Lump Sum
A.The Department will specify the maximum b id amount for Mobilization, Max (dollar) in the p roposal. If the Contractor submits a b id amount for Mobilization, Max (dollar) that exceeds the maximum bid amount, the Department will use the maximum bid amount as the Contractor ’s lump sum bid amount and will correct the total bid amount to reflect this maximum bid amount. The Department will pay the Contractor for Mobilization, Max (dollar) in accordance with Table 1 10-1. The percent of the original contract amount earned does not include the Mobilization, Max (dollar) pay item. Table 110- 1: Partial Payment Sch edule for Mobilization Percent of Original Contract Amount Earned Percent of Bid Amount for Mobilization, Max (dollar) 5% 50% 10% 75% 25% 100% The first scheduled payment for Mobilization, Max (dollar) will not occur until the Engineer has verified and documented the posting of required jobsite posters and employment notices . When the percentage of the original contract amount earned is less than 5% on the partial payment schedule, the Department will pay the Contractor for costs of project -specific bonding, insurances, and permits when proof of payment is received and accepted by the Engineer. The Engineer will then subtract these costs from the bid amount for Mobilization, Max (dollar ). The total sum of all payments for this item will not exceed the bid amount for Mobilization, Max (dollar ), regardless of the following conditions:
1.The Contractor shut down the work on the project for any reason;
2.The Contractor moved equipment away from the project and then back again; or
3.The Department added additional quantities or items of work to the contract. If the contract does not contain a Mobilization, Max (dollar) p ay item, the unit prices for other items of work will include the costs of mobilization.
