Such a list shall be included in the quality control documentation and shall include the estimated date by which the deficiencies will be corrected. The Contractor shall make a second completion inspection to ascertain that all deficiencies have been corrected, and so notify the Engineer.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS

This section specifies environmental considerations for the Contractor, including site maintenance, air/odor emissions, noise, and traffic control.

A. SITE MAINTENANCE

The Contractor shall keep the site clean and free from rubbish and debris resulting from his operation. Materials and equipment shall be removed from the site when they are no longer necessary. Upon completion of the work and before final acceptance, the work site shall be cleared of equipment, unused materials, and rubbish to present a clean and neat appearance.

B. AIR POLLUTION CONTROL

The Contractor shall not discharge smoke, dust, and other pollutants into the atmosphere that violate the regulations or any legally constituted authority.

Contractor shall not discharge construction equipment engine exhaust emission constituents (i.e., organic compounds, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, etc.)

that may require the use of respiratory protection or that may result in the degradation of air quality in the work area. Contractor shall also abate dust by cleaning, sweeping, and sprinkling with water, or other means as necessary.

Site operations may create odors or emissions that in turn, may create a nuisance.

The Contractor shall take whatever steps are necessary to abate any nuisance including, but not limited to:

1. Maintaining adequate ventilation within demolition area or implementation of other control measures necessary to prevent accumulation of construction equipment engine exhaust emissions within work area.

2. Prevention of surface water run-on and run-off from debris stockpiles.

3. Temporary cessation of operations pending more favorable environmental conditions.

C. NOISE CONTROL

Noise from Contractor's operations shall not exceed limits established by applicable laws or regulations and in no event shall exceed 85 dBA at a distance of 50 feet from

01560 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS

AVO 35090 PAGE 01560-2

the noise source.

D. TRAFFIC CONTROL

Contractor shall control traffic which would otherwise pass through the project site including the demolition area and material staging area. Control shall include barricades, lighting, and traffic detour signs which comply with all state and local regulations and which are acceptable to the Engineer.

Where the Work is carried on or adjacent to any street, alley or public place (including the demolittion area, construction ingress/egress point at the Site, and ingress/egress routes to demolition staging area), the Contractor shall, at his own cost and expense, furnish, erect and maintain such barricades, fences, lights and danger signals, shall provide such watchmen and security, and shall take such other precautionary measures for the protection of persons or property and of the Work as are necessary. All barricades shall be painted in a color that will be visible at night, shall indicate in bold letters thereon the Contractor's name and shall be illuminated by lights from sunset to sunrise. The term lights, as used herein, shall mean flares, flashers, or both. A sufficient number of barricades shall be erected to keep vehicles from being driven on or into any Work under construction or to prevent passers-by or trespassers from entering the project. The Contractor shall furnish watchmen in sufficient number to protect the Work. The Contractor will be held responsible for all damage to the Work or injuries resulting due to failure of barricades, signs, lights and watchmen to protect it, and whenever evidence is found of such damage, the Engineer may order the damaged portion immediately removed and replaced by the Contractor at Contractor's sole cost and expense. The Contractor's responsibility for maintenance of barricades, signs, and lights, and for providing watchmen, shall not cease until the Project has been accepted by the Engineer and Owner.
