Information
Deposits and Financial Security
Projects involving work within public right of way in the City of Springfield are subject to deposits or other approved forms
of financial security that may include performance bonds, set-aside letters, or irrevocable letters of credit. The type of
financial security is determined by the project's size, scope, and potential impact to public infrastructure. Examples of typical
impacts that will require financial security include asphalt trench cuts and sewer repairs that involve cuts to a main line.
Warranties
Financial security is held by the City during a warranty period that typically lasts one year and begins when the project
passes final construction inspection. The warranty period allows the City to monitor the structural integrity of repairs and
determine their long-term viability. Financial security provides the City with the means to repair infrastructure should
failures that remain uncorrected by the applicant or applicant's representative occur during the warranty period. A final
warranty inspection will be conducted eleven months after the final construction inspection. Financial security will be
released when the warranty period has passed final inspection.

Shoulder Work w/ Minor Road Encroachment Diag. 300
Use this detail for non-freeway work which extends into a travel lane and
maintains a minimum 10 foot travel lane. If a minimum 10 foot travel lane
can not be maintained, or when traffic can not safely pass by in both lanes
simultaneously, use the appropriate lane closure diagrams – for example,
Diagrams 310 through 350.
A lane closure may be appropriate for conditions such as high traffic
volumes, high speeds, and inadequate approach sight distance to the work
space, or heavy equipment adjacent to the travel lane.
1. Use truck-mounted flashing warning lights on work and protection
vehicles. See Section 4.3 – Lights and Lighted Signs for exceptions.
2. For added visibility, a truck-mounted arrow board or PCMS in caution
mode may be used.
3. Cones shall be placed along the entire length of the work space. If a
protection vehicle is used and work is in place one hour or less, the
taper and tangent devices may be omitted.
4. If the speed is 45 mph or higher, volumes exceed 2000 ADT, or there
is limited sight distance, consider placing cones or tubular markers on
centerline.
5. An arrow board in caution mode or truck-mounted PCMS with
“SHOULDER WORK” or other appropriate message may be used for
higher visibility.
