SECTION 00301-Definition of Bid Items

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. The basis for measurement and payment for all work performed under this contract shall be as listed in the “Bid Form.” Unless the work is specifically called out to be measured and paid for in the Bid Form, payment for such work shall be included in other applicable items of the Bid Form. There shall be no separate measurement and payment for any such work not specifically listed in the Bid Form.

B. The Contractor shall complete unit and total pricing for ALL items. If “optional” items are presented the “optional” item work shall be bid as mutually exclusive (stand alone) items. The Contracting Officer and the government reserves the right to award individual optional items, as funding becomes available.

C. The application of any pay item to more than one site will be marked by prefixes to differentiate between them on the Bid Form.

D. When more than one class, size, type, thickness, etc. is specified in the Bid Form for any pay item, suffixes will be added to the item number to differentiate between the pay items.

E. This item is intended to compensate the Contractor for operations including, but not limited to, those necessary for the movement of personnel, equipment, supplies, and incidentals to the project site; for payment of premiums for bonds and insurance for the project; and for any other work and operations which must be performed or costs that must be incurred incident to the initiation of meaningful work at the site and for which payment is not otherwise provided for under the contract.

F. Items listed in the Bid Form as lump sum shall be on a lump sum all required basis. No direct measurement will be made for lump sum bid items. Bid items calling for unit prices show estimated quantities of work to be performed. These quantities, although shown with as much accuracy as possible, are approximate only and are for bidding purposes only. Payment to the contractor shall be made on the quantity of work actually performed by the Contractor.

G. The summation of all bid items under the Bid Form shall equal all work required by the drawings and Specifications regardless of whether individual items of work are described under bid item descriptions or not. Payment shall be made at the contract unit bid or lump sum prices listed in the Bid. The prices listed therein shall be payment in full for all labor, tools, equipment, materials, etc., which are required to construct respective bid items according to the Contract Documents, including all work and materials incidental thereto.

H. Payment for unit bid items and lump sum bid items only partially completed at the end of monthly pay periods shall be based on a percentage of work completed as determined by the Government. As example is the construction of pipelines where the unit bid price includes the excavation and backfill of the trenches, installation of pipe, trench compaction, flushing and testing, although the Contractor may have installed a certain length of pipeline, yet has not completed the testing and/or restoration work. The actual payment for that bid item will be reduced to reflect the actual amount of work completed.

I. Capping and abandoning of existing water lines and demolition of water fixtures not specifically called out in a pay item but shown on the drawings is incidental to the work and no separate pay item will be included for this work.

J. Providing valve keys shall be incidental to the work. Provide, at a minimum, two valve keys for each type/size of valve nut.

K. For pipelines, the following method will be used to determine partial payment for work not complete unless determined otherwise by the Government:

Description of Work Excavation, Backfill and Compaction

Percentage of Lineal Feet Installed

Of Trench, and Installation of Pipe 75%

Flushing, Pressure and Leakage Testing And Disinfection of Pipeline when Required

15%

Surface Restoration Other than that Covered by other Bid Items

10%

Total 100%

For valves, meters, and other similar work items, the following method will be used to determine partial payment for work not complete:

Description of Work Installation of Work Item

Percentage of Each Installed 75%

Installation of Work Item to Finished Grade and Final Restoration

25%

Total 100%

1.2 DETERMINATION OF QUANTITIES

A. The following measurements and calculations shall be used to determine contract quantities for payment.

1. For individual construction items, longitudinal and lateral measurements for area computations shall be made horizontally or corrected to horizontal measurement unless otherwise specified. Measurements for geotextiles, netting and erosion control blankets shall be along slope lines.

2. For excavation or embankment volumes, the average end area method shall be used to compute volumes. However, if in the judgment of the Contracting Officer (CO), the average end area method is impractical, measurement shall be made by three-dimensional methods.

3. For Structures, they shall be measured according to neat lines shown on the drawings or as altered by the CO, in writing, to fit field conditions.

4. For items that are measured by the linear foot, such as pipe, utilities, and underdrains, measurements shall be made parallel to the base or foundation upon which the structures are placed.

5. For standard manufactured items (such as wire, pipe) identified by gauge, weight, section dimensions, and so forth, such identifications shall be considered the nominal weights or dimensions. Unless controlled by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturer's tolerances shall be accepted.

B. Earthwork Tolerances - Adjustments of horizontal or vertical alignment, within the tolerances specified in this contract, or shifts of balance points up to 100 feet shall be made by the contractor as necessary to produce the designed sections and to balance earthwork. Such adjustments shall not be considered as "Changes."
