About this file
This is a Special Provisions document for traffic sign removal and reset work under Section 02890, prepared for the Somerville Union Square Transit Signal Priority Project (IFB 115-26) in Massachusetts. The work scope requires contractors to remove existing regulatory, warning, and directional traffic signs and their supports from current locations and reset them to new positions as indicated on project plans or as directed by the Engineer. The project encompasses removal, stockpiling, cleaning, and reinstallation of signs, with work performed in accordance with MassDOT Standard Specifications for Highway and Bridges Section 840 and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Contractors are responsible for exercising caution during all operations to prevent damage; any sign panels or supports damaged during removal, stockpiling, or resetting must be replaced at the contractor's expense. The work also includes clearing vegetation obstructions to maintain proper sight distance, removing support foundations to at least six inches below finished grade, backfilling holes with gravel, and restoring surfaces to existing or Engineer-approved conditions.
Payment is calculated on a per-unit basis for each traffic sign removed and relocated. The contract bid price per unit constitutes full compensation for all labor, tools, equipment, materials, mounting hardware, vegetation clearance, sign and support cleaning, foundation removal, gravel backfill, surface restoration, and transportation. New signposts and sign panels, if required by the Engineer, are paid for separately under applicable contract items. All costs arising from contractor negligence are borne solely by the contractor. The contract term extends through June 30, 2025, with the work subject to Engineer approval and inspection throughout all phases of execution.
