Payment adjustment will be applied for granular sealer and tack coat based on changes of MTO’s PGAC price index. The PGAC price index as published monthly on the Contract Bulletin is compared to the price index prior to tender opening to determine the payment adjustment. The PGAC content in the materials (tack coat or granular sealer) is calculated based on the formulae in the NSSP, and the calculated PGAC will be used as the quantity to determine the payment adjustment for the tender item of granular sealer or tack coat.

Based on the feedback from the consultation process, the new Special Provision for Payment Adjustment for Changes in the Steel Price Index has been edited or clarifications were provided in response to comments where editing was not required. The special provision will be finalized and published as a SP199 series special provision.
