944.04 Method of Measurement .
This item, Diesel Emission Reduction Program (DERP), will not be measured for payment. This item will be paid for on the Force Account Method. The Department has included in the Bid Proposal a Force Account amount from which paym ents for completing various units of emission retrofit work will be dispersed. When 90% of the Force Account amount has been dispersed, the Engineer will determine if additional funding is required to complete work on the DERP.
944.04.1 Unit of Force Account Work.
A unit of work is the cost of completing a single emission control retrofit. It includes the actual cost of the retrofit device and the cost of the qualified installer of the device.
a.It shall be understood that the cost of a unit of emission control work as defined above will vary according to the size of the equipment.
944.05 Basis of Payment.
Upon completion of a number of completed units of emission control retrofit devices the 9−92 Contractor shall request a disbursement from the Force Account amount. Each such request must include a detailed account for each particular “unit” of completed emission retro-fit work as defined above under Subsection 944.04.1. Payment of a disbursement request from the Force Account constitutes full and complete compensation for all labor, materials, equipment, tools and incidentals for completing the stated units of emission control retrofits as required to finish the work, complete and accepted by the Engineer.
944.05.1 Costs Not Included In This Item.
All costs associated with the implementation of the DERP including training costs inventory lists, retaining the qualified retro-fit installer, Statement of Intent to Comply Documentation of Post Retro-fit Installation, Program Documentation and Logs, monthly summary reports to the Engineer, and the addition and removal of equipment used in this work, will not be paid for separately. Costs thereof shall be included in the Contractor’s overhead costs for performing the work of the Contract. SECTION 945 REMOVAL OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL EQUIPMENT
945.01 DESCRIPTION. This work consists of removing and either disposal or salvaging of existing
traffic signal equipment, as called for on the Plans. Traffic signal equipment to be removed may include, but is not limited to, traffic signal wire and cable; mast arm, span, and pedestal poles with or without foundations; traffic signal cabinets with or without foundations; traffic detectors and pedestrian pushbuttons; controllers, relays, and associated equi pment housed inside traffic signal cabinets; and traffic signal heads. Removal of existing handholes, manholes, conduit, and risers associated with a traffic signal will be paid for under the appropriate individual and separate pay item.
945.02 MATERIALS. Not applicable.
945.03 Construction Methods.
945.03.01 General. Where traffic signal equipment is to be removed from an intersection that will
remain open to traffic and be controlled by a new or improved traffic signal implemented as part of the Contract, the Contractor shall minimize the amount of time that a traffic signal is not operational and actively controlling traffic at the intersection, and the Contractor shall plan for and schedule the work accordingly. Unless otherwise approved by the E ngineer, the Contractor’s schedule shall provide for the new or improved traffic signal to be operational before the end of the same working day when the existing traffic signal is turned off. An appropriate number of Trafficpersons and other temporary traffic control devices, as approved by the Engineer and as may be shown on the Plans, must be used to safely control traffic at such intersections when the traffic signal is not operational. The Contractor shall avoid damaging existing equipment and materials that are to remain in place while removing traffic signal equipment. Damage that occurs due to the action or inaction of the Contractor shall be repaired by the Contractor at no additional cost to the State. When a gap or opening remains on an existing-to-rema in pole after the removal of traffic signal equipment, the Contractor shall cover such openings using a knockout seal or other appropriate
