1 INTRODUCTION The project primary goal is to improve safety for the traveling public by providing stabilization to the falling rocks and reduce the potential for future removal of any hazardous fallen rocks.
The purpose of this Transportation Management Plan (TMP) is to address traffic impacts and provide operation strategies to be implemented during construction of the OR99E: Rockfall Mitigation project. It includes details behind the development of Traffic Control Plans (TCP) and other measures that will be put in place throughout construction to minimize disruptions to travelers and freight mobility without compromising public or worker safety and the quality of the work being performed. This TMP is a living document subject to additions and modifications throughout the life of the project.
1.1 PROJECT AREA BOUNDARIES The project site is located on the Pacific Highway East (OR99E), also known as SE McLoughlin Blvd, just south of downtown Oregon City and north of Canemah. The project consists of two locations identified by name and milepoint: (a) Tunnel Cut - located in the section between Tumwater Drive and railroad tunnel, just south of Main Street (M.P. 12.62- 12.87) and (b) North Canemah - located just north of Hedges Street along the Old Canemah Park (M.P. 13.15- 13.36). A vicinity of the project area is shown in Figure 1.

1.2 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS The main components of the project are listed below but not limited to the following: • Tree Removal • Perform rock slopes scaling • Install rock bolts • Repair slope mesh • Clear the catchment area and roadside ditch • Repave roadway in areas impacted by project as needed • Replace striping impacted by project as needed
1.3 TMP GOALS The primary purpose of the TMP is to address the construction related impacts of this project in a cost-effective and timely manner with minimal interference to the traveling public. Goals of this TMP include the following: • To describe the project construction footprint within the project limits. • To communicate any possible freight mobility construction delay factors. • To communicate what elements will be included in the project to mitigate for any anticipated disruptions to travelers and freight without compromising public or worker safety, or the quality of work performed. To accomplish these goals, the TMP incorporates the following elements: • Definition of project area boundaries • Roadway characteristics • Factors impacting construction staging • Potential mobility issues • Construction staging • Work zone lane restrictions • Traffic management and operation strategies • Incident management plan • Mobility communication plan
2 PROJECT AREA CHARACTERISTICS This section includes a summary of the existing transportation facility conditions within the project area relevant to this TMP, including roadway characteristics, traffic volumes and operations, other projects in the area and stake holders.
2.1 ROADWAY CHARACTERISTICS According to the 1999 Oregon Highway Plan, OR99E is a Regional highway, a federally designated Truck route, and a Reduction Review Route on the National Highway System.
OR99E runs north-south along the east side of the Willamette River. Running parallel between the river and the highway is the UPRR railroad, which has an at-grade alignment that crosses over the highway at the north end of the Tunnel Cut section. OR99E runs

through a tunnel under the railroad just south of the signalized intersection at Main Street. The major connections to OR99E are OR213, I-205, OR43 and Main Street to the north and to the south is 2nd Street and South End Road. Within the project limits, OR99E has a posted speed limit of 30 mph from M.P. 12.74 (near 3rd Street) to the north and to the south of this point through Canemah is 40 mph.
The project area of the rock slopes are both located on the east side of the highway separated by approximately half a mile. The northern Tunnel Cut section is located between two signalized intersections with Main Street to the north and 2nd Street is to the south. The southern North Canemah section is located along the Old Canemah Park, approximately 800 feet south of 2nd Street and just north of Hedges Street. Within the project limits, OR99E from 2nd Street to the north has two through lanes in each direction, except in the southbound direction where the inside southbound through lane (left lane) that turns into a left turn only lane at 2nd Street. To the south of 2nd Street intersection through Canemah, OR99E has one travel lane in each direction and a center two-way left turn lane, except for the northbound approach at 2nd Street which has two through lanes. The two northbound travel lanes develop from a single lane at approximately 950 feet south of 2nd Street intersection.
2.2 TRAFFIC VOLUMES The 2015 (2-way) annual average daily traffic (AADT) volumes and truck percentage on OR99E within the project area are summarized in Table 1. As shown, the volumes on the highway fluctuate within the project section, especially in the section between Main Street and 2nd Street. The increased in volumes are due to traffic getting off to and on from Oswego Highway (OR43) that crosses the Willamette River to the west side of town via Main Street and also traffic that comes from 2nd Street. Traffic volumes on OR99E decreased to the south of 2nd Street intersection.
Table 1: Existing Traffic Volumes Milepoint Location Description 2015 AADT Truck% 12.35 South of 8th Street 18,300 6.5 12.54 North of Main Street (OR43) 23,100 6.5 12.58 South of Main Street (OR43) 23,900 6.5 13.02 South of S. 2nd Street 17,000 6.5
The weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours turning movement counts were collected on OR99E at Main Street and 2nd Street in August 2, 2017. The peak hours for the OR99E corridor were determined to occur from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. There were low pedestrian activities observed during the peak periods at the study intersections. In addition, the weekday and weekend bi-directional hourly traffic volumes were collected on OR99E at approximately 700 feet north of Hedges Street in August 3-6, 2017. The 2017 weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hour traffic volumes at the study intersections with existing lane configuration are shown in Figure 2 and the weekday and weekend hourly volumes are summarized in Table 2. The northbound and southbound hourly counts on OR99E were also depicted graphically in Figures 3 and 4, respectively.

As shown in Table 2 and in Figures 3 and 4, traffic volumes on OR99E during the weekdays are high during the morning and afternoon peak periods in the northbound direction and during the afternoon period in the southbound direction. The weekend traffic peaks starting at midday through the afternoon periods for the northbound direction and during the afternoon periods for the southbound direction. In term of daily traffic volume, the southbound direction has higher volume than those in the northbound direction for both weekdays and weekend, except for Sunday in which the northbound direction as a higher volume. Also, traffic on Friday has the highest volume during the week. Traffic volumes on Saturday and Sunday are about 76% and 72% of the volumes on weekdays, respectively.

2.3 TRAFFIC OPERATIONS For the purpose of the analysis, Synchro/SimTrafffic was used for analyzing the study intersections under year 2017 existing condition and during construction with the proposed one-lane each way on OR99E. Table 3 provides a summary of the volume-to-capacity (v/c) ratios, average control delay, and resulting LOS for the study intersections.
Table 3: Existing 2017 AM & PM Peak Hour Traffic Operations Intersection Operations Existing Condition During Construction Peak Signalized Intersection Delay* Delay* Hour V/C* LOS* V/C* LOS* (sec) (sec) AM 0.51 10.6 B 0.52 12.3 B OR99E @ Main Street PM 0.86 29.8 C 1.18 91.8 F AM 0.69 51.0 D 1.02 46.4 D OR99E @ 2nd Street PM 0.75 20.7 C 0.83 19.4 B * V/C, Delay and LOS are based on Synchro HCM summary report for signalized intersection.
As shown in Table 3, both study intersections currently operates at LOS “D” with a v/c ratio of 0.86 or better in both the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. During construction with the proposed one-lane each way on OR99E, the study intersections would operate with a v/c over one during the p.m. peak hour at Main Street and during the a.m. peak hour at 2nd Street.
The City of Oregon City recently completed a project in June 2017 that replaced the waterline located on OR99E near 3rd Street, which is in the same location for the northern Tunnel Cut section of this project. During construction for the City project, the section of OR99E between Main Street and 2nd Street was staged from a 4-lane to a 2-lane section while maintaining one lane each way on OR99E. Traffic control set up for ODOT’s project will be staged similar to the City’s project. To reduce delay and improve the traffic flow along the OR99E corridor, signal timing adjustments are recommended on OR99E at Main Street and 2nd Street. In addition, it is also recommended to restripe the existing northbound outside through lane (right lane) on OR99E at 2nd Street into a dedicated right turn lane. This will improve the traffic operation by separating the through traffic heading straight on OR99E from traffic making the right turn onto 2nd Street.
3 FACTORS IMPACTING CONSTRUCTION STAGING This section includes an overview of the factors that impact construction staging: project schedule, proposed improvements and impacts to traffic flow, alternate routes, existing vehicle restrictions, environmental issues, seasonal restrictions, and construction noise regulations.
3.1 PROJECT SCHEDULE The scheduled bid date for this project is March 2018 and construction of the project will be completed by Fall 2018.
Draft Transportation Management Plan for OR99E: Rockfall Mitigation
September 14, 2017 Page 6
3.2 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS AND IMPACTS TO TRAFFIC FLOW The major work of the project is to stabilize the rock slopes, repair the pinned and draped meshes, and reconstruct the catchment area to prevent rocks from falling onto the highway. During construction, travelers can expect:
• Short-term lane and shoulder closures • Lane shifting around the work areas to create the needed work space • OR99E will be staged with on travel lane in each direction along the project section • Viewpoint areas may be closed for staging of construction vehicles and equipment • Flaggers on-site to help direct traffic as necessary and traffic may be stopped for up to 20 minutes during tree removal • May require paving in areas impacted by project • Temporary striping
3.3 ALTERNATE ROUTES No detour route is anticipated for this project. At least one travel lane on OR99E in each direction will be maintained throughout construction.
3.4 EXISTING VEHICLE RESTRICTIONS OR99E in the project area currently has no existing weight, height or width restrictions. However, currently there is a sign posted on southbound OR99E at the railroad tunnel indicating the vertical clearance of the tunnel is 14 feet 10 inches. Also, South End Road is currently has a 13-ton weight limit restriction for trucks due to a recent landslide in the area between Fifth Avenue and Barker Avenue. The roadway was temporary paved and reopened to traffic and a full complete rebuild of the roadway is currently in the design process.
3.5 ENVIRONMENTAL RESTRICTIONS Seasonal restrictions that may impact construction staging include warm weather construction requirements. Some construction activities such as paving or pavement marking installation require relatively dry and warmer conditions. These activities typically occur during the summer months, which paving is planned to occur at night. The project also includes removal of trees and vegetation, which will be done outside of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act that prohibits such activity during the March 1 through September 1 breeding season unless nest clearance surveys are conducted. The tree removal work for this project will be done under a separate contract and will be completed prior to March 1, 2018. For other environmental restrictions, please refer to section 00290 of the Special Provisions.
3.6 CONSTRUCTION NOISE REGULATIONS Construction activities of this project are expected to occur mostly during the day, except for paving which will be at night. All applicable noise control requirements and regulations will be complied with the City of Oregon City with the following restricted hours:
• Monday through Friday – 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. • Saturday – 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Draft Transportation Management Plan for OR99E: Rockfall Mitigation
September 14, 2017 Page 7
• Sunday – No restriction
For specific noise control, please refer to section 00290 of the Special Provisions.
4 POTENTIAL MOBILITY ISSUES This section includes a discussion of traffic mobility issues during construction, consideration of oversized vehicles, input from the public and stakeholders, agency coordination, and holidays and special events.
4.1 TRAFFIC MOBILITY DURING CONSTRUCTION During construction, traffic mobility will be impacted by delay incurred due to lane closures as well as lane shift to accommodate the work area. Concrete barriers will be installed between the traffic lane and work area. One lane of traffic on OR99E in each direction will be maintained throughout construction.
4.2 CONSIDERATION OF OVERSIZED VEHICLES During times of anticipated over-dimensional vehicles presence, maintain a minimum usable roadway width of 16 feet on OR99E for single lane during the day and 12 feet at night, and 28 feet for two lanes to allow for over-dimensional vehicles to pass through the work area.
If and when this project restricts width, length, height, or weight of vehicles through a work zone or detours trucks around a work zone, fill out and submit a completed copy of the “Highway restriction Notice-Size and/or weight” form (Form No, 734-2357), available from the ODOT Motor Carrier Transportation website, at least 35 calendar days before the restriction or detour takes effect.
4.3 INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC AND STAKEHOLDERS Keeping the public informed early and often and providing opportunities to give feedback are central to the public involvement efforts for this project. ODOT Community Involvement plans to hold up to two project open houses, including one online open house to inform the community about the project, construction activities, and expected impacts. Additional targeted engagement activities will be performed, as needed, to inform local businesses, neighborhood groups and associations, and local agencies and organizations about the project and potential impacts. A project website will also be developed to provide project information and updates to project stakeholders and highway users. Project team members will continue to coordinate with the public and project stakeholders throughout the design and construction process.
4.4 HOLIDAYS AND SPECIAL EVENTS Traffic within the area can be impacted by holidays and local special events. The major holidays are included in the ODOT standard specifications. Local special event that may create an increased burden on the project area include:
Draft Transportation Management Plan for OR99E: Rockfall Mitigation
September 14, 2017 Page 8
• Teddy Bear Parade – May 21, 2018 • Cruise to Downtown Oregon City – September 21, 2018 These special events will be listed in the project special provisions.
5 CONSTRUCTION STAGING The project will require tree removal in various locations prior to the rock slopes repair work. This work will be completed prior to March 1, 2018 and it will be done under a separate contract.
Construction of the project will be accomplished under two stages with the North Canemah section (Stage I) will be constructed first then follow by the Tunnel Cut section (Stage II). The majority of the work and complexity involved will be at the Tunnel Cut section. To minimize impact to the traveling public, Stage II will be constructed in two phases with construction near the railroad tunnel in Phase 1 and the remaining portion will be completed in Phase 2. During construction, the northbound travel lanes will be closed to accommodate the needed work space for equipment operation as well as safety for the workers. At least one travel lane on OR99E in each direction will be maintained and this can be accomplished by shifting northbound traffic into the center TWLTL for the North Canemah section, and for the Tunnel Cut section northbound traffic will be shifting and crossing over into the closed inside lane (left lane) on OR99E. There will be concrete barriers installed on OR99E to separate the work zone from traffic and temporary striping will be installed to better delineate the lane lines. Additional “Bikes on Roadway” signing will be installed to alert motorists. Also, the pedestrian path on the esplanade will be closed along the work area and pedestrians will be detoured to High Street and 1st Street to access the pedestrian bridge crossing OR99E and vice versa.
For specific detail of the staging plan, please refer to the traffic control plan prepared for the project. Work not shown on the project traffic control plan will be completed using the applicable Oregon Standard Drawings and Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) will be used for compliance.
In addition, the Guiding Principle Decision Tree form used in the development of the traffic control plans is provided in the Appendix (PL will set up a subteam meeting to facilitate in filling out the form and it will be included as part of this TMP when it becomes available). The decision tree form helps identify separation options available for the work zone and captures impacts to safety, mobility, delay, driver and bicycle/pedestrian convenience, and other impacts when assessing traffic control options. The general sequence for the proposed construction stages are provided in the following subsections.
6 L ANE CLOSURE RESTRICTIONS This section provides the lane restrictions that apply to the project. For up-to-date information regarding this section, please refer to the Project Special Provisions in section 00220 for details.

7 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION STRATEGIES In order to minimize construction impacts on traffic flow in the project area and promote work zone safety, the traffic management and operation strategies shown below should be considered to support the construction activities of the project.
7.1 PUBLIC INFORMATION AND OUTREACH Public information and outreach is beneficial for maintaining public support for projects, as well as for encouraging changes in travel behavior during construction. Making the public aware of the potential delays incurred while traveling through the project area or detour routes may encourage motorists to use alternate routes or plan trips to avoid peak construction activity times, which will help to manage congestion within the project area. ODOT Region 1 Community Affairs Unit will be responsible for communicating the project’s goals and impacts to citizens and citizen groups, elected officials, the freight community, businesses, and the traveling public (motorists and bike/pedestrian groups).
7.2 MOTORIST INFORMATION/ITS Providing motorists with real-time information helps to notify drivers of upcoming work zones and may alleviate congestion and delay. The information below identifies strategies that could be implemented in this project to provide motorist information. • Portable Changeable Message Signs (PCMS): PCMS is a portable electronic sign that can display changeable messages. They are useful when informing drivers of upcoming construction periods and warning drivers of construction activities as needed. • Ground Mounted Signs: Typically installed at the endpoints of work zones informing motorists of road construction and the possibility of delay. Ground mounted signage would also be needed to alert motorists of the availability of Highway Advisory Radio information if/when provided. • 511 (Highway Advisory Telephone): Inclusion of this project on ODOT’s statewide 511 highway advisory telephone system will help provide travelers with up-to-date information about construction activities and potential delays. • Planned Lane Closure Website: Information could be relayed either through a stand-alone website or as a link on the ODOT website or local television station and newspaper websites (e.g. KATU, KOIN, KGW, and The Oregonian). • TripCheck (ODOT’s ITS Website): TripCheck allows motorists to retrieve real time information and weather conditions via the Internet. In addition to the Internet, motorists may also call 511 to receive this same information.
7.3 CONSTRUCTION STRATEGIES Useful construction strategies as they pertain to this project are described below. • Off-Peak/Off-Seasonal/Night/Weekend Work: As much as possible, temporary lane should be undertaken during the off-peak or night time to avoid excessive congestion. Closures should adhere to the applicable restriction specifications.
Draft Transportation Management Plan for OR99E: Rockfall Mitigation

• Temporary Striping: When required, temporary striping on the travel lanes will be provided to direct and control traffic in areas where lane shifts are necessary. • Planned Lane and ramp Closures: Construction of the project will be staged with one lane in each direction be maintained throughout construction. • Pilot Cars: Pilot cars may be used during lane closures to facilitate and control the traffic flow to minimize delay. • Project phasing: Maintaining the existing travel lane configuration in each direction during construction will create less delay for motorists. Although phasing requires a longer construction period, it minimizes impacts to traffic. • Flagging Operations: The Contractor is allowed to use flaggers to facilitate traffic flow during construction activities. • Signal Timing Adjustments: Signal timing adjustments at the intersections of OR99E and Main Street as well as 2nd Street to improve the traffic flow. • Extended Weekend Closures: Weekend closures are advantageous because of greatly reduced disruption of AM and PM peak commuters. • Full-time traffic control supervisor (TCS): Having a full-time TCS on-site allows one person to be dedicated to traffic control and not be distracted by other construction activities. Benefits include the ability to make quick decisions and to implement contingency plans as needed. • Coordination with Adjacent Construction: The coordination of this project with other projects in the area will help to avoid unnecessarily compounding traveler delay. Currently, there is no planned City or ODOT’s project in the area that will impact the OR99E: Rockfall Mitigation project, except for the City work along the McLoughling Promenade sometimes in September/October of 2017. The contractor for ODOT’s tree removal work will need to coordinate with the City project to avoid conflict.
7.4 DEMAND MANAGEMENT • Temporary Lanes or Shoulder Use: When required, temporary lane-use of roadway shoulders as travel lanes will be limited to the greatest extent possible in areas where lane shifts are necessary.
7.5 ALTERNATE ROUTE STRATEGIES No detour route is needed for this project. Traffic mobility will be accommodated and bicyclists will share the road with traffic and “Bikes on Roadway” signing will be provided.
7.6 INCIDENT/EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT The possibility of a minor incident increases within construction zones. Given that minor incidents can potentially evolve into a major event, an incident management plan is a helpful tool to detect and remove incidents from the highway and restore traffic capacity as quickly

and safely as possible. The following information identifies strategies that could be implemented in this project if required to mitigate incidents. • Traffic Surveillances Stations/Closed Caption Television (CCTV): ODOT has positioned continuous traffic monitoring surveillance cameras at key locations along all major highways that can be accessed via ODOT’s website. There are CCTVs located in the project area (at Cascade Locks and Hood River-Exit 63) that could be utilized to monitor the traffic conditions. Furthermore, monitoring loops embedded in roadway pavement provides continuous data is kept by Portland State University Center for Transportation Studies. • Cell Phones: Mobile cellular telephones should be available at all times to quickly report incidents and emergencies within the project area. Make sure mobile cellular telephones have coverage in the construction area. • Full-time Traffic Control Supervisor: Response time to incidents is generally faster when there is a full-time traffic control supervisor (TCS) on-site to make quick decisions and implement contingency plans as necessary.
8 INCIDENT MANAGEMENT PLAN Incident management is a planned and coordinated program that detects and removes incidents from the highway and restores traffic capacity as safely and quickly as possible. The Contractor will have a responsibility to aid in managing incidents within the work area to minimize their impact on the overall mobility of OR99E. The Emergency Communication Plan and Contingency Plan are two important tools for incident management that are described in the following sections.
8.1 EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION PLAN The Emergency Communication Plan describes how communication will occur and lists important contact information for responding to an incident. Important elements include: • Goals and objectives of the plan. • Key contacts and their contact information. • Emergency and essential services contacts. • Definitions of emergencies and the appropriate response and communication for each type of emergency. • Roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders who execute the plan.
Maintaining an updated list of emergency contacts for use in the event of an incident shall be the responsibility of the contractor.
8.2 CONTINGENCY PLAN As a part of an Incident Management Plan, the Contingency Plan includes both traffic and contractor contingency plans. The traffic Contingency Plan addresses specific actions that will be taken to restore or minimize effects on traffic when the congestion or delay exceeds original estimates due to unforeseen events such as work-zone accidents, higher than

predicted traffic demand, or delayed lane closures. The contractor Contingency Plan addresses activities under the contactor’s control in the work zone.
9 MOBILITY COMMUNICATION PLAN The Construction office will follow the guidelines of this Project Level TMP, the Project Communication Plan, Mobility Considerations Project Checklist, and MCTD Restriction Notification Form#734-2357. The Contract Special Provisions will contain language requiring the contractor to provide all local emergency agencies advance notification of the project construction start up and lane closures. Notify MCTD and Region 1 Mobility Coordinator as required for lane closures and any unanticipated vertical or horizontal freight mobility restrictions.

ADT ADT 19,066 AADT 19,066 Emergency Communication Plan Template
Advance communication prevents community problems Communication is the cornerstone of a successful project. Much advance work has been done on this project to inform the public of impacts they can expect during construction, and to listen to community concerns so ODOT can minimize adverse impacts as much as possible. It is important that we keep our commitments and provide advance warning to the community when impacts are expected. This is a daily commitment shared by the project office, contractor and staff from both community and public affairs. In addition, there will be times when an emergency or crisis demands a quick communication response. This plan addresses such unexpected occurrences.
A prompt and accurate response Prompt dissemination of information ensures that people are informed of what is happening and how they might change their plans to mitigate the event's affect on them. It is also vital because if the Oregon Department of Transportation does not tell its story right away, someone else – a motorist, a witness, someone who potentially has fewer facts – will tell the story for us.
Accurate information – even when it is not good news – lends credibility to ODOT and its desire to keep the public informed. It goes hand-in-hand with timely communication in allowing the public to make decisions based on the facts available.
Coordination with other agencies before releasing information is critical. All agencies involved in an emergency – local, state, federal, and private sector partners – should communicate the same messages. Conflicting messages damage the credibility of all participating agencies. The public may not take appropriate action to protect themselves or others if they receive conflicting information.
The importance of a communication plan A plan ensures that all pertinent information – names, phone numbers, key messages, action plan outline, time line, media strategies, etc. – are in the possession of designated emergency/crisis responders so that response can be prompt, accurate and coordinated.
This emergency communication plan is designed to provide a basic outline for how to respond to some of the emergencies or crises that may occur during the project. It gives clear and systematic directions for establishing a chain of command, prioritizing audiences, developing messages, and delivering them in an organized fashion to a variety of audiences: employees, the media, the public. It is vital that responses be coordinated so that ODOT, its contractors, subcontractors and jurisdictional partners speak with "one voice" throughout all stages of the crisis and the public does not receive conflicting messages.
Who is the audience? During an emergency, ODOT has two primary audiences. The first group is the people who need to act to help respond to the emergency: police, fire, medical, and HAZMAT.
The second group needs information in order to protect/prepare themselves. Included in this group are local businesses, residents, motorists and the media.
Types/definitions of emergencies/crises As stated before, an emergency is anything that has the potential to harm life, property or the environment. Erosion of the public's confidence in ODOT on this project is also considered a crisis. The OTIA bridge projects have the potential for all four. Emergencies can take many different forms and each requires a different level of response. This plan will address some of the many kinds of emergencies/crises that may occur on this project. Please remember, all emergencies/incidents, big or small require a prompt, accurate and coordinated response.
• Release of contaminates into the air/water The accidental release of contaminates into the air/water (regardless of fault) would be considered an emergency. It has the potential to harm life (human and animal) by contaminating the environment.
• Unanticipated traffic or pedestrian delays or detours Despite everyone’s best efforts to communicate construction impacts on traffic, there will be times when lanes or ramps are closed longer than expected. Every effort must be made to avoid these situations. The traffic control plans and contract provisions for lane and ramp closures are included to prevent major traffic disruptions. In the event of an unanticipated traffic delay, it is essential that the project staff work with the contractor to reopen lanes or ramps as soon as possible. Liquidated damages may be applied against the contractor for these incidents, but ODOT needs to maintain safe traffic flow on our roadways. When these incidents occur, the public affairs and community affairs staff need to be involved early in the incident to help coordinate the flow of information through the news media and other information distribution channels.
• Vehicle accident/incident (non-injury) Much of Oregon’s highway and bridge construction takes place "under traffic." This means construction crews share roadway space with thousands of motorists every day. Work-zone wrecks (regardless of fault) would be considered an emergency.
An incident/accident would be defined as any occurrence involving damage to private property or vehicles. This also includes any unplanned incident that delays traffic for 20 minutes or more. Please use good judgment and call if there is any doubt. A minor incident can attract the attention of the public or media.
• Serious vehicle accident/incident (injury/death) Accidents/incidents resulting in injury/death of motorists, passengers, and construction workers would be classified as extremely serious. If such a situation occurs, prompt notification is critical.
• All pedestrian/bicycle incidents Pedestrian facilities are defined as either formal sidewalks or informal pathways that appear to be used frequently. Incidents occurring on pedestrian facilities, bicycle lanes or the adjacent roadway (regardless of fault) would be considered an emergency that needs to be reported to the appropriate project authorities, including public and community affairs staff. Closures of pedestrian facilities must be clearly thought through, discussed with public and community affairs and with pedestrian facility authorities. All discussions of closures must include alternate/detour route considerations.
• Citizen Reports of Incidents Depending on when an incident occurs, the District Office may be made aware of it before the inspector or construction office. This is especially true on weekends and outside of regular work hours. While the chances of a serious incident at the site drop dramatically during non-work hours, there is still the potential. Frequently, citizens report relatively simple issues like barrels or signs that have been knocked over or steel plates that have started to move. These issues are not the responsibility of the Maintenance offices and must be dealt with immediately. Once again, a prompt response is crucial.
Roles and Responsibilities The reporting structure and roles/responsibilities are keys to a successful emergency communication effort. The following briefly outlines those roles/responsibilities when an incident occurs:
ODOT's on-the-scene inspector notifies ODOT's Project Coordinator ______, who notifies Project Manager ______and Assistant Project Manager ______, who notifies Public Affairs Manager ______and Traffic Manager ______. Until further notified, the on-scene inspector will be the main, on-site representative, and will be considered the communication link to key ODOT personnel only. This individual will not talk to the media or general public, or discuss the situation with anyone other than key contractor personnel.
Project Manager ______or his designee notifies Area Manager ______and Region Manager ______. Region Manager ______will notify ODOT District ___ Manager ______, and Maintenance/Operations Manager______. Public Affairs Manager ______will notify Community Affairs Manager ______. These individuals, including Public Affairs Manager ______and Traffic Manager ______will determine lead roles/spokesperson(s). These individuals will also determine the course of action/response to the emergency, identify key messages and further define roles and responsibilities.
If deemed necessary, Public Affairs Manager ______will identify/coordinate a second on-the-scene ODOT representative. He will notify key multi-jurisdictional communication team members as necessary/needed. He will also act as spokesperson and will coordinate any off-site or on-the-scene information/command center, if necessary. Community Affairs Manager ______will be responsible for notifying businesses, the general public and residents who may be impacted by the incident, and will coordinate any special needs with the incident command staff.
Once a course of action has been determined, Area Manager ______or his designee will alert the appropriate agencies:
• State and local police/fire/rescue • Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife • Oregon Department of Environmental Quality • Federal Environmental Protection Agency
The contractor and sub-contractors are employees of ODOT. They will participate in the emergency response as determined necessary by ODOT or by contractual obligation. Contract employees will not talk to the media/general public, or discuss the situation with anyone other than with key ODOT personnel.
Information Sources Recorded ODOT highway construction information is available 24 hours a day by dialing 503- 223-0066.
The project hot line number 503-______-______is available 24 hours a day for crisis calls.
Contingency Plan Guidelines
Explanation A Contingency Plan includes both traffic and contractor contingency plans. The traffic contingency plan addresses specific actions that will be taken to restore or minimize effects on traffic when the congestion or delay exceeds original estimates due to unforeseen events such as work-zone accidents, higher than predicted traffic demand, or delayed lane closures. The Contractor’s contingency plan addresses activities under the contactor’s control in the work zone.
Documentation Prior to construction, the Contractor is required to provide the following documentation to be kept on hand at each construction site.
1. Communication, Roles and Responsibilities – A plan for lines of communication, individual roles and responsibilities shall be developed by the Contractor. The contractor shall designate an individual (such as the Traffic Control Supervisor) as a point of contact within their organization. The Contractor’s plan should clearly state lines of communication and authority within their organization as well as reference those outlined in the Emergency Communication Plan or Mobility Communication Plan as applicable.
2. Contractor’s Contingency Plan – The Contractor shall develop a contingency plan for each construction site based on site specific conditions.
3. Contingency Plan Trigger Points - The following conditions or events will require a Contingency Plan to be implemented (documentation of these trigger points shall be included in the Contractor’s Contingency Plan):
Weather Conditions: ______Traffic Conditions (e.g. high traffic demand level): ______Other Events (e.g. accidents): ______
4. Coordination Strategy – The Contractor shall develop a coordination strategy. Any contracting personnel recognizing a condition that would warrant implementing a Contingency Plan shall notify the Traffic Control Supervisor or other individual that has been designated as a “Point of Contact” for the contracting organization. The contracting organization’s representative shall conduct coordination efforts as outlined in the Coordination Strategy. The Coordination Strategy shall include any special agreements between individuals or agencies. Individuals to be involved in the Coordination Strategy should be included on the Project Contact Information List.
5. Project Contact Information – The Contractor shall develop and maintain a contact list of key project personnel (e.g. Traffic Control Supervisor, Resident Engineer, Maintenance Supervisor, Permit Inspector, State Patrol, and other ODOT representatives). Contact information for individuals on the Emergency Communication Plan and Mobility Communication Plan should also be included. See attached sample forms.
6. Traffic Contingency Plan – The Contractor shall develop a contingency plan to restore minimum operating capacity of the roadway.
7. Required Resources – The Contractor shall provide a list of available of stand-by equipment required for implementation of Contingency Plans. This list should include location of equipment and quantities if appropriate. Examples of items that may be included on the list are: portable changeable message signs, concrete barrier relocation equipment, etc. In addition, include the availability of local ODOT personnel for callout (normally requiring a Cooperative Agreement).
