Section 106 -Measurement & Payment

106.01 Measurement and payment for contract work will be made only for and Measurement & under those pay items included in the SCHEDULE OF ITEMS. All other Payment work and materials will be considered as included in the payment for items shown.

When more than one class, size, or thickness is specified in the SCHEDULE OF ITEMS for any pay item, suffixes will be added to the item number to differentiate between the items.

106.02 The following measurements and calculations are used to determine Determination of contract quantities.

Quantities

For individual construction items, longitudinal and lateral measurements for area computations will be made horizontally or corrected to horizontal measurement unless otherwise specified.

Measurements for seeding, mulching, geotextiles, netting, erosion control blankets, and sodding will be along slope lines.

The average end area method will be used to compute volumes of excavation or embankment. However, if in the judgment of the Engineer, the average end area method is impractical, measurement will be made by volume in hauling vehicles or by other three dimensional methods.

Structures will be measured according to neat lines SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS or as altered by the Engineer in writing to fit field conditions.

.\ For items that are measured by the ]inear foot, such as pipe culverts, fencing, guardrail, and underdrains, measurements will be made parallel to the base or foundation upon which the structures are placed. Pipe and pipe arch culverts shall be measured a]ong center of invert and arches shall be measured at

: spring line.

For aggregates weighed for payment, the tonnage will not be adjusted for moisture content, unless otherwise provided in SPECIAL

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS.

For bituminous material, vo]umes will be measured at 60 of or wjll be corrected to the volume at 60 of by using ASTM D 1250 for asphalts. Emulsjfied asphalt will be measured at 60 of or measured by converting the gallonage at another temperature to gallonage at 60 of by means of the following formula:

Gallons at 60 of = Gallons at A of 1 + 0.00025 (A of -60 'F) in which A of is the Fahrenheit temperature of the material at the time the gallonage is measured.

For vehicular shipments, net certified scale weights or weights based on certified volumes will be used as a basis of

: measurement. Measurements will be adjusted when bituminous ': material has been lost from the vehicle or from the distributor, has been wasted, or has otherwise not been incorporated into the work. Determining true weights of hauling vehicles shall be made by weighing the empty vehicles at least once a day at the times the Engineer directs. Each vehicle shall bear a plainly legible identification mark.

When bituminous materia]s are shipped, net certified weights, or volume corrected for loss of foaming, can be used for computing quantities.

For standard manufactured items--such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduits--identified by gauge, weight, section

EM 7720-100LL, page 17 dimensions. and so forth, such identifications shall be considered the nominal weights or dimensions. Unless controlled by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturer's tolerances will be accepted. ')

"106.03 Payment will be by units defined and determined according to U.S. ' Units of Measurement Standard measure and by the following:

(a) ~ubic Yar~. A measurement computed by one of the following methods:

(1) Excavation, Embankment, or Borrow. The measurement computed by the average end area method from measurements made longitudinally along a centerline or reference line.

II""

"~:r;\,,: (2) M~terial i~ Pla,;e or Stockp~le. The measl;lrement ;7~i'r:~~ computed uslng the dlmenslons of the In-place materlal.

(3) Material in the Del:ivery Vehicle. The measurement computed using measurements of material in the hauling vehicles at the point of delivery. Vehicles shall be loaded to at least their water level capacity. Leveling of the loads may be required when vehicles arrive at the delivery point.

(b) Cubic Yard Mile. A combination of linear and volumetric : measurement meaning the movement of a cubic yard of material

1 mi Ie.

(c) Each. One complete unit, which may consist of one or more parts:--

(d) MFBM. One thousand feet board measure based on nominal width~hicknesses, and extreme usable length of each piece of lumber or timber actually incorporated in the job.

, (e) Station. One hundred linear feet measured horizontally. "., :J(f) Station Yard. A combination of linear and volmetric -" measurement meaning the movement of a cubic yard of material one station.

(g) Thousand GaJlons Mile. A combination of linear and volumetric measurement meaning the movement of 1,000 gallons of material 1 mile.

(h) ~. Short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds.

(i) Ton Mile. A combination of linear and weight measurement meani ng the movement of ], ton of material 1 mi Ie.

106.04 One of the following methods of measurement for determining final Methods of payment is DESIGNATED on the SCHEDULE OF ITEMS for each pay item:

., Measurement

(a) Designed Quantities JJ5il. These quantities denote the final number or units to be paid for under the terms of the contract.

They are based upon the origin~l design data available prior to

, advertising the project. Original design data include the

\~~~~~;:;" preliminary survey information, design assumptions, calculations," .,..~,.: drawings, and the presentation in the contract. Changes in the

,-'.- number of units SHOWN in the SCHEDULE OF ITEMS may be authorized ., under any of the following conditions;

(1) As a result of changes in the work authorized by the Contracting Officer.

(2) As a result of the Contracting Officer determining that errors exist in the original design that cause a pay item quantity to change by 15 percent or more.

EM 7720-l00LL, page 18

(3) As a result of the contractor submitting to the Contracting Officer a written request showing evidence of errors in the original design that Gause a pay item quantity to change by 15 percent or more. The evidence must be verifiable and consist of calculations, drawings, or other data that show how the designed quantity is beiieved to be in error.

(b) Staked Quantities (SQ). These quantities are determined from staked measurements prIor to constructIon.

(c) Actual Quantities (AQ). These quantities are determined from : measurements of completed~ork.

(d) Vehicle Quantities (VQ). These quantities are measured or weighed in hauling vehicles:

(e) ~g~P--~~~ ~~a~!i~i~~(LSQ!. These quantities denote one complete unIt of work as requIred by or described in the contract, including necessary materials, equipment, and labor to complete the job. They will not be measured.

106.05 Bituminous materials are defined as all types and grades of asphalt Price Adjustment cement, liquid asphalt, emulsified asphalt, and dust oil.

for Out-of- Specification If bituminous materia] fails one or more test requirements, and the Bituminous Materials Contracting Officer determines it is in the public interest to accept the material at a reduced price, the price reduction shall : be based on the test results giving the largest percent price adjustment. The contractor may remove and replace the defective : material or accept the adjustment.

The price reduction shall apply to all pay items affected.

Price adjustment will be based on samples taken in duplicate in accordance with AASHTO T 40 under the supervision of the Engineer.

Sallples shall be sent to an authorized laboratory. The laboratory shall test one of each duplicate sample and retain the other.

; When any test result is not. within the specification limits, the, laboratory shall immediately notify the supplier and the i Engineer. The Engineer will then authorize check testing of the , retained sample.

, If the retained sample tests satisfactorily, the material will be accepted. If the retained sample also fails, the following schedule of price adjustments shall apply. The average of test values for the two samples will determine the basis for price adjustment, except when test results on the samp]es differ by more than the applicable AASHTO or ASTM Repeatability Unit: then, the test result numerically nearest the specification requirellent will be used. (A repeatability unit is defined as D2S or D2S% limit for single operator precision described in ASTM recommended practice C 670.)

The schedule of price adjustments snaIl not apply to the following tests:
