706.4 Measurement
No field measurements are required. Measurement is calculated from known dimensions as follows: A. Type A—Grading and Drainage Projects [Project length (PL) minus bridge and exception* length (BL)] times [right-of-way width or Engineer-specified width (RW) minus roadbed width (RBW)] equals _____ square feet divided by 43,560 ft.²/acre equals pay quantity in acres. [Project length (PL) minus bridge and exception* length (BL)] times [right-of-way width or Engineer-specified width (RW) minus roadbed width (RBW)] equals _____ square meters divided by 10,000 m² equals pay quantity in hectares. (PL – BL) x (RW – RBW) = ____ft² ÷ 43,560 ft.²/acre = pay quantity in acres (PL – BL) x (RW – RBW) = ____m² ÷ 10,000 m² = pay quantity in hectares B. Type B: Base and Paving Projects [Project length (PL) minus bridge and exception* length (BL)] times [unpaved shoulder width (SW) plus 6 ft. for each roadway side (RS)] = ___ square feet divided by 43,560 ft.²/acre= pay quantity in acres. [Project length (PL) minus bridge and exception* length (BL)] times [unpaved shoulder width (SW) plus 1.8 m for each roadway side (RS)] = ___ square meters divided by 10,000 m² = pay quantity in hectares. (PL – BL) x (SW + 6RS) = ___ ft.² ÷ 43,560 ft.²/acre = pay quantity in acres (PL – BL) x (SW + 1.8RS) = ___ m² ÷ 10,000 m² = pay quantity in hectares C. Type C: Complete Project [Project length (PL) minus (bridge and exception* length (BL)] times [right-of-way width or Engineer-specified width (RW) minus plan paved surface width (PPW)] equals square feet divided by 43,560 ft.²/acre= pay quantity in acres. [Project length (PL) minus (bridge and exception* length (BL)] times [right-of-way width or Engineer-specified width (RW) minus plan paved surface width (PPW)] equals square meters divided by 43,560 ft.²/acre= pay quantity in hectares. (PL – BL) x (RW – PPW) = ____ft² ÷ 43,560 ft.²/acre = pay quantity in acres (PL – BL) x (RW – PPW) = ____m² ÷ 10,000 m² = pay quantity in hectares *Exception means major road intersections and Plan exceptions, not side roads, drives, etc.
