The OMP is a key component of our mandatory Integrated Management System (IMS) that embodies ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management Systems, ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems and our Safety Management System, which complies with the requirements of OHSAS 18001. Figure 1 – Integrated Management System The purpose of the Operational Management Plan (OMP) sets forth the approach, procedures, and implementation for the day to day management of the project, in particular: Employment and training of competent personnel to carry out all aspects of the Operations Management Plan SH121 Toll Project 3 Chapter Name Here Coordination of activities of other entities with interests within the Project limits Incident response and reporting Traffic operations restrictions, including periods of lane closure restrictions Tolling integration with other tolling agencies Standard operating and communication procedures for Emergency preparation, response, and recovery, including impacts from extreme weather conditions Planning and coordination with all affected Governmental Entities, including Emergency Services Liaison procedures with any Traffic Management Centers that TxDOT or other entities may establish Analysis of vehicular accident patterns to identify safety issues and implement cost effective solutions to maximize safety Containment and disposal of Hazardous Materials spills Prompt investigation of reports or complaints received from all sources Management and Policing of Abnormal Loads SH121 Toll Project 4 Chapter Name Here A.2 Definitions A.2.1 OMP SPECIFIC DEFINITIONS The controlling or booking of sections of roadway by location, Roadspace lane and time to coordinate conflicting maintenance programs and third party requirements. An unplanned event caused by vehicular collision or severe Incident weather causing the implementation of the Incident Management Plan (IMP) The closure or part closure of one or more trafficked roadway Traffic Management lanes, edged by delineators, closed by temporary or permanent coning Centre for the control of the movements and activities of each Control Room emergency service’s personnel and equipment. Liaises with the other services’ control rooms. An officer at the scene who commands the tactical response of Incident Officer his/her respective service. Cross-boundary arrangements under which emergency Mutual Aid Arrangements services, local authorities and other organizations request extra staff and/or equipment for use in a disaster. Actions taken in order to allocate priority in allocating Tactical resources, to plan and Co-ordinate and to manage the receipt and dissemination of information for an incident. A.2.2 ROADWAY TECHNICAL DEFINITIONS Those roadways located on the ITR that are closed to the general public and are intended only for use by maintenance, Access Roads inspection or utility traffic. These are low-type pavements constructed of gravel, grindings, or earth. Asphalt A brown to black solid material, soluble in gasoline or naphtha. An area where the Asphalt mix is too rich, causing the Asphalt Bleeding material to ooze to the surface in puddles and leaving a slick and slippery area. A structure consisting of single or multiple spans more than 20 feet in length that provides a means of transit for vehicles Bridge and/or pedestrians above the land, water surface, roadway, rail road or other obstruction. Litter, rubbish, vegetation, rocks, dead animals, spilled Debris materials, brush or other items which are not part of or which impede drainage. Litter Trash, Debris, waste, refuse, accident and construction residue. SH121 Toll Project 5 Chapter Name Here Displacement of rigid type pavement by a combination of vertical and horizontal stresses due to expansion or contraction Heave or Settle of the Sub grade. When Heave or Settlement in a concrete pavement is caused by pavement expansion from excessive heat, it is also commonly referred to as a pavement blowup. The portion of the multi-lane traveled way extending from Mainline Shoulder line to Shoulder line or from curb line to curb line. An area where a piece of pavement has broken free and been Pothole removed, leaving a hole. The portion of the traveled way that provides access between Ramp the Mainline and the local street network, extending from Shoulder line to Shoulder line or from curb line to curb line. The progressive loosening of the material in the courses of a Raveling road as aggregates separate from the Asphalt binding material. Placing of one or more new layers of material on an existing Resurfacing pavement surface. Deformations in which the surface of the pavement has worn Rutted and Shoved into longitudinal ruts due to repetitive passes of vehicle tires, or Pavement transverse corrugations due to vehicle deceleration and acceleration. The portion of the roadway extending from edge of the Shoulder Mainline or Ramp pavement to the unpaved top of earth embankment, or to the base of a barrier wall. An auxiliary course to furnish needed stability, usually due to Subbase poor Subgrade. That portion of the roadbed on which pavement, surfacing, Subgrade base, Subbase, or a layer of any other material which may be specified, is to be placed. Pavement surface treatment which consists of milling off approximately 1 ¼ “ of surface and replacing it with new Wedge and Level Asphalt surface material. This process is used to extend the life of relatively sound pavements that are beginning to show minor to moderate surface distresses.
