SPECIAL PROVISIONS

The following Special Provisions supplement the "Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction," adopted January 1 2022, the latest edition of the "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways," and the "Manual of Test Procedures for Materials" in effect on the date of invitation for bids, and the Supplemental Specifications and Recurring Special Provisions indicated on the Check Sheet included herein which apply to and govern the construction of Various Routes, Section 2026-2190-I, Various Counties, Contract No. 80D51 and in case of conflict with any part or parts of said Specifications, the said Special Provisions shall take precedence and shall govern.

LOCATION OF IMPROVEMENT

This work is located on various State maintained expressway routes located within the counties of Cook, DuPage, Lake and Will.

DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENT

The work to be done under Full Expressway Cleaning Cycle & Supplemental Sweeping shall consist of the pickup, removal and satisfactory disposal of limbs, sticks, leaves, sand, stones, dirt, weeds, debris, deceased animal carcasses, refuse, Litter and any other rubbish which has accumulated on the highway areas hereinafter described as the areas to be cleaned. After each cleaning cycle all areas must present an appearance which is completely satisfactory to the Engineer. Adequate equipment and hand labor shall be provided to accomplish the work to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Specific provisions for the two (2) categories of work will be described in subsequent pages of these Special Provisions.

INTERIM COMPLETION DATE (VIA CALENDAR DAYS)

The Contractor shall complete each Full Expressway Cleaning Cycles on or before the completion date as stated in the Work Order which will be based upon 80 calendar days regardless of over lapping cycles.

The Contractor shall complete each Supplemental Sweeping Work Order on or before the completion date as stated in the Work Order which will be based upon 2 calendar days regardless of over lapping work orders.

The completion date will be determined by the issuance date of the work Order adding the specified number of calendar days to the date the Work Order has been issued, unless a delayed start is granted by the Engineer. Failure to complete the Expressway Cleaning Cycles or Supplemental Sweeping in the required calendar days will result in liquidated damages as stated in Failure to Complete Work on Time section.

MAINTENANCE OF ROADWAYS (D1)

Effective: September 30, 1985 Revised: November 1, 1996

Beginning on the date that work begins on this project, the Contractor shall assume responsibility for normal maintenance of all existing roadways within the limits of the improvement. This normal maintenance shall include all repair work deemed necessary by the Engineer, but shall not include snow removal operations. Traffic control and protection for maintenance of roadways will be provided by the Contractor as required by the Engineer.

If items of work have not been provided in the contract, or otherwise specified for payment, such items, including the accompanying traffic control and protection required by the Engineer, will be paid for in accordance with Article 109.04 of the Standard Specifications.

CONTRACT COMPLETION DATE

The Contractor shall schedule his/her operations in order to complete all work and open all expressways to traffic on or before December 31, 2027.

The Provisions of Article 108.09 of the Standard Specification shall apply to the contract completion date.

FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE WORK ON TIME

Should the Contractor fail to complete the work on or before the completion date as specified in the Special Provision for “Interim Completion Date (via Calendar days) ”, or within such extended time as may have been allowed by the Department, the Contractor shall be liable to the Department in the amount of $2,300.00, not as a 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 certain 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 use of the roadway if the project is delayed in completion. 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.
