The Contractor shall maintain a clean and safe passageway for the Department, the Professional and others utilizing the facility. 1. Each Contractor shall insure that their Work shall not damage streets connecting to the Project, which shall be protected, from mud, sand, and stones/gravel. Streets and adjacent property sites shall be kept free from run-off, litter, and/or debris in any form from the project site. Mud, litter, and/or debris from the construction site that appears on adjacent property sites shall be removed immediately. All mud collected on vehicle tires shall be removed by each Contractor before leaving the construction area. If any mud or debris from the project site collects on the streets, it shall be removed immediately by the responsible Contractor to prevent any hazards to vehicular or pedestrian traffic, as well as from entering the storm sewer system. All streets and property sites adjacent to the project site shall be cleaned of construction related debris, dust, litter, and mud daily. 2. Each Contractor is prohibited from discharging any waste products from concrete trucks or from concrete coring work, or any other unsuitable materials, fluids or other products on the site, or into the storm sewer system. 3. If the responsible Prime Contractor fails to comply with these requirements, the Department reserves the right, with twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to the responsible Prime Contractor, to assign another Contractor to clean and/or remove mud, trash, litter, debris, or any unauthorized discharge from the project and/or the adjacent streets or properties. In such case, the cost of the cleaning and/or removal, or mobilization for cleaning and/or removal shall be deducted by the Department from the responsible Prime Contractor’s next Applications for Payment. C. The Contractor, and subcontractors of any tier, shall be responsible for and include in its bid, the cost for cleanup and removal from the site of its identifiable debris including, but not limited to, bulky debris, packaging containers, unused materials and equipment, and materials unsuitable for disposal by standard commercial procedures (i.e., masonry and concrete materials, crates, combustible items, etc.). D. If the Contractor(s) fails to maintain a satisfactory cleanup program, the Department will issue a twenty-four (24) hour written notice of deficiency. If the Contractor does not respond to the written notice from the Department, then the Department shall arrange for the performance of the cleanup and backcharge the Contractor(s) for all costs associated with the cleanup. E. All construction salvage materials, not including items specified elsewhere to be returned to the Department, become the property of the Contractor and shall be taken from the premises.
