The Department will compensate the Contractor for eliminated items in accordance with the following:

(1)For completed quantities of eliminated Contract Items, the Department will compensate

the Contractor for the accepted quantities at the Contract Unit Price.

(2)For Materials that the Contractor has ordered but not incorporated in the Work, the

Department will compensate the Contractor in accordance with 1907, “Payment for Surplus Material.”

(3)For partially completed quantities of eliminated Contract Items, the Department will

compensate the Contractor for that portion of the quantity of the W ork the Contractor has performed on the eliminated Contract Item on the basis of a percentage of the Contract Unit Price equal to the percentage of Work performed toward completion of that quantity of the Contract Item. To calculate this percentage, the Engineer will consider the value of Materials incorporated in the partially completed quantity of the eliminated Contract Items to be the invoice cost of the Materials plus transportation costs. The Engineer will add a 15 percent mark-up to the sum of the invoice and transportation costs.

(4)For the cost of Equipment, mobilization, and overhead that the Engineer considers

directly attributable to the eliminated Contract Items and that the Department has not compensated the Contractor for through provisions (1), (2), and (3) of this list, the Department will compensate the Contractor in accordance with 1904, “Compensation for Contract Revisions.” The Department will not compensate the Contractor for loss of anticipated profits on completely or partially eliminated Work. The Department’s compensation to the Contractor for completed or partially completed quantities of Work on eliminated Contract Items in accordance with 1905, “Compensation for Eliminated Items,” constitutes final and full compensation for the Work the Contractor has performed on eliminated or partially eliminated Contract Items. The Contractor shall allow the Department access, in accordance with 1721, “Audits,” to the Contractor's cost records and other data relating to the Contract as needed by the Department to determine compensation for eliminated Work.
