The contractor shall maintain and make available all project cost records to the Department for audit to the extent necessary to determine the validity and amount of each item claimed. This includes all books and other evidence bearing on the contractor's costs and expenses under the contract. These records and documents shall be made available to the Department at the contractor's office, at all reasonable times, without any direct charge. If approved by the Department, photographs, microphotographs, or other authentic reproductions may be maintained instead of original records and documents. Termination of the contract or portion thereof shall not relieve the contractor of contractual responsibilities for the work completed, nor shall it relieve the Surety of its obligation for and concerning any just claim arising out of the work performed. SECTION 109 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT:
109.01 Measurement of Quantities:
All work completed under the contract will be measured by the Engineer according to United States standard measures. A station when used as a definition or term of measurement will be 100 linear feet. The methods of measurement and computation to be used in determination of quantities of material furnished and of work performed under the contract will be those methods generally recognized as conforming to good engineering practice. All items which are to be measured on an area basis will, unless otherwise specified, be measured by longitudinal and transverse measurements made along the surface area in such manner as to ascertain reasonably the true area of the item actually placed in accordance with contract requirements. No deductions will be made for indivi dual fixtures having an area of 9 square feet or less. Structures will be measured according to neat lines shown on the project plans or as altered to fit field conditions. Unless otherwise specified, all items which are to be measured by the linear foot will be measured along or parallel to the longitudinal axis of that item in such manner as to ascertain reasonably the true length of the item. In computing volumes of earthwork the average end area method or other acceptable methods will be used. Corrections will not be made for curvature, prismoidal corrections and similar refinements unless specified. TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX The nominal diameter of wire, and the thickness of plates and sheets used in the manufacture of corrugated metal pipe, metal plate pipe culverts and arches, and metal cribbing will be specified and measured in decimal fractions of inches. The wire size in welded wire fabric used for concrete reinforcement will be identified by a W number directly corresponding to the cross- sectional area of the wire in hundredths of a square inch. The term "ton" will mean the short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds avoirdupois. All materials which are measured or proportioned by weight shall be weighed on accurate approved scales. Where the specifications require scales for the determination of weight , the use of load cells and electronic digital readout will be acceptable for all applications. The weighing system shall conform to and be maintained in accordance with the requirements of the Department of Weights and Measures. When using platform scales, materials shall be weighed by or under the inspection of Department personnel. When using hopper scales, Department personnel may weigh or inspect materials to be measured for payment. Inspect ion of weigh operations may be performed by the Engineer at any time. Scales of acceptable size shall be furnished by the contractor and shall be sealed by an inspector of the Department of Weights and Measures, State of Arizona, or a Licensed Service Agency approved by the State of Arizona Department of Weights and Measures. The Licensed Service Agency certifying the scales shall not be affiliated with the contractor or company supplying the materials for payment by weight. During weighing operations, wei ghts will be read and recorded to the nearest 100 pounds. The gross, tare, and net weights of each load will be recorded and documented with all or part of the following information as applicable to the type of scales and recording system used: Project Identification Contract Item Number Material Source/Plant Identification Date Load Number Truck Identification Time of Weighing Applicable Weights Weighperson's Signature Scales shall be resealed as often as required to assure accurate weig hts; scales shall be resealed at least once every 365 calendar days. The contractor shall also provide with each scale at least twenty 50-pound certified weights to be used in checking the scale. Each TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX weight shall be recertified one year from the date of previous certification by the Department of Weights and Measures Metrology Laboratory. Each weight shall be stamped with a number, and the contractor shall furnish a certificate showing the numbers of the weights and the dates of certification. Certification will be obtained from the Department of Weights and Measures Metrology Laboratory. Tests conducted by the Engineer to check the accuracy of scales shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of maintaining the accuracy of the scales. No me asurement or direct payment will be made for all of the measures hereinbefore described taken to seal scales, provide and certify weights and to weigh materials. Each platform scale installation shall be provided with a shelter for the scale operator. The shelter shall be weatherproof and shall be provided with adequate ventilation, light, a stool , and a work bench. The contractor shall provide means for heating or cooling the shelter to a reasonably comfortable degree if the work is in progress during col d or hot weather. The approximate minimum dimensions for the shelter shall be 6 feet in width, 8 feet in length and 7 feet in height. When material will be measured by weight for payment using platform scales, trucks hauling such material shall be weighed empty at least once daily and at such other times as the Engineer directs. Each truck shall bear a plainly legible identification mark. Materials to be measured by volume in the hauling vehicle shall be hauled in approved vehicles and measured therein at the point of delivery. Vehicles for this purpose may be of any size or type acceptable to the Engineer, provided that the body is of such shape that the actual contents may be readily and accurately determined. All vehicles shall be loaded to at least their water level capacity. When requested by the contractor and approved by the Engineer in writing, material specified to be measured by the cubic yard may be weighed and such weight will be converted to cubic yards for payment purposes. Factor s for conversion from weight measurement to volume measurement will be determined by the Engineer and shall be agreed to by the contractor before such method of measurement of pay quantities is used. Bituminous materials will be measured either by the gall on or by the ton. When bituminous materials are measured by the gallon, the volume as measured shall be corrected to the volume at 60 degrees F. Conversion from volume at 60 degrees F to tons is made in accordance with the requirements of Table 1005- 6. TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX Net certified scale weights or weights based on certified volumes in the case of rail shipments will be used as a basis of measurement, subject to correction when bituminous material has been lost from the car or the distributor, wasted or otherwise not incorporated into the work. When bituminous materials are shipped by truck or rail, net certified weights or volume subject to correction for loss or foaming, may be used for computing quantities. Cement will be measured by the ton or the hundredweight. Timber will be measured by the 1,000 feet board measure, M.F.B.M., actually incorporated in the structure. Measurement will be based on nominal widths and thicknesses and the extreme length of each piece. The term "lump sum" when used as an item of payment will mean complete payment for the work described in the proposal. When a complete structure or structural unit (in effect, "lump sum" work) is specified as the unit of measurement, the unit will be construed to include all necessary fittings and accessories. When standard manufactured items are specified such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduit, etc., and these items are identified by unit weight, section dimensions, etc., such identification will be considered to be nominal weights or dimensions. Unless more stringently controlled by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturing tolerances established by the industries involved will be accepted.
109.02 Scope of Payment:
The contractor shall accept the compensation provided in the contract as full payment for furnishing all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidentals necessary to the completed work and for performing all work contemplated and embraced under the contract; also for loss or damage arising from t he nature of the work, or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen difficulties which may be encountered during the prosecution of the work until the acceptance by the Department and for all risks of every description connected with the prosecution of the work; also for all expenses incurred in consequence of the suspension or discontinuance of the work as provided in the contract; and for completing the work according to the plans and specifications. Neither the payment of any estimate nor of any retained percentage shall relieve the contractor of any obligation to make good any defective work or material. No compensation will be made in any case for loss of anticipated profits. If the "Basis of Payment" clause in the specifications relating to any unit price in the bidding schedule requires that the said unit price cover and TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX be considered compensation for certain work or material essential to the item, this same work or material will not also be measured or paid for under any other pay item which may appear elsewhere in the specifications.
109.03 Compensation for Altered Quantities:
When the accepted quantities of work vary from the quantities in the bid schedule, the contractor shall accept as payment in full, payment at the original contract unit prices for the accepted quantities of work. No adjustments in the contract unit prices will be allowed, except as provided by Subsection
104.02 of the specifications. Under no
circumstances will a modification of contract unit prices be made for loss of expected reimbursement or loss of anticipated profits suffered or claimed by the contractor resulting either directly from such alterations or indirectly from unbalanced allocation among the contract items of overhead expense on the part of the bidder and subsequent loss of expected reimbursement or from any other cause. 109. 04 Adjustments in the Contract Price: Adjustments in the contract price may be made only by Supplemental Agreement. The contract price adjustments set forth in a Supplemental Agreement must be determined in accordance with this subsection. Efforts to establish the calculation of the contract price adjustment must be accomplished in the order set forth in this subsection.
A.Letter Agreement for Alterations of $10,000 or Less: When the Department makes alterations in the details of construction or specifications that are limited in scope to the extent that the cost of the alterations will not exceed $10,000, the Engineer and the contractor may reach agreement upon the scope of work and a lump sum amount to cover the cost of the work to be performed. This agreement shall be reflected in a letter from the Engineer to the contractor, which, when executed by both parties, shall have the same force and effect as a supplemental agreement. Work shall not proceed until both parties have signed the agreement. This work will be paid for under ITEM 9240101 - Miscellaneous Work, at the lump sum amount agreed upon, which item will not be a part of the Bidding Schedule, but will be established by the Engineer through the initial letter agreement.
B.Unit Prices: Should paragraph (A) above not apply, an attempt must be made, before proceeding to any other pricing method, to price the work described by the Supplemental Agreement in accordance with the unit prices provided for each bid item. TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX
C.Detailed Estimate: If agreement cannot be reached by the Engineer and contractor to price the Supplemental Agreement in accordance with the unit prices provided for bid items, then the contractor must provide a detailed estimate of its proposed unit prices or lump sum amount to perform the work described in the Supplemental Agreement. This detailed estimate must include the following:
1.Estimate of labor effort by trade in man hours for each task.
2.Estimate of base labor and burdened labor rate.
3.Estimate of equipment cost including time requirements and rate.
4.Estimated cost of materials.
5.Estimated cost to be expended by subcontractors, prepared to the same level of detail as required in items
1.through (4) above.
6.Any other costs to which the contractor feels it is entitled. Each such cost shall be presented in detail similar to items (1) through (5) above.
7.Mark -up percentage, if used, for overhead, profit, or bond. The maximum allowable markup for the prime contractor shall be 15 percent for work performed by the prime contractor and 5 percent for work performed by subcontractors. The maximum allowable markup for the subcontractor is 15 percent, but in no event will the cumulative amount paid to the prime contractor and subcontractors for overhead, profit or other markups for any work exceed 20 percent of the estimate set forth in
1.through (4) above. The contract pr ice adjustment shall be based on the actual cost to the contractor as determined in (C)(1) through (C)(7) above, rather than on a force account basis, whenever possible. The contractor will be allowed 10 calendar days to prepare such a cost estimate. Direction to proceed with the work described in the Supplemental Agreement will not be provided to the contractor by the Engineer until a detailed estimate is provided. The contractor will not be entitled to an adjustment in the contract price or time for the time required to prepare and submit a detailed cost estimate. Upon receipt of the contractor's estimate, the Engineer will immediately schedule negotiations. Should such negotiations be conducted and a TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX contract price adjustment not be agreed upon, the Engineer will consider the performance of the work on a force account basis, although the Engineer may at any time direct the contractor to proceed with the work on a force account basis.
D.Force Account: If directed by the Engineer, work required by Supplemental Agreement may be performed on a force account basis. Such work will be compensated in the following manner:
1.Labor: For all labor, including foreman in direct charge of specific operations, but excluding general superintendence, the contractor will be paid:
a.Regular pay (RP) which will be determined as follows: RP = (WR + FR) x 1.5 Where: WR= Hourly wage rate as determined by payroll FR= Fringe benefit rate as determined by payroll The contractor shall provide the hourly wage rates and fringe benefit rate at the preconstruction conference. The rates will be verified by comparison to the contractor’s payrolls.
b.Overtime pay (OT) which will be determined as follows: OT= [(WR x 1.5) + FR] x 1.5
c.Subsistence and travel allowances paid to workers as required by collective bargaining agreements, or as approved by ADOT Construction Group. Rates for lodging, meals, and mileage shall not exceed the rates published by t he State at the time of the force account work. No markup will be allowed for profit or overhead.
2.Materials: For all materials accepted by the Engineer and used in the work, the contractor will be paid the actual invoice cost of such materials including actual freight and express charges less all offered or available discounts and rebates, not withstanding the fact that they may not have been taken by the contractor. To the above cost will be added a sum equal t o 15 percent thereof. TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX The Department reserves the right to furnish such materials as it deems appropriate, and the contractor shall have no claims for any costs, overhead, or profit on materials provided by the Department. No partial payment will be allowed. The contractor shall be compensated for materials after the materials invoice is submitted along with any documentary backup for the cost of materials.
3.Equipment: Equipment which the Engineer considers necessary for the performance of work will be eligible for payment at the established rates only during the hours that it is operated except as otherwise allowed elsewhere in these specifications. Equipment hours will be recorded to the nearest one- half hour. For the use of equipment owned by the contractor and approved by the Engineer, the contractor will be paid the rental rates, as modified herein, set forth in the Rental Rate Blue Book (RRBB) for Construction Equipment which is published by the Equipment Guide- Book Company, a division of Nielson - Dataquest, 1290 Ridder Park Drive, San Jose, California 95131, Phone (800) 669- 3282. All rate determinations will be based on the Blue Book rental rate chapter revisions that are applicable at the time the equipment is being used.
a.Rental Rates (Without Operators): The hourly equipment rental rate (HERR) will be determined by the following formula: HERR = F ×�1.15 × R 176� + HOC Where: F= Adjustment factor to R as shown in the Special Provisions. R= Current RRBB Monthly Rate HOC= Hourly operating cost An overhead and profit adjustment of 15 percent of the rates provided in the Rental Rate Blue Book is included in the above f ormula. The hourly operating cost represents the major costs of equipment operation, such as fuel and oil, lubrication, field repairs, tires, expendable parts, and supplies. For each piece of equipment used, whether bought or rented, the contractor shall provide the Engineer with the following information: the manufacturer's name, equipment type, year of manufacture, model number, type of fuel used, horsepower rating, attachments required, TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX together with their size or capacity, and any further information necessary to ascertain the proper rate. When multiple attachments are included with the rental equipment, only the attachment having the higher rental rate will be eligible for payment, provided the attachment has been approved by the Engineer as being neces sary to the force account work. Rental charges will not be allowed for tools or equipment that show a daily rate less than five dollars or for unlisted equipment that has a value of less than four hundred dollars. The above provisions apply to approved equipment of modern design and in good working condition. The equipment shall be handled and used to provide normal output or production. Equipment that is not in good working condition or is not of proper size for efficient performance of the work may be r ejected by the Engineer. Equipment ordered for force account work will be paid for until such time as the Engineer directs that the use of such equipment be discontinued or until completion of the work. Unless otherwise specified, manufacturer's ratings and manufacturer -approved modifications shall be used to classify equipment for the determination of applicable rental rates. Equipment which has no direct power unit shall be powered by a unit of at least the minimum ratin g recommended by the manufacturer. If it is deemed necessary by the Engineer to use equipment not listed in the above publication, a suitable rate for such equipment will be established by the Engineer. The contractor may furnish cost data which might assist the Engineer in the establishment of such rental rate. The rental rates shall be agreed to in writing prior to the use of such equipment on force account work or paid for by invoices in the case of outside rented equipment. The Rental Rate Blue Book adjustment factor (F) will be 0.933.
b.Stand -By Time: Equipment that is in operational condition and is standing by with the Engineer’s approval for participation in Force Account Work shall be paid for according to the following Stand- By Rate (SBR): SBR FR 176 1/2 =× × Payment for “stand- by” will be limited to not more than eight hours in a 24-hour day or 40 hours in a normal week. No compensation shall be allowed for equipment that is inoperable due to breakdown. No payment TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX shall be allowed for equipment that is not operating because work has been suspended by the contractor for the contractor’s reasons.
c.Outside Rented Equipment: In cases where a piece of equipment to be used is rented or leased by the contractor from a thi rd party exclusively for force account work, the contractor will be paid as follows: [Rental Invoice x 1.10] + HOC The above formula includes a 10 percent markup of the rental invoice for all overhead and incidental costs for furnishing the equipment.
d.Moving of Equipment: Rental time will also be allowed for the time required to move needed equipment to the location of the force account work and to return it to its original location. Loading and transportation costs will be allowed in lieu o f moving times when equipment is moved by means other than its own power. Moving time back to the original location or loading and transportation costs will not be allowed if the equipment is used at the site of the force account work on contract items or related work. For use of equipment moved on the work exclusively for force account work, the cost of transferring the equipment to the site of the work and returning it to the original location will be allowed as specified herein as an additional item of expense. The original location of the equipment to be hauled to the site of the work shall be agreed to by the Engineer in advance. Where the move of the equipment is made by common carrier, the allowance will be the invoiced amount paid for the freight pl us fifteen percent. If the contractor hauls the equipment with its own forces, rental will be allowed for the hauling unit plus the driver's wages and the cost of loading and unloading the equipment. The maximum rental period for the day that the equipment is moved on the work and the day that the use of the equipment is discontinued shall be the actual time that the equipment is in operation on force account work.
4.Superintendence: No part of the salary or expense of anyone connected with the contractor's forces above the grade of foreman and having general supervision of the work will be included in the labor items as specified above, except when the contractor's organization is ent irely occupied with force account work, in which case the salaries of the superintendent TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX and the timekeeper may be included in the labor item specified above when the nature of the work is such that their services are required.
5.Compensation: The com pensation as set forth above shall be received by the contractor as payment in full for work done on a force account basis. In addition, the contractor shall be paid an amount equal to 65 percent of the force account compensation times the applicable sale s tax rate.
6.Statements: All statements shall be accompanied and supported by receipted invoices for all materials used and transportation charges. If materials used on the force account work are not specifically purchased for such work but are taken from the contractor's stock, then instead of invoices, the statements shall contain or be accompanied by an affidavit of the contractor certifying that such materials were taken from stock, that the quantity claimed was actually used, and that the price and transportation claimed represent the actual cost to the contractor. The contractor and subcontractor will submit an equipment list for all equipment to be used during the contract, an equipment rate sheet, and a labor rate sheet, all within 30 days aft er contract award, but prior to the start of any force account work. The contractor shall submit payrolls and other cost data documents for all force account work within 30 calendar days after completion of the work. No partial payment will be made. All invoiced work must have documentation for payment. Final payment will not be made for work performed on a force account basis until the contractor has furnished duplicate itemized state ments of the cost of such force account work detailed to the following:
a.Name, classification, date, daily hours, total hours, rate and amount for each foreman and laborer .
b.Designation, dates, daily hours, total hours, rental rate , and amount for each unit of equipment .
c.Quantities of materials, prices and amounts.
d.Transportation charges on materials, FOB jobsite.
7.Force Account Work by Subcontractors: When force account work is determined by the Engineer to require specialized labor or equipment not normally utilized by the contractor, and such force account work is performed by subcontractors, the contractor will be allowed a supplemental markup of 5 percent of the TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX subcontractor’s costs. Such allowance will be applied to the subcontractor’s force account costs less its markups for overhead and profit.
8.Bond: An amount of 0.5 percent of the total amount will be added for the Performance and Payment Bond.
E.Non -Allowable Charges: If the contractor chooses to accept Force Account, then the contractor's compensation in any Supplemental Agreement will only be for what is stated in the above Force Account provisions. Whether the amount of Supplemental Agreement negotiated is for unit price, Lump Sum Agreement or Force Account, in no case will the contractor be reimbursed for the following items:
1.Profit in excess of that provided herein;
2.Loss of profit;
3.Home office overhead;
4.Consequential damages, including loss of bonding capacity, loss of bidding opportunities, and insolvency;
5.Indirect costs or expenses of any nature;
6.Attorneys fees, claims preparation expenses or costs of litigation ; and
7.Interest .
109.05 Eliminated Items:
The Engineer may, upon written order to the contractor, eliminate items from the contract and such action shall in no way invalidate the contract. The contractor will be compensated under the provisions of Subsection
108.11 of the specifications.
109.06 Partial Payments and Retention:
A.Partial Payments: If satisfactory progress is being made, the contractor will receive a payment each month based on the amount of work completed during the preceding month. The Department will prepare a draft monthly estimate TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX for review by the contractor. The contractor shall work with the Engineer to finalize the monthly estimate. When the Engineer and the contractor have reached agreement, the final monthly estimate will be prepared and signed by the contractor and the Engineer. The contractor’s signature constitutes a cer tification that the work was satisfactorily performed, meets the specifications, and the quantities reported are accurate , regardless of whether the work was performed by the contractor or a subcontractor. The Engineer will submit signed monthly estimate for payment. Except as herein provided, the Department will not retain monies from the monthly payments. Partial payment on either a lump sum item or on an item paid for as a unit (each) may be made if the amount of work, in the opinion of the Engineer, is of sufficient magnitude to warrant partial payment. The amount of the partial payment to be made will be in proportion to the percentage of the work completed on the item, as estimated by the Engineer. The monthly payments will be approximate only and all partial statements and payments will be subject to correction in the final statement and payment. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, progress is unsatisfactory after 75 percent of the contract time has expired, the Department reserves the right to withhold 10 percent of payments due the contractor until progress is determined to be satisfactory. The acceptance of work for purposes of partial payment does not constitute final acceptance of the work. Should any defective work or material be discovered pr ior to the final acceptance, the Department will deduct monies from subsequent monthly payments to provide for correction of the defective work. Payment for such defective work will not be allowed until the defect has been remedied.
B.Subcontractor Payment s:
1.Retention : If the prime contract does not provide for retention, the contractor and each subcontractor of any tier shall not withhold retention on any subcontract. If the prime contract provides for retention, the prime contractor and each subcontractor of any tier shall not retain a higher percentage than the Department may retain under the prime contract. TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX
2.No Set -offs Arising from Other Contracts: If a subcontractor is performing work on multiple contracts for the same contractor or subcontractor of any tier, the contractor or subcontractor of any tier shall not withhold or reduce payment from its subcontractors on the contract because of disputes or claims on another contract.
3.Partial Payment : The contractor and each subcontractor of any tier shall make prompt partial payments to its subcontractors within seven days of receipt of payment from the Department.
4.Final Payment: The contractor and each subcontractor of any tier shall make prompt final payment to each of its subcontractors. The contractor and each subcontractor of any tier shall pay all monies, including retention, due to its subcontractor within seven days of receipt of payment.
5.Payment Reporting and Sanctions: For the purposes of this subsection “Reportable Contracts” means any subcontract, of any tier, DBE or non- DBE, by which work shall be performed on behalf of the contractor and any contract of any tier with a DBE material supplier. The requirements of this subsection apply to all Reportable Contracts. Payment Reporting for all Reportable Contracts shall be done through the Department’s web- based DBE System. The DBE System can be accessed from the Department’s BECO website. No later than 15 calendar days after the preconstruction conference, the contractor shall log into the Department’s web- based DBE System and enter or verify the name, contact information, and subcontract amounts for Reportable Contracts on the project. As Reportable Contracts are approved over the course of the contract, the contractor shall enter them in the system. Reportable contracts shall be entered into the system no later than five calendar days after approval by the Department. The contractor shall report on a monthly basis indicating the amounts actually paid and the dates of each payment under any Reportable Contract on the project. In addition, the contractor shall require that all participants in any Repor table Contract electronically verify receipt of payment on the contract by the last day of the month and the contractor shall actively monitor the Department’s DBE System to ensure that the verifications are input. The contractor shall proactively work to resolve any payment discrepancies in the DBE System between payment amounts it reports and payment confirmation amounts reported by others. TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX The contractor shall ensure that all Reportable Contract activity is reported to the Department. This includes all l ower -tier Reportable Contracts. The contractor shall maintain records for each payment explaining the amount requested by the subcontractor, and the amount actually paid pursuant to the request, which may include but are not limited to, estimates, invoices, pay requests, copies of checks or wire transfers, and lien waivers in support of the monthly payments in the DBE System. The contractor shall provide information for payments made on all Reportable Contracts during the previous month by the 15th day of t he current month. In the event that no payments were made during a given month, the contractor shall identify that by entering a dollar value of zero. If the contractor does not pay the full amount of any invoice from a subcontractor, the contractor shall note that and provide the reasons in the comment section of the Monthly Payment Audit of the DBE System. For each month that the contractor fails to submit timely and complete payment information the Department will retain $5,000 as liquidated damages from the monies due to the contractor. After 90 consecutive days of non- reporting, the liquidated damages will increase to $10,000 for each subsequent month which the contractor fails to report until the information is provided. These liquidated damages shall be in addition to all other retention or liquidated damages provided for elsewhere in the contract. The contractor shall ensure that a copy of this Subsection is included in every Reportable Contract of every tier.
6.Completion of Work: A subcontractor's work is satisfactorily completed when all the tasks called for in the subcontract have been accomplished, documented, and accepted by the Department.
7.Disputes: If there is a discrepancy between what is reported by the contractor in the ADOT DBE System and what the subcontractor indicates an alert email will automatically be sent to the contractor. The email will be sent to the email address provided by the contractor in the Department’s DBE System. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the email address in the DBE System is kept current. The contractor shall provide a verifiable explanation of the discrepancy in the DBE System as early as practicable but in no case later than seven days after the date of the alert email. The Engineer will determine whether the contractor has acted in good faith concerning any such explanations. The Department reserves the TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX right to request and receive documents from the contractor and all subcontractors of any tier, in order to determine whether prompt payment requirements are met. The contractor shall implement and use the dispute resolution process outlined in the subcontract, as described in Subsection 108.01 of the specifications, to resolve payment disputes.
8.Non -compliance: Failu re to make prompt partial payment, or prompt final payment including any retention, within the time frames established above, will result in remedies, as the Department deems appropriate, which may include but are not limited to:
a.Liquidated Damages. These liquidated damages shall be in addition to all other retention or liquidated damages provided for elsewhere in the contract :
i.The Department will withhold two times the dollar amount not paid to each subcontractor ; (ii) If full payment is made within 30 days of the Department’s payment to the contractor, the amount withheld by the Department will be released; and (iii) If full payment is made after 30 days of the Department’s payment to the contractor, the Department will release 75 percent of the funds withheld. The Department will retain 25 percent of the monies withheld as liquidated damages.
b.Additional Remedies. If the contractor fails to make prompt payment for three consecutive months, or any four months over the course of one project, or if the contractor fails to make prompt payment on two or more projects within 24 months, the Department may, in addition, invoke the following remedies:
i.Withhold monthly progress payments until the issue is resolved and full payment has been made to all subcontractors, subject to the liquidated damages described in paragraph (a) above; (ii) Terminate the contract for default in accordance with Subsection
108.10 of the specifications;
and/or TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX (iii) Disqualify the contractor from future bidding, temporarily or permanently, depending on the number and severity of violations. In determining whether liquidated damages will be assessed, the extent of the liquidated damages, or additional remedies assessed, the State Construction Engineer will consider whether there have been other violations on this or other contracts, whether the failure to make prompt payment was due to circumstances beyond the contractor’s control, and other circumstances. The contractor may, within 15 calendar days of receipt of the decision of the State Construction Engineer, escalate the decision to the State Engineer. If the contractor does not escalate the decision of the State Construction Engineer, in writing to the State Engineer, within 15 calendar days of receipt of the decision, the contractor will be deemed to have accepted the decision and there will be no further remedy for the contractor. If the contractor escalates the decision to the State Engineer, and the contractor does not agree with the State Engineer’s decision, the contractor may initiate litig ation, arbitration or mediation pursuant to Subsection 105.21(D) and (E) of the specifications. 109. 07 Partial Payment for Material on Hand: Materials listed below may be considered for partial payment without the execution of a supplemental agreement, when the materials are delivered and stockpiled or produced on the project site or on another site approved by the Engineer. Such partial payment will be made at the contract unit price for the quantity of material on hand multiplied by the Partial Payment Factor. Partial Payment Type of Material Factor Aggregate Subbase 0.45 Aggregate Base 0.60 Mineral Aggregate 0.40 Cover Material 0.35 Structural Steel 0.60 Reinforcing Steel 0.60 Corrugated Metal Pipe 0.50 Structural Plate Pipe or Pipe- Arch 0.65 Concrete Pipe 0.45 Flared End Section for Pipe Culvert 0.70 Cattle Guard Grill 0.60 Guardrail (Rail and Brackets) 0.50 Guardrail (Posts) 0.20 TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX Partial Payment Type of Material Factor Fencing (Posts and Wire) 0.40 Precast Concrete Bridge Members (after curing period is completed) 0.80 Vertical Support for Breakaway Sign 0.60 Perforated Sign Posts 0.50 Cantilever and Bridge Sign Structures 0.60 Sign Panel 0.40 Material for items of work, whether shown above or not, may be considered for partial payment without the execution of a supplemental agreement, when the materials are delivered and stockpiled or produced on the project site or on another site approved by the Engineer. Such partial payment will be made at 100 percent of invoice cost, but shall not exceed 80 percent of the total item bid amount. Partial payment will be made only if the material is approved by the Engineer and if satisfactory pr ogress is being made on the contract work by the contractor. No partial payment will be made for living or perishable plant materials until they are planted. Partial payments will not be made on items until all required certificates of compliance have been provided.
109.08 Blank :
109.09 Acceptance and Final Payment :
When final acceptance has been made in accordance with the requirements of Subsection 105.20 of the specifications, the Engineer will prepare the final estimate of quantities of the various items of work performed. Final payment will be made in accordance with the Engineer's final statement of the total amount earned by the contr actor. The final payment will not be made until all quantities have been checked and verified. The final payment will generally not be made before 60 days after the date of final acceptance of the work by the Engineer, although final payment may be made i n 60 days or less at the sole discretion of the Department, but only when all quantities have been checked and verified. The cost of any work, material, equipment or incidental specified in the Division I, for which no direct payment has been specified in the TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX proposal, shall be considered as included in the contract unit price for one or more of the contract items.
109.10 Lump Sum Payment for Structures:
A.General: When the Bidding Schedule contains items, shown with an alpha or numeric suffix, and approximate quantities required to complete specific structures or designated groups of structures, the contractor will be compensated on a lump sum basis. Bidders shall specify a unit price and an extended amount for each item within the lump sum structure or group of structures for which a quantity is given. No separate total for each structure will be shown on the bidding schedule. The lump sum amount shall be the tot al of the extended amounts for all items related to each structure or group of structures as designated by the same alpha or numeric suffix, except for driven piles, caissons, and drilled shafts, which will be paid for under their respective contract items. Bidders shall verify the accuracy and completeness of the quantities listed in the Bidding Schedule, and bid prices shall reflect the cost of quantities which the contractor determines to be necessary to construct the structure(s) and shall also include any additional costs for work necessary to complete the structure(s) but for which no bid quantities are listed.
B.Adjustments Due to Quantity Variations: For all items of work, other than the Structural Concrete, Structural Steel, Reinforcing Steel, Struct ural Excavation, and Structure Backfill items, no adjustment to the Bidding Schedule's, quantities, unit prices, and extended amounts will be made following the award of contract because of any errors or omissions made either by the Department in its calculations of quantities or by the contractor in its calculations. Adjustments in the Bidding Schedule quantities for Structural Concrete, Structural Steel, Reinforcing Steel, Structural Excavation, and Structure Backfill may be initiated by the contractor or the Engineer if evidence indicates that the required quantity varies by an amount greater than five percent of the Bidding Schedule quantity. The contractor shall advise the Engineer in writing, submitting such evidence and requesting an adjustment of th e quantities. The Engineer will determine the amount of adjustment, if any. The quantity upon which payment will be based will be the Bidding Schedule quantity plus or minus only that portion of the adjustment that exceeds five percent of the Bidding Schedule quantity. No adjustment to contract time will be allowed due to lump sum structure quantity variations. TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX
C.Adjustments Due to Revisions Ordered by the Engineer: If the Engineer orders a revision in the project plans or specifications for a specific structure or group of structures contracted under this provision and the revision affects work for which Bidding Schedule items have been established, each item affected shall be considered a major item, and the unit price shall be subject to revision in accordance with the requirements of Subsection 104.02 of the specifications. Payment to the contractor will be adjusted by an amount equal to the product of the quantity adjustment and the unit price bid or the revised unit price as appropriate. If the revisions affect work for which no Bid I tem has been established, payment for this work will be made in accordance with the requirements of Subsection 104.02 of the specifications.
D.Payment: Payment for all work necessary to construct the structure(s), including but not necessarily limited to all excavating, backfilling, foundations, concrete, reinforcing steel, structural steel, expansion joints, bearings, approach slabs, post tensioning systems, handrails, and utility and lighting conduit systems, will be made on the basis of the lump sum amount as calculated by adding the extended amounts for all related bid items designated with the same alpha or numeric suffix, except as may be adjusted in accordance with Subsections 109.10(B) and (C) of the specifications. Driven piles, caissons, and drilled shafts will be paid for under the respective contract items and will not be paid for under lump sum payment for structures. Partial payments will be made in accordance with the requirements of Subsection 109. 06 of the specifications, on the basis of the quantities shown in the Bidding Schedule for each structure and the respective unit prices. At least five days prior to the closing date scheduled for monthly progress payments, the contractor shall furnish the Engineer an estimate of the quantity of each item of work shown in the Bidding Schedule for which the contractor expects to be compensated. The Engineer shall be the sole judge as to the approximate quantities of work eligible for payment in any month. The total amount of all partial payments shall equal the lump sum amount, as determined above, or adjusted as specified herein. Payments made for Structural Concrete will be adjusted, in accordance with the table shown in Subsection 601-6 of the speci fications, for material which fails to meet the required 28 day compressive strength when sampled in accordance with the requirements of Subsection 1006-7 of the specifications.
