This addendum consists of 2 pages and the changes or clarifications shall become a part of the Bidding Documents. The purpose of the change is to adjust the fuel prices that were used in determining the hourly rates for owner-operated semi-tractors and equipment operators:

Request for Submittals, Exhibit A

• Replace Section 4. Payment in its entirety with the updated Section 4 below.

Payment for contractor supplied owner-operated semi-tractors and for contractor supplied equipment operators will be made on a lump sum hourly basis that reflects all contractor costs associated with work and equipment requirements described under Section 2 of this request for submittals.

Payment will only be made for those hours spent performing the work described in Section 2 of this request. Payment will not be made for time spent by the contractor doing repair and maintenance activities on his/her semi-tractors, fueling, pre-trip inspection, traveling to/from the job site at the beginning/end of the workday, lunch breaks, or any other time which, in the District’s sole and absolute judgment, does not conform with the work anticipated under Section 2 of this request. The contractors’ employees shall submit trip tickets to the District daily in the manner designated by the Metrogro staff. The trip tickets and/or daily log will include information on hours spent performing work described in Section 2 of this request, loads hauled or applied, and the farm/field to which each load was hauled or applied. The hours submitted by the contractor for payment are subject to the final approval of the District.

Payment will be made at the following hourly rates:

Owner-operated semi-tractor $127.45 per hour and fuel adjustments (see below)*

Equipment operator (operation of any District owned equipment) $58.76 per hour*

*Hourly rates are reviewed annually to verify they are competitive for the Madison area, and annual rate increases are based on the U.S.

Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index 12-month percentage change for November of the preceding year.

Addendum No. 1

Payment will be made on a bi-weekly basis. The contractor will submit an invoice to the District on a bi-weekly basis that reflects the hours worked in the previous two-week period. The invoice will be subject to District approval. The District will make payment to the contractor within twenty-one (21) days following District approval of the contractor’s bi-weekly invoice.

The above prices were determined when the price of diesel fuel was about $3.00 per gallon. If the price increases to $3.20 per gallon, the rate for provide owner/operator semi tractors will be increased $1.00 per hour. The rate will increase by an additional $1.00 per hour for each twenty (20) cent per gallon increase above $3.20 per gallon. If the price of diesel fuel drops to $2.80 per gallon, the rate for providing owner/operator semi tractors will be decreased $1.00 per hour. The rate will decrease by an additional $1.00 per hour for each twenty (20) cent decrease below $2.80 per gallon.

The fuel price used to determine whether an increase or decrease in rates will be applied will be the price per gallon for diesel fuel at the U.S. Energy Information Addition (eia) using Midwest (PADD2) diesel fuel price at the beginning of the bi-weekly pay period.
