SECTION 205 - HAUL

205.01 Description. When the contract contains a pay item for haul, it shall consist of

transporting excavated material from its original position to its final location in the work. Haul is designated as Haul of Unclassi fied Excavation and Haul of Classification Excavation.

205.02 Blank.

205.03 Blank.

205.04 Method of Measurement . Haul of excavation will be measured for payment

only when the bid proposal contains a pay item for haul. The pay item will identify the excavation item for which haul is to be measured. Haul will be measured on a distance-volume or distance-weight basis. The distance being 100-foot stations measured along the stationed control line of the project, and the volume or weight measured in the same manner as the excavation item. In computing haul, it will be assumed that excavated material, including structure excavation, will be hauled the minimum dist ance and placed in the nearest embankment unless otherwise specified or di rected. Cross-haul, when sp ecified or directed by the Engineer, will be measured for payment. Haul will be computed by multiplying the units of excavation by the average distance it is hauled. When excavation is shown on the plans and in the proposal to be measured FM, computation of haul will be based on balanced final excavation and embankment quantities determined from final cross-sectional measurements. A balanced section will be considered as being between two points across which no excavation is hauled. A shrink age factor will be determined for each balanced section to convert each embankment quantity to the excavation quantity required to construct the embankment. The center of volume for the cut will be the point where the accumulated yardage equals one-half the total excavation, and the center of volume for the embankment will be the point where the accumulated yardage equals one-half the total embankment. Within each balanced section, the average haul will be computed along the control line of the project as the distance between the center of volume for the excavation in its original position and the center of volume for the corresponding embankment in its final position. Embankment and excavation will be considered in sections not exceeding approximately 1,000 feet in length. The center of volume of each section will be determined as set out in the previous paragraph and used in determining the average haul distance. Structure excavation used in construction of embankments will be included in the excavation quantities of each balanced division , and haul thereof will be determined as set out above. When the plans and proposal provide for haul of excavation measured as plan haul distance (P.H.D.), the final quantity for Haul of Excavation will be adjusted proportionate to the increase or decrease in the total excavation quantity determined from final cross- sectional measurement of accepted work.

205.05 Basis of Payment . Haul of excavation, measured as prescribed above, will be

paid for at the contract unit price per station yard, which shall be full compensation for completing the work. Payment will be made under: 205-A: Haul of Unclassified Excavation, FM or LVM - per station yard 205-B: Haul of Classification Excavation, FM, FME or LVM - per station yard 205-C: Haul of Classification Excavation, FM, FME or LVM, PHD - per station yard
