11. ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACT UNIT PRICES
This Special Provision Covers The Method Of Price Adjustment For Bituminous Materials.
The normal bid items in the contract covering the bituminous material shall remain the same, but the

contractor's bituminous material cost in the following manner:
City of Mt. Juliet Finance Department
2425 N. Mt. Juliet Rd. | Mt. Juliet, TN 37122
Phone: 615-754-2554 | Fax: 615-754-7225

A "Basic Bituminous Material Index" will be established by the Tennessee Department of Transportation
prior to the time the bids are opened. This "Basic Bituminous Material Index" is the average of the current
quotations on P.G. 64-22 from suppliers furnishing asphalt cement to contractors in the State of Tennessee.
These quotations are the cost per ton f.o.b. supplier's terminal.
The "Basic Bituminous Material Index" for this project is $746.92 per ton for June 2026.
The "Monthly Bituminous Material Index" is also established on the first day of each month by the same
method. The "Monthly Bituminous Adjustment Factor" is the difference (+/-) between the "Basic
Bituminous Material Index" and the "Monthly Bituminous Material Index".
The "Monthly Bituminous Adjustment Factor" shall be applied to the contract unit price bid provided
the increase or decrease differs 5% or more from the "Basic Bituminous Material Index". The Public Works
Director reserves the right to alter the quantities of material or modify the design mix if the change in prices
warrants material or design substitution.
The adjustment will be calculated in accordance with the following formula only when the percentage
change of price indexes is five or greater:
PA = [Ic - Ib] x T
Where,
PA = Price Adjustment for Adjustment
Month Ib = Basic Bituminous Material Index
IC = Monthly Bituminous Material Index
T = Tons Bituminous Material for Adjustment Month

2425 N. Mt. Juliet Rd. | Mt. Juliet, TN 37122
Phone: 615-754-2554 | Fax: 615-754-7225

Price adjustment will be applied to all asphalt cement, asphalt emulsion, or bituminous material used for
paving on this project.
The quantity of virgin asphalt cement in tons subject to price adjustment in recycled mixes shall be the
product of the total tons of each mix multiplied by the difference between (1) the percent of asphalt cement
specified for bidding purposes and (2) the percent of asphalt cement obtained from the recycled asphaltic
material used in each mix. No price adjustment under this special provision for increases and decreases in
the contractor's cost for virgin asphalt cement in recycled mixes will be allowed for asphalt cement content
in excess of the percent specified for bidding purposes, as all payment adjustments for asphalt cement in the
mix design of recycled mixes in excess of the percent of asphalt cement specified for bidding purposes will
be made in accordance with the specifications.
The price adjustment for increases and decreases in the contractor's cost for virgin asphalt cement in
recycled mixes will be calculated as follows when the percentage change in price indexes is five or more:
PA = [Ic - Ib] x [BA - RA] x Tm 100
Where,
PA = Price Adjustment for Adjustment Month
Ib = Basic Bituminous Material Index
IC = Monthly Bituminous Material Index
BA = Percent Ashphalt Specified for Bidding Purposes
RA = Percent Ashpalt Obtained from Recycled Asphaltic Material Used in Each Mix
Tm = Tons Asphalt Mix for Adjustment Month
The above procedure for calculating price adjustments for recycled mixes is also applicable to mixes
consisting of one hundred percent virgin material when the asphalt cement is not a separate bid item and the
asphalt content in each mix is established for bidding purposes. A totally virgin mix is a special case in
which the percentage of asphalt obtained from recycled asphaltic material is zero (i.e., RA = 0).
