Streamline Contracts Florida Department of Transportation Starting July, 2010 letting
Streamline Contracts • Goal of Streamline Contracts • Specifications • Final Estimates • Scenarios
Streamline Contracts • Goal of Streamline Contracts • Simplify Administration on minor projects • (All jobs under $2,000,000 with less than 2,000 tons asphalt) • In D5 have been using for about 2 years Construction and Maintenance contracts • No change to design effort • No reduction in Inspection
Streamline Contracts • Specifications • Projects will be let as either LS or PQ SCOPE OF WORK - INTENT AND SCOPE SP0040100SLLS SP0040100SLPQ
Streamline Contracts • Specifications MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT SP0090103SLLS SP0090103SLPQ
Streamline Contracts • Specifications • Pay adjustments VERY LIMITED • Lump Sum • Will continue to adjust for overbuild and foundations at prices provided in contract • Failed Material: Remove/replace or leave in at no pay (FDOT discretion) • No Fuel and Bit, no CPF, no Spread Rate/ Thickness Adjustments
Streamline Contracts • Specifications • Pay adjustments VERY LIMITED • Plan Quantity – • Each item on this contract will be Plan Quantity, adjusted only if they are errors greater than threshold or a directed change • Failed Material: Remove/replace or leave in at no pay (FDOT discretion) • No Fuel and Bit, no CPF, no Spread Rate/ Thickness Adjustments
Streamline Contracts • Specifications • Contractor QC remains unchanged • Changed Verification Testing Frequency • 120 – EXCAVATION AND EMBANKMENT • 125 – EXCAVATION FOR STRUCTURES • 160 – STABILIZATION • 200 – ROCK BASE • 346 – PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE Verification testing reduced to ½ of the standard verification testing frequency
Streamline Contracts • Final Estimates Process • Contractor will provide monthly invoices like they currently do on lump sum projects. • Focus will be on documenting changes only.
Streamline Contracts • Final Estimates Process • What about…… • Asphalt Tickets? keep in file with the PA, unless needed to support any quantity changes/disputes • Material delivery tickets? Keep in file with the PA, unless needed to support any quantity changes/disputes. • Lot submittal packages? will not be needed • Asphalt cover sheets? will not be needed • Asphalt QC and roadway reports? Keep in file with PA, unless needed to support any quantity changes/disputes • Core out reports? Keep in file with the PA.
Streamline Contracts • Final Estimates Process • Plan Quantity changes: • Either party will need to provide justification • Plan Quantity will not be revised based solely on a particular method of construction that the Contractor selects. • Directed Field Changes will be handled per specification
Streamline Contracts • Scenarios • PLAN QUANTITY STREAMLINE SPECS • Used on projects that are not suited to Lump Sum (bridge rehab projects, jobs with high variable items). • Directed field change: paid as overrun or underrun or can use work orders, regardless of size or amount of change. • Example: If the plans do not show fixing a side street and FDOT directs that extra work to be done, it would be a directed field change, and the entire amount of added work would be paid. If unit prices do not exist, a work order can be used.
Streamline Contracts • Scenarios • PLAN QUANTITY STREAMLINE SPECS • Plan Errors: Adjustments made if differences is greater than 5% or $5000 per item. • Example: Plans show milling an area, and the plans give a quantity of 9,875 square yards. Unit price is $2.50 per SY. • Due to an error, the actual amount of the milling area as shown in the plans is 10,025 SY, a difference of 150 SY. • 150/9875 = 1.5% difference 150 x $250 = $375.00 • NO ADJUSTMENT TO PLAN QUANTITY WOULD BE MADE BECAUSE OF THIS ERROR.
Streamline Contracts • Scenarios • LUMP SUM STREAMLINE SPECS • Lump sum should only be used on projects that meet the Lump sum guidelines, well defined work. • Will have Work Orders to handle adjustments as we do now. • Example: If the plans do not show fixing a side street and FDOT directs that extra work to be done, the entire amount of added work would be paid. A work order or Supplemental Agreement would be used to pay for the added costs.
