Pursuant to Executive Order Number 01 FY 03/04, please complete the following when submitting contracts, grants and/or requisitions for approval:
1. Explain the emergency or essential nature of the service, and the impact of delay or postponement. Permeability is an important performance characteristic of Portland Cement Concrete. The MaineDOT Central Lab evaluates the permeability of concrete supplied to construction projects using sophisticated equipment and instrumentation. The equipment currently in use is not sufficient to keep pace with the testing workload and it has become necessary to bring an additional unit into service.
2. Describe the funding source and any required match, whether immediate or by future journal or other transaction. Sufficient funding for this purchase is available in the Materials Testing and Exploration section’s non-project budget.[Click here and type explaination]
3. Describe the effort made to reduce the contract or requisition amount (i.e. by work reduction, rate concession, delay of purchase, etc.) Permeability testing must be performed when the concrete specimens are within a narrow age range. Because of our current capacity, it has occasionally been necessary for lab staff to work Saturdays and holidays in order to complete testing on specimens before they exceed the maximum allowable age. Acquisition of this unit will enhance our testing capacity and minimize, if not completely eliminate, the need for this overtime work.
