(A) The permittee shall maintain traffic through the project at all times in conformance with KTC Item 112. The contractor shall adequately mark, through the use of barrels, flashing lights, portable gates and/or other devices approved by the Director of General Services, the limits of the project area and those areas of the site which are temporarily closed to traffic.
(B) During the course of the normal working day, the permittee shall insure the safety of the public by providing a sufficient number of flaggers to assist the traffic flow through the construction area. If, at the completion of the normal working day, any trench for utility construction has not been completely backfilled and restored, a temporary cover properly secured, such as a metal plate or another approved device, shall be placed over the portion of the trench remaining open. Improperly secured temporary covers requiring emergency service by the city shall be billed directly to the public utility.
(C) The permittee shall notify the residents and businesses at least 48 hours in advance of when their drives will be blocked during construction, except during emergency repair work. If business property is involved, an alternate access must be provided if blockage exceeds one hour, except during emergency repair work. Length of residential driveway closures shall be kept to a minimum.
