J. ROAD USER COSTS:
Temporary Lane Closures: For Work order #8 Chapel Street Location
FAILURE TO OPEN PROJECT TO UNRESTRICTED HIGHWAY TRAFFIC ON TIME
Late Opening of Temporary Lane Closures
Interim Road User Costs (RUC) for delays in opening lanes will be assessed according to the chart below. Refer to
the Allowable Lane Closure Matrix in the Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plans for start and end times of allowable
lane closures. The interim Road User Costs (RUC) established will be $500.00 per 15 minutes per lane closed
beyond the allowable lane closure hours, Monday through Sunday.
Table 1
S. Chapel Street
Time All Lanes Reopened After End of
Road User Cost
Allowable Lane Closure Hours
1st 15-minute increment $500
2nd 15-minute increment $500
3rd 15-minute increment $500
4th 15-minute increment $500
5th 15-minute increment $500
6th 15-minute increment $500
7th 15-minute increment $500
8th 15-minute increment $500
*After the first two hours beyond the allowable lane closure hour limit,
RUC will accrue at $500 per 15min, up to a day total of
$12,000. The RUC values within the chart are not cumulative, payments
made after the first two hours are.
Example of calculation for assessment of Road User Cost:
For the use of this example, the lane closure matrix on the MOT plans will have a lane open time of 3:00 PM.
1) Failure to reopen S. Chapel Street until 4:05 PM, during the 5th 15-minute increment, local time:
Per Table 1, a RUC of $2,500 will be assessed.
2) Failure to reopen S. Chapel Street until 7:20 PM, local
time: Per Table 1, a RUC of $7,000 will be assessed.
* $4,000 for the first two-hour period
* 5:00 PM - 7:20 PM = $500 x (6) 15 min increments = $3,000
Assessment of the RUC will be made through Item 763525 - Road User Cost. The engineer will be the sole
approving authority as to when the project is complete after traffic is returned to the ultimate alignment and when the
contractors work activities will permit highway traffic ultimate lane width and shoulder widths.

Contract No. T202501101.02
Extended Lane Closures: For Work order #2 Old Capitol Trail Location
FAILURE TO OPEN PROJECT TO UNRESTRICTED HIGHWAY TRAFFIC ON TIME
A RUC of $2,800 will be assessed for each calendar day the Old Capitol Trail is not fully opened to traffic in excess
of the allowable closure duration identified in the Plans. The full daily RUC is assessed regardless of what time of
day the roadway or ramp is reopened, starting at 12:00 AM. As such, no consideration will be given for partial
calendar days.
Example of calculation for assessment of Road User Cost:
The duration of the detour according to the Plans is 45 calendar days. If the roadway is reopened at 12:05 AM on
day 46, the full amount of the $2,800 RUC will be assessed.
Assessment of the RUC will be made through Item 763525 - Road User Cost. The engineer will be the sole
approving authority as to when the project is complete after traffic is returned to the ultimate alignment and when the
