When considering whether a project is critical. the fbllowing lactors were considered: o Whether the project is undcr construction alreadl' and thus requires active traflic managelneltt (in the case o1-a transportation proiect) or other work zone saf-ety rreasLlres that benefit fiorn ongoing activitl':o Whether dcl-erral of a start date on a project would undermine public saf-ety or continuity ol-operations fbr critical infrastructure: o Whether the project car-r leasibly be done with social distancing measLlres as detailed above. o Errcourages del-erral o1-non-essential u'ork All rnanagers and supervisors must be farniliar with this ['lan and be ready to answer questiot"ts fiom employees. Managers and supervisors must set a good example by fbllowing this Plan at all times. This involves practicing good personal h1'giene and jobsite saf-ety practices to prevent the spread of the virus. Managers and supervisors ntust encourage this same behavior fiorn all ernplol'ees. The C'ornpanf is asking everv one of our cmployees to hclp u,ith our prevention efforts while at r.'v'ork. In order to minimize the spread of COVID-19 at or-rr.jobsites. everyone rnust play thcir part. As set fbrth belou'. the Corrpanv has instituted various housekeeping. social distancing. aud other best practices at our.jobsites. All ernployees must fbllow,these. In addition. etnployees are expected to report to their rlanagers or supervisors if they are experiencirrg signs or sy'mptonts of COVID-19. as described bcloil,.

When soap and rul-uting naterare unavailable. use an alcohol-based hand rub with at least 607o alcohol. Avoid touching yollr eyes. nose. or mouth with unw,ashcd hands. Follor.l'appropriate respirator.v etiquette. which includes covering fbr coughs and sneezes. Avoid close contact with people u,ho are sick. In addition. ernployees rnr,rst farniliarize themselves with tlie symptoms of COVID-19. w,hich include the lbllowing: Coughing: Irever (a tempcrature of 100.4"F or rnore); Shortness of breath. difliculty breathing: and Early syrnptoms suclt as chills. body aches. sore throat. headache" diarrhea. nausea/vomitine. and rulr1nv uose .

Below is a description o1'eacli phase of construction and the number of workers that u,ill be permitted. Phase of Construction Number of Workers Remove/install hot tub J . A Daily Site Log will be rnaintained.
