MATERIAL AND TRUCK WEIGHING. The City reserves the right to randomly verify the quantity of materials supplied in connection with this Contract. Prior to unloading of materials that are priced on a unit weight basis (“unit weight materials”), the weight tickets must be provided to the Consultant (or in his/her absence, the City’s inspector). Material weight tickets that are not provided to the Consultant or the City’s inspector prior to unloading will not be accepted later for payment. When directed by the Consultant or the City’s inspector, trucks carrying unit weight materials shall proceed immediately to a City’s weighing facility as specified by the Contractor Administrator or the inspector. After passing through the City’s weight scale and unloading the materials, the empty truck shall return to the same facility to verify the vehicle tare if so directed by the Consultant or the City’s inspector. Should the weight verification show that the verified weight of the material is less than what is shown on the Contractor’s weight ticket by more than 1.0%, the payment for the affected load shall be made based on the weight measured by the City’s weighing facility. City staff will also adjust the method of measurement for all following loads that are not weight-verified but have been delivered to the site before a new weight verification process can prove the Contractor had rectified the weight inconsistency. The weight of the following loads will be adjusted based on an adjustment factor determined from the most recently weight-verified load The City will not compensate contractors for any cost associated with the weight verification process.
