<br />provides active project management for the use of such outside consultants.

<br />and work must be supervised by a qualified employee of the party performing the work.
<br />3.4. Construction Administration. A party may administer roadway construction projects upon the request of

<br />order prior to performance of the work, the parties will promptly confer to determine whether work may be
<br />commenced without a fully‐executed work order in place. If work commences without a fully‐executed work
<br />order, the parties will follow up with execution of a work order as soon as feasible.

<br />needed to perform the work. If a party desires to perform such work, the parties will negotiate the specific
