Subject: Traffic Signal Timing Type: Plan
Question Date: 3/17/2022 8:56:58 AM
There is a note on sheet 1J that states, "Traffic signal timing along the detour route will be adjusted as needed to accommodate the additional traffic volume. The Contractor will monitor the traffic and make adjustment as needed." Since there is no signal scope or pay items on this project will the department consider making signal timing adjustments internally. It would be costly to include a signal sub in the bid for adjustments that are not clearly defined. Please reconsider this portion of the detour work.  
Answer   Date: 3/17/2022 10:04:10 AM
The city of Harrisonburg owns the signal infrastructure on the detour route. VDOT will work with the city to adjust signal timing internally as needed on the detour route.
