F05.00 LANE RENTAL FEE FOR EXTENDED USE OF LANE(S) 04/01/16 A Lane Rental Fee for extended lane use will be assessed against the Contractor for each lane closure or traffic obstruction that results in the number of travel lanes being less than the minimum required by Attachment A or the specified holiday restrictions, when such lane closure or obstruction is caused by the Contractor s operations, whether or not work is being performed. The time periods set forth in Attachment A or the specified holiday restrictions outline the Contractor s working time limitations for traffic control and lane closure pattern(s). A lane is an unrestricted, active travel lane or ramp of at least 12 feet or as specified by the contract documents and includes all Interchange and Service Plaza ramps. The Lane Rental Fee to be assessed per hour for each lane closure or obstruction that results in the number of travel lanes being less than the minimum required by Attachment A or the specified holiday restrictions is as follows: LOCATION 1 LANE 2 LANES 3 LANES 4 LANES MP A20.00 to MP A57.31 $38,000 $47,000 $56,000 $65,000 MP to MP $55,000 $64,000 $73,000 $82,000 Should a lane closure or obstruction overlap the areas indicated above, the higher Lane Rental Fee will be assessed for the entire area affected by the lane closure or obstruction. The Contractor and the Commission recognize that extended lane use beyond that permitted by the contract documents results in damage to the Commission in terms of the effect of the delay on the use of the Project and upon the public convenience, and results in adverse revenue impacts to the Commission. By executing this contract, the Contractor acknowledges that the Lane Rental Fee is not a penalty but a reasonable per diem forecast of the damage incurred by the Commission due to the Contractor s failure to maintain the requisite minimum number of lanes open to unobstructed travel as called for by Attachment A or the specified holiday restriction. When it becomes evident that the Contractor s operation(s) will result in extended lane use and a Lane Rental Fee, the Representative will direct the Contractor to take immediate action to bring the Project into conformance with Attachment A or the specified holiday restriction. The Contractor s operations will be suspended until the Contractor demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Representative that proper measures, including adequate planning, scheduling and coordination, have been taken to complete the operations within working time and lane closure limitations. No contract time extension will be granted for suspension of any operation which resulted in a Lane Rental Fee assessment. Any request for extension of allowable hours without assessment of the Lane Rental Fee must be pre-approved by the Representative prior to implementation of the lane closure. Approval of any individual request will not be considered a precedent for approval or denial of any future requests. Network No SP (A R )

7 The Representative will be the sole authority for determination of Lane Rental Fees. The entire amount will be assessed for any portion of the hour for which a lane closure or obstruction exists. The Commission will have the right to apply as payment for such Lane Rental Fees any money which is due to the Contractor by the Commission. At the discretion of the Representative, the Lane Rental Fee may be waived or reduced for failure to open the minimum number of travel lanes if such cause is beyond the control of the Contractor, i.e., Act of God, catastrophic events, accidents not related or caused by the Contractor s operations. The waiver or reduction of Lane Rental Fees will not operate as a waiver on the part of the Commission of any of its rights under the contract.
