The Contractor must maintain at least one lane of traffic open at all times with two lanes maintained to the greatest extent possible during construction. Construction cannot begin until the Engineer receives at least 14 days' notice (21 days for width, height, or roadway closure restrictions). The project requires coordination with adjacent contracts (78B64, 78B94, and 78969). Multiple utility companies operate within the project limits; the Contractor must call the Joint Utility Location Information for Excavators (800-892-0123) prior to excavation. Compensation adjustments are available for bituminous material cost fluctuations, cement and concrete material costs, and compensable delays caused by utility conflicts or Department actions. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Bids will be publicly opened immediately upon the September 18 deadline.
