SECTION 01 02 51 - MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT SUPPLEMENT

GENERAL

SUMMARY

Measurement and payment for contract work will be made only for and under those pay items included in the Schedule of Items. All other work, labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals necessary to successfully complete the project will be considered as included in the payment for items shown. This section supplements Section 01 02 50 and defines the units and methods of measurement for work items listed in the Schedule of Items.

UNITS OF MEASUREMENT

Payment shall be by units defined and determined according to U.S. Standard measure and by the following:

Acre: Make longitudinal and transverse measurements for area computations horizontally.

Cubic Yard (CY): A measurement computed by one of the following methods:

Excavation, Embankment, or Borrow. The measurement computed by the average end area method from measurements made longitudinally along a centerline or reference line.

Material in Place or Stockpile. The measurement computed using the dimensions of the in-place material.

Material in the Delivery Vehicle. The measurement computed using measurements of material in the hauling vehicles at the point of delivery. Vehicles shall be loaded to at least their water level capacity. Leveling of the loads may be required when vehicles arrive at the delivery point.

Each (EA): One complete unit, which may consist of one or more parts.

Gallons (GAL): The quantity shall be measured by any of the following methods:

Measured volume in container.

Metered volume by approved metering system.

Commercially package volume.

Hour (HR): Measurement will be for the actual number of hours (or fraction thereof) ordered by the Contracting Officer and performed by the contractor.

Linear Foot (LF): Measurement of work along its length from point-to-point; parallel to the base or foundation. Do not measure overlaps.

Lump Sum (LS): One complete unit.

Mile: Measured horizontally along the centerline of each roadway, approach, or ramp.

Pound (LB): For sacked or packaged material, measurement will be the net weight as packed by the manufacturer.

Square Foot (SF): Measured on a plane parallel to the surface being measured.

Square Yard (SY): Measured on a plane parallel to the surface being measured.

Ton: Measured as a short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds.

METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

One of the following methods of measurement for determining final payment is designated on the Schedule of Items for each pay item:

ACTUAL QUANTITIES (AQ) - These quantities are determined from actual measurements of completed work.

DESIGNED QUANTITIES (DQ) - These quantities denote the final number or units to be paid for under the terms of the contract. They are based upon the original design data available prior to advertising the project. Original design data include the preliminary survey information, design assumptions, calculations, drawings, and the presentation in the contract. Changes in the number of units shown in the Schedule of Items may be authorized under any of the following conditions:

As a result of changes in the work authorized by the CO.

As a result of the CO determining that errors exist in the original design that cause a pay item quantity to change by 15 percent or more.

As a result of the Contractor submitting to the CO a written request showing evidence of errors in the original design that cause a pay item quantity to change by 15 percent or more. The evidence must be verifiable and consist of calculations, drawings, or other data that show how the designed quantity is believed to be in error.

LUMP SUM QUANTITIES (LSQ) - These quantities denote one complete unit of work as required by or described in the contract, including necessary materials, equipment, and labor to complete the job. They shall not be measured.

STAKED QUANTITIES (SQ) - These quantities are determined from staked measurements prior to construction.

VEHICLE QUANTITIES (VQ) - These quantities are measured or weighed in hauling vehicles.
