109.06 Pricing of Adjustments. Add the following:

ASPHALT CEMENT PRICE ADJUSTMENT PROVISION

GENERAL The Asphalt Cement Price Adjustment Provision contained herein provides for a price adjustment in the form of payment to the Contractor or a rebate to the Government for fluctuations in the cost of asphalt cement consumed in the performance of applicable construction work. The price adjustment provisions are applicable only to the asphalt cement, as defined in Section 702.01, and incorporated in the following eligible contract pay items:

• 41801 Superpave pavement

• 41802 Superpave pavement, wedge and leveling course

The price adjustment provisions are also applicable to these eligible pay items when the Government adds extra work to the Contract.

Typewritten Text

The provision will remain in effect throughout the duration of the contract. Enactment of the Asphalt Cement Price Adjustment Provision will only be considered when the increase or decrease in the price of asphalt cement as defined herein exceeds 10 percent.

The Asphalt Cement Price Adjustment Provision is intended to reduce but not eliminate the cost effects of price uncertainty to the Contractor and the Government for asphalt cement used in the construction of this contract. It provides for sharing by the Government in a portion of the Contractor’s risk, which could result from unusual price fluctuations. The provision is not intended to compensate the Contractor for normal day-to-day fluctuations and seasonal changes or to serve as a guarantee of full compensation for asphalt cement price fluctuations.

PRICE INDEXES The Government will generate a monthly performance price index for asphalt cement using price data obtained from Poten and Partners, Inc. (PPI), which publishes a weekly report (Asphalt Weekly Monitor) on high and low selling prices for states in five regions throughout the United States including the East Coast/Northeast, the Mid-Continent/Midwest, the Gulf Coast/Mid South, the Rocky Mountains and the West Coast/Northwest. Weekly high and low selling price data reported for North Carolina in the East Coast/Northeast Region will be averaged and used to establish a base price index, BPI, for this project and a monthly performance price index, MPPI, for the duration of the contract. These indexes are defined as follows:

• BASE PRICE INDEX The base price index, BPI, is the price index determined by arithmetic average, as specified above, shown in the four weekly publications immediately preceding the bid opening. The BPI will be provided by the Government after contract award. It is as follows:

BASE PRICE INDEX (BPI) FOR ASPHALT CEMENT

PER SHORT TON (TON) = $

• MONTHLY PERFORMANCE PRICE INDEX The monthly performance price index, MPPI, is the monthly price index at the time of performance of applicable work as determined by arithmetic average, as specified above, shown in the four weekly publications issued prior to the last Wednesday of the month (i.e. the monthly performance price index during which asphalt cement is used in the performance of applicable construction work).

PRICE ADJUSTMENTS Price adjustments are calculated by the Government for average conditions and are not intended to reflect the Contractor’s actual purchase price. The ratio of the monthly performance price index and the base price index (MPPI/BPI) is calculated and used to determine price adjustments as follows:

• No Price Adjustment – When the ratio MPPI/BPI falls within the range of 0.90 to 1.10, no price adjustment will be made for any asphalt cement used in construction work performed during the relevant month.

• Government Rebate – When the ratio MPPI/BPI is calculated to be less than 0.90, the Government is due a rebate determined in accordance with the following formula:

Government Rebate = [0.90 – (MPPI/BPI)] (BPI) (Q)

• 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 metric 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 metric 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.

109.06 Pricing of Adjustments Add the following:

FUEL PRICE ADJUSTMENT PROVISION

GENERAL The Fuel Price Adjustment Provision provides for a price adjustment in the form of payment to the Contractor or a rebate to the Government for fluctuations in the cost of diesel fuel consumed in the performance of applicable construction work. The price adjustment provisions are applicable only to those contract items listed as eligible pay items in Table 1 below, if gasoline and/or diesel are used as the primary fuel in the production of the affected items. The pschaad price adjustment provisions are also applicable to these eligible pay items when the Government adds extra work to the Contract.

The provision will remain in effect throughout the duration of the contract. Enactment of the Fuel Price Adjustment Provision will only be considered when the increase or decrease in the price of motor fuel as defined herein exceeds 10 percent.

PRICE INDEXES The Government will generate a monthly performance price index for Ultra Low Sulfur, No. 2 Diesel Fuel using price data obtained from the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS), which publishes a weekly report on gasoline and distillate reseller prices for major cities in five regions throughout the United States including the East Coast (PADD 1), the Midwest (PADD 2), the Gulf Coast (PADD 3), the Rockies (PADD 4) and the West Coast (PADD 5).

Weekly average rack price data reported for Charlotte, NC in the East Coast Region will be averaged and used to establish a base price index, BPI, for this project and a monthly performance price index, MPPI, for the duration of the contract. These indexes are defined as follows:

• BASE PRICE INDEX The base price index, BPI, is the price index determined by arithmetic average, as specified above, shown in the four weekly publications immediately preceding the bid opening. The BPI will be provided by the Government after contract award. It is as follows:

BASE PRICE INDEX (BPI) FOR ULTRA LOW SULFUR, NO. 2 DIESEL FUEL

PER GALLON = $

• MONTHLY PERFORMANCE PRICE INDEX The monthly performance price index, MPPI, is the monthly price index at the time of performance of applicable work as determined by arithmetic average, as specified above, shown in the four weekly publications issued prior to the last Wednesday of the month (i.e. the monthly performance price index during which motor fuel is consumed in the performance of applicable construction work).

PRICE ADJUSTMENTS Price adjustments are calculated by the Government for average conditions and are not intended to reflect the Contractor’s actual purchase price. The ratio of the monthly performance price index and the base price index (MPPI/BPI) is calculated and used to determine price adjustments for eligible pay items as follows:

• No Price Adjustment – When the ratio MPPI/BPI falls within the range of 0.90 to 1.10, no price adjustment will be made for any motor fuel consumed in construction work performed during the relevant month.

• Government Rebate – When the ratio MPPI/BPI is calculated to be less than 0.90, the

Government is due a rebate determined in accordance with the following formula:

Government Rebate = [0.90 – (MPPI/BPI)] (BPI) (Q) (FUF)

• 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) (FUF)

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 motor fuel is consumed in the performance of applicable construction work.

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

Q = Quantity of work on the project during the progress payment period for eligible pay items shown in Table 1 below. The Government, to agree with the units associated with the applicable Fuel Usage Factor, will convert work quantities, as necessary.

FUF = Fuel Usage Factor shown in Table 1 below applicable to both diesel and gasoline.
