The permittee shall take appropriate measures to assure that during the performance of the excavation work traffic conditions as near normal as practicable shall be maintained at all times so as to cause as little inconvenience as possible to the occupants of the abutting property and to the general public, provided that the Public Works Director may permit the closing of streets to all traffic for a period of time prescribed by him if in his or her opinion it is necessary. The permittee shall route and control traffic including its own vehicles as directed by the Public Works Director. The following steps shall be taken before any street may be closed or restricted to traffic:

A. The permittee must receive the approval of the Public Works Director therefore;

B. The permittee must notify the Chief of the Fire District of any street so closed;

C. Upon completion of construction work the permittee shall notify the Public Works Director before traffic is moved back to its normal flow so that any necessary adjustments may be made;

D. Where flaggers are deemed necessary by the Public Works Director they shall be furnished by the permittee at its own expense and shall be certified by the State of Washington pursuant to WAC 296-155-305. Through traffic shall be maintained without the aid of detours, if possible. In instances in which this would not be feasible the Public Works Director will designate detours. The City shall maintain roadway surfaces of existing streets designated as detours without expense to the permittee but in case there are no existing streets the permittee shall construct all detours at its expense and in conformity with the specifications of the Public Works Director.
