board measure (MFBM) actually incorporated in the
structure. Measurement will be based on nominal
widths and thicknesses and the extreme length of
each piece.
The term "lump sum" when used as an item of
payment will mean complete payment for the work.
described in the Contract.
When a complete structure or structural unit (in
effect, "lump sum" work) is specified as the unit of
measurement, the unit will include all necessary
fittings and accessories.
Rental of equipment will be measured in hours of
actual working time and necessary traveling time of
the equipment within the limits of the project. If
special equipment has been ordered by the Engineer
in connection with force account work, travel time
and transportation to the project will be measured. If
equipment has been ordered held on the job on a
standby basis by the Engineer, and is not otherwise
utilized by the Contractor, standby rental rates for
the equipment will be paid at the rates specified in
subsection 109.04.
When standard manufactured items are specified
such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe con-
duit, etc., and these items are identified by gage, unit
weight, section dimensions, etc., the identification
will be considered to be nominal weights or dimen-
sions. Unless more stringently controlled by toleran-
ces in cited specifications, manufacturing tolerances
established by the industries involved will be
accepted.
The transportation industry is now in a transition
period, moving toward full adoption of the Metric
System, generally known as the International Sys,
tem of Units (SI). The American Association of State
Highway and Transportation Officials have offi~
cially endorsed such action and have published their
AASHTO Rl-77, Standard Metric Practice Guide in
Part I, Specifications, of Highway Materials. Addi.
tionally, AASHTO M.92 uses the Metric System to
establish Standard Sieve Sizes.

mission. The factors are written as a number greate
than one and less than ten with six or less decima
places. This number is followed by the letter E (fo
exponent), a plus or minus symbol, and two digits
which indicate the power of 10 by which the number
must be multiplied to obtain the correct value. For
example, 3.523 907 E.02 is 3.523 907 x 10_2 or 0.035
23907. Similarly, 3.386389 E + 03 is 3.386 389 x 103 or
3 386.389.

109.02 Scope of Payment. The Contractor
shall receive and accept compensation provided for
in the Contract as full payment for furnishing all
materials and for performing all work under the
Contract in a complete and acceptable manner and
for all risk, loss, damage, or expense of whatever
character arising out of the nature of the work or the
prosecution thereof, subject to the provisions of
subsection 107.21.
Work or materials for which there are pay items
and which are to be paid for separately will be
included in the appropriate pay item in the Summary
of Approximate Quantities on the plans. Work or
materials that are essential to the project but for
which there are no pay items, will not be measured
and paid for separately but shall be included in the
project.
Payment for any pay item listed in the Summary of
Approximate Quantities on the plans, having addit-
ional items shown within parentheses, shall be full
compensation for all work necessary to complete the
item as designated.

109.03 Compensation for Altered Quanti-
ties. When the accepted quantities of work vary
from the quantities in the Contract, the Contractor
shall accept as payment in full, payment at the origi.
nal contract unit prices for the accepted quantities of
work done. Allowance will not be made except as
provided in subsections 104.02 and 108.09, for any
increased expense, loss of expected reimbursement,
or loss of anticipated profits suffered or claimed by
the Contractor resulting either directly from such
alterations or indirectly from unbalanced allocation
of overhead expense among the contract items or
from any other cause.
Should any such alteration directly cause the loss
of any work or materials already furnished by the
Contractor under the terms of the original contract,
reimbursement for such work or of salvaging such
materials will be at actual cost. Any such materials
may, at the option of the Division, be purchased at
the actual cost to the Contractor, as evidenced by
certified invoices.

109.04 Extra and Force Account Work.
Extra work performed in accordance with the require-
ments and provisions of subsection 104.03 will be
paid for at the unit prices or lump sum stipulated in
the order authorizing the work, or the Division may
