Common use of IN FIELD FINAL TUNING Clause in Contracts

IN FIELD FINAL TUNING. (1) For each signal system to be timed, Engineer shall make recommendations and respond to questions in the field during the fine tuning process. Engineer shall document the field visit and provide documentation to the State. (2) When the new timing plans are operational, Engineer shall provide one or more qualified engineers for on-site fine tuning. The engineer or engineers must observe the actual operation of the new timing plans and recommend field adjustments to improve traffic operations. (3) At State’s request, Engineer shall perform field adjustments. (4) Engineer shall notify State at the beginning and ending of the implementation. (5) During implementation, Engineer shall document interim adjustments to an intersection’s signal timing on the timing sheet located in that intersection’s traffic signal controller cabinet. (6) Once final timing is established, Engineer shall upload each intersection’s traffic controller programming into an appropriate database program (typically Econolite Centracs or Eagle Actra) and generate the following for each intersection: (A) Controller data file (e.g., *.db or *.int) file, which Engineer shall e-mailed to State, (B) PDF file of the signal timing, which Engineer shall e-mailed to State, and (C) Hardcopy of the signal timing, which Engineer shall place in that intersection’s traffic signal controller cabinet.
