Does the AZ DOT currently require retainage in traditional construction and or Design Build contracts?
|
| |
No - The prime can hold retainage against the sub but ADOT doesn't hold retention any more. |
|
On the Weekly Force Account Detail how do I enter Outside Rented Equipment if the piece of rented or leased equipment was exclusive to the force account? |
| |
On the Outside Rented Equipment worksheet you will enter 1 in the Quantity and the invoice amount in the Invoice Rate. On the next line enter the number of the hours the equipment was used in the Quantity field and the Hourly Operating Cost in the HOC field.
This will result in the contractor being reimbursed the entire invoice amount (minus any non-reimbursable costs) as well as the Hourly Operating Costs for all hours the piece of equipment was in operation.

Do I have to post the federal workplace posters in languages other than English? |

With a few exceptions (FMLA and MSPA), the U.S. Department of Labor's regulations do not require posting of notices in Spanish or other languages.
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Poster - Where an employer's workforce is comprised of a significant portion of workers who are not literate in English, the employer shall be responsible for providing the notice in a language in which the employees are literate.

When can a subcontractor start working? |

A subcontractor can start working after the SRF has been submitted to and is approved by Field Reports OR after the complete subcontract is submitted and approved. (Note: A completed contract is required for all subcontractors by the end of the project.)

Dear Contractor;
Due to repeated instances of primes allowing subcontractors to start work on ADOT projects prior to being approved, the following policy is in effect immediately. Prior to closing payrolls the Field Office will notify the prime contractor of any subcontractors who started project work prior to being approved by ADOT. The contractor will be responsible for writing a letter to the Resident Engineer explaining why the subcontractor started work on the project prior to being approved. The letter should also include what remediation measures have been implemented by the contractor to ensure the situation is not repeated. The letter will be concurred to by the RE and then forwarded to Field Reports.
If you have any questions please call Lenyne Hickson at 602.712.7321 or Julio Alvarado at 602.712.7323.

Do I have to submit a certification before I can be paid for materials used on the project? |
| |
Yes - ADOT can not pay you for materials without the proper certification (Certificate of Compliance &/Or Analysis). See Standard Spec. 106.5
|
|
Are Certified Payrolls required for Force Accounts on Non-FA projects? |
| |
YES - All Force Accounts require Certified Payrolls.
|
|
Has the Fuel Cost Adjustment specification changed? |
| |
Yes. The new specification adjusts the dollar amount of work reported each month by 1.5% instead of 1%. The dollar amount will not include any incentives earned, including those for pavement smoothness, thickness, or strength. No adjustments will be made for work performed after Substantial Completion. For further clarification, contact your project Field Office.
