**Section 109. - MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT**

**109.01 Measurement Methods.** [Delete the first sentence and
substitute the following:]{.underline}

Take or convert all measurement of work according to the International
System of Units (SI), IEEE/ASTM SI 10.

[Add the following after the third paragraph:]{.underline}

Submit measurement notes to the CO within 24 hours of performing the
work. For on-going work, submit measurement notes weekly. When work is
not complete, identify the measurement as being an interim measurement.
Submit the final measurement when the installation is completed.
Measurement notes form the basis of the Government\'s receiving report
(see Subsection 109.08(d)). For lump sum items, submit documentation to
support invoiced progress payment on a monthly basis.

Use an acceptable format for measurement records. As a minimum, include
the following information in all records of measurement:

(1) Project name and number

(2) Contract item number

(3) Date the work was performed

(4) Location of the work

(5) Measured quantity

(6) Calculations made to arrive at the quantity

(7) Supporting sketch and/or details as needed to clearly define the
    work performed and the quantity measured.

(8) Names of persons measuring the work

(9) Identification as to whether the measurement is interim or final

(10) Signed certification statement by the persons taking the
     measurements, performing the calculations, and submitting them for
     payment that the measurement and calculations are correct to the
     best of their knowledge and that the quantity being measure is
     subject to direct payment for the identified item under the
     contract.

**109.06 Pricing of Adjustments.**

**(a) Proposal.**

accepted by the CO.

**(b) Closing date and invoice submittal date.** The closing date for
progress payments will be designated by the CO. Include work performed
after the closing date in the following month\'s invoice. Submit

the 16th day following the closing date will not be accepted for payment
processing that month. Include late, unprocessed invoice submittals in
the following month\'s invoice.

> are past due as of the closing date.

available by appointment at the Government\'s designated billing office
to advise the Contractor of quantities and unit prices appearing on the
Government\'s receiving report.

**(e) Processing progress payment requests.** No payment will be made
for work unless field note documentation for the work was provided by
the closing date.

> **(1) Invoices received by the 7th day following the closing date.**
>
> *(a) Proper invoices.* If the invoice meets the requirements of

> Contractor\'s invoice agree with the corresponding quantities and unit
> prices shown on the Government\'s receiving report, the invoice will
> be paid.

**(f) Partial payments.** Progress payments may include partial payment
for material to be incorporated in the work, provided the material meets
the requirements of the contract and is delivered on or in the vicinity
of the project site or stored in acceptable storage places.

Partial payments for stockpiled manufactured material (aggregates) will
be based on Contractor process control test results. If test results
show the material to be out-of-specification, or in \"reject\" where
statistical evaluation procedures are used, no payment for stockpiled
materials will be made.

Partial payment for material does not constitute acceptance of such
material for use in completing items of work. Partial payments will not
be made for living or perishable material until incorporated into the
project.

Partial payments for material will not exceed the lesser of:

> **(1)** 80 percent of the contract bid price for the item, or
>
> **(2)** 100 percent of amount supported by copies of invoices
> submitted.

The quantity paid will not exceed the corresponding quantity estimated
in the contract.
