Property Owner Responsibility (continued): If you have special needs for ac- cess or if you have an appointment and you need to leave by a certain time and day, please let Matt know at least a day ahead of time so he can help make arrangements for access. If you are anticipating a special delivery, open house, or any other activity during the construc- tion schedule, please notify Matt of the time and date this will occur. The contractor and project staff will do their best to provide access. 5. Traffic Control: Please note that there will be signs /barricades stating the roadway is closed to thru traffic (these allow local traffic to access your property). • Residents should not move traffic barricades. Only construction and emergency personnel have legal authority to do this. • Residents should stay away from any construction equipment. Do not approach any equip- ment. If you need to ask a question, find a project employee who is in a pickup truck or walking on the grade. • People in vehicles should stay a safe distance back from any large construction equipment and dump trucks. Do not pull up right behind equipment/trucks as that may put you in the drivers blind spot as construction equipment/trucks will frequently back up. 6. Garbage Service: Garbage service will be available on your normal schedule. If the garbage truck doesn't have access to your home, it is the Contractor's responsibility to bring the garbage to the garbage hauler or make the street accessible. Please mark your garbage and recycling cans with duct tape containing your address to ensure you get your can back in the event the contractor needs to relocate them to make them accessible to the garbage hauler. The proposed work will require mailboxes to be removed. These mailbox- es will be delivered to each property owner for safe keeping. Temporary mailbox facilities will be placed in a location coordinated with the US Postal Service. Your address will be labeled on it. At the conclusion of that work, the contractor will re- install the original mailboxes. Delivery to temporary mail box locations will be communicated through a doorhanger once the temporary mailboxes are in place. The doorhanger will identify the date you begin to pick up your mail at the temporary location. 8. Driveways: Each driveway will be impacted by the proposed construction and will be replaced with the same surface type for only that portion impacted by the project. Homeowners who are considering hiring their own contractor to replace their entire driveway, please contact Matt Havlik to coordinate the work. Thank you for your patience! The project team will do its best to complete the project in a timely fashion and minimize disturbances to your property. Please be patient and if you have questions, call us!
