To ensure timely invoice processing, the vendor shall submit an original, proper invoice by standard mail or electronically to the office designated on the purchase order as the “bill to” address for work paid by purchase order. If payment is made by purchasing card, the vendor shall submit an original, proper invoice by standard mail or electronically to the appropriate District contact listed in Section

4 above of these specifications. To be a proper invoice, the invoice must include the following information:

• Vendor name, address and contact information

• The ODOT purchase order number authorizing the delivery of products and/or services

• Contract number pursuant to the deliverable

• A description of what the Vendor delivered, including, as applicable, the time, serial number, unit price, quantity, and total price of the products and/or services

• Detailed breakdown of the hourly rate charged, and the actual hours worked for each labor type/discipline

Vendors shall not charge for any items outside of the contract including but not limited to credit card fees, shop supplies, driving time and per diem. The Department will not pay any additional charges for such items.

The bid price of the vendor awarded shall be based upon one thousand (1000) gallon unit. Partial one thousand (1000) gallon units pumped shall be billed on the prorated basis of the bid price divided by 1000 to determine the per gallon cost, then multiply the partial unit amount by the per gallon cost.

Example: 1000-gallon unit cost= $489.00. You are called to pump a device with an estimated capacity of 2500 gallons. You pump 2345 gallons. The billed cost will be:

Two full units (2000 gallons) $489.00 * 2 =$978.00

One partial unit (345 gallons) $489/1000 gal = $0.489 per gal * 345 gal =$168.71

Total Billed Cost =$1146.71

NOTE: In situations where there is system component cleaning by high pressure water, the total amount of liquid pumped and disposed of may be more than the actual capacity of the device.

Any vendor that is awarded a location from this invitation must submit with their invoice a manifest slip from an approved POTW and Landfill (see Section 7.1.2) showing the date, time, driver’s name, license number of the truck and the amount for each load of liquid signed by personnel from the site. This information must be received before payment is made.

13.1: Minimum Charge

For devices that have a capacity of one thousand (1000) gallons or less, the minimum charge shall be the one thousand (1000) gallon unit rate bid.

13.2: Maximum Capacity to be Pumped Without Prior Approval

If power washing or insertion of water into the vault is required to clean the vault to as close to like new as possible, and total pumped quantity is expected to exceed two (2) times the total liquid capacity, the vendor must first obtain approval from the District Facility Program Administrator or their designee.

13.3: Coordination of Matching Rest Area Sites

Every effort will be made to coordinate pumping of matching rest area sites where there are devices on both sides of the highway. Be advised that this will not always be possible. ODOT will make every effort possible to coordinate these services.

Section 14: Right to Audit

The Ohio Department of Transportation reserves the right to audit all invoices submitted by a

Vendor. In addition, when discrepancies arise, the vendor will be required to pay the difference of the amount quoted in the contract and the amount charged on the invoice, plus twenty percent

(20%) of the amount invoiced or fifty dollars ($50.00), whichever is more.

Section 15: Pricing

Vendors may bid on a single district or multiple districts.

Where vendors have regional offices throughout the state and they desire to bid on multiple districts, a single bid packet from the vendor for all districts being bid is required.
