The date of availability for this contract is October 28, 2026.

The completion date for this contract is October 27, 2027.

Except where otherwise provided by the contract, observation periods required by the contract will not be a part of the work to be completed by the completion date and/or intermediate contract times stated in the contract. The acceptable completion of the observation periods that extend beyond the final completion date shall be a part of the work covered by the performance and payment bonds.

Work shall be accomplished in a continuous manner once the contractor begins.

The liquidated damages for this contract will be assessed per the Mobilization and Liquidated

Damages for ID/IQ provision located elsewhere in this contract.

WORK ORDER ASSIGNMENT (SINGLE AWARDS) FOR ID/IQ:

(2-15-22)(Rev. 4-19-22) SPD 01-800A

Work orders will be assigned by the Engineer. The Contractor shall respond to the work order assignments with the anticipated start date, within three working days of notification unless

MG00533 N/A G-2

noted otherwise. Failure to complete work in accordance with contract provisions and completion date may result in liquidated damages.

For federal ID/IQ contracts, all work orders will be assigned via the Work Order Assignment

Form (Form IDIQ-1SA), and the Contractor is required to formally respond in writing for federal work orders within three working days, unless noted otherwise. The Work Order Assignment

Form will also be used for any state ID/IQ contract in which the estimated work order cost meets the threshold for Performance and Payment Bonds in accordance with the Bonding Requirements for ID/IQ provision found elsewhere in this contract. For state ID/IQ contracts in which the work order assignment doesn’t meet the threshold for bonds, the Department has the option to use the Work Order Assignment Form or other methods for work order assignments as agreed upon by the Engineer and Contractor.

The Contractor shall be required to prosecute the work in a continuous and uninterrupted manner from the time they begin the work until completion and final acceptance of the work order.

Multiple failures of the Contractor to mobilize and begin work on the work order within the agreed upon time frame or failure to complete the work within the given time frame may result in the Contractor being excluded from future work on this contract in accordance with the

Standard Specifications.

BONDING REQUIREMENTS FOR ID/IQ:

(2-15-22) SPD 01-810

For purposes of this ID/IQ contract, the following definitions apply:

Project Agreement: A transportation improvement with a defined scope of work; a written agreement between NCDOT and the Federal Government defining the extent of construction work to be undertaken in accordance with the submitted plans, specifications and estimates.

Execution of the agreement prompts the authorization to proceed (construction funding).

Project: An undertaking issued to a contractor through a Work Order Assignment. The construction under a Project Agreement may be accomplished by one or more work order assignments, from one or more ID/IQ contracts. Note that for ID/IQ contracts this definition supersedes the definition in the Standard Specifications.

Award: The issuance of a signed Work Order Assignment by NCDOT shall constitute the notice of award of a project.

In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 44A-26, bonds are required on contracts awarded for any one project that exceeds $500,000. Beyond statutory requirements, NCDOT policy requires payment and performance bonds on all projects where the engineer’s estimate is

$450,000 or greater, all Asphalt Surface Treatment projects, and projects containing the 12-month guarantee provision. The limit for waiving bonds for all bridge replacement and major bridge rehabilitation projects (latex overlays, etc.) is $300,000 based on the engineer’s estimate.

The decision of bonding of a work order assignment below the dollar amounts listed shall be at the discretion of the Division’s evaluation of the risks associated with the project.

The need for contract payment and performance bonds will be determined at the Work Order

Assignment level. The Work Order Assignment will notify the Contractor of an award of a

MG00533 N/A G-3 Caswell County project and if required, to provide contract payment and performance bonds per Article 103-7 of the Standard Specifications. The Work Order Assignment replaces the Notification of Award

Letter mentioned in Article 103-4(A) of the Standard Specifications.

MOBILIZATION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR ID/IQ:

(2-15-22) SPD 01-820

The Contractor shall mobilize to each location he is required to perform work. There will be no direct pay for Mobilization as it will be incidental to the other bid items. The only exception is if there is an Emergency Mobilization provision within the contract.

The Contractor will be provided a Work Order Assignment for each project with location(s), estimated quantities, and liquidated damages unless waived by the Engineer. Notification will be verbal followed by a faxed or emailed signed Work Order Assignment. There will be no minimum quantities for any line item associated with a particular mobilization. The Contractor shall complete the work identified on each Work Order Assignment.

The Contractor shall mobilize and complete the work within the time specified on the Work

Order Assignment. Failure to complete the work by the completion date may result in the application of liquidated damages. Liquidated damage amounts will be based on the work order estimate and the liquidated damage table below.

Work Order Value Liquidated Damages (per calendar day)

$0 - $100K $100.00

$100K - $200K $250.00

$200K - $300K $500.00

The compensation payable to the contractor shall be fixed for the first twelve months of this contract. However, upon an application of renewal of the contract, or thirty days prior to the end of each contract period, the renewal contract may be adjusted to reflect the adjustment in the

Consumer Price Index over the latest twelve month period as published by the US Bureau of

Labor and Statistics at http://www.bls.gov/cpi to be applied to new work order assignments. The

Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), US City Average, All Items, 1982-

84=100, not seasonally adjusted will be used. If the amount of the requested adjustment is more than ten percent, the Department of Transportation reserves the right to cancel this contract.

CPI adjustment values can be determined using the calculator on the NCDOT Construction website.

MG00533 N/A G-4

This price escalation method will not be applied to items of work that are separately covered under commodity price escalation clauses. No other changes in the terms, conditions, etc. of this contract will be made when an extension to the contract is implemented. The Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing 90 DAYS BEFORE THE END OF THE CONTRACT

PERIOD if the contract may be extended. The Contractor must notify the Engineer in writing

WITHIN 60 CALENDAR DAYS of his acceptance or rejection of this offer. Failure on the part of the Contractor to reply will be received as a rejection of contract extension.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS FOR ID/IQ:

(2-15-22)(Rev. 1-16-24) SPD 01-850

If a question should arise on the contract or assignment of a work order, the contractor should notify the Engineer noted on the assignment documentation or the Division Engineer within 48 hours after the scheduled time of bid opening or work order assignment. The following should be included in the notification if applicable:

(A) the contract for which bids were solicited;

(B) the particular law, regulation, or contract specification violated;

(C) a detailed description of the alleged violation; and

(D) any other information deemed to be relevant.

Once the initial evaluation has been completed, the contractor may be asked to attend a meeting for further discussion and clarification.

Once a determination has been made, the contractor will be notified of the decision by the

Division Engineer. If the decision does not meet the satisfaction of the contractor, they have 24 hours from the Division Engineer’s notification to elevate the dispute to the Chief Engineer. The

Chief Engineer will make the final decision and will not be subject to further review by NCDOT.
