Common use of Detours Clause in Contracts

Detours. Detours may be indicated on the plans or in the special provisions or may be used with the Department's approval. Unless otherwise designated in the Contract, the Design-Builder shall furnish, install and maintain all directional markings, for through-traffic on off-Project detours authorized or requested by the Department with the exception of municipalities. Municipalities shall be responsible for off-Project roadway maintenance within their own corporate limits. Detours over existing state roads shall be designated, marked, and maintained by the Design-Builder. Directional markings for detours shall include signs. Responsibility for installation and maintenance of the signs shall be in accordance with Section 512.03(a). If any project is located wholly or in part within a municipality's corporate limits and through traffic is to be detoured at the municipality's request, the municipality will provide and maintain the detours within the corporate limits and will furnish, install and maintain all directional markings. The provision of detours and marking of alternate routes will not relieve the Design-Builder of the responsibility for ensuring the safety of the public or from complying with any Contract requirements affecting the rights of the public within his Contract area of operations, including those concerning lights and barricades. Maintenance of all other detours shall be the Design- Builder’s responsibility. The Department will furnish the right of way for temporary highways, vehicular watercourse crossings, diversion channels, sediment and erosion control features or bridges required by the Contract.
