*[INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING FOR RUSH HOUR RESTRICTIONS]{.mark}*

\$\$156.03A

156.03. Add the following:

Rush hours are defined as:

> *[(insert rush hours; use full time format, i.e. 5:00 a.m., 3:30 p.m.,
> etc.)]{.mark}*

Perform the work during the time periods specified. Schedule and perform
the work so as not to interfere with traffic during rush hours.
Installing traffic control devices before a rush hour is over, or
failing to complete work and remove traffic control devices before a
rush hour begins, will be considered Contractor noncompliance.
Noncompliance will result in a reduction in payment to the Contractor
equal to \$[(*insert amount*)]{.mark} per hour, for each hour or portion
thereof. This reduction in payment will be subtracted from the
Contractor's progress payments and will be unrecoverable.

The CO reserves the right to review the Contractor's progress before
rush hour begins. The CO may direct the Contractor to stop operations to
ensure the Contractor completes all work, including the removal of all
lane restriction traffic control devices and installation of rush hour
traffic control devices before rush hour begins.

Comply with all of the requirements of the Traffic Control Plan and
adequately maintain all of the devices required. Clean, service, and
replace all traffic control devices when they become inoperative,
damaged, or when the specified reflectivity of the device is reduced by
50 percent. The Contractor will be given written notice of those traffic
control items not in compliance with the Contract. Revise the identified
items into compliance within 24 hours. If the Contractor fails to bring
the specified items into compliance within the 24-hour period, the CO
may assess a daily reduction in payment to the Contractor of \$[(*insert
amount, typically ½ of the liquidated damages amount*)]{.mark} per day.
The CO may continue to assess the daily reduction in payment for each
additional 24-hour period until the items are corrected. This reduction
in payment will be subtracted from the Contractor's progress payments
and will be unrecoverable. Use of this reduction in payment does not
waive the CO's right to suspend the work in whole or in part according
to Subsection 108.05.
