficient referrals (even though it is obligated to provide exclusive referrals under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement) does not relieve the contractor from the requirements of this paragraph. In the event the union referral practice prevents the contractor from meeting the obligations pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and these special provisions, such contractor shall immediately notify the contracting agency.

8. Reasonable Accommodation for Applicants / Employees with Disabilities: The contractor must be familiar with the requirements for and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and all rules and regulations established thereunder. Employers must provide reasonable accommodation in all employment activities unless to do so would cause an undue hardship.

9. Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials and Leasing of Equipment: The contractor shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The contractor shall take all necessary and reasonable steps to ensure nondiscrimination in the administration of this contract.

a. The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors, suppliers, and lessors of their EEO obligations under this contract.

b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with their EEO obligations.

10. Assurances Required:

a. The requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 and the State DOT’s FHWA-approved Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program are incorporated by reference.

b. The contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:

(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;

(2) Assessing sanctions;

(3) Liquidated damages; and/or

(4) Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non-responsible.

c. The Title VI and nondiscrimination provisions of U.S.

DOT Order 1050.2A at Appendixes A and E are incorporated by reference. 49 CFR Part 21.

11. Records and Reports: The contractor shall keep such records as necessary to document compliance with the EEO requirements. Such records shall be retained for a period of three years following the date of the final payment to the contractor for all contract work and shall be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized representatives of the contracting agency and the FHWA.

a. The records kept by the contractor shall document the following:

(1) The number and work hours of minority and non-minority group members and women employed in each work classification on the project;

(2) The progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions, when applicable, to increase employment opportunities for minorities and women; and

(3) The progress and efforts being made in locating, hiring, training, qualifying, and upgrading minorities and women.

b. The contractors and subcontractors will submit an annual report to the contracting agency each July for the duration of the project indicating the number of minority, women, and non-minority group employees currently engaged in each work classification required by the contract work. This information is to be reported on Form FHWA-1391. The staffing data should represent the project work force on board in all or any part of the last payroll period preceding the end of July. If on-the-job training is being required by special provision, the contractor will be required to collect and report training data. The employment data should reflect the work force on board during all or any part of the last payroll period preceding the end of July.

III. NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES

This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related construction subcontracts of more than $10,000. 41 CFR 60-1.5.

As prescribed by 41 CFR 60-1.8, the contractor must ensure that facilities provided for employees are provided in such a manner that segregation on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin cannot result. The contractor may neither require such segregated use by written or oral policies nor tolerate such use by employee custom. The contractor's obligation extends further to ensure that its employees are not assigned to perform their services at any location under the contractor's control where the facilities are segregated. The term "facilities" includes waiting rooms, work areas, restaurants and other eating areas, time clocks, restrooms, washrooms, locker rooms and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, recreation or entertainment areas, transportation, and housing provided for employees. The contractor shall provide separate or single-user restrooms and necessary dressing or sleeping areas to assure privacy between sexes.

IV. DAVIS-BACON AND RELATED ACT PROVISIONS

This section is applicable to all Federal-aid construction projects exceeding $2,000 and to all related subcontracts and lower-tier subcontracts (regardless of subcontract size), in accordance with 29 CFR 5.5. The requirements apply to all projects located within the right-of-way of a roadway that is functionally classified as Federal-aid highway. 23 U.S.C. 113.

This excludes roadways functionally classified as local roads or rural minor collectors, which are exempt. 23 U.S.C. 101.

Where applicable law requires that projects be treated as a project on a Federal-aid highway, the provisions of this subpart will apply regardless of the location of the project. Examples include: Surface Transportation Block Grant Program projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 133 [excluding recreational trails projects], the Nationally Significant Freight and Highway

Projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 117, and National Highway Freight Program projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 167.

The following provisions are from the U.S. Department of Labor regulations in 29 CFR 5.5 “Contract provisions and related matters” with minor revisions to conform to the FHWA- 1273 format and FHWA program requirements.

1. Minimum wages (29 CFR 5.5)

a. All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work, will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual…
