Stockpile

The Description is the description on the invoice of the materials being supplied to the contractor. You have 60 characters to work with.

The Invoice Qty is the quantity reported on the invoice of the material being shipped.

The Invoice Number is the number assigned by the Supplier to the Contractor for this shipment of materials.

The invoice Amt is the dollar amount of the invoice that pertains to the materials being stockpiled. This dollar amount could include taxes and shipping cost.

The Unit Price will be automatically populated for you when you enter inthe Factor.

Stockpile

The Location is a description of the physical location of the materials being stockpiled. You have 60 characters to work with.

The Factor is the conversion factor of the invoiced material vs. the material in place.

StockpileFactor

Pull Boxes

How you determine the factor

Simply put, the Factor is the ratio of Stock Units to Constructed Units.

Factor = Stock Units / Constructed Units

Stock Unit = Pull Box

Stock Unit = Pull Box Lid

FDOT Pays for Unit Price for 1 Pull Box Installed

Q: How much stock does it take to construct one FDOT unit in the ground ? Pull Box Stock (Material Invoiced) at EA

Pull Box (Material in Place) paid at EA= Factor of 1 for Pull Box Stockpile

1 Stock - Pull Box Lid

1 FDOT pays unit in ground –Pull Box= Factor of 1 for Pull Box Lid Stockpile

Stockpile Guardrail Panels Stock Unit = LF

FDOT Pays for Guardrail by the LF

Q: How much stock does it take to construct one FDOT unit in the ground ?

Guardrail (Material in Place) paid at 1 LF= Factor of 1 for Stockpile Guardrail Panels

Q: How much stock does it take to construct one FDOT unit in the ground ?

StockpilePull Boxes Example

Starting at Invoice Number

use tab key to tab between data fields


The PTS application will populated and calculate these Data Fields


Article 9-5.5.2 (2)

- Partial payments for structural steel and precast prestressed items will not exceed 85% of the bid price for the item.

- Partial payments for all other items will not exceed 75% of the bid price of the item in which the material is to be used.


If the Invoice Amount exceeded the limits specified in Standard Specifications Article 9-5.5.2 (2) then PTS would decrease dollar amount

of the Invoice Amount Paid to the specification percentage allowed.

Selecting the Create button saves the Stockpile

StockpileDetail

If you click on the Invoice Number link, you will be able to view but not edit the information you entered for the material.

Stockpile Pull Boxes Example

To edit the Stockpile Record

To delete the Stockpile Record

You can “Close” out a stock pile. You would do this when you have paid on the Initial stockpile and you no longer need any of the stockpile materials.

The application will deduct the quantity previously paid on an estimate from the original stockpile quantity. The application will create a negative DWR quantity that will generate the dollar amount that will need to be deducted from the Contractor’s payment.

You are encouraged to provide some explanation as to why the stockpile is to be closed out. If you don’t supply an explanation, the system will default to “Close Out” as the reason. Once you enter your explanation, click on “OK”.

Stockpile Pull Boxes Example

Stockpile Adding Inventory

Adding inventory to a stockpile that was previously added through the PTS application.

New stock material is like the original stock material.

To replenish a stockpile that you previously added through the application, click on the “Add Inventory” link.

- Only do this if the new material is like the original material.

Adding Inventory will create a Replenish Sequence Id.

Stockpile Add Inventory Example Pull Boxes

Stockpile Add Components

Adding a new component to item that was previously stockpiled.

For new stock material that is different than the original stock material that was previously added through the PTS application..

Stockpile Add Component Example Guardrail

Components: Sometimes invoices received will contain various components of a pay item.

Example: Guardrail posts and rail panels. Same item with 2 components.

TransferPayitem Tracking System (PTS)

Function transfers all pay item pay quantities that deal with Partial Pay Items and Stockpiled Materials from

PTS into a SiteManager Daily Work Report (DWR).

TransferThe Transfer screen will allow you to select the ending date of the estimate period.

It is recommended to use the Estimate Cut-Off Date for transfers

If the DWR exists in SM under your UserId for the date and it is locked (authorized) the System will not update that DWR and will present an error message.

- The date will be the date of the new DWR created in SiteManager for the transferred PTS quantities.

- The new DWR in will be created under your UserId.

- If a DWR exists in SM under your UserId for the date you have selected and the DWR is not locked (authorized), the System will use that DWR and add the PTS quantities there. This will allow you to add all pay items not tracked through the PTS application on that DWR, then transfer the PTS quantities on to the DWR.

TransferSelect a date by double clicking in the date field to bring up the calendar – or

type over with your date.

With date selected click Submit to transfer.

Prime Contractor

Once quantities have been transferred from the PTS Application to the DWR, that DWR may be used to add all other quantities for the period.

Also the location field was updated by PTS as “See

Estimate Detail Report.” However, to run this PTS

report the estimate must first be generated in SiteManager.

After the SiteManager estimate is generated…

Run the PTS “Estimate Detail Report.”

Transfer

Select Contract and Estimate Number

Submit

The Estimate Detail Report will be attached to the SM/TSO estimate

posted on the Department’s website

It is recommended to Transfer PTS quantities only ONCE

for the Monthly Estimate period.

Since the Transfer function creates a DWR for the date specified,

multiple transfers on different dates during the estimate period

will create duplicate quantity payments, which if not caught

would result in overpayment to the contractor.

PTS Pitfalls

PTS Pitfalls

Also, issues arise when quantities on Partial Pay Items or Stockpiled Materials are entered directly on to DWR(s) in SiteManager (the PTS is not used).

Since the PTS System reads SiteManager unequal estimate quantities between the two systems are flagged.

Example of issue with quantities entered into SiteManager that do not match PTS.

In this case Worksheet Summary Items highlighted in RED are a result of quantities on Partial Pay Items were entered directly on to DWR in SiteManager – PTS was not used.

PTS Pitfalls

The Exclude Items tab will open a column that will enable you to mark items not to be transferred (before clicking Submit)

This tool is helpful when there is a possible issue with quantities entered into SiteManager that do not match PTS.

Excluding Items when transferring can bring the two systems in balance

Exclude items from transfer (before clicking Submit)

PTS Pitfalls

Payitem Tracking System (PTS)After SM Estimate Generation

What PTS should look like after an estimate in SiteManager has been generated.

After SM Estimate GenerationAfter the SM estimate is generated…

the PTS Worksheet Summary Shows the SiteManager and PTS

quantity information are in balance.

After SM Estimate Generation

After the SM estimate is generated…PTS input may begin for the next DWR Qty for the next estimate.

PTS entries may begin as long as the last estimate exists in SM. That estimate may be pending approval in SM to the next level or awaiting payment in EED.

After SM Estimate Generation

If for some reason Est# 0001 is deleted in SiteManager, the values entered in PTS for the next estimate (Est# 0002) are not lost. They will not be viewable in PTS when Est# 0001 does not exist in SM.

When Est# 0001 is regenerated in SM, the stored PTS DRW Qty for Est# 0002 will reappear… as PTS will now be back on the Current Estimate (Est# 0002).

PTS input conducted for future Est #0002.
