Policies and procedures for the duration of project relative to access, emergency traffic, progress schedules, payments, etc. shall be discussed and resolved at this meeting. The meeting shall be held in the town office, at a mutually agreed upon time. 5. QUALITY CONTROL It is the Owner's intent that all Work shall be in compliance with Town of Raymond Subdivision Regulations and/or State of New Hampshire, Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Highways and Bridges, most current edition. As such, it shall be the Contractor's responsibility to obtain letters of compliance and sieve gradations for all materials to be incorporated into the Work. Additionally, modified proctor values shall also be supplied by the Contractor for any granular materials approved for use on the project. All test results shall be recent and current, and shall have been performed by a testing laboratory acceptable to the Owner. The Contractor shall bear the cost of said tests. The Owner shall only be responsible for ordering in-place density tests and paying for same. Where reference is made to a specification it is understood that the latest revisions thereof shall apply. In case of conflict, the more stringent specifications shall take precedence. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to obtain letters of compliance and shop drawings for all materials to be incorporated into the Work. 6. MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to provide and maintain safe and passable traffic accommodations for public and private travel; prevent dust nuisance; furnish, erect, maintain and remove construction signs, barricades, delineators, lights, flashers, and other warning devices used to delineate the construction zone and notify the motoring public of its approach. The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions for the protection of the work and safety of the public. The Contractor will be held responsible for all damage to the work from traffic, pedestrians, animals, or any other cause due to lack of adequate traffic controlling devices, flaggers and traffic management. Traffic management is especially critical during reclaiming and grading operations when the soft soils or windrows are generated. In no case shall a roadway be rendered impassable by neighborhood passenger vehicles without prior approval of the Director of Public Works. Reclaim and grading operations shall be TOWN OF RAYMOND, NEW HAMPSHIRE BITUMINOUS CONCRETE PAVING OCTOBER 2023 undertaken in a manner that provides at least one functional, compacted surface travel lane at all times to the greatest extend possible. A roadway traffic management plan depicting type and location of the traffic management signage package shall be proposed by the Contractor, but must be approved by the Owner before Work may begin. Additionally, it may be necessary to employ flag persons during certain phases of the construction project. The Contractor shall arrange for obtaining and paying flag persons. The need for flag persons shall be determined by the Owner. In the event that the work requires a police presence for traffic control, it shall be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to reimburse the Police Department for all costs associated with this effort. All work, labor, and material necessary to maintain traffic to the satisfaction of the Owner, shall be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR. Maintenance of Traffic Considerations and Expectations: Maintaining local travel in one lane around the Shim and Overlay paving operations should be very manageable with proper signage and flaggers. Those neighborhoods with no alternate points of access cannot be accommodated by detours. In certain cases, such as Industrial Drive, weekend work will be required. Maintaining local travel on Harriman Hill Road, Ham Road and Lakeview Road will require careful planning. With appropriate signage, a road detour may be implemented that redirects daytime through traffic. These roads would need to be reopened to through traffic during the late afternoon and for the evening. Given the close proximity of these roads to each other, only one road detour can be implemented at a time. New Hampshire Department of Transportation Prescott Road and Epping Road meet and tie into State Route 27 and Prescott Road at its most southern end meets and ties into State Route 107. The intersection of Harriman Hill Road and State Route 27 is a signalized intersection with loop detectors on the Harriman Hill Road leg of the intersection. This will require the coordination and posting of traffic management signs with the appropriate district office. 7. PROTECTION AND RESTORATION OF PROPERTY The Contractor shall use every precaution to prevent injury or damage to wires, poles, or other property of public utilities; trees, shrubbery, crops, and fences along and adjacent to the right-of-way, all underground structures such as pipes and conduits, within or outside of the right-of-way. The Contractor shall be responsible for all damage or injury to property of any character, during the prosecution of the work, resulting from any act, omission, neglect, or misconduct in his manner or method of executing the work, or at any time due to defective work or materials, and said responsibility will not be released until it has been repaired or replaced shall have been completed and accepted prior to completion of the Contract. When or where any direct or indirect damage or injury is done to public or private property by or on account of TOWN OF RAYMOND, NEW HAMPSHIRE BITUMINOUS CONCRETE PAVING OCTOBER 2023 any act, omission, neglect, or misconduct in the execution of the work, or as a result of the failure to perform work by the Contractor, the Contractor shall restore, at its own expense, such property to a condition similar or equal to that existing before such damage or injury was done, by repairing rebuilding, or otherwise restoring as may be directed, or the Contractor shall make good such damage or injury in an acceptable manner.
