Eligible Items
Only nonperishable items are eligible for MOH payments. Nonperishable items are those that do not have a shelf life or whose characteristics do not materially change when exposed to the elements. The following are examples of nonperishable items eligible for MOH payment.
- Concrete Traffic Barrier (CTB)
- Precast Concrete Box Culverts (PCBC)
- concrete piling
- Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP)
- illumination poles
- base materials or aggregates stockpiled onsite or produced and stockpiled specifically for the contract at a non-commercial source in the vicinity of the work locations. (If more than one contract is being supplied, ensure that separate stockpiles are maintained for each contract). For the purpose of MOH payment for the base materials and stockpiled aggregates, a commercial source is defined as any source that supplies base, aggregates, hot-mix asphalt (HMA), or concrete to the general public, while a non-commercial source is defined as a source that does not supply to the general public.)
Transportation costs are eligible for MOH reimbursement when the materials are delivered to the project. Transportation costs may be eligible when Contractors receive the materials at a remote Contractor-owned yard where the Department can monitor the materials. If materials are delivered to a remote Contractor-owned yard, the transportation cost cannot exceed the cost for a direct delivery to the project.
Other materials determined to be nonperishable and approved as such may be considered for MOH payment.
If determined beneficial, separate identifiable stockpiles located at a commercial source may be eligible for MOH payment. In addition, any item considered unique in nature and fabricated specifically for a contract may be considered for MOH payment. Verify that all materials meet contract requirements.
