Consideration of Night Time Work on Major Road

Construction Projects. For every major road construction project initiated by the Department of Public Works

(DPW)on and after October 1, 2011, DPW shall consider and, where feasible in its judgment, ensure that such road construction work is performed no earlier than eight o’clock post meridiem (8:00 p.m.) and no later than six o’clock anti meridiem (6:00 a.m.). For the purposes of determining whether to engage in night time road construction work, DPW shall review the following: existing traffic volumes, congestion, traffic control measures and motorist safety; project cost, project quality, inspection obligations, highway user costs, workforce availability and availability of materials; work area lighting and worker safety; and other factors that DPW may deem necessary in the consideration of night time road construction work. When soliciting formal competition on public contracts for road construction projects, DPW shall require that any quotation or estimation for services be inclusive of the cost of night time road construction. DPW may also consider any recommendations and comments submitted by I Liheslaturan Guåhan, other government of Guam entities, and the general public regarding night time road construction work. DPW shall prepare a written report of its analysis of each project, setting forth such decisions and the reasons therefore, and such report shall be available to the public. Beginning January 31, 2012, and every two

(2)years thereafter, DPW shall submit a status report of the night time road construction projects to I Maga’lahen Guåhan and the Speaker of I Liheslaturan Guåhan. Such report shall include, but not be limited to, a description of each project in which night time road construction was authorized; the COL12302011 CH. 54 HIGHWAY PROJECTS success or failure, as determined by DPW, of the efforts to reduce traffic congestion using night time road construction work; a general comparison of project quality and overall costs against similar daytime road construction projects; and the safety record for night time road construction projects.
