RFP 1Book 3
1 INTRODUCTIONThis is a listing of standards that the Design-Builder shall utilize in performing the final design andconstruction of the Project described in the RFP. It shall be the Design-Builder’s responsibility to ensure thatthe most current version as of RFP release date is used for each of the references listed. See each section forspecific requirements from the references, as well as the hierarchy of the references for that section.
1.1 MDOT and Other ReferencesAll Project design and construction shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of this RFP andthe Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Standard Specifications for Construction, (StandardSpecifications), as well as the other special provisions, manuals, technical memoranda, standards, andguidelines listed in the Contract Documents. The criteria listed within the Standard Specifications and theMDOT engineering manuals and other references are considered minimums in terms of the required qualityof Project workmanship and design. Where MDOT has not included a special provision applicable to theDesign-Builder’s Work, or where the Design-Builder proposes additional or different special provisions,these special provisions shall be subject to the Approval of MDOT. If it is not clear to the Design-Builderhow the special provisions, manuals, technical memoranda, standards, or guidelines should be interpreted,the Design-Builder shall have the obligation to raise the issue with MDOT. Regardless of whether theDesign-Builder raises the issue, MDOT shall always have the right to notify the Design-Builder if theDesign-Builder is interpreting the modification incorrectly.
1.2 MDOT Web SiteOrdering information for most MDOT references, including specifications, plans, and details, is on MDOT’sWeb site: http://www.michigan.gov/mdot/
1.3 MDOT ManualsWhen an RFP document or manual refers to other MDOT manuals, the applicable MDOT version in effect atthe time of the RFP Release Date shall be used.
1.4 Road Design ManualSpecifically, the roadway geometric design shall be in accordance with the MDOT Road Design Manual
(English), which specifies MDOT’s new Construction/Reconstruction Standards. These standards shall beused for each of the design elements described in this RFP, unless otherwise noted.
1.5 Other Design CriteriaUnless otherwise specified in this RFP, the Project design shall be governed by MDOT policies,specifications, standards, manuals, guidelines, and technical memoranda, including all addenda, supplements,and revisions thereto. Generally, the design shall comply with the criteria established by MDOT andAASHTO. The latest version (current version as of the RFP Release Date) of these references shall be usedunless otherwise specified.
1.6 Web SitesWeb sites have been supplied to the Design-Builder for some of the standards listed below for convenienceonly in an effort to help the Design-Builder locate the required standard. The Web sites are not guaranteed tobe correct. It is ultimately the Design-Builder’s responsibility to locate the required standard and todetermine if the standard has been modified pursuant to this RFP.
1.7 General ModificationsThe following modifications shall apply to applicable standards listed in Book 3.

RFP 2Book 3
1.7.1 General1. All references to standards, codes, or criteria, or to the latest version of other standards, codes, or criteria
in Book 2 of the Contract Documents shall mean the latest version as of RFP release date.
2. Certain MDOT standards have been written as guidance documents and not as mandatory requirements.For purposes of this Project, the Design-Builder shall assume that all provisions of MDOT standards,including figures and tables, are mandatory, and guidelines shall be assumed to be requirements. Allwords such as “should,” “may,” “could,” and “can” shall mean “shall” unless the context requiresotherwise, as determined in the sole discretion of MDOT. The Design-Builder shall disregard qualifyingwords such as “usually,” “normally,” and “generally.” In addition, references to MDOT’s preferredpractices and policies, including those using phrases such as “should be considered”, shall be construedto be mandatory requirements unless the context requires otherwise, as determined in the sole discretionof MDOT.

4. Some standards may provide general information (e.g., descriptions of MDOT divisions and their duties,descriptions of legal authority, or descriptions of internal MDOT procedures) that does not apply todesign-build contracts; however, in some cases it may not be clear whether rights or responsibilities areapplicable to the Design-Builder. If it is unclear whether specific provisions in the standard areapplicable to the Design-Builder, the Design-Builder shall raise the issue with MDOT and MDOT shallmake that determination in its sole discretion.
5. If the Design-Builder believes that an item in the standards is unclear, the Design-Builder shall have theobligation to raise the issue with MDOT. Regardless of whether the Design-Builder raises the issue,MDOT shall always have the right to notify the Design-Builder if the Design-Builder is interpreting themodification incorrectly.

2. When a standard refers to “extra work,” “compensation for,” “at the Department’s expense,” “quantityadjustments,” “equivalent quantities,” or similar phrases, such references shall be disregarded. It is theintent that the payment of the Contract Price will be full compensation for all Work performed pursuantto the Design-Build Contract unless specific provisions for additional payments are contained in Book 1or Book 2 of the Contract Documents.
1.7.3 Roles and Responsibilities1. When a standard refers to “Engineer” relating to design responsibilities, such references shall mean the
Design-Builder’s Engineer, unless otherwise specified. It shall be in MDOT’s sole discretion todetermine when the context refers to design responsibilities.
2. When a standard uses the term “Engineer” relating to construction inspection, materials testing, disposal,restoration, extension of time, testing frequency, testing results and suitable method, such term shallmean MDOT. It shall be in MDOT’s sole discretion to determine when the context refers to theseapplications.

Itshall be in MDOT’s sole discretion to determine when the context requires otherwise.
15. When a standard refers the Project Manager as it relates to plan processes, sending information orrequesting information from internal MDOT entities, the term “Project Manager” does not mean theDesign-Builder.
