cn102-000100-01 ALTERNATE CATEGORY BID ITEM AND AWARD OF CONTRACT

The Bidders’ attention is directed to the division of the Schedule of Bid Items into two sections, Section 0001 and Section 0002. The description of these two sections is as follows:

Section 0001

Base Bid - Standard Items required for the construction of the work listed in these schedules.

Section 0002

Alternate Category “A” Bid Item –Shoulder Maintenance Material** for possible use in SHOULDER RENOVATION work in these schedules

Bidders shall furnish prices on all bid items in Section 0001, and may also supply a price for the bid item in Section 0002. The award of the contract will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder submitting the lowest Base Bid for Section 0001. If the Contractor has also supplied a price for Section 0002, then the Department, with the concurrence of the Contractor, may allow the use of Shoulder Maintenance Material for shoulder renovation in lieu of, or in addition to, the graded Aggregate Material specified in Section 0001.

https://outsidevdot.cov.virginia.gov/P0JQP/2016_Standard_Specifications/cn102-000100-01.docx

Any use of the Shoulder Maintenance Material or a combination blend must be approved for use by the Engineer before Shoulder Renovation operations begin; however, such approval is conditional, and its continued use based on successful performance in the field as determined by the Engineer. In the event the Shoulder Maintenance Material in Section 0002 is not approved for use, or no price for Shoulder Maintenance Material was included in the bid, the Contractor shall use the specified Aggregate Base Material for shoulder renovation work at the price provided in the Base Bid in Section 0001.

In the event the use of Shoulder Maintenance Material is permitted by the Engineer for Shoulder Renovation operations and results in the field prove unacceptable to the Department or the Contractor, the permission for its continued use will be withdrawn, and the Contractor shall use the specified Aggregate Base Material at the price provided in the Base Bid in Section 0001.

The award of the Contract will be in accordance with Section 103.02 of the

Specifications except as amended herein.

** Shoulder Maintenance Material shall be as specified in Special Provision for Shoulder Renovation (10-3-16) Note: The use of CHCC or any CHCC blended material as Shoulder Maintenance Material will only be permitted in areas meeting the following conditions: No more than 3 feet in width and no more than 3 inches in compacted depth once placed.

7-13-16 (SPCN)

cn104-000110-00 SECTION 104.01—INTENT OF CONTRACT of the Specifications is replaced by the following:

The intent of the Contract is to provide for the completion of all work specified therein.

The Contractor shall base his bid on the cost of completing all work specified in the Contract.

Budgetary constraints as deemed necessary by the Department may be imposed at any time during the life of the Contract. This may affect the number of routes paved and thus the final quantity of work to be performed.

If prior to initiating or during the performance of the work, the Engineer determines that the cost of completion of all work specified in the Contract will exceed the limits of the budgeted funds, the Contractor will be notified immediately. With such notice the Engineer will specify which routes will be deleted according to the Department’s predetermined listing of priorities.

If after routes are deleted and work proceeds, budgets revisions indicate that the cost of work to be completed by the Contractor will fall below the limits of the budgeted funds, the Department will determine which of the previously deleted routes will be returned to the Schedule to be completed at the contract unit price.

INFORMAL PARTNERING

January 14, 2008c; Reissued July 12, 2016

I. DECLARATION AND DESCRIPTION

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is firmly committed to the formation of a partnering relationship with the Contractor, all subcontractors, suppliers, FHWA representatives;

where appropriate, other federal agencies, local government officials, utilities representatives, law enforcement and public safety officials, consultants, and other stakeholders to effectively and efficiently manage and complete each construction or maintenance contract to the mutual and individual benefits and goals of all parties. Partnering is an approach to fulfilling this commitment where all parties to the contract, as well as individuals and entities associated with or otherwise affected by the contract, willingly agree to dedicate themselves by working together as a team to fulfill and complete the construction or maintenance contract in cost effective ways while preserving the highest standards of safety and quality called for by the Contract combined with the goals of on time/on budget completion. The approach must still allow for the fact that the members of the team share many common interests yet have differing authorities, interests, and objectives that must be accommodated for the project to be viewed as successful by all parties. It is recognized by VDOT that partnering is a relationship in which:

● Trust and open communications are encouraged and expected by all participants

● All parties move quickly to address and resolve issues at the lowest possible level by approaching problems from the perspectives and needs of all involved

● All parties have identified common goals and at the same time respect each other’s individual goals and values

● Partners create an atmosphere conducive to cooperation and teamwork in finding better solutions to potential problems and issues at hand

II. INFORMAL PARTNERING STRUCTURE

It is the business intent of the Department that informal partnering will be required on this project, whereby the spirit and principles of partnering are practiced from onsite field personnel to executive level owners and employees. The VDOT Field Guide to Partnering available on the VDOT website http://www.virginiadot.org/business/resources/partnerfinalallowres.pdf will be the standard reference guide utilized to structure and guide partnering efforts. This guide will be systematically evaluated to incorporate better practices as our partnering efforts evolve. Of particular note is the need for effective and responsive communication between parties to the partnering relationship as emphasized in Section 105.03(d) of the Specifications.

Informal partnering need not require the services of a professional facilitator and may be conducted by the actual partnering participants themselves. Informal partnering, and more specifically the Partnering Charter, will not change the legal relationship of the parties to the Contract nor relieve either party from any of the terms of the Contract.

III. PROCEDURES

The following are general procedures for informal partnering and are not to be considered as inclusive or representative of procedural requirements for all projects. Participants shall consult the VDOT Field Guide for Partnering for assistance in developing specific guidelines to those efforts required for their individual projects.

https://outsidevdot.cov.virginia.gov/P0JQP/2016_Standard_Specifications/SP105-000100-00.docx http://www.virginiadot.org/business/resources/partnerfinalallowres.pdf

Prior To Project Construction: At least 5 days prior to or in connection with the preconstruction conference the Contractor shall attend a conference with the Engineer at which time he and the Engineer shall discuss the extent of the informal partnering efforts required for the project, how these have been accommodated in the Contractor’s bid and the identity of expectations and stakeholders associated with the project. Informal partnering efforts require the Department and the Contractor to mutually choose a single person from among their collective staffs, or a trained facilitator to be responsible for leading all parties through the VDOT Field Guide to Partnering and any subsequent partnering efforts.

Partnering Meetings During Project Construction: In informal partnering efforts the Contractor shall provide a location for regularly scheduled partnering meetings during the construction period.

Such meetings will be scheduled as deemed necessary by either party. The Contractor and VDOT will require the attendance of their key decision makers, including subcontractors and suppliers.

Both the Contractor and VDOT shall also encourage the attendance of affected utilities, concerned businesses, local government and civic leaders or officials, residents, and consultants, which may vary at different times during the life of the Contract The Department and the Contractor are to agree upon partnering invitees in advance of each meeting. Follow-up partnering workshops may be held throughout the duration of the project as deemed necessary by the Contractor and the Engineer.

IV. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

Informal Partnering, because the extent to which certain partnering activities are pursed is at the Contractor’s option, and may vary according to project complexity, work history between the parties, project duration, the Contractor’s own unique methods, means, and schedule to execute and complete the work, etc.; will not be paid for as a separate bid item but all the costs associated with informal partnering efforts for the duration of the work shall be considered inclusive and incidental to the cost of other appropriate items.

ASPHALT MATERIAL PRICE ADJUSTMENT

June 29, 2023

All asphalt material contained in the master listing on the Construction Division web site of eligible bid items and designated by pay items in the Contract will be price adjusted according to the provisions as set forth herein. Other items will not be adjusted, except as otherwise specified in the Contract. If new pay items which contain asphalt material are established by Change Order, they will not be subject to Price Adjustment unless specifically designated in the Change Order to be subject to Price Adjustment.

Each month, the Department will publish an average state-wide PG 64S-22 f.o.b. price per ton and an average PG 64E-22 f.o.b. price per ton developed from the average terminal prices provided to the Department from suppliers of asphalt cement to contractors doing work in Virginia. The Department will collect terminal prices from approximately 12 terminals each month. These prices will be received once each month from suppliers on or about the last weekday of the month. The high and low prices will be eliminated and the remaining values averaged to establish the average statewide price for the following month. The monthly state-wide average price will be posted on the Construction Division website on or about the first weekday of the following month. In the event the average prices were to change by 10 percent or more of the Base Index during the middle of the month the Contractor can submit a letter to the Department and supplier that provides evidence of the difference in price. Upon receipt of the letter consideration will be given to extend additional adjustments as deemed necessary.

This monthly statewide average price will be the Base Index for all contracts…
