3. For those services performed by the CONSULTANT, the CONSULTANT will be reimbursed the

It is the policy of the INDOT that Project Representatives and/or Inspectors be on the construction
site whenever the Contractor is engaged in any activity requiring inspection or testing concurrent
with the construction or activity. In order for the Contractor to comply with the Contract Plans
and Specifications and complete the work with the time required, it is often necessary for the
Contractor to work more than an 8-hour day and more than a 5-day week. This in turn may
require the Resident Project Representative and Inspectors to work over 40 hours per week. The
CONSULTANT shall not bill for overtime for any individual until 40 hours have been worked on
the Contract for the week by that individual. Holiday hours not worked on the Contract do not
apply to the 40 hour week total.
