§ 208-32. Additional responsibilities of contractor.

A. 

Preconstruction meetings. It shall be the responsibility of the person, contractor or public utility (as required under the public utility agreement, Section 16:25-9.2), wishing to conduct work on, under or above the roadway, to contact the Borough to arrange a preconstruction meeting with the Police, Public Works and Engineering Departments in order to submit plans for the safe movement of traffic during such periods of construction work. Any person, contractor or utility who fails to comply with this section prior to the start of such work or whose plans are not approved by these Departments shall be in violation of this section.

B. 

Emergency contact phone numbers. The person, contractor or utility shall provide the Traffic Bureau with at least two emergency contact phone numbers to be called in case of emergency problems at the construction or maintenance site prior to the start of any work. If, for any reason, emergency contacts cannot be reached, or if the emergency contact person does not respond to a call from the Police Department or Public Works Department to correct a hazardous condition, the Borough may respond to correct such hazardous condition. The reasonable fees for such emergency services by the Borough shall be charged to the person, contractor or utility responsible for such condition.

C. 

Time limits. There shall be no construction, maintenance operations or utility work on any roadway in the Borough before the hour of 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. This time limit may be adjusted to permit work prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. by the officer in charge of the Traffic Bureau of the Florham Park Police Department. If it is determined by the officer in charge of the Florham Park Police Traffic Bureau that construction or maintenance operations prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. would substantially delay traffic or cause a safety or health hazard, the time limits for performing such work shall not be adjusted. If any person, contractor or utility allows work to begin or continue outside of the specified time limits without obtaining permission to do so as set forth above, it shall be considered a separate violation for every fifteen-minute period that elapses prior to or after the specified time limit.

D. 

Road closings and detours. Road closings and/or detours shall not be permitted unless first approved by the Florham Park Police, Director of Public Works or the Borough Engineer.

E. 

Stop work. The Traffic Bureau of the Florham Park Police Department or the Director of Public Works of the Borough of Florham Park shall have the authority to stop work, including the removal of equipment and vehicles, stored material within the street right-of-way, backfilling of open excavations and/or other related work, in order to abate any nuisance and/or safety hazard or for any violation of this section.
