All roads into Yosemite Valley have hauling restrictions.

Highway 120 (Big Oak Flat Road) and Highway 41 (Wawona Road) have tight curves and tunnels. Highway 140 (El Portal Road) has tight curves and a tunnel (in-bound) and the highway between El Portal and Mariposa is restricted to one lane and includes two 1-lane bridge crossings due to a rock slide.

During the winter season there are numerous times when chain restrictions are in place, therefore it is a requirement that during the winter season all vehicles that enter the Park carry chains for use on their vehicle, including any and all trucks.

Restrictions include:

(1) Highway 140 (El Portal Road, Inside the Park Boundary) – Comply with all of the following size restrictions for all vehicles on Highway 140 between the Highway 120/140 intersection and the YNP boundary:

Trailer length not to exceed 35 feet (measured from the kingpin to the rearmost part of the trailer). Combination vehicles not to exceed 60 feet in length.

(2) Highway 140 (El Portal Road, Outside Park Boundary) –Highway 140 between the YNP boundary and Mariposa has experienced a major hillside rockslide, resulting in a portion of Highway 140 being completely buried. CALTRANS has constructed a temporary detour around the slide site, with traffic restricted to one-way travel across two temporary bridges over the Merced River. With these temporary facilities in place, vehicle lengths are limited as follows:

No vehicles, single or in combination, can exceed 28 45 feet in total length.

Glacier Point Road PMIS No. 7394

• Contractor Payment - When the ratio MPPI/BPI is calculated to be greater than 1.10, the Contractor is due additional payment determined in accordance with the following formula:

Contractor Payment = [(MPPI/BPI) – 1.10] (BPI) (Q)

The following definitions are applicable to both the Government Rebate and the Contractor Payment formulas:

MPPI = Monthly Performance Price Index for the month during which asphalt cement is used in the performance of applicable construction work.

BPI = Base Price Index that is established immediately preceding the bid opening.

Q = Quantity in tons of asphalt cement for eligible pay items that were used on the project during the progress payment period. The quantity will be calculated using the asphalt content of the approved mix design and the following formula:

Q = Asphalt Concrete Pavement tons placed x (% Asphalt/100)

PRICE ADJUSTMENT COMPENSATION Monthly adjustments will be accrued. The final price adjustment will be paid, or rebated, after completion of all work for eligible pay items. The Contractor may request in writing a partial price adjustment payment once every 12 months, or when the unpaid accrued increase exceeds $10,000. The Government will take a rebate when the deductive accrual exceeds $10,000.

No price adjustments will be made for work performed beyond the Government-approved Contract completion date.

The maximum allowable monthly and final price adjustment to the Contractor or rebate to the Government is limited to a (MPPI/BPI) ratio of 1.6 and 0.4, respectively.
