SECTION 011250 - MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

1. GENERAL

SUMMARY

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.

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.

DETERMINATION OF QUANTITIES

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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."

UNITS OF MEASUREMENT

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

Acre: Make longitudinal and transverse measurements for area computations horizontally.

50lb Bag: Measurement will be for the actual number of 50lb bags of standard bentonite grout.

94lb Bag: Measurement will be for the actual number of 94lb bags of standard cement or grout.

Cubic Yard (CY): A measurement computed by one of the following methods:

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

Material in Place or Stockpile. The measurement computed using the dimensions of the in-place material.

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.

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

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

Measured volume in container.

Metered volume by approved metering system.

Commercially package volume.

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

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

Lump Sum (LS): One complete unit.

Mile: Measured horizontally along the centerline of each roadway, approach, or ramp.

Pound (LB): For sacked or packaged material, measurement will be the net weight as packed by the manufacturer.

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

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

Ton: Measured as a short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds.

METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

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

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

DESIGNED QUANTITIES (DQ) - 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:

As a result of changes in the work authorized by the CO.

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.

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.

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.

STAKED QUANTITIES (SQ) - These quantities are determined from staked measurements prior to construction.

VEHICLE QUANTITIES (VQ) - These quantities are measured or weighed in hauling vehicles.

Items to be salvaged include:

GENERAL

Topsoil stripping and storage, if required, shall comply with the applicable specification.

The Contractor may use any means to remove the structures or items shown on the Drawings to be removed, as long as the safety of the public is provided and the surrounding site and structures are preserved All of a substructure shall be demolished to a depth of 1 foot below the present ground level. All wood, concrete, and metal materials to be removed shall be broken into sufficiently small pieces to enable handling and disposal. All other structures shall be backfilled and the surrounding ground restored to as near normal conditions as practicable in accordance with these specifications.

Backfill for removed items may be excess material from other excavation or borrow from an approved source.

Backfill shall be brought up in 12-inch compacted layers.

Compaction shall be by mechanical tampers, with at least three passes over the entire surface.

Maximum size of rock in backfill shall be 8 inches.

Backfill shall be compacted and rounded 6 inches above the natural ground.

If the backfill is not in an existing roadway or parking area, and at least 20 feet away from any proposed structure, the backfill shall be as specified above, except backfill shall be graded to blend with the natural ground and each layer compacted to 85 percent of the optimum dry density determined by AASHTO T-99, Method C.

In areas where backfill is in graveled or paved surface roadways, or within 20 feet of a proposed structure, the backfill shall be as specified above, except it shall be terminated at the grade shown on the drawings and each layer compacted to 85 percent of the optimum dry density determined by AASHTO T-99, Method C. Completion of backfill shall be in accordance with the applicable surfacing specifications.

When topsoil replacement is required, backfill and compaction shall be as specified above, except the backfill shall terminate 6 inches below the natural ground. Placement of topsoil, when required, shall comply with the applicable specification.

Excessive settlement or other evidence of improper backfill shall be corrected by reopening the excavation to the depth required for proper refilling and compaction.

DISPOSAL

Disposal of debris shall comply with Section 024100 “Waste Material Disposal.”

FINISHING AND CLEANUP

After the area has been backfilled, the disturbed area shall be finish graded to present a natural appearance and cleaned up by removing all debris and materials left from the removal of items in this Section.
