With such notice the Engineer will specify which routes will be deleted according to the Department’s predetermined listing of priorities.

If after routes are deleted and work proceeds, budgets revisions indicate that the cost of work to be completed by the Contractor will fall below the limits of the budgeted funds, the Department will determine which of the previously deleted routes will be returned to the Schedule to be completed at the contract unit price.

INFORMAL PARTNERING

I. DECLARATION AND DESCRIPTION

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is firmly committed to the formation of a partnering relationship with the Contractor, all subcontractors, suppliers, FHWA representatives;

where appropriate, other federal agencies, local government officials, utilities representatives, law enforcement and public safety officials, consultants, and other stakeholders to effectively and efficiently manage and complete each construction or maintenance contract to the mutual and individual benefits and goals of all parties. Partnering is an approach to fulfilling this commitment where all parties to the contract, as well as individuals and entities associated with or otherwise affected by the contract, willingly agree to dedicate themselves by working together as a team to fulfill and complete the construction or maintenance contract in cost effective ways while preserving the highest standards of safety and quality called for by the Contract combined with the goals of on time/on budget completion. The approach must still allow for the fact that the members of the team share many common interests yet have differing authorities, interests, and objectives that must be accommodated for the project to be viewed as successful by all parties. It is recognized by VDOT that partnering is a relationship in which:

● Trust and open communications are encouraged and expected by all participants

● All parties move quickly to address and resolve issues at the lowest possible level by approaching problems from the perspectives and needs of all involved

● All parties have identified common goals and at the same time respect each other’s individual goals and values

● Partners create an atmosphere conducive to cooperation and teamwork in finding better solutions to potential problems and issues at hand

II. INFORMAL PARTNERING STRUCTURE

It is the business intent of the Department that informal partnering will be required on this project, whereby the spirit and principles of partnering are practiced from onsite field personnel to executive level owners and employees. The VDOT Field Guide to Partnering available on the VDOT website http://www.virginiadot.org/business/resources/partnerfinalallowres.pdf will be the standard reference guide utilized to structure and guide partnering efforts. This guide will be systematically evaluated to incorporate better practices as our partnering efforts evolve. Of particular note is the need for effective and responsive communication between parties to the partnering relationship as emphasized in Section 105.03(d) of the Specifications.

Informal partnering need not require the services of a professional facilitator and may be conducted by the actual partnering participants themselves. Informal partnering, and more specifically the Partnering Charter, will not change the legal relationship of the parties to the Contract nor relieve either party from any of the terms of the Contract.

http://www.virginiadot.org/business/resources/partnerfinalallowres.pdf

III. PROCEDURES

The following are general procedures for informal partnering and are not to be considered as inclusive or representative of procedural requirements for all projects. Participants shall consult the VDOT Field Guide for Partnering for assistance in developing specific guidelines to those efforts required for their individual projects.

Prior To Project Construction: At least 5 days prior to or in connection with the preconstruction conference the Contractor shall attend a conference with the Engineer at which time he and the Engineer shall discuss the extent of the informal partnering efforts required for the project, how these have been accommodated in the Contractor’s bid and the identity of expectations and stakeholders associated with the project. Informal partnering efforts require the Department and the Contractor to mutually choose a single person from among their collective staffs, or a trained facilitator to be responsible for leading all parties through the VDOT Field Guide to Partnering and any subsequent partnering efforts.

Partnering Meetings During Project Construction: In informal partnering efforts the Contractor shall provide a location for regularly scheduled partnering meetings during the construction period.

Such meetings will be scheduled as deemed necessary by either party. The Contractor and VDOT will require the attendance of their key decision makers, including subcontractors and suppliers.

Both the Contractor and VDOT shall also encourage the attendance of affected utilities, concerned businesses, local government and civic leaders or officials, residents, and consultants, which may vary at different times during the life of the Contract. The Department and the Contractor are to agree upon partnering invitees in advance of each meeting. Follow-up partnering workshops may be held throughout the duration of the project as deemed necessary by the Contractor and the Engineer.

IV. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

Informal Partnering, because the extent to which certain partnering activities are pursed is at the Contractor’s option, and may vary according to project complexity, work history between the parties, project duration, the Contractor’s own unique methods, means, and schedule to execute and complete the work, etc.; will not be paid for as a separate bid item but all the costs associated with informal partnering efforts for the duration of the work shall be considered inclusive and incidental to the cost of other appropriate items.

ASPHALT MATERIAL PRICE ADJUSTMENT

July 8, 2024

All asphalt material contained in the master listing on the Construction Division website of eligible bid items and designated as pay items in the Contract or added as pay items by Change Order will be price adjusted according to the provisions as set forth herein. Other items will not be price adjusted, except as otherwise specified in the Contract.

Each month, the Department will publish an average statewide price per ton for PG 64S-22 f.o.b., and an average statewide price per ton for PG 64E-22 f.o.b., developed from the average terminal prices provided to the Department from suppliers of asphalt cement to contractors doing work in Virginia. The Department will collect terminal prices from approximately 12 terminals each month. These prices will be received once each month from suppliers on or about the last weekday of the month. The high and low prices will be eliminated, and the remaining values averaged to establish the average statewide prices for the following month.

The monthly average statewide prices will be posted on the Construction Division website on or about the first weekday of the month. The posted monthly average statewide prices will be the (a) Base Index for all contracts on which bids are received during the calendar month of the Department’s posting on the Construction Division website, and (b) Current Index for all eligible asphalt materials placed during the calendar month of the Department’s posting under an executed contract.

The amount of adjustment applied will be based on the difference between the Contract’s Base Index and the Current Index for the calendar month during which the work is performed. The quantity of asphalt cement for asphalt concrete pavement to which adjustment will be applied will be the quantity based on the percent of asphalt cement shown on the appropriate approved job mix formula.

The Base Index for application of Asphalt Adjustments will be determined in accordance with the following:

(a) When the actual quantities of asphalt material pay item(s) change, alter, or vary from the estimated quantities with no adjustment to the Contract bid price of those pay items, then the Base Index shall be the monthly average statewide prices posted at the time of the letting.

(b) When the Department issues a Change Order that changes or alters the quantity of asphalt material pay item(s) with a commensurate adjustment to the Contract price(s) for the pay item(s), then the Base Index for the altered quantity and altered price(s) shall be the monthly average statewide price(s) posted for the calendar month in which the altered quantity and altered price are established in the Contract (the Change Order approval date).

(c) When the Department issues a Change Order to add new asphalt material pay item(s) eligible for price adjustment to a Contract, the Base Index for the added pay item(s) shall be the monthly average statewide price(s) posted for the calendar month the pay item(s) is (are) established in the Contract (the Change Order approval date).

https://www.vdot.virginia.gov/media/vdotvirginiagov/doing-business/technical-guidance-and-support/construction/adjustment-indices/AspPriceAdjPayItems_acc07122023_PM.pdf

In the event the monthly average statewide prices were to change by 10 percent or more of the Base Index during the middle of the month, the Contractor can submit a letter to the Department and supplier that provides evidence of the difference in price. Upon receipt of the letter, consideration will be given to extend additional adjustments as deemed necessary. In the event either Index changes radically from the apparent trend, as determined by the Engineer, the Department may establish an Index which it determines to best reflect the trend.

Adjustment of any asphalt material other than PG 64S-22 and PG 64E-22 will be based on the Indexes for

PG 64S-22.

The quantity of asphalt emulsions to which adjustment will be applied will be the quantity based on 65 percent residual asphalt.

Price adjustment will be shown as a separate entry on the monthly progress estimate; however, such adjustment will not be included in the total cost of the work for progress determination or for extension of Contract time. Price adjustment will be calculated using the same units as the corresponding pay items in the Contract.

Any apparent attempt to unbalance bids in favor of items subject to price adjustment or failure to submit required cost and price data as noted hereinbefore may result in rejection of the bid proposal.

SP109-000110-00

OPTIONAL ADJUSTMENT FOR FUEL

July 1, 2015; Reissued July 12, 2016

The Department will adjust monthly progress payments up or down as appropriate for cost changes in fuel used on specific items of work identified in this provision. The Department will provide a master listing of standard bid items eligible for fuel adjustment on its website.

Included with this proposal is a listing of standard bid items the Department has identified as eligible for fuel adjustment on this project(s) as well as the respective fuel factors per pay unit for those items. Only items on this listing will be eligible for adjustment. The fuel usage factor for each item is considered inclusive of all fuel usage. Generally, non-standard pay items are not eligible for fuel adjustment.

The listing of eligible items applicable to this particular project is shown on Form C-21B “Bid Items Eligible for Fuel Adjustment” included with the bidding documents. The Bidder may choose to have fuel adjustment applied to any or all eligible items on this project’s listing by designating the items for which the fuel adjustment will apply. The Bidder’s selection of items for fuel adjustment may not be changed once he has submitted Form C-21B to the Department.

In order to be eligible for fuel adjustment under this provision, the apparent…
