What are Generic Pay Items?
• General-use pay items for each design group (component set of plans) that are defined by a pay item supplemental description in the Trns•port system.
• A single generic pay item number can be used many times, but only once per project/ proposal; each time it is used the appropriate descriptive information must be included in Trns•port system.

Why Do We use Generic Pay Items?
• To facilitate the use of one-time or limited-use non-standard work items.
• To provide more flexibility in Utilities pay item structure.

1A = Design Group/Trns•port CategoryB = Sequential number
(Note: Zeros are hard-coded; they are NOT blanks.)
• The pay item description in Trns•port is named generically, by category work type(Structures for 100, Roadway for 200, etc.):

Codings of Generic Pay Items Examples
• The next series of examples shows how to code generic pay items and are called:

THE GOOD
• Our first example, we shows how a generic pay item should be correctly coded in a project. This example shows a unique situation where a generic pay item call “Helical Piles” is used on two projects that will be strung together on a Proposal and show how the quantities are rolled up correctly.

THE BAD
This example shows when inputting a generic pay item in a project, a description of the generic pay item and an actual unit of measure must be typed in the Supplemental Description block in order for the everyone to know the name or the description of the generic pay item.

THE UGLY
We will show how when inputting incorrectly the generic pay item of the Helical Piles in our special situation of two projects being strung together can cause havoc on our Proposal Summary Report.
