3. Certain activities will disrupt live traffic lanes causing severe disruption and delay.
The proposed activities beyond the hours of 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM are as follows:
1. The sawing of concrete pavement. The timing of this activity is dependent on the rate at which the concrete cures. Sawing will be allowed at any time however the contractor should avoid the hours of 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM when possible.
2. General construction activities between the hours of 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM. This extends the work day to 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The intent is to prov...
