MEASUREMENT & PAYMENT

PART 1 – GENERAL

1.01 MEASUREMENT & PAYMENT

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

B. 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.

1.02 DETERMINATION OF QUANTITIES

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

A. 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.

B. 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.

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

D. For items that are measured by the linear 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 along center of invert and arches shall be measured at spring line.

E. For aggregates weighed for payment, the tonnage will not be adjusted for moisture content.

F. 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.

G. For standard manufactured items--such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduits--identified by gauge, weight, section dimensions, and so forth, such identifications shall be

01025-2 considered the nominal weights or dimensions. Unless controlled by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturer's tolerances will be accepted.

1.03 UNITS OF MEASUREMENT

A. Payment will be by units defined and determined according to U.S. Standard measure and by the following:

1. Cubic Yard. A measurement computed by one of the following methods:

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

b. Material in Place or Stockpile. The measurement computed using the dimensions of the in-place material as compacted according to requirements.

c. Material in the Delivery 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.

2. Each. One complete unit, which may consist of one or more parts. The quantity is actual number of units completed and accepted,

3. Lump Sum. Do not measure directly. The bid amount is complete payment for all work described in the contract and necessary to complete the work for that item.

4. Station. One hundred linear feet measured horizontally.

5. Ton. Short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds.

1.04 METHODS OF MEASUREMENT

A. One of the following methods of measurement for determining final payment is

DESIGNATED on the SCHEDULE OF ITEMS for each pay item:

1. Designed Quantities (DQ). These quantities denote the final number or units to be paid for under the terms of the contract. They are based upon the original 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:

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

b. 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.

c. As a result of the contractor submitting to the Contracting Officer a written request showing evidence of errors in the original design that cause a pay item

01025-3 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 believed to be in error.

2. Actual Quantities (AQ). These quantities are determined from measurements of completed work. The contractor shall be responsible for measuring all "AQ" items.

3. Lump Sum Quantities (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.

4. Vehicle Quantities (VQ). These quantities are measured or weighed in hauling vehicle.

1.06 EARTHWORK TOLERANCES

A. Where tolerances are shown in the contract, they are intended to define “reasonably close conformity”. Make adjustments of horizontal or vertical alignment within the tolerances specified in this contract, or shifts of balance points up to 100 feet, as necessary to produce the designed roadway section and to balance earthwork. Such adjustments will not be considered “changes”.
