Pavement Rehabilitation Contract Documents
Pavement Rehabilitation Contract Documents translate engineering recommendations into plans and specifications that describe the type, extent and quality of needed repairs.
The contract documents have three purposes:
- To describe the work for bidding and judging performance accurately.
- To address time and payment issues.
- To define the legal responsibility of each party to the contract.
Detailed plans and specifications are essential for quality construction work bids. Our contracts and site plans clearly and accurately define the location, the extent and quality of performance and details of the construction of work. Normally, an existing site plan is used as a basis for plan development; however, if plans are not available, we can generate a site plan by performing topographic survey work.
Pavement Engineering has developed numerous details to address pavement and drainage items for parking lots and minor roadways. By creating these details in AutoCad, we can easily modify them to produce site-specific designs.
PEI has spent years creating and enhancing technical specifications suited for parking lot and minor roadway construction. These specifications incorporate workmanship, materials and procedural requirements reflecting the best industry practices rather than "common practice.” PEI recommends our clients use either the “AIA or EJCDC general conditions of the contract,” or general conditions developed by their own legal staff. The “special provisions section” addresses important non-technical information such as scheduling, time of completion, payment and insurance requirements. The entire package provides a comprehensive construction contract suitable for maintaining projects of all sizes.
The combination of site plans, details and specifications describe the work with such clarity that contractors are truly bidding on exactly the same work. Our contract documents virtually eliminate questions regarding scope of work and minimize disputes during construction. When difficulties arise, the contract presents a detailed basis for judging performance.
