Specifications include, but are not limited to: A. The contractor shall submit a Traffic Control Plan (TCP) for any project designated by the ordering Department/Utility. The plan shall include sufficient equipment to ensure adequate traffic control without excess as prescribed by the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices with Alaska Supplement. In no case will the Municipality pay for excessive use of equipment. For all standard TCP’s, the contractor shall provide an acceptable TCP within five (5) days depending on the complexity of the project. When required to do so for quick-turnaround projects, the contractor shall provide an acceptable TCP within 24 hours of notification during normal working hours. Should the contractor default on the required turn-around time for the TCP, the price for the TCP will be reduced by 10% per day until the TCP is received. Should this penalty be enforced, email backup indicating when the TCP was requested and when an acceptable TCP was received and approved by MOA Traffic Control will be communicated to the contractor with any short payments of invoices. There will be a maximum of five (5) TCP requests per department per day. B. The contractor shall be available on a two (2) hour notice, day or night, to provide equipment for emergency setups, and a minimum of four (4) hours’ notice for nonemergency setups. A telephone number at which the contractor can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends and holidays, shall be furnished to the Municipality. When a specific start time for a Call-Out is required and communicated to the contractor with two (2) hours-notice for emergency setups and four (4) hours for nonemergency setups and the contractor arrives more than 15 minutes late, the price for the call-out will be reduced by 10%. If the contractor is unable to meet the required start time, the Contractor shall immediately contact the department to explain any extenuating circumstances along with a proposed, realistic start time. Should this penalty be enforced, the department will provide email backup of their notification to contractor that traffic control was setup more than 15 minutes after the required start time to include location, date and requested start time. The email should indicate when and how the department had notified the contractor of the TC requirement. C. The contractor shall monitor and maintain all Traffic Control Devices as may be necessary or as may be ordered to ensure the safety of the public as well as those engaged in connection with the work. It shall be the contractor’s responsibility to maintain all Traffic Control Devices for the duration of any project, including but not limited to throughout the night hours, weekend, holidays, and any period of inactivity and to check those warning devices a minimum of once daily and as often as required to assure they are in correct position and are operating properly.
