MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

PART 1: GENERAL

1.1 DESCRIPTION

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 and materials will be considered incidental to and included in the payment of the pay items in the Schedule of Items.

B. When more than one class, or size is specified in the Schedule of Items for any pay item a suffix may be added to the item number to differentiate items for bid.

1.2 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

A. The following methods of measurement are used to determine contract quantities for payment:

B. 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, sprigging, and sodding will be along slope lines.

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

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

E. For items that are measured by the linear foot, measurements will be made parallel to the base or foundation upon which the structures are placed, unless otherwise shown on the drawings.

F. When aggregates are weighed for payment, the tonnage will be adjusted to dry weight. If moisture determination is necessary, the daily average moisture content will be determined from not less than three representative samples of aggregate taken at random intervals each day that aggregate is being weighed.

G. 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 material has been lost from the vehicle, has been wasted, or has otherwise not been incorporated into this work. Determining true weights of hauling vehicles shall be made by weighing the

SPECIFICATIONS

SECTION 01114 - 2

empty vehicles at least once a day at the time the Contracting Officer directs. Each vehicle shall bear a plainly legible identification mark.

H. For standard manufactured items, such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduits, etc., identified by gage, weight, section dimensions, etc., such identification shall be considered the nominal weights or dimensions. Unless by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturer’s tolerances will be accepted.

1.3 UNITS OF MEASUREMENT

A. Payment will be by units defined and determined according to US Standard Measure and by the following:

1. Cubic Yard: A measurement computed by one of the following methods:

2. Excavation or Embankment - The measurement computed by the average end area method from measurements made longitudinally along a centerline or reference line.

3. Material in Place or Stockpile - The measurement computed with dimensions of the in-place material. Computations may be made by the average end area method or prismoidal formula for stockpiled material.

4. 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.

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

6. Each - One complete unit which may consist of one or more parts.

7. Lump Sum - One complete unit of work as required by or described in the contract.

8. M. Gals - One thousand gallons.

9. Station - One hundred linear feet.

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

11. Ton - Short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds.

12. Unit - A single quantity regarded as a whole in calculation; for example, 1000 square feet.

1.4 PAYMENT

SPECIFICATIONS

SECTION 01114 - 3

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

A. Contract Quantities (CQ). These quantities denote the number of units to be paid for under the terms of the contract. Changes in the number of units of the originally contemplated work will not be made unless authorized under one or more of the following conditions:

1. As a result of changes authorized by the Contracting Officer in the originally contemplated work. Minor changes, adjustments, or balance points will not be considered changes in quantities.

2. As a result of the Contracting Officer determining that errors exist in the original design data used to determine contract quantities that cause a pay item to change by 15 percent or more.

3. As a result of the Contractor submitting to the Contracting Officer a written request showing evidence of errors in the original design data used to determine contract quantities that cause a pay item total 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.

B. Final payment will be made for the Contract quantities at the unit price shown in the

Schedule of Items, subject to the Variation in Quantities Provisions.

C. Actual Quantities (AQ) - Quantities determined by measurement of completed work.

D. 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.
