If it is later determined that the contractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government the department may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

10. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 6 of these instructions, if a contractor in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

4. Lane Rental Fee Assessment.

A General The contract designates some lane closures to perform the work. The contractor will not incur a Lane Rental Fee Assessment for closing lanes during the allowable lane closure times. The contractor will incur a Lane Rental Fee Assessment for each lane closure outside of the allowable lane closure times. If a lane is obstructed at any time due to contractor operations, it is considered a closure. The purpose of lane rental is to enforce compliance of lane restrictions and discourage unnecessary closures.

The allowable lane closure times are shown in the Traffic article.

Submit the dates of the proposed lane, ramp, and roadway restrictions to the engineer as part of the progress schedule.

B Lane Rental Fee Assessment The Lane Rental Fee Assessment incurred for each lane closure, each ramp closure, and each full closure of a roadway, per direction of travel, is as follows:

- On Peak - $1,750 per lane, per direction of travel, per hour broken into 15-minute increments

The Lane Rental Fee Assessment represents a portion of the cost of the interference and inconvenience to the road users for each closure. All lane, roadway, or ramp closure event increments 15 minutes and less will be assessed as a 15-minute increment.

The engineer, or designated representative, will be the sole authority in determining time period length for the Lane Rental Fee Assessment.

Lane Rental Fee Assessments will not be assessed for closures due to crashes, accidents or emergencies not initiated by the contractor.

The department will assess Lane Rental Fee Assessment by the dollar under the administrative item Failing to Open Road to Traffic. The total dollar amount of Lane Rental Fee Assessment will be computed by multiplying the Lane Rental Assessment Rate by the number of 15-minute increments of each lane closure event as described above.

Lane Rental Fee Assessment will be in effect from the time of the Notice to Proceed until the department issues final acceptance. If interim completion time or contract time expires before the completion of specified work in the contract, additional liquidated damages will be assessed as specified in standard spec 108.11 or as specified within this contract.

6. Traffic.

General:

Maintain emergency vehicle access at all times.

Prior to any traffic control being placed, provide engineer, Wisconsin State Patrol, and Fond du Lac County highway department with the name and telephone number of the local person responsible for the emergency maintenance of traffic control.

IH 41:

Keep IH 41 and all ramps open to through traffic at all times for the duration of this project except as noted below and in the Prosecution and Progress article in these special provisions.

Reduce traffic to one lane in the immediate area of work operations with the use of traffic control devices to complete the work. Maintain a minimum of one 12-foot travel lane unless otherwise allowed by the engineer. Restore the roadway to normal two-way traffic operations at the end of each work day. Traffic shall not be allowed on any milled surface.

Lane Closure Restrictions Single lane closures on IH 41 are allowed as follows:

7:00 PM to 6:00 AM Monday night to Thursday morning

8:00 PM Thursday to 6:00 AM Friday

8:00 PM Friday to 7:00 AM Saturday

8:00 PM Saturday to 8:00 AM Sunday

8:00 PM Sunday to 6:00 AM Monday

Auxiliary lane closures are allowed anytime.

No lane or shoulder closures will be permitted during Holiday and Special Events listed in the Holiday and Special Events Restrictions article.

Shoulders may be closed if required by the work operation, but the right and left shoulder may not be closed in the same area at the same time without the approval of the engineer.

Ramp Closures:

Ramp closures are allowed during the single lane closures listed above; however, ramp closures shall not occur at consecutive interchanges and must be reopened when no active work is taking place.

Full Freeway Closure:

Full closure and detouring of freeway roads will be restricted as follows:

1100-56-70, 1100-56-71 7 of 54

10:00 PM to 5:00 AM nightly from Sunday night to Friday morning

10:00 PM to 6:00 AM nightly from Friday night to Sunday morning

The freeway may be closed to facilitate the construction of drainage crossings or other work approved by the engineer. Provide signed detour routes, as shown in the plans, fully open and free of construction during all full roadway closures.

Submit requests for closures 14 calendar days prior to the planned closure events. Notify State Patrol 7 calendar days prior to closures. Notify John Zettler (920) 929-7605 and Mike Born (920) 929-3492 from Fond du Lac County 14 calendar days prior to full freeway closures.

Freight Width Restriction IH 41 is a designated WisDOT Freight Network Route. Maintain a width restriction no less than 16 feet at all times in each direction outside of lane closure hours. Movement of OSOW freight is scheduled to occur during this construction project that will require a minimum of 16 feet of horizontal clearance. During allowed nightly closure timeframes, the effective width will be 10 feet and shall be posted as such prior to the lane closure and at the last exit ramp safe for exiting.

Enter in the correct minimum width restriction in Wisconsin Lane Closure System.

Wisconsin Lane Closure System Advance Notification Provide the following advance notification to the engineer for incorporation into the Wisconsin Lane Closure System (LCS).

TABLE 108-1 CLOSURE TYPE AND REQUIRED MINIMUM ADVANCE NOTIFICATION

Closure type with height, weight, or width restrictions (available width, all lanes in one direction < 16 feet) MINIMUM NOTIFICATION

Lane and shoulder closures 7 calendar days

Full roadway closures 7 calendar days

Ramp closures 7 calendar days

Detours 7 calendar days

Closure type without height, weight, or width restrictions (available width, all lanes in one direction > 16 feet) MINIMUM NOTIFICATION

Shoulder Closures 3 calendar days

Lane closures 3 business days

Ramp closures 3 business days

Modifying all closure types 3 business days

Discuss LCS completion dates and provide changes in the schedule to the engineer at weekly project meetings in order to manage closures nearing their completion date.

Temporary Regulatory Speed Limit Reduction A reduction of the posted regulatory speed limit from 70 or 65 mph to 55 mph is required when any of the following conditions are created within the project limits: 1. Bi-directional traffic separated by tubular markers. 2. Lane(s) closed and workers are present within 12 feet of live traffic without positive protection.

No portion of sign text shall be visible when not in use, regardless if it is temporary or permanent regulatory speed limit sign.

During approved temporary regulatory speed limit reductions, install regulatory speed limit signs on the inside and outside shoulders of the roadway at the beginning of the reduced regulatory speed zone, after all locations where traffic may enter the highway segment or every 1/2 mile within the reduced regulatory speed zone. Signs shall be installed at the end of the temporary regulatory speed zone to designate the end of the temporary regulatory speed zone and inform drivers the posted regulatory speed limit reverts back to the original posted speed limit. To minimize possible confusion to the traveling public and to ensure appropriate speed enforcement, enhanced attention to placement and changing of speed limit signs is required.

During periods of no work activity when devices are pulled back and lanes re-opened, restore speed limit to normal posted speed.

1100-56-70, 1100-56-71 8 of 54

When construction activities impede the location of a post mounted regulatory speed limit sign, mount the regulatory speed limit sign on portable supports that meet the "crashworthy" definition and height criteria in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (MUTCD).

Temporary Work Zone Clear Zone Working Restrictions The temporary work zone clear zone for this project is 18-feet from the edge of traveled way. If auxiliary lanes are present, clear zone is from the outside edge of the auxiliary lane.

Do not perform work in the median at any time unless protected by concrete barrier temporary precast in both directions except as allowed during lane closure periods.

Do not perform work within the clear zone unless protected by concrete barrier temporary precast or a lane closure during the allowed closure periods.

Park equipment and store materials, including stockpiles, a minimum of 30-feet from the edge of the traveled way. Equipment may be parked and material stored in the median if it meets the minimum distance requirement from both traveled ways or if it is protected by concrete barrier temporary precast.

If unsure whether an individual work operation will meet the safety requirements for working within the clear zone, review the proposed work operation with the engineer before proceeding with the work.

Replace standard specification 305.3.3.3(2) with the following:

If the roadway remains open to through traffic during construction and a 2-inch or more drop-off occurs within the clear zone, eliminate the drop-off prior to completing that day’s work. Unless the special provisions specify otherwise, provide aggregate shoulder material compacted to a temporary 3:1 or flatter cross slope from the surface of the pavement edge.

Local Roadways Keep Morris Street open at all times. Single lane closures using flaggers will be allowed during daytime working hours.The project area includes commercial properties that require trucking into and out of the properties on a daily basis. Coordinate with adjacent commercial properties to determine trucking schedules and access requirements.

Horseshoe Lane will be closed east and west of Morris Street. Coordinate with businesses west of Morris Street to provide access to these properties via either Morris Street or temporary roadway along Horseshoe Lane. Milk Specialties located at 1000 Morris Street has loading docks located between Stations 25’HS’+10 and 26’HS’+60 RT. The property owner will construct a temporary gravel access road within their property between the parking lot and loading dock area, allowing their semi-trucks to enter the

1100-56-70, 1100-56-71 9 of 54 property off Morris Street to access the loading docks. However, the semi-trucks will need to traverse into Horseshoe Lane to allow the truck and trailer to align with the dock prior to backing into the loading docks. Provide a 60’ wide area on Horseshoe Lane within the right-of-way limits between Stations 25’HS’+10 and 26’HS’+60 for the trucks to turn and back into the loading docks. Maintain the temporary gravel access road and parking area at 1000 Morri Street. Fill potholes, sags, and depressions within the temporary gravel areas on a weekly basis or as requested by the engineer.

Provide access to properties east of Morris Street with a temporary roadway (minimum base aggregate dense surface) as shown in the plans.

Existing trees, street light poles, hydrants, and other utility poles are to remain in place during construction unless otherwise noted in the plan. Maintain proper clearance between the trees, hydrants, and poles and the construction operations/equipment.

Coordinate with local officials, emergency responders, local residents, postal service, garbage and recycling services and school districts, concerning construction operations and scheduling prior to construction. Provide notification 4 days in advance of the start of work, closures of streets, and prior to traffic control changes.

Provide 24-hour contact information, including current…
