Form CS-102 has information required to complete the Chapter 102 Form(s). Ensure the General Project and SCM Information, Construction Information, and Licensed Professional Certification sections are completed by the identified licensed professional responsible for overseeing the critical stages of the approved PCSM plan.

Prepare an as-built (record) PCSM Plan to be sealed and signed by the identified licensed professional registered in the Commonwealth. All construction survey, plan preparation, and engineering required for the as-built (record) PCSM Plan will be incidental to the contract items. The as-built (record) PCSM Plan must accurately reflect deviations from the approved PCSM Plan including, but not limited to, plan locations, dimensions, inverts/elevations, materials used and grading. Update the as-built (record) PCSM Plan as construction of the project’s PCSM features progresses. Have the identified licensed professional immediately notify the Representative of all deviations from the approved PCSM Plan. Deviations to the approved PCSM Plan must be submitted for approval. Assist with the determination and documentation if the as-built deviations require a permit amendment or if the PCSM features must be removed and replaced as indicated on the PCSM Plan.

Assist the Representative in performing visual site inspections weekly and after each precipitation event greater than 0.25 inches to ensure the project's E&S Best Management Practices (BMPs) are functioning properly. Immediately initiate corrective actions, at no additional cost to the Department, upon notification by the Representative of noncompliance with the provisions of this section that the Representative has determined requires immediate corrective action under Department policies. For all other notifications of noncompliance, initiate corrective actions within 24 hours. Failure or refusal to promptly comply with such notice upon receipt may, at the Department’s sole discretion, result in: the withholding payment of estimates for work completed until the requirements of the E&S Plan are met, assessment of E&S noncompliance liquidated damages as specified in Section 108.07(d) or issuance of a written order stopping all or part of the work until the corrective action has been taken and the requirements of the E&S Plan are met. No claims for extension of time, costs, or damages arising from, related to, or based upon such notices of noncompliance or stop orders will be granted, paid, or considered.

Provision Body:

SECTION 110—PAYMENT

Section 110.06 MATERIAL STORED OR ON HAND. Revise to read as follows:

110.06 MATERIAL STORED OR ON HAND—

(a) Stored Material. The Representative may authorize payment for certain material, using Form CS-110, before its incorporation into the work. Upon the Contractor's request submitted through the PennDOT Project Collaboration Center’s (PPCC) Material-Stored Material (CS-110) workflow and the Representative's acceptance in PPCC, the Contractor may be paid 100% of the cost of the material, less the pro‑rata share of the retainage, if any; provided the quantity of stored material does not exceed the total estimated quantity required to complete the project and the cost is at least $1,000 but does not exceed 90% of the contract price of the applicable contract item or component item. Load-Transfer Units are only eligible for 90% of the cost of the material. The cost of the material is that amount to be paid by the Contractor as evidenced by invoices. Fabricated structural steel that is to receive a protective coating may be approved for prepayment at 75% of the contract price of the applicable contract item or component item, before application of the coating, provided the structure has been fully fabricated and preassembly of field connections has been made.

Payment for stored material will not be authorized until the material has been delivered to the project site or an approved location in the vicinity of the project, is inspected by the Representative to ensure the material is in a satisfactory condition and of sufficient quantity, is stored in an approved manner, and conforms to the requirements specified in this Section and Section 106.03. Identify stored material by project designation and set apart from other materials. Fabricated precast/prestressed bridge structure elements indicated on an S-number structure plan are eligible for prepayment when they are approved to ship. Other materials to be stored less than 30 days are not eligible for prepayment. In determining eligibility for prepayment, the beginning date for evaluating whether the required 30-day minimum storage period will be met will be the date the material is delivered to the project or approved storage location, or the date the invoice is submitted to the Department, whichever is the latter. Material originally determined to be ineligible for prepayment due to the minimum storage period requirement, that is then stored for more than 30 days, is eligible for prepayment on the next estimate, provided the invoice has been submitted to the Department. If the Representative determines, because of required fabrication at an off‑site location, that it is not feasible or practicable to store material in the vicinity of the project, the material may be stored at an approved location, which is not in the vicinity of the project, at the Contractor’s expense.

With the exception of structural steel to be incorporated into fabricated structural steel components for main bridge members, as specified in Section 110.06(a)1., only end product manufactured material or fully fabricated products that are awaiting installation and/ or incorporation into the finished work are eligible for prepayment. Ingredients of a finished product are not eligible for prepayment.

Aggregates, cements, and other bulk material are not eligible for prepayment. Beams containing precast components or secondary precast elements detailed on the structure component item schedule or both are eligible for prepayment. Living or perishable plant materials are not eligible for prepayment before planting.

Assume full control and responsibility for the protection of the stored material from the elements and against loss or damage by any cause. In the event any stored material becomes lost, stolen, impaired, or damaged while stored, the monetary value of the lost, stolen, impaired, or damaged material as may have been paid for in a current estimate will be deducted from a subsequent estimate.

Retain the title to the prepaid material until issuance of the acceptance certificate.

Payment for acceptable stored material will be made on current estimates against the applicable contract item. The amount paid will be proportionately recouped as the material is incorporated into the work. The cost of surplus stored material previously paid on a current estimate but not ultimately incorporated in the final measured work will not be included in the final payment. Surplus stored material is the property of the Contractor. Remove surplus material from the project and dispose of in a satisfactory manner.

Pay the material provider the amount due, as shown on the invoices within 7 calendar days of receipt of payment from the Department. Provide evidence of payment upon request. Failure to make invoice payments as specified will cause the appropriate monies to be deducted from future estimates and will cause the disapproval of further prepayment requests.

1. Prepayment for Structural Steel. Structural steel to be incorporated into fabricated structural steel components for main bridge members may be approved for payment up to 60% of the contract price of the applicable contract item or component item; provided the quantity, cost, delivery, inspection, and storage requirements of Section 110.06(a) are met. The cost of the structural steel is that amount to be paid by the Fabricator as evidenced by invoices. Invoices for approved structural steel are to include the material quantity and Department project identification (i.e., ECMS number, SR & Section, and county), and must be accompanied by

May 15, 2026 12:21:10 PM Page 19 of 48 certification, as specified in Section 106.03(b)3., and proof of payment (e.g., a copy of a canceled check or receipt, or a certified letter from the structural steel supplier acknowledging receipt of payment).

Payment for approved structural steel will be made on current estimates against the applicable contract item. The amount paid will be proportionately recouped as the fabricated structural steel components are incorporated into the work. Pay the Fabricator the amount due, as shown on the invoices, within 7 calendar days of receipt of payment from the Department. When payment is made, the structural steel becomes the property of the Department. Have the Fabricator furnish a transfer of ownership document within 7 calendar days of receipt of payment and promptly submit the documentation to the Department.

Only approved structural steel to be incorporated into fabricated structural steel components for main bridge members is eligible for prepayment. Handling, transportation, and storage of structural steel materials including, but not limited to, any storage site rental, security, and weather protection, are to be borne by the Contractor and included in the contract price for the applicable contract item.
