The Street Works Resource Pack is designed to help contractors, project managers, and site supervisors navigate the complexities of managing street works projects while ensuring compliance with UK regulations and promoting safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. This comprehensive set of documents serves as a guide to help manage all aspects of street works, from legal agreements and safety protocols to environmental assessments and operational records. It provides a structured and organised approach to planning, executing, and monitoring street works projects, ensuring that all legal, health and safety, and operational requirements are met.

Who it’s for:

• Contractors
• Local Authorities
• Streetworks Coordinators
• Project Managers

Types of projects:

• Pavement and street repairs
• Utility streetworks
• Minor roadworks in urban and residential areas
• Installation of street furniture (signs, bollards, etc.)

It ensures that streetworks projects are completed efficiently, safely, and in compliance with local regulations, with a focus on minimising public disruption.

• Contractor Onboarding Checklist
  This checklist outlines the steps for verifying the qualifications, safety compliance, and readiness of contractors before they begin work on-site. It ensures that contractors meet the necessary legal, safety, and operational standards and that all documentation is in place before project commencement.
• Master Services Agreement (MSA)
  The MSA serves as the foundational contract between your organisation and the client. It outlines the general terms and conditions that will govern the relationship, including service scope, payment terms, liability limitations, and compliance requirements. This document ensures that both parties are aligned on expectations before any specific projects commence.
• Project-Specific Contract or Work Order
  This document details the specific scope of work for a particular street works project, including timelines, deliverables, and specific project responsibilities. It operates under the umbrella of the MSA but focuses on individual project details.
• Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
  The NDA protects the confidentiality of sensitive information exchanged between parties. It ensures that any proprietary or confidential information shared during the project is safeguarded from unauthorised use or disclosure.
• Health and Safety Agreement
  This agreement sets out the health and safety responsibilities of both the contractor and the subcontractors. It ensures compliance with UK safety regulations and defines the standards for maintaining a safe working environment.
• Indemnity and Liability Agreement
  This agreement limits the liability of the contractor and protects against claims related to personal injury, property damage, and other liabilities arising during the project. It clarifies which parties are responsible for potential risks and liabilities.
• Insurance Requirements Agreement
  This document outlines the necessary insurance coverage required for all contractors and subcontractors involved in the project. It ensures that appropriate levels of insurance are in place to mitigate risk and comply with legal requirements.
• Subcontractor Agreement
  This agreement governs the relationship between the main contractor and any subcontractors working on the project. It ensures that subcontractors are held to the same standards of quality, safety, and compliance as the main contractor.
• Termination Agreement or Clause
  This document or clause provides the conditions under which either party may terminate the contract. It outlines the processes for early termination and the rights of both parties should the agreement be terminated before project completion.
• Dispute Resolution Agreement
  This document outlines the procedures for resolving disputes that may arise during the project. It encourages parties to resolve conflicts through mediation, arbitration, or other agreed-upon methods before resorting to litigation.
• Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)
  The EIA assesses the environmental implications of the street works project. It identifies potential environmental risks, such as pollution, habitat disruption, and waste generation, and suggests mitigation strategies to minimise adverse effects.
• Work Method Statements (WMS)
  The WMS provides a detailed outline of how specific tasks will be performed on-site, focusing on the methods and procedures to ensure safe execution. It is particularly important for high-risk activities, such as excavation and lifting operations.
• Plant and Equipment Inspection Records
  This document tracks the inspection and maintenance of plant and equipment used on-site. It ensures that all machinery is regularly inspected for safety and compliance with regulations, helping to prevent equipment-related incidents.
• Competency Verification Records
  This document verifies the qualifications, training, and competency of all personnel working on the project. It ensures that workers are properly certified to perform their assigned tasks safely and efficiently.
• Traffic Management Plans
  This detailed plan outlines how vehicle and pedestrian traffic will be managed around the street works site. It ensures the safety of both workers and the public by controlling traffic flow, establishing safe work zones, and complying with traffic regulations.
• Waste Management Plans
  The Waste Management Plan outlines how waste generated by the project will be managed, including recycling, disposal, and minimising environmental impact. It ensures compliance with waste regulations and promotes sustainability.
• Incident and Near Miss Reports
  These reports document any incidents, accidents, or near misses that occur on-site. They provide a framework for investigating the cause of the incident, implementing corrective actions, and preventing future occurrences.
• Daily Site Log
  The Daily Site Log records daily activities, progress, and site conditions. It helps track work performed, issues encountered, and safety measures implemented, ensuring that all project aspects are well-documented.
• Subcontractor Management Plan
  This plan outlines how subcontractors will be managed throughout the project, ensuring that they meet project requirements, comply with safety standards, and integrate seamlessly with the main contractor’s operations.
• Project-Specific Health and Safety Plans
  This plan outlines all health and safety requirements specific to the street works project. It ensures that all personnel are aware of the risks, control measures, and emergency procedures, and that the project complies with UK health and safety regulations.
