SPECIAL PROVISIONS

BAY COUNTY SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR THE ADAPTATION AND USE OF THE

FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS

FOR ROAD AND BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION

The County uses the “Florida Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Road and

Bridge Construction” as the governing specification for County roads and stormwater projects. This special provision contains specific clauses adopted by the Bay County Board of County

Commissioners that add to or revise the Florida Department of Transportation Standard

Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction or supplement specifications, setting forth conditions varying from or additional to the Standard Specifications and are applicable to Bay County

Public Works road and storm water construction projects.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge

Construction, 2026-27 Edition, Division II shall be the governing specifications for all contract pay items unless the pay items are modified by pay item notes or special provisions. Division I of the

FDOT specifications shall be used for prosecution and progress of the contract except where modified by the County’s general conditions or special provisions. Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 8-1, 9-2.1.1 and 9-2.1.2 of the FDOT specifications are specifically excluded from this project. For purposes of liquidated damages, the contract time shall be calculated in accordance with Section 8-7 of the FDOT specifications with the exception that no work shall be allowed on Saturdays or Sundays.

1. The governing order of project documents is:

a. General Terms and Conditions

b. Bay County Special Provision for the Adaptation and Use of the FDOT

Specifications

c. Bid Form Pay Item Notes

d. Plans

e. FDOT Design Standards

f. Project Specific Specifications

g. FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction

h. When discrepancies exist between any of the above the Bay County Public Works

Director or his designated representative shall determine the proper course of action for the Contractor.

2. The hours of work shall be 7:00 A.M. until 30 minutes prior to sundown Monday through

Friday. No work is to be done in the period from December 24th through the following

January 1st. These days off will be added to the contract time, but no additional compensation for delays will be allowed. No work shall be done on the Friday immediately preceding Memorial Day, or Labor Day. Contract time will be charged during holiday and weekend periods regardless of whether or not the Contractor’s operations have been suspended. The Contractor is not entitled to any additional compensation for suspension of operations during such holiday periods or weekend periods.

3. Contract Time - The number of calendar days allowed by the County for the substantial completion of the Contract. The contract substantial completion date is computed by adding the number of days authorized by the Form of Agreement to the Notice to Proceed date. 26-46 FY26 Annual Resurfacing Phase 2 46 of 90

4. Notice to Proceed – Written communication issued by the County to the Contractor authorizing them to proceed with the work and establishing the date for commencement of the work. For purposes of calculating liquidated damages, the Notice to Proceed date will be considered day zero.

5. Substantial Completion - For a unit price contract a project is substantially complete when all the work, as specified in the plans and list of pay items, has been completely installed.

For a lump sum contract, a project is substantially complete when all the work specified by the plans and specifications are complete and the county can enjoy beneficial use or occupancy and may use, operate and maintain the project in all respects and for its intended purpose as determined by the County’s Designated Representative. The Contractor will not be charged liquidated damages for any days on or after the substantial completion date, but retainage will be withheld until all punchlist items are completed.

6. Whenever unanticipated work not covered by the drawing or specifications is found and is considered essential to satisfactorily completion of the work within intended scope, the

Contractor shall notify the County’s Designated Representative immediately.

7. The County may at any time, as the need arises, order changes within the scope of the work without invalidating the agreement. If such changes increase or decrease the amount due under the Contract Documents, or the time required for performance of the work, an equitable adjustment shall be authorized by Change Order. Rights are reserved to purchase additional quantities at bid price.

8. When the Contractor deems that extra compensation is due for work not covered in the contract the Contractor shall immediately verbally notify the County’s Designated

Representative and follow-up with a written claim within twenty (20) calendar days of the date of the event that gave rise to the claim. The county will not consider any claim when the notice given by the Contractor is over 20 calendar days past the date of the event giving rise to the claim and the Contractor shall waive the claim for compensation. The contractor shall not commence any work claim until they have received written approval from the county to do such work.

9. The Contractor must submit in writing to the County Engineer any claims for compensations due to delays. The County will not compensate the Contractor for any delays for any reason unless five days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) have elapsed from the start of work stoppage. The first day of any claims shall be on day six of the work stoppage. This shall apply to each work stoppage. In order to submit a valid claim for work stoppage, the Contractor must submit a schedule made using the critical path method which shows the early start, late start, early finish, late finish and the critical path. The County expects the Contractor to use forces and equipment on any item of work that can be completed during the delay. The Contractor’s claim must show the delay is due to the controlling item of work as shown on the critical path method schedule. After five work days if the County deems the delay claim to be valid, the Contractor’s claim shall only be for labor, equipment and materials that are delayed due to the controlling work item. If the

County Engineer determines the Contractor forces and equipment can be used on other work items during the delay, no compensation will be given for these forces and equipment.

10. The Contractor fully warrants all workmanship and material, in the performance of his obligation under this contract, for a period of one (1) year after completion of the work 26-46 FY26 Annual Resurfacing Phase 2 47 of 90 described in this Contract. The warranty period begins at the date of final payment for the project. The Contractor shall forthwith repair or remedy any defects in the construction done by him, discovered within one (1) year, without cost or change to the Owner. In the event the Contractor fails, within five days after notice, to begin correction of the defect, or fails within a reasonable time thereafter to complete the correction of the defect, then the Owner may have the work done at the Contractor’s expense or may proceed against the surety bond.

11. Unless otherwise stated in the contract documents, the term furnish shall be interpreted as meaning furnish and install, which shall include the full cost of materials, labor and equipment to furnish and install a complete item to include satisfactorily completion of all testing requirements.

12. The County will not make payment on any invoices until the schedule and if applicable, the schedule of values is received and approved by the County.

13. An invoice must be submitted even if no work was performed during that month.

14. All submittals shall be submitted to the County for staff review no later than 10 work days prior to the products use on the project.

15. The Contractor’s project manager shall provide written documentation on elevations of curbing, inlet box inverts and grate elevations, pipe inverts, final milling and base profiles and cross slopes and any other critical elevations and slopes as directed by the County, all prior to covering up the work and done as the work progresses.

The traffic levels for the project are as specified in the Contract Documents. A

Type SP mix one traffic level higher than the traffic level specified in the Contract Documents may be substituted, at no cost to the Department (i.e., Traffic Level B may be substituted for Traffic

Level A, etc.). As an exception, the same traffic level and binder type that is used for the mainline traffic lanes may be placed in the shoulder at no additional cost to the Department.

SUBARTICLE 334-5.1.2 is deleted and the following substituted:

334-5.1.2 Acceptance Testing Exceptions: When the total combined quantity of hot mix asphalt for the project, as indicated in the Plans for Type SP and Type FC mixtures only, is less than 2000 tons, the Engineer will accept the mix on the basis of visual inspection. The

Engineer may require the Contractor to run process control tests for informational purposes, as defined in 334-4, or may run independent verification tests to determine the acceptability of the material.

Density testing for acceptance will not be performed on widening strips or shoulders with a width of 5 feet or less, open-graded friction courses, variable thickness overbuild courses, leveling courses, any asphalt layer placed on subgrade (regardless of type), miscellaneous asphalt pavement, shared use paths, crossovers, gore areas, or any course with a specified thickness less than 1 inch or a specified spread rate that converts to less than 1 inch as described in 334-1.4.

Density testing for acceptance will not be performed on asphalt courses placed on bridge decks or approach slabs; compact these courses in static mode only per the requirements of 330-7.7. In addition, density testing for acceptance will not be performed on the following areas when they are less than 1,000 feet (continuous) in length: turning lanes, acceleration lanes, deceleration lanes, shoulders, parallel parking lanes or ramps. Do not perform density testing for acceptance in situations where the areas requiring density testing is less than 50 tons within a sublot.

Density testing for acceptance will not be performed in intersections. The limits of the intersection will be from stop bar to stop bar for both the mainline and side streets. A random core location that occurs within the intersection shall be moved forward or backward from the intersection at the direction of the Engineer.

Where density testing for acceptance is not required, compact these courses

(with the exception of open-graded friction courses) in accordance with the rolling procedure

(equipment and pattern) as approved by the Engineer or with Standard Rolling Procedure as specified in 330-7.2. In the event that the rolling procedure deviates from the procedure approved by the Engineer, or the Standard Rolling Procedure, placement of the mix shall be stopped.

The density pay factor (as defined in 334-8.2) for areas not requiring density testing for acceptance will be paid at the same density pay factor as for the areas requiring density testing within the same LOT. If the entire LOT does not require density testing for acceptance, the

LOT will be paid at a density pay factor of 1.00.

SUBARTICLE 334-5.4.1 is deleted and the following substituted:

334-5.4.1 Lost or Missing Verification/Resolution Samples: In the event that any of the Verification and/or Resolution asphalt mixture samples that are in the custody of the

Contractor are lost, damaged, destroyed, or are otherwise unavailable for testing, the minimum possible pay factor for each quality characteristic as described in 334-8.2 will be applied to the entire LOT in question, unless called for otherwise by the Engineer. Specifically, if the LOT in question has more than two sublots, the pay factor for each quality characteristic will be 0.55. If the

LOT has two or less sublots, the pay factor for each quality characteristic will be 0.80. If only the 26-46 FY26 Annual Resurfacing Phase 2 58 of 90 roadway cores are lost, damaged, destroyed, or are otherwise unavailable for testing, then the minimum possible pay factor for density will be applied to the entire LOT in question. In either event, the material in question will also be evaluated in accordance with 334-5.9.5.

If any of the Verification and/or Resolution samples that are in the custody of the Department are lost, damaged, destroyed or are otherwise unavailable for testing, the corresponding QC test result will be considered verified, and payment will be based upon the

Contractor’s data.

916 BITUMINOUS MATERIALS.

(REV 2-16-16) (FA 3-30-16) (7-16)

SECTION 916 is deleted and the following substituted:

SECTION 916

BITUMINOUS MATERIALS

916-1 General.

All products supplied under this Specification shall be one of the products included on the

Approved Product List (APL). Producers seeking evaluation of a product for inclusion on the APL shall submit an application in accordance with Section 6.

For liquid anti-strip agents, in addition to the above, producers shall include a report of test results from an independent laboratory confirming the material meets the requirements of this section. In lieu of submitting test results from an independent laboratory, the Department will evaluate the material. For each liquid anti-strip agent, the producer will submit one pint of a representative sample of liquid anti-strip agent to the State Materials Office when submitting the

APL application to the Department’s Product Evaluation Section.

Any marked variation from the original test values for a material below the established limits or evidence of inadequate quality control or field performance of a material will be considered sufficient evidence that the properties of the material have changed, and the material will be removed from the APL.

916-2 Superpave PG Asphalt Binder:

916-2.1 Requirements: Superpave Performance Graded (PG) asphalt binders, identified as

PG 52-28, PG 58-22, PG 67-22, polymer modified asphalt (PMA) binders, PG 76-22 (PMA) and

916-3.2 Requirements: Use a prime coat meeting the requirements of AASHTO M 140-13 for anionic emulsions, AASHTO M 208-01 (2013) or AASHTO M 316-13 for cationic emulsions, or as specified in the Producer’s QC Plan. For anionic emulsions, the cement mixing test will be waived. For tack products the minimum testing requirements shall include percent residue, naphtha content (as needed), one-day storage stability, sieve test, Saybolt Furol viscosity, original DSR, and solubility (on an annual basis). Residue testing shall be performed on residue obtained from distillation (AASHTO T 59-15) or low- temperature evaporation (AASHTO PP 72-11(2013)

Method B).

916-4 Liquid Anti-strip Agents.

916-4.1 Requirements: Liquid anti-strip agents shall be tested in accordance with FM 1-

T 283. A minimum tensile strength ratio of 0.80 must be obtained when testing the liquid anti-strip with various aggregate sources and two nominal maximum aggregate size mixtures. Specific requirements are contained in the APL process.

916-4.2 Mix Design Verification: Inclusion of a liquid anti-strip agent on the APL does not guarantee that the anti-strip will be approved for use in an asphalt mixture. Particular aggregate sources may require moisture susceptibility testing per FM 1-T 283 for each mix design. Results from this testing may meet the Department’s requirement of minimum tensile strength ratio of 0.80 or may indicate the need for a larger dosage rate of anti-strip agent (up to 0.75% maximum) or a different anti-strip agent to meet the specification requirements.
