When working day charges are suspended due to non-acquired right of way (ROW), railroad issues, or utility relocation, list the weather conditions in the DWR with a note indicating whether a day would normally be charged in accordance with the contract. This allows for easy determination of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) participation. Exclude working days that would not have been charged due to weather conditions when calculating FHWA non-participation
Complete at least one DWR and a project diary entry for each day from the date the contractor begins work or the date working day charges begin, whichever occurs first to the completion of the work.
Ensure that all records and documents pertaining to the project (daily diaries, pay records, photos, correspondence, etc.) are maintained in the location specified.
