Jamie, this is what we received from our contracted Engineer:
From: Wes Wegner<wes.weaner@wallisenc�.net>
Sent: Wednesday,July 10, 201912:47 PM
To:Nichole George<nicholec�@ticard-or.gov>
Subject:Draft Change Order Language
Additional work to be completed:
Construct additional crack sealing per 00746 of the Standard Specifications
Justification for additional work:
During construction, it was determined that the estimated quantities included in the bid schedule were
insufficient for Bid item 4: Crack Seal for Roadways to complete all crack sealing within the project limits as
identified in the contract. This change order increases the quantities of Bid Item 4 by an additional 110,000
linear at the original unit contract price to complete additional crack sealing prior to the slurry sealing.
Cost:
110,000 LF @$0.90/LF=$99,000.00
The Field Change Order was designed to handle this exact situation where it's just additional quantities of a line item
needed. We don't have, nor could we obtain, more detail. It just"we need more of the same cause the cracks are
worse that anticipated." Will this work for Marty?

PART 00100 - GENERAL CONDITIONS
Section 00110 - Organization, Conventions, Abbreviations, and Definitions
00110.00 Organization of Specifications - The Specifications are comprised of the following:
A. The "General Conditions for Construction for the City of Tigard," published by the Agency,
which contain Part 00100 "General Conditions", which deal with the solicitation process and
contractual relationships;
B. The "2018-Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction," which contain Parts 00200 through
03000, published by the Oregon Department of Transportation which contain the detailed
"Technical Specifications" involved in prosecution of the Work, organized by subject matter; and
C. The Special Provisions.
In addition, throughout the Specifications:
A. Each Part is divided into Sections and Subsections.
B. Reference to a Section includes all applicable requirements of the Section.
C. When referring to a Subsection, only the number of the Subsection is used; the word
"Subsection" is implied.
D. Where Section and Subsection numbers are not consecutive, the interval has been reserved for
use in the Special Provisions or future expansion of the Standard Specifications.
0110.05 Conventions Used Throughout the Specifications Include:
A. Grammar - The "General Conditions for Construction for the City of Tigard", part 00100
"General Conditions", is written in the indicative mood, in which the subject is expressed. The
"2015 Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction", published by the Oregon Department
of Transportation, which contain parts 00200 through 03000, the detailed "Technical
Specifications", are generally written in the imperative mood, in which the subject is implied.
Therefore, throughout Parts 00200 through 03000, and on the Plans:
1. The subject, "the Contractor", is implied.
2. "Shall" refers to action required of the Contractor, and is implied.
3. "Will" refers to decisions or actions of the Agency and/or the Engineer.
4. The following words, or words of equivalent meaning, refer to the actions of the Agency
and/or the Engineer, unless otherwise stated: "allowed", "directed", "established",
"permitted", "ordered", "designated", "prescribed", "required", "determined".
5. The words "approved", "acceptable", "authorized", "satisfactory", "suitable", "considered",
and "rejected", "denied", "disapproved", or words of equivalent meaning, mean by or to the
Agency and/or the Engineer, subject in each case to Section 00150 of the General Conditions.
6. The words "as shown", "shown", "as indicated", or "indicated" mean "as indicated on the
Plans".
1
00110
7. Certain Subsections labeled "Payment" contain statements to the effect that "payment will be
made at the Contract amounts for the following items" (followed by a list of items). In such
cases the Agency shall pay for only those Pay Items listed in the Schedule of Items.
B. Capitalization of Terms - Capitalized terms, other than titles, abbreviations, and grammatical
usage, indicate that they have been given a defined meaning in the Standard Specifications. Refer
to Section 00110.20 "Definitions". Defined terms will always be capitalized in Part 00100; in
Parts 00200 through 03000, defined terms will generally not be capitalized, with the notable
exception of "the Contractor", "the Agency", and "the Engineer".
C. Punctuation - In this publication the "outside method" of punctuation is employed for
placement of the comma and the period with respect to quotation marks. Only punctuation that
is part of the quoted matter is placed within quotation marks.
D. References to Laws, Acts, Regulations, Rules, Ordinances, Statutes, Orders, and Permits -
References are made in the text of the Specifications to "laws", "acts", "rules", "statutes",
"regulations", "ordinances", etc. (collectively referred to for purposes of this Subsection as
"Law"), and to "orders" and "permits" (issued by a governmental authority, whether local, State,
or federal, and collectively referred to for purposes of this Subsection as "Permits"). Reference is
also made to "applicable laws and regulations". The following conventions apply in interpreting
these terms, as used in the Specifications.
1. Statues and Rules — Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) and Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR)
referenced in the Specifications are accessible on line, including through the Oregon
Legislative Counsel Committee web site and through the Oregon Secretary of State Archives
Division web site.
2. Law — In each case, unless otherwise expressly stated therein, the Law is to be understood to
be the current version in effect. This also applies where a specific Law is referenced or cited,
regardless of whether the text of the Law has been included in the Specifications or not, and
regardless of whether the text of the Law has been summarized or paraphrased. In each case,
the current version of the Law is applicable under any Contract. The reader is therefore
cautioned to check the actual text of the Law to confirm that the text included in the
Specifications has not been modified or superseded.
3. Permits - Orders and Permits issued by a Government agency may be modified during the
course of performing the Work under a Contract. Therefore, wherever the term "Order" or
"Permit" is used in the Specifications, it is intended to refer to the then-current version. That
version may be embodied in a modified, superseding order or permit, or it may consist of all
terms and conditions of prior orders or permits that have not been superseded, as well as the
additional terms added by amendment or supplement. In certain cases, the orders and/or
permits are identified by name in the Specifications; in other cases the terms are used in the
2
00110
generic sense. The reader is cautioned to check the text(s) of each order and permit identified
either by name or by generic reference.
4. Applicable Laws and Regulations - Where the phrase "applicable laws and regulations"
appears, it is to be understood as including all applicable laws, acts, regulations, administrative
rules, ordinances, statutes, and orders and permits issued by a governmental or regulatory
authority.
00110.10 Abbreviations - Following are meanings of abbreviations used in the Standard
Specifications, in the Special Provisions, on the Plans, and in other Contract Documents. Other
abbreviations and meanings of abbreviations may be in the individual Sections of the Standard
Specifications to which they apply, in the Special Provisions, and in OAR 731-005 and OAR 731-

have been prepared, such reports may be included in the Solicitation Documents (see Special
Provisions) and shall be considered as part of the Contract Documents to the extent that the
Contractor may rely upon the accuracy of the technical data contained in such reports. If the
Agency has retained subsurface samples, they will also be available for inspection. Bidders and the
Contractor may make arrangements for viewing the samples through the Engineer's office.
The availability of subsurface information from the Agency is solely for the convenience of the
Bidder and shall not relieve the Bidder or the Contractor of any risk, duty to make examinations and
19
00120
investigations as required by 00120.15, or other responsibility under the Contract Documents. It is
mutually agreed to by all parties that:
A. The subsurface investigations made by the Agency are for the purpose of obtaining data for
planning and design of the Project
B. The data for individual test boring logs apply only to that particular boring and is not intended
to be conclusive as to the character of any material between or around test borings.
C. If Bidders use this information in preparing a Bid, it is used at their own risk, and Bidders are
responsible for all conclusions, deductions, and inferences drawn from this information.
D. Contractor may not rely upon or make any claim against Owner or Engineer, or any of their
officers, directors, members, partners, employees, consultants, or subcontractors with respect to
any Contractor interpretation of or conclusion drawn from any technical data or any such other
data, interpretations, opinions, or information
00120.30 Changes to Plans, Specifications, or Quantities before Opening of Bids - The Agency
reserves the right to issue Addenda making changes or corrections to the Plans, Specifications, or
quantities. Only holders of Solicitation Documents obtained from the Agency's office who have
been identified by the Agency as Holders of Bidding Plans will be notified of these Addenda by e-
mail, or delivery service, sent to the Bidder's address as it appears in the Agency's files.
The Agency may extend Bid Closing if Agency determines prospective Bidders need additional time
to review and respond to Addenda. Agency will not, except to the extent required by a
countervailing public interest, issue Addenda less than 72 hours before Bid Closing unless the
Addendum also extends Bid Closing.
Bidders shall acknowledge Addenda by submitting the "Acknowledgment of Addendum" in the Bid
Booklet with their Bids. The Agency will not be responsible for failure of Bidders to receive
Addenda sent as described in the preceding paragraph. Bids shall incorporate all Addenda. Bids may
be rejected if opened and found by the Agency to not be based on all Addenda issued before Bid
Closing.
00120.40 Preparation of Bids:

20
00120
B. Bid Schedule Entries:
1. Bid Schedule Entries - Using figures, Bidders shall fill in all blank spaces in the Bid Schedule.
For each item in the Bid Schedule, Bidders shall enter the unit price and the product of the
unit price multiplied by the quantity given. The unit price shall be greater than zero, shall
contain no more than two decimal places to the right of the decimal point, and shall be
expressed in U.S. dollars and cents (for example, $150.25 or $0.37). Unit prices submitted
which contain more than two decimal places, will be truncated by the Agency at the second
decimal place to determine the product of the unit price and quantity. No rounding will be
considered or paid. Bidders Bid shall also enter the total amount of the Bid obtained by
adding amounts for all items in the Bid Schedule. Corrections or changes of item entries shall
be in ink, with incorrect entry lined out and correct entry entered and initialed in ink by the
person signing the Bid.
C. Bidder's Address and Signature Pages - Bidders shall include in the Bid the address to which all
communications concerning the Bid and Contract should be sent. The Bid must be signed by a
duly authorized representative of the Bidder.
D. Bid Guaranty- All Bids shall be accompanied by a Bid guaranty in the amount of 10% of the
total amount of the Bid.
1. Bid Guaranty - The Bid guaranty shall be either a Surety bond, irrevocable letter of credit
issued by an insured institution as defined in ORS 706.008 or security in the form of a
cashier's check or certified check made payable to the Agency. (see ORS 279C.365(4))

Oregon.
• Forfeiture of Bid guaranties is covered by 00130.60, and return of guaranties is covered
by 00130.70.
E. Disclosure of First-Tier Subcontractors - If the Bidder's Bid exceeds $100,000 or without
regard to the amount of a Bidder's Bid, if the Agency's cost estimate for a public improvement
project as indicated in the Advertisement for Bids exceeds $100,000, the Bidder shall, within 2
working hours of the time Bids are due to be submitted, submit to the Agency, on a form
provided by the Agency, a disclosure identifying any first-tier Subcontractors that will furnish
labor or labor and Materials, and whose contract value is equal to or greater than:
1. 5% of the total Project Bid, but at least $15,000; or
2. $350,000, regardless of the percentage of the total Project Bid.
21
00120
For each Subcontractor listed, Bidders shall state:
1. The name of the Subcontractor;
2. The dollar amount of the subcontract; and
3. The category of Work that the Subcontractor would be performing.
If no subcontracts subject to the above disclosure requirements are anticipated, a Bidder shall so
indicate by entering "NONE" or by filling in the appropriate check box. For each
Subcontractor listed, Bidders shall provide all requested information. An incomplete form will
be cause for rejection of the Bid.
The Subcontractor Disclosure Form may be submitted for a Bid either:
• By filling out the Subcontractor Disclosure Form included in the Bid Booklet and submitting
it together with the Bid at the time and place designated for receipt of Bids;
• By removing it from the Bid Booklet, filling it out and submitting it separately to the Agency
at the address given in the Bid Booklet.
Subcontractor Disclosure Forms submitted by any method will be considered late if not received
by the Agency within two 2 working hours of the time designated for receiving Bids.
In the event that multiple Subcontractor Disclosure Forms are submitted, the last version received
prior to the deadline will be considered to be the intended version.
THE AGENCY MUST REJECT A BID IF THE BIDDER FAILS TO SUBMIT THE
DISCLOSURE FORM WITH THIS INFORMAITON BY THE STATED DEADLINE (see
OAR 137-049-0360).
00120.45 Submittal of Bids:
A. Bids shall be submitted by mail, parcel delivery service, or hand delivery to the Agency, in the
manner and at the times given in the Special Provisions. Submit Bids in a sealed envelope. If a
delivery or courier service is used, the Bidder shall place the sealed envelope containing the Bid
inside the delivery or courier service's envelope.
Bids submitted after Bid Closing time will not be opened or considered. The Agency assumes no
responsibility for the receipt and return of late Bids.
Preparation and submission of Bids is at the sole risk and expense of the Bidder and is not a cost
of Contract performance.
B. All Bid material submitted by Bidder shall become the property of the Agency and is public
record unless otherwise specified. A Bid that contains any information that is considered trade
secret under ORS 192.501(2) should be segregated and clearly identified as such. This
information will be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed except in accordance with the
22
00120
Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192. The above restrictions may not include cost or price
information, which must be open to public inspection.
00120.60 Modification or Withdrawal of Bids:
A. Modification- Bids once submitted may be modified in writing prior to the time and date set for
Bid Closing and submitted to the place designated for receipt of Bids. Any modifications shall be
prepared on the company letterhead, signed by an authorized representative, and state that the
new document supersedes or modifies the prior Bid. The Bid modification shall be delivered in a
sealed envelope and shall be marked as follows:
BID MODIFICATION
Bid Title and Closing Date and Time
B. Withdrawal - Bids may be withdrawn by written notification on company letterhead signed by
an authorized representative and received prior to the time and date set for Bid Closing and
submitted to the place designated for receipt of Bids. Bids also may be withdrawn in person prior
to the scheduled Bid Closing upon presentation of appropriate identification.
Requests to withdraw Bids shall be marked as follows:
BID WITHDRAWAL
Bid Title and Closing Date and Time
No Bid can be withdrawn after having been opened.
00120.65 Opening and Comparing Bids - Bids will be opened and the total price for each Bid will
be read publicly at the time and place indicated in the Advertisement for Bids. Bidders and other
interested parties are invited to be present.
Bids for each Project will be compared on the basis of the total amount of each Bid. The total
amount of the Bid will be the total sum computed from quantities listed in the Bid Schedule and unit
prices entered by the Bidder.
In case of conflict between the unit price and the corresponding extended amount, the unit price
shall govern, and the Agency may make arithmetic corrections on extension amounts.
Error(s) discovered after Bid opening cannot be corrected by the Bidder and the contractor will be
required to perform work at the unit price if its Bid is accepted.
00120.67 Bid Mistakes:
A. General - Under extraordinary circumstances, a Bid may be withdrawn after the deadline for
submittal because of an inadvertent nonjudgmental mistake. If the mistake is attributable to an
error in judgment, the Bid may not be withdrawn or corrected. Correction or withdrawal by
23
00120
reason of nonjudgmental mistake is permissible but only to the extent it is not contrary to the
interest of the Agency or the fair treatment of other Bidders.
B. Mistakes Discovered after Bid Closing but before Award- This section applies to situations
where mistakes in Bids are discovered after the submission deadline but before Award.
1. Minor Informalities - Minor informalities are matters of form rather than substance that are
evident from the Bid Documents, or insignificant mistakes that can be waived or corrected
promptly without prejudice to other Bidders or the Agency; that is, the informality does not
affect price, quantity, quality, delivery, or contractual conditions except in the case of
informalities involving unit prices. Examples include, but are not limited to, the failure of a
Bidder to:
a) Return the number of signed Bids or number of other documents required by the Bid
Documents;
b) Sign the Bid Form in the designated block so long the Bid Documents evidence an intent
to be bound; or
c) Acknowledge receipt of an Addendum to the Bid Documents, but only if:
d) It is clear from the Bid that the Bidder received the Addendum and intended to be bound
by its terms; or
e) The Addendum involved did not affect price, quantity, quality, or delivery.
C. Mistakes Where Intended Correct Bid is Evident - If the mistake and the intended correct Bid
are clearly on the face of the Bid Form, or can be substantiated from accompanying documents,
the Agency may accept the Bid. Examples of mistakes that may be clearly evident on the face of
the Bid Form are typographical errors, errors in extending unit prices, transposition errors, and
arithmetical errors. Mistakes that are clearly evident on the face of the Bid Form also may
include instances in which the intended correct Bid is made clearly evident by simple arithmetic
calculations. For example, a missing unit price may be established by dividing the total Bid or
proposal item by the quantity of units for that item, and a missing or incorrect total Bid price for
an item may be established by multiplying the unit price by the quantity when those figures are
available on the Bid. For discrepancies between unit prices and extended prices, unit prices shall
normally prevail.
D. Mistakes Where Intended Correct Bid is Not Evident - The Agency may not accept a Bid in
which a mistake is clearly evident on the face of the Bid Form but the intended correct Bid is not
clearly evident or cannot be substantiated from accompanying documents.
00120.68 Low Tie Bids:
A. Definition - Low tie Bids are low responsive Bids from responsible Bidders that are identical in
price, fitness, availability and quality and which meet all the requirements and criteria set forth in
the Bid Documents.
B. Award: If low tie Bids are received, a preference shall be given to goods and services that have
been manufactured or produced in Oregon.
24
00120
1. If the bids remain tied after application, preference shall be given to the Bidder whose
principal offices or headquarters are located in Oregon.
2. If the Bids remain tied after application and Subsections a, the Award shall be made by
drawing lots among any tied Oregon Bidders. Such Bidders shall be given notice and an
opportunity to be present when the lots are drawn.
3. If there are no Oregon Bidders after application and subsections a and b, Award of the
contract shall be made by drawing lots.
00120.70 Rejection of Nonresponsive Bids -A Bid will be considered irregular and will be rejected
if the irregularity is deemed by the Agency to render the Bid non-responsive. Examples of
irregularities include without limitation:
A. The Bid Section documents provided are not properly used or contain unauthorized alterations.
B. The Bid is incomplete or incorrectly completed.
C. The Bid contains improper additions, deletions, alternate Bids, or conditions.
D. The Bid is submitted on documents not obtained directly from the Agency, or is submitted by a
Bidder who has not been identified by the Agency as a Holder of Bidding Plans, as required by
00120.05.
E. The Bid or Bid modifications are not signed by a person authorized to submit Bids or modify
Bids, as required by 00120.40 and
F. A member of a joint venture and the joint venture submit Bids for the same Project. Both Bids
may be rejected.
G. The Bid has entries not typed or in ink, or has signatures or initials not in ink.
H. Each change or correction is not individually initialed.
I. White-out tape or white-out liquid is used to correct item entries.
J. The price per unit cannot be determined.
K. The Bid guaranty is insufficient or improper.
L. The original Bid Bond form is not used or is altered.
M. The Oregon Construction Contractors Board registration number and expiration date are not
shown on the Bid if required in the Solicitation Document. This requirement applies to Agency
and State-funded Projects, with the exception of Aggregate production and landscape Projects.
(not required on Federal-Aid Projects)
N. A disclosure of qualified first-tier Subcontractors, if required under 00120.40(f), is not received
within 2 working hours of the time Bids are due to be submitted, or the disclosure form is not
complete.
O. The Bidder has not complied with the DBE requirements of the solicitation.
P. The Bid does not acknowledge all issued Addenda.
Q. The Bid contains entries that are not greater than zero.
R. The Bid entries are not expressed in U.S. dollars and cents.
S. The Agency determines that any Pay Item is significantly unbalanced to the potential detriment
of the Agency
In addition, the Agency may reject all Bids and suspend the project in the event all Bids exceed the
funds the Agency has appropriated for the project or for good cause upon its finding that it is in the
public interest to do so. The Agency may also waive minor informalities or irregularities.
25
00120
00120.80 Reciprocal Preference for Oregon Resident Bidders - This Subsection applies only to
Contracts for Projects financed without federal funds.
Bidders shall complete the certificate of residency provided by the Agency in the Bid Booklet.
Failure to properly complete the form will be cause to reject the Bid.
As used in the certificate of residency and this Subsection, "Resident Bidder" means a Bidder who
has:
A. Paid unemployment taxes or income taxes in the State of Oregon during any of the 12 calendar
months immediately preceding submission of the Bid;
B. A business address in the State of Oregon; and
C. Certified in the Bid that the Bidder qualifies as a Resident Bidder
"Nonresident Bidder" means a Bidder who is not a Resident Bidder as defined above.
In determining the lowest Bid, the Agency will, for the purpose of awarding the Contract, add a
percentage increase to the Bid of a Nonresident Bidder equal to the percentage, if any, of the
preference given to that Bidder in the state in which the Bidder resides (ORS 279A.120). The
percentage preference applied in each state will be published on or before January 1 of each year by
the Oregon Department of Administrative Services. The Agency may rely on these percentages
without incurring liability to any Bidder (ORS 279A.120).
This increase will only be applied to determine the lowest Bid, and will not cause an increase in
payment to the Contractor after Award of the Contract.
00120.90 Disqualification of Bidders - The Bid(s) of a disqualified Bidder will be rejected. Any of
the following reasons is sufficient to disqualify a Bidder:
A. More than one Bid is submitted for the same Work by an Entity under the same or different
name(s).
B. Evidence of collusion among Bidders. Participants in collusion will be found not responsible,
and may be subject to criminal prosecution.
C. Any of the grounds for disqualification cited in ORS 279C.440.
A Bidder will be disqualified if the Bidder has:
A. Not been prequalified if required by 00120.02;
B. Been declared ineligible by the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries under
ORS 279C.860;
C. Not been registered (licensed) by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) or been
licensed by the State Landscape Contractors Board before submitting a Bid (ORS 279C.365(1)(k),
ORS 701.021, ORS 701.026, and ORS 671.530). The Bidder's registration number and expiration
date shall be shown in the Bid form, if requested. Failure to furnish the registration number, if
requested, will render the Bid non-responsive and subject to rejection. (not required on Federal-
Aid projects); or
26
00120
D. Been determined by the CCB under ORS 701.227 not to be qualified to hold or participate in a
public contract for a public improvement.
00120.91 Rejection of Bid on Grounds of Nonresponsibility of Bidder - The Bid of a Bidder who
is found to be nonresponsible according to the criteria listed in 00130.10 or ORS 279C.375(3) will be
rejected.
27
00130
Section 00130 - Award and Execution of Contract
00130.00 Consideration of Bids - After opening and reading Bids, the Agency will check them for
correct extensions of unit prices and totals. (see 00120.65) The total of extensions, corrected where
necessary, will be used by the Agency for Award purposes. Discrepancies between words and figures
will be resolved in favor of words. In selecting the lowest responsive Bid, the Agency reserves the
right to take into consideration any or all alternatives called for in the Bid Form.
The Agency reserves the right to waive minor informalities and irregularities, and to reject any or all
Bids for irregularities under 00120.70 or for good cause after finding that it is in the public interest to
do so (ORS 279C.395). An example of good cause for rejection in the public interest is the Agency's
determination that any of the unit Bid prices are materially unbalanced to the Agency's potential
detriment. A materially unbalanced Bid is defined as, "a Bid which generates a reasonable doubt that
award to the Bidder submitting a mathematically unbalanced Bid will result in the lowest cost to the
Agency." The Agency may correct obvious errors, when the correct information can be determined
from the face of the document, if it finds that the best interest of the Agency and the public will be
served thereby.
00130.10 Award of Contract- After the Bids are opened and a determination is made that a
Contract is to be awarded, the Contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible Bidder. For the
purposes of this Section, "lowest responsible Bidder" means the responsible Bidder that submitted
the lowest responsive Bid who is not on the list created by the Construction Contractors Board
according to ORS 701, and who has:
A. Substantially complied with all prescribed public bidding procedures and requirements.
B. Available the appropriate financial, Materials, Equipment, facility and personnel resources and
expertise, or ability to obtain the resources and expertise, necessary to indicate the capability of
the prospective Bidder to meet all contractual responsibilities.
C. A satisfactory record of performance. In evaluating a Bidder's record of performance, the
Agency may consider, among other things, whether the Bidder completed previous contracts of a
similar nature with a satisfactory record of performance. For purposes of evaluating a Bidder's
performance on previous contracts of a similar nature, a satisfactory record of performance
means that to the extent that the costs associated with and time available to perform a previous
contract remained within the Bidder's control, the Bidder stayed within the time and budget
allotted for the procurement and otherwise performed the contract in a satisfactory manner.
D. A satisfactory record of integrity. In evaluating a Bidder's record of integrity, the Agency may
consider, among other things, whether the Bidder has previous criminal convictions for offenses
related to obtaining or attempting to obtain a contract or subcontract or in connection with the
Bidder's performance of a contract or subcontract.
E. Qualified legally to contract with the Agency.
F. Supplied all necessary information in connection with the Agency's inquiry concerning
responsibility. If a prospective Bidder fails to promptly supply information requested by the
Agency concerning responsibility, the Agency shall base the determination of responsibility
upon any available information, or may find the prospective Bidder not to be responsible.
G. Not been disqualified by the public contracting agency under ORS 279C.440.
28
00130
If the Bidder is found not to have a satisfactory record of performance or integrity, the Agency will
document the record and the reasons for the unsatisfactory finding.
The Agency will mail the Notice of Intent to Award to the Bidders, and may provide Notice of
Intent to Award on the Agency's web site.
The Award will not be final until the later of the following:
A. Seven working days after the Notice of Intent to Award has been posted as specified in the
advertised solicitation or Addendum thereto; or
B. The Agency has provided a written response to each timely protest, denying the protest and
affirming the Award.
If the Agency accepts a Bid and awards a Contract, the Agency will send the successful Bidder
written notice of acceptance and Award.
Notice of Award and Contract booklets ready for execution will be sent within 60 Calendar Days of
the opening of Bids or within the number of Calendar Days specified in the Special Provisions or a
written mutual agreement between successful Bidder and Agency.
The Contractor will not automatically be entitled to extra compensation because the
commencement of Work is delayed by failure of the Agency to send the Contract for execution.
However, if more Calendar Days elapse between the date the Bid is opened and the date the Agency
sends the Contract to be executed, as specified in 00130.10, the Agency will consider granting an
adjustment of time for completion of the Work to offset any actual delay to Contract completion
resulting directly from delay in commencement.
00130.15 Right to Protest Award - Adversely affected or aggrieved Bidders, limited to the three
apparent lowest Bidders and any other Bidder directly in line for Contract Award, may submit to
the Agency a written protest of the Agency's intent to Award within seven Calendar days following
the date of the Notice of Intent to Award. The protest shall specify the grounds upon which it is
based.
An aggrieved Bidder may protest an award only if the Bidder alleges, in its written protest, that it
should have received the award because:
A. All lower Bids are non-responsive;
B. The Agency failed to conduct the Bid process as described in the Bid Document;
C. The Agency has abused its discretion in rejecting the protestor's Bid as non-responsive or non-
responsible; or
D. The Agency's evaluation of Bids or subsequent determination of award is otherwise in violation
of ORS Chapters 279A and 279C or the Agency's public contracting rules.
The written protest must describe the facts that support the protest. The Agency may not consider
late protests or protests that do not describe facts that would support a finding that the Bidder is
aggrieved for one of the reasons in clauses A through D above.
29
00130
00130.20 Cancellation of Award-Without liability to the Agency, the Agency may for good cause
cancel Award at any time before the Contract is executed by all parties to the Contract, as provided
by ORS 279C.395 for rejection of Bids, upon finding it is in the public interest to do so.
00130.30 Contract Booklet- The Contract booklet may include but is not limited to:
A. Public Improvement Contract
B. Performance Bond
C. Payment Bond
D. Prevailing Wage Rates
E. Special Provisions
00130.40 Contract Submittals -Before the Agency will execute the Contract, the successful Bidder
shall furnish the following:
A. Performance and Payment Bonds -When Awarded the Contract, the successful Bidder shall
furnish a Performance Bond and a Payment Bond of a Surety authorized to do business in the
State of Oregon.
The successful Bidder shall submit the standard bond forms, which are bound in the Contract
Booklet or alternative bond forms acceptable to the Agency. Faxed or photocopied bond forms
will not be accepted. The amount of each bond shall be equal to the Contract Amount. The
Performance Bond and the Payment Bond must be signed by the Surety's authorized Attorney-
in-Fact, and the Surety's seal must be affixed to each bond. A power of attorney for the
Attorney-in-Fact shall be attached to the bonds in the Contract booklet, which must include
bond numbers, and the Surety's original seal must be affixed to the power of attorney. Bonds
shall not be canceled without the Agency's consent, nor will the Agency normally release them,
prior to Contract completion. The amount of the Performance and Payment Bonds shall be
increased to equal the new Contract Amount whenever the Contract Amount is increased for
any reason.
B. Certificates of Insurance - The successful Bidder shall furnish the Agency certificates of
insurance applicable to the Project, according to the Public Improvement Contract.
For specified Contracts, certified copies, and in some instances the original, of insurance policies
may be required by the Special Provisions.
C. Registration Requirements:
1. ORS 701.021, ORS 701.026, and ORS 671.530 require that Bidders be registered with the
Oregon Construction Contractors Board or licensed by the State Landscape Contractors
Board prior to submission of a Bid on a Project not involving federal funds. Registration
with the Construction Contractors Board or licensing by the State Landscape Contractors
Board is not a prerequisite to bidding on Federal-Aid Projects; however, the Agency will not
execute a Contract until the Contractor is so registered or licensed.
30
00130
2. Bidders must be registered with the Corporation Division, Oregon Secretary of State, if
bidding as a corporation, limited liability company, joint venture, or limited liability
partnership, or if operating under an assumed business name and the legal name of each
person carrying on the business is not included in the business name.
3. A Contractor registered under ORS 701 may bid on a landscaping Project or perform a
construction project that includes landscape contracting as a portion of the project if the
landscape contracting is subcontracted to a licensed landscaping business as defined in
ORS 671.520.
4. A landscaping business may bid on a Project or perform a Contract that includes the phase of
landscape contracting for which it is not licensed if it employs a landscape contractor, or
subcontracts with another licensed landscaping business, licensed for that phase.
D. Tax Identification Number - The successful Bidder shall furnish the Agency the Bidder's
Federal Tax Identification Number.
00130.50 Execution of Contract and Bonds:
A. By the Bidder - The successful Bidder shall deliver the required number of Contract booklets
with the properly executed Contract, Performance Bond, Payment Bond, certification of
workers' compensation coverage, and the required certificates of insurance, to the Agency
within 10 Calendar Days after the date on which the Contract booklets are sent or otherwise
conveyed to the Bidder under 00130.10. The Bidder shall return the originals of all documents
received from the Agency and named in this Subsection, with original signatures. Certificates of
insurance shall also be originals. No copies of these documents will be accepted by the Agency.
Proper execution requires that:
1. If the Contractor is a partnership, limited liability partnership, joint venture, or limited
liability company, an authorized representative of each Entity comprising it shall sign the
Contract, Performance Bond, and Payment Bond, and an authorization to sign shall be
attached.
2. If the Contractor is a corporation, the President and the Secretary of that corporation shall
sign the Contract, Performance Bond, and Payment Bond. However, if other corporate
officers are authorized to execute contracts and bonds, the successful Bidder shall furnish with
those documents a certified, true and correct copy of the corporate bylaws or minutes stating
that authority. If only one officer is signing, then the bylaws or minutes must include the
authority to sign without the signature of others. The successful Bidder shall also include the
title(s) or corporate office(s) held by the signer(s).
B. By the Agency - Within 10 Working Days after the Agency has received and verified the
properly executed documents specified in 00130.50A, and received legal sufficiency approval
from the Agency's attorney (if required), the Agency will execute the Contract. The Agency will
31
00130
then send a fully-executed original Contract booklet to the successful Bidder, who then officially
becomes the Contractor.
00130.60 Failure to Execute Contract and Bonds - Failure of the successful Bidder to execute the
Contract and provide the required certificates, certifications, and bonds may be cause for cancellation
of the Award, and may be cause for forfeiture of the Bid guaranty under ORS 279C.385.
Award may then be made to the next lowest responsible Bidder, the Project may be re-advertised, or
the Work may be performed otherwise as the Agency decides.
The forfeited Bid guaranty will become the Agency's property, not as a penalty but as liquidation of
damages resulting from the Bidder's failure to execute the Contract and provide the certificates,
certifications, and bonds as required by these Specifications.
00130.70 Release of Bid Guaranties - Bid guaranties will be released and checks returned
7 Calendar Days after Bids are opened, except for those of the three apparent lowest Bidders on each

unsuccessful Bidders within 7 days of the Agency's execution of the Contract.
00130.80 Project Site Restriction - Until the Agency sends the Contractor written Notice to

Specifications, or established by the Engineer is considered to be the compacted thickness. Minor
variations are acceptable when within tolerances specified in the Specifications or Plans, or when
approved by the Engineer.
00140.30 Agency-Required Changes in the Work- Changes to the Plans, quantities, or details of
construction are inherent in the nature of construction and may be necessary or desirable during the
course of Project construction.
Without impairing the Contract, the Agency reserves the right to require changes it deems necessary
or desirable within the scope, which in the Specifications means general scope, of the Project. These
changes may modify, without limitation:
A. Specifications and design
B. Grade and alignment
C. Cross Sections and thicknesses of Courses of Materials
D. Method or manner of performance of Work
E. Project Limits
or may result in
A. Increases and decreases in quantities
B. Additional Work
C. Elimination of any Contract item of Work
D. Acceleration or delay in performance of Work
Upon receipt of a Change Order, the Contractor shall perform the Work as modified by the Change
Order. If the Change Order increases the Contract Amount, the Contractor shall notify its Surety
of the increase and direct the Surety to increase the amount of the performance and payment bonds
33
00140
to equal the new Contract Amount. If requested, the Contractor shall provide the Agency with a
copy of the modified bond documents within 15 calendar days of receipt of the Change Order. The
Contractor's performance of Work according to Change Orders shall neither invalidate the Contract
nor release the Surety. Payment for changes in the Work will be made according to 00195.20.
Contract Time adjustments, if any, will be made according to 00180.80. A Change Order signed by
the Contractor is the agreement that the adjustment in the Contract Amount or Contract Time
indicated is full compensation for all change order items including the impact of the change order on
the balance of the Work to be accomplished.
00140.40 Differing Site Conditions - The following constitute differing Project Site conditions
provided such conditions are discovered at the Project Site after commencement of the Work:
A. Type 1 - Subsurface or latent physical conditions that could not have been discovered by careful
examination of the Project site, utility locations and available records as described in 00120.15
and that differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents; or
B. Type 2 - Unknown physical conditions of unusual nature that differ materially from those
ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the Work provided for in the
Contract.
The party discovering such a condition shall promptly notify the other party, in writing, of the
specific differing conditions before they are disturbed and before the affected Work is performed.
The Contractor shall not continue Work in the affected area until the Engineer has inspected such
condition according to 00195.30 to determine whether an adjustment to Contract Amount or
Contract Time is required.
Payment adjustments due to differing Project Site conditions, if any, will be made according
to 00195.30. Contract Time adjustments, if any, will be made according to 00180.80.
00140.50 Environmental Pollution Changes - ORS 279C.525 will apply to any increases in the
scope of the Work required as a result of environmental or natural resources laws enacted or
amended after the submission of Bids for the Contract. The Contractor shall comply with the
applicable notice and other requirements of ORS 2790.525. The applicable rights and remedies of
that statute will also apply.
In addition to ORS 279C.525, the Agency has compiled a list at 00170.01 of those federal, State, and
local agencies, of which the Agency has knowledge, that have enacted ordinances, rules, or
regulations dealing with the prevention of environmental pollution and the preservation of natural
resources that may affect the performance of Agency contracts.
00140.60 Extra Work-If directed by the Engineer's written order, the Contractor shall perform
work not included in the Contract. The Contractor shall perform this work according to:
A. Standard Specifications
B. Standard Drawings
C. Other Plans and Specifications issued by the Engineer
34
00140
Payment for Extra Work will be made according to Section 00196. Contract Time adjustments, if
any, will be made according to 00180.80.
00140.65 Disputed Work- The Contractor may dispute any part of a Change Order, written order,
or an oral order from the Engineer by the procedures specified in Section 00199.
00140.70 Cost Reduction Proposals - The Contractor may submit written proposals to the
Engineer that modify Plans, Specifications, or other Contract Documents for the sole purpose of
reducing the total cost of construction. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Agency, a
proposal that is solely or primarily a proposal to reduce estimated quantities or delete Work, as
determined by the Engineer, is not eligible for consideration as a cost reduction proposal and will
instead be addressed under 00140.30, whether proposed or suggested by the Agency or the
Contractor.
A. Proposal Requirements - The Agency will not adopt a cost reduction proposal that impairs
essential functions or characteristics of the Project including but not limited to service life,
economy of operation, ease of maintenance, designed appearance, or design and safety standards.
To conserve time and funds, the Contractor may first submit a written request for a feasibility
review by the Engineer. The request should contain a description of the proposal together with a
rough estimate of anticipated dollar and time savings. The Engineer will, within a reasonable
time, advise the Contractor in writing whether or not the proposal would be considered by the
Agency, should the Contractor elect to submit a detailed cost reduction proposal.
A detailed cost reduction proposal shall include without limitation the following information:
1. A description of existing Contract requirements for performing the Work and the proposed
change;
2. The Contract items of Work affected by the proposed change, including any quantity
variation caused by the proposed change;
3. Pay Items affected by the proposed change including any quantity variations;
4. A detailed cost estimate for performing the Work under the existing Contract and under the
proposed change. Cost estimates shall be made according to Section 00197. Costs of re-
design, which are incurred after the Agency has accepted the proposal, will be included in the
cost of proposed work; and
5. A date by which the Engineer must accept the proposal in order to accept the proposed
change without impacting the Contract Time or cost reduction amount.
B. Continuing to Perform Work- The Contractor shall continue to perform the Work according
to Contract requirements until the Engineer issues a Change Order incorporating the cost
reduction proposal. If the Engineer fails to issue a Change Order by the date specified in the
proposal, the proposal shall be deemed rejected.
C. Consideration of Proposal - The Engineer is not obligated to consider any cost reduction
proposal. The Agency will not be liable to the Contractor for failure to accept or act upon any
cost reduction proposal submitted.
35
00140
The Engineer will determine in its sole discretion whether to accept a cost reduction proposal as
well as the estimated net savings in construction costs from the adoption of all or any part of the
proposal. In determining the estimated net savings, the Engineer may disregard the Schedule of
Items. The Engineer will establish prices that represent a fair measure of the value of Work to be
performed or to be deleted as a result of the cost reduction proposal.
D. Sharing Investigation Costs - As a condition for considering a Contractor's cost reduction
proposal, the Agency reserves the right to require the Contractor to share in the Agency's costs
of investigating the proposal. If the Agency exercises this right, the Contractor shall provide
written acceptance of the condition to the Engineer. Such acceptance will authorize the Agency
to deduct its share of investigation costs from payments due or that may become due to the
Contractor under the Contract.
E. Acceptance of Proposal Requirements - If the Contractor's cost reduction proposal is accepted
in whole or in part, acceptance will be made by a Change Order that will include without
limitation the following:
1. Statement that the Change Order is made according to 00140.70;
2. Revised Contract Documents that reflect all modifications necessary to implement the
approved cost reduction measures;
3. Any conditions upon which the Agency's approval is subject;
4. Estimated net savings in construction costs attributable to the approved cost reduction
measures; and
5. A payment provision according to which the Contractor will be paid 50% of the estimated
net savings amount as full and adequate consideration for performance of the Work of the
Change Order.
The Contractor's cost of preparing the cost reduction proposal and the Agency's costs of
investigating the proposal, including any portion paid by the Contractor, will be excluded from
determination of the estimated net savings in construction costs. Costs of re-design, which are
incurred after the Agency has accepted the proposal, will be included in the cost of the Work
attributable to cost reduction measures.
If the Agency accepts the cost reduction proposal, the Change Order that authorizes the cost
reduction measures will also address any Contract Time adjustment.
F. Right to General Use - Once submitted, the cost reduction proposal becomes the property of
the Agency. The Agency reserves the right to adopt the cost reduction proposal for general use
without additional compensation to the Contractor when it determines that a proposal is suitable
for application to other contracts.
00140.80 Use of Publicly Owned Equipment- The Contractor is prohibited from using publicly-
owned Equipment except in the case of emergency. In an emergency, the Contractor may rent
publicly-owned Equipment provided that:
36
00140
A. The Engineer provides written approval that states that such rental is in the public interest; and
B. Rental does not increase the Project cost.
00140.90 Final Trimming and Cleanup -Before Final Inspection as described in 00150.90, the
Contractor shall neatly trim and finish the Project and remove all remaining unincorporated
Materials and debris. Final trimming and cleanup shall include without limitation the following:
A. The Contractor shall retrim and reshape earthwork, and shall repair deteriorated portions of the
Project Site.
B. Where the Work has impacted existing facilities or devices, the Contractor shall restore or
replace those facilities to their pre-existing condition.
C. The Contractor shall clean all drainage facilities and sanitary sewers of excess Materials or debris
resulting from the Work.
D. The Contractor shall clean up and leave in a neat, orderly condition, Rights-of-Way, Materials
sites, and other property occupied in connection with performance of the Work.
E. The Contractor shall remove temporary buildings, construction plants, forms, falsework and
scaffolding, surplus and discarded Materials, and rubbish.
F. The Contractor shall dispose of Materials and debris including without limitation forms,
falsework, scaffolding, and rubbish resulting from clearing, grubbing, trimming, clean-up,
removal, and other Work. These Materials and debris become the property of the Contractor.
The Contractor shall dispose of these Materials and debris immediately.
G. The Contractor shall restore and replant or resurface adjoining properties to match existing
grades and existing surfaces.
H. The Contractor shall install erosion and sediment control needed to stabilize the Project site.
Unless the Contract specifically provides for payment for this item, the Agency will make no
separate or additional payment for final trimming and cleanup.
00140.95 "AS-BUILT" Drawings - The Contractor shall maintain a current and accurate record of
Work completed during the course of this Contract and make available to the Engineer updated
copies of the project "As-Builts" for Engineer's review at any time. These "As-Builts" drawings shall
be kept by accurately marking a designated set of the Contract plans with the specified information
as Work proceeds. Accurate, complete and current "As-Built" drawings are a specified requirement
for monthly progress payments of the Work completed. "As-Builts" shall be reviewed for
completeness before recommendation of payment is granted. Incomplete or insufficient "As-Builts"
will be returned to the Contractor and recommendation for progress payment denied. At project
completion and as a condition of final payment, the Contractor shall deliver an acceptable complete
and legible set of"As-Built" drawings to the Engineer.
The "As-Built" drawings shall show the information listed below. Where the term "locate" or
"location" is used, it shall mean record of position with respect to both the construction vertical
datum and either construction horizontal datum or a nearby permanent improvement.
A. As-built location of underground and surface services and utilities as installed
B. As-built location of existing underground and surface utilities and services that are to remain and
that are encountered during the course of the Work
37
00140
C. As-built changes in dimension, location, grade or detail to that shown on plans
D. As-built changes made by change order
E. As-built details not in original plans
F. As-built fully completed shop drawings reflecting all revisions
Upon completion of the construction, the Contractor shall review and certify the construction set of
"As-Built" drawings for completeness and accuracy of representation of any changes. Final payment
will not be processed until "As-Built" drawings have been submitted and approved.

to the Engineer. The Engineer will respond within a reasonable time. Contract clarification or
interpretation obtained from persons other than the Engineer.
Work performed under the Contract will not be considered complete until it has passed Final
Inspection by the Engineer and has been accepted by the Agency.
Interim approvals issued by the Engineer, including but not limited to Final Acceptance, will not
discharge the Contractor from responsibility for errors in prosecution of the Work, for improper
fabrication, for failure to comply with Contract requirements, or for other deficiencies, the nature of
which are within the Contractor's control.
The Engineer shall have the authority to appoint Inspectors and other personnel as required to assist
in the administration of the Contract.
The authority stated in this subsection is subject to the individuals delegated authority by the
Agency. If the individual does not have the state authority, the subsection reference shall include
Agency personnel that have such authority.
00150.02 Inspector's Authority and Duties - To the extent delegated under 00150.01, Inspectors
are authorized to represent the Engineer and Project Manager to perform the following:
A. Inspect Work performed and Materials furnished, including without limitation, the preparation,
fabrication, or manufacture of Materials to be used;
B. Orally reject defective Materials and to confirm such rejection in writing;
C. By oral order, temporarily suspend the Work for improper prosecution pending the Engineer's
decision; and
39
00150
D. Exercise additional delegated authority.
Inspectors are not authorized to:
A. Accept Work or Materials.
B. Alter or waive provisions of the Contract.
C. Give instructions or advice inconsistent with the Contract Documents.
00150.10 Coordination of Contract Documents - The Contract Documents, including but not
limited to Contract Change Orders, the Special Provisions, the Plans, and the Standard Specifications
are intended to collectively describe all of the items of Work necessary to complete the Project. The
Contract Documents are complementary; what is required by one is as binding as if required by all.
A. Order of Precedence - The Engineer will resolve any discrepancies between these documents in
the following order of precedence:
1. Permits from outside agencies;
2. Contract (Agreement)
3. Addenda;
4. Bid Schedule;
5. Project Drawings;
6. Standard Drawings;
7. Special Provisions;
8. General Conditions;
9. Standard Specifications;
10. Geotechnical Data Reports;
11. Reviewed and accepted, stamped Working (Shop) Drawings (including Deferred Submittals);
12. Approved Unstamped Working (Shop) Drawings.
Change Orders, Work Change Directives, Field Orders, and Engineer's written interpretation
and clarifications, in precedence listed, will take precedence over all other Contract Document
components referenced herein.
Notes on a drawing shall take precedence over drawing details. Dimensions shown on the
drawings, or that can be computed, shall take precedence over scaled dimensions. The Drawings
with the higher level of detail take precedence over less detailed Drawings.
B. Immaterial Discrepancies - The Contract Documents specify details for the construction and
completion of the Work. If Contract Documents describe portions of the Work in sufficient
detail but are silent in some minor respect, the Contractor may proceed utilizing the current best
industry practices.
C. Material Discrepancies - If the Contractor identifies a discrepancy, error, or omission in the
Contract Documents that cannot be resolved by the approach specified in B above, the
Contractor shall immediately request clarification from the Engineer
40
00150
00150.15 Construction Stakes, Lines, and Grades:
A. Agency Responsibilities - The Engineer will provide the location of the existing benchmarks
and horizontal control locations used to design the project and prepare the Plans.
B. Contractor Responsibilities - The Contractor shall:
1. Accurately measure detailed dimensions, elevations, and slopes from the Engineer's
benchmarks and horizontal control locations;
2. Provide all labor, materials and equipment to properly stake out the project so that it can be
constructed in accordance with the Contract Documents. Any changes made shall be
recorded and the changed vertical and horizontal locations incorporated into the "as-built"
drawings.
3. Inform the Engineer of any property corners monuments and/or survey markers that are not
shown on the Plans and are found during construction activities prior to disturbing the
monuments. Allow the Agency 2 Work days for referencing all found markers before they
are removed. Monuments that are noted on the Plans to be protected and are disturbed by the
Contractor's activities shall be replaced by the Contractor's surveyor at the Contractor's
expense in accordance with ORS Chapter 209.
00150.20 Inspection:
A. Inspection by the Engineer - The Engineer may test Materials furnished and inspect Work
performed by the Contractor to ensure Contract compliance. The Contractor shall notify the
Engineer 48 hours (two full Work Days) in advance for inspection of each portion of the Work.
Contractor shall not begin placing successive Courses or portions of Work until preceding
Courses or portions of the Work have been inspected and approved by the Engineer.
If the Contractor performs Work without the Engineer's inspection or uses Materials that the
Engineer has not approved, the Engineer may order affected portions of the Work removed at
the Contractor's expense.
At the Engineer's direction, any time before the Work is accepted, the Contractor shall uncover
portions of the completed Work for inspection. After inspection, the Contractor shall restore
these portions of Work to the standard required by the Contract. If the Engineer rejects Work
due to Materials or workmanship, or if the Contractor performed such Work without providing
sufficient advance request for inspection to the Engineer, the Contractor shall bear all costs of
uncovering and restoring the Work. If the Engineer accepts the uncovered Work, and the
Contractor performed the Work only after providing the Engineer with sufficient advance
notice, the costs of uncovering and restoring the Work will be paid for by the Agency according
to 00195.20.
B. Inspection Facilities - The Contractor shall furnish walkways, railings, ladders, shoring, tunnels,
platforms, and other facilities necessary to permit the Engineer to have safe access to the Work to
41
00150
be inspected. The Contractor shall require producers and fabricators to provide safe inspection
access as requested by the Engineer.
C. Sampling-When directed by the Agency, the Contractor shall furnish the Engineer with
samples of Materials that the Engineer will test. All of the Contractor's costs related to this
required sampling are Incidental.
D. Inspection by Third Parties -Where third parties have the right to inspect the Work, the
Contractor shall coordinate with the Engineer and shall provide safe inspection access.
E. Contractor's Duty to Make Corrections - The Contractor shall perform all Work according to
the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall correct Work that does not comply with the
Contract Documents at its own expense. Inspection of the Work by the Engineer does not
relieve the Contractor of responsibility for improper prosecution of the Work.
00150.25 Acceptability of Materials and Work- The Contractor shall furnish Materials and shall
perform Work in Close Conformance to the Contract Documents. If the Engineer determines that
the Materials furnished or the Work performed are not in Close Conformance with the Contract
Documents, the Engineer may:
A. Reject the Materials or Work and order the Contractor, at the Contractor's expense, to remove,
replace, or otherwise correct any non-conformity; or
B. Accept the Materials or Work as suitable for the intended purpose, adjust the amount paid for
applicable Pay Items to account for diminished cost to the Contractor or diminished value to the
Agency, document the adjustment, and provide written documentation to the Contractor
regarding the basis of the adjustment.
The Engineer's decisions concerning acceptability of Materials or Work will be final.
00150.30 Delivery of Notices -Written notices to the Contractor by the Engineer or the Agency
will be delivered:
A. In person;
B. By U.S. Postal Service certified or registered mail (return receipt requested), to the current office
address as shown in the records of the Agency; or
C. By overnight delivery service of a private industry courier, to the current office address as shown
in the records of the Agency.
Notices shall be considered as having been received by the Contractor:
A. At the time of actual receipt when delivered in person;
B. At the time of actual receipt or 7 Calendar Days after the postmarked date when deposited for
delivery by certified or registered, whichever is earlier; or
C. At the time of actual receipt or 3 Calendar Days after deposit with a private industry courier for
overnight delivery service, whichever is earlier.
42
00150

address shown in the Special Provisions, unless a different address is agreed to by the Engineer, and
shall be delivered:
A. In person;
B. By U.S. Postal Service certified or registered mail (return receipt requested); or
C. By overnight delivery service of a private industry courier.
Notices will be considered as having been received by the Agency:
A. At the time of actual receipt when delivered in person;
B. At the time of actual receipt or 7 Calendar Days after the postmarked date when deposited for
delivery by certified or registered, whichever is earlier; or
C. At the time of actual receipt or 3 Calendar Days after deposit with a private industry courier for
overnight delivery service, whichever is earlier.
00150.35 Submittals:
A. Description - Submittals covered by these requirements include manufacturers' information,
shop drawings, test procedures, test results, samples, and miscellaneous Work-related submittals.
Submittals shall also include, but not be limited to, all mechanical, electrical and electronic
equipment and systems, materials, reinforcing steel, fabricated items, and piping and conduit
details. The Contractor shall furnish all drawings, specifications, descriptive data, certificates,
samples, tests, methods, schedules, and manufacturer's installation and warranty information and
other instructions as specifically required in the Contract Documents to demonstrate fully that
the materials and equipment to be furnished and the methods of work comply with the
provisions and intent of the Contract Documents.
B. Contractor's Responsibilities
1. The Contractor shall be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information
contained in each submittal and shall assure that the material, equipment or method of work
shall be as described in the submittal. The Contractor shall verify that all features of all
products conform to the specified requirements. Submittal documents shall be clearly edited
to indicate only those items, models, or series of equipment, which are being submitted for
review. All extraneous materials shall be crossed out or otherwise obliterated. The
Contractor shall ensure that there is no conflict with other submittals and notify the
Engineer in each case where his submittal may affect the work of another contractor or the
Agency. The Contractor shall coordinate submittals among its subcontractors and suppliers
including those submittals complying with unit responsibility requirements specified in
applicable technical sections.
2. The Contractor shall coordinate submittals with the Work so that Work will not be delayed.
It shall coordinate and schedule different categories of submittals, so that one will not be
delayed for lack of coordination with another. No extension of time will be allowed because
of failure to properly schedule submittals. The Contractor shall not proceed with Work
43
00150
related to a submittal until the submittal process is complete. This requires that submittals for
review and comment shall be returned to the Contractor with the indication "No Exceptions
Taken" or "Make Corrections Noted."
3. Submittals shall be carefully reviewed by an authorized representative of the Contractor prior
to submission to the Engineer. Each submittal shall be dated and signed by the Contractor as
being correct and in strict conformance with the Contract Documents. In the case of Shop
Drawings, each sheet shall be so dated and signed. Any deviations from the Contract
Documents shall be noted by the Engineer and Agency. The Engineer will only review
submittals that have been so verified by the Contractor. Non-verified submittals will be
returned to the Contractor without action taken by the Engineer, and any delays caused
thereby shall be the total responsibility of the Contractor.
4. The Contractor shall certify on each submittal document that it has reviewed the submittal,
verified field conditions, and complied with the contract documents.
5. The Contractor may authorize in writing a material or equipment supplier to deal directly
with the Engineer or with the Agency with regard to a submittal. These dealings shall be
limited to contract interpretations to clarify and expedite the Work.
C. Shop Drawings and Product Submittals
1. Wherever called for in the Contract Documents or where required by the Engineer, the
Contractor shall furnish to the Engineer for review, five (5) copies plus one reproducible
copy or electronic file, of each Shop Drawing or Product submittal. Shop Drawings may
include detail design calculations, shop-prepared drawings, fabrication and installation
drawings, erection drawings, lists, graphs, catalog sheets, data sheets, and similar items. If a
list, graph, catalog sheet, data sheet, etc. includes more than one item, clearly mark which
item is the subject of the submittal. Shop Drawings shall bear the signature and seal of an
engineer registered in the appropriate branch and in the state of Oregon, unless otherwise
indicated. Whenever the Contractor is required to submit design calculations as part of a
submittal, such calculations shall bear the signature and seal of an engineer registered in the
appropriate branch and in the state of Oregon, unless otherwise indicated.
2. Shop Drawing and Product submittals shall be accompanied by the Engineer's standard
submittal transmittal form, a reproducible copy of which is available from the Engineer. A
submittal without the form or where applicable items on the form are not completed will be
returned for resubmittal.
3. Organization
a) A single submittal transmittal form shall be used for each technical specification section or
item or class of material or equipment for which a submittal is required. A single
submittal covering multiple sections will not be acceptable, unless the primary
specification references other sections for components. Example: if a pump section
references other sections for the motor, shop-applied protective coating, anchor bolts,
44
00150
local control panel, and variable frequency drive, a single submittal would be acceptable.
A single submittal covering vertical turbine pumps and horizontal split case pumps would
not be acceptable.
b) On the transmittal form, index the components of the submittal and insert tabs in the
submittal to match the components. Relate the submittal components to specification
paragraph and subparagraph, Drawing number, detail number, schedule title, room
number, or building name, as applicable.
c) Unless indicated otherwise, terminology and equipment names and numbers used in
submittals shall match those used in the Contract Documents
4. Format
a) Minimum sheetsize shall be 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Maximum sheet size shall be 22
inches by 34 inches. Every page in a submittal shall be numbered in sequence. Each copy
of a submittal shall be collated and stapled or bound, as appropriate. The Engineer will
not collate sheets or copies.
b) Where product data from a manufacturer is submitted, clearly mark which model is
proposed, with complete pertinent data capacities, dimensions, clearances, diagrams,
controls, connections, anchorage, and supports. Sufficient level of detail shall be
presented for assessment of compliance with the Contract Documents.
c) Each submittal shall be assigned a unique number. Submittals shall be numbered
sequentially, and the submittal numbers shall be clearly noted on the transmittal.
Original submittals shall be assigned a numeric submittal number (e.g., 25). If submittal
"25" requires a resubmittal, the first resubmittal will bear the designation "25.A" and the
second resubmittal will bear the designation "25.B" and so on.
d) If there is a follow-up submittal related to a previously submitted class of material or type
of equipment (e.g., follow-up submittal to submittal "25"), it shall be assigned the number
"25.1". If submittal "25.1" requires a resubmittal, the first resubmittal will bear the
designation "25.1.A" and the second resubmittal will bear the designation "25.1.B" and so
on
5. Disorganized submittals that do not meet the requirements of the Contract Documents will
be returned without review.
6. Except as may otherwise be indicated, the Engineer will return prints of each submittal to the
Contractor with comments noted thereon, within 21 Days following receipt by the Engineer.
It is considered reasonable that the Contractor will make a complete and acceptable submittal
to the Engineer by the first resubmittal on an item. The Owner reserves the right to
withhold monies due to the Contractor to cover additional costs of the Engineer's review
beyond the first resubmittal. Engineer's cost for submittal review beyond the first
resubmittal is provided in the Special Provisions. The Engineer's maximum review period
for each submittal or resubmittal will be 21 Days.
7. If a submittal is returned to the Contractor marked "NO EXCEPTIONS TAKEN," formal
revision and resubmission will not be required.
45
00150
8. If a submittal is returned marked "MAKE CORRECTIONS NOTED," Contractor shall
make the corrections on the submittal, but formal revision and resubmission will not be
required, except where specifically required by Engineer as indicated on the submittal review
form.
9. If a submittal is returned marked "AMEND-RESUBMIT," the Contractor shall revise it and
shall resubmit the required number of copies to the Engineer for review. Resubmittal of
portions of multi-page or multi-drawing submittals will not be allowed. For example, if a
Shop Drawing submittal consisting of 10 drawings contains one drawing noted as "AMEND -
RESUBMIT," the submittal as a whole is deemed "AMEND - RESUBMIT," and 10 drawings
are required to be resubmitted.
10. If a submittal is returned marked "REJECTED-RESUBMIT," it shall mean either that the
proposed material or product does not satisfy the specification, the submittal is so incomplete
that it cannot be reviewed, or is a substitution request not submitted in accordance with the
General Conditions. In the first 2 cases, the Contractor shall prepare a new submittal and
shall submit the required number of copies to the Engineer for review. In the latter case, the
Contractor shall submit the substitution request according to the General Conditions.
11. Resubmittal of rejected portions of a previous submittal will not be allowed. Every change
from a submittal to a resubmittal or from a resubmittal to a subsequent resubmittal shall be
identified and flagged on the resubmittal.
12. Fabrication of an item may commence only after the Engineer has reviewed the pertinent
submittals and returned copies to the Contractor marked either "NO EXCEPTIONS
TAKEN" or "MAKE CORRECTIONS NOTED". Corrections indicated on submittals
shall be considered as changes necessary to meet the requirements of the Contract Documents
and shall not be taken as changes to the Contract requirements.
13. Corrections or comments made on the Contractor's Shop Drawings during review do not
relieve the Contractor from compliance with Contract Drawings and Specifications. Review
is for conformance to the design concept and general compliance with the Contract
Documents only. The Contractor is responsible for confirming and correlating quantities
and dimensions, fabrication processes and techniques, coordinating Work with the trades, and
satisfactory and safe performance of the Work.
D. Quality Control (QC) Submittals
1. Quality control submittals are defined as those required by the Specifications to present
documentary evidence to the Engineer that the Contractor has satisfied certain requirements
of the Contract Documents.
2. Unless otherwise indicated, QC submittals shall be submitted:
a) Before delivery and unloading, for the following types of submittals:
• Manufacturers' installation instructions
46
00150
• Manufacturers' and Installers' experience qualifications
• Ready mix concrete delivery tickets
• Design calculations

00170.07 is required. All subcontracts, including Contractor's with the first-tier Subcontractors
and those of the first-tier Subcontractors with their subcontractors, and any other lower tier
subcontracts shall contain a clause or condition that if the Contractor or a subcontractor fails,
neglects, or refuses to make payment to an Entity furnishing labor or Materials in connection
with the Contract, the Entity may file a complaint with the Construction Contractors Board,
unless payment is subject to a good-faith dispute as defined in ORS 279C.580. Additionally,
according to the provisions of ORS 279C.580, subcontracts shall include:
1. A payment clause that obligates the Contractor to pay the first-tier Subcontractor for
satisfactory performance under the subcontract within 10 Calendar Days out of amounts the
Agency pays to the Contractor under the Contract.
2. A clause that requires the Contractor to provide the first-tier Subcontractor with a standard
form that the first-tier Subcontractor may use as an application for payment or as another
method by which the Subcontractor may claim a payment due from the Contractor.
3. A clause that requires the Contractor, except as otherwise provided in this subsection, to use
the same form and regular administrative procedures for processing payments during the
entire term of the subcontract. The Contractor may change the form or the regular
administrative procedures the Contractor uses for processing payments if the Contractor:

updated Project Work schedule as the new accepted Project Work schedule will be as
provided above.
The Contractor shall evaluate this information each month and compare it with the accepted
Project Work schedule. The Contractor shall make an updated bar chart schedule to
incorporate the effect changes may have on the Project completion time(s). For any activity
that has started, the Contractor shall add a symbol to show the actual date the activity started
and the number of normal workdays remaining until completion. For activities that are
finished, a symbol shall be added to show the actual date. The Contractor shall submit,
digitally and in paper, copies of the updated bar chart to the Engineer within 7 Days after the
progress meeting, along with a progress report as required by "b." below.
b) Progress Report -Each month the Contractor shall submit a progress report and an
update of the Project Work schedule to the Engineer. The report and updated schedule
shall be submitted both digitally and in paper copy and shall include the following:
• A sufficient description, in narrative form, to describe the past progress, anticipated
activities, and stage Work;
• A description of any current and expected changes or delaying factors and their effect
on the construction schedule;
• Proposed corrective actions;
• Proposals to keep the Project on schedule in the event of a delay; and
• Any changes to the logic as compared to the accepted Project Work schedule.
D. Substitution of Schedules -When a Type "A" schedule is required, a Type "B" or Type "C"
schedule may be substituted for the Type "A" schedule.
When a Type "B" schedule is required, a Type "C" schedule may be substituted for the Type "B"
schedule.
E. Specified Contract Time Not Superseded by Schedule Revisions - The completion dates in
any Project Work schedule and any revised or updated Project Work schedules shall be within
the Contract Time(s) specified for the Project, or within adjusted Contract Times approved
according to 00180.80(c). Acceptance of any Project Work schedule or any revised or updated
Project Work schedules shall not constitute approval of any completion dates that exceed such
Contract Time(s). If the Contractor believes that additional Contract Time is due, the
Contractor shall submit, with a revised Project Work schedule, a request for adjustment of
Contract Time according to 00180.80(c). A request for an adjustment of Contract Time will be
evaluated using the most recently accepted Project Work schedule.
100
00180
F. Float Time - Float time shown on the Project Work schedule, including any time between a
Contractor's scheduled completion date and the specified Contract Time(s), does not exist for the
exclusive use of either party to the Contract and belongs to the Project.
G. Schedules Do Not Constitute Notice- Submittal of a Project Work schedule, with supporting
Project narrative, does not constitute or substitute for any notice the Contractor is required
under the terms of the Contract to give the Agency.
H. Failure to Provide Schedule - The Project Work schedule is essential to the Agency. The
Contractor's failure to provide the schedule, schedule information, progress reports, Project
narratives, or schedule updates when required will be cause to suspend the Work, or to withhold
Contract payments as necessary to protect the Agency, until the Contractor provides the
required information to the Engineer.
00180.42 Preconstruction Conference- Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Engineer,
before any Work is performed and within 7 Calendar Days of the Notice to Proceed, the Contractor
shall meet with the Engineer for a preconstruction conference at a time mutually agreed upon.

Work to the time of Final Acceptance the Contractor shall:
A. Provide adequate Materials, Equipment, labor, and supervision to perform and complete the
Work;
B. Perform the Work as vigorously and as continuously as conditions permit, and according to a
Project Work schedule that ensures completion within the Contract Time or the adjusted
Contract Time;
C. Not voluntarily suspend or slow down operations without prior written approval from the
Engineer; and
D. Not resume suspended Work without the Engineer's written authorization.
00180.44 Project Meetings - The Contractor shall participate in conferences and meetings for the
purposes of addressing issues related to the Work, reviewing and coordinating progress of the Work
and other matters of common interest to the Contractor, Engineer and Agency.
A. Meeting Participants -Representative of entities participating in meetings shall be qualified and
authorized to act on behalf of entity each represents.
B. Meet in Agency's meeting room facility, or in a location otherwise agreed to by Agency and
Contractor.
C. Engineer will distribute to each anticipated participant written notice and agenda of each meeting
at least 4 days before meeting.
D. Require attendance of Contractor's superintendent and project manager, and Subcontractors who
are or are proximate to be actively involved in the Work, or who are necessary to agenda.
101
00180
E. Engineer will invite agencies, utility companies or others when the Work affects their interests,
and others necessary to agenda.
F. Engineer will record minutes of meeting and distribute copies of minutes within 7 days of
meeting to participants and interested parties. Contractor shall advise Engineer within two days
of receipt of meeting minutes if Contractor does not agree with content of minutes.
G. Progress Meetings
1. Purpose of Progress Meetings: To expedite Work of Subcontractors or other organizations
that are not meeting scheduled progress, resolve conflicts, and coordinate and expedite
execution of the Work.
2. Attend regularly scheduled bi-weekly progress meetings conducted by Engineer.
3. Review progress of the Work, Progress Scheduled, 3-week look-ahead schedule, narrative
report, Application for Payment, record documents, and additional items of current interest

4. Verify:
a) Actual start and finish dates of completed activities since last progress meeting.
b) Durations and progress of activities not completed.
C) Reason, time, and cost data for Change Order Work that will be incorporated into
Progress Schedule and Application for Payment.
d) Percentage completion of items on Application for Payment
e) Reasons for required revisions to Progress Schedule and their effect on Contract Time and
Contract Amount.
5. Review status of Requests for Clarification/Information and Submittals review.
6. Discuss Project safety and security.
7. Discuss traffic control.
8. Discuss potential problems which may impede scheduled progress and corrective measures.
H. Coordination Meetings
1. Purpose of Coordination Meetings: To coordinate the Work of this Contract with the Work
of the Agency and with Work of other Contractors.
I. Pre-Event Meetings
102
00180
1. Prior to start of critical activities, the Contractor shall schedule a meeting with Engineer to
review applicable specifications and drawings, coordination of inspection requirements and
other key activities.
J. Pre-Survey Conference
1. The Contractor, applicable Subcontractors, Contractor's surveyor, Agency and Agency's
surveyor shall meet with the Engineer two weeks prior to beginning survey work. The
purpose of the meeting is to discuss methods and practices of accomplishing the survey work.
K. Other Meetings
1. The Contractor shall prepare for and attend other meetings as identified elsewhere in the
Contract Documents.
00180.50 Contract Time to Complete Work:
A. General - The time allowed to complete the Work or Pay Item is stipulated in the Special
Provisions, and will be known as the "Contract Time". (see 00110.20)
B. Kinds of Contract Time - The Contract Time will be expressed in one or more of the following
ways
1. Fixed Date Calculation - The calendar date on which the Work or Pay Item shall be
completed; or
2. Calendar Day Calculation - The number of Calendar Days from a specified beginning point
in which the Work or Pay Item shall be completed.
3. Work Day Calculation - The number of Work Days from a specified beginning point in
which the Work or Pay item shall be completed.
C. Beginning of Contract Time -When the Contract Time is stated in Calendar Days, counting of
Contract Calendar Days will begin with the first Calendar Day following the date of the Notice
to Proceed. When the Contract Time is stated in Work Days, counting of Contract Work Days
will begin with the first Work day following the date of the Notice to Proceed.
D. Recording Contract Time - All Contract Time will be recorded and charged to the nearest one-
half Day.
Contract Times may be extended because of delays in the completion of the Work due to
abnormal weather conditions provided that the Contractor shall, within 10 days of the beginning
of such delay, notify Engineer in writing of the cause of the delay and request an extension of
time. Such requests shall be accompanied with supporting documentation referenced to the
NOAA INDEX weather in the Project vicinity. Engineer will make recommendations to
103
00180
Agency to extend the Contract Times for completing the Work when, in Engineer's judgment,
the findings of facts and extent of delay justify such an extension. Contractor shall not be
entitled to any additional compensation of any kind arising out of or relating to abnormal
weather conditions.
On Contracts with Calendar Day or Work Day counts, the Engineer will furnish the Contractor
a weekly statement of Contract Time charges. The statement will show the number of Calendar
Days counted for the preceding week and the number of Calendar Days remaining prior to the
established completion date.
For Contracts with fixed completion dates or fixed milestone completion dates for Pay Items, the
Engineer will furnish the Contractor a weekly statement of Contract Time charges only after
expiration of the Contract Time. The statement will show the number of Calendar Days of
liquidated damages that have been assessed, if any.
These statements will include any exclusions from, or adjustments to, Contract Time.
E. Exclusions from Contract Time - Regardless of the way Contract Time is expressed in the
Contract, certain Calendar Days will not be charged against Contract Time. These exclusions
will be allowed when the Contractor is prevented from performing Work due to one of the
following reasons, resulting in delay:
1. Acts of God or Nature;
2. Court orders enjoining prosecution of the Work;
3. Strikes, labor disputes or freight embargoes that, despite the Contractor's reasonable efforts
to avoid them, cause a shutdown of the entire Project or one or more major operations.
"Strike" and "labor dispute" may include union action against the Contractor, a
Subcontractor, a Materials supplier, or the Agency; or
4. Suspension of the Work by written order of the Engineer for reasons other than the
Contractor's failure or neglect.
F. Time Calculation Protest-In the event the Contractor disputes the accuracy of the statement of
Contract Time charges, it shall immediately contact the Engineer and attempt to resolve the
dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, the Contractor shall submit a formal
written protest to the Engineer within 7 Calendar Days of the date the Engineer mailed or
delivered the statement. Failure to submit a formal written protest within the 7 Calendar Day
period constitutes the Contractor's approval of the time charges, or adjusted time charges,
itemized in the statement.
G. End of Contract Time-When the Engineer determines that the On-Site Work has been
completed, except for the items listed below, the Engineer will issue a Second Notification.
The Second Notification will list:
1. The date the time charges stopped;
2. Final trimming and cleanup tasks (see 00140.90);
104
00180
3. Equipment to be removed from the Project Site;
4. Minor corrective work (punch list); and
5. Submittals, including without limitation all required certifications, bills, forms, warranties,
certificate of insurance coverage (00170.70), and other documents, required to be provided to
the Engineer before Third Notification will issue.
The Contractor shall complete all tasks listed in the Second Notification in an expeditious
manner within the time frame specified for Final Completion.
00180.60 Notice of Delay- The Contractor shall notify the Engineer of any delay that will likely
prevent completion of the Work or a Pay Item by the date specified in the Project Work schedule.
The notice shall be in writing and shall be submitted within 7 Calendar Days of when the
Contractor knew or should have known of the delay. The notice shall include, to the extent
available, the following:
A. The reasons or causes for the delay;
B. The estimated duration of the delay and the estimated resulting cumulative delay in Contract
completion;
C. Except for 00180.50E and 00180.65 delays, whether or not the Contractor expects to request an
adjustment of Contract Time due to the delay;
D. Whether or not the Contractor expects to accelerate due to the delay; and
E. Whether or not the Contractor expects to request additional compensation due to the delay.
Except for 00180.50E and 00180.65 delays, failure to include this information will constitute
waiver of the Contractor's right to later make such a request.
00180.65 Rights-of-Way and Access Delays - Right-of-Way and access delays will be taken into
consideration in adjusting Contract Time, and in approving additional compensation if the
performance of the Work is delayed because of the Agency's failure to make available to the
Contractor:
A. Necessary Rights-of-Way;
B. Agency-owned or Agency-controlled Materials sources that are offered in the Contract for the
Contractor's use; or
C. Access to, or rights of occupancy of, buildings and other properties the Contractor is required to
enter or to disturb according to Contract requirements.
If the duration and time period of an anticipated delay is stated in the Special Provisions, only the
delay occurring beyond that duration and time period will be considered for adjusting Contract
Time or providing additional compensation.
00180.70 Suspension of Work:
A. General - The Engineer has authority to suspend the Work, or part of the Work, for any of the
following causes:
1. Failure of the Contractor to correct unsafe conditions;
105
00180
2. Failure of the Contractor to carry out any provision of the Contract;
3. Failure of the Contractor to carry out orders issued by the Engineer, the Agency, or any
regulatory authority;
4. Existence of conditions unsuitable to proper or safe performance of the Work; or
5. Any reason considered by the Agency to be in the public interest.
When Work has been suspended for any reason, the Contractor shall not resume Work without
the Engineer's written authorization.
B. Contractor's Responsibilities during and after Suspension-During periods of suspension of
the Work, the Contractor shall continue to be responsible for protecting and repairing the Work
according to 00170.80, and for ensuring that a single designated representative responsible for the
Project remains available according to 00150.40B.
When Work is resumed after suspension, unless otherwise specified in the Contract, the
Contractor shall perform the following at no additional compensation:
1. Replace or repair any Work, Materials, and Equipment to be incorporated into the Work that
was lost or damaged because of the temporary use of the Project Site by the public; and
2. Remove Materials, Equipment, and temporary construction necessitated by temporary
maintenance during the suspension, as directed by the Engineer.
C. Compensation and Allowances for Suspension- Compensation and allowance of additional
Contract Time due to suspension of any portion of the Work will be authorized only for
Agency-initiated suspensions for reasons other than the Contractor's failure or neglect. (refer
to 00180.50(e), 00180.65, and 00195.40)
00180.80 Adjustment of Contract Time:
A. General - Contract Time established for the Work will be subject to adjustment, either by
increase or decrease, for causes beyond the control of the Contractor, according to the terms of
this Subsection. After adjustment, the Contract Time will become, and be designated as, the
"Adjusted Contract Time". Except as provided in 00180.65 and 00195.40, an adjustment of
Contract Time shall be the Contractor's only remedy for any delay arising from causes beyond
the control of the Contractor.
B. Contractor's Request Not Required- The Engineer may increase or decrease the Contract
Time or the Adjusted Contract Time if Change Orders or Extra Work orders issued actually
increase or decrease the amount of time required to perform the Work. The Engineer may also
increase Contract Time in the event of Right-of-Way and Access delays (see 00180.65), and those
delays due to causes beyond the Contractor's control specified in 00180.50E. The Engineer will
promptly inform the Contractor of adjustments made to Contract Time according to this
Subsection, and will include the reasons for adjustment.
If the Agency anticipates delay during performance of the Contract, and specifies its expected
duration and time period in the Special Provisions, the Engineer will only consider additional
106
00180
delay beyond the stipulated duration and time period in determining whether to adjust Contract
Time.
C. Contractor's Request Required- In the event the Contractor believes that additional Contract
Time is due, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a timely request for adjustment of
Contract Time. The Engineer will not consider untimely requests. The Agency regards as
timely only those requests for adjustment of Contract Time that:
1. Accompany a proposed revised Project Work schedule submitted according to 00180.41, for
comparison with the last revision of the Project Work schedule; or
2. Are not otherwise deemed waived and are submitted within 15 Days after the date of Second
Notification, if Second Notification has been issued.
The Engineer will not grant an adjustment of Contract Time for events that occurred prior to
the date of the last revision of the Project Work schedule. The Engineer will not authorize, nor
the Agency pay, acceleration costs incurred by the Contractor prior to its submittal of a request
for adjustment of Contract Time to which the acceleration costs relate.
The Contractor's request for adjustment of Contract Time shall be submitted to the Engineer on
a form provided by, or in a format acceptable to, the Engineer, and shall include a copy of the
written notice required under 00180.60. The request shall include without limitation:
1. Consent of the Contractor's Surety if the request totals more than 30 Calendar Days of
additional Contract Time;
2. Sufficient detail for the Engineer to evaluate the asserted justification for the amount of
additional Contract Time requested;
3. The cause of each delay for which additional Contract Time is requested, together with
supporting analysis and data;
4. Reference to the Contract provision allowing Contract Time adjustment for each cause of
delay;
5. The actual or expected duration of delay resulting from each cause of delay, expressed in
Calendar Days; and
6. A schedule analysis based on the current approved Project Work schedule for each cause of
delay, indicating which activities are involved and their impact on Contract completion.
D. Basis for Adjustment of Contract Time-In the adjustment of Contract Time, the Engineer
will consider causes that include, but are not limited to:
1. Failure of the Agency to submit the Contract and bond forms to the Contractor for
execution within the time stated in 00130.50, or to submit the Notice to Proceed within the
time stated in 00130.90;
2. Errors, changes, or omissions in the Supplemental Drawings, quantities, or Specifications;
3. Performance of Extra Work;
4. Failure of the Agency or Entities acting for the Agency to act promptly in carrying out
Contract duties and obligations;
107
00180
5. Acts or omissions of the Agency or Entities acting for the Agency that result in unreasonable
delay referenced in 00195.40;
6. Causes cited in 00180.50(e); and
7. Right-of-way and access delays referenced in 00180.65.
The Engineer will not consider requests for adjustment of Contract Time based on any of the
following:
1. Contentions that insufficient Contract Time was originally specified in the Contract;
2. Delays that do not affect the specified or Adjusted Contract Time;
3. Delays that affect the Contractor's planned early completion, but that do not affect the
specified or adjusted Contract Time;
4. Shortage or inadequacy of Materials, Equipment or labor;
5. Work stoppage required by the Engineer to determine the extent of Work defects
6. Time for the Contractor to correct the Work defects from date of notification of the defects
until the correction work is completed and has been approved by the Engineer.
7. Late delivery of Materials and Equipment to be incorporated into the Work, except under
those conditions referenced in 00180.50(e);
8. Different area of Material source in 00160.40(a);
9. Substitution of Equipment in 00180.31(c);
10. Reasonably predictable weather conditions; or
11. Other matters within the Contractor's control or Contract responsibility.
E. Consideration and Response by Agency- The Engineer will only consider a Contractor's
request for Contract Time adjustment submitted according to the requirements of 00180.80C.
The Engineer may elect not to consider claimed delays that do not affect the specified or adjusted
Contract Time required to complete the Work.
The Engineer may adjust Contract Time for causes not specifically identified by the Contractor
in its request.
The Engineer will review a properly submitted request for Contract Time adjustment, and
within a reasonable time will advise the Contractor of the Engineer's findings. If the Contractor
disagrees with the Engineer's findings, the Contractor may request review according to the
procedure specified in 00199.40.
00180.85 Failure to Complete on Time; Liquidated Damages:
A. Time is of the Essence - Time is of the essence in the Contractor's performance of the Contract.
Delays in the Contractor's performance of the Work may inconvenience the traveling public,
interfere with business and commerce, and increase cost to the Agency. It is essential and in the
public interest that the Contractor prosecute the Work vigorously to Contract completion.
108
00180
The Agency does not waive any rights under the Contract by permitting the Contractor to
continue to perform the Contract, or any part of it, after the Contract Time or adjusted Contract
Time has expired.
B. Liquidated Damages - The Agency will sustain damage if the Work is not completed within the
specified Contract Time. However, in certain Agency projects it may be unduly burdensome
and difficult to demonstrate the exact dollar value of such damages. The Agency will identify
such projects in the Special Provisions related to them. In these projects, the Contractor agrees
to pay to the Agency, not as a penalty but as liquidated damages, the amount specified in the
Special Provisions for each Calendar Day the Contractor expends performing the Contract in
excess of the Contract Time or adjusted Contract Time.
Payment by the Contractor of liquidated damages does not release the Contractor from its
obligation to fully and timely perform the Contract according to its terms. Nor does acceptance
of liquidated damages by the Agency constitute a waiver of the Agency's right to collect any
additional damages it may sustain by reason of the Contractor's failure to fully perform the
Contract according to its terms. The liquidated damages shall constitute payment in full only of
damages incurred by the Agency due to the Contractor's failure to complete the Work on time.
If the Contract is terminated according to 00180.90A, and if the Work has not been completed by
other means on or before the expiration of Contract Time or adjusted Contract Time, liquidated
damages will be assessed against the Contractor for the duration of time reasonably required to
complete the Work.
00180.90 Termination of Contract and Substituted Performance:
A. Termination for Default - Termination of the Contract for default may result if the Contractor:
1. Fails to comply with the requirements for records;
2. Violates any material provision of the Contract;
3. Disregards applicable laws and regulations or the Engineer's instructions;
4. Refuses or fails to supply enough Materials, Equipment or skilled workers for prosecution of
the Work in compliance with the Contract;
5. Fails to make prompt payment to Subcontractors;
6. Makes an unauthorized general assignment for the benefit of the Contractor's creditors;
7. Has a receiver appointed because of the Contractor's insolvency;
8. Is adjudged bankrupt and the court consents to the Contract termination; or
9. Otherwise fails or refuses to faithfully perform the Contract according to its terms and
conditions.
If the Contract is terminated by the Agency, upon demand the Contractor and the Contractor's
Surety shall provide the Engineer with immediate and peaceful possession of the Project Site, and
of all Materials and Equipment to be incorporated into the Work, whether located on and off the
Project Site, for which the Contractor received progress payments under 00195.50.
If the Contract is terminated for default, neither the Contractor nor its Surety shall be:
109
00180
1. Relieved of liability for damages or losses suffered by the Agency because of the Contractor's
breach of Contract; or
2. Entitled to receive any further progress payments until the Work is completed. However,
progress payments for completed Work that remain due and owing at the time of Contract
termination may be made according to the terms of 00195.70, except that the Engineer will
be entitled to withhold sufficient funds to cover costs incurred by the Agency as a result of
the termination. Final payment to the Contractor will be made according to the provisions
of Section 00195.
If a termination under this provision is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unjustified, the termination shall be deemed a termination for public convenience.
B. Substituted Performance - According to the Agency's procedures, and upon the Engineer's
recommendation that sufficient cause exists, the Agency, without prejudice to any of its other
rights or remedies and after giving the Contractor and the Contractor's Surety 10 Calendar Days'
written notice, may:
1. Terminate the Contract;
2. Substitute the Contractor with another Entity to complete the Contract;
3. Take possession of the Project Site;
4. Take possession of Materials on the Project Site;
5. Take possession of Materials not on the Project Site, for which the Contractor received
progress payments under 00195.50;
6. Take possession of Equipment on the Project Site that is to be incorporated into the Work;
7. Take possession of Equipment not on the Project Site that is to be incorporated into the
Work, and for which the Contractor received progress payments under 00195.70; and
8. Finish the Work by whatever method the Agency deems expedient.
If, within the 10 Calendar Day notice period provided above, the Contractor and/or its Surety
corrects the basis for declaration of default to the satisfaction of the Engineer, or if the
Contractor's Surety submits a proposal for correction that is acceptable to the Engineer, the
Contract will not be terminated.
C. Termination for Public Convenience - The Engineer may terminate the Contract for
convenience in whole or in part whenever the Engineer determines that termination of the
Contract is in the best interest of the public and for, but not limited to, the following reasons:
1. If work under the Contract is suspended by an order of a public agency for any reason
considered to be in the public interest other than by a labor dispute or by reason of any third
party judicial proceeding relating to the Work other than a suit or action filed in regard to a
labor dispute; or
2. If the circumstances or conditions are such that it is impracticable within a reasonable time to
proceed with a substantial portion of the Contract; or;
110
00180
3. If Agency funding from federal, state, local, or other sources is not obtained and continued at
levels sufficient to allow for the purchase of the indicated quantity of services. This Contract
may be modified to accommodate a reduction in funds; or
4. If Federal or State regulations or guidelines are modified, changed, or interpreted in such a way
that the services are no longer allowable or appropriate for purchase under this Contract,
The Engineer will provide the Contractor and the Contractor's Surety 7 Calendar Days' written
notice of termination for public convenience. After such notice, the Contractor and the
Contractor's Surety shall provide the Engineer with immediate and peaceful possession of the
Project Site, and of Materials and Equipment to be incorporated into the Work, whether located
on and off the Project Site, for which the Contractor received progress payments under 00195.50.
Termination under any provision of this paragraph shall not affect any right, obligation, or
liability of Contractor or Agency, which accrued prior to such termination.
If the Contract is terminated for public convenience, neither the Contractor nor its Surety shall be
relieved of liability for damages or losses suffered by the Agency as a result of defective,
unacceptable or unauthorized Work completed or performed.
Compensation for Work terminated by the Engineer under this provision will be determined
according to the provisions of 00195.70B.
111
00190
Section 00190 - Measurement of Pay Quantities
00190.00 Scope- The Engineer will measure pay quantities for accepted Work according to the
United States standard measure unless otherwise provided in the Contract. Unless otherwise
specified in the Contract, the Engineer will round off all quantity computations using the following
convention:
• The final significant digit will not be changed when the succeeding digit is less than 5.
• The final significant digit will be increased by one when the succeeding digit is 5 or greater.
The measurement provisions contained in the Specifications for each Pay Item will supplement or
modify the above convention by:
• Imposing measurement limitations
• Describing measurement or computation procedures
• Giving conversion factors or adjustment conditions
• Providing for determination of reasonably accurate and representative Pay Item quantities
Measurements required or allowed to be made by the Contractor will be subject to the Engineer's
verification. The Engineer's decision about measurement is final.
00190.10 Measurement Guidelines - Measurement of quantities will be made on the following
bases, unless otherwise specified in the Contract.
A. Unit Basis - Unit will be each, unless otherwise specified in the Contract and will be
determined by actual count of units in place.
B. Length Basis - Length will be feet or mile, unless otherwise specified in the Contract and will
be determined by measuring the length at least to the nearest 0.1 foot or at least to the
nearest 0.1 mile, as applicable, unless otherwise specified in the Contract. Measurements will
be limited to the dimensions shown or specified, or as directed by the Engineer.
C. Area Basis - Area will be square foot, square yard, or acre, unless otherwise specified in the
Contract and will be determined by measuring the width and the length (or height) at least to
the nearest 0.1 foot and computed at least to the nearest 0.1 square foot, nearest 0.1 square
yard, or nearest 0.1 acre, as applicable, unless otherwise specified in the Contract.
D. Weight Basis -Weight will be pound or ton, unless otherwise specified in the Contract and
will be determined as follows:
1. Pound- Pound weight will be determined by the net weight identified on the manufacturer's
packaged labels, subject to periodic check weighing. Weight by pound will be measured at
least to the nearest 1.0 pound unless otherwise specified in the Contract.
112
00190
Provide a certificate with each shipment together with a certified copy of the weight of each
delivery. If the check weight is less than the manufacturer weight by more than 0.4%, the
discrepancy will be resolved by the Engineer.
2. Ton- Ton weight will be determined on Contractor-provided scales as required under
00190.20 unless otherwise allowed by the Specifications. Weight by ton will be measured at
least to the nearest 0.01 ton unless otherwise specified in the Contract.
If bituminous materials, Portland cement, lime, and similar bulk Materials are shipped by truck
or rail, the supplier's shipping invoice with net scale weights, or volumes converted to weights,
may be used for Pay Item quantity determination in place of weights determined on the
Contractor-provided vehicle scales.
Shipping invoice weights of the supplier's truck or transport shall be subject to periodic check
weighing on the Contractor's vehicle scales, or other scales designated, according to 00190.20. If
the check weight is less than the supplier weight by more than 0.4%, the discrepancy will be
resolved by the Engineer.
No payment will be made:
• For quantities in excess of the supplier weight
• When Materials have been lost, wasted, or otherwise not incorporated into the Work
• For additional hauling costs resulting from the check weighing
E. Volume Basis -Volume will be cubic yard truck measure or in-place measure, gallons, foot
board measure (FBM), or thousand foot board measure (MFBM), unless otherwise specified in
the Contract and will be measured at least to the nearest 0.1 cubic yard, nearest 1.0 gallon,
nearest 0.1 FBM, or nearest 0.1 MFBM, as applicable, unless otherwise specified in the
Contract.
Truck measure will be the measured and calculated maximum "water level" capacity of the
vehicle. Quantities will be determined at the point of delivery, with no allowance for
settlement of Material during transit. When required to facilitate measurement, the vehicle
load shall be leveled at the point of delivery. Payment will not be made for Material in excess
of the maximum "water level" capacity. Deductions will be made for loads below the
maximum "water level" capacity.
When bituminous materials are measured by volume, the volume will be measured at 60°F or
will be corrected to the volume at 60 °F using the correction factors found in the MFTP
(ODOT TM 321).
F. Time Basis - Time will be hour, Day, or year, unless otherwise specified in the Contract, and
will be measured to at least the nearest 0.5 hour, nearest 1.0 Day, or nearest 1.0 year, as
applicable, unless otherwise specified in the Contract.
113
00190
G. Standard Manufactured Items - If standard manufactured items, such as fence, wire, plates,
rolled shapes, pipe, conduit and other similar items are specified in the Contract by properties
such as gauge, unit weight, or section dimensions, the manufacturing tolerances established by
the industry involved will be accepted unless more stringent tolerances are cited in the
Contract.
H. Lump Sum Basis - Lump sum, when used, means the Work described shall be completed and
accepted without measurement unless changes are ordered in writing by the Engineer.
00190.20 Contractor to Provide Vehicle Weigh Scales:
A. General -If the Specifications require measurement by weighing on vehicle weigh scales, the
Contractor shall provide vehicle weigh scales and shall transport Materials to the scales.
Subject to the Engineer's approval, weights may be determined by plant or hopper scales
according to 00190.30.
Contractor-provided scales shall be furnished, installed and maintained by the Contractor or
its supplier, or, subject to the Engineer's approval, may be commercial scales located in the
vicinity of the Project.
Unless otherwise provided in the Contract, Pay Items to be measured by weight shall include
all Contractor costs for providing, maintaining, inspecting, and testing scales; for furnishing
appropriate weigh tickets; for self-printing scales; and for transporting Materials to the scales
or to check weighing.
B. Requirements - The scales shall conform to ORS 618, or the laws of the state in which they
are located, and NIST Handbook 44, and shall be:
• Licensed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture, or by the analogous regulatory body
for scales located outside the State;
• Technically suitable for weighing the Materials;
• Properly installed and maintained; and
• Accurate to the required tolerances.
The weight of any Materials weighed by anyone other than the Engineer will be subject to
check weighing as the Engineer directs.
C. Approaches - Vehicle scale approaches shall be:
• At each end of the scale platform;
• Straight and in line with the platform; and
• Long enough to accommodate combination vehicles longer than the scale platform so that
they are level and allow release of brakes before weighing.
114
00190
D. Inspections - Contractor shall have all scales certified, that is inspected and their accuracy
tested, by the Oregon Department of Agriculture, an analogous regulatory body for scales
located outside the State, or a scale service company as follows:
• Before use if installed at a new site;
• 60 Calendar Days after initial inspection;
• Every 6 months thereafter; and
• When the Engineer directs additional inspections.
No Materials weighed on scales without current certifications according to this Subsection will
be accepted. The Contractor shall provide a copy of all required certifications to the Engineer.
Testing by a scale service company within the State of Oregon shall comply with ORS 618.
If additional inspections directed by the Engineer confirm that the scale accuracy is within the
required tolerances, the Agency will pay the cost for inspecting and testing the scales. If the
scale accuracy is not within these tolerances, the Contractor shall pay the cost for inspecting
and testing the scales.
E. Inspection Results -If an inspection indicates the scales have been under-weighing (indicating
less than the true weight), the Agency will make no additional payment to the Contractor for
Materials previously weighed.
If an inspection indicates the scales have been over-weighing (indicating more than the true
weight), the weights will be reduced for Materials received after the time the Engineer
determines the overweighing began or, if that is not possible, after the last acceptable
certification of the scales. The reduction will be the amount of error in excess of the 0.2%
maintenance tolerance allowed in the Contract.
F. Contractor-Provided Weigh Technician- The Contractor shall provide a technician to
operate Contractor-provided vehicle weigh scales. The Agency may observe procedures and
require check weighing according to the following:
1. Scale with Automatic Printer-If the scales have an automatic weigh memo printer that
does not require manual entry of gross weight information, the Agency may periodically
have a representative at the scales to observe the weighing procedures. In addition, the
Engineer may periodically check the weight for a load of Materials by directing the haul
vehicle to reweigh on a different scale that has been inspected and certified according to
00190.20(b) and 00190.20(d).
If a different scale is not available within a 30 mile round trip from the regular haul route the
Agency will allow check weighing on an approved alternate basis. Check weights within
0.4% of the Contractor-provided weight are acceptable.
115
00190
The Engineer will resolve discrepancies found by check weighing. Agency employee costs
will be paid by the Agency. The Contractor shall pay all other costs resulting from the
check weighings, including without limitation the use of other scales.
If more than 50 tons per Day of all types of Materials are received from a scale, the
Contractor shall make random check weighings at least every tenth Day on which more
than 50 tons is received or at each interval that 10,000 tons has been weighed, whichever
occurs first, or as directed by the Engineer. The Contractor shall make at least one check
weighing on projects where more than 2,000 tons of all types of Materials are received from
a scale. The Contractor shall provide the Engineer with the results of the check weighing.
2. Scale Without Automatic Printer - If the scales require manual entry of gross weight
information, the Agency may periodically have a representative weigh witness at the scales
to observe the weighing procedures. The Contractor shall inform the Engineer of his intent
to use a scale without an automatic printer at least 3 working Days before weighing begins or
before the Contractor changes to a scale that does not have an automatic printer. The
Contractor shall pay costs for the weigh witness. The hourly cost of the weigh witness will
be as stated in the Special Provisions. In addition, the Engineer may periodically check the
weight for a load of Materials by directing the haul vehicle to re-weigh on a different scale
that has been inspected and certified according to 00190.20(b) and 00190.20(d).
If a different scale is not available within a 30 mile round trip from the regular haul route the
Agency will allow check weighing on an approved alternate basis. Check weights within
0.4% of the Contractor-provided weight are acceptable.
The Engineer will resolve discrepancies found by check weighing. Agency employee costs
for check weighings will be paid by the Agency. The Contractor shall pay all other costs
resulting from the check weighings, including without limitation the use of other scales.
If more than 50 tons per Day of all types of Materials are received from a scale, the
Contractor shall make random check weighings at least every tenth day on which more than
50 tons is received or at each interval that 10,000 tons has been weighed, whichever occurs
first, or as directed by the Engineer. The Contractor shall make at least one check weighing
on all projects where materials are received from a scale without an automatic printer. The
Contractor shall provide the Engineer with the results of the check weighing.
3. Duties of Weigh Technician - The Contractor's weigh technician shall:
• Determine twice a Day, or as otherwise directed by the Engineer, the empty haul
weights (tare weights) of hauling vehicles, unless vehicles are tared before each load;
• Furnish daily a listing of the tare weights if 10 or more loads are hauled during that Day;
• Furnish a note listing the net weight for each consecutive ten loads with the following
load;
• Furnish a daily listing of the net weights and total weight for each type of Material
hauled during that Day; and
116
00190
• Furnish a legible, serially numbered weigh memo for each load of Materials to the
Agency's Materials receiver at the point of delivery, or as directed by the Engineer. The
memo shall identify the Project, the Materials, the date, net weight (gross and tare as
appropriate), and identification of vehicle, driver and weigh technician.
G. Agency-Provided Weigh Technician - If the Contractor provides vehicle weigh scales without
a weigh technician meeting the requirements of this Subsection, the Agency will provide a
weigh technician at the Contractor's expense. The hourly cost for the weigh technician will be
as stated in the Special Provisions. The Contractor shall provide a weighhouse for the weigh
technician according to Section 00205. The Agency's weigh technician will:
• Determine tare weights;
• Prepare weigh memos for each load;
• Compile the weigh records; and
• Not participate in the production of Materials or the loading of haul vehicles.
00190.30 Plant Scales - The Contractor, with the Engineer's written approval, may weigh plant-
mixed Materials on scales that have either:
• An automatic weight batching and mixing control printer system; or
• A weigh hopper printer system.
Any additional costs resulting from the use of these scales shall be borne by the Contractor. Check
weighing will be done according to 00190.20F.
Except for 00190.20C regarding approaches, the Contractor's use of plant scales shall comply with all
provisions of 00190.20.
The Engineer's approval for the Contractor's use of plant scales to determine pay weights will be
rescinded if check weighing or scale inspections indicate the scales do not consistently determine
weights within the tolerances allowed by state law.
117
00195
Section 00195 - Payment
00195.00 Scope and Limit:
A. General - The Agency will pay only for measured Pay Item quantities incorporated into the
Work or performed according to the terms of the Contract. The Contractor understands and
agrees that Pay Item quantities listed in the Schedule of Items do not govern payment.
Payment constitutes full compensation to the Contractor for furnishing all Materials,
Equipment, labor, and Incidentals necessary to complete the Work; and for risk, loss, damage,
and expense arising from the nature or prosecution of the Work or from the action of the
elements, subject to the provisions of 00170.80. The Contractor shall include the costs of
bonds and insurance for the Project in the unit price for each Pay Item of Work to be
performed.
B. Essential or Incidental Materials or Work-When the Specifications state that the unit price
for a Pay Item is compensation for certain Materials or Work essential or Incidental to the Pay
Item, the same Materials or Work will not be measured or paid under any other Pay Item.
00195.10 Payment For Changes in Materials Costs - On certain projects, as identified in the
Special Provisions, an escalation/de-escalation clause with respect to asphalt cement will be in effect
during the life of the Contract.
00195.13 Asphalt Cement Material Price Escalation/De-Escalation Clause - Subsections
00195.13A, 00195.13B, 00195.13C, and 00195.13D contain the price escalation/de-escalation clause
relating to asphalt cement materials (as defined in 00195.13D).
A. Monthly Asphalt Cement Material Price (MACMP) - The Monthly Asphalt Cement
Material Price (MACMP) will be established by the Agency each month and will be based on
the published prices of PG 64 22 asphalt cement furnished by Poten & Partners, Inc. The
MACMP will be based on the average prices for the Pacific Northwest, Portland Oregon area.
Each MACMP for a given month will be the average of the published prices for that MACMP
for each Friday in that month. For information regarding the calculation of the MACMP, and
for the actual MACMP, go to the ODOT website at:
http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/Business/Pages/Asphalt-Fuel-Price.aspx
If the ODOT selected index ceases to be available for any reason, the Agency in its discretion
will select and begin using a substitute price source or index to establish the MACMP each
month. The MACMP will apply to all asphalt cement including but not limited to paving
grade, polymer modified, and emulsified asphalts, and recycling agents. The Agency does not
guarantee that asphalt cement will be available at the MACMP.
B. Base Asphalt Cement Material Price (Base) - The Base price for this Project is the MACMP
published on the ODOT website for the month immediately preceding the bid opening date.
118
00195
C. Monthly Asphalt Cement Adjustment Factor - The Monthly Asphalt Cement Adjustment
Factor will be determined each month as follows:
• If the MACMP is within ± 5% of the Base, there will be no adjustment.
• If the MACMP is more than 105% of the Base, then:
Adjustment Factor = (MACMP) - (1.05 x Base)
• If the MACMP is less than 95% of the Base, then:
Adjustment Factor = (MACMP) - (0.95 x Base)
D. Asphalt Cement Price Adjustment-If specified in the Special Provisions, an asphalt cement
escalation/de-escalation clause will be in effect during the life of the Contract. A price
adjustment will be made for each pay item in the bid schedule containing asphalt cement. The
price adjustment as calculated in 00195.13C above will use the MACMP for the month the
asphalt is incorporated into the Project. The price adjustment will be determined by
multiplying the asphalt incorporated during the month for subject Pay Items by the
Adjustment Factor. The Agency reserves all of its rights under the Contract, including, but
not limited to, its rights for suspension of the Work under 00180.70 and its rights for
termination of the Contract under 00180.90, and this escalation/de-escalation provision shall
not limit those rights.
00195.20 Changes to Plans or Character of Work:
A. Insignificant Changed Work-If the changes made under 00140.30 do not significantly change
the character, quantity or unit cost of the Work to be performed under the Contract, the
Agency will pay for such work at the Pay Item price.
B. Significant Changed Work -If the changes made under 00140.30 significantly alter the
character, unit cost, or lump sum cost of the Work, the Agency will adjust the Contract. The
Contractor shall not be entitled to compensation for any loss in profits resulting from
elimination of, reduction of, or other change to, a part of the Work.
Any such adjustments may be less than, but will not be more than the amount justified by the
Engineer on the basis of the established procedures set out in Section 00197 for determining
rates for Extra Work, but those procedures shall account for the decrease or elimination of
Work as well as for increases in the Work. This does not limit the application of Section 00199.
The term "Significant Changed Work" shall apply only to that circumstance in which the
character of the Work, as changed, differs materially in kind, nature, or unit cost from that
involved or included in the originally proposed construction.
For purposes of this Section, "Significant" is defined as:
1. An increase or decrease of more than 25 percent of the total cost of the Work calculated
from the original proposal quantities and the unit contract prices; or,
2. An increase or decrease of more than 25 percent in the quantity of any one major contract
item.
119
00195
For condition 2 above, a major item is defined as any item that amounts to 10 percent or more of
the original total contract price.
00195.30 Differing Site Conditions - Upon written notification, as required in 00140.40, the
Engineer will investigate the identified conditions. If the Engineer determines that the conditions are
differing Project site conditions under 00140.40 and cause an increase or decrease in the cost or time
required to perform any Work under the Contract, an adjustment in the Contract Amount or
Contract Time, excluding loss of anticipated profits, will be made, and the Contract modified
accordingly, in writing. The Engineer will notify the Contractor as to whether or not an adjustment
of the Contract is warranted.
No Contract adjustment which benefits the Contractor will be allowed unless the Contractor has
provided the required written notice. Any such adjustments will be made according to 00195.20.
00195.40 Unreasonable Delay by the Agency - If the Contractor believes that performance of all
or any portion of the Work is suspended, delayed, or interrupted for an unreasonable period of time
in excess of that originally anticipated or customary in the construction industry, due to acts or
omissions of the Agency, or persons acting for the Agency, and that additional compensation,
Contract Time, or both, are due the Contractor because of the suspension, delay or interruption, the
Contractor shall immediately file a written notice of delay according to 00180.60. The Contractor
shall then promptly submit a properly supported request for any additional compensation, Contract
Time, or both, according to the applicable provisions in 00180.60 through 00180.80 and
Section 00199.
The Engineer will promptly evaluate a properly submitted request for additional compensation. If
the Engineer determines that the delay was unreasonable, and that the cost required for the
Contractor to perform the Contract has increased as a result of the unreasonable suspension, delay
or interruption, the Engineer will make an equitable adjustment, excluding profit, and modify the
Contract in writing accordingly. The Engineer will notify the Contractor of the determination and
whether an adjustment to the Contract is warranted.
Under this provision, no Contract adjustment will be allowed
• Unless the Contractor has provided the written notice required by 00180.60;
• For costs incurred more than 10 Calendar Days before the Engineer receives the Contractor's
properly submitted written request;
• For any portion of a delay that the Engineer deems to be a reasonable delay, or for which an
adjustment is provided for or excluded under other terms of the Contract; or
• To the extent that performance would nevertheless have been suspended, delayed or interrupted
by causes other than those described in this Subsection.
00195.50 Progress Payments and Retained Amounts:
A. Progress Payments - The Agency's payment of progress payments, or determination of
satisfactory completion of Pay Items or Work or release of retainage under 00195.50(d), shall
120
00195
not be construed as Final Acceptance or approval of any part of the Work, and shall not relieve
the Contractor of responsibility for defective Materials or workmanship or for latent defects
and warranty obligations.
The estimates upon which progress payments are based are not represented to be accurate
estimates. All estimated quantities are subject to correction in the final estimate. If the
Contractor uses these estimates as a basis for making payments to Subcontractors, the
Contractor assumes all risk and bears any losses that result.
Progress payments shall be determined through the use of forms developed by the Engineer.
1. Progress Estimates - At the same time each month, the Engineer will make an estimate
of the amount and value of Pay Item Work completed. The amount of Work completed
will be the sum of the estimated number of units completed for unit price Pay Items plus
the estimated percentage completed of lump sum Pay Items.
The estimated value of the Work completed will be determined by using the Contract unit
price for unit price Pay Items, and by using one of the following methods to determine the
value of the lump sum Pay Items:
• A Contractor-submitted, Engineer-approved Schedule of Values; or
• Engineer's determination, when there is no approved, Contractor-submitted Schedule of
Values.
The amounts to be allowed for lump sum Pay Items in progress payments will not exceed
the reasonable value of the Work performed, as determined by the Engineer.
Incidentals such as formwork, falsework, shoring, and cribbing shall be included in the unit
prices for the various Pay Items requiring their use, unless specified as a separate Pay Item.
No payment will be made for Pay Items that include Incidentals until units or portions of
such Pay Item Work are in place and completed. The costs of Incidentals will be paid in
proportion to the percentage of Pay Item Work completed.
2. Value of Materials on Hand- If payment for Materials on Hand is allowed in the Special
Provisions, the Engineer will also make an estimate of the amount and value of acceptable
Materials on Hand, i.e., already delivered and stored according to 00195.60(a), to be
incorporated into the Work.
3. Value of Work Accomplished- The sum of the values in (1) and (2) above will be
collectively referred to in this Subsection as the "value of Work accomplished", subject to
(4) below.
4. Limitations on Value of Work Accomplished- In determining the "value of Work
accomplished", the Engineer's estimate will be based on the unit prices for the various Pay
Items. Any amounts not included in progress payments due to substantial mathematical
121
00195
unbalancing of Pay Item prices will be included in the final payment issued according
to 00195.90B.
5. Reductions to Progress Payments -With each progress payment, the Contractor will
receive a Contract payment voucher and summary setting forth the value of Work
accomplished reduced by the following:
• Amounts previously paid;
• Amounts deductible or owed to the Agency for any cause specified in the Contract;
• Additional amounts retained to protect the Agency's interests according to Subsection (e)
below.
B. Retainage- The amount to be retained from progress payments will be 5% of the value of
Work accomplished, and will be retained in one of the forms specified in Subsection (c) below.
As provided in 00170.65,B.3(a) additional retainage of 25% of amounts earned will be withheld
and released according to ORS 279C.845 when the Contractor fails to file the certified
statements required in ORS 279C.845, FHWA Form 1273, and 00170.65.
C. Forms of Retainage - Moneys retained by the Agency under ORS 279C.570(7) shall be
retained in a fund by the Agency and paid to the Contractor in accordance with ORS
279C.570. Upon written request from the Contractor, other forms of acceptable retainage are
specified below in Subsections (1) through (3). "Cash, Alternate A" is the Agency-preferred
form of retainage. If the Agency incurs additional costs as a result of the Contractor's election
to use a form of retainage other than Cash, Alternate A, the Agency may recover such costs
from the Contractor by a reduction of the final payment.
1. Cash, Alternate A-Retainage will be deducted from progress payments and held by the
Agency until final payment is made according to 00195.90, unless otherwise specified in the
Contract.
The Agency will deposit the cash retainage withheld in an interest-bearing account in a bank,
trust company, or savings association for the benefit of the Agency, as provided by ORS
279C.560(5). Interest earned on the account shall accrue to the Contractor. Amounts
retained and interest earned will be included in the final payment made according to
00195.90.
Any retainage withheld on Work performed by a Subcontractor will be released to the
Contractor according to 00195.50D.
2. Cash, Alternate B (Retainage Surety Bond) - Upon receipt of an approved retainage surety
bond, the Agency will limit the amount of cash retainage withheld to $10,000. The surety
bond must be in the bond form provided by the Agency. The bond must be provided by the
same Surety that provides the Performance and Payment Bonds.
122
00195
If the Contractor elects this form of retainage, the Agency will withhold from progress
payments up to 5% of the value of the Work accomplished as cash retainage until the
retained amount equals $10,000. After that amount is retained, no further cash retainage
will be withheld until the additional required retainage that would have been withheld
exceeds the face amount of the retainage surety bond provided. Thereafter, retainage will
be withheld from progress payments according to these Specifications. According to
00195.50B, if at any time the Agency determines that satisfactory progress is not being made
on the Work, the Agency may withhold up to 5% of the value of the Work accomplished
from subsequent progress payments.
If an acceptable retainage surety bond is provided, the Contractor shall notify all
Subcontractors of the existence of the retainage surety bond and shall advise them of their
rights under ORS 279C.560(7) and ORS 701.435.
Amounts of retainage withheld under the provision will be included in the final payment
according to 00195.90.
Any retainage withheld on Work performed by a Subcontractor shall be released to the
Contractor according to 00195.50D.
3. Bonds, Securities, and Other Instruments - In accordance with ORS 279C.560, unless the
Agency finds in writing that accepting a bond, security or other instrument poses an
extraordinary risk that is not typically associated with the bond, security or other
instrument, the Agency will approve the Contractor's written request to deposit bonds,
securities or other instruments with the Agency or in a custodial account or other account
satisfactory to the Agency with an approved bank or trust company, to be held instead of
cash retainage for the benefit of the Agency. In such event, the Agency will reduce the cash
retainage by an amount equal to the value of the bonds, securities and other instruments.
Interest or earnings on the bonds, securities and other instruments shall accrue to the
Contractor.
Bonds, securities and other instruments deposited instead of cash retainage shall be assigned
to or made payable to the Agency and shall be of a kind approved by the Director of the
Oregon Department of Administrative Services, including but not limited to:
• Bills, certificates, notes or bonds of the United States;
• Other obligations of the United States or agencies of the United States;
• Obligations of a corporation wholly owned by the federal government;
• Indebtedness of the Federal National Mortgage Association;
• General obligation bonds of the State of Oregon or a political subdivision of the State of
Oregon;
• Irrevocable letters of credit issued by an insured institution, as defined in ORS 706.008.
The Contractor shall execute and provide such documentation and instructions respecting
the bonds, securities and other instruments as the Agency may require to protect its
123
00195
interests. When the Engineer determines that all requirements for the protection of the
Agency's interest have been fulfilled, the bonds and securities deposited instead of cash
retainage will be released to the Contractor.
D. Reduction of Retainage - As the Work progresses, the amounts to be retained under (b) of this
Subsection are subject to reduction in the Engineer's sole discretion. Retainage reductions will
be considered only as follows:
• When the Work is 97.5% or more completed, the Engineer may, without application by the
Contractor, reduce the retained amount to 100% of the value of the Work remaining.
• For a project funded by the FHWA, when a subcontractor has satisfactorily completed all of
its Work, it may request release of retainage for that Work from the Contractor. The
Contractor shall request reduction of retainage in the amount withheld for the
subcontractor's Work after certifying to the Agency that the subcontractor's Work is
complete, and that all contractual requirements pertaining to the subcontractor's Work have
been satisfied. Within 60 Calendar Days of the end of the month in which the Agency
receives the Contractor's certification regarding the subcontractor's Work, the Agency will
either notify the Contractor of any deficiencies which require completion before release of
retainage, or verify that the subcontractor's Work complies with the Contract and release all
retainage for that Work with the next scheduled progress payment. Within 10 Calendar
Days of receipt of retainage, the Contractor shall pay to the subcontractor all such retainage
released except for latent defects or warranty.
• The Agency will only release retainage for satisfactorily completed portions of the Work
represented by Pay Items in the Schedule of Items, or by Pay Items added by Change Order.
Work not represented by a Pay Item, but which constitutes part of an uncompleted Pay
Item, will not be regarded as satisfactorily completed Work for the purposes of this
Subsection.
If retainage has been reduced or eliminated, the Agency reserves the right to protect its
interests by retaining amounts from further progress payments at the rates provided in
00195.50B.
E. Withholding Payments - In addition to any other rights the Agency may have to withhold
payments under other provisions of the Contract, the Engineer may withhold such amounts
from progress payments or final payment as may reasonably protect the Agency's interests
until the Contractor has:
• Completed all Final Trimming and Cleanup according to 00140.90 and Punch List work
according to 00150.90A. An amount of up to twice the Engineer's estimated value of Final
Trimming and Punch List work may be withheld.
• Complied with all orders issued by the Engineer according to the Specifications; and
• Satisfied all legal actions filed against the Agency, the Agency's governing body and its
members, and Agency employees that the Contractor is obliged to defend. (see 00170.72)
124
00195
Notwithstanding ORS 279C.555 or ORS 279C.570 or 00195.50D, if a Contractor is required
to file statements on the prevailing rate of wages, but fails to do so, the Agency will retain 25%
of any amount earned as required in 00170.65.
F. Prompt Payment Policy-Payments shall be made promptly according to ORS 279C.570.
00195.60 Advance Allowance for Materials on Hand:
(b) General - If the total value of Materials on Hand is at least $1,000 or the total value of a single
class of Materials on Hand is at least $500, the Engineer may authorize an advance allowance
for the Materials in the progress payments. The Agency will not make advance allowances on
the Materials unless the following three conditions are satisfied:
1. Request for Advance Allowance-If Materials on Hand meet the requirement of (2) below,
an advance allowance will be made if:
• A written request for advance allowance for Materials on Hand has been received by the
Engineer at least 5 Calendar Days before the pay period cutoff date; and
• The request is accompanied by written consent of the Contractor's Surety, if required by
the Agency.
2. Stored or Stockpiled Conditions - The Materials shall have been delivered and/or
acceptably stored or stockpiled according to the Specifications and as follows:
• At the Project Site;
• On Agency-owned property;
• On property in the State of Oregon on which the property owner has authorized storage in
writing. The written authorization must allow the Agency to enter upon the property and
remove Materials for at least 6 months after completion of the Project. The Contractor
shall furnish a copy of the written permission to the Agency; or
• On property outside the State of Oregon on which the property owner has authorized
storage in writing, provided that such storage location is authorized in writing by the
Engineer. The permit must allow the Agency to enter upon the property and remove
Materials for at least 6 months after completion of the Project. The Contractor shall furnish
a copy of the written permission to the Agency.
To be eligible for advance allowance, the Materials shall:
• Meet Specification requirements;
• Have the required Materials conformance and quality compliance documents on file with
the Engineer (see Section 00165);
• Be in a form ready for incorporation into the Work; and
• Be clearly marked and identified as being specifically fabricated, or produced, and reserved
for use on the Project.
125
00195
3. Responsibility for Protection- The Contractor has full control and responsibility for the
protection of Materials on Hand from the elements and against damage, loss, theft, or other
impairment until the entire Project has been completed and accepted by the Agency.
If Materials are damaged, lost, stolen, or otherwise impaired while stored, the monetary
value advanced for them, if any, will be deducted from the next progress payment.
If these conditions in 00195.60A.1 through 00195.60A.3 have been satisfied, the amount of advance
allowance, less the retainage described in 00195.50, will be determined by one of the following
methods as elected by the Engineer:
• Net cost to the Contractor of the Materials, f.o.b. the Project Site or other approved site; or
• Price (or portion of it attributable to the Materials), less the cost of incorporating the Materials
into the Project, as estimated by the Engineer.
(c) Proof of Payment - The Contractor shall provide the Engineer with proof of payment to the
Materials suppliers for purchased Materials prior to the date of the progress payment that
includes the advance allowance.
If proof of payment is not provided, sums advanced will be deducted from future progress
payments, and the Engineer will not approve further prepayment advance allowance requests.
(d) Terminated Contract- If the Contract is terminated, the Contractor shall provide the Agency
immediate possession of all Materials for which advance allowances have been received, as
provided above. If, for any reason, immediate possession of the Materials cannot be provided,
the Contractor shall immediately refund to the Agency the total amount advanced for the
Materials. The Agency may deduct any amount not so refunded from final payment.
00195.70 Payment under Terminated Contract - Payment for Work performed under a Contract
that is terminated according to the provisions of 00180.90 will be determined under (a) or (b) of this
Subsection.
A. Termination for Default - Upon termination of the Contract for the Contractor's default, the
Agency will make no further payment until the Project has been completed. The Agency will
make progress payments to the party to whom the Contract is assigned, but may withhold an
amount sufficient to cover anticipated Agency costs, as determined by the Engineer, to
complete the Project.
Upon completion of the Project, the Engineer will determine the total amount that the
defaulting Contractor would have been entitled to receive for the Work, under the terms of
the Contract, had the Contractor completed the Work (the "cost of the Work").
If the cost of the Work, less the sum of all amounts previously paid to the Contractor, exceeds
the expense incurred by the Agency in completing the Work, including without limitation
expense for additional managerial and administrative services, the Agency will pay the excess
to the Contractor, subject to the consent of the Contractor's Surety.
126
00195
If the expense incurred by the Agency in completing the Work exceeds the Contract Amount,
the Contractor or the Contractor's Surety shall pay to the Agency the amount of the excess
expense.
The Engineer will determine the expense incurred by the Agency and the total amount of
Agency damage resulting from the Contractor's default. That determination will be final as
provided in 00150.00.
If a termination for default is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unjustified, it shall be deemed a termination for public convenience, and payment to the
Contractor will be made as provided in Subsection B below.
B. Termination for Public Convenience:
1. General - Full or partial termination of the Contract shall not relieve the Contractor of
responsibility for completed or performed Work, or relieve the Contractor's Surety of the
obligation for any just claims arising from the completed or performed Work.
2. Mobilization-If mobilization is not a separate Pay Item, and payment is not otherwise
provided for under the Contract, the Agency may pay the Contractor for mobilization
expenses, including moving Equipment to and from the Project Site. If allowed, payment of
mobilization expenses will be based on cost documentation submitted by the Contractor to
the Engineer.
3. All Other Work - The Agency shall pay the Contractor at the unit price for the number of
Pay Item units of completed, accepted Work. For units of Pay Items partially completed,
payment will be as mutually agreed, or, if not agreed, as the Engineer determines to be fair
and equitable. No claim for loss of anticipated profits will be allowed. The Agency will
purchase Materials left on hand according to 00195.80.
00195.80 Allowance for Materials Left on Hand:
A. Purchase of Unused Materials - If Materials are delivered to the Project Site, or otherwise
acceptably stored at the order of the Engineer, but not incorporated into the Work due to
complete or partial elimination of Pay Items, changes in Plans, or termination of the Contract
for public convenience according to 00180.90, and it is not commercially feasible for the
Contractor to return them for credit or otherwise dispose of them on the open market; the
Agency may purchase them according to the formula and conditions specified in Subsection B
below.
B. Purchase Formula and Conditions:
1. Formula- The Agency will apply the following formula in determining the Contractor's
allowance for Materials left on hand:
127
00195
Contractor's Actual Cost, plus 5% Overhead Allowance, minus Advance Allowances under
00195.60, but no markup or profit.
2. Conditions - The Agency will not purchase the Contractor's Materials left on hand unless
the Contractor satisfies the following conditions:
• Requests the Agency's purchase of unused Materials;
• Shows acquisition of the Materials according to 00160.10;
• Shows that the Materials meet Specifications;
• Provides receipts, bills and other records of actual cost of Materials delivered to the
designated delivery points; and
• Demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Engineer that the materials cannot be returned for
credit or otherwise disposed of on the open market.
00195.90 Final Payment:
A. Final Estimate-As soon as practicable after Final Inspection of the Project, as provided
in 00150.90, the Engineer will prepare a final estimate of the quantities of the Pay Items
completed. With this estimate of quantities as a base, the total amount due the Contractor will
be determined according to the terms of the Contract including without limitation any
amounts due for Extra Work performed.
B. Final Payment- The amount of final payment will be the difference between the total amount
due the Contractor and the sum of all payments previously made. All prior partial estimates
and payments shall be subject to correction in the final estimate and payment.
After computation of the final amount due, and after Engineer's issuance of the Third
Notification, final payment will be mailed to the Contractor's last known address as shown in
the records of the Agency.
Beginning 30 Calendar Days after the date of Third Notification, interest will begin to accrue
at the rate established by ORS 279C.570 on any money due and payable to the Contractor as
final payment, determined as described above. No interest will be paid on money withheld
due to outstanding amounts owed by the Contractor under the provisions of 00170.10.
C. No Waiver of Right to Make Adjustment- The fact that the Agency has made any
measurement, estimate, determination or certification either before or after completion of the
Project, Final Acceptance, Agency assumption of possession of the Project Site, determination
of satisfactory completion of Pay Items or Work or release of retainage under 00195.50(d) or
payment for any part of the Work, shall not prevent either party from:
• Showing the true amount and character of the Work;
• Showing that any measurement, estimate, determination or certification is incorrect;
• Recovering from the other party damages that may have been suffered because the other
party failed to comply with the Contract.
128
00195
D. Evidence of Contractor Payments - As a condition of final payment, the Agency may require
the Contractor to submit evidence, satisfactory to the Engineer, that all payrolls, material bills,
and other indebtedness connected with the project have been paid, except that in case of any
disputed indebtedness or liens, the Contractor may submit in lieu of evidence of payment, a
surety bond satisfactory to the Agency guaranteeing payment of all such disputed amounts
when adjudicated in cases where such payment has not already been guaranteed by surety
bond.
00195.95 Error in Final Quantities and Amounts:
A. Request for Correction of Compensation - If the Contractor believes the quantities and
amounts detailed in the final Contract payment voucher, prepared by the Engineer according
to 00195.90, to be incorrect, the Contractor shall submit an itemized statement to the Engineer
detailing all proposed corrections.
This statement must be submitted to the Engineer within 90 Calendar Days from the date the
voucher was mailed to the Contractor, according to 00195.90B. Any request for
compensation not submitted and supported by an itemized statement within the 90 Calendar
Day period will not be paid by the Agency. This does not limit the application of Section
00199.
B. Acceptance or Rejection of Request:
1. Consideration of Request - The Engineer will consider and investigate the Contractor's
request for correction of compensation submitted according to 00195.95A, and will
promptly advise the Contractor of acceptance or rejection of the request in full or in part.
2. Acceptance of Request - If the Engineer accepts the Contractor's request(s) in full or in part,
the Engineer will prepare a post-final Contract payment voucher, including all accepted
corrections, and will forward it to the Contractor.
3. Rejection of Request - If the Engineer rejects the request(s) in full, the Engineer will issue a
written notice of rejection and mail it to the Contractor.
4. Contractor Objection to Revised Voucher or Notice of Rejection - If the Contractor
disagrees with the revised voucher or notice of rejection, the Contractor may seek review
and resolution according to the procedure specified in 00199.40. If the Contractor fails to
submit a request for 00199.40 review within 30 Calendar Days after the Engineer mails a
post-final Contract payment voucher or notice of rejection, the Contractor waives all rights
to a claim based on errors in quantities and amounts.
If the Engineer rejects the Contractor's request on the basis that the issue was not one that
qualified for treatment under this Section, no review according to 00199.40 will be allowed.
129
00196
Section 00196 - Payment for Extra Work
00196.00 General - Only work not included in the Contract as awarded but deemed by the
Engineer to be necessary to complete the Project (see 00140.60) will be paid as Extra Work.
Regardless of alterations and changes, any item of Work provided for in the Contract will not
constitute Extra Work. Payment for alterations and changes to Work will be made according
to 00195.20.
Compensation for Extra Work will be paid only for Work authorized in writing by the Engineer
and performed as specified. Work performed before issuance of the Engineer's written authorization
shall be at the Contractor's risk. Extra Work will be paid as determined by the Engineer, according
to 00196.10 and 00196.20.
00196.10 Negotiated Price - If the Engineer can reasonably determine a price estimate for Extra
Work, the Engineer may then give written authorization to the Contractor to begin the Extra Work.
As soon as practicable, but within 10 Calendar Days after that authorization, the Contractor shall
respond in writing to the Engineer's Extra Work price estimate by submitting to the Engineer an
Extra Work price quote. The price quote shall detail the following items related to the Extra Work:
• Types and amounts of Materials
• Hours of Equipment use and hours of labor
• Travel
• Overhead and profit
• Other costs associated with the proposed Extra Work
Pending approval of the price quote, the Engineer will maintain force account records of the Extra
Work. As soon as practicable, but within 10 Calendar Days of receipt of a properly supported price
quote, the Engineer will review the price quote and advise the Contractor if it is accepted or rejected.
The Engineer will not accept a price quote that cannot be justified on a Force Account basis. If the
Contractor's price is accepted, the Engineer will issue a Change Order, and the Extra Work will be
paid at the accepted price.
00196.20 Force Account- If the Engineer and the Contractor cannot agree on a price for the Extra
Work, the Engineer may issue a Force Account Work order requiring the Extra Work to be paid as
Force Account Work. Force Account Work records and payment will be made according to
Section 00197.
130
00197
Section 00197 - Payment for Force Account Work
00197.00 Scope- The Materials, Equipment and Labor rates and procedures established in this
Section apply only to Extra Work ordered by the Engineer to be performed as Force Account Work.
00197.01 Extra Work on a Force Account Basis - Before ordering Force Account Work, the
Engineer will discuss the proposed work with the Contractor, and will seek the Contractor's
comments and advice concerning the formulation of Force Account Work specifications. The
Engineer is not bound by the Contractor's comments and advice, and has final authority to:
• Determine and direct the Materials, Equipment and Labor to be used on the approved Force
Account Work; and
• Determine the time of the Contractor's performance of the ordered Force Account Work.
Force account work performed by subcontractors will be measured and paid for on the same basis
and in the same manner as force account work performed directly by the Contractor.
If the Engineer orders the performance of Extra Work as Force Account Work, the Engineer will
record, on a daily basis, the Materials, Equipment, and Labor used for the Force Account Work
during that day. The Engineer and the Contractor shall sign the record daily to indicate agreement
on the Materials, Equipment, and Labor used for the Force Account Work performed on that day.
The following shall be reflected on the daily record:
• Materials used in the Force Account Work as directed by the Engineer, except those furnished
and paid under rental rates for use of Equipment;
• Equipment which the Engineer considers necessary to perform the Force Account Work.
Equipment hours will be recorded to the nearest quarter hour;
• Labor costs, including that of Equipment operators and supervisors in direct charge of the
specific operations while engaged in the Force Account Work; and
• The Engineer's and Contractor's signatures confirming its accuracy.
00197.10 Materials:
A. General - The Contractor will be paid for Materials actually used in the Force Account Work
as directed by the Engineer, except for those furnished and paid for under rental rates included
with the use of Equipment. Payments will be at actual cost, including transportation costs to
the specified location, from the supplier to the purchaser, whether the purchaser is the
Contractor, a Subcontractor, or other forces. All costs are subject to the provisions of this
Subsection.
B. Trade Discount-If a commercial trade discount is offered or available to the purchaser, it shall
be credited to the Agency, even though the discount may not have actually been taken. The
Agency will not take any discounts for prompt or early payment, whether or not offered or
taken.
131
00197
C. Not Directly Purchased From Supplier- If Materials cannot be obtained by direct purchase
from and direct billing by the supplier, the cost shall be considered to be the price billed to the
purchaser less commercial trade discounts, as determined by the Engineer, but not more than
the purchaser paid for the Materials. No markup other than actual handling costs will be
permitted.
D. Purchaser-Owned Source - If Materials are obtained from a supply or source wholly or partly
owned by the purchaser, the cost shall not exceed the price paid by the purchaser for similar
Materials furnished from that source on Pay Items, or the current wholesale price for the
Materials delivered to the Project Site, whichever is lower.
00197.20 Equipment:
A. General - Equipment approved by the Engineer to perform the Force Account Work will be
eligible for payment at the established rates only during the hours it is operated or on standby
if so ordered by the Engineer. Equipment hours will be recorded on the daily record to the
nearest quarter hour.
Except as modified by these provisions, Equipment use approved by the Engineer will be paid
at the rental rates given in the most current edition of the Rental Rate Blue Books for
Construction Equipment ("Blue Book"), Volumes 1, 2, and 3, published by Penton Media,
Inc., and available from EquipmentWatch (phone 1-800-669-3282).
B. Equipment Description - On the billing form for Equipment costs, the Contractor shall
submit to the Engineer sufficient information for each piece of Equipment and its attachments
to enable the Engineer to determine the proper rental rate from the Blue Book.
C. Rental Rates (without Operator):
1. Rental Rate Formula- Rental rates for Equipment will be paid on an hourly basis for
Equipment and for attachments according to the following formula:
Monthly Base Rate x Rate Adjustment Factor
Hourly 176 hours/month Rate = + Hourly Operating Rate
Some attachments are considered "standard Equipment" and are already included in the
monthly base rate for the Equipment. That information can be obtained from
EquipmentWatch.
2. Monthly Base Rate - The monthly base rate used above for the machinery and for
attachments represents the major costs of Equipment ownership, such as depreciation,
interest, taxes, insurance, storage, and major repairs.
3. Rate Adjustment Factor- The rate adjustment factor used above will be determined by
applying only the Model Year Adjustment to the Blue Book Rates. The Regional and User
Defined Ownership/Operating Adjustments shall not apply.
132
00197
4. Hourly Operating Rate- The hourly operating rate used above for the machinery and for
attachments represents the major costs of Equipment operations, such as fuel and oil,
lubrications, field repairs, tires or ground engaging components, and expendable parts.
5. Limitations - If multiple attachments are included with the rental Equipment, and are not
considered "standard Equipment", only the attachment having the higher rental rate will be
eligible for payment, provided the attachment has been approved by the Engineer as
necessary to the Force Account Work.
Rental will not be allowed for small tools that have a daily rental rate of less than $5, or for
unlisted Equipment that has a fair market value of$400 or less.
The above rates apply to approved Equipment in good working condition. Equipment not in
good working condition, or larger than required to efficiently perform the work, may be
rejected by the Engineer or accepted and paid for at reduced rates.
D. Moving Equipment-If it is necessary to transport Equipment located beyond the Project Site
exclusively for Force Account Work, the actual cost to transport the Equipment to, and return
it from, its On-Site Work location will be allowed as an additional item of expense. However,
the return cost will not exceed the original delivery cost. These costs will not be allowed for
Equipment that is brought to the Project Site for Force Account Work if the Equipment is also
used on Pay Item or related Work.
If transportation of such Equipment is by common carrier, payment will be made in the
amount paid for the freight. No markups will be allowed on common carrier transportation
costs. If the Equipment is hauled with the Contractor's own forces, transportation costs will
include the rental rate of the hauling unit and the hauling unit operator's wage. If Equipment
is transferred under its own power, the rental rate allowed for transportation time will be 75%
of the appropriate hourly rate for the Equipment, without attachments, plus the Equipment
operator's wage.
E. Standby Time-If ordered by the Engineer, standby time will be paid at 40% of the hourly
rental rate calculated according to this Subsection, excluding the hourly operating rate. Rates
for standby time that are calculated at less than $1 per hour will not be paid. Payment will be
limited to not more than 8 hours in a 24-hour period or 40 hours in a 1 week period. Standby
Time provisions shall also apply to Section 00195 -Payment.
F. Blue Book Omissions - If a rental rate has not been established in the Blue Book, the
Contractor may:
• If approved by the Engineer, use the rate of the most similar model found in the Blue Book,
considering such characteristics as manufacturer, capacity, horsepower, age and fuel type;
• Request EquipmentWatch to furnish a written response for a rental rate on the Equipment,
which shall be presented to the Engineer for approval; or
• Request that the Engineer establish a rental rate.
133
00197
G. Outside Rental Equipment- If Contractor-owned or Subcontractor-owned Equipment is not
available, and Equipment is rented from outside sources, payment will be based on the actual
paid invoice. Approval of the Engineer to rent from outside sources must be obtained prior to
renting the equipment.
If the invoice specifies that rental rate does not include fuel, lubricants, field repairs, and
servicing, an amount equal to the Blue Book hourly operating cost may be added for those
items that were excluded.
The Agency may reduce the payment when the invoice amount plus allowance is higher than
the amount authorized under C through F of this Subsection.
00197.30 Labor - The Contractor will be paid for all labor engaged directly on Force Account
Work, including Equipment operators and supervisors in direct charge of the specific force account
operations, as follows:
A. Wages - The actual wages paid to laborers and supervisors, if those wages are paid at rates not
more than those for comparable labor currently employed on the Project, or at the recognized,
current, prevailing rates in the locality of the Project.
B. Required Contributions - The actual cost of industrial accident insurance, unemployment
compensation contributions, payroll transit district taxes, and social security for old age
assistance contributions incurred or required under statutory law and these Specifications. The
actual cost of industrial accident insurance is the National Council on Compensation Insurance
(NCCI) rate for the assigned risk pool for the appropriate work class multiplied by the
experience modification factor for the Contractor.
C. Required Benefits - The actual amount paid to, or on behalf of, workers as per diem and travel
allowances, health and welfare benefits, pension fund benefits, or other benefits when such
other benefits are required by a collective bargaining agreement or other employment contract
generally applicable to the classes of labor employed on the Project.
D. Overtime-No overtime will be compensated unless authorized in advance of performing the
Work by the Engineer.
00197.80 Percentage Allowances - To the Contractor's actual costs incurred, as limited in this
Section 00197, amounts equal to a percentage markup of such costs will be allowed and paid to the
Contractor as follows:
Subsection Percent
00197.10 Materials 17
00197.20 Equipment 17
00197.30 Labor 22
134
00197
When a Subcontractor performs ordered Force Account Work, the Contractor will be allowed a
supplemental markup of 8% on each Force Account Work order.
These allowances made to the Contractor will constitute complete compensation for bonds,
insurance, overhead, general and administrative expense, profit, and all other Force Account Work
costs that were incurred by the Contractor, or by other forces that the Contractor furnished. No
other reimbursement, compensation, or payment will be made.
00197.90 Billings - Billings for Force Account Work by the Contractor shall be submitted for the
Engineer's approval on forms provided by the Agency or approved by the Engineer. Billings for
Materials (other than Incidental items out of the inventory of the Contractor or Subcontractors),
rental Equipment from sources other than the Contractor or Subcontractors, and Special Services,
shall be accompanied by copies of invoices for the goods and services. The invoices shall be fully
itemized showing dates, quantities, unit prices, and complete descriptions of goods and services
provided. Invoices for amounts of $10 or less per invoice are not required, unless requested by the
Engineer.
Costs included on the billings shall comply with 00197.01 and 00197.10 through 00197.30. When a
billing for Force Account Work has been paid at the Project level, no further corrections will be
made because of further review if those corrections amount to less than $10.
135
00199
Section 00199 - Disagreements, Protests, and Claims
00199.00 General - This Section details the process through which the parties agree to resolve any
disagreement concerning additional compensation or concerning a combination of additional
compensation and Contract Time. (See 00180.80 for disagreements and claims concerning additional
Contract Time only, and 00195.95 for disagreements and claims concerning correction of final
compensation.) The Agency will not consider direct disagreements, protests, or claims from
subcontractors, Suppliers, or any other Entity not a party to the Contract.
00199.10 Procedure for Resolving Disagreements - When disagreements occur concerning
additional compensation or a combination of additional compensation and Contract Time, the
Contractor shall first pursue resolution through the Engineer of all issues in the dispute, including
without limitation the items to be included in the written notice in 00199.20. If the discussion fails
to provide satisfactory resolution of the disagreement, the Contractor shall follow the protest
procedures outlined in 00199.20. If the Engineer denies all or part of the Contractor's protest, and
the Contractor desires to further pursue the issues, the Contractor shall submit a claim for
processing according to 00199.30.
00199.15 Inappropriate Protest or Claim - It shall be presumed that the Contractor submits a
protest or claim for additional compensation in good faith, based upon facts which reasonably
support the Contractor's position and with full knowledge and understanding of the injury done to
the Agency when notice of differing Project Site conditions or claims for additional compensation
are not submitted in a timely manner as required under the Contract. Accordingly, the submission
of a protest or claim without the concurrent submission of evidence that reasonably supports the
protest or claim, or the submission of a protest or claim in an untimely manner will constitute a
waiver of the protest or claim.
00199.20 Protest Procedure - f the Contractor disagrees with anything required in a Change Order
or other written or oral order from the Engineer, including any direction, instruction,
interpretation, or determination, or if the Contractor asserts a disagreement or dispute on any other
basis, except 0195.95, that, in the Contractor's opinion, entitles or would entitle the Contractor to
additional compensation or a combination of compensation and Contract Time, the Contractor shall
do all of the following in order to pursue a protest and preserve its claim:
A. Oral Notice - Give oral notice of protest to the Engineer and outline the areas of
disagreement before starting or continuing the protested Work.
B. Written Confirmation of Oral Notice - Not later than the end of the next business day
following the day that oral notice of protest is given, deliver written documentation to the
Engineer of the oral notice that includes the notice of protest and the areas of disagreement.
C. Written Notice - File a proper written notice of protest with the Engineer within
7 Calendar Days after receiving the protested order. In the notice the Contractor shall:
• Describe the acts or omissions of the Agency or its agents that allegedly caused or may cause
damage to the Contractor or to the Project, citing specific facts, persons, dates and Work
involved;
136
00199
• Describe the Contractor's proposed alternative to the Work ordered, if any, which will
avoid damage to Contractor or to the Project;
• Describe the nature of the damages;
• Cite the specific Contract provision(s), if any, that support the protest;
• Include the estimated dollar cost, if any, of the protested Work, and furnish a list of
estimated Materials, Equipment and labor for which the Contractor might request
additional compensation; and
• If additional compensation is estimated to be due, include the estimated amount of
additional time required, if any.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS NOTICE REQUIREMENT RENDERS THE
NOTICE IMPROPER AND SHALL CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF ANY CLAIM FOR
ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION OR A COMBINATION OF ADDITIONAL
COMPENSATION AND CONTRACT TIME FOR ANY PART OF THE PROTESTED
WORK.
D. Engineer's Record and Response - The Engineer will file a copy of each written notice of
protest in the Project records and will issue a written response to the protest within seven
(7) Work Days of receipt of a timely filed written notice of protest. The Engineer has no
responsibility to evaluate the protest unless the Contractor has timely filed a proper notice
submitting all of the above information.
E. Final Documentation of Claim - Within 60 Calendar Days following completion of the
protested work, Contractor shall provide the Engineer with complete documentation of
protested work, listing exact materials, equipment and labor used for the work and the
dollar amount requested for each. If the claim is accepted, no additional compensation will
be awarded based on documentation submitted after this deadline. If the claim is denied or
if the Contractor is not satisfied with the decision by the Engineer, the amount claimed by
the Contractor in any subsequent Step or proceeding may not exceed the dollar amount
requested under this subsection.
F. Records - Keep complete records of all costs and time incurred throughout the protested
Work, and allow the Engineer access to those and other supporting records. Provide daily
records of protested Work, on a weekly basis, on a schedule to be set by agreement with the
Engineer.
G. Comparison of Records - Provide the Engineer adequate facilities for keeping cost and time
records of the protested Work. The Contractor and the Engineer will compare records and
either bring them into agreement at the end of each day, or record and attempt to explain
any differences.
H. Work to Proceed - In spite of any protest, proceed promptly with the Work ordered by the
Engineer.
137
00199
I. Evaluation of Protest- The Engineer has no responsibility for evaluating a protest that is
not timely filed, or for which adequate supporting documentation has not been made
available to the Engineer. Provided the procedures above are followed, the Engineer will
promptly evaluate all protests, after the Contractor has fully complied with the
requirements described in 00199.20C, Written Notice. If the protest is denied, the Engineer
will notify the Contractor in writing of the reasons for full or partial denial. If a protest is
found to be valid, the Engineer will, within a reasonable time, make an equitable
adjustment of the Contract. Adjustment of time will be evaluated according to 00180.80.
The Engineer has no responsibility for evaluating and may reject a protest that does not comply
with 00199.20B. If the protest is rejected, the Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing of the
reasons for rejection.
J. Protest Evaluation by Third Party Neutral -If the Engineer agrees that the Contractor
has fully complied with the requirements described in 00199.20(C), and if the Engineer fully
or partially denies, in writing, the Contractor's protest according to 00199.20(E), the
Contractor may request that a mutually selected Third Party Neutral review the protest.
Procedures for selecting, using, and paying for the cost of the Third Party Neutral will be
specified by Change Order.
If the Contractor does not accept the Engineer's evaluation of the protest, or either the Contractor
or Engineer disagrees with the resolution recommended by the Third Party Neutral, the
Contractor may pursue a claim as described in 00199.30.
00199.30 Claims Procedure:
A. General -If the Contractor believes that additional compensation is due, or a combination of
additional compensation and Contract Time, and has pursued and exhausted all the procedures
provided in 00199.10 and 00199.20 to resolve a disagreement and protest, the Contractor may
file a claim.
The Agency's Contract is with the Contractor. There is no contractual relationship between the
Agency and any subcontractors, Suppliers or any Entity other than the Contractor. It is the
Contractor's responsibility to fully evaluate any claim before presenting it to the Agency. In
addition, when a claim includes Work done or costs incurred by any subcontractors, Suppliers, or
any Entity other than the Contractor, the Contractor remains solely responsible for presenting the
claim to the Agency.
Claims that include Work done or costs incurred by subcontractors, Suppliers, or any Entity other
than the Contractor will not be considered by the Agency unless the Contractor has:
• Completed and provided its own written evaluation of the claim;
• Verified by its own independent review and evaluation of the amount of compensation
sought; and
• Certified the claim in accordance with 00199.30B (Part 10).
138
00199
B. Claims Requirements - At any time during the progress of the Work, but not later than
45 Calendar Days following the date of the Second Notification, the Contractor shall submit
to the Engineer in writing, claims for additional compensation or a combination of additional
compensation and Contract Time additional to that specified in the Contract. For a claim not
submitted within the 45 day limit, that has not met the requirements of 00199.20, or is not
filed as provided in 00199.30, the Contractor waives any claim for additional compensation or
for additional compensation and Contract Time, and the Agency may reject the claim.
Written claims to the Engineer or the Agency by the Contractor shall be delivered to the
Agency address shown in the Public Improvement Contract, unless a different address is
agreed to by the Engineer, and shall be delivered:
• By U.S. Postal Service first class mail or priority mail (which at the sender's option may
include certified or registered mail return receipt requested); or
• By overnight delivery service of a private industry courier.
• Claims will be considered as having been received by the Agency:
• At the time of actual receipt or 7 Calendar Days after the postmarked date when deposited
for delivery by first class or priority mail, whichever is earlier; or
• At the time of actual receipt or 3 Calendar Days after deposit with a private industry courier
for overnight delivery service, whichever is earlier.
The Agency reserves the right at any time and at any step in the claim decision or review
process to request additional information, records or documentation related to the claim or
the Contract either directly or through agents working toward resolution of the disputed or
claimed events and issues.
Claims shall be made in writing, and shall include all information, records and documentation
necessary for the Agency to properly and completely evaluate the claim.
To be considered, claims for additional compensation, or for additional compensation and
Contract Time, shall be completed according to 00199.30 and shall be submitted with the
required information and in the format below and labeled as required below for each claimed
issue:
(Part 1) Summary (label page 1.1 through page 1.X) -In the summary, include a detailed,
factual statement of the claim for additional compensation and Contract Time, if any, with
necessary dates and locations of Work involved in the claim and the dates of when the event
arose. Also include detailed facts supporting the Contractor's position relative to the Engineer's

00199
If the Engineer determines that additional information, records or documentation is needed to
allow proper evaluation of the claim submittal, the Engineer will request the information, records
or documentation. The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer within 14 Calendar Days, or as
otherwise agreed by the parties, the required additional information, records and documentation.
If the Engineer determines that the claim submittal with the additional information, records and
documentation submitted is incomplete and not accepted as a claim, the Engineer will notify the
Contractor in writing and the submittal will be rejected and will not be considered
under 00199.40.
C. Records Requirements - The Contractor shall comply with 00170.07.
D. Compliance Required- Full compliance by the Contractor with the provisions of this Section
is a condition precedent to the commencement of any lawsuit by the Contractor to enforce
any claim.
00199.40 Claim Decision; Review; Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies - The Agency intends
to resolve all claims at the lowest possible administrative level. The Engineer will also determine
whether multiple claims should be advanced separately or together.
If the Engineer denies the claim for additional compensation or a combination of additional
compensation and Contract Time, in full or in part, according to 00199.40A, the Contractor may
request review of the denial. The disputed claim for additional compensation or a combination of
additional compensation and Contract Time may then be resolved, in full or in part, at any of the
progressive steps of claim review procedure as specified in (b) through (c) of this Subsection.
If the Engineer has denied a claim, in full or in part, for Contract Time only according to 00180.80,
or has denied a claim, in full or in part, for correction of final compensation according to 00195.95,
those disputed claims may then be resolved, in full or in part, at either of the two progressive steps of
claim review procedure as specified in (b) through (c) of this Subsection.
A person authorized by the Contractor to execute Change Orders on behalf of the Contractor must
be present and attend all claim hearings. For all claims, all of the actions and review under each step
of the review process shall occur before the review can be advanced to the next higher step.
If, at any step in the claim decision or review process, the Contractor fails to promptly submit
requested information or documentation that the Agency deems necessary to analyze the claim, the
Contractor is deemed to have waived its right to further review, and the claim will not be considered
properly filed and preserved.
A. Decision by the Engineer- The Engineer will, as soon as practicable, consider, investigate, and
evaluate a Contractor's claim for additional compensation, or for a combination of additional
compensation and Contract Time, if submitted as required by 00199.30.
Once the Engineer determines the Agency is in receipt of a properly submitted claim, the Engineer
will arrange a meeting, within 21 Calendar Days or as otherwise agreed by the parties, with the
Contractor in order to present the claim for formal review and discussion.
142
00199
If the Engineer determines that the Contractor must furnish additional information, records or
documentation to allow proper evaluation of the claim, the Engineer will schedule a second
meeting, to be held within 14 Calendar Days or as otherwise agreed by the parties, at which the
Contractor shall present the requested information, records and documentation.
The Engineer will provide a written decision to the Contractor within 30 Calendar Days of the
last Engineer-level meeting.
If the Contractor does not accept the Engineer's decision, the Contractor may, within 10 Calendar
Days of receipt of the written decision, request in writing that the Engineer arrange a review at
Step 1 (see (b) below).
B. Step 1: Public Works Director Level Review - The Contractor shall request that the
Engineer arrange a meeting with the Public Works Director or the Public Works Director's
designee, as determined by the Public Works Director, in order to present the denied or partially
denied claim for formal review and discussion. The meeting will take place within 21 Calendar
Days of the Agency's receipt of the request, or as otherwise agreed by the parties.
If the Public Works Director (or designee) determines that the Contractor must furnish additional
information, records or documentation to allow proper evaluation of the claim, the Public Works
Director (or designee) will schedule a second meeting, to be held within 14 Calendar Days, or as
otherwise agreed by the parties, at which the Contractor shall present the requested information,
records and documentation.
The Public Works Director (or designee) will provide a written decision to the Contractor within
30 Calendar Days of the last meeting with the Public Works Director (or designee).
The claim is subject to 00199.60, if not all of the records requested by the Public Works Director
(or designee) were furnished. If applicable, advancement of the claim is subject to the provisions
of 00199.60 regarding waiver and dismissal of the claim or portions of the claim.
If the Contractor does not accept the decision, the Contractor may, within 180 Calendar Days
from the date of receipt of the Public Works Director (or designee) written decision or within 90
Calendar Days of the date of Second Notification, whichever is later, initiate Step 2 as set forth in
subsection C below.
C. Step 2: Arbitration and Litigation - The Contractor must follow each step in order, and
exhaust all available administrative remedies before resort to arbitration and litigation. Litigation
of a claim that cannot be resolved in Step 1 shall be initiated by filing a complaint in the Circuit
Court for the State of Oregon in the county where the Agency's main office is located that
contains a stipulation to arbitration under ORS 36.410. The claim and all cross and counter-claims
filed in response to the complaint shall be submitted to the Court Arbitration Program set forth in
ORS 36.400 to 36.425, Chapter 13 of the Oregon Uniform Trial Court Rules and the Circuit
Court supplemental local rules concerning arbitration. Either party may seek, and shall be entitled
143
00199
to, an order directing the other party to submit to arbitration as provided herein and to judgment
for its costs, expenses and attorney fees in obtaining and enforcing the order
In no event shall this Subsection be construed as a waiver by the Agency or by the State of Oregon
on any form of defense or immunity, whether sovereign immunity, governmental immunity,
immunity based on the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution of the United States or
otherwise, from any claim or from the jurisdiction of any court.
D. Payment of Costs, Expenses and Attorney's Fees - The prevailing party shall be entitled to
an award for reasonable costs and expenses incurred after the initiation of Step 2, including costs
and expenses incurred for arbitration, trial de novo and on appeal. Costs and Expenses shall
include, but shall not be limited to, reasonable attorney fees and expenses, arbitrator fees and
expenses, and costs of discovery.
As used in this subsection 00199.40D, "prevailing party" for an arbitration award means (1) a
Contractor who has received an arbitration award, exclusive of interest, costs and expenses, that is
more than the dollar amount claimed by the Contractor in its Final Documentation of Claim
under 00199.20(d) or (2) the Agency if there is no arbitration award to the Contractor or if the
arbitration award to the Contractor, exclusive of interest, costs and expenses, is less than the dollar
amount of the award in the Step 1 decision. For all other arbitration awards, there shall not be a
"prevailing party."
The award of costs and expenses after trial de novo shall be made as provided for in ORS 36.425.
The award of costs and expenses after appeal from a judgment entered after trial de novo shall be
to the prevailing party designated as such by the appeals court.
The Contractor shall comply with 00170.00.
00199.50 Mediation-Notwithstanding the formal claims procedure specified above, the parties
may enter into nonbinding mediation by mutual agreement at any time, in which case the parties
may also agree to suspend the time requirements in Section 00199 pending the outcome of the
mediation process. The rules, time and place for mediation, as well as selection of the mediator, shall
be established by mutual agreement. Costs shall be divided equally between the Contractor and the
Agency. Either party may terminate mediation at any time upon 5 Calendar Days notice to the
other, after which the time requirements of Section 00199 shall be automatically reinstated and shall
resume from the point at which the time requirements were suspended.
00199.60 Review of Determination Regarding Records -If not all of the records requested by the
Agency under 00199.40C Step 2 were provided, then the Agency will determine:
• If the records are of the type described in 00170.07; and
• If the records have not been maintained or the records, or access to the records, has not been
provided to the Agency as required by 00170.07 and this Section; and
• If the records are material and necessary for proper evaluation of part or all of the claim; and
• The portions of the claim for which the records are material and necessary for proper
evaluation.
144
00199
If the Agency makes the foregoing determinations, then subject to the review process described
below, all portions of the claim for which the Agency determined the records are material and
necessary for proper evaluation are immediately waived and irrevocably dismissed.
Even if the records have not been maintained or the records, or access to the records, have not been
provided to the Agency in a given instance, the Agency may determine that sufficient records have
been provided for the Agency to properly evaluate the claim in that instance. If the Agency makes
this determination, the claim or portions of the claim will not be waived or dismissed under this
provision.
If the Contractor does not accept the Agency written determination that the records are material and
necessary for proper evaluation of part or all of the claim, and the portions of the claim for which
the records are material and necessary, the Contractor may, within 14 Calendar Days of receipt of
the Agency determination, request, in writing, a review of such determination by the Public Works
Director (or designee). If the Contractor does not request a review of the Agency determination, the
Agency determination shall then become the Agency's final determination as of the expiration of the
time limit to request review.
If the Contractor requests the review, the Public Works Director (or designee)will schedule a review
meeting within 14 Calendar Days, or as otherwise agreed by the parties, of when the Public Works
Director (or designee)receives the written review request. The Agency and the Contractor will each
have an opportunity to explain their respective positions at the review meeting in a manner
determined by the Public Works Director (or designee).
Within 10 Calendar Days of the review meeting, the Public Works Director (or designee)will issue a
written proposed finding of whether the records not maintained or not provided to the Agency, or
for which access was not provided to the Agency, are material and necessary for proper evaluation of
part or all of the claim. If the Public Works Director (or designee)makes that finding, then the
Public Works Director (or designee)will also make a proposed written finding as to what portions of
the claim the records are material and necessary and, therefore, waived and irrevocably dismissed.
Even if the records have not been maintained or the records, or access to the records, have not been
provided to the Agency in a given instance, the Public Works Director (or designee) may determine
that sufficient records have been provided for the Agency to properly evaluate the claim in that
instance. If the Public Works Director (or designee) makes this determination, then the claim or
portions of the claim will not be waived or dismissed under this provision.
The Public Works Director's (or designee) findings will be submitted to the Contractor. The Public
Works Director's (or designee) findings are the Agency's final determination.
If the Agency's final determination is that the records are material and necessary for proper
evaluation of part or all of the claim, then the claim or that portion of the claim for which the
records are material and necessary is waived and irrevocably dismissed, unless the Contractor
provides the records, or access to the records, to the Agency within 5 Calendar Days of the Agency's
final determination. If the Contractor provides the records, or access to the records, within this time
145
00199
limit, the Agency will schedule a meeting with the Contractor within 14 Calendar Days or as
otherwise agreed by the parties, to discuss the records.
The Agency's final determination that records are material and necessary for proper evaluation of
part or all of the claim, and the Agency's final determination of the portions of the claim for which
the records are material and necessary, shall be final and binding.
If the entire claim is waived and irrevocably dismissed pursuant to the Agency's final determination
there will be no further decision by the Agency on the claim or further review of the claim
under 00199.40 and the claim will not be eligible for mediation under 00199.50. If only portions of
the claim are waived and irrevocably dismissed pursuant to the Agency's final determination, the
Agency will provide a written decision to the Contractor regarding the remaining portions of the
claim within 30 Calendar Days of the final Step 2 meeting, or the Agency's final determination
regarding the records, whichever is later. There will be no further decision by the Agency on or
further review under 00199.40 of the portions of the claim waived and irrevocably dismissed
pursuant to Agency's final determination and those portions will not be eligible for mediation
under 00199.50.

structure.
All cracks designated for sealing shall be completely free of loose and foreign matter (including
existing sealant material). All weeds shall be removed from cracks prior to sealing. Cracks shall
be both clean and dry just prior to sealing.

Special Provisions
The face of the crack shall be surface dry, and the ambient and pavement temperatures shall both
be at least 45 °F and rising at the time of application of the sealant.
In the event either the pavement or ambient temperature drops below 45°F, application will be
suspended.
Do not place any sealant without the prior approval of the Engineer. Obtain the Engineer's
approval of the techniques to be used to finish edge sealing along curbs and gutters. The Engineer
will inspect all cracks.
In areas where a high density of cracking such as alligator cracking is encountered, obtain
approval from the Engineer before applying sealant. Sealant will typically not be applied in these
areas.
Seal the cracks from the bottom up in a neat manner, so that upon completion of the work the
surface of the sealant material is flush with the adjacent pavement surface. Refill or "spot" all low
areas before continuing work.
Level sealant material flush to the surface with a 'V' shaped squeegee or disc nozzle device where
necessary. Squeegee the excess material so it does not exceed 1-1/2 inches on either side of the
crack. If any sealant remains in the squeegee when the end of the crack is reached, distribute this
excess material over the crack in a return motion.
Traffic shall not be reopened to the construction area until the sealant has fully cured. If traffic
results in lifting or transfer of the material, the Contractor shall immediately repair any damage
(such to the road or to vehicles) and again allow for proper curing at the Contractor's expense.
If at any time during the one-year maintenance period the sealant shows settlement of 1/4 inches
or more, the Contractor shall, at the Contractor's expense, apply an additional layer(s) of sealant
to bring the material flush with the surface.
00746.43 Cleaning and Sanding - Add the following bullet to the bulleted list:
• Contractor shall keep all construction debris in the street and shall remove all
construction debris beyond the curb line or edge of pavement line within the same
work shift. For streets that will be swept by the Contractor prior to slurry sealing
under Section 00706.41, street sweeping after crack sealing is not required. For streets
not being slurry sealed after crack sealing, Contractor shall sweep the pavement
surface per the first bullet in this list.
