New Line Item Alert - December 2019

Price List Commentary

Actionable gets a myriad of requests each year to add more lines that reflect the inefficiencies associated with working in confined spaces. Well, good news Insighters, the Pricing Department has heard your requests. In December the Pricing Department added two more confined space line items.

• HVCDCTCS Ductwork – Add-on for confined spaces
• HVCDCTCSF Ductwork – Add-on for confined spaces – flexible

In other news, 9’ tall doors have become more common in new construction and, as a result, the Pricing Department has made the warranted concessions. See these 5 new line items.

• DORDOR9RS Interior door, 9′ – Detach & reset – slab only
• DORSD39FR Steel door, 3′ x 9′ – fire rated
• DORSDF39 Steel door frame – 3′ x 9′ opening
• DORWDBFR9 Wood door, 9′- birch face, fire-rated (mineral fiber core)
• DORWDOFR9 Wood door, 9′ – oak face, fire-rated (mineral fiber core)

Lastly, in the obscure scenario where we are lifting a slab, have no fear, new line items are here:

• CNCSLFTM Concrete slab lifting / raising – slurry mix
• CNCSLFTP Concrete slab lifting / raising – polyurethane foam

Q: Here is my question: In what scenario does slab lifting fall under one of the 16 named perils i.e., when would this activity be performed as a covered incurred cost?

For quick reference, here’s a list of the 16 most commonly named perils:

1. Fire or lightning
2. Windstorm or hail
3. Explosion
4. Riots
5. Aircraft
6. Vehicles
7. Smoke
8. Vandalism
9. Theft
10. Falling objects
11. Weight of ice, snow, or sleet
12. Accidental discharge or overflow of water or steam
13. Sudden and accidental tearing, cracking, burning, or bulging
14. Freezing
15. Sudden and accidental damage due to short-circuiting
16. Volcanic Eruption
