As construction activities continue during this pandemic, specialized plans and protocols need to be in place to maintain safe and healthful worksites. SAFETY PLANNING: In addition to existing health, safety, and sanitation regulations, the United States and the State of Washington have instituted additional proclamations and rules surrounding the COVID 19 virus that must be followed. To demonstrate compliance with applicable requirements, the Contractor shall provide written correspondence before commencing the project describing project specific safety plan(s) outlining additional procedures and measures that will be put in place to address COVID 19. Because this is a pandemic which is evolving rapidly, when warranted, it is expected that these project-specific safety plan(s) will be updated by the Contractor to reflect the most current rules in effect. Safety planning will result in mutual benefits to the Contractor, its workers and subcontractors, and the Contracting Agency. There may be conditions where COVID-19 safety planning cannot reasonably mitigate project issues or be addressed through other project options, and the Contractor is directed to the project bid documents and Standard Specifications, as incorporated, for guidance.
