5.0 Roles and Responsibilities
5.1 Resident Engineer (RE)
The Resident Engineer (RE) will be the point of contact during construction. The RE will ensure full implementation of the Transportation Management Plan in close coordination with the District Traffic Manager (DTM) so that disruption to the traveling public is minimized. The RE will work with the DTM to ensure that project activities conform to the Transportation Management Plan and that contingency plans are implemented if necessary. The RE will coordinate work activities with CHP and other local and regional transportation stakeholders as appropriate. If the City street detours and the CMS's on these detours need to be modified, the RE will direct the Contractor to make the adjustment. If the Contractor could not make such adjustment in a timely fashion, the City would make the adjustment. But under no circumstance will the City make the adjustment without first notifying the RE.

The District Traffic Manager is responsible, along with the RE, Construction Inspectors, and Public Information Officer (PIO) to ensure implementation of the Transportation Management Plan during the conduct of work.

The DTM will coordinate with the Transportation Management Center (TMC) staff to respond with appropriate measures when significant travel delays occur on the highway system. The DTM facilitates review, approval, modification, or disapproval of planned lane closure requests. The DTM recommends termination or modification of active planned lane closure operations without compromising the safety of the public or workers, when traffic impact becomes significant.
