Rules Governing Navigation. The Contractor shall observe all laws, rules and regulations prescribed by the Supervisor of the Harbor, the United States Coast Guard, and the United States Corps of Engineers. Proper and sufficient temporary warning signs and lights for the prevention of accidents to boats shall be furnished and maintained by the Contractor, as required by Federal regulations. During the entire period of construction, no interruption of waterway traffic will be permitted for any length of time, unless specifically approved by the appropriate Federal agency(ies). Any protective measures specified herein shall be such that the channel depth and headroom between the water level and underside of the bridge or traveling platform shall be maintained. Should it be suspected that the channel depth may have been impaired or that an obstruction may exist from the Work, the Contractor shall, upon request by the Coast Guard or Army Corps of Engineers, or the Engineer, provide the necessary equipment and personnel to undertake a survey to determine the presence of any obstruction, objects, or silting that may have occurred during construction. The Contractor shall perform any such surveys at its sole cost and expense. For any bridge that crosses over water, the Contractor shall provide a safety net directly below the underside of the bridge to cover the entire Work area. The net shall be strong enough to catch any materials, debris or persons from falling into the water. The safety net shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. The Contractor shall also provide a fire-retardant asbestos free tarpaulin above the safety net and an asbestos free tarpaulin directly beneath the area where flame cutting, welding or any burning operations are being done. The material for and method of providing the fire-retarding asbestos free tarpaulin shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer.
