Steel Producer Price Indexes (PPI)

The following table lists Producer Price Indexes from the USDOL Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Use the appropriate table as per contract specifications. The PPIs are to be used in the computation of progress and final payments for the Steel /Iron Price Adjustment. Instructions for calculating these payments are contained in the NJDOT Standard Specifications. The final PPI is usually available 4 months after publication of the preliminary PPI.
