(6) SECTION 107: REQUIRED MEDIA NOTIFICATION FOR CONSTRUCTION

PROJECTS:

Contractors are encouraged to co-operate with the news media since all projects are constructed with public funds. Because the scope of this project will cause disruption of normal traffic flow, the Contractor is required to notify the public, in a timely manner, of disruptive activities such as lane closures.

The Contractor is required to utilize area media to accomplish public notification of traffic disruptions.

The Contractor is required to deal directly with the news media and all reasonable efforts should be made to co-operate with the media. However, the safety, security and construction schedule on site should not be disrupted in order to accomplish this. The

Contractor may co-ordinate these activities with and receive guidance from the SCDOT Public Affairs Office.

(7) SECTION 108: PROSECUTION OF THE RESURFACING WORK:

It is the County’s intentions that work on the roads in this contract be performed in a sequential manner. Once a construction activity (paving, shoulder work) has started on a road, the Contractor will continue this activity until it is complete before moving to another road. In the event the Contractor elects to use multiple crews on this project, work may proceed on more than one road, however in no case will construction activities be initiated on more roads than the number of work crews engaged in the work without the approval of the Project Engineer.

(8) SECTION 108: PAVING OPERATIONS:

The asphalt overlay shall be applied in two separate and distinct operations, each operation representing about one-half of the roadway width and traffic shall be maintained continuously. Unless otherwise directed by the Engineer, paving operations shall be scheduled such that the longitudinal joint exposed to traffic shall not extend beyond the length of pavement placed in one normal days operation (or 3 miles, whichever is greater) before dropping back to bring the adjacent lane forward.

(9) SECTION 108: FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE WORK ON TIME:

Paragraph 1 of Section 108.9 is hereby replaced with the following:

If the Contractor fails to substantially complete the work by the contract completion date, the Contractor is liable for liquidated damages. Liquidated damages will be $1200.00 for each day beyond the contract completion date that work items are not completed. This includes the application of pavement markings and grassing. Days to be charged for liquidated damages will not stop due to seasonal restrictions.

(10) SECTION 109: RETAINAGE:

The County will require a 10% retainage for each pay application. Retainage will be released with the Final pay application after effective completion of the project has been evaluated by County or its representatives.

(11) SECTION 400: HOT MIX ASPHALT QUALITY ASSURANCE:

Section 3.9 of SC-M-400 will not apply.

(12) SECTION 401: FULL DEPTH ASPHALT PAVEMENT PATCHING:

Full depth asphalt pavement patching shall be uniform Depth six (6) inches on all SCDOT Roads, Four (4) inches on County Roads. Patch locations and limits will be marked in the field by the Contractor and a Beaufort County Representative prior to the start of work.

(13) SECTION 401: RATE OF APPLICATION:

All hot mix asphalt placed on SCDOT Roads including mainline paving and driveway paving shall be placed at a rate of 220# per sqyd, County roads are per the bid sheet

These rates are set up as an average rate of application. The Engineer may direct variations wherever conditions warrant.

(14) SECTION 401: DRESSING OF SHOULDERS:

Prior to the placement of asphalt mixtures on existing roadways, the contractor will be required to remove all vegetation adjacent to the edge of pavement which impedes the placement of the asphalt mixture to the specified width. The contractor shall also remove and dispose of all excess asphalt which is disturbed during minor grading for widening or during removal of debris or grass from existing surface during preparation of surface for new lift. After the asphalt mixture has been placed, the contractor shall blade the disturbed material to the extent that the shoulder is left in a neat and presentable condition. All excess material shall be removed from the project. No direct payment shall be made for this work; all costs are to be included in the price of other items of work.

(15) SECTION 401: MILLING:

Mill roadway as directed by the Engineer.

Resurfacing operations shall begin with 5 calendar days following the start of milling operations. Any deviation shall be approved by the Engineer. Penalties equal to the liquidated damages shall be assessed for each day resurfacing does not begin after 3 calendar days.

All asphalt use to safe up milled joints, milled intersections, driveways, around manholes or other utilities shall be considered incidental and no additional compensation will be made.

All asphalt used to fill in potholes and /or raveled areas caused by milling operations or by traffic on a milled surface shall be considered incidental and no additional compensation will be made.

The milling of intersecting roads shall continue to the back of the radii unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.

The butt joint for intersecting roads shall be a minimum of 25 feet long at all times when variable milled. The variable milled butt joint on the mainline shall be a minimum of 25 feet long for every inch of depth milled.

All milling debris, including debris resulting from milled-in rumble strips shall be cleaned up at the end of each day’s milling. Milling debris left in gutter lines or on sidewalks and driveways will not be permitted. Costs associated with removing each day’s milling debris shall be considered incidental and no additional compensation will be made.

Milling depths greater than 2 inches shall be performed as a mill and fill operation unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. Milling length should not exceed the length that can be paved back the same day.

(16) SECTION 403: PAVING OF DRIVEWAYS:

All hard-surfaced driveways that have been previously paved or surface treated and all earthen driveways that have been previously reworked by the SC Department of Transportation’s Maintenance Forces shall be resurfaced or surfaced as part of this contract. Quantities for the resurfacing or surfacing of driveways are those necessary to pave to the ROW line. RCE may adjust these limits as necessary.

(17) SECTION 605: PERMANENT CONSTRUCTION SIGNS:

Utility locations must be performed prior to the placement of Permanent Construction Signs. State Law requires that the location of each sign be marked with a white line in the roadway or a stake in the shoulder. The locator company will mark 25 feet on either side of the location. The responsibility for marking the sign locations prior to the contractor calling PUPS for utility locate lies with the Prime contractor

Prior to marking the sign location, care must be taken when marking the signs to ensure that there are no obstructions or other mitigating factors that will cause the sign to be moved outside of the 50 foot utility window. No separate payment will be made for Permanent Construction Signs. All costs associated with furnishing, staking out, locating, and installing Permanent Construction Signs shall be included in the lump sum price bid for Traffic Control and no additional compensation will be made.

Requests for utility locates must be specific and isolated to the sign locations if no ground disturbing activities are occurring outside of the sign placement.

(18) SECTION 609: PAVEMENT MARKINGS:

The Contractor is responsible for surveying and inventorying all traffic markings on the roadway prior to the removal or covering up of existing markings. This will include position, lengths, widths, color, and types of markings.
