SECTION 00 30 10

DEFINITION OF BID ITEMS

1. PART 1 -GENERAL

1.0 SUMMARY

A. The basis for measurement and payment for all work performed under this contract shall be as listed in the “Bid Form.” Unless the work is specifically called out to be measured and paid for in the Bid Form, payment for such work shall be included in other applicable items of the Bid Form.

There shall be no separate measurement and payment for any such work not specifically listed in the Bid Form.

B. The Contractor shall complete unit and total pricing for ALL items. If “optional” items are presented the “optional” item work shall be bid as mutually exclusive (stand alone) items. The Contracting Officer and the government reserves the right to award individual optional items, as funding becomes available.

C. The application of any pay item to more than one site will be marked by prefixes to differentiate between them on the Bid Form.

D. When more than one class, size, type, thickness, etc. is specified in the Bid Form for any pay item, suffixes will be added to the item number to differentiate between the pay items.

E. This item is intended to compensate the Contractor for operations including, but not limited to, those necessary for the movement of personnel, equipment, supplies, and incidentals to the project site; for payment of premiums for bonds and insurance for the project; and for any other work and operations which must be performed or costs that must be incurred incident to the initiation of meaningful work at the site and for which payment is not otherwise provided for under the contract.

F. Items listed in the Bid Form as lump sum shall be on a lump sum all required basis. No direct measurement will be made for lump sum bid items. Bid items calling for unit prices show estimated quantities of work to be performed. These quantities, although shown with as much accuracy as possible, are approximate only and are for bidding purposes only. Payment to the contractor shall be made on the quantity of work actually performed by the Contractor.

G. The summation of all bid items under the Bid Form shall equal all work required by the drawings and Specifications regardless of whether individual items of work are described under bid item descriptions or not. Payment shall be made at the contract unit bid or lump sum prices listed in the Bid. The prices listed therein shall be payment in full for all labor, tools, equipment, materials, etc., which are required to construct respective bid items according to the Contract Documents, including all work and materials incidental thereto.

1.1 DETERMINATION OF QUANTITIES

00 30 10 Definition of Bid Items 2/5

A. The following measurements and calculations shall be used to determine contract quantities for payment.

1. For standard manufactured items (such as wire, pipe) 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 tolerances shall be accepted.

1.2 UNITS OF MEASUREMENT

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

1. Cubic Yard (CY): 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. Each (EA): One complete unit, which may consist of one or more parts.

3. Gallons (GAL): The quantity shall be measured by any of the following methods:

a. Measured volume in container.

b. Metered volume by approved metering system.

c. Commercially package volume.

4. Hour (HR): Measurement will be for the actual number of hours (or fraction thereof) ordered by the Contracting Officer and performed by the contractor.

5. Linear Foot (LF): Measurement of work along its length from point-to-point; parallel to the base or foundation. Do not measure overlaps.

6. Lump Sum (LS): One complete unit.

7. Square Foot (SF): Measured on a plane parallel to the surface being measured.

8. Square Yard (SY): Measured on a plane parallel to the surface being measured.

1.3 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

00 30 10 Definition of Bid Items 3/5

A. One of the following methods of measurement for determining final payment is designated on the Schedule of Items for each pay item:

1. ACTUAL QUANTITIES (AQ) - These quantities are determined from actual measurements of completed work.

2. CONTRACT QUANTITIES (CQ) - 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 CO.

b. As a result of the CO determining that errors exist in the original design, and cause a pay item quantity to change by 15 percent or more.

c. As a result of the Contractor submitting to the CO 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.

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 shall not be measured.

2. DEFINITION OF BID ITEMS
