PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

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, labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals necessary to successfully complete the project will be considered as included in the payment for items shown. This section defines the method of measurements and basis of payment for work items listed in the Schedule of Items.

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

1.2 DETERMINATION OF QUANTITIES

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

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. For excavation or embankment volumes, the average end area method shall be used to compute volumes. 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. For Structures, they shall be measured according to neat lines shown on the drawings or as altered by the CO, in writing, to fit field conditions.

4. For items that are measured by the linear foot, such as pipe culverts, fencing, guardrail, piping, utilities, and underdrains, measurements shall be made parallel to the base or foundation upon which the structures are placed.

5. For aggregates weighed for payment, the tonnage shall not be adjusted for moisture content, unless otherwise provided for.

6. 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 tolerances shall be accepted.

B. Earthwork Tolerances - 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 sections and to balance earthwork. Such adjustments shall not be considered as "Changes."

b. As a result of the CO 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 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.
