20SP-109A-01

PROMPT PAYMENT

CFS:JJG 1 of 4 APPR:LFS:DBP:03-27-20

FHWA:APPR:03-30-20

Add the following subsection to section 109, of the Standard Specifications for Construction:

109.08 Prompt Payment.

A. Definitions.

Lower-tier subcontract. An agreement between a subcontractor of any tier and any individual or legal entity to perform a part of the subcontract work.

Lower-tier subcontractor. The individual or legal entity that performs part of the subcontract work through a lower-tier subcontract with a subcontractor.

Supplier. The individual or legal entity that agrees to provide materials or services to the prime Contractor, a subcontractor, or a lower-tier subcontractor for the performance of their contract work.

Sworn Statement. A written verification under oath reflecting all persons or entities, which have furnished labor, equipment, services or materials to a subcontractor or lower-tier subcontractor for performance of work on the project. The written verification includes union fringe benefit funds, original contract amount, current amount due, amounts paid to date and balance to finish the work for each person or entity.

Waiver of Lien. A written release and waiver of any claim or right to payment for payments actually received for labor, equipment, services or materials furnished for performance of work on the project.

The sworn statement and waiver of lien documents are used by the prime Contractor and its subcontractors for verifying payments made to lower-tier subcontractors/suppliers and are not to be submitted to the Engineer unless requested as an aid in determining an alleged prompt payment violation. These documents can be found at the following website.

https://mdotjboss.state.mi.us/webforms/WebFormsHome.htm

B. Progress Payments. For the first payment, or for a one time payment, the prime Contractor agrees to pay each subcontractor for the work associated with their subcontract no later than 10 calendar days from the date the prime Contractor receives payment from the Department.

For the second and subsequent payments, the prime Contractor agrees to pay each https://mdotjboss.state.mi.us/webforms/WebFormsHome.htm

CFS:JJG 2 of 4 03-27-20 subcontractor for the work associated with their subcontract no later than 10 calendar days from the date the prime Contractor receives payment from the Department.

The Contractor is required to provide payment information for previous payments made to all first tier subcontractors and all DBE companies (sub-subcontractors, suppliers, truckers, etc.)

at any tier before the Engineer will release the third and subsequent estimates. For all subsequent progress pay estimates if 1) the Engineer payment does not include any first tier subcontractors or any DBE company payments at any tier, and 2) the previously submitted payment reporting information remains unchanged, then payment reporting in the system is not required. Reporting is required when the prime Contractor makes payments to any first tier subcontractors and any DBE companies at any tier. The payment information is provided through submittal of the information via the 2124A reporting system (MERS). System information can be found at the following web link.

https://milogin.michigan.gov/eai/login/authenticate?URL=/

The prime Contractor must bring any concerns about the satisfactory completion of subcontractor or lower-tier subcontractor work items, to the Engineer’s attention as soon as the concern is discovered. If the work meets the requirements of satisfactory completion and the prime Contractor has been paid for that work, the Engineer must determine whether:

1. The prime Contractor has demonstrated a valid reason for withholding payment from the subcontractor or supplier, or

2. The subcontractor has demonstrated a valid reason for withholding payment from the lower-tier subcontractor or supplier.

If the Engineer determines the reason for withholding payment is valid, the Engineer will process a negative estimate to withdraw the amount involved in the complaint. If payment has not been made for the work related to the complaint, the Engineer will not include those items of work on an estimate until the issue has been resolved.

The prime Contractor remains responsible to make prompt payments on this project to their subcontractors and suppliers except as noted in subsection 109.08.D of this special provision, even if the prime Contractor is in violation of other contractual obligations and the Department is withholding payment from the prime Contractor for those violations.

The prime Contractor must include language in all subcontracts that the Department prohibits prime Contractors from holding retainage from subcontractors. All provisions of this prompt payment subsection apply to all subcontracts, lower-tier subcontracts, and supplier agreements and must be included in each subcontract for the contract, including all lower-tier subcontracts and agreements.

This prompt payment provision is a requirement of 49 CFR 26.29 and does not confer third-party beneficiary rights or other direct rights to a subcontractor against the Department. This provision applies to both DBE and non-DBE subcontractors/suppliers at all tiers.

C. Satisfactory Completion. Progress and partial payments for contract work are issued based on the satisfactory completion of work. Satisfactory completion, for purposes of this prompt payment provision, is defined as:

https://milogin.michigan.gov/eai/login/authenticate?URL=/

CFS:JJG 3 of 4 03-27-20

1. Upon preliminary review, the Engineer finds the work completed in accordance with the contract, plans, and specifications; and,

2. Required documentation, including material certifications, payrolls, submission of 2124A, etc., has been received and reviewed and found to be acceptable by the Engineer; and,

3. Required subcontractor sworn statements and waivers of lien have been provided to the prime Contractor. The prime Contractor must provide notice to the Engineer if sworn statements and waivers of lien have not been received for completed work.

The Engineer will determine if the work meets the standards of satisfactory completion.

D. Less than full payment release. The Engineer may give written approval to:

1. Delay or postpone payment from the time frames specified herein,

2. Process partial payment from the prime Contractor to a subcontractor or supplier,

3. Process partial payment from a subcontractor to a lower-tier subcontractor or supplier.

The unpaid portion will be held by the Department.

The parties may initiate whatever dispute resolution procedure is specified in their agreement or is available under Michigan law. If dispute resolution or litigation is selected, the actions by both parties must proceed in a timely manner. The result of the dispute resolution proceeding or litigation must be provided to the Engineer promptly upon the conclusion of the proceeding.

The Engineer will release the disputed payment being held by the Department in accordance with the outcome of the proceedings.

E. Non-Payment Claims. The prime Contractor, subcontractor, lower-tier subcontractor or supplier must notify the alleged offending party in writing of any prompt payment violations within 30 calendar days of the date the payment was to be received. Copies of the notifications must be provided to the Engineer and the prime Contractor (only if the prime Contractor is not the offending party).

The alleged offending party must respond in writing to the claimant within 10 calendar days of receipt of the notification of failure to meet prompt payment provisions. Provide copies of the response to the Engineer, the prime Contractor (only if the prime Contractor is not the offending party), and the Engineer of Construction Field Services. The prime Contractor, subcontractor, or supplier must also provide the required sworn statements and waivers of lien from the affected subcontractor or supplier to the Engineer within 10 days of receipt of the notification. The Department will consider the failure of the alleged offending party to respond to the notification from the claimant as an admission of the prompt pay violation which may result in sanctions.

The Engineer will review the written notice and response and will verify in writing if there is a valid prompt pay violation.

Independent of all procedures and requirements in this special provision the non-payment claimant has the additional option of submitting a lien claim to the MDOT Contract Services Division. MDOT will notify the project surety of the non-payment issue. It is the responsibility

CFS:JJG 4 of 4 03-27-20 of the surety to ensure that all legitimately due payments are made. The submission of a lien claim will not nullify or affect any other requirements, obligations or procedures in this special provision.

F. Remedies. When the Engineer verifies a prompt payment violation, the prime Contractor within 5 days must propose one or a combination of any of the following actions items for review and approval by the Engineer:

1. Issue payment to the subcontractor.

2. Issue payments to a subcontractor in the form of joint checks to the subcontractor and the subcontractor’s lower-tier subcontractors and/or suppliers.

3. Issue payment directly to the subcontractor’s lower-tier subcontractors or suppliers.

4. Request a negative estimate to withdraw the amount confirmed in the prompt payment violation.

If the prime Contractor fails to submit a timely remedy request or obtain an approved course of action within the 5 day time period, the Engineer will direct a course of action or issue a negative estimate to withdraw the amount confirmed in the prompt payment violation.

If the prime Contractor fails to fulfill the approved or directed course of action the Engineer will impose sanctions until such time as the approved or directed course of action is completed.

Any payments to a subcontractor’s lower-tier subcontractor or supplier will be issued in the amounts reflected upon the subcontractor’s sworn statements or in amounts independently verified by the Engineer as being due the subcontractor’s lower-tier subcontractors and suppliers for work completed. Payments to a lower-tier subcontractor or supplier will be considered payment to the subcontractor directly so that payment for the same work cannot be claimed.

Any other use of joint checks must follow current Department procedures.

G. Sanctions. Failure to comply with any of the prompt payment requirements by the prime Contractor, subcontractor, lower-tier subcontractor, or supplier may result in sanctions against the offending party. These sanctions may include, but are not limited to: withholding of estimates on projects where prompt payment violations are confirmed; reduction or removal of prequalification; and/or suspension of bidding privileges.

SUPERPAVE MIXTURES

CFS:KPK 1 of 3 APPR:CJB:JWB:02-26-20

FHWA:APPR:03-02-20

Delete the first paragraph of subsection 501.02.A.2 of the Standard Specifications for Construction in its entirety and replace it with the following:

2. Recycled Mixtures. Substitution of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and/or recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) for part of the new materials required to produce the HMA is acceptable as described in the following subsections. Produce the mixture in accordance with subsection 501.02.C. Inclusion of RAP and/or RAS in the mixture will not change the contract unit price.

Add the following subsection to subsection 501.02.A.2 of the Standard Specifications for

c. Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement, Recycled Asphalt Shingles, and Binder Grade Selection. The method for determining the binder grade in HMA mixtures incorporating RAP and/or RAS is divided into three categories designated Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3. Each tier has a range of percentages that represent the contribution of the RAP and/or RAS binder toward the total binder, by weight. The tiers identified below apply to Superpave mixtures.

Ensure Superpave mixture types EML, EML High Stress, EMH, EMH High Stress, EH, and EH High Stress used as leveling or top course are limited to a maximum of 27 percent RAP or RAP/RAS binder by weight of the total binder in the mixture.

RAP and/or RAS will not be allowed in Asphalt Stabilized Crack Relief Layer mixtures.

RAS materials must not contribute more than 17 percent by weight of the total binder content for any HMA mixture.

The Contractor may substitute RAP and/or RAS for a portion of the new materials required to produce HMA mixture. RAS are defined as processed asphalt shingle material from manufacturing of asphalt roofing shingles or from tear-off shingles from residential structures. Use of post-manufacture RAS or post-consumer RAS is permitted. “Post-consumer RAS”, or “tear-offs”, are processed shingle scrap removed from residential structures. RAS must comply with all regulatory requirements. Ensure RAS is stockpiled separately from other materials and is separated into post-consumer RAS and post-manufacture RAS stockpiles. RAS may be blended with up to 20 percent fine aggregate during processing as shown on the mix design to avoid clumping and allow proper metering of the material from feed bins. Blended RAS and fine aggregate will be

CFS:KPK 2 of 3 02-26-20 considered the final RAS product and not a fine aggregate product. Process the RAS by ambient grinding or granulating such that 95-100 percent of the particles pass the 3/8 inch size sieve and 90-100 percent of the particles pass the No. 4 sieve.

RAP and/or RAS may be used as a substitute for a portion of the new materials required to produce HMA mixtures in accordance with contract. When using RAS the percent of AC in the RAS will be determined by solvent vacuum extraction and the frequency of QC testing will be one test per 250 tons. Ensure the percentages of RAP and/or RAS are as specified on the Mix Design and Job Mix Formula.

RAS must not contain extraneous waste materials. Ensure extraneous materials including, but not limited to, asbestos, metals, glass, rubber, nails, soil, brick, tars, paper, wood, cellulose mat, and plastics are removed by hand and must not exceed 1.5 percent by weight as determined on material retained on the No. 8 sieve. To conduct deleterious material testing, a representative 500-700 gram sample of processed shingle material is sieved on the No. 8 sieve and any extraneous waste material retained on the No. 8 sieve is picked and weighed. (If RAS is processed to pass the No. 8 Sieve a visual inspection of the raw material may be used to determine if extraneous material exists. Any raw material pile found to have any extraneous material will be rejected. The rejected pile may be used for processing provided the extraneous material is completely removed and re-inspected before further processing.) The frequency of QC testing will be one test per 250 tons of shingles. The percent extraneous is based on the total sample weight. RAS must contain less than the maximum percentage of asbestos fibers based on testing procedures and frequencies established by state or federal environmental regulatory agencies.

Ensure RAP and RAS are stockpiled separately and fed to the plant by separate feed systems capable of metering at the design rate.

● Tier 1 (0 percent to 17 percent RAP and/or RAS binder by weight of the total binder in the mixture). No binder grade adjustment is required to compensate for the stiffness of the asphalt binder in RAP and/or RAS. The asphalt binder grade can be selected using a blending chart for high and low temperatures. Supply the blending chart used in determining the binder selection according to AASHTO M323.

● Tier 2 (18 percent to 27 percent RAP or RAP/RAS binder by weight of the total binder in the mixture). Ensure when incorporating only RAP, the required asphalt binder grade is at least one grade lower for the low temperature than the design binder grade required for the specified project mixture type. Lowering the high temperature of the binder one grade is optional. For example, if the design binder grade for the mixture type is PG 58-22, the required grade for the binder in the HMA mixture containing RAP would be a PG 52-28 or a PG 58-28.

No binder grade change will be required in Tier 2 for all shoulder and temporary road mixtures.

No binder grade change will occur for Tier 2 EL mixtures used as leveling or top course.

When incorporating RAS the asphalt binder grade will be selected using a blending chart for high and low temperatures. The Contractor must supply the blending chart used in determining the binder selection according to AASHTO M323 and the HMA Production Manual.

CFS:KPK 3 of 3 02-26-20

When incorporating only RAP the asphalt binder grade can also be selected using a blending chart for high and low temperatures. The Contractor must supply the blending chart used in determining the binder selection according to AASHTO M323.

● Tier 3 (≥ 28 percent RAP or RAP/RAS binder by weight of the total binder in the mixture). The binder grade for the asphalt binder is selected using a blending chart for high and low temperatures. The Contractor must supply the blending chart and the RAP/RAS test data used in determining the binder selection according to AASHTO M323 and the HMA Production Manual.

Delete subsection 811.03.A on page 623 of the Standard Specifications for Construction in its entirety and replace it with the following:

A. Equipment. Provide self-propelled equipment certified by the Department in accordance with MDOT’s Equipment Certification Guidelines – Pavement Markings for longitudinal striping on roadways. Certification is effective for 2 years. The Engineer may approve other equipment for special markings, parking lots, or areas inaccessible to self-propelled pavement marking equipment.

Apply longitudinal lines using certified self-propelled pavement marking equipment equipped with at least two binder tanks (plus a third catalyst tank for plural component materials) each having a capacity of at least 100 gallons and, if a double drop of two different optics is required, at least two optics tanks that may be utilized at the same time and have enough capacity to match the operating duration of 100 gallon binder tanks.

Operate marking equipment at no greater than the certified speed. The Engineer will assume that a striper operating above the certified working speed has operated at that speed for the entire day.

The Department may inspect the equipment at any time.

Use equipment capable of uniformly applying material to the required length and width.

Combination lines (double solid, solid and broken, double broken) must be placed in a single pass utilizing a multi-gun system. If the project calls for 4-inch width centerlines, provide equipment for placing centerlines equipped to apply three 4-inch-minimum-width lines on a two-lane road in one pass. If applying multiple centerlines, use three spray guns positioned 6 inches on center. If the project calls for 6-inch width centerlines, provide equipment for placing centerlines equipped to apply two 6-inch-minimum-width lines on a two-lane road in one pass. If applying multiple centerlines, use two spray guns positioned 10 inches on center. For two-lane freeways, apply the lane line from the left lane. For freeways with at least three lanes, apply the right lane line with the right edgeline when the right lane line and edgeline are the same material.

Use an easily adjusted, dashing mechanism to retrace existing lane or centerline markings.

Use a self-propelled pavement marker equipped to mark pavement in either direction on a roadway. Provide equipment setup to apply markings off both sides of the truck simultaneously when not striping in a recess. The driver’s side carriage must be equipped with a dedicated white gun along with the yellow guns. The truck must also be

20SP-811C-01

PMK:MKB 2 of 2 06-07-23 equipped with blowers in front of the gun carriages with the air supply produced by a minimum 185 cfm compressor. If striping contraflow to traffic, a lane closure must be utilized. Use a continuous skip cycle. Do not zero or return the cycle control unit to the beginning or start of a new cycle.

Provide a distance meter to measure the length of each line.

The Engineer may check the calibration of metering devices at any time. If the Engineer determines that the equipment is unsatisfactory, use other methods approved by the Engineer.

Use equipment for placing hot-applied thermoplastic and sprayable thermoplastic material that can maintain the temperature recommended by the material manufacturer.

Allow time for the Engineer to inspect traffic control devices as shown in MDOT’s Pavement Marking Convoy Typicals or the project plans prior to marking applications and make any corrections as directed by the Engineer before continuing. If applying markings on a roadway closed to traffic, the traffic control devices specified in MDOT’s Pavement Marking Convoy Typicals are not required, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.

The equipment must have the following minimum safety equipment: a backup camera;

strobes on the front, rear and midpoint of the truck bed; flood lights for night work; and flashers on the gun carriages.

Delete subsection 811.03.G.1 on page 8-69 of the Standard Specifications for Construction in its entirety and replace it with the following:

1. Grooving Concrete and Hot Mix Asphalt Pavement. If there are no markings on the pavement, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to layout and groove exactly where the permanent markings will be placed. If there are temporary painted pavement markings in the correct location, use these lines as a template for the grooving operation. If there are existing permanent pavement markings in place, remove them in accordance with subsection 812.03.F prior to grooving operations. The removal of any existing pavement markings will be paid for separately.

Use equipment and methods approved by the manufacturer of the pavement marking material to be recessed for forming grooves in pavement surfaces. Dry-cut the grooves in a single pass using self-vacuuming equipment capable of producing a finished groove ready for pavement marking material installation. Utilize stacked diamond cutting heads on all new HMA and PCC surfaces. Substituting polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting heads is allowable for HMA and PCC pavements that have been in place for over 1 year and on high friction surfacing installations of any age.

Ensure that the bottom of the groove has a fine corduroy finish. If a coarse tooth pattern results, increase the number of blades and decrease the spaces on the cutting head until the required finish is achieved.
