Traffic Control in Work Zones: CONTRACTOR shall furnish, erect, and maintain all necessary barricades, warning, danger, and detour signs, suitable and adequate lights; provide watchmen where necessary to direct traffic; and take all other precautions to protect the work and the public. Streets, which are closed to traffic by authority of the City Manager, shall be adequately barricaded and marked with warning and detour signs, and lights at all intersections and crossings along the detours. Street closings and detour shall be implemented only as called for in the SPECIAL PROVISIONS or as shown on the Plans. The temporary detour shall be adequately marked throughout its length. All detour signing and routes shall be inspected and approved in writing by the Public Works Director prior to being put into use. It shall be the responsibility of CONTRACTOR to arrange such inspections. Detour routes shall be maintained in a safe and passable condition at all times as the detour is not longer necessary, the streets constituting the detour route shall be restored to a condition of ENGINEER. All required restoration in incidental to the Maintenance of Traffic pay item. Obstructions and barricades shall be lighted at night and such lights shall be kept burning from sunset to sunrise. All such signing shall be done in accordance with applicable OSHA regulations, Florida Department of Transportation, Roadway and Traffic Design Standards (booklet dated January 2000), and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), most current edition at date of bid. CONTRACTOR'S failure to properly maintain a safe Maintenance of Traffic program will result in all WORK being halted until such time as any unsafe conditions, as determined by the OWNER, have been corrected and made safe. No time extensions will be given for STOP WORK orders due to unsafe conditions. 17.
