Technical Advisory Committee

From:

Doug Bilse, Principal Engineer

Meeting Date:

November 1, 2018

Subject:

Coordination with Special Events to Minimize Construction Conflicts


RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Coordination with special events to minimize construction  conflicts for 2019 - 2020:

  1. RECEIVE second draft list of special events for 2019 - 2020;
  2. REQUEST that agencies provide updates to the list; and
  3. REQUEST that the updated list be included in project traffic control specifications to help avoid construction impacts.
SUMMARY:

Multiple regional and local projects are expected to begin construction in the next two years. This SECOND DRAFT LIST of major special event dates and corresponding set-up dates for all agencies will aid in scheduling construction detours, ramp closures, arterial street closures, and night/weekend work requirements to avoid construction conflicts and make these events successful. 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No direct financial impact.
DISCUSSION:
Each agency is requested to review the list and provide updates. The final list will be distributed to Caltrans as well as to local agencies as a tool to develop traffic control special provisions in major project specifications.  As an example, a project that requires a long term detour onto Highway 1 may have severe congestion implications during Monterey Car week. This spreadsheet tool helps the designer select specific "no Build" dates to insert into the project specifications, so that a contractor bidding on the construction will not incur lost work days or unexpected mobilizations costs.
