1.03 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT:

A. Measurement and payment for contract work will be made only for 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 items number to differentiate between the items.

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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Structures will be measured according to neat lines

SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS or as altered by the

Engineer in writing to fit field conditions.

4. 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.

5. For aggregate weighed for payment, the tonnage will not be adjusted for moisture content, unless otherwise provided in

SPECIFICATIONS.

6. For bituminous material, volumes will be measured at 60 degree F. or will be corrected to the volume at 60 degree F.

by using ASTM D 1250 for asphalts. Emulsified asphalt will be measured at 60 degrees F. or measured by converting the gallonage at another temperature to gallonage at 60 degrees F. be means of the following formula:

Gallons at 60 degrees F. = Gallons at A degrees F.

1 - 0.00025 (A degrees F.-60 degrees F.)

In which A degrees F. is the Fahrenheit temperature of the material at the time the gallonage is measured.

7. 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.

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

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

D. 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.

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. Cubic Yard Mile: A combination of linear and volumetric measurement meaning the movement of a cubic yard of material one mile.

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

4. MFBM: One thousand feet board measure based on nominal widths, thicknesses, and extreme usable length of each piece of lumber or timber actually incorporated in the job.

5. Station: One hundred linear feet measured horizontally.

6. Station Yard: A combination of linear and volumetric measurement meaning the movement of a cubic yard of material one station.

7. Thousand Gallons Mile: A combination of linear and volumetric measurement meaning the movement of 1,000 gallons of material one mine.

8. Ton: Short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds.

9. Ton Mile: A combination of linear and weight measurement meaning the movement of one tone of material one mile.

E. 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 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. Staked Quantities (SQ): These quantities are determined from staked measurements prior to construction.

3. Actual Quantities (AQ): These quantities are determined from measurements of completed work.

4. Vehicles Quantities (VQ): These quantities are measured or weighed in hauling vehicles.

5. 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.

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

If bituminous material fails one or more test requirements, and the

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. Samples 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

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 samples differ by more than the applicable

AASHTO or ASTM Repeatability Unit; then, the test result numerically nearest the specification requirement 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 shall not apply to the following tests:

Spot Test T 102

Particle Charge T 59

Ductility T 51

Bituminous materials failing to meet specifications for these tests shall be removed and replaced.

G. 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 section and to balance earthwork. Such adjustments shall not be considered as "Changes".
