Please clarify the intent of SP 15.E.1)a)&c).
1. Is section a)&c) referring to covering the cost of traffic control to repair the current condition of the roadways and also maintenance after construction starts?
2. Is section a) referencing repairing all devices within the project limits that are owned by the Maintenance Dept prior to removal and salvage for their pickup?
3. To what level are they to be repaired, brand new?

The intent of SP15.E.1)a) and c) is to maintain the existing roadway surfaces during construction. Repair of devices and roadway surfaces will be required if the damage occurred as a result of construction activities or detoured traffic. Maintenance and/or repair could also be required due to the increased traffic volumes anticipated on the off-ramps.  It is not the intent for the contractor to repair or replace MDT Maintenance owned devices prior to removal and stockpiling for pickup.

Special provision 15 part A says traffic control will be turned over to the contractor at the time of NTP. It also specifies to remove existing curb and delineators for pickup by Maintenance forces. Part E.3 states to "Remove and stockpile existing traffic control materials, Call someone."
1. Is this referencing the traffic control devices on site placed previously by the Maintenance Department?
2. Would Bill Lay be the someone we should call?
3. Can you please provide a summary and/or layout of the devices in use that the contractor must remove and stockpile so we have something to base our bid off of?

Special Provision 15.E.3) is hereby rescinded.  Refer to Special Provision 15.A. for contact  and coordination information.  The intent is for the contractor to remove and stockpile the existing curb and delineators.  MDT Maintenance will remove the curb and delineators from the stockpile location.  
The existing traffic control consists of:  approximately 20 pieces of curb - each approximately 10 feet long and approximately 6 surface mount delineators.  These numbers and lengths are for information only.  It is the contractor's responsibility to review the project site in accordance with Specification 102.06.

MDT's response to Q&A #1 says that the contractor is responsible for damage caused by the traveling public on the detour route. Special Provision 15.F, last sentence, states that the cost to repair the above damages is incidental to the project and not measured for payment. How is the contractor to quantity the risks/costs associated with unknown factors such as roadway/ramp section construction, loading from public traffic and so on. In the second to last sentence on 15.F, it's stated that needed maintenance or replacement of the existing cattle guards will be paid under Misc. Work as directed by the PM. Will MDT:
1)   Provide anticipated roadway repair quantities for potential damage caused by the detoured traffic so the scope and magnitude of work can by accounted for in an estimate: or
2)   Pay for damage caused by detoured traffic under Misc. Work as directed by the PM. This seems to be the most reasonable option to handle the unknown similar to the cattle guards. Potential damage caused by contractor activities should be covered by the contractor as stated.

The sentence stating, "The work specified in E.  Sequence of Operations 1)a) and c) is considered incidental to the project and will not be measured directly for payment." Is hereby removed from Special Provision 15. TRAFFIC CONTROL AND SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS and replaced with the following. 
 
"Repair of damaged roadway surfaces and devices within the project limits, as directed by the Project Manager, will be paid for under MISCELLANEOUS WORK if the damage was a result of detoured traffic.  Repair of damage to roadway surfaces and devices caused by construction activities or contractor operations will not be measured separately for payment."
