Section 101.03 Terms

If the term is capitalized, it is capitalized in the Specifications• Contract – includes permits, boring logs, pavement core records• day – definition unchanged, but use of business day or calendar

day has been deleted from the specifications, except where required by State statute.

• Utility vs. utility – Utility is a company, which provides services/ utility is a facility owned by the Utility.

• RE – term RE replaces Resident Engineer, with few exceptions other representatives with the Department are simply referred to as the Department rather than by unit or division.

Section 104.03.03 Changes

Quantity Increases/Decreases – bid prices hold only for increases and decreases that are within 25% of proposal quantity. Outside that, prices may be renegotiated.

“Proposal quantity” does not include quantities designated on the Plans as “if and where directed.”

IF AND WHERE DIRECTED quantities should almost never be used. It can be used with the SME’s concurrence, where we specifically want to insulate the Department from risk.

pedestrian access. – discuss with operations other sidewalk areas for which the DOT has ice snow removal requirement.

Must be amended in the Special Provisions, when the project does not involve a fixed area (Operations Service Contracts).

Section 108.11 Modifications toContract Time

If excusable noncompensable delays exceed 180 days, the time in excess of 180 days will be excusable, compensable. – Consider amend this to 90 days or less for projects with durations of less than 1 year

Extreme Weather - Time extensions for weather only granted if controlling activity on critical path is delayed due to weather and the cumulative delay due to weather exceeds the number of days specified in Table 108.11.01-1 for any month (Designer’s Progress schedule should be based on normal # days workable for a given month. If an aggressive schedule is being provided – the table may need to be tailored for the project.)

Section 108.14 Default

Fails to begin construction operations within 40 days of execution of the Contract. (Designer should amend this if start of work is restricted)

Section 109.01 Measurement and Payment

Measurement of Quantities Measured Items vs. Proposal Items. The Department will

designate Items as Measured Items or as Proposal Items by having a suffix of P or M in the Item number.

The Department will not measure quantities for Proposal Items, except quantities designated on the Plans as “if and where directed,” for payment. The Department will measure quantities for Proposal Items that are designated on the plans as “if and where directed” for payment when the RE directs work using the “if and where directed” quantity.
