to the final acceptance of the bridges. The Contractor shall accurately set all forms, headers, rails, and screeds to provide the dimensions, elevations, and grades shown on the plans.
680.04 Method of Measurement.
Measurement of the item of Geometric Controls will be made on a lump sum basis. When more than one project is included in a contract, each project will be assigned a fractional part of the lump sum as shown on the plans.
680.05 Basis of Payment.
a.Unit Price Coverage . The item of Geometric Controls, measured as noted above, will be paid for at the contract lump sum price bid. Said lump sum shall be full compensation for furnishing all materials (hubs, stakes, templates, straightedges), equipment, tools, labor, and incidentals n ecessary to complete this item of work. Partial payments for the item of Geometric Controls will be made on monthly estimates. The amount paid each month will be a percentage of the lump sum contract amount. This percentage shall be the same as the percent age of work performed during the estimate period. When more than one project is included in a contract, the amount of a partial payment will be the sum of separate calculations made for each project.
b.Payment will be made under Item No .: 680-A Geomet ric Controls - per lump sum CONSTRUCTION FUEL COST
698.01 Description.
This Section shall cover the cost of construction fuel for the equipment necessary for the performance of the required work except for the production of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA).
698.02 Bidding and Cost Adjustment.
The bidder shall enter an amount from zero dollars up to the maximum dollar amount shown in the pay item description for fuel on the proposal form. The Contractor signifies that this amount represents a reasonable estimate of the fuel costs isolated from all other costs of completing the required work except for the production of HMA. If a proposal contains an amount greater than the maxi mum amount shown in the pay item description, the amount bid for Construction Fuel will be assigned a value that is the maximum amount. A cost adjustment will be made to the amount of compensation due for construction fuel on each estimate. This cost adju stment will be based on the cost of the fuel at the time of bid and the cost of fuel at the time of the estimate.
698.03 Method of Cost Adjustment.
The Department will determine and publish a monthly "Fuel Index" utilizing t he average area terminal price reports for regular unleaded gasoline and No. 2 fuel of the "Platts Oilgram Price Report" published during the week in which the first day of the month occurs. The Base Fuel Index ( Ιb) for the project will be the monthly fuel index published for the month in which the bids were opened for the project. Before the expiration of contract time partial payments will be made on monthly estimates using the following formula: P = ( Ιm / Ιb) X P c , where P = Numerical portion of the lump sum bid amount, a number usually less than one. (Round to nearest thousandth.) May be expressed as a percentage of the lump sum by multiplying by 100 %. Ιm = Fuel Index for Current Monthly Estimate Ιb = Base Fuel Index Pc = Perce nt of project completed during current estimate period, i.e., P c = Percentage of project complete to date minus percent project complete at the time of previous estimate. Percentage

of project complete will not include payment for stored materials. (Round percentage to nearest thousandth. Example: 21.71% = 0.217) After the expiration of contract time (plus approved time extensions) two calculations of a potential partial payment will be made. The first calculation will be made using the current index and the base index as noted in the preceding formula. The second calculation will be made using the index during the month that contract time (plus approved time extensions) expired and the base index. The smallest amount of partial payment resulting from these two calculations will be made for the current estimate period.
698.04 Basis of Payment.
a.Unit Price Coverage . The amount designated for construction fuel, shall be full compensation, after all applicable cost adjustments, for the furnishing of fu el for equipment used on the project, except for the fuel for the production of HMA, and for all materials, equipment, tools, labor, transportation and incidentals necessary for its use.
b.Payment will be made under Item No .: 698-A Construction Fuel (ma x. bid limited to $ ) - per Lump Sum
