SECTION 3: MATERIAL ORDERING, DELIVERY, AND

ACCEPTANCE

The Contractor will ship contract materials only when and as authorized by email, facsimile, telephone, or by letter from the Department. The Department will authorize agents from its Region and Area Offices to place material orders with the Contractor.

The Department’s agent will provide the Contractor’s agent with the following information when placing an order:

(1) Agent’s name and identification with the Department.

(2) Material type and quantity.

(3) Time, date, and location of delivery.

(4) Truck transport pump requirements.

(5) Name and telephone number of an individual to contact in case of a delivery problem.

(6) Billing address for invoice and other support documentation.

The time and date of delivery become binding for the assessment of liquidated damages when the Contractor accepts the order.

The Department may order different viscosity and penetration grades under the same specification description or grade, without incurring liability for increased cost (for example MC- 250, in place of MC-70).

If the Contractor is unable to furnish the material within a reasonable time, and in the quantity and quality stipulated in the contract, the Contractor will obtain the material from another supplier at no additional cost to the Department. If the Contractor does not furnish the material as stated above, the Department may then, at its option, cancel the unexpired portion of that contract or purchase from such other company or companies such amounts of material as the Contractor did not furnish, in which case all costs and expenses in excess of the amount which would be due the Contractor for furnishing these materials will be charged to and paid for by the Contractor. Any such costs may at the option of the Department be paid by the Department and deducted from the amount then due the Contractor. The Contractor or the Contractor’s surety will promptly pay any remaining costs and expenses. The parties agree that reasonable delivery time is within 24 hours from receipt of order on truck shipments of liquid asphalt, and 14 calendar days from date of order on delivery of crack sealant and joint sealers. The Department will assess liquidated damages in the amount of $250/day for each calendar day delivery time is exceeded.

The Contractor will deliver liquid asphalt, asphalt binders, asphalt emulsions, and petroleum resin-oil base emulsions in truck transport loads not to exceed 55,000 pounds net weight unless larger loads are specified. The Contractor must advise the Department at the time an order is

-10-placed if the Department’s order does not meet the Contractor’s shipping minimum. The Contractor must further advise the Department what the Contractor’s minimum order is, what additional charges will be invoked, and receive confirmation from the Department that the charges are acceptable, before accepting the order. The Contractor will provide a truck transport with a pump to unload the material when requested by the Department, at an additional charge of $120 Liquidated damages may be assessed against the Contractor where the late delivery of a material results in a project delay or project rescheduling. For a late delivery resulting in a project delay, the Contractor may be assessed for the Department’s cost of lost personnel productivity time, including wage additives. For a late delivery resulting in project rescheduling, the Contractor may be assessed for the Department’s cost of lost personnel productivity time, including wage additives, and the equipment costs incurred by the Department due to the rescheduling.

Liquid asphalt and asphalt binder delivered by truck transport will be delivered hot. Asphalt binder will have a minimum delivery temperature 10°F higher than the minimum mix temperature as determined from the Contractor supplied viscosity chart or the graphing application of the Contractor supplied temperatures at which the material has a kinematic viscosity of 150 and 300 centistokes. The minimum delivery temperature for the various grades of liquid asphalt will meet the following requirements:

Grade Temperature - °F.

70 120 250 140 800 180

3000 210

The Contractor will provide the following documentation to the Department at the time of delivery:

(1) Stamped Weight Slips from which the weight of the delivered material is determined.

(2) Certificate of Compliance: The certificate may be furnished separately or included in the Bill of Lading.

(3) Bill of Lading.

(4) For a liquid asphalt or asphalt binder:

a. A viscosity chart or the temperatures at which the material has a kinematic viscosity of 50, 150, 200, and 300 centistokes to enable the determination of the material’s mixing or spraying temperature.

b. Specific Gravity.

The Department will accept delivery of the material if all of the following conditions are met:

(1) The material was ordered by the Department.

-11-

(2) The material is the type and quantity ordered.

(3) The material meets the required delivery temperature.

(4) All of the above-listed delivery documentation is supplied.

(5) The delivery time does not require rescheduling of the project.

Material is considered delivered and a delivery time is established when the Department accepts delivery of the material. A delivery is considered late if the delivery time is later than the delivery time established when the material was ordered. Failure of the Contractor to get delivery acceptance may result in liquidated damages being assessed against the Contractor due to late delivery as previously defined in this section.

In every case, the Department will be allowed a minimum of 2 hours after the established delivery time in which to unload the delivered material without incurring any additional fees, charges, or demurrage. Any unloading time in excess of two hours will be measured and paid in half hour increments at a rate of $180/hr.

Although the Department may accept the material on the basis of a Certificate of Compliance (as defined in RSTC Section 6.3 of the Department’s Materials Manual), the Department reserves the right to sample, test, and make final acceptance of material after delivery to the project. The material represented by the sample may be rejected for use if the laboratory tests on the sample do not satisfactorily meet the requirements of the applicable specifications. If material found to be out-of-specification has been used, the Department will determine a price adjustment according to the degree and nature of non-conformance.

Sampling of liquid asphalt, asphalt binder, emulsified and petroleum-oil base emulsion will be in accordance with South Dakota Test 301, Method of Sampling Asphalt Materials. Trucks transporting liquid asphalt, asphalt binder, asphalt emulsion, or petroleum resin-oil base emulsion will be equipped with a bulkhead-sampling valve or provide a means to obtain an in-line sample.

SECTION 4: METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND BASIS OF

PAYMENT

Liquid asphalt, asphalt binder, emulsified asphalt, and petroleum-oil base emulsion will be measured by the ton (consisting of 2000 pounds avoirdupois) to the nearest one-hundredth (0.01) ton, furnished and accepted. Crumb Rubber/Asphalt Crack Sealant and Hot-Poured Elastic Joint Sealer will be measured by the pound to the nearest one-tenth (0.1) pound, furnished and accepted. Asphalt and concrete repair mastic will be paid to the supplier by unit price per pound and shall be full compensation for all labor, equipment, materials, surface conditioner, or primer, and incidentals required to receive the repair mastic FOB at SDDOT provided in Table 3.
