1.1 DESCRIPTION

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 to be performed 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. 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.

C. 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.

D. 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. An 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 footage 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.

E. 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.

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