No warming fires or other related construction fires are allowed on National Forest System Lands, State and/or Counties lands unless authorized in a designated area by permit from the respective land management agency and approval by the CO. Contractor should be situationally aware of potential fire threat when conditions are dry such as limited/lack of moisture, dry fuels, human threats, and other natural environmental hazards (i.e., lighting and thunderstorms).

The Contractor shall comply with all rules and regulations administered by the Forest Service concerning the use, prevention, and suppression of fires on Federal lands, including any fire prevention orders that may be in effect on State or County lands at the time of the permitted activity. Should a fire occur due to these activities the Contractor may be held liable for the cost of fire suppression, stabilization, and rehabilitation. In the event of a fire Contractor personnel’s safety will be the priority.

The Contractor shall:

1. Immediately notify 911 and Northern Utah Interagency Fire Center of any fire and/or smoke reported within the designated construction area or nearby vicinity to:

Northern Utah Interagency Fire Center 801-495-7600 (main office) 801-495-7611 (Fire Emergency)

2. Operate all internal and external combustion engines on federally managed lands per 26 CFR 261.52, which requires all such engines to be equipped with a qualified spark arrester that is maintained and not modified.

3. Carry shovels, water, and fire extinguishers that are rated at a minimum as ABC – 10 pounds on all equipment and vehicles.

4. When the local fire danger rating is very high or extreme the contractor should have a pumping method and/or tank of at least 50 gallons or more of water on site to aid in fire suppression.

5. Initiate fire suppression actions in the work area to prevent fire spread. Call 911 and Northern Utah Interagency Fire Center. Recover or plate any open trenches within the roadway to facilitate ingress of fire equipment and egress of construction equipment.

6. If a fire spreads beyond contractor capability, all construction equipment and personnel should cease efforts and evacuate the area immediately via pre-identified escape routes.

Several very large fire apparatuses and specialized equipment will be looking to occupy the same space as the fires ignition point and burning area.

7. Notify the CO immediately of any related incident.

ASPHALT BINDER PRICE ADJUSTMENT PROVISION

E-20

Causey Reservoir Access

GENERAL The Asphalt Binder Price Adjustment Provision provides for a price adjustment in the form of payment to the Contractor or a rebate to the Government for fluctuations in the cost of asphalt binder used in the performance of applicable construction work for UT FLAP WEB 10(1) Causey Reservoir Access. Price adjustment provisions are applicable only to the asphalt binder, as defined in Section 702.01, and incorporated in the following contract pay items:

• 40301-0100 Asphalt concrete pavement, Type 1

The price adjustment provisions are also applicable to eligible pay items when the Government adds extra work to the Contract.

The provision will remain in effect throughout the duration of the contract. Enactment of the Asphalt Binder Price Adjustment Provision will only be considered when the increase or decrease in the price of asphalt binder exceeds 10 percent.

The Asphalt Binder Price Adjustment Provision is intended to reduce but not eliminate the cost effects of price uncertainty to the Contractor and the Government for asphalt binder used in the construction of this contract. It provides for sharing by the Government a portion of the Contractor’s risk, which could result from unusual price fluctuations. The provision is not intended to compensate the Contractor for normal day-to-day fluctuations and seasonal changes or to serve as a guarantee of full compensation for asphalt binder price fluctuations.

PRICE INDEXES The Government will post a monthly performance price index at:

https://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/business/construction/escalation/cfl/

Poten and Partners, Inc. (PPI), publishes a weekly report (Asphalt Weekly Monitor) on high and low selling prices for states in five regions throughout the United States including:

• East Coast/Northeast

• Mid-Continent/Midwest

• Gulf Coast/Mid-South

• Rocky Mountains

• West Coast/Northwest

Weekly high and low selling price data reported for Rocky Mountains will be averaged and used to establish a base price index, BPI, for this project and a monthly performance price index, MPPI, for the duration of the contract. These indexes are defined as follows:

• BASE PRICE INDEX The base price index, BPI, is the price index posted by the Government as determined by arithmetic average, as specified above, shown in the four weekly publications immediately preceding the contract award. It is as follows:

BASE PRICE INDEX (BPI) FOR ASPHALT BINDER

PER SHORT TON (TON) = $See Note (1) below

Note (1): BPI calculated by the Government and inserted here immediately before contract award.

E-21

Causey Reservoir Access

• MONTHLY PERFORMANCE PRICE INDEX The monthly performance price index, MPPI, is the monthly price index at the time of performance of applicable work as determined by arithmetic average, as specified above, shown in the four weekly publications issued prior to the last Wednesday of the month (i.e. the monthly performance price index during which asphalt binder is used in the performance of applicable construction work).

PRICE ADJUSTMENTS Price adjustments calculated by the Government are not intended to reflect the Contractor’s actual purchase price. The ratio of the monthly performance price index and the base price index (MPPI/BPI) is calculated and used 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 any asphalt binder 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 determined in accordance with the following formula:

Government Rebate = [0.90 – (MPPI/BPI)] (BPI) (Q)

• Contractor Payment - When the ratio MPPI/BPI is calculated to be greater than 1.10, the Contractor is due additional payment determined in accordance with the following formula:

Contractor Payment = [(MPPI/BPI) – 1.10] (BPI) (Q)

The following definitions are applicable to both the Government Rebate and the Contractor Payment formulas:

MPPI = Monthly Performance Price Index for the month during which asphalt binder is used in the performance of applicable construction work.

BPI = Base Price Index that is established immediately preceding the bid opening.

Q = Quantity in tons of asphalt binder for each pay item that was used on the project during the progress payment period. The quantity will be calculated using the asphalt content of the approved mix design and the following formula:

Q = Asphalt Concrete Pavement tons placed x (% Asphalt/100)

PRICE ADJUSTMENT COMPENSATION Monthly adjustments will be accrued. The final price adjustment will be paid, or rebated, after completion of all work for each eligible pay item.

The Contractor may request in writing a partial price adjustment payment once every 12 months, or when the unpaid accrued increase exceeds $10,000. The Government will take a rebate when the deductive accrual exceeds $10,000.

E-22

Causey Reservoir Access

No price adjustments will be made for work performed beyond the Government-approved Contract completion date.

The maximum allowable monthly and final price adjustment to the Contractor or rebate to the Government is limited to a (MPPI/BPI) ratio of 1.6 and 0.4, respectively.
