Flaggers shall conform to the requirements set forth in the MN MUTCD. All costs incurred to provide such Flaggers shall be incidental. (C) The Contractor shall provide two-way radios for Flaggers. Flaggers shall wear high visibility retroreflective safety vests, pants and hats at all times while actively flagging on the Project. High visibility apparel shall also comply with current Minnesota OSHA Rules 5207.0100 and 5207.1000. The Flaggers clothing shall be considered incidental. The Contractor shall keep the separation distance between the last sign in the "flagger ahead" signing sequence and the actual flagger to the amount shown in the Field Manual, whenever it is practical. The maximum separation distance allowed from the signs to the flagger shall be '/2 mile. The Contractor shall use multiple flagger signing set-ups or continuously move the signing for moving flagging operations to keep within the distance limit. The "flagger ahead" signing sequence shall not be in place when flagging operations are not in effect. The maximum distance between flaggers shall be 1/2 mile unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer. In the event a distance longer than one mile is authorized, the Engineer may order the Contractor to provide two pilot cars at no additional cost to MnDOT. All signs associated with the flagging operation must be removed or covered when flagging operations are not present. The Contractor will be subject to a non -compliant charge for failure to adhere to the requirements listed in this Section. These requirements include: providing two-way radios for flaggers, properly attired flaggers, flagging operation length requirements, and distance limit between the flagger and the last sign in the flagger sequence, and removing or covering flagger signs when flagging operations are not present. Non-compliance charges, for each incident will be assessed at a rate of $500 per incident that the Engineer determines that the Contractor has not complied. The charges may be assessed equally, separately, and may be assessed concurrently. The Contractor shall coordinate the flagging operations in a manner that causes as little delay to the traveling public as possible, and at no time shall the delay exceed 10 minutes. In the event that the Contractor is unable to meet the maximum delay requirements, operations shall shut down until such time a new traffic control plan is developed which does meet the maximum delay requirement. If hauling operations create hazards for the traveling public, the Contractor will be required to provide additional flaggers, as directed by the Engineer. All costs incurred to provide the additional flaggers shall be incidental. S-12.6 MILLING. SEALCOATING.

(B) Any drop-off where traffic will cross from or to the in place surface, or from or to the milled surface, shall be tapered and/or chamfered so as to provide for the safe passage of traffic. (C) The Contractor shall schedule construction operations to minimize traffic exposure to uneven lanes, milled edges, and edge drop-offs. Only after every attempt has been made to avoid these conditions and one or more of them are deemed necessary, the Contractor shall provide and maintain the appropriate traffic control in accordance with the "DROP OFF GUIDELINES" in the Field Manual. (D) The Contractor shall not mill any notches for surfacing tapers until immediately prior to paving, except that with the Engineer's permission, the Contractor may mill the notches, and install and maintain temporary bituminous tapers to provide for the safe passage of traffic until the surfacing taper is installed.
