Once paving operations are completed, a new type I survey marker shall be placed on the surface over the original survey point, in accordance with Section 667 of the Standard Specifications and as shown on Standard 667101. In the event that paving operations will affect the original survey point and provisions are not specified in the plans, the Engineer will coordinate with the District 7 Chief of Surveys prior to work being performed to determine the appropriate work needed.

Upon completion of the final surface, the Engineer shall contact the District 7 Chief of Surveys to mark the locations of the survey markers that were disturbed during construction. The Contractor will be responsible for providing the traffic control necessary for district survey personnel to lay out the affected survey markers and setting the new survey marker.

Permanent Survey Markers. Permanent survey markers to be reset shall be in accordance with Section 667 of the Standard Specifications and as shown on Standard 667101.

Basis of Payment. The work for protecting or resetting survey markers as well as furnishing any new type 1 survey markers needed at these locations will be paid for at the contract unit price per EACH for PROTECTING OR RESETTING SURVEY MARKERS The cost incurred by the Contractor to provide the traffic control required for District 7 survey personnel to lay out any disturbed survey markers as part of construction operations shall be considered as included in the contract unit bid prices for the various items of work involved, and no additional compensation will be allowed.

REMOVE AND RE-ERECT EXISTING SIGN

This work shall consist of removing an existing sign from an existing PCC island and re-erecting the existing sign in the proposed PCC island as shown in the plans. The existing sign panels, post, and mounting hardware shall be removed and stored in such a manner as to protect them from damage. Should the sign panel, post, or mounting hardware be damaged in a manner that they would be unacceptable for use on the project, the Contractor shall be responsible for the repair and/or replacement cost.

AUTOMATED FLAGGER ASSISTANCE DEVICES (BDE)

Effective: January 1, 2008 Revised: April 1, 2023

Description. This work shall consist of furnishing and operating automated flagger assistance devices (AFADs) as part of the work zone traffic control and protection for two-lane highways where two-way traffic is maintained over one lane of pavement in segments where no sideroads or entrances require deployment of additional flaggers. Use of these devices shall be at the option of the Contractor.

Equipment. AFADs shall be the STOP/SLOW or Red/Yellow Lens type mounted on a trailer or moveable cart meeting the requirements of the MUTCD and NCHRP 350 or MASH 2016, Category 4.

General. AFADs shall be placed at each end of the traffic control, where a flagger is shown on the plans. The AFAD shall be setup within five degrees of vertical.

Flagger symbol signs as shown on the plans shall be replaced with “BE PREPARED TO STOP” signs when the AFAD is in operation.

Personal communication devices shall not be used to operate the AFAD.

Flagging Requirements. Flaggers and flagging requirements shall be according to Article 701.13 of the Standard Specifications and the following.

Each AFAD shall be operated by a flagger trained to operate the specific AFAD to be deployed.

A minimum of two flaggers shall be on site at all times during operation. Each flagger shall be positioned outside the lane of traffic and near each AFAD’s location.

Flagging equipment required for traditional flagging shall be available near each AFAD location in the event of AFAD equipment malfunction/failure.

For nighttime flagging, the AFAD and flagger shall be illuminated according to Article 701.13 of the Standard Specifications.

When not in use, AFADs will be considered non-operating equipment and shall be stored according to Article 701.11 of the Standard Specifications.

SECTION (DX, BX)RS-2&(CX,BX-1)RS-3

BITUMINOUS MATERIALS COST ADJUSTMENTS (BDE)

Effective: November 2, 2006 Revised: August 1, 2017

Description. Bituminous material cost adjustments will be made to provide additional compensation to the Contractor, or credit to the Department, for fluctuations in the cost of bituminous materials when optioned by the Contractor. The bidder shall indicate with their bid whether or not this special provision will be part of the contract.

The adjustments shall apply to permanent and temporary hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures, bituminous surface treatments (cover and seal coats), and preventative maintenance type surface treatments that are part of the original proposed construction, or added as extra work and paid for by agreed unit prices. The adjustments shall not apply to bituminous prime coats, tack coats, crack filling/sealing, joint filling/sealing, or extra work paid for at a lump sum price or by force account.

Method of Adjustment. Bituminous materials cost adjustments will be computed as follows.

CA = (BPIP - BPIL) x (%ACV / 100) x Q

Where: CA = Cost Adjustment, $.

BPIP = Bituminous Price Index, as published by the Department for the month the work is performed, $/ton ($/metric ton).

BPIL = Bituminous Price Index, as published by the Department for the month prior to the letting for work paid for at the contract price; or for the month the agreed unit price letter is submitted by the Contractor for extra work paid for by agreed unit price, $/ton ($/metric ton).

%ACV = Percent of virgin Asphalt Cement in the Quantity being adjusted. For HMA mixtures, the % ACV will be determined from the adjusted job mix formula. For bituminous materials applied, a performance graded or cutback asphalt will be considered to be 100% ACV and undiluted emulsified asphalt will be considered to be 65% ACV.

Q = Authorized construction Quantity, tons (metric tons) (see below).

For HMA mixtures measured in square yards: Q, tons = A x D x (Gmb x 46.8) / 2000. For HMA mixtures measured in square meters: Q, metric tons = A x D x (Gmb x 1) / 1000. When computing adjustments for full-depth HMA pavement, separate calculations will be made for the binder and surface courses to account for their different Gmb and % ACV.

For bituminous materials measured in gallons: Q, tons = V x 8.33 lb/gal x SG / 2000 For bituminous materials measured in liters: Q, metric tons = V x 1.0 kg/L x SG / 1000

Where: A = Area of the HMA mixture, sq yd (sq m).

D = Depth of the HMA mixture, in. (mm).

Gmb = Average bulk specific gravity of the mixture, from the approved mix design.

V = Volume of the bituminous material, gal (L).

SG = Specific Gravity of bituminous material as shown on the bill of lading.

SECTION (DX, BX)RS-2&(CX,BX-1)RS-3

Basis of Payment. Bituminous materials cost adjustments may be positive or negative but will only be made when there is a difference between the BPIL and BPIP in excess of five percent, as calculated by:

Percent Difference = {(BPIL – BPIP) ÷ BPIL} × 100

Bituminous materials cost adjustments will be calculated for each calendar month in which applicable bituminous material is placed; and will be paid or deducted when all other contract requirements for the work placed during the month are satisfied. The adjustments shall not apply during contract time subject to liquidated damages for completion of the entire contract.
