202.13Method of Measurement

If the contract stipulates that payment will be made for removal of obstructions or

of houses and buildings, or for clearing right-of-way on a lump sum basis, the pay

items for such removals will include all structures and obstructions encountered within

the right-of-way in accordance with the requirements herein. No measurement will be

made. If it is specified that payment will be made for the removal of specific

obstructions on a unit basis, measurement will be made by the unit specified in the520

Schedule of Pay Items. Material used to backfill excavated areas as directed will be

measured by the cubic yard.

202.13

146

If the contract stipulates that payment will be made for removal, transportation,

or disposal of regulated materials on a unit basis, measurement will be made by the

unit stipulated in the Schedule of Pay Items. However, removal of regulated asbestos,

if found, will be measured by the square foot.

Underground storage tank removal will be measured per each within the size

groupings of under 3,000 gal., from 3,000 through 6,000 gal., over 6,000 through530

10,000 gal., or over 10,000 gal. Testing for regulated materials will be measured per

each for the type and number of tests required.

The length of pipe removed will be measured by the linear foot, computed by

multiplying the number of commercial lengths removed by the nominal laying length,

or by measuring in place prior to removal, if practicable.

Removal of present structure or portions thereof will not be measured for

payment.

540

For steel that the Contractor elects to take to a recycling facility, handling, hauling,

and all other activities involved with removing and properly disposing of existing steel

at a recycling facility will not be measured for payment.

For steel that will become the property of the Contractor, required cleaning of

existing steel, removal of mill scale, testing, disposal of the waste stream, containment,

and all other items involved with removing and properly disposing of the existing

coating will not be measured for payment.

Pavement removal will be measured by the square yard of the area removed.550

202.14Basis of Payment

The accepted quantities of removal of structures and obstruction within the

construction limits will be paid for at a contract lump sum price. All structures or

obstructions the Contractor is directed to remove outside the construction limits,

present structure, for the structure number specified, remove. Removal of present610

structure portions will be paid for at the contract lump sum price for present structure,

for the structure number specified, remove portions.

When directed, portions of the present structure contiguous to the areas shown on

the plans or non-contiguous portions of the same character as the planned removal

202.14

148

shall be removed. Such additional portland cement concrete acceptably removed will

be paid for as measured in its original position, at twice the contract unit price per

cubic yard for class A concrete in superstructures, class A concrete in substructures,

class C concrete in superstructures, or $652.00 per cubic yard, whichever is lowest.

620

Pavement removal will be paid for at the contract unit price per square yard.

If there is no pay item for pavement removal and such is encountered, payment

will be made for each square yard removed. Such pavement removal shall apply only

to portland cement concrete pavement or base. A unit price for this work will be

established based on thickness, quantity, and removal process. Such unit price will be

generated prior to the work being performed.
