<br /> <br /> <br />Definitions <br /> <br />Major Spill <br /> <br />A major spill results from the truck or pup tipping or collapsing due to accidents, <br />mechanical malfunctions, or driver error. Major spills cannot be cleaned up by the driver <br />alone in a reasonable amount of time and may present a risk to the public or the <br />environment. <br /> <br />Minor Spill <br /> <br />A minor spill results from shifting of contents in the truck or pup or sudden stops. Minor <br />spills can be cleaned up by the driver with a shovel in a reasonable amount of time, and <br />do not present a risk to the public or the environment. <br /> <br /> <br />Driver Responsibilities <br /> <br />In the event of a spill, the driver must take the following steps to minimize the effects of <br />a spill, if applicable: <br /> <br />• Secure area surrounding spill to prevent public contact <br />• Divert traffic to prevent motorists from driving through the material <br />• Notify dispatcher and describe the quantity of spilled material <br />• Contain the spilled material <br />• Remove and transport material to staging or disposal site <br /> <br /> <br />Contractor Responsibilities <br /> <br />The Contractor shall notify the City of Everett’s Project Manager and appropriate spill <br />reporting agencies immediately. If needed, the Contractor will also arrange for <br />emergency response and clean up assistance. A list of City of Everett and a sample of <br />spill reporting contacts and phone numbers are in the Emergency Contacts section. <br /> <br />The size of the spill will affect clean up methods and materials. In the event of a spill <br />that does not have the potential to adversely impact the public or the environment, the <br />Contractor shall first notify the City and then proceed with clean up. The City’s Project <br />Manager alternate may perform an on-site inspection to verify that corrective action is <br />adequate. In the event cleanup is not adequate, the City may authorize its own crews or <br />a third party to complete the work at the Contractor’s expense. <br /> <br />The Contractor must complete an Incident Spill Report and provide a copy to the City as <br />soon as possible. Incident Spill Reports are included in Contract Bid documents or per <br />request. <br />
