PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. The intent of this section is to explain, in general; what is and what is not included in a bid item; the limits or cut-off points where one bid item ends and another begins; and method of measurements and basis of payment for work items listed in the Bid Item Schedule.

B. Work:

1. Furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, and other incidentals necessary to successfully complete the project or any portion of it, and carrying out all duties and obligations imposed by the contract on the Contractor.

2. For each individual item listed here and in the Schedule of Items, payment shall be full compensation for all work related to the particular item in accordance with these specifications, as shown on the drawings, and as staked in the field.

3. Measurement and payment for contract work shall be made only for and under those pay items included in the Schedule of Items. All other work and materials shall be considered incidental or as included in the payment for items shown.

1.2 DETERMINATION OF QUANTITIES

A. The contractor shall perform, or cause to be performed, all measurement of quantities of materials incorporated into the work processes that are to be measured under the provisions of the contract.

B. Quantity Measurements:

1. The Contractor shall make all measurements for computation of quantities for all work items except those specified for payment by Lump Sum Quantity

(LSQ).

2. The contractor shall compute the quantities for periodic progress payments; the Contracting Officer shall compute the quantities for the final payment based on measurements taken by the Contractor.

3. All Contractor measurements are subject to verification.

4. The Contractor shall submit all field notes, calculation sheets, and other data used to determine quantities.

5. The Contractor shall certify in writing as to the accuracy of the measurements and computations submitted.

05/2011 010250 - 2 Definition of Bid Items & Measurement and Payment

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

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

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

1.3 UNITS OF MEASUREMENT

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

2. Material in Place or Stockpile. The measurement computed using the dimensions of the in-place material.

3. 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.

C. Each: One complete unit, which may consist of one or more parts.

D. Linear Foot: Linear feet measured horizontally.

E. 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.

F. Where tolerances are shown in the contract, they are intended to define reasonably close conformity. 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 roadway sections and to balance earthwork.

SECTION 017329

CUTTING AND PATCHING

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 GENERAL

A. This Section includes procedural requirements for cutting and patching.

B. Requirements in this Section apply to electrical installations. See Division 03 Sections for other requirements and limitations applicable to cutting and patching mechanical and electrical installations.

1.2 SUBMITTALS

A. Cutting and Patching Proposal: Submit a proposal describing procedures at least 10 days before the time cutting and patching will be performed, requesting approval to proceed. Include the following information:

1. Extent: Describe cutting and patching, show how they will be performed.

2. Products: List products to be used and firms or entities that will perform the

Work.

3. Dates: Indicate when cutting and patching will be performed.

4. Utilities: List utilities that cutting and patching procedures will disturb or affect.

List utilities that will be relocated and those that will be temporarily out of ser-vice. Indicate how long service will be disrupted.

5. Contracting Officer’s (CO) Approval: Obtain approval of cutting and patching proposal before cutting and patching. Approval does not waive right to later re-quire removal and replacement of unsatisfactory work.

PART 2 – PRODUCTS

2.1 MATERIALS

A. General: Comply with requirements specified in other Sections of these Specifica-tions.

B. Existing Materials: Use materials identical to existing materials. For exposed surfac-es, use materials that visually match existing adjacent surfaces to the fullest extent possible.

1. If identical materials are unavailable or cannot be used, use materials that, when installed, will match the visual and functional performance of existing materials.

PART 3 – EXECUTION

05/2011 017329 - 2 Cutting and Patching

3.1 EXAMINATION

A. Examine surfaces to be cut and patched and conditions under which cutting and patch-ing are to be performed.

1. Compatibility: Before patching, verify compatibility with and suitability of sub-strates, including compatibility with existing finishes or primers.

2. Proceed with installation only after unsafe or unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

3.2 PREPARATION

A. Protection: Protect existing construction during cutting and patching to prevent dam-age. Provide protection from adverse weather conditions for portions of Project that might be exposed during cutting and patching operations.

B. Adjoining Areas: Avoid interference with use of adjoining areas or interruption of free passage to adjoining areas.

3.3 PERFORMANCE

A. General: Employ skilled workers to perform cutting and patching. Proceed with cut-ting and patching at the earliest feasible time, and complete without delay.

1. Cut existing construction to provide for installation of other components or per-formance of other construction, and subsequently patch as required to restore surfaces to their original condition.

B. Cutting: Cut existing construction by sawing, drilling, breaking, chipping, grinding, and similar operations, including excavation, using methods least likely to damage elements retained or adjoining construction. If possible, review proposed procedures with original Installer; comply with original Installer's written recommendations.

1. In general, use hand or small power tools designed for sawing and grinding, not hammering and chopping. Cut holes and slots as small as possible, neatly to size required, and with minimum disturbance of adjacent surfaces. Temporarily cover openings when not in use.

2. Proceed with patching after construction operations requiring cutting are com-plete.

C. Patching: Patch construction by filling, repairing, refinishing, closing up, and similar operations following performance of other Work. Patch with durable seams that are as invisible as possible. Provide materials and comply with installation requirements specified in other Sections of these Specifications.

1. Inspection: Where feasible, test and inspect patched areas after completion to demonstrate integrity of installation.

05/2011 017329 - 3 Cutting and Patching

2. Exposed Finishes: Restore exposed finishes of patched areas and extend finish restoration into retained adjoining construction in a manner that will eliminate evidence of patching and refinishing.
