Special Considerations:
Time plus Money (A+B) Bidding:  This is a special type of bidding process where the Contractor bids the cost of the job (A, or the "Standard Bid") plus the number of days in which the project will be completed (B, or the "Time Bid").   The Time Bid is then multiplied by a daily dollar value and the Standard Bid and the Time Bid are added together to get the Total Bid.  The project will then be awarded to the bidder with the lowest Total Bid.  The actual contract duration is therefore set by the Contractor during bidding.  The purpose of this type of bidding is to encourage the Contractor to complete the project in the shortest possible time.

No Excuse Bonus:
The No Excuse Bonus concept is to provide the contractor with substantial incentive to complete a project within a specified time frame regardless of any problems or unforeseen conditions that may arise.

Bonus #1: $2,000,000 Complete all contract work and obtain acceptance in 1000 days.
Bonus #2: $10,000 to complete 10th Avenue SB On-Ramp (Ramp 2-A1) in 24 consecutive days from initial closure.
Bonus #3: $60,000 to complete 6th Avenue SB On-Ramp (Ramp 1-A1) in 148 consecutive days from initial closure.
Bonus #4: $60,000 to complete 6th Avenue SB Off-Ramp (Ramp 1-D1) in 190 consecutive days from initial closure.
Bonus #5: $60,000 to complete 6th Avenue NB Off-Ramp (Ramp 1-B1) in 119 consecutive days from initial closure.
Bonus #6: $60,000 to complete 6th Avenue NB On-Ramp (Ramp 1-C1) in 167 consecutive days from initial closure.

Incentive/Disincentive:
The Incentive/Disincentive concept is used to expedite the completion of certain aspects of the project.  The number of I/D days will not be changed for any reason, including, but not limited to, work added, work deleted, bad weather, unforeseen conditions, etc.

Project: I/D daily amount of $10,000. Maximum I/D: $300,000; 1000 Calendar Days from commencement of Contract Time.

Article 8-3.3: Prosecution of Work- Mandatory Start: Contract Time will start on July 6, 2004.  The Contractor will use the time from Notice to Proceed to July 6, 2004 to procure and fabricate materials, for the submittal and review of shop drawings, for the submittal and review of the schedule, to participate in a Constructability/Value Engineering Workshop, and to adjust work forces, equipment and schedules to proceed in a manner to minimize disruption to the public.

Article 8-3.7: Disputes Review Board: The Board will provide special expertise to assist in and facilitate the timely and equitable resolution of disputes, claims, and controversies between the Department and the Contractor in an effort to avoid construction delay and future claims.

Article 8-4.1.1: Sequence of Operations:

Lake Worth High School Parking Improvements:  The Lake Worth High School Parking Improvements will begin July 6th, 2004 and shall be completed in their entirety prior to September 15th, 2004.  No other work under the contract shall begin until the Lake Worth High School Parking Improvements are completed and accepted by the Engineer.  The Contractor shall not use the area of the Lake Worth High School Parking Improvements for staging, parking or any other purpose after completion and partial acceptance of that work.
