I. Contract Provisions – Right to Know Law 8-K-1532

a. The Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law (RTKL), 65 P.S. §§ 67.101-3104, applies to this Contract.

b. If the Department needs assistance in any matter arising out of the RTKL related to this Contract, the Department will notify the Contractor using the legal contact information provided in this Contract. The Contractor, at any time, may designate a different contact for such purpose upon reasonable prior written notice to the Department.

c. Upon written notification from the Department that it requires assistance in responding to a request under the RTKL for information related to this Contract that may be in the Contractor’s possession, constituting, or alleged to constitute, a public record in accordance with the RTKL (“Requested Information”), the Contractor will:

1. Provide the Department, within 10 calendar days after receipt of written notification, access to, and copies of, any document or information in the Contractor’s possession arising out of this Contract that the Department reasonably believes is Requested Information and may be a public record under the RTKL; and

2. Provide such other assistance as the Department may reasonably request, in order to comply with the RTKL with respect to this Contract.

d. If the Contractor considers the Requested Information to include a request for a Trade Secret or Confidential Proprietary Information, as those terms are defined by the RTKL, or other information that the Contractor considers exempt from production under the RTKL, notify the Department and provide, within 7 calendar days of receiving the written notification, a written statement signed by a representative of the Contractor explaining why the requested material is exempt from public disclosure under the RTKL.

e. The Department will rely upon the written statement from the Contractor in denying a RTKL request for the Requested Information unless the Department determines that the Requested Information is clearly not protected from disclosure under the RTKL. Should the Department determine that the Requested Information is clearly not exempt from disclosure, provide the Requested Information within 7 calendar days of receipt of written notification of the Department’s determination.

f. Failing to provide the Requested Information within the time period required by these provisions, indemnify and hold the Department harmless for any damages, penalties, costs, detriment or harm that the Department may incur as a result of this failure, including any statutory damages assessed against the Department.

All construction survey, plan preparation, and engineering required for the as-built (record) PCSM Plan will approved Post Construction Stormwater Management (PCSM) Plan.

August 4, 2026 11:15:10 AM Page 17 of 87 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.

Nothing in this Section is to be interpreted to relieve the Contractor of its obligation to fully and timely comply with all applicable laws and any permits for the project. The time periods set forth in this Section do not supersede any more stringent time periods required by applicable laws or permits for the project.

If corrective action or noncompliance with the provisions of this Section result from design errors/omissions or a precipitation event exceeding the design storm criteria as specified in applicable Department publications; the cost and/or time required for the performance of the corrective actions for noncompliance notices or stop work orders will be considered as specified in Section 110.03 and Section 108.06, as applicable.

Utilize Department, DEP, or other authorized agency’s form(s) included in the contract or project permits unless directed otherwise by the Representative, DEP, the County Conservation District or other authorized regulatory agency.

For the purpose of determining compliance with the provisions of this section, “substantial completion” will be considered to have been attained when all of the following project milestones have been reached:

Either a semi-final or final inspection has been performed, physical work is complete, and an Environmental Commitments and Mitigation Tracking System (ECMTS) Sheet has been executed if applicable to the project.

Earth disturbance activity has been permanently stabilized and sufficient vegetative growth has been achieved to meet permit conditions (uniform 70% perennial vegetative cover) and agreed to by DEP or delegated CCD.

Installation of PCSM SCMs have occurred if applicable. Upon completion of PCSM conversions and facilities, the County Conservation District must approve the removal of all remaining E&S BMPs.

Once a project with a general or individual NPDES Permit has reached substantial completion, submit to the Representative a DEP Notice of Termination (NOT) Form ensuring Sections 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8, are fully executed. The NOT is to be accompanied by the required as-built (record) PCSM Plan, the final certification by the licensed professional and the Contractor’s executed portion of the ECMTS Construction Tracking Signature Sheet.

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, August 4, 2026 11:15:10 AM Page 21 of 87 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 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.

SECTION 404—EVALUATION OF ASPHALT PAVEMENT RIDE QUALITY AND PAYMENT OF INCENTIVE

Section 404.1 DESCRIPTION. Revise to read as follows:

404.1 DESCRIPTION. This work evaluates an asphalt pavement surface profile and determines the ride-quality incentive associated with the pavement surface profile.

(a) General Requirements. Determine the ride quality of finished pavement surfaces, including overlaid bridge approach slabs and overlaid bridge decks. At least two of the following construction operations must be indicated in areas included in ride-quality lot measurements:

In the presence of the Representative, measure the pavement surface profile according to PTM No. 428. Provide daily calibration results to the Representative before taking any measurements. Provide the raw unfiltered data files and a summary printout of the resultant International Roughness Index (IRI) data and Mean Roughness Index (MRI) values to the Representative within 24 hours of taking measurements. The Representative will determine payment for each ride-quality lot based on the MRI.

Measure the pavement surface of the following excluded areas separate from the pavement surface profile of ride-quality lots. The Representative will not include measurements from excluded areas to determine lot incentive payment.

Pavement surfaces not constructed as a full-depth overlay, as indicated, such as the vertical transition areas at the limits of paving and at the approaches to bridges.

Bridge decks unless overlaid.

August 4, 2026 11:15:10 AM Page 22 of 87

Ramps less than 1,500 feet in length and less than 12 feet wide.

Tapered pavements.

Shoulders, medians, and other pavement surfaces indicated.

Pavement from 5 feet before and up to 5 feet after any appurtenances such as water boxes, manholes, railroad tracks, and inlets extending out into the pavement.

Partial lots less than 100 feet

Roadways with a posted speed limit of 40 miles per hour or lower.

(b) Lot Size. A full lot is 528 feet of a single pavement lane. The Representative will designate lots starting at the beginning limit of paving and continuing to the ending limit of paving for each pavement lane and ramp that is 12 feet or wider. Do not include the length of excluded areas in the 528-foot lot.

The Representative will designate a partial lot at the ending limit of paving and at an excluded area, when the lot length is less than 528 feet. The Representative will evaluate a partial lot as a percentage of a full lot.

Section 404.3(a) Equipment and Operator. Revise to read as follows:

(a) Equipment and Operator. Provide pavement surface profile measuring equipment that has been verified by the Department according to PTM No. 428. In the presence of the Representative, calibrate the distance sensor and check the profile system calibration before each day’s testing.

Provide an operator that is Department certified according to PTM No. 428. The operator must carry their valid PennDOT certification card during pavement surface profiling.

Section 404.3(b) Testing. Revise to read as follows:

(b) Testing.

1. Lots. Provide the traffic control and station marking necessary to accommodate testing. Remove objects and equipment from the surface and sweep the surface as necessary to remove debris. For projects identified for verification as specified in Section 404.3(f), identify and delineate the profiling limits and excluded areas on the day of the verification. The Representative will verify the profiling limits are correct. Use traffic cones with reflective tape and reflective tape on the pavement at the beginning and end of each lane and excluded areas for triggering the start and stop locations of the profiler. In the presence of the Representative, determine the pavement surface profile for each lot according to PTM No. 428. At the completion of testing, immediately submit the lot IRI data and MRI values, according to PTM No. 428, to the Representative.

2. Excluded Areas. Provide the traffic control necessary to accommodate testing. Test the entire surface of each excluded area in stages using a 12-foot straightedge. At each stage, hold the straightedge in contact with the surface and parallel to the roadway centerline and, in successive positions, test the pavement surface profile from one side of the excluded area to the other. Advance the test location to the next stage by moving the straightedge along the roadway centerline not more than 6 feet.

Section 404.3(c)1. Lots. Revise to read as follows:

1. Lots. The Representative will compare the lot MRI to Table A in Section 404.4 to determine if the lot requires corrective action.

Additionally, perform corrective action on any individual bump (must grind) where the irregularity is more than 3/16 inch when tested with a 12-foot straightedge.

Section 404.3(d) Corrective Action. Revise to read as follows:

(d) Corrective Action. Do not produce a deviation, such as a ridge or valley with the adjacent pavement, of more than 1/8 inch when measured on the transverse profile. Correct a sufficient length of pavement to correct the pavement surface profile without producing additional high or low points. Retest the lots and excluded areas after completing corrective action. Perform additional measurements of the pavement surface profile, as necessary, for the Representative to determine which lots do not require additional corrective action. Correct surfaces to provide a uniform texture and positive cross slope so the pavement drains.

Perform all corrective action before testing for pavement depth. Use one or more of the following methods:

1. Carbide Grinding. Use carbide grinding for correcting areas 15 feet in length or less. Use grinders of the walk-behind type that have cutting heads of carbide tipped shackles, stars, or blades and have a locking depth control to produce a uniform pavement surface texture.
