CONTRACTOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Will the contractor be required to install signage for an off-site detour in addition to the road closure? If so, what will be the desired detour route?

The Contractor will be required to install signage for an off-site detour in addition to the road closure signage. The current truck detour route includes travel on Wesley Chapel Road, Walton Road, and Chestnut Hill Road.


The requirements for traffic control are provided in the Contract Documents in multiple locations, including:


00100 4.7 The Contractor shall provide traffic control in accordance with MUTCD if any lane closures (partial or full) are required.


00300 Item 3 Traffic Control (bid item)


00800 17 MAINTENANCE DURING CONSTRUCTION: The CONTRACTOR shall maintain the WORK from the beginning of construction operations until final acceptance. This maintenance shall constitute continuous and effective WORK prosecuted day by day with adequate equipment and forces to the end that the site and structures thereon are kept in satisfactory condition at all times, including satisfactory signing or marking as appropriate and control of traffic where required by use of traffic control devices as required by the State in which this project is located. 


Upon completion of the WORK, the CONTRACTOR shall remove all construction signs and barriers before final acceptance.  


While undergoing improvements, the roads shall be kept open whenever possible to all traffic by the CONTRACTOR. The CONTRACTOR shall keep the portion of the site being used by public traffic, whenever possible, whether it be through or local traffic, in such condition that traffic will be adequately accommodated. The CONTRACTOR shall bear all costs of signs and markings as required and other maintenance WORK during construction and before the WORK is accepted and of constructing and maintaining such approaches, crossings, intersections, and other features as may be necessary without direct compensation.


Single lane closures will be allowed at the CONTRACTOR'S discretion. Flaggers, work zone signs, and work zones must be set-up and maintained in accordance with MUTCD standards. All flaggers must have a flagger training certification acceptable to GDOT.


For complete road closure, a detour plan shall be submitted to engineer three days prior to the planned closure. Detour sings and markings shall be installed in accordance with the approved detour plan prior to road closure.


The Owner shall be notified at least 24-hours prior to closure of the road so that emergency services can be given adequate notification. Temporary electronic signs informing the traveling public of the road closure shall be placed in both directions two days prior to road closure.


The Owner shall be notified immediately upon road being reopened.


00800 18 BARRICADES, DANGER, WARNING & DETOUR SIGNS: The CONTRACTOR shall provide, erect, and maintain all necessary barricades, suitable and sufficient lights, danger signals, signs and other traffic control devices, and shall take all necessary precautions for the protection of the WORK and safety of the public.

Suitable warning signs shall be provided to properly control and direct traffic.


The CONTRACTOR shall furnish, install, and maintain all necessary barricades, warning signs, and other protection devices in accordance with MUTCD standards. Temporary signs may be reused, provided they are in good condition and legible. All protective devices shall be kept in a good, legible condition while in use.


As soon as construction advances to the extent that temporary barricades, and signs are no longer needed to inform the traveling public, such signs shall be promptly removed.


The cost of furnishing, erecting, maintaining, and removing protective devices will not be paid for as a separate Bid item. Where the CONTRACTOR is required to perform any of these functions, the cost thereof shall be included in the overall Bid submitted. Ownership of the temporary warning devices shall remain with the CONTRACTOR.


All workers working in Peach County Right-of-Way must wear ANSI Class II or Class III High Visibility apparel during daylight hours and ANSI Class III High Visibility apparel during non-daylight hours.
