The payment adjustment per tonne will apply to the quantity of new asphalt cement in the
hot mix accepted into the work during the month for which it is established. However, a
payment adjustment will not apply to the paving work done after the approved time for
completion of the contract has expired, including the expiration of any extensions of time
that have been granted.
The payment adjustment for the month will be calculated from the following formulae:
1. When Ip is greater than 1.10𝐼𝑇𝑂 , the payment adjustment per tonne of asphalt cement
is (Ip - 1.10𝐼𝑇𝑂 ) and the Contractor receives additional compensation of: PA = (Ip -
10𝐼𝑇𝑂 ) x quantity of new asphalt cement in tonnes.
2. when Ip is less than 0.90 𝐼𝑇𝑂 , the payment adjustment per tonne of asphalt cement
is (0.90 𝐼𝑇𝑂 - Ip ) and the Owner receives a rebate of: PA = (0.90𝐼𝑇𝑂 - Ip ) x quantity of
new asphalt cement in tonnes
Where:
PA = payment adjustment for new asphalt cement, in dollars
𝐼𝑇𝑂 = performance graded asphalt price index for the month prior to tender opening
Ip = performance graded asphalt price index for the month in which paving occurs.
The quantity of new asphalt cement includes all grades of asphalt cement supplied by the
Contractor with and without polymer modifiers. For each month in which a payment
adjustment has been established, the quantity will be calculated using the hot mix quantity
accepted into the work and its corresponding asphalt cement content as required by the
job mix formula except for mixes which contain reclaimed asphalt pavement.
For mixes which contain reclaimed asphalt pavement, the quantity of new asphalt cement
will be determined from the difference between the asphalt cement required by the job mix
formula and the asphalt cement content of the reclaimed asphalt pavement incorporated
into the hot mix, as calculated by the Contract Administrator.
For mixes containing a liquid anti-stripping additive, the quantity of anti-stripping additive
will be deducted from the quantity of new asphalt cement. No other deductions will be made
for any other additives.
For progress payment purposes, payment adjustments will be made on a monthly progress
payment certificate for the months in which hot mix paving occurs.
Payment for the items will be at the tendered unit price bid. No adjustments will be made
in the unit price bid.

The payment adjustment per tonne will apply to the quantity of new asphalt cement in the
hot mix accepted into the work during the month for which it is established. However, a
payment adjustment will not apply to the paving work done after the approved time for
completion of the contract has expired, including the expiration of any extensions of time
that have been granted.
The payment adjustment for the month will be calculated from the following formulae:
1. When Ip is greater than 1.10𝐼𝑇𝑂 , the payment adjustment per tonne of asphalt cement
is (Ip - 1.10𝐼𝑇𝑂 ) and the Contractor receives additional compensation of: PA = (Ip -
10𝐼𝑇𝑂 ) x quantity of new asphalt cement in tonnes.
2. when Ip is less than 0.90 𝐼𝑇𝑂 , the payment adjustment per tonne of asphalt cement
is (0.90 𝐼𝑇𝑂 - Ip ) and the Owner receives a rebate of: PA = (0.90𝐼𝑇𝑂 - Ip ) x quantity of
new asphalt cement in tonnes
Where:
PA = payment adjustment for new asphalt cement, in dollars
𝐼𝑇𝑂 = performance graded asphalt price index for the month prior to tender opening
Ip = performance graded asphalt price index for the month in which paving occurs.
The quantity of new asphalt cement includes all grades of asphalt cement supplied by the
Contractor with and without polymer modifiers. For each month in which a payment
adjustment has been established, the quantity will be calculated using the hot mix quantity
accepted into the work and its corresponding asphalt cement content as required by the
job mix formula except for mixes which contain reclaimed asphalt pavement.
For mixes which contain reclaimed asphalt pavement, the quantity of new asphalt cement
will be determined from the difference between the asphalt cement required by the job mix
formula and the asphalt cement content of the reclaimed asphalt pavement incorporated
into the hot mix, as calculated by the Contract Administrator.
For mixes containing a liquid anti-stripping additive, the quantity of anti-stripping additive
will be deducted from the quantity of new asphalt cement. No other deductions will be made
for any other additives.
For progress payment purposes, payment adjustments will be made on a monthly progress
payment certificate for the months in which hot mix paving occurs.
Page 65 of 71
Payment for the items will be at the tendered unit price bid. No adjustments will be made
in the unit price bid.
