Section 74 Overrun Warning

Section 74 allows highway authorities to charge undertakers if street works are unreasonably prolonged.

Creating an Occupancy Inspection with Section 74 Items will create a Section 74 overrun warning in Street Manager along with an Occupancy Inspection. If an occupancy inspection was already exported and items were added later, then fields like comments and notes have to be updated, and the inspection status has to be set to re-export in order to issue a Section 74 overrun warning in Street Manager.

After the initial warning is issued, rest of the actions of the work-flow can be actioned in Confirm web interface. Every time there is an action performed from the Confirm Web interface, the Section 74 Comment Type will be appended on the Street Works Notice in Confirm Client. The action button appearing on the Section 74 Overrun Warning issue on the Confirm Street Works web interface will list the next set of actions based on API user access set in the Street Manager system setting screen in the Confirm Web Settings interface.
