The Department will not pay for the extraction and replacement of piles damaged due to misalignment of the leads, failure of capblock or cushion material, failure of splices, malfunctioning of the hammer, or other improper construction methods, if it is determined the damage impairs the strength of the completed pile.
The Department will pay for each test pile, including necessary cutting off, splicing, and rebuilding to the indicated test pile length. The price includes necessary excavation for pile splicing, rebuilding, and extending; pile driving equipment furnished on the project; costs of transporting the equipment to the project; erecting, maintaining, and moving the equipment within the project; and dismantling and removing the equipment from the project, and pile tip reinforcement. If any portion of a test pile is indicated to be galvanized, the entire length of the pile will be paid under the galvanized test pile item unless indicated. Additional test piles and extensions in excess of the indicated number and length will be measured and paid for by the linear foot price of corresponding production piles. The excess length will be measured from the estimated pile tip elevation to the elevation of the final driven tip end for test piles driven below the estimated pile tip elevation, or from the cutoff elevation to the final driven tip end for additional test piles not indicated . For test piles specified in the proposal but not required to be placed, adjustment of payment will be made as specified in Section 110.02. Cutoff portions of test piles will remain the property of the Contractor. Costs associated with the use of proximity switches for the monitoring of piles, as specified, are incidental to the price bid for test piles.
Measured from the indicated or directed cutoff elevation to the final driven tip end of the pile, including length of pile driven if restrike is indicated or directed . This length does not include any portion of the tip reinforcement or end closure that extends below the driven end of the pile. The unit price includes costs of furnishing and driving, cutting off, splicing, rebuilding or extending and excavating necessary for splicing and rebuilding or extending. If any portion of a production pile is indicated to be galvanized, the entire length of the pile will be paid under the galvanized production pile item unless indicated. If acceptable piles must be replaced with another type of construction and are removed or cut off, payment will be made for the length below the cut off elevation, or the bottom of the other construction.
