Section 104R

The contractor shall erect these signs at IL 78 (1/4 MILES), E 2480th St (3/4 MILES), E 2350th St (2 MILES), and County Highway 28 (4.5 MILES).

“ROAD CLOSED AHEAD” (W20-3(O)-48) with flasher and the appropriate arrow plate (W1- 6(O)-36x18 or W1-7(O)-36x18) shall be required on all side roads within the limits of the mainline “ROAD CLOSED AHEAD” signs.

The Contractor shall notify the Department via email at DOT.D2.TrafficNotice@illinois.gov.

This request shall be submitted a minimum of three weeks (21 days) and no earlier than four weeks (28 days) prior to the anticipated closure date to allow the State adequate time to re-route oversized loads.

Signing and devices required to close the road, according to the Traffic Control for Road Closure detail and contained herein, shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Detour signing required to detour traffic to alternate routes shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.

The day the detour signing begins, the detour will be in effect when the Contractor has notified the Resident Engineer or personnel on the project. No detour shall be erected on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. The road shall not be closed until the detour signing is completely installed, verified, and ready to accept traffic.

The “ROAD CLOSED” sign on the Type III barricades shall be unobstructed and visible to traffic at all times. No equipment, debris, or other materials shall be stored within 20 feet of the first set of Type III barricades, unless approved by the Engineer.

The Contractor shall not drive around the outside of the Type III barricades but shall relocate the barricades temporarily for access. When it is necessary for the barricades to be moved for access, the Contractor shall move the devices into the left lane and/or left shoulder area behind barricades that are to remain in place. At no time shall the barricades be turned parallel to traffic flow for access purposes.

If a path becomes evident around the outside of the barricades, the Contractor shall be required to place additional Type III barricades to prevent driving around the existing barricades. Additional barricades shall be included in the cost of applicable Traffic Control Standards.

This work shall be paid for at the contract lump sum price for TRAFFIC CONTROL AND

PROTECTION, (SPECIAL).

This person will be able to repair the temporary signals or will be able to have flaggers on site within another hour to flag traffic until the signals are again in operation.

Failure to have a person on site within an hour after the initial call out will result in the Contractor being charged a monetary deduction by the Department of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000).

Failure to have traffic restored either with repaired signals or with flaggers within two hours after the initial call out will result in the Contractor being charged monetary deduction by the Department of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per hour until traffic is restored. The Contractor may use a traffic control subcontractor for the first call; however, this does not relieve the prime Contractor from having a person on call.

Traffic Signal Work: No traffic signal work shall begin until all of the traffic signal hardware is on the job site. The existing traffic signal system shall remain in operation during the modernization work. The work shall be scheduled so that a minimum of two signal indications for each phase remains in operation. No signal indication shall be absent for more than seven calendar days.

The Contractor will be allowed to shut down the existing signal system not to exceed 8 hours to replace the existing controller and cabinet. During this shutdown, the intersection will operate as a 4-way "Stop".
