Special Contract Requirements Project: MT DAR MALM 2023(1), Defense Access Roads FY 2023 supporting documentation containing all ownership records that are available, including any purchase records, depreciation records, maintenance records, or other records that relate to the ownership and operating costs for each piece of equipment.

When actual costs cannot be determined, use the rates shown in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule (CEOOES) for the region where costs are incurred. Adjust the rates for used equipment and for other variable parameters used in the schedules. Provide the CO with a completed WFLHD Form 103, proposed CEOOES rates for each piece of equipment with supporting calculations, and any other necessary documentation about the equipment to calculate allowable ownership and operating costs using CEOOES. An electronic version of the WFLHD Form 103 form is available at:

https://highways.dot.gov/federal-lands/construction/forms-wfl.

For equipment that is not planned to be used at the time of the preconstruction conference, but is later used on the project, provide required information and data prior to mobilizing the equipment to the project.

109.06A Adjustments for Price Fluctuations. (Added Subsection).

Price adjustments for pay items listed in Table 109-1 will be made when the price fluctuation for products used in the performance of the work exceed specified limits. Adjustments are not intended to compensate for normal day-to-day fluctuations, seasonal changes, or to serve as a guarantee of full compensation for price fluctuations. It does provide for sharing in a portion of the risk, which could result from unusual price fluctuations. No price adjustments will be made for work performed beyond the fixed completion date.

Monthly adjustments will be accrued with the payment or rebate to be made in the final voucher.

A partial price adjustment payment may be made once every 12 months or when the unpaid accrued increase exceeds $10,000 when requested in writing. The Government will withhold a rebate when the deductive accrual exceeds $10,000.

The maximum allowable monthly and final adjustment for payment to the Contractor or rebate to the Government is limited to 50 percent of the Base Price Index.

(a) Fuel Price Adjustment. The Government will determine price indexes for fuel using price data obtained from the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) which publishes a daily report (Monday through Friday) on gasoline and distillate reseller prices. Gross No. 2 Distillate rack average price data for Ultra Low Sulfur No. 2 Diesel fuel reported for Bozeman will be averaged and used to establish a Base Price Index (BPI) and a Monthly Performance Price Index (MPPI). These indexes are defined as follows:

(1) Base Price Index. The Base Price Index (BPI) is a price index determined by the arithmetic average as specified above, reported in the OPIS publications for the four weeks immediately preceding the bid opening.

BPI (LOW SULFUR, NO. 2 DIESEL FUEL) = $ [PRICE TO BE INSERTED AT AWARD] per U.S. gallon

(2) Monthly Performance Price Index. The Monthly Performance Price Index (MPPI) is the arithmetic average of the weekly price data from OPIS publications issued before the last Wednesday of the month in which the work was performed.

The BPI and MPPI will be posted at:

https://highways.dot.gov/federal-lands/business/escalation-factors-wfl/.

Price adjustments to fuel will be calculated by the Government using a ratio of the MPPI/BPI to determine price adjustments as follows:

No price adjustment – When the ratio MPPI/BPI falls within the range of 0.90 to 1.10, no price adjustment will be made for fuel used in construction work performed during the relevant month.

Government rebate – When the ratio MPPI/BPI is calculated to be less than 0.90, the Government is due a rebate as follows:

Government Rebate = (0.90 – MPPI/BPI) (BPI) (Q) (FUF)

Contractor payment - When the ratio MPPI/BPI is calculated to be greater than 1.10, the Contractor is due additional payment as follows:

Contractor Payment = (MPPI/BPI – 1.10) (BPI) (Q) (FUF) where:

Q = Quantity of work on the project during the progress payment period for pay items shown in Table 109-1; and

E-27 DIVISION 100

Project: MT DAR MALM 2023(1), Defense Access Roads FY 2023

FUF = Fuel Usage Factor shown in Table 109-2.

When calculating the payment or rebate, the Government will round each portion of the calculation to two decimal places.

109.08 Progress Payments. Amend as follows:

Delete paragraph (b) and substitute the following:

(b) Closing date and invoice submittal date. The closing date for progress payments will be the last day of the month. Include work performed after the closing date in the following month's invoice.

Invoices received by the designated billing office after the 16th day following the closing date, for work included in the September through July invoices, will not be accepted for payment processing that month. For work included in the August invoice, submit the invoice to the designated billing office by the 5th day after the closing date. Invoices received by the designated billing office after the 5th day following the closing date, for work included in the August invoice, will not be accepted for payment processing that month. Include late, unprocessed invoice submittals in the following month’s invoice.

Delete paragraph (e) and substitute the following:

(e) Processing progress payment requests. No payment will be made for work unless field note documentation for the work was provided by the closing date.
