6 Forward This manual is intended to assist in the calculation of contract working time, either in the design or planning stage to calculate contract duration, or during construction to assist in negotiations for extra work. It can also be used as a benchmark to compare contractor s production rates. Rates have been tabulated based on what an average contractor achieved over the life of a contract. The data was amassed over a ten-year period with input from all districts and regions. Where applicable, rates are based on a single crew, production plant or piece of equipment and may be adjusted accordingly, where multiple factors are to be used. Some rates include standard deviations or ranges, which were calculated based on job size, site location and conditions, haul routes, experience of contractor, etc. If a production range is given, then value will be dependent on outside factors and should be adjusted accordingly. It must be noted that rates can change significantly from contract to contract based on a multitude of factors, and therefore should not be accepted without prejudice. A thorough investigation should be undertaken to process all information that may affect the rate of an activity. Factors that can influence production rates are: weather site conditions (hilly, flat, rocky, wet, etc) labour (crew size, experience) traffic conditions equipment (condition, size, number) contract constraints (environmental, traffic) site location (urban vs. rural) seasons night work concurrent operations delivery times complexity of operation schedule strikes specifications (e.g. temperature restrictions) design factors multiple shifts incentives v

8 Working Day Chart CONSTRUCTION WORKING DAY CHART City Area District May June July Aug Sept Oct. Nov. TOTAL NorthWest North East Central West Chatham London Stratford Owen Sound Burlington Toronto Port Hope Kingston Ottawa Bancroft Huntsville North Bay New Liskeard Cochrane Sudbury Sault Ste. Marie Thunder Bay Kenora Notes: 1. The above yearly totals of Structure and/or Structure Rehabilitation Contracts with the exception of Structural Steel Coating Contracts should be increased by 5 WD. 2. The above yearly totals for Paving/Resurfacing Contracts should be reduced by 10 WD. 3. Structural Steel Coating Contracts: The following should be used when estimating the # of WD's available. For contracts in Northern and Northwest Regions, 82 working days. For contracts in Southwestern, Central and Eastern Regions, 95 working days. 4. General Temperature Restrictions: SuperPave 12.5 FC2 and SMA: air temperature 12 C and rising. Other top course pavements: air temperature must be 7 C and rising. Base course temperature 1

9 restriction is 2 C and rising. Ref. OPSS The above standard Working Day Chart excludes weekends. When a contractor includes weekends, the effect is to increase monthly working days by a minimum 20% for a 6-day workweek and 40% for a 7-day workweek. 6. For a more accurate value, select city (district) closest to contract location.
