PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING As soon as practical after award of contract, but prior to beginning work on this project, the contractor shall attend a pre-construction meeting unless the requirement for such meeting is waived by the County Engineer. The purpose of this meeting shall be the specific planning of how the work is to be accomplished, which shall include but not be limited to a written time schedule for the closing to traffic of any streets or roads, utility work, access to properties and major items of work required by the plans such as grading or paving. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES Time is of the essence for the faithful and timely performance of the terms of the Contract. The parties hereto agree that it is not possible to predetermine an amount in actual damages due Douglas County whenever timely completion is not accomplished; therefore, in lieu of actual damages, the parties to this Contract agree, as per Subsection 108.07 of the Douglas County Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, Liquidated Damages shall be charged at a rate of One Thousand Dollars, $1,000.00 per calendar day for each day that the construction of this project extends beyond the number of calendar days as specified in the Contract with any additional days granted by the engineer, provided that full safe use of the newly constructed phase of the facility is denied the public.

All barricades, warning signs, lights, temporary signals and other protective devices must conform with the latest edition of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways published by the U. S. Government Printing Office. All barricades and signs shall be constructed and erected in accordance with the plans furnished. 2. The contractor shall provide, erect and maintain all necessary barricades, suitable and sufficient lights, hazard beacons, other signs, provide a sufficient number of watchmen and take all necessary precautions for the protection of the work and the safety of the public. All lights shall be kept burning from sunset to sunrise. 3.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS Project No. C-28(492) 4. Failure of the contractor to erect and maintain traffic protective devices as herein specified shall be reason to temporarily suspend the work in accordance with Subsection 105.01. The contractor shall be given notice, either written or verbal, of failure to install, replace, remove, or maintain a traffic protective device. If corrective action is not taken within four hours, a written notice shall be given to the person designated for work zone traffic control. The contractor's office shall also receive a copy of such notice; facsimile transmission shall be used if possible. If corrective action is not taken within four hours of the initial notice, the project manager may elect to make no payment for the device for that day. Failure to install, replace, remove, or maintain a device within eight hours of the initial notice may result in no payment being made for any traffic protective devices on the project for that day and on subsequent days until the requested installation, replacement, removal, or maintenance is performed. 5. The County shall erect and maintain detour signs in advance of the project limits. Application Details A. Hazard identification beacons and flashing or steady-burning lights shall be used to warn the motorist of hazards associated with the construction project. The engineer may require the use of additional beacons or lights, if, in his judgment, more protection is needed than might normally be considered adequate. B. Each light shall be checked and serviced with sufficient frequency to insure that lights are always operating with the brightness available with fresh batteries and new lamps. The lenses shall at all times be clean, free of mud or dust film. C. The contractor whose work requires the control and protection of traffic in accordance with the applicable sections of these specifications, shall furnish signs, all materials including necessary posts, bolts or other fasteners, erect and maintain all signs, barricades and other traffic control devices in accordance with the details, and at the locations shown in the plans. When more than one contractor is working on the project and both require the protection and control of traffic, the engineer shall determine and notify in writing the contractor whose responsibility it shall be to provide the protection and control of traffic. The responsibility may vary from time to time, depending upon the operation in progress, and there shall be no duplication of protective and control devices at the same location. D. The signs shall be placed at the time construction work begins in compliance with the applicable conditions of the Standard Plan(s) and shall be so used until permission is granted, in writing, by the engineer that the work is completed or temporarily suspended, and that they may be removed. Measurement and Payment A. Type III barricades shall be measured for payment by the number of calendar days each Type III barricade is in place and positioned as shown on the plans or as directed by the engineer.
