IX. SCHEDULE OF VALUES

Where indicated, partial payment for lump sum design-build items will be made on Current Estimate Payments in accordance with Section 110.05 based on the amount of work completed during the estimate period based on a payout schedule (Schedule of Values). The Department will base amount of the partial payments on the total value of the work performed to the date of the estimate cut-off, less payments previously made, in accordance with the approved Schedule of Values.

Prepare a Schedule of Values for each lump sum Item associated with the design or construction of the Design Activities identified in Section IV of this Special Provision, where the Special Provision for that "Design" or "Construct" Item indicates lump sum measurement and payment by Schedule of Values, using the attached Schedule of Values template as a guide. Hereinafter, Design Items are defined as the Contract Item associated with the Design Activities identified in Section IV, and Construct Items are defined as the Contract Item associated with the construction of the Design Activities identified in Section IV. Distribution of payments among Schedule of Values Components must bear a reasonable resemblance to the actual value of work.

(a)For Design items, if a Component is not applicable, indicate 0%; otherwise do not indicate values less than 5% in any Component.

Include those Schedule of Values Components identified in the associated Design Item Special Provisions. Payment for Design Item Schedule of Values Components will be made in the amount of the approved percentage upon completion of the identified task.

When Schedule of Values Components are identified in the Special Provisions with “Approval” in the Schedule of Values Component title, 75% of the approved percentage may be paid on the next estimate following login of that submission, and the remaining 25% of the approved percentage will be paid following approval of that submission. Otherwise, no partial payment will be made for Design Item Components.

(b)For Construct Item, include Schedule of Values Components relevant to the scope of work of the particular item, using the attached Schedule of Values template as a general guide. No partial payment will be made for Construct Item Schedule of Values Components. Accordingly, develop the Schedule of Values to include Schedule of Values Components in sufficient numbers and detail to be payable upon semi-monthly estimates throughout the duration of the Contract.

Submit the Schedules of Values to the Department for review and approval. No estimate will be processed until all Schedules of Values are approved.

X. CONSTRUCTION CONTACT

The Department’s contact for Current Estimate Payments as defined in Section 110.05 will be the ACE/M for the given project.

The term produced in the United States defined as:

1. Iron or Steel Products. All manufacturing processes from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings occurred in the United States according to Section 106.10(a).

2. Manufactured Product. Final assembly of all manufactured products permanently incorporated into the project must be manufactured in the United States.

2.a A manufactured product, not predominantly steel or iron, is defined as an article, material, or supply that has been processed into a specific form and shape, or combined with other articles, materials, or supplies to create a product with different properties than the individual articles, materials, or supplies.

2.b Predominantly steel or iron is defined as greater than or equal to 50 percent of the total cost of the manufactured product.

2.c Manufactured products that are predominantly steel or iron must comply with Buy America provisions according to Section 106.10(a).

2.d If an article, material, or supply meets this definition but could also be classified as an excluded material or other product category, that article, material, or supply is not a manufactured product.

2.e Mixtures of excluded materials delivered to a work site without final form for incorporation into a project are also not manufactured products.

2.f Manufactured products where the final assembly did not occur in the United States may be used, provided the cumulative cost of such manufactured products is no more than the lesser of $1 million or 5% of total applicable costs for the project.

3. Construction Materials.

non-ferrous metals, plastic and polymer-based products including polyvinylchloride, composite building materials, and polymers used in fiber optic cables, glass including optic glass, lumber, or drywall

Items that consist of two or more of the listed materials that have been combined together through a manufacturing process, and items that include at least one of the listed materials combined with a material that is not listed through a manufacturing process, should be treated as manufactured products, rather than as construction materials.

3.c Limitation with Respect to Aggregates. Shall not include cement and cementitious materials, aggregates such as stone, sand, or gravel, or aggregate binding agents or additives.
