Close the northbound outside lane and complete ADA ramps, associated curb work, and sidewalk work, following traffic control in highway standard 701602 Case IV. It is the contractor’s responsibility to maintain access to all business and driveways during this stage of work. Any required over excavation for curb work shall be patched with concrete at no additional cost to the contract.

STAGE 3:

Close the southbound outside lane and complete ADA ramps, associated curb work, and sidewalk work, following traffic control in highway standard 701602 Case IV.

Traffic Control Surveillance will not be allowed during this stage. It is the contractor’s responsibility to maintain access to all business and driveways during this stage of work.

STAGE 5:

Close the center drive lanes and the center turn lane to allow 8’ of clearance between open excavation at live traffic. Traffic Control Surveillance will not be allowed during this stage.

STAGE 6:

Complete mill and overlay. The milling operation shall not be more than 48 hours ahead of the hot-mix asphalt paving operations. The contractor shall only mill the amount of material that can be replaced with hot-mix asphalt surface course within 48 hours.

STAGE 7:

Complete permanent pavement markings on lane lines and buffer zone and crosswalks at intersections. Mid-block crosswalks may be striped if contractor guarantees no damage during median installation.

STAGE 8:

Cut in and construct CONCRETE MEDIAN (SPECIAL) in the buffer zone. Lanes at the buffer zone are to be narrowed to allow a minimum of 24 inches from the travel way to the edge of work. Follow traffic control in highway standard 701006. This stage can be completed with Stage 4 and 5 but not with Stage 2 if the contract can fit their milling and paving machines between the proposed CONCRETE MEDIAN (SPECIAL) and the existing curb.

STAGE 9:

Stripe crosswalks at mid-block crossings.

STAGE 10:

Clean up the site, remove traffic control and erosions control.

All pavement patches, entrances, and roads shall be constructed to minimize disruption to traffic. This can be done by constructing them half at a time or by high early strength concrete unless written approval is received from the City and property owner to allow full closure.

Side streets may have up to a 4-day closure per street for pavement patching. Two adjacent streets should not be closed at the same time to limit the inconvenience to local traffic. Dead end streets should be pavement patched half at a time to allow access to all properties.

Traffic signal work may be completed during any stage with suitable traffic control.

Seeding operations shall be completed as soon as possible to minimize erosion potential.

The Contractor may submit an alternate sequence of operations and traffic control plan that would expedite construction and still maintain traffic control. Any and all changes to these plans must be submitted in writing and approved in advance by the Engineer. No additional compensation will be allowed if alternate plans are approved.

TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN
