r replaced. If the Contractor fails to respond to a damage notification and begin work within 1 hour of notification, or does not continue to work until the temporary crash cushion is repaired or replaced, the Department, will require closure of the adjacent live lane. Lane occupancy charges will be imposed as specified in 108.08 for the period of time the adjacent lane is closed. Should the Department have to respond to a repair with its own forces because of a Contractor’s lack of response to a damage notification, the Contractor agrees to pay the Department a sum of $3,000 for costs of mobilizing its forces and equipment. In addition, the Contractor must pay the Department the actual cost of material used for the repair and pay the actual costs of police traffic protection. Maintain an adequate number of replacement parts to repair damaged units at all times. Keep the areas in front, atop, and around the crash cushions clear of snow accumulation of more than 4 inches in depth. Upon removal of the crash cushion, cut anchor bolts at least 3 inches below the surface of the surrounding roadway. Repair HMA pavement as specified in 401.03.03. Repair concrete pavement as specified in Section 452. PART 6 IS CHANGED TO: 6. Traffic Control Truck with Mounted Crash Cushions. Provide the RE with a copy of the crash cushion manufacturer’s recommendations. Provide the RE a certified weigh ticket of the Traffic Control Truck with arrow board and mounted Crash Cushion. Position the traffic control truck to ensure that there is adequate stopping distance after impact and to prevent errant vehicles from traveling around the truck and endangering workers. When used in a fixed position, place manual transmission vehicles in second gear and place automatic transmission vehicles in park. Ensure that the parking brake is set and the wheels are set straight. Do not use traffic control trucks in place of other temporary impact attenuators for more than 24 hours. Relocate the traffic control truck as specified by the TCP, or as directed by the RE. Do not use the truck to carry additional equipment, materials, or debris. When using ballast, ensure that it is secured to the
ontrol truck as specified by the TCP, or as directed by the RE. Do not use the truck to carry additional equipment, materials, or debris. When using ballast, ensure that it is secured to the truck. Submit drawings to the RE detailing the manner of securing the ballast, signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer, certifying that it is capable of withstanding the impact forces for which the impact attenuator is rated.

Portable Trailer Mounted CCTV Camera Assembly (PTMCCA). 159.03.06 Traffic Stripes, Latex ,Traffic Markings Lines, Latex and Traffic Markings Symbols, Latex THE SUBPART IS CHANGED TO: Apply latex traffic stripes and latex markings when they are required for 14 days or less. Apply epoxy traffic stripes and thermoplastic markings as specified in 610.03.01 and 610.03.02 when they are required for more than 14 days. For Contractor convenience, on pavement preservation projects, the Department will allow the Contractor to refresh latex traffic stripes and latex markings for stripes and markings required to be in place for more than 14 days and for each 14 day period thereafter. Do not refresh these stripes with epoxy or thermoplastic material. Apply latex traffic stripes and latex markings when the ambient and surface temperatures are at least 45 °F and rising and the surface temperature is no more than 140 °F. Apply the latex paint in a wet film thickness of 6 ± 1 mil. Apply glass beads to the wet paint in a uniform pattern and at the rate of 12 pounds per gallon of paint. 159.03.08 Traffic Direction Part A is changed to: A. Flagger. Provide a flagger that has received formal training in flagging operations and the proper use of the STOP/SLOW paddle. The flagger must be able to demonstrate the abilities indicated in the current MUTCD and, when requested, demonstrate competency to the RE. Immediately replace flaggers who fail to demonstrate competency with a competent flagger. Ensure that flaggers wear a 360 degree high-visibility retroreflective orange safety garment meeting ANSI/ISEA Class 3, Level 2 standards. Ensure that the flagger is equipped with a STOP/SLOW paddle and follows MUTCD flagging procedures. B. Police. THIS SECTION IS DELETED AND REPLACED WITH THE FOLLOWING: When local ordinance requires or as included in the plans, the pay item POLICE TRAFFIC DIRECTORS shall be utilized indicating the use of local uniformed police officers. An allowance has been provided for in the contract proposal for the estimated hours that Police Traffic Directors will be required during this project. The use of Police Traffic Directors will be discussed at the pre-construction meeting with the RE, Contractor, and local Traffic Safety Officer present.

l be discussed at the pre-construction meeting with the RE, Contractor, and local Traffic Safety Officer present. The Contractor will take the lead in scheduling police traffic directors with the approval of the RE. The Contractor will submit invoices to the RE for approval and then payment against the POLICE TRAFFIC DIRECTORS allowance. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to notify the RE and police at least 24 hours in advance (or as required by the local Police Department) of cancelations or changes to work affecting the use of POLICE TRAFFIC DIRECTORS. Improper notice will result in any expenses related to POLICE TRAFFIC DIRECTORS to be subtracted from the Contractors invoices. 159.04 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT THIS SUBSECTION IS CHANGED TO: The Township will measure and make payment for Items as follows: Item Pay Unit BREAKAWAY BARRICADE UNIT DRUM UNIT TRAFFIC CONE UNIT CONSTRUCTION SIGNS SQUARE FOOT POLICE TRAFFIC DIRECTORS LUMP SUM There will be no separate measurement or payment for relocating traffic control devices as required or as directed. THE FOLLOWING IS ADDED: HELEN AVE., LAWRENCE AVE., FLORENCE PL., AND LOWELL AVE., IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT Page 29 of 76
The Contractor will be reimbursed for the direct cost billed by the Police Department with no additional payments for overhead or profit. The Contractor shall provide invoices from the Police Department to the RE for reimbursement. An estimated amount to cover these reimbursements has been included in the proposal. It is the intent of the project that any improvements that disturb pedestrian traffic areas will be reconstructed immediately upon disturbance/demolition to minimize any disturbance to pedestrian sidewalks, access and crosswalks. Should any prolonged disturbance or delays be encountered during construction the contractor shall install Temporary Sidewalk as required or as directed by the engineer in areas of high pedestrian traffic. No separate or individual payment shall be made for Temporary Sidewalk. SECTION 160 – PRICE ADJUSTMENTS THE ENTIRE SECTION 160 IS CHANGED TO: 160.01 DESCRIPTION This Section describes the requirements for price adjustments for fuel and asphalt usage. 160.02 MATERIALS (Intentionally Blank) 160.03 PROCEDURE 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 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 THIRD PARAGRAPH IS CHANGED TO: 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 −
ction 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: HELEN AVE., LAWRENCE AVE., FLORENCE PL., AND LOWELL AVE., IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT Page 30 of 76
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 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. 160.03.01 Fuel Price Adjustment THE ENTIRE SUBPART IS CHANGED TO: The Department will make price adjustments for fuel usage for Items listed in Table 160.03.01-1 and the Special Provisions. 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 within period one and continuing past midnight of the fourteenth day into the fifteenth day of the month will be included in period one for any price adjustments. Work continuing past midnight of the last day of the month into the first day of the next month will be included in period
th day of the month will be included in period one for any price adjustments. Work continuing past midnight of the last day of the month into the first day of the next month will be included in period two. The Department will calculate fuel price adjustments based on the pay quantities of listed Items using the fuel usage factors listed in Table 160.03.01-1 and the Special Provisions. 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. If the as-built quantity of an Item eligible for fuel price adjustment differs from the sum of the quantities in the Estimates and the as-built quantity cannot be readily distributed among the time periods that the Item was constructed, then the Department will determine fuel price adjustment by distributing the difference in the same proportion as the Item’s Estimate quantity is to the total of the Item’s time period estimates.
