18 MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC The Developer shall be responsible for designing, providing, and maintaining safe and effective traffic control 24 hours a day for the duration of the Project. All traffic control devices shall be furnished, erected, maintained, and removed by the Developer. Maintenance of traffic (MOT) shall be implemented in a manner that minimizes both construction duration and impact to the traveling public. This section defines specific requirements, restrictions, and allowable closure durations for travel lanes. If in the opinion of the Department, the Developer fails to comply with the requirements of the Traffic Management Plan (TMP) and the Contract, the Department shall suspend Work until all requirements are met. Any costs or delays incurred as a result of the failure shall be the full responsibility of the Developer.

This section includes the requirements for allowable outages and number of lanes to maintain; many of these requirements affect the construction of the tie-ins and the mainline bridge rehabilitations.

At the commencement of the Project, I-90 traffic will be operating in the Bi-Directional Condition. This configuration provides two eastbound lanes and four westbound lanes on the viaduct bridge constructed in CCG1. Alternate route plans described later in this Section 18 will be in place at commencement of the Project. The Westbound Alternate Route Plan (WARP) shall remain in place until the Bi-Directional Condition is removed from I-90 westbound. The Eastbound Alternate Route Plan (EARP) shall remain in place until Substantial Completion.

The construction of the interchanges in the Tremont and Gateway Districts and the tie-in to the original I-90 alignments at each end of the Project will require a clear and well communicated MOT scheme that addresses the phase construction of the ramps to and from these districts and the tie-ins. Due to the ramp closures, impacts to the local street grid beyond the Project Limits are anticipated. The Developer shall perform additional traffic counts and analysis at intersections to be determined. These locations will be dependent upon the TMP proposed by the Developer. The Department will provide the original Synchro model for downtown traffic and the CCG1 Synchro model updated for the Bi-Directional Condition prior to implementation. The Developer shall provide updates to the Synchro modeling data so the City of Cleveland Traffic Engineering can adjust existing signal timings on the local street grid for the anticipated changes in traffic patterns during construction.

Work being performed under the CCG1 contract will be substantially complete at the commencement of this Project. However, the CCG1 contractor may have work remaining to complete. The DBT shall coordinate and cooperate with the CCG1 contractor and contractors for other projects that may be active in the Project area. The Developer shall notify the Department when potential conflicts arise that impact Work schedule or MOT.
