General Conditions For Contractors

Before Work Begins

DTC’s published conditions require a Work Authorization Permit for activity within 50 feet of the People Mover. Provide at least 48 hours’ advance notice describing the work. DTC authorization is in addition to other required permits.

Coordination & Access

• Designate a liaison for communication with DTC and submit plans for review before work affects the system.
• Keep safe passenger entrances and exits available during service. Preserve 24-hour access for emergency response and maintenance.
• Coordinate work that affects operations with DTC’s approved non-revenue work windows.
• DTC may inspect or monitor work, require additional protections, or revoke authorization when conditions are not met.

Equipment & Site Protections

• Obtain written permission before using cranes or construction elevators within 50 feet of the system.
• Do not move suspended loads over the system during revenue service. Work over or beside the guideway requires prior consent and the staffing required by DTC.
• Provide protective netting, barricades, scaffolding, or other protection accepted by DTC.
• Provide proof of MISS DIG coordination for excavation, tunneling, or boring.
• Submit a safety plan or attend a site-specific safety orientation when required.
• Maintain the insurance and indemnification required by the permit. Additional conditions may apply to the location and scope of work.
