Road Improvement Plans. Owner shall submit road improvement plans to Road Department for approval prior to commencement of construction pursuant to DCC 17.40.020 and
Road Improvement Plans. At least 30 calendar days prior to Construction Start, NEMO shall provide final road improvement plans to the County detailing the road improvements that will be necessary for deliveries of heavy loads of materials and equipment (“Road Improvement Plans”). The plans will include expected road and turning radius expansions and intersection improvements (each a “Road Expansion”), culvert installations, improvements to strengthen box culverts or bridges, and the planned use of jump bridges, if any, and other improvements to be made incrementally as construction of the Project progresses to the Designated Roads to provide structural capacity for Project construction and subsequent operation. The Road Improvement Plans shall incorporate the road standards and specifications adopted by the County and those additional detailed specifications mutually agreed to by the Parties included in the attached Exhibit C (“Construction Standards”). Prior to commencing construction of improvements on the Designated Roads, the County shall have the right to provide input and reasonable recommendations and NEMO and the Project Engineer shall be required to consider such reasonable input and recommendations and incorporate them into the Road Improvement Plans; except, that, NEMO is not required to incorporate such recommendations or input into the Road Improvement Plans if (i) the County provides such input and recommendations more than 15 calendar days after receiving the Road Improvement Plans, (ii) incorporating such recommendations would materially increase the cost of the road improvements, (iii) incorporating such recommendations would conflict with the requirements or specifications provided by equipment suppliers, (iv) incorporating such recommendations would increase the construction timeline by more than 15 calendar days, (v) incorporating such recommendations would, in the reasonable discretion of the Project Engineer, cause an increased driving hazard or unsafe traffic condition, or (v) if incorporating the recommendations would violate any local, state, or federal law, rule or regulation or require any additional approvals by any governmental authority. The goal of the Parties is to use the most direct routes to and from the Project as practicable, limit the necessity of requiring the use of alternate routes by members of the general public, minimize disruption of traffic flows, and minimize the cost and scope of road improvements.
