A.    All contractors working within the City of Flagstaff, both on public property or private property, shall perform their work in such a way as to minimize the dust, dirt, mud, trash and other debris that leaves, by any means, the construction area. This may include necessary watering (the use of City reclaimed wastewater is encouraged and it is required on all major construction activity in accordance with Section 7-03-001-0015, Cross Connection Control), a dust palliative, silt fencing, best management practices, or whatever else that may be necessary to protect private and public property from undue inconvenience or hazards.

B.    Any public or private property that is damaged, soiled, muddied, or otherwise marred shall be restored and returned to its original condition by the contractor, developer or property owner. This work may include repairs to street pavement, removal of mud and debris, street sweeping, watering (the use of City reclaimed wastewater is encouraged), and other work as necessary to restore the public property to its previous condition. The restoration of private property shall include sweeping, debris removal, and other clean-up or repairs needed to restore the private property to its original condition.

C.    When, in the opinion of the City Engineer, Street Superintendent, or Chief Building Official construction activity results in undue inconvenience or hazards to the public, the City Official may give a written order instructing the contractor to do any of the following:

1.    Change the work methods causing the damage or hazard within a specified time frame.

2.    Perform the necessary clean-up work or repairs to remove the damage or hazard.

3.    Cease immediately the construction activity causing the damage or hazard.

D.    The contractor or property owner, if no contractor is on the project, is responsible for any needed clean-up resulting from the construction activity on the property owner’s project. This responsibility shall include damage resulting from vehicles or machinery of the subcontractor and materials suppliers.

E.    Should the contractor or property owner not perform the needed repair or clean-up within twenty-four (24) hours of written order, the City may arrange for the needed clean-up or repairs to be performed. The contractor or property owner, as the case may be, shall pay the cost of the clean-up or repairs to the City prior to the acceptance of the public improvements or occupancy of on-site buildings. Any unpaid charges may be collected from any sureties for the project on deposit with the City.

F.    Contractor shall not store material within the rights-of-way of public streets without the written permission of the City Engineer or his authorized representative. When allowed, storage shall be performed to minimize inconvenience and hazard to the public. A traffic control plan shall be submitted by the contractor for review by the City Traffic Engineer. The Traffic Control Plan shall show all devices necessary to conform with MAG Part 400. Under normal conditions, storage of materials will be allowed only on streets closed to public travel.

G.    The City Engineer may direct that the contractor access construction sites by routes causing the least potential inconvenience and damage to public and private property. This direction may include the use of alternate routes for construction vehicles, workers access to the construction site and delivery materials. (Ord. 2017-22, Rep&ReEn, 07/05/2017)
