all work done on the portions so abandoned, if any.
19. THE CONTRACTING AUTHORITY'S RIGHT TO DO WORK:
If the Contractor should neglect to presecute the work properly or
fail to perform any provision of this Contract, the Contracting Authority
after three (3) day's written notice to the Contractor may without prejudice
to any other remedy it may have, make good such deficiencies, and may de-
duct the cost thereof from payments then or thereafter due the Contractor.
. . 20. THE CONTRACTING AUTHORITY'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE CONTRACT:
If the Contractor should be adjudged a bankrupt, or if he should
make a general assignment,,Mor the benefit of his creditors, or if a receiver
should be appointed on account of his insolvency, or if he should refuse or
should fail, except in case for which extension of time is provided to
supply enough properly skilled workmen or proper materials, or if he should
fail to make prompt payment to Subcontractors or for material or labor, or
-desregard laws, ordinances, or the instructions of the Engineer, or other-
wise be guilty of a substantial violation of any provision of the Contract,
then the Contracting Authority, upon the certificate of the Engineer that
sufficient., cause exists to justify such action, may, without prejudice to
any other right or remedy and after giving the Contractor ten (10) day's
written notice, terminate the employment of the Contractor as provided under
Paragraph 21, immediately following. In such case, the Contractor shall
not be entitled to receive any further payment until the work is finished.
If the unpaid balance of the contract price shall exceed the expense of
finishing the work, including compensation for additional managerial and
administrative services, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If
such expenses shall exceed such unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay
the difference to the Contracting Authority. The expense incurred by the
Contracting Authority as herein provided and the damage incurred through
the Contractor's default, shall be certified by the Engineer.
20
S
Pending settlement of disputes on any point of controversy,
the Engineer may suspend action on all or any part of the work. The
• Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim for loss or damage by
reason of such delay, nor shall he be entitled to extension of time,
• although such extension of time may be granted by the Engineer if he
deems it in the interest of the work.
21. TERMINATION FOR BREACH:
In the event that any of the provisions of this Contract
are violated by the Contractor or by any of his Subcontractors, the
Contracting Authority may serve written notice upon the Contractor and
the Surety of -its intention to terminate such Contract, such notices to
contain the reasons for such intentions to terminate the Contract, and
unless within ten (10) days after the serving of such notice upon the
Contractor such violation shall cease and satisfactory arrangements for
correction by made, the Contract shall, upon the expiration of said ten
(10) days, cease and terminate. In the event of any such termination,
the Contracting Authority shall immediately serve notice thereof upon
the Surety and the Contractor, and the Surety shall have the right to
take over and perform the Contract, provided, however, that if the
Surety does not commence performance thereof within thirty (30) days
from the date of the mailing to such Surety of notice of termination,
the Contracting Authority may take over the work and prosecute the
same'=to:Completion by contract for the account and at the expense of
the Contractor, and the Contractor and his Surety shall be liable to the
Contracting Authority for any excess cost occasioned the Contracting
Authority thereby, and in such event the Contracting Authority may
take possession of and utilize in completing the work, such materials,
appliances, and plant as may be on the site of the work and necessary
therefor.
22. PAYLENTS WITHHELD:
The Contracting Authority may withhold or, on accout of
subsequently discovered evidence, nullify the whole or part of any
certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect the Contract-
ing Authority from loss on account of:
(a) Defective work not remedied,
,(b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating
probable filing of claims,
(c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly
to Subcontractor or for material or labor,
(d) Damage to another Contractor,
(e) Incomplete work
When -the above grounds are removed, payment shall be made for amounts
withheld because of them.
23. DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TINE:
If, at any time, the Contractor considers he is being delayed
by an act or neglect of the Contracting Authority or its employees, or
by any other Contractor employed by the Contracting Authority, or by any
changes or additions ordered in the work, or for any reason beyond his control,
21
4.
he shall within ten (10) days from the beginning of such delay notify the
Engineer in writing of the causes of any such delay. Extensions of time,
with relief from responsibility for liquidated damages incurred by the
Contracting Authority on account of such delay, will be granted the
Contractor, when, in the opinion of the Engineer, the causes so called to
his attention warrant such extensions of time. No claims for delay will
be considered unless such notice has been filed with the Engineer within
the time specified above.
The Contractor will be required to furnish the Engineer two copies
of each purchase order for materials and equipment as they are issued. If
the Contractor shall seek an extension of time because of delay in receiving
delivery of critical materials, such extension of time may be granted when,
in the opinion of the Engineer, the extension is warranted and the delay is
in no way caused by the Contractor's financial status or by any act or
• failure to act on the part of the Contractor. Failure to get items of
• material or equipment not essential to the completion of those portions of
the work, which, in the opinion of the Engineer requires supervision by an
Engineer, shall not be deemed justification for waiver of liquidated damages,
however, even though such delays are beyond the Contractor's control, and
even though such items of material or equipment may be essential to the
actual placing in operation of a portion of all of the project. When such
items of materials or equipment are delayed for reasons beyond the Contractor's
control, he shall complete all other work within the specified construction
period.
Extensions of time, without relief from responsibility for liqui-
dated damages incurred by the Contracting Authority on account of delays,
may be granted the Contractor on account of his failure to complete the work
within the time specified.
24. ADDITIONAL, 024ITTED, OR CHANCED WORK:
The Contracting Authority, without invalidating the Contract may
order additional work to be done in connection with the Contract or may alter
or deduct from the work, the Contract sum to be adjusted accordingly.
Additional work shall be done as ordered in writing by the Engineer,
-which order shall state the location, character, and amount of extra
work. All such work shall be executed under the conditions of the original
contract and subject to the same inspection and tests as though therein
included.
Compensation for additional, omitted, or changed work shall be
adjusted as follows:
Any changes in quantities of work for which unit prices are required
in the Proposal shall be at and for the price bid. Work for which prices
are not required shall be paid for or deducted, as the case may be, upon
the basis of an estimate prepared by the Contractor and approved by the
Engineer, prior to the written order changing the quantity of work.
If the Contractor claims compensation for additional work not
ordered as aforesaid, or for claims of damages sustained, he shall make a
written statement of claims for compensation or damages to the Engineer,.
22
which statement shall be in the hands of the Engineer within such time as
will allow a full consideration of the basis for such claim, and in no
case later than fifteen (15) days after the work has been completed or
damages sustained. The Contractor shall furnish, if required, any accounts,
• bills, or vouchers relating thereto. Unless such claims are made as re-
ruired, they shall be considered forfeited and invalid.
• The Contracting Authority reserves the right to contract with any
person or firm other than the Contractor for any or all extra work. The
Contractor's attention is especially called to the fact that he shall be
entitled to no claim for damages for anticipated profits on any portion of
the work to be omitted.
25. ARBITRATION:
(a) Demand for Arbitration. Any decision of the Engineer which
is subject to arbitration shall be submitted to arbitration upon the demand
of either party to the dispute.
The Contractor shall not cause a delay of the work because of the.
pendency of arbitration proceedings, except with the written permission of
the Engineer, and then only until the arbitrators shall have any oppor-
tunity to determine whether or not the work shall continue until they decide
the matters in dispute.
The demand for arbitration shall be delivered in writing to the
Engineer and the adverse party, either personally or by registered mail to
the last known address of each, within ten (10) days of the receipt of the
Engineer's decision, and in no case after final payment has been accepted.
If the Engineer fails to make a decision within a reasonable time, a demand
for arbitration may be made as if his decision had been rendered against
the demanding party.
(b) Arbitrators. No one shall be nominated or act as an arbitra-
tor who is in any way financially interested in this Contract or in the
business affairs of the Contracting Authority, or the Contractor, or the
Engineer, or otherwise connected with any of them. Each Arbitrator shall
be a person in general familiar with the work or the problem involved in
the dispute submitted to arbitration.
Unless otherwise provided by controlling statutes, the parties may
agree upon one arbitrator; otherwise there shall be three, one named in
writing by each party to this Contract, to the other party, and the third
• chosen by those two arbitrators.
If there be one arbitrator, -his decision shall be binding; if
three, the decision of any two shall be binding in respect to both the
matter submitted to and the procedure followed during the arbitration.
Such decision shall be a condition precedent to any right of legal action.
(c) Arbitration Procedure. The arbitrators shall deliver a
written notice to each of the parties and to the Engineer, either personally
or by registered mail to the last known address of each, of the time and
place for the beginning of the hearing of the matters submitted to them.
23
Each party may submit to the arbitrators such evidence and arguments as he
• may desire and the arbitrators may consider pertinent. The arbitrators
shall, however, be the judges of all matters of law and fact relating to
both the subject matters of and the procedure during arbitration and shall
not be bound by technical rules of law or procedure. They may hear
• evidence in whatever form they desire. The parties may be represented
before them by such persons as each may select, subject to the discipli-
nary power of the arbitrators if such representative shall interfere with
• the orderly or speedy conduct of the proceedings.
Each party, and the Engineer, shall supply the arbitrators with
such papers and information as they demand, or with any witness whose move-
ments are subject to their respective control, and upon refusal or neglect
to comply with such demands, the arbitrator may render their decision
without the evidence which might have been solicited therefrom, and the
absence of such evidence shall afford no ground for challenge of the award
by the party refusing or neglecting to comply with such demand.
The submission to arbitration (the statement of the matters in
dispute between the parties to be passed upon by the arbitrators) shall be
writing duly acknowledged before a notary. Unless waived in writing by
both parties to the arbitration, the arbitrators, before hearing testimony,
shall be sworn by an officer authorized by law to administer an oath,
.faithfully and fairly to hear and examine the matters in controversy and to
make a just award according to the best of their understanding..
The arbitrators, if they deem the case demands it, are authorized
to award to the party whose contention is sustained such sums as they
shall consider proper for the time, expense, and trouble incident to the
arbitration, and if the arbitration was demanded without reasonable cause,
damages for delay, and other losses.
The award of the arbitrators shall be in writing and acknowledged
like a deed to be recorded_, and a duplicate shall be delivered personally
or by registered mail forthwith upon its rendition, to each of the parties
to the controversy and to the Engineer. Judgement may be rendered upon
the award by the Federal Court or by the highest State Court having juris-
-diction to render same.
The award of the arbitrators shall not be open to objection on
account of the form of the oroceedinas or the award, unless otherwise
provided by the controlling statutes. In the event of such statutes pro-
viding on any matter covered by this article otherwise than as herein -
before specified, the method of procedure throughout and the legal effect
of the award shall be wholly in accord with said statutes, it being the
intention hereby to lay down a principle of action to be followed, leaving
its local application to be adapted to the legal requirements of the
jurisdiction having authority over the arbitration.
The Engineer shall -not be deemed a party to the dispute. He is
given the right to appear before the arbitrators to explain the basis of
his decision and give evidence as they may require.

26. REFERENCE TO MANUFACTURER OR TRADE NAMES:
Whenever a material, article or piece of equipment is
identified on the plans or in the specifications by reference to
manufacturers' or vendors' names, trade names, catalogue numbers, etc.,
it is intended merely to establish a standard; and, any material,
article, or equipment of other manufacturers and vendors which will perform
adequately the duties imposed by the general design will be considered
equally acceptable provided the material, article, or equipment so proposed,
is, in the opinion of the Engineer, of equal substance and function. It
shall not be purchased or installed by the contractor without the Engineers'
written approval.
27. USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS:
The Contracting Authority shall have the right to take
possession. of and use any completed or partially completed portions
of the work, notwithstanding that the time for completing the entire work
on such portions may not have expired; but such taking possession and use
shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work not completed in accordance
with the Contract Documents. If such prior use of completed portions
increases the cost of, or delays the work, the Contractor shall be entitled
to such extra compensation or extension of time, or both, as the Engineer
may determine.
The Contracting Authority, in taking possession of completed
portions, shall agree to accept the decision of the Engineer, on matters
relating to responsibility for damages that may occur to any portion of
the work during the period of possession preceding acceptance and final
payment.
28. ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT:
As soon as the work has been substantially and satisfactorily
completed, the Engineer will make a final estimate stating that the work
provided for under this Contract has been completed and is accepted by
him under the terms and conditions thereof, with qualifications, if any,
as stated. If certain parts of the work are not completed or if certain
corrections must be made in the work even though the work is substantially
completed, the Engineer is authorized to determine the amount which in his
opinion is required for completion and/or correction of the work, and such
amount may be withheld from the final payment to the Contractor, pending
the completion and correction as required. The balance found to be due the
Contractor shall be paid by the Contracting authority within forty (40)
days after the date of the final estimate. Prior to filing for final
estimates, the Contractor shall file with the Engineer a receipt in full
from each manufacturer, subcontractor; dealer and supplier for all equipment
and material ..used on the work and a complete release of all liens which may
have arisen from this Contract. In lieu thereof, the Contractor shall file
statements showing balance due or claimed on all accounts and the Contracting
Authority shall have the right, if it so elects, to withhold sufficient
money to pay such balances until receipts in full or satisfactory evidence
of final determination are filed with the Engineer who may then make
the final estimate.
25
i.
The making and acceptance of the final payment shall
constitute a waiver of all claims by the Contracting Authority, other than
those arising from incomplete or uncorrected work, unsettled liens, or
from faulty workmanship or materials, and of all claims by the Contractor,
except those previously made and still unsettled.
If the work has been partially but substantially completed
to the extent that all adjustments in the Contract sum may be made, the
Engineer may, if material delay in completion is anticipated or if
otherwise deemed in the interest of the work, make the final estimate,
retaining, in addition to other requirements which may be specified
under payments, an amount representing the cost of unfinished work.
Such payment shall be under the terms and conditions governing final
payment.
Neither the making of the final estimate, or final payment,
shall relieve the Contractor of his responsibility for faulty materials
or workmanship, and he shall remedy any defects and pay for any damage
resulting therefrom which shall appear within a period of one (1) year
from the date of substantial completion. The Owner shall give notice of
observed defects with reasonable promptness, and all questions arising
under this paragraph shall be decided by the Engineer.
29. PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR:
The Engineer will on or about the Twentieth (20th) day of
each month make an estimate of the work done. As soon thereafter as
possible, and as soon as the Contractor has filed receipted bills showing
that he has paid the previous month`s bills, the Contractor will be paid
seventy (70) percent of the value of work in place, plus ten (10) percent
for that portion of the work accepted for beneficial occupancy, plus (20)
percent of the value of work that has been properly cleaned up, plus
fifty (50) percent of the value of the materials on the job site but
not in place (figured from the Contractors paid invoices), minus amounts
previously paid. A final estimate will be made following the final
inspection as provided under paragraph 28, after which time and within a
period of forty (40) days, the Contractor will be paid the full amount of
the contract price, less amounts previously paid. Payment will be made
only for the actual quantities installed.
The Contracting Authority may withhold or, on account of sub-
sequently discovered evidence, nullify the whole or part of any certificates
to such extent as may be necessary to protect the Contracting Authority
from loss on account of:
(a) Defective work not remedied,
(b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of
claims,.
(c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Sub-
contractor or for material or labor,
(d) Damage to another Contractor,
(e) Incomplete work.
ar.
When the above grounds are removed, payment shall be made for amounts
withheld because of them.
30. SHOP AND ERECTION DRAWINGS:
The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer with triplicate
copies of all shop and erection drawings for approval. These drawings
shall include the drawings prepared on structural and reinforcing steel,
special layout drawings of equipment or machinery purchased under this
Contract, and other -supplementary drawings required in the prosecution
of the work. One copy shall be returned to the Contractor and two
copies retained by the Engineer for field and office reference. The
approval of such drawings by the Engineer does not constitute an
acceptance of responsibility of their accuracy.
31. LABORATORY TESTS:
All material entering into the work is subject to various
tests as may be required by the specifications. The cost of all such
tests shall be the responsibility of the Contractor furnishing such
material.
The Contractor shall also bear the cost of any tests arising
out of his desire to use materials which may be questionable in the
opinion of the Engineer.
32. DRInKING WATER AND SANITARY FACILITIES:
The Contractor shall provide safe drinking water for his
workmen during the construction period. The water shall be delivered
through a spigot, angle jet fountain, or other approved device. Common
drinking cups will be prohibited.
The Contractor shall furnish adequate sanitary facilities
for workmen in the work area during the construction period.
33. CONSTRUCTION SAFETY:
Throughout these specifications, whenever engineering
decisions are to be made to ensure adequate construction in accordance
with the plans and specifications, such inspection and engineering
decisions are not to be construed as supervision of the Contractors'
work force, nor make the Engineer responsible for providing a safe place
for the performance of the work by the Contractor or the Contractors'
employees or those of the suppliers, his subcontractors, nor for access,
visits, use, work, travel, or occupance by any person, -as these responsi-
bilities are covered under the provisions of the contract, the
Contractors insurance and performance bond and cannot be the responsi-
bility of the Engineer.
The above provision does not prevent the Engineer or his
27
personnel from requiring reasonable safety standards, if, in the
course of their technical supervision, it comes to the attention of
the Engineer that reasonable safety standards are not being carried
out.

Part 3 - Execution
Excavation:
Excavation is Classified: The following classifications of excavation
will be made when rock excavation is encountered in work.
Earth Excavation includes excavation of footings, foundations, pave-
ments and other obstructions visible on ground surface; underground
structures, utilities, and other items indicated to be demolished and
removed; together with earth and other materials encountered that are
not classified as rock or unauthorized excavation.
Undercutting to remove topsoil and unsuitable existing soil materials
(silty, softy, wet, or highly plastic soils) is included as work of this
section. The maximum extent of the undercutting shown on the Drawings
and in Division 7, Subsurface Investigation. The minimum undercut for
removal of topsoil or undesirable surface material is 6" below existing
grade, and for unsuitable soil materials is l'0" below existing grade.
Undercut areas for structures, building slabs or pavements shall receive
an engineered (compacted) fill as required to re-establish final sub -
grade elevations.
Rock excavation in footings, trenches and pits includes removal and
disposal -of materials and obstructions encountered which cannot be excavated
with an intermediate duty tire tractor/backhoe equal to a Case 580-D
with a rock bucket. Typical of materials classified as rock are boulder
1/2 cu. yd. or more in volume, solid rock, rock in ledges, and rockhard
cementitious aggregate deposits.
Do not perform rock excavation work until material to be excavated has
been cross -sectioned and classified by Engineer. Such excavation will be
paid on basis of contract conditions relative to changes in work.
EARTHWORK
31
M
Rock Payment lines are limited to the following:
Two feet outside of concrete work for which forms are required,
except footings.
• One foot outside preimeter of footings.
In pipe trenches, 6" below invert elevation of pipe and 2 ft. wider
than inside diameter of pipe.
Neat outside dimensions of concrete work where no forms are required.
Under slabs on grade, 6" below bottom of concrete slab.
Unauthorized excavation consists of removal of materials beyond in-
dicated subgrade elevations or dimensions without specific direction of
Engineer. Unauthorized excavation, as well as remedial work directed by
Engineer shall be at Contractor's expense.
Under footings, foundation bases, or retaining walls, fill unauthor-
ized excavation by extending indicated bottom elevation of footing or
base to excavation, bottom, without altering required top elevation.
Elsewhere, backfill and compact unauthorized excavations as specified
for authorized excavations of same classification.
Additional Excavation: When excavation has reached required subgrade
elevations, notify Engineer.
If unsuitable bearing materials are encountered at required subgrade
elevations, do not proceed further unless directed by Engineer.
Removal of unsuitable material and its replacement as directed will
be paid on basis of contract conditions relative to changes in work.
• Stability of Excavations: Slope sides of excavations to comply with
local codes and ordinances or OSHA standards. Shore and brace where
sloping is not possible. Maintain sides and slopes of excavations in
safe condition until completion of backfilling.
Shoring and Bracing: Provide materials for shoring and bracing, such
as sheet piling, uprights, stringers and cross -braces, in good serviceable
condition, and as required to comply with local codes, or to OSHA Stand-
ards. Maintain shoring and bracing in excavations regardless of time
period excavations will be open.
Dewatering: Prevent surface water and subsurface or ground water
-from flowing into excavations and from flooding project site and surround-
ing area.
Do not allow water to accumulate in excavations. RemoveS water to
• prevent softening of foundation bottoms, undercutting footings, and soil
changes detrimental to stability of subgrades and foundations.
Establish and maintain. temporary drainage ditches and other divers-
ions outside excavation limits to convey rain water and water removed
from excavations to approved run-off areas. Do not use trench excava-
tions as temporary drainage ditches.
EARTHWORK
32
z =Material Storage: Stockpile satisfactory excavated materials where
directed, until required for backfill, fill or topsoil. Place, grade
iand shape stockpiles for proper drainage. Locate' and retain soil mater-
ials away from edge of excavations. Do not store within drip -line of
trees indicated to remain. Dispose of excess soil material and waste
materials.
Excavation for Structures: Conform to elevations and dimensions shown
within a tolerance of plus or minus 0.10", and extending a sufficient
distance from footings and foundations to permit placing and removal of
concrete formwork, installation of services, other construction, and for
inspection. a
In excavating for footings and foundations, take care not to disturb
bottom of excavation. Excavate by hand to final grade just before concrete
reinforcement is placed. Trim bottoms to required lines and grades to
leave solid base to receive other work.
Excavation for Pavements: Cut surface under pavements to comply with
cross -sections, elevations and grades as shown.
Excavation for Trenches: Dig trenches to a uniform width and suffic-
iently wide to provide ample working room (6" to 9" clearance on both sides
of pipe or conduit). Excavate trenches to depth indicated or as required
to establish indicated flow lines and invert elevations.
For pipes, conduit, tanks and other mechanical/electrical work in-
dicated to receive subbase, excavate to subbase depth indicated; If not
indicated excavate to 6" below bottom of work to be supported.
Excavate for exterior water piping (water, steam, condensate, drain-
age) so top of piping is not less than 2'-0" below finished grade.
Cold Weather Protection: Protect excavation, bottoms against freezing.
Compaction:
General: Control soil compaction during construction providing mini-
mum percentage of density specified for each area classification indicated
below.
Percentage of Maximum Density Requirements: Compact to not less than
the following percentages of maximum density for standard proctor AASHTO
T-99 (unless otherwise indicated).
Structures, Building Slabs, Steps, Pavements, Curb and Gutter: Scar-
ify and compact the top 8" of the existing subgrade to 95% of standard
proctor. Compact each layer of backfill or fill material at 95% of stand-
ard proctor unless otherwise directed.
Pavement Base Course: Compact in lifts not to exceed 8" and to 95%
of maximum density (modified proctor - AASHTO T 180).
Walkways: Compact top 6" of subgrade and each layer of backfill or
fill material at 90% of standard proctor.
Lawn or Unpaved Areas: Compact top 6" of subgrade and each layer of
backfill or fill material at 85% of standard proctor.
EARTHWORK
33
Moisture Control: Compact subgrade and fill materials at optimum to
,3% above optimum moisture for that particular soil. Where subgrade or
fill material must be moisture conditioned before compaction, uniformly
apply water to surface of the subgrade or the soil material. Remove and
replace, or scarify and air dry, soil material that is too wet to permit
compaction to specified density.
Backfill and Fill:
General: Place acceptable soil material in layers to required sub -
grade elevations, for each area classification listed below. Thicknesses
shown are minimum requirements.
In Excavations and Undercut Areas: Approved (tested) backfill or fill
materials.
Under Building Slabs: drainage fill material; 4" thick.
Under Pavements:
base course
material; 2"
thick non -compacted for
light duty concrete
parking areas or drives; 6"
thick compacted for heavy
duty concrete or for
ACHM (Asphalt)
pavement.
Under Sidewalks: base course materials or drainage fill, 2" non -
compacted.
Under
Lawn/Topsoil
Areas: use
approved fill materials, thickness
as required
to establish
subgrades
or contours shown.
Under Piping/Conduits: use subbase or base course material; Subbase
depths as shown on the drawings; Back fill (over pipe) 6." thick above top
of pipe.
Backfill Excavations: as promptly as work permits, but not until:
• Acceptance of all construction below grade.
Inspection, testing, approval, and recording locations of all under -

Class of Concrete 28 Day Strength Min. Cement Content
S 4,000 psi 6 sacks/C.Y.
All concrete shall have a slump no greater than 4 inches.
All concrete structures shall have an air entraining admixture
or shall be made using air entrained Portland Cement.
Materials to be used in the project shall be approved by the
Engineer. The Contractor shall furnish samples of the materials
to an approved testing laboratory for testing and recommended
mix design for approval by the Engineer before any concrete is
placed and at 6 -month intervals thereafter, for the duration of
the project.
TESTING
In addition to the testing of the concrete ingredients mentioned
above, tests shall be made of the finished concrete as placed on the pro-
ject. Three concrete cylinders will be made by the Engineer, from each
day's pour. In the event more than 50 cubic yards are poured at one time,
three cylinders shall be made for the first 50 cubic yards and three for
each subsequent 50 cubic yards or increments thereof. From each set of
three cylinders, one shall be tested by a laboratory at seven days and
two at twenty-eight days. The Engineer will also.perform one slump test
and one air test (if required) •for each set of cylinders and place the
cylinders in an approved frost -proof box overnight and deliver them to
the laboratory for testing. The. Owner will bear the cost of testing the
cylinders, slump and air. The Contractor shall bear the .cost for all
tests required to be repeated.
CONCRETE

FOUNDATION EXCAVATION AND FORMS
All foundation excavations and forms which are to receive concrete
shall be in accordance with the plans as to location, line and grade,
and dimensions. All such preparations shall be inspected by the Engineer
prior to the placing of concrete. Foundation excavations shall be true,
free from mud or ice and the pour shall be against firm material. Forms
shall be straight and true to within 1/8" + without indentations, bulges
or other irregularities. Forms shall be faced with masonite or plywood
when the concrete is to be exposed. Chamfer strips shall be used to
provide chamfered corners and. edges on all exposed concrete. Forms shall
be cleaned and oiled prior to each use. Oil shall be a non -staining min-
eral oil.
Forms shall be substantial and sufficiently tight to prevent leakage
of mortar; they shall be properly braced or tied together in such a man-
ner that will maintain their original position and shape under the super-
imposed loads and the fluid pressure of the concrete. If adequate found-
ations for shores cannot be secured, trussed supports shall be provided.
FINISH
Concrete shall be finished within 1/8" + according to the following:
1. Exterior Slabs - Trowelled finish, followed by light, neat brush
strokes.
2. Walls, Piers and Abutments, Inlet Boxes (exposed) - As soon as
possible after pouring, remove forms and rub with brick or caro-
brundum stone to obtain neat, uniform texture and to obliterate
all form marks. The use of mortar with the rubbing will not be
permitted. Rubbing with water will be permissible.
PLACING THE CONCRETE
No concrete shall be poured without the Engineer or his representative
being present. Concrete shall be placed according to the latest revised
edition of ACI 318-77. It shall be so deposited that the mortar and
coarse aggregate are not separated. Dropping the concrete for a height
of 5 feet or more, depositing large quantities at any point and running
or working it along the form or any other practice tending to cause seg-
regation of the ingredients will not be allowed. It shall be compacted
by vibrating, continuous tamping, spading or slicing. Care shall be taken
to fill every part of the forms, to work the coarser aggregate back from
the face, and to force the concrete under and around the reinforcement
without displacing it. Whenever practicable, concrete work shall be de-.
posited continuously for each monolithic section of the work and in all
cases where so directed by the Engineer. All floors and small dimension
work shall be placed full thickness. Mass concrete shall be placed in
• continuous horizontal layers. No concrete shall be placed under water
• unless approval of the Engineer is obtained previous to commencement of
pouring concrete. When depositing in water is allowed, the concrete shall
be carefully placed in the space in which it is to remain in a compact
mass by means of a tremie, bottom dumping bucket or other approved method
that does not permit the concrete to fall through the water without ad-
equate protection. Concrete shall be placed under water only in forms
which are reasonably watertight and shall not be disturbed after being
deposited.

' CURING OF CONCRETE
Concrete not protected by form work shall be cured by covering with
burlap, sand, earth or with suitable curing material approved by the
Engineer, •or by ponding. Regardless of the form of curing used, the
covering shall be placed as soon as practicable after the concrete has
obtained its final set. The curing will cover a seven day period dating
from the time the concrete is deposited and the covering shall be kept
saturated throughout the entire period. Normal curing operations may be
dispensed with during periods when the air temperature falls below 45°F,
and cold weather concreting curing provisions shall be initiated.
COLD WEATHER CONCRETING
Concreting operations will not be permitted when a descending air
temperature' falls below 40°F, nor resumed until an ascending air temper-
ature reaches 35°F, without specific authority from the Engineer.
When operations are authorized under such conditions, or when it is
anticipated that the air temperature will fall below 40°F before the con-
crete has taken its final set, the Contractor shall furnish sufficient
canvas and framework, or other type of housing_to enclose and protect the
structure in such a way that the air surrounding the fresh concrete can
be kept at a temperature of not less than 40°F and not more than 85°F for
a period of at least five days after the concrete is placed. Humidity
shall be controlled within the housing to preclude premature drying of the
concrete.
• Sufficient heating apparatus such as stoves, salamanders, or steam
equipment, and fuel to furnish the required heat, shall be supplied.
"Spot" heating will not be permitted. All water used for mixing concrete
shall be heated to a temperature of at least 70°F, but not over 150°F.
Aggregate shall be heated either by steam or dry heat, to a temperature
of at least 70°F, but not over 150°F. The heating apparatus shall be
• such as to heat the mass uniformly and preclude the possibility of the
occurrence of hot spots which will burn the material. The temperature
of the mixed concrete shall not be less than 60°F when placed in the forms.
As a means of accelerating the final set and subsequent curing of concrete
not to contain water, from one and one-half to two pounds of calcium
chloride per sack of cement used per batch may be incorporated in the
concrete mixture. The use of calcium chloride as an accelerator will
be permitted only when such use is specifically approved by the Engineer.
EXPANSION JOINTS
Expansion joints shall be placed at points indicated'on the Plans.
Unless shown, reinforcement steel shall not extend across an expansion
joint. The break between two adjacent sections shall be complete.
Exposed edges of expansion joints shall be rounded. Expansion joints
shall be filled with an elastic "build up" type joint filler.
Build up expansion joint filler shall consist of an elastic struc-
ture enclosed by outside layers of felt impregnated with asphalt. The
complete filler shall not be less than one-half (½) inch in thickness.
All built up joint filler shall have concrete poured directly against
both faces, and shall be installed in accordance with the Plans or the
Engineer's instructions. Where joint filler is placed against hardened
CONCRETE
39
;
• concrete, the concrete surface shall be primed with asphalt primer and
then mopped with a heavy coat of hot roofing asphalt. The joint filler
shall then be firmly pressed into the hot asphalt, so that it becomes
firmly cemented thereto. Concrete shall then be poured directly against
the filler.
WATERSTOPS
Waterstops shall be installed where indicated by the Plans. The.
waterstop material shall be copper, neoprene rubber or PVC as specified
in the Detailed Specifications or Plans.
READY -MIX CONCRETE
Ready -mix concrete shall be understood to mean any concrete which
is proportioned and mixed in a central plant and hauled to the work in
agitator trucks of approved type, or in non -agitating euqipment when
approved by the Engineer; or concrete which is proportioned in a central
plant and mixed in approved transit mix trucks enroute to the site of
the work; or mixed completely in a truck mixer at the point of delivery
following the addition of mixing water.
Mixer may be stationary mixers or truck mixers. Agitators may be
truck mixers or truck agitators. Each mixer and agitator shall have
attached thereto, in a prominent place, a metal plate on which is plainly
marked for the various uses for which the equipment is designed, the
capacity of the drum container in terms of volume of mixed concrete and
the speed of rotation of the mixing drum and blades.
The truck mixer, when loaded to manufacturer's rated capacity, which
shall not exceed 57-1/2 percent of the volume of the drum of the mixer,
shall be capable of combining the ingredients of the concrete within the
specified time into a thoroughly mixed and uniform mass and of discharg-
ing the concrete with a satisfactory degree of authority.
The agitator, when loaded to manufacturer's rated capacity, which
shall not exceed 80 percent of the volume ofthe drum and of the agitator,
• shall be capable of maintaining the mixed concrete in a thoroughly mixed
• and uniform mass and of discharging the concrete with a satisfactory de-
gree of uniformity.
Mixers and agitators shall be operated within the limits of capacity
and speed of rotation designed by the manufacturer of the equipment.
Units designated as agitators shall not be used in connection with truck
mixing.
When a truck mixer is used for complete mixing, each batch of con-
crete shall be mixed not less than 7Q. nor more than 100 revolutions of
the drum or blades at the rate of rotation designated by the manufacturer
of the equipment as mixing speed. Additional mixing, if any, shall be
at the speed designated by the manufacturer of the equipment as agitating
speed.
When a truck mixer is used for transporting concrete which has been
completely mixed in a stationary mixer, mixing during transportation
shall be at the speed designated by the manufacturer of the equipment as
agitation speed, and the volume of the batch shall not exceed 80 percent
of the gross drum volume.
CONCRETE
40
Concrete shall be delivered to the site of the work and discharged
from the truck mixer or agitator into the forms complete within 1-1/2
hours after the introduction of the mixing water to the cement and aggre-
gates except that in hot weather, or under other conditions contributing
to quick stiffening of the concrete, the maximum allowable time may be
reduced by the Engineer. Each batch shall be accompanied by a load ticket
• with a copy for the inspector showing the concrete type, mixing proportions,
and time mixing began.
Slump tests shall be made from time to time of individual samples
taken at the beginning, midpoint and end of the load. If these slumps
vary by more than the tolerances specified the mixer•or agitator shall
not be used unless the condition is corrected. When the specified slump
is 3 inches or less, the tolerance shall be plus or minus 1/2 inch.
When the specified slump is greather than 3 inches, the tolerance shall
be plus or minus 1 inch.
Mixers and agitators shall be examined daily for changes in condition
due to the accumulation of hard concrete or mortar or wear of blades.
The pickup and throw -over blades shall be replaced when any part or sec-
tion is worn one (1) inch or more below the original height of the manu-
facturer's design.A copy of the manufacturer's design, showing dimensions
and arrangement of blades shall be available at all times.
The concrete when discharged shall be of the consistency and work-
ability required for the job without the use of additional mixing water.
The rate of discharge shall be controlled by the speed of rotation of
drums in the discharge direction with the discharge gate fully open.
When approved in writing by the Engineer, central -mixed concrete
which is designed for the purpose may be transported in approved non -
agitating equipment. Bodies of this equipment shall be smooth, water-
tight, metal containers, equipped with gates that will permit control of
the discharge of the concrete. Covers shall be provided for protection
against the weather. The concrete shall be delivered to the site of the
work in a thoroughly mixed and uniform mass and discharged with a satis-
factory degree of uniformity. Placement in forms shall be completed
within 30 minutes after introduction of the mixing water to the cement
and aggregates.
If the concrete furnished shows erratic behavior under the field
conditions, or in regard to strength of the finished product as shown by
beams or cylinder tests or in the time of initial or final set, the
Contractor will, at once, without notice from the Engineer, cease the use
of ready -mixed concrete until such corrections in procedure are made as
to ensure work of a quality satisfactory to the Engineer.
The organization supplying concrete shall have sufficient plant
capacity and transporting apparatus to ensure continuous delivery at the
rate required. The rate of delivery of concrete during concreting
operations shall be such as to provide for the proper handling, placing
and finishing of the concrete. The rates shall be such that the interval
between batches shall not exceed 20 minutes. The methods of delivering
and handling the concrete shall be such as will facilitate placing
with the minimum of rehandling and without damage to the structure of
the concrete.
CONCRETE
'e
EXEf'JSION OF CONTACT WITH ALUMINUM
Due to the adverse effect of exposing concrete to direct contact
with aluminum products, concrete truck chutes, pipes, finishing tools,
etc. shall not be constructed of aluminum. Furthermore, permanent items
of construction (i.e., anchor frames, wires, grating, etc.) made from
aluminum shall be isolated from finished concrete through the use of
bitumastic or gasket material.
HOT WEATHER CONCRETING
Concreting operations will not be permitted when an ascending air
temperature rises above 100°F, nor resumed until a descending temperature
reached 95°F, without specific authority from the Engineer.
When operations are authorized under such conditions, or when it is
anticipated that the air temperature will rise above 95°F before the con-
crete has taken its final set, the Contractor shall make whatever pro-
visions are necessary to insure that the relative humidity immediately
adjacent to the concrete surface(s) does not fall below the following
prescribed values for a period of at least five days after the concrete
is placed (approved "curing compounds" or "sealers" will satisfy this
requirement):

During hot weather, the temperature of the mixing water may be
decreased 50 45°F; however, ice shall not be directly added to the con-
crete mix.
REPAIRING/REPLACING DEFECTIVE CONCRETE
• All concrete which, upon removal of the forms, is found to be porous
or "honey -combed" shall be immediately cut out and removed entirely from
the body of the concrete. The parts removed shall extend not less than
one inch (1") back of the reinforcement steel where such steel is present
in the concrete face which is being repaired, removing sound concrete,
if necessary, to obtain this depth. If reinforcement steel is not pre-
sent, thepartsremoved shall extend into the concrete not less than
three inches (3") and the opening dovetailed in such a manner that the
new concrete filling will be securely anchored. In replacing concrete
so removed, forms shall be built with a spout or hopper outside the con-
crete surface, which shall be filled with fresh concrete to a point not
less than twelve inches (12") above the top of the hole caused by re-
moving the porous concrete.
CONCRETE
42
The fresh concrete shall be properly bonded to the old concrete sur-
�' faces+, as hereinbefore specified, and shall be well puddled. The hopper
shall be removed after the concrete has hardened and within twenty-four
hours after the concrete is placed, the excess concrete carefully cut away,
and the surface pointed and rubbed smooth.
Concrete already in place which is suspected of being defective (be-
cause of "low breaks" on cylinder testing) shall be core -drilled at the
Engineer's direction and at the Contractor's expense. Should compressive
testing of, the cored sample verify that the concrete is defective, then
the Engineer may direct the Contractor to remove defective portions and
replace them with satisfactory material, all at the Contractor's expense.
The Contractor may, at his own expense, have portions of the suspected
defective material cored and tested in order to reduce the expense on his
part. To accomplish this, he must core and test at least three samples
for each 200 square feet of exposed surface area. Results must indicate
that all of three of the samples meet, or exceed, the required strength
specifications.
REMOVAL OF FORMS AND BACKFILLING
Forms shall not be disturbed until the concrete has adequately hard-
ened. Shoring shall not be removed until the member has acquired suffic-
ient strength to support its weight and the load upon it. Members sub-
ject to additional loads during construction shall be adequately shored
to support both the member and construction loads in such a manner as
will protect the member from damage by the loads; this shoring shall not
be removed until the member has acquired sufficient strength to support
safely its weight and the load upon it. The following table gives the
minimum time which shall elapse between the time of placing the concrete
and the removal of forms at various average temperatures.
