Provide the constant attention necessary to progress the Work according to the
Contract Documents. Cooperate with the Engineer, inspectors, and all other
contractors on or adjacent to the Project.
105.06 Superintendent. Provide a Superintendent for the Project that is
available and responsive at all times and is responsible for all aspects of the Work,
irrespective of the amount of subcontract Work. The Superintendent must be
capable of reading and understanding the Contract Documents and experienced in
the type of Work being performed. The Superintendent shall receive instructions
from the Engineer or the Engineer’s authorized representatives. The
Superintendent shall promptly execute the Engineer’s orders or directions and
promptly supply the required materials, equipment, tools, labor, and incidentals.
105.07 Cooperation with Utilities. Unless otherwise provided for by the
Contract Documents, the Department will direct the utility owners to relocate or
adjust water lines, gas lines, wire lines, service connections, water and gas meter
boxes, water and gas valve boxes, light standards, cableways, signals, and all other
utility appurtenances within the limits of the proposed construction at no cost to
the Contractor.
The Contract Documents will indicate various utility items and indicate a time
frame or date when the Department expects the owners to complete utility
relocation or adjustment. Provide utility owners adjusting facilities during
construction with adequate notification of the scheduled Work to prevent conflict
with the Contractor’s schedule of operations.
When bidding, consider all permanent and temporary utility appurtenances in
present and relocated positions as shown in the Contract Documents.
According to ORC 153.64 and at least 2 Workdays prior to commencing
construction operations in an area that may affect underground utilities shown on
the Plans, notify the Engineer, the registered utility protection service, and the
owners that are not members of the registered utility protection service.
The owner of the underground utility shall, within 48 hours, excluding
Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, after notice is received, start staking,
marking, or otherwise designating the location, course, ±2 feet (±0.6 m), together
with the approximate depth of the underground utilities in the construction area.
If the utility owners fail to relocate or adjust utilities as provided for in the
Contract Documents and the Contractor sustains losses that could not have been
avoided by the judicious handling of forces, equipment, and plant, or by
reasonable revisions to the schedule of operations, then the Engineer will adjust
the Contract according to 108.06 and 109.05.
