The requirements in section 6-1.08 do not apply to seasonal plants operating fewer than 6 months per year.
The requirements in section 6-1.08 do not apply to informal-bid contracts.
For product category rules for hot mix asphalt or concrete, go to the METS website. Use the product category rule in effect on the date of bid opening unless otherwise authorized. An environmental product declaration for hot mix asphalt or concrete is not required for either of the following conditions:
1. Applicable product category rule has expired without replacement as of the bid opening date.
2. Applicable product category rule was issued less than 50 days before the bid opening date.
Immediately notify the Engineer if a program operator has determined their product category rule does not allow for development of a facility-specific environmental product declaration. Include written correspondence from the program operator with your notification to the Engineer. If the Engineer determines the development of a facility-specific environmental product declaration cannot be achieved, an environmental product declaration will not be required for that material or product.
You must register on the Department’s Data Interchange for Materials Engineering (DIME) at least 15 days before submitting environmental product declarations. Follow the registration process at:
https://dime.dot.ca.gov/
Within 30 days of initial placement of each applicable material or product, submit a facility-specific, product stage, environmental product declaration informational submittal to DIME and provide proof of submission in PDF file format to the Engineer. The DIME entry information must include intended use of materials and estimated quantities of materials to be used as represented by the environmental product declaration.
Failure to provide a required environmental product declaration informational submittal will result in a $6,000 performance failure withhold for each missing declaration. The Department returns the withhold within 30 days after receipt of the compliant declaration if submitted prior to Contract acceptance.
Withholds become permanent deductions if the declaration is not submitted before Contract acceptance.
