Hot Mix Miscellaneous shall be measured in square metres. In areas where Hot Mix
Miscellaneous is designated on the plans and more than one 50 mm lift of Hot Mix is required,
measurement for payment will be made as if two single courses of Hot Mix were required.
' Hot Mix Price Adjustment
' Payment to the contractor for hot mix to be based on changes to the Ministry of Transportation's
performance graded asphalt cement price index as presented herein.
The price index will be published monthly in the MTO Contract Bulletin and displayed on the
OHMPA ( www.ohmpa.orr ) and the MTO website ( www.ra sg mto.gov.on.ca The price index
will be used to calculate the amount of the payment adjustment per tonne of asphalt cement
accepted into the Work.
The price index will be based on the price, excluding taxes, FOB the depots in the Toronto area,
of asphalt cement grade PG 58 -28 or equivalent. One index will be used to establish and
calculate the payment adjustment for all grades. As of July 2006 the price index for each month
will reflect the average of the same month's prices and be published on the last day of the month
and be retroactively applied to HMA laid in the same month.
1 A payment adjustment per tonne of asphalt cement will be established for each month in which
paving occurs when the price index for the month differs by more than $15.00 /tonne from the
SP -6
AC price index for the month prior to tender opening. When the price index differential is less
then $15.00 /tonne, there will be no payment adjustment for that month. Payment adjustments '
due to changes in the price index are independent of any other payment adjustments made to hot
mix tender items.
The payment adjustment per tonne will apply to the quantity of asphalt cement in the machine
laid hot mix accepted into the Work during the month for which it is established. The payment
adjustment for the month will be calculated by the following means:
1. When AC Prices are Rising by more than $15.00 /tonne: the payment adjustment to be
paid to the Contractor is the result of subtracting the price index for the month prior to ,
tender opening from the price index in effect when paving takes place, minus the $15.00
float, multiplied by the number of tones of PGAC incorporated in the mix(s) as
determined by the average of field test results. '
2. When AC Prices are Falling by more than $15.00 /tonne: the payment adjustment made ,
in favour of the Owner is the result of subtracting the price index in effect when paving
takes place, plus the $15.00 float from the price index for the month prior to the tender
opening, multiplied by the number of tones of PGAC incorporated in the mix(s) as ,
determined by the average of field test results.
When Paving Occurs After the Date of Completion: The price index for the month of ,
completion shall be used when determining the payment adjustment should the paving be
performed after the specified completion date. The calculations used in determining the
payment, regardless of rising AC prices or falling AC prices, shall be as indicated above. ,
For mixes which contain reclaimed asphalt pavement, the quantity of new asphalt cement will be ,
determined from the difference between the asphalt cement content required by the job mix
formula and the asphalt cement content of the reclaimed asphalt pavement incorporated into the
hot mix, as calculated by the Contract Administrator. '
The quantity of new asphalt cement includes all grade of asphalt cement supplied by the
Contractor with and without polymer modifiers. For each month in which a payment adjustment '
has been established, the quantity of the escalation/de- escalation will be calculated using the hot
mix quantity accepted into the Work and its corresponding asphalt cement content as determined
by the average of field test results.
For mixes which contain reclaimed asphalt pavement, the increase due the contractor or the
rebate due the owner will be calculated as if virgin hot mix asphalt has been supplied. This fairly
reflects the increasing value of the Contractor's RAP pile when AC prices are increasing and the
opposite when they are declining.

Example 1 — AC Prices Increasing
. PGCA 64 -28 specified, 3,000 tonnes of HL3 @ 5.2% AC (156.0 tonnes AC)
. The effective Price Index on July 17, 2006 on tender opening is $433.80 (June

Payment adjustment to be paid to the Contractor:
($504.00 - $15.00) - $433.80 x 156 tonnes AC = $55.20 x 156 tonnes AC = $8,611.20
I Example 2 — AC Prices Decreasing
. PGAC 58 -28 specified, 4,500 tonnes of HL8 @ 4.6% AC (207.0 tonnes AC)

commenced the Contract, and every subsequent Estimate, except the final one, shall be of the
quantity of Work performed since the preceding Estimate was made. The Contract Administrator
shall provide the copy of each Estimate to the Contractor within 10 Days of the Cut -Off Date.
.02 Such quantities for progress payments shall be construed and held to approximate. The final
quantities for the issuance of the Completion Payment Certificate shall be based on the
measurement of Work completed.

make a written request to the other party to negotiate a revised unit price for that portion of the
Work performed or Material supplied or both which exceeds 115% of the tender quantity. The
negotiation shall be carried out as soon as reasonably possible. Any revision of the unit price
shall be based on the actual cost of doing the Work or supplying the Material or both under the
tender item plus a reasonable allowance for profit and applicable overhead.
b) In the case of a Major Item where the quantity of Work performed or Material supplied or both by
the Contractor is less than 85% of the tender quantity, the Contractor may make a written
request to negotiate for the portion of the actual overheads and fixed costs applicable to the
amount of the underrun in excess of 15% of the tender quantity. For purposes of the
negotiation, the overheads and fixed costs applicable to the item are deemed to have been
prorated uniformly over 100% of the tender quantity for the item. Overhead costs shall be
confirmed by a statement certified by the Contractor's senior financial officer or auditor and may
be audited by the Owner. Alternatively, where both parties agree, an allowance equal to 10% of
the unit price on the amount of the underrun in excess of 15% of the tender quantity shall be
