currently on the Project for original Contract Work to perform force account
Work, then determine the hourly outside-rented equipment rate as follows:
Where:
HRER = (HRI ×115%) + HOC
HRER = hourly rented equipment rate
HRI = hourly rental invoice costs prorated for the actual number of
hours that rented equipment is operated solely on force account
work. Use a monthly invoice rate divided by 176, a weekly
invoice rate divided by 40, or a daily invoice rate divided by 8.
HOC = hourly operating cost shown in the Blue Book
The Department will not compensate for rental rates that exceed
the Blue Book rates unless approved in advance of the Work by the Engineer.
e. Moving of Equipment. The Department will also pay for the
time required to move needed equipment to the location of the force account work
and to return it to its original location. The Department will pay for loading and
transportation costs instead of moving time if equipment is moved by means other
than its own power. Moving time back to the original location or loading and
transportation costs will not be allowed if the equipment is used at the site of the
force account work on contract items or related work.
The Department will consider the actual cost of transferring the
equipment to the Project and returning it to the original location as an additional
expense and pay for it as specified, for equipment moved on the Project
exclusively for force account work.
The Engineer will confirm the original location of the equipment
before the Contractor moves and uses it for force account work.
If the equipment is transported by a common carrier, the
allowance is the invoiced amount paid for the freight plus 15 percent. However, if
the Contractor’s forces transport the equipment, the allowable compensation will
be Blue Book rate of the hauling unit and hourly Blue Book operating cost plus the
driver’s wages and the cost of loading and unloading the equipment calculated
according to 109.05.C.2.
5. Foreman’s Transportation. The Department will pay the Blue Book
rate for every hour the foreman’s truck is on the force account site or moving to or
from the site. This rate includes equipment cost, fuel and lubricants, overhead,
profit, and mobile phone or two-way radios.
6. Subcontract Work. For Work performed by an approved
subcontractor, the Department will pay an amount to cover administrative costs
pursuant to Table 109.05-2. No additional mark-up is allowed for work of a subsubcontractor
or trucking services employed by a subcontractor.
