E. If the CONTRACTOR desires to utilize materials, means, or methods which in accordance with the FDOT specifications requires Quality Control testing and approval by the Engineer, the testing shall be performed at the expense of the CONTRACTOR, and reviewed for acceptance by the COUNTY. The COUNTY also reserves the right to require testing above and beyond the FDOT specified LOT testing in situations when the testing of LOT quantities will not provide a reasonable assurance of the quality of the WORK. This additional testing by the CONTRACTOR will be at no additional cost to the COUNTY.

F. At the CONTRACTOR’s option he may submit a Value Engineering Change Proposal, also know as a Cost Savings Initiative Proposal (CSIP), or hereinafter referred to as a VECP or CSIP in accordance with FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Section 4-3.9, Value Engineering Incentive, or Cost Savings Initiative Proposal. The COUNTY reserves the right to reject at its discretion any VECP or CSIP submittal and the CONTRACTOR shall remain obligated to perform the WORK in accordance with the terms of the existing CONTRACT.

G. Paragraph Not Applicable.

This Section modifies or clarifies items in the FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction 2023-2024 and the Hillsborough County Public Works Standard Specifications for Construction October 2023 Edition.

Standard Specifications for Road & Bridge Construction 2023-2024, Section 660, Loop Detector Assembly: Article 660-6 Method of Measurement and Article 660-7 Basis of Payment:

The method of measurement for traffic loop assemblies is per 660-8.2 Furnish and Install. Many traffic loop assemblies in Hillsborough County’s traffic systems may only require connection of the new loop lead into the first pull box. However, there are traffic signals on County roads that http://www.fdot.gov/programmanagement/Implemented/SpecBooks/July2018/JULY2018BK.shtm http://www.fdot.gov/programmanagement/Implemented/SpecBooks/July2018/JULY2018BK.shtm http://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/library/hillsborough/media-center/documents/public-works/ttm/ttm-2017/oct-2017-hc-public-works-specs.pdf?la=en http://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/library/hillsborough/media-center/documents/public-works/ttm/ttm-2017/oct-2017-hc-public-works-specs.pdf?la=en are operated and maintained by other municipalities. The CONTRACTOR is cautioned about predicating their price on a limited scope of work. Some traffic loop assemblies may require significantly more WORK to satisfy the Specifications, such as installing additional signal cables in conduits, cutting and epoxy sealing signal cables in asphalt, loop lead-in installation, and any other WORK required to produce a complete and accepted installation by the jurisdictional owner and operator of the traffic signals. Payment will be per traffic loop assembly type (AS).

All other provisions of Section 660 apply.

Hillsborough County Public Works Standard Specifications for Construction October 2023 Edition, Section 101 – 1.02 Payment for Mobilization: Section 101-2.01 Basis of Payment:

Payment for Mobilization shall be based on lump sum as shown in the CONTRACT bid pages.

All other provisions of Section 101 apply.

Hillsborough County Public Works Standard Specifications for Construction October 2023 Edition, Maintenance of Traffic Section 102-5.01 Basis of Payment:
