The above represents the best information available to the Department and is included for the convenience of the bidder. The days required for conflict resolution should be considered in the bid as this information has also been factored into the timeline identified for the project when setting the completion date. The applicable portions of the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction shall apply.

Estimated duration of time provided above for the first conflicts identified will begin on the date of the executed contract regardless of the status of the utility relocations. The responsible agencies will be working toward resolving subsequent conflicts in conjunction with contractor activities in the number of days noted.

The estimated relocation duration must be part of the progress schedule submitted by the contractor. A utility kickoff meeting will be scheduled between the Department, the Department’s contractor, and the utility companies when necessary.

The contractor is responsible for contacting JULIE (or DIGGER within the City of Chicago) prior to any excavation work. Please note that IDOT electrical facilities are not part of the one-call locating services, such as JULIE or DIGGER.

If the contract requires the services of an electrical contractor, it is the contractor’s responsibility, at their own expense, to locate existing IDOT and/or local agency electrical facilities before commencing work. For contracts that do not require an electrical contractor, the contractor may

Village of Montgomery, Kane & Kendall Counties Contract # 61M68 request one free locate of IDOT electrical facilities by contacting the Department’s Electrical Maintenance Contractor and/or the appropriate local agency electrical maintenance contractor.

Additional locate requests will be at the contractor’s expense.

For work on or near IDOT ROW on contracts without an electrical contractor, the Department’s Electrical Maintenance Contractor must be notified at least 72 hours in advance of the work by calling 773-287-7600 or emailing dispatch@meade100.com to arrange for the locating of underground electrical facilities.

Please note the marking of underground facilities does not absolve the contractor of their responsibility to repair or replace any facilities damaged during construction at their expense.

SUPPLEMENTAL WATERING

This work will include watering sod at the rates specified and as directed by the Engineer.

Schedule: Watering will only begin after the successful completion of all period of establishment requirements. The Engineer may direct the Contractor to adjust the watering rate and frequency depending upon weather conditions. Watering must be completed in a timely manner. When the Engineer directs the Contractor to do supplemental watering, the Contractor must begin the watering operation within 24 hours of notice. The Contractor shall give an approximate time window of when they will begin at the work location to the Engineer. The Engineer shall be present during the watering operation. Should the Contractor fail to complete the work on a timely basis or within such extended times as may have been allowed by the Department, the Contractor shall be liable to the Department liquidated damages as outlined in the “Failure to Complete Plant Care and Establishment Work on Time” special provision.

Source of Water: The Contractor shall notify the Engineer of the source of water used and provide written certification that the water does not contain chemicals harmful to plant growth.

Rate of Application: The normal rates of application for watering are as follows. The Engineer will adjust these rates as needed depending upon weather conditions.

27 gallons per square yard for Sodded Areas

Method of Application: All watering described shall be done with a spray application. An open-end hose will not be acceptable. The method of watering shall meet the approval of the Engineer. The Contractor must supply metering equipment as needed to assure the specified application rate of water.

Method of Measurement: Supplemental watering will be measured in units of 1000 gallons of water applied as directed.

Basis of Payment: This work will be paid for at the contract unit price per unit of SUPPLEMENTAL WATERING, measured as specified. Payment will include the cost of all

Village of Montgomery, Kane & Kendall Counties Contract # 61M68 water, equipment and labor needed to complete the work specified herein and to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

FAILURE TO COMPLETE PLANT CARE AND ESTABLISHMENT WORK ON TIME

Should the Contractor fail to complete the plant care and/or supplemental watering work as per the standard specifications or within 24 hours notification from the Engineer, or within such extended times as may have been allowed by the Department, the Contractor shall be liable to the Department in the amount of:

• $20.00 per sq yd sod/per day not as penalty but as liquidated damages, for each calendar day or a portion thereof of overrun in the contract time or such extended time as may have been allowed.

In fixing the damages as set out herein, the desire is to establish a mode of calculation for the work since the Department’s actual loss, in the event of delay, cannot be predetermined, would be difficult of ascertainment, and a matter of argument and unprofitable litigation. This said mode is an equitable rule for measurement of the Department’s actual loss and fairly takes into account the loss of the sod if the watering or plant care is delayed. The Department shall not be required to provide any actual loss in order to recover these liquidated damages provided herein, as said damages are very difficult to ascertain. Furthermore, no provision of this clause shall be construed as a penalty, as such is not the intention of the parties.

A calendar day is every day shown on the calendar and starts at 12:00 midnight and ends at the following 12:00 midnight, twenty-four hours later.

PRUNING FOR SAFETY AND EQUIPMENT CLEARANCE

Description: All work, materials, and equipment shall conform to Section 201 of the Standard Specifications except as modified herein.

Prior to start of any work, the Contractor shall inspect all tree branches that overhang into the roadway. Any branches that will be in conflict with construction equipment shall be reported to the Engineer. The Engineer will make the final decision on trees requiring tree pruning.

Pruning will be done on tree branches that overhang into the roadway and will be in conflict with construction equipment along roadsides. All pruning shall be done according to the current ANSI A300 (Part 1) – Pruning standard. Plant material shall be pruned to provide a minimum vertical clearance of 14 ft from the finished surface of the roadbed and shoulders. Pruning for sight distance and other safety purposes shall be as directed by the Engineer. Branches on existing trees to remain that need to be removed for safety and equipment clearance shall be pruned prior to the resurfacing operation.

Breaking off branches of plant material to remain during construction operations will not be allowed. Pruning shall be done in the presence of the Engineer and in such a manner as to preserve the natural growth habit of each tree.

If a dead and/or hazardous limb is found to be at a higher elevation than the pruning clearance requirement, the Contractor shall prune the limb and will not be paid separately.

Village of Montgomery, Kane & Kendall Counties Contract # 61M68

Any tree limbs that are broken by construction equipment after the initial pruning must be pruned correctly within 72 hours.

Method of Measurement: Pruning for Safety and Equipment Clearance will be measured for payment on a lump sum basis.

Basis of Payment: Pruning for Safety and Equipment Clearance will be paid for at the contract lump sum price for PRUNING FOR SAFETY AND EQUIPMENT CLEARANCE.

PROTECTION OF EXISTING TREES

The Contractor shall be responsible for taking measures to minimize damage to the tree limbs, tree trunks, and tree roots at each work site. All such measures shall be included in the contract price for other work except that payment will be made for TEMPORARY FENCE, TREE TRUNK PROTECTION, TREE ROOT PRUNING, and TREE PRUNING.
