le 160.03.01-1 or the Special Provisions has a payment unit which differs from that listed in Table 160.03.01-1 or the Special Provisions, the Department will apply an appropriate conversion factor to determine the number of gallons of fuel used. The Department will calculate fuel price adjustment using the following formula: F = (MF − BF) G Where: F= Fuel Price Adjustment MF = Fuel Price Index for work performed in the time period immediately before the estimate cutoff date. BF = Basic Fuel Price Index G= Gallons of Fuel for Price Adjustment The Department will post the Fuel Price Index every month on the Department’s website: https://www.state.nj.us/transportation/business/aashtoware/PriceIndex.shtm. The Basic Fuel Price Index is the Index which is listed for the month prior to the receipt of bids. For new work added that is eligible for Fuel Price Adjustment, the Basic Fuel Price Index is the index which is listed for the month the new work was added to the Contract. If the month prior to the receipt of bids or the month the new work was added has two Indices, the Index in effect for the first day of that month will govern for the Basic Fuel Price Index. If the Fuel Price Index increases by 50 percent or more over the Basic Fuel Price Index, do not perform any work involving Items listed in Table 160.03.01-1 or the Special Provisions without written approval from the RE. 160.03.02 Asphalt Price Adjustment The Department will make price adjustments for asphalt binder usage. The Department will calculate asphalt price adjustments based on the quantities of Items containing asphalt binder constructed. Each month may be divided into two periods. Period one includes the first day of the month through the fourteenth day of the month. Period two includes the fifteenth day of the month through the last day of the month. Work starting on the HELEN AVE., LAWRENCE AVE., FLORENCE PL., AND LOWELL AVE., IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT Page 34 of 76
fourteenth day of the month and continuing past midnight into the fifteenth day of the month will be included in period one for any price adjustments. Work continuing through midnight of the last day of the month into the first day of the next month will be included in period two. The Asphalt Price Adjustment will be separated between ashpalt binder grades PG 64S-22 and PG 64E-22. The price used for both the Basic and Monthly Price Indexes will be determined based on the performance grade of asphalt binder in the approved mix design for the asphalt mixture. Price adjustments may result in an increased payment to the Contractor for increases in the price index and may result in a reduction in payment for decreases in the price index. The Department will calculate the asphalt price adjustment by the following formula: A = (MA − BA) T Where: A= Asphalt Price Adjustment MA = Asphalt Price Index for work performed in the time period immediately before the estimate cutoff date. BA = Basic Asphalt Price Index T= Tons of New Asphalt Binder1 1. The Department will determine the weight of asphalt binder for price adjustment by multiplying the percentage of new asphalt binder in the approved job mix formula by the weight of the item containing asphalt binder. If a Hot Mix Asphalt Item has a payment unit other than ton, the Department will apply an appropriate conversion factor to determine the number of tons of asphalt binder used. For Tack Coat, Prime Coat, MICRO SURFACING EMULSION, SLURRY SEAL EMULSION, and FOG SEAL SURFACE TREATMENT, the Department will calculate the weight of asphalt as follows: T= G C 0.00428 C= Petroleum content of the product Use 100% for Tack Coat 64-22 and Tack Coat 64E-22 Use 60% for Polymer Modified Tack Coat, and all other emulsified asphalts G= Gallons furnished The constant 0.00428 is derived from the conversion factor of tons per gallon using 8.345 lbs/gallon for water and a factor of 1.025 for the specific gravity of asphalt binder. The Department will not calculate an asphalt price adjustment for FOG SEAL STRIP. The monthly asphalt price index, as determined by the Department, will be the average of quotations from
lt binder. The Department will not calculate an asphalt price adjustment for FOG SEAL STRIP. The monthly asphalt price index, as determined by the Department, will be the average of quotations from suppliers serving the area in which the Project is located, and will be determined by the Department. The Department will post the asphalt price index every month on the Department’s website: https://www.state.nj.us/transportation/business/aashtoware/PriceIndex.shtm. The Basic Asphalt Price Index will be the Index which is listed for the month prior to the receipt of bids. If the month prior to the receipt of bids has two Indexes, the Index in effect for the first day of the month will govern for the Basic Asphalt Price Index. The Monthly Asphalt Price Index will be that for the month that the work is constructed in. If work is constructed over the course of two or more months for a particular pay estimate, then multiple Monthly Indexes will be used corresponding to the date that the work was performed. If the Asphalt Price Index increases 50 percent or more over the basic asphalt price index, do not perform work on Items containing asphalt binder without written approval from the RE.

160.04 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT THE SUBSECTION IS CHANGED TO: The Department will measure and make payment for Items as follows: Item Pay Unit FUEL PRICE ADJUSTMENT DOLLAR ASPHALT PRICE ADJUSTMENT DOLLAR THE FOLLOWING SECTION IS ADDED: SECTION 162 - CONTRACT ALLOWANCE 162.01 DESCRIPTION This Section describes the requirements for contract allowance. 162.02 PROCEDURE The Schedule of Prices includes a Pay Item for Contract Allowance for changes in the scope of Work. There is no guarantee that any of these funds will need to be used during the course of the Work. 162.02.01 Changes in the Scope of Work and Allowance for Unforeseen Conditions. The Township will address changes in the scope of work as follows: A change in the scope of work is a change that causes the work to substantially differ in kind or nature from the original proposed construction. The Municipality may make payment for a change in the scope of work whether the change directly causes a change in the character of the work or causes other work to become significantly different in character. Efficiencies or inefficiencies resulting from minor increases or decreases in quantities of work are not a change in the scope of work. If a change in the scope of the work results in a decreased cost to perform the work, the Township will revise the price to reflect this reduced cost. For changes in the scope of work, the Township will base the modification on the difference between what the actual cost to perform the work of the Item or portion thereof involved would have been if there were no change, and the actual cost of performing the work or portion of work as changed. The modification shall only apply to the portion of the work for an Item actually affected by the change. No work is to be performed under CONTRACT ALLOWANCE without written authorization from the Engineer. THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN ADDED: 162.04 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT The Township will measure and make payment for Items as follows: Item Pay Unit CONTRACT ALLOWANCE
Township will measure and make payment for Items as follows: Item Pay Unit CONTRACT ALLOWANCE LUMP SUM The Contract quantity of CONTRACT ALLOWANCE is a lump sum allowance, and the engineer has inserted a bid price in the Schedule of Prices. Payment shall not be requested if no work is done under CONTRACT ALLOWANCE. To qualify for payment, work must be authorized by the Engineer in writing.
