Common use of SEQUENCE OF CONSTRUCTION Clause in Contracts

SEQUENCE OF CONSTRUCTION. It is essential that the construction proceed with no interference to Railroad operations. Continuity of safe rail operation will be required for the duration of the project. The Applicant should contact the Railroad Local Representative in the preliminary design stages to determine the Railroad operation requirements. The most effective method for maintaining traffic is to temporarily reroute Railroad traffic around the construction site using detour tracks (shooflys). Shooflys shall be designed per Section 4.1.1. The use of shooflys for the construction of the permanent structures will minimize traffic interference with railroad operations. However, if construction requires interruption of rail traffic or track and time windows, approval from the Local Service Unit Superintendent of the area is required. No design shall advance without written approval. Prior to the start of any construction on Railroad right-of-way, a Railroad Right-of-Entry Agreement (if applicable) is required per Section 2.3.
