Category:135 Public Relations for Construction Activities

A number of relations must be recognized and accommodated in construction activities. Good relationships with contractors must be maintained, as are public contacts such as with residents along the highway. Harmonious working relations among all MoDOT employees are very important.

The contracts for highway construction projects require notices and posters to be conspicuously displayed on the project where employees regularly congregate in preparation for the day's work. The number of locations will depend on the contractor's operations. Prime contractors and subcontractor are also required to submit certain statements of compliance.

All federal-aid contracts contain specific requirements related to equal opportunities in employment for all persons or contain requirements of a Hometown Plan with the same objectives. These requirements are as much a contractual obligation as any other part of the standard specifications.
