Diesel Fuel Price Adjustment Special Provision Summary of New Revisions
Categories • Special Provisions prior to 2/10: • Category A - Earthwork • Category B - Subbase and Aggregate Base Courses • Category C - Flexible Bases, Pavements, & Shoulders • Category D - Rigid Bases, Pavements, & Shoulders • Category E - Structures
Categories • New Revisions: • Category A split into: • Small Excavation - 50,000 to 1,000,000 CY • Large Excavation - > 1,000,000 CY • Flexible Base Replacement (316), Stone Matrix Asphalt (419), & Manual Bituminous Patching (450) added to Category C • Concrete Pavement Patching (516) added to Category D
Categories • New Revisions: • ATPB (360) & CTPB (303) moved from Categories C & D (respectively) to Category B • Milling (491 & 492) added as new Category F • *Notes added to Categories B, C, & D to: • Exclude ineligible work items • Explain how adjustment will be computed when work is measured & paid for under varying units of measure (e.g. on a “Material Used Basis” or on an “Area Basis”).
Categories • Excluded Work Items: • Presplit Blasting items associated with Section 203 (Category A) • Cleaning Existing Ditches item associated with Section 204 (Category A) • Shoulder Backfill items associated with Sections 654 & 656 (Category C) • Patching Joint, New Pavement Joint, & Subbase Material for Concrete Pavement Patching items associated with Section 516 (Category D)
Categories • Items Paid on Material Used Basis: • “Coarse Aggregate” and “Bituminous Material” items associated with Cold-Recycled Base Course (Sections 341 & 342) • “Coarse Aggregate for . . .” and “Bituminous Material for . . .” items associated with FB-1 Wearing & Binder, Seal Coats, & Surface Treatments (Sections 439, 440, 470, 471, 480, & 481) • Adjustment will be computed based on the “Coarse Aggregate” / “Coarse Aggregate for . . .” item quantity only.
Categories • Items Paid on an Area Basis Where Depth is Not Indicated in Item Description: • Seal Coats and Surface Treatments (Sections 470, 471, 480, & 481) • A depth equal to the maximum allowable size of the type of aggregate used, as specified in Section 703.2, Table C, will be assumed.
Fuel Usage Factors • Category A • Small Excavation: 0.34 gal/CY • Large Excavation: 0.25 gal/CY • Category B • Increased from 0.62 to 0.71 gal/Ton • Category C • Reduced from 2.98 to 2.00 gal/Ton
Fuel Usage Factors • Category D • Increased from 0.98 to 1.77 gal/CY • Category E • Reduced from 8.00 to 4.00 gal/$1000 of work performed • Category F • Established at 1.15 gal/CY
Conversion Factors • Category B (CY -> Tons) • New CF established at 3,240 lbs./CY • Category C (SY -> Tons) • Reduced from 120 to 110 lbs / inch of depth / SY • Category F (SY -> CY) • Established 2 inches as average depth for variable depth milling (Sect. 491). • Established 1 inch as average depth for profile milling (Sect. 492).
Category E Structures • Consider all work identified on S-drawing / BPAA-drawing • Lump sum item (8xxx-xxxx) with one or more associated items; or • Rehab work tabbed as one or more separate contract items • Exclude: • Fabricated Structural Steel • Prestressed Concrete Bridge Beams • Bearings & Bearing Pads • Design-related work
Category E Structures • Include: • Items on S-drawing or BPAA-drawing tabbed as “Roadway Items”; and • Removal, Painting & Containment, and Causeways (whether or not tabbed on S-drawing or BPAA-drawing). • Value of all applicable Structure work for the project must exceed $1,000,000.
Category E - Example 1 • A project includes the following contract items:
Category E - Example 1 • Item 8600-0007 has the following Component Item Schedule:
Category E - Example 1 • The value of all Structure work for the project is computed as follows: • Retaining Wall (LS) $2,769,000.00 • Fabricated Structural Steel ($ 872,467.20) • Painting Existing Structural Steel $ 100,000.00 • Containment $ 35,000.00 • Total Value $2,031,532.80 • The Total Value of all Structure work exceeds $1,000,000 • Payments made under the above items, excluding the Fab Steel component item, are subject to price adjustment under Category E.
Payment / Rebate • Price Adjustments to be computed on a quarterly basis. • Initial adjustment quarter to begin as of the month/year when the first item of applicable work is performed. • New adjustment quarters to begin every 3 months thereafter. • Quarterly price adjustments amounting to less than $1,000 will be disregarded.
Payment / Rebate • Example: • Consider a project that includes items for Class 1 Excavation, Milling, and Superpave HMA Wearing Course. • If Class 1 Excavation operation is the first of these items to be initiated and work begins in August 2012: • Initial Adjustment Quarter: August thru October 2012 • New Adjustment Quarters would begin in November 2012, February 2013, May 2013, etc.
Implementation • Revised specification has been approved by FHWA and is to be included in all projects let after February 25, 2010. • A revised Excel spreadsheet has been provided by BoCM.
