This does not include expenses associated with transportation between the Contractor’s place of temporary lodging and bridge inspection sites, which are included in the “UBIV and Driver” pay item. Compensation is full payment for performing all mobilization work in a complete and acceptable manner. All risk, loss, damage, or expense arising out of the nature or prosecution of the work is included in the compensation provided by the lump sum quote amount.

Countable hours are defined as hours spent at bridge inspection sites, traveling between bridge inspection sites, and traveling between the Contractor’s place of temporary lodging and bridge inspection sites. Time spent traveling between the Contractor’s place of lodging and bridge inspection sites is limited to the amount of time required to drive directly from the lodging site to the bridge inspection site, and vice versa. Hours expended due to unnecessarily long routes, meals, and other unnecessary stoppages are not countable. In addition, if the Contractor chooses to commute to and from its own facility or personal residence each day, and the time required for such travel exceeds the amount of time required to commute from the nearest place of lodging, only the hours required to commute from the nearest place of lodging are countable.

Standby time resulting from Contractor equipment failure, and time expended for equipment maintenance and repairs, is not countable.

Countable miles are defined as miles traveled each work day from the time the Contractor leaves its place of temporary lodging to the time it returns to its place of temporary lodging. Miles traveled due to unnecessary detours or unnecessarily long routes are not countable. Miles traveled as part of mobilization are also not countable. In addition, if the Contractor chooses to commute to and from its own facility or personal residence each day, and that distance exceeds the distance to commute from the nearest place of lodging, only the distance from the nearest place of lodging is countable.
TRAFFIC CONTROL AND SIGNAGE
The Contractor will be paid the lump sum quote amount for all expenses associated with providing traffic control and signage.

To prevent being timed out due to no-activity, users should login once within 45 days of their last login.
