CC &V PROJECT NO. SC -07 -002 January 4, 2013 1 TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN - GENERAL The key elements of the Contractor's method of handling traffic (MHT) are outlined in subsection 630.10(a). The components of the TCP for this project are included in the following: (1) Subsection 104.04 and Section 630 of the specifications. (2) Standard Plan S- 630 -1, Traffic Controls for Highway Construction. (3) Standard Plan S- 630 -2. (4) Schedule of Construction Traffic Control Devices. (5) Construction phasing details. Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer, the Contractor's equipment shall follow normal and legal traffic movements. The Contractor's ingress and egress of the work area shall be accomplished with as little disruption to traffic as possible. Traffic control devices shall be removed by picking up the devices in a reverse sequence to that used for installation. This may require moving backwards through the work zone. When located behind barrier or at other locations shown on approved traffic control plans, equipment may operate in a direction opposite to adjacent traffic. CDOT may have entered into operating agreements with one or more law enforcement organizations for cooperative activities. Under such agreements, at the sole discretion of CDOT, law enforcement personnel may enter the work zone for enforcement purposes and may participate in the Contractor's traffic control activities. The responsibility under the Contract for all traffic control resides with the Contractor and any such participation by law enforcement personnel in Contractor traffic control activities will be referenced in either the Special Provisions or General Notes of the plans depending on whether the Contractor is to hire local law enforcement or if CDOT is contracting with Colorado State Patrol for uniformed traffic control. Nothing in this Contract is intended to create an entitlement, on the part of the Contractor, to the services or participation of the law enforcement organization. Special Traffic Control Plan requirements for this project are as follows: During the construction of this project, traffic shall use the present traveled roadway unless identified on the plans or approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall not have construction equipment or materials in the lanes open to traffic at any time, unless approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall provide suitable transportation to the work site for personnel whose vehicles are parked off site. Personal vehicles shall not be parked within CDOT Right of Way except for park n ride locations. Employee vehicle parking will be prohibited where it conflicts with safety, access or flow of traffic. The contractor shall equip construction vehicles with flashing amber lights. The Contractor shall furnish hand held radios as required for traffic and safety control in the project area: three (3) for CDOT staff, one (1) for TCS, one for each flagger, and for project superintendent or foreman(s) active on the project. The radios shall have adequate range to communicate within a 5 mile range. Contractor shall provide their flaggers with breaks as required for reasonable working conditions and for use of sanitary facilities. 16
