)No extra work shall be performed or change made unless in the pur-
suance of a written order from the District stating that the extra
work or change is authorized, and setting forth the basis upon which
payment therefor is to be made, and no claim for an addition to the
contract sum shall be valid unless so ordered, provided, however, that
nothing in this article shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding
with the prosecution of the work so changed. The Contractor shall,
when required by the District, furnish an itemized breakdown of the
quantities and prices used in computing the value of any change that
might be ordered.
(c) Removal of Obstructions: The Contractor shall remove and dispose of all
structures, debris or other obstructions of any character to the construction

law to be removed by the owner thereof, all such improvements shall be re-
moved, maintained and permanently replaced by the Contractor at his expense.
(d) Public Utilities: In case it should be necessary to move the property
of any owner of a public utility or franchise, the cost of which, because
of the terms of any franchise or for any other reason, must be borne by the
Standard Provisions - 2
owner thereof, such owner shall upon proper application by the Contractor be
notified by the District's Representative to move such property within a
specified reasonable time, and the Contractor shall not interfere with said
property until after the expiration of the time specified.
In case it should be necessary to move or temporarily maintain the property
of any public utility or any other property, the cost of which is not required
to be borne by the owner thereof, the Contractor shall bear all expenses inci-
dental to the removal or temporary maintenance of such property in a manner
satisfactory to the owner thereof; it being understood that in such cases the
owner has the option of doing such work with his own forces, or permitting the
work to be done by the Contractor.
The right is reserved to the State, County or District and to owners of public
utilities and franchises to enter at any time upon any street, alley, right of

SECTION III - CONTROL OF THE WORK
(a) Authority of the District's Representative: The District's Representative
shall have general supervision and direction of the work and may be represented
on the work by duly authorized assistants. The District's Representative shall
decide any and all questions which may arise as to the quality or acceptability
of materials furnished and work performed, and as to the manner of performance
and rate of progress of the work, all questions as to the interpretation of the
Plans and Specifications and all questions as to the acceptable fulfillment of
the Contract on the part of the Contractor.
(b) Plans: The approved Plans shall be supplemented by such working drawings
as are necessary to control the work adequately. All such drawings shall be
consistent with the contract documents, true developments thereof, and reason-
ably inferable therefrom. All such drawings delivered to the Contractor shall
be deemed written instructions to the Contractor.
The District will ,furnish to the Contractor, free of charge, all copies of
drawings and Specifications reasonably necessary for the execution of the
work. The Contractor shall keep one set of drawings and Specifications in
good order available to the District's Representative and to his representatives
at the site of the work.
The Plans for the work shall show conditions as they are supposed or believed
by the Engineer to exist; but it is not intended or to be inferred that the
conditions as shown thereon constitute a representation by the District or its
officers that such conditions are actually existent nor shall the District,
any of its officers, or the Engineer be liable for any loss sustained by the
Standard Provisions - 3
Contractor as a result of any variance of the conditions as shown on the Plans
and the actual conditions revealed during the progress of the work, or otherwise.
(c) Conformity with Plans and Allowable Deviations: Finished surfaces in all
cases shall conform with the lines, elevations, grades, cross sections, and
dimensions shown on the approved Plans, or if no specific elevations are shown
on the Plans, the elevations and grades furnished by the District's Representa-
tive shall govern.
(d) Coordination of Plans and Specifications; Should it appear that the work
to be done or any of the matters relative thereto are not sufficiently detailed
or explained in the Specifications or on the Plans, the Contractor shall apply
to the District's Representative for such further explanations as may be neces-
sary and shall conform to them as part of the Contract, so far as may be con-
sistent with the original Specifications; and in the event of any doubt or
question arising respecting the true meaning of the Specifications, reference
shall be made to the District's Representative, whose decision thereon shall be
final.
In the event of any discrepancy between any drawing and the figures written
thereon, the figures shall be taken as correct.
(e) Supervision by the Contractor: The Contractor shall give efficient super-
vision to the work, using his best skill and attention. Unless personally present
on the premises where the work is done, the Contractor shall designate and keep an
agent or representative on the work at all times during its progress, and any
written or verbal directions or requests of the District's Representative delivered
to such representative shall have the same force and effect as if delivered to the
Contractor personally.
(f) Reference Points; The Engineer shall establish all reference points and sur-
vey all lines and grades necessary for the execution of the work. The Contractor
shall carefully preserve all reference points, bench marks and other survey points
and, in case of willful or careless destruction, he shall be liable for and charged
with the cost of their replacement, and of any expense resulting from their unnec-
essary loss or disturbance. Such surveys shall constitute instructions from the
Engineer, and the Contractor shall not proceed with the work until he has made
timely demand upon the Engineer for such surveys, and until all necessary points,
lines and grades have been established.
(g) Inspection; The District's Representative shall at all times have access to
the work during construction and shall be furnished with every reasonable facility
for ascertaining full knowledge respecting the progress, workmanship and character
of materials used and employed in the work.
Whenever the Contractor varies the period during which work Is carried on each
day, he shall give due notice to the District's Representative so that proper
inspection may be provided. Any work done in the absence of the District's
Representative will be subject to rejection.
No materials shall be installed until approved by the District's Representative
or his representative. All installations which are to be backfilled shall be
inspected and approved by the District's Representative prior to backfilling
and the Contractor shall give due notice in advance of backfilling to the District's
Representative so that proper Inspection may be provided.
Standard Provisions - 4
The inspection of the work shall not relieve the Contractor of any of his
obligations to fulfill the Contract as prescribed. Defective work shall be
made good, and unsuitable materials may be rejected notwithstanding the fact
that such defective work and unsuitable materials have, been previously over-
looked by the District's Representative and accepted.
(h) Removal of Defective and Unauthorized Work: All work which has been re-
jected shall be remedied, or removed and replaced by the Contractor in an
acceptable manner and no compensation will be allowed him for such removal
or replacement. Any work done beyond the lines and grades shown on the Plans
or established by the District's Representative, or any extra work done with-
out written authority, will be considered as unauthorized and will not be paid
for. Work so done may be ordered removed at the Contractor's expense. Upon
failure on the part of the Contractor to comply promptly with any order of the
District's Representative made under the provisions of this Article, the Dis-
trict's Representative shall have authority to cause defective work to be re-
medied or removed and replaced, and unauthorized work to be removed, and to
deduct the costs from any monies due or to become due the Contractor.
(i) Temporary Suspension of Work: The District's Representative shall have
the authority to suspend the work wholly or in part for such time as he may
deem necessary due to the failure on the part of the Contractor to carry out
orders given, or to perform any provisions of the Contract. The Contractor
shall immediately comply with the written order of the District's Representative
to suspend the work wholly or in part. The work shall be resumed when methods
or defective work are corrected as ordered or approved in writing by the Dis-
trict's Representative.
In the event that a suspension of work is ordered as provided above, such sus-
pension of work shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to com-
plete the work within the time limit set forth in the Special Provisions, and
shall not be considered cause for extension of the time for completion, and
further, such suspension of work shall not entitle the Contractor to any addi-
tional compensation.
(J) Errors or Discrepancies Noted by Contractor: If the Contractor, either
before commencing work or in the course of the work, finds any discrepancy be-
tween the Specifications and the drawings, or between either and the physical
conditions at the site of the work, or finds any error or omission in any of
the drawings or in any survey, he shall promptly notify the District's Repre-
sentative in writing of such discrepancy, error or omission. If the Contractor
observes that any drawings or Specifications are at variance with any applicable
law, ordinance, regulation, order or decree, he shall promptly notify the Dis-
trict's Representative in writing of such conflict.
The District's Representative, on receipt of any such notice, shall promptly
investigate the circumstances and give appropriate instructions to the Con-
tractor. Until such instructions are given, any work done by the Contractor,
either directly or indirectly after his discovery of such error, discrepancy
or conflict, will be at his own risk and he shall bear all costs rising there-
from .
Standard Provisions - 5
(k) Equipment: The Contractor must furnish adequate equipment to perform
properly the work in a workmanlike manner in accordance with these Specifica-
tions. Such equipment must be in a good state of repair and maintained in such
state during the progress of the work. No worn or obsolete equipment shall be
used, and in no case shall the maker's rating of capacity for any equipment be
exceeded.
(1) Shop Drawings: The Contractor shall at his own expense furnish for the
approval of the Engineer shop drawings for all material and equipment he pro-
poses to use. These shop drawings shall be checked by the Engineer and re-
turned to the Contractor within five (5) working days of their receipt by the
Engineer. All shop drawings shall be submitted in quadruplicate, accompanied
by a letter of transmittal, and shall be addressed to the Engineer for approval.
The letter of transmittal, shall give a list of the numbers of the drawings sub-
mitted. All drawings must be marked with the name of the project and the name
of the Contractor and be numberad consecutively. All drawings must be complete
in every respect.
The Contractor shall make such corrections as shall be required by the Engineer
and receive the Engineer's stamp of approval before commencing the work involved.
If the shop drawings show variations from the Contract requirements because of
standard shop practices or other reasons, the Contractor shall make specific
mention of such variations in his letter of transmittal in order that (if accep-
table) suitable action may be taken for proper adjustment of the Contract; other-
wise, the Contractor will not be relieved of the responsibility for executing
the work in accordance with the Contract, even though the shop drawings have
been approved. Approval of shop drawings will be general and shall not relieve
the Contractor from the responsibility for proper fitting and construction of the
work, nor from furnishing the material and work required by the Contract which
may not be indicated in the shop drawings when approved; neither does it relieve
him from responsibility for errors in shop drawings.
SECTION IV - CONTROL OP MATERIAL
(a) Quality of Materials: All equipment, materials and supplies to be incor-
porated in the work shall be new unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise
specifically provided for in the Specifications, all workmanship, equipment,
material and articles incorporated in the work covered by the Contract are to
be of the best available grade of their respective kind. Whenever in the Spec-
ifications any material, process or article is indicated or specified by grade,
patent or proprietary name, or by name of manufacturer, such specification shall
be deemed to be used for the purpose of facilitating description of the materials,
process or articles desired, and shall be deemed to be followed by the words "or >"
equal", and the Contractor may offer any material or process which shall be sub*
stantially equal or better in every respect to that so indicated or specified;
provided, however, that if the material, process or article offered by the Con-
tractor is not, in the opinion of the Engineer and/or District's Representative,
substantially equal or better in every respect to that specified, then the Con-
tractor must furnish the material, process or article specified or one that in
the opinion of the Engineer and/or District's Representative is the substantial
equal or better thereof in every respect. In the event that the Contractor fur-
nishes the material, process or article better than the specified, the difference
in cost of such material, process or article so furnished shall be borne by the
Contractor.
Standard Provisions - 6
(b) Samples and Tests: At the option of the District's Representative the
source of supply of each of the materials shall be approved by the District's
Representative before delivery is started and before such material is used in
the work. Representative preliminary samples of the character and quality
prescribed shall be submitted by the Contractor or producer of all materials
to be used in the work for testing or examination as desired by the District's
Representative. All tests of materials furnished by the Contractor shall be
made in accordance with commonly recognized standards of national organizations
and such special methods and tests as are prescribed in the Specifications. The
Contractor shall furnish such samples of materials as are requested by the Dis-
trict's Representative without charge. No material shall be used until it has
been approved by the District's Representative. Samples will be secured and
tested whenever necessary to determine the quality of material.

of the Specifications shall be considered as defective and all such materials,
whether in place or not, shall be rejected and shall be removed immediately

sentative. No rejected material, the defects of which have been subsequently
corrected shall be used until approved in writing by the District's Representa-

the District's Representative made under the provisions of this article, the
District shall have authority to remove and replace defective material at the
expense of the Contractor.

stored, at the Contractor's expense, to a condition as good as when the Con-
tractor entered upon the work, or as good as required by the Specifications,
if any such objects are a part of the work being performed.
The fact that any such pipe or other underground facility is not shown on
the Plans shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility under this
article. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to ascertain the exist-
ence of any underground improvements or facilities which may be subject to
damage by reason of his operations.
(g) Responsibility for Damage: The District, the Board of Directors, the
Engineer or their authorized assistants shall not be answerable or accountable

trict in the prosecution of the project, to the end that the Contractor may
perform this Contract in the light of such other contracts, if any.
Standard Provisions - 10
Nothing herein contained shall be interpreted as granting to the Contractor
exclusive occupancy of the site of the project. The Contractor shall not
cause any unnecessary hindrance or delay to any other contractor working on
the project. If the performance of any Contract for the project is likely
to be interfered with by the simultaneous performance of some other contract
or contracts, the District, through its representative, shall decide which
contractor shall cease work temporarily and which contractor shall continue,
or whether the work under the contracts can be coordinated so that the con-
tractors may proceed simultaneously. On all questions concerning conflicting
interests of contractors performing related work, the decision of said Dis-
trict's Representative shall be binding upon all contractors concerned and
the District shall not be responsible for any damages suffered or extra costs
incurred by the Contractor resulting directly or indirectly from the award of
performance or attempted performance of any other contract or contracts on

a sealed envelope addressed to the District, to the attention of said Sec-
retary, postage prepaid and registered.

sealed envelope addressed to said Contractor at his regular place of business
or such other address as may have been established for the conduct of the work
under this Contract, postage prepaid and registered.
(1) Warranty of Title: No materials, supplies or equipment for the work
under this Contract shall be purchased subject to any chattel mortgage or
under a conditional sale contract or other agreement by which an interest
therein or any part thereof is retained by the seller or supplier. The Con-
tractor warrants clear and good title to all materials, supplies and equip-
ment installed and incorporated in the work, and agrees upon completion of
all work to deliver the premises, together with all improvements and appur-
tenances constructed or placed thereon by him to the District free from any
claims, liens, encumbrances, or charges, and further agrees that neither he
nor any person, firm or corporation furnishing any material or labor for any
work covered by the Contract shall have any right to a lien upon the premises
or any improvement or appurtenance thereon, provided that this shall not pre-
clude the Contractor from installing metering devices or other equipment of
utility companies or of municipalities, the title of which is commonly retained
by the utility company or the municipality. Nothing contained in this article,
however, shall defeat or impair the right of such persons furnishing materials
or labor under any bond given by the Contractor for their protection, or any
right under any law permitting such persons to look to funds due the Contrac-
tor, in the hands of the District. The provisions of this article shall be
Standard Provisions - 11
inserted in all subcontracts and material contracts, and notices of its pro-
visions shall be given to all persons furnishing materials for the work when
no formal contract is entered into for such materials.
(m) Termination for Breach; If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute
the work or any separable part thereof with such diligence as will insure its
completion within the time specified herein, or any extension thereof, or fails
to complete such work within such time, or the Contractor should be adjudged
a bankrupt, or if he should make a general assignment for the benefit of his
creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed on account of his insolvency,
or if he or any of his subcontractors should violate any of the provisions of
this Contract, the District may serve written notice upon the Contractor and
his surety of its intention to terminate this Contract, said notice to contain
the reasons for such intention to terminate this Contract; and unless within
ten (10) days after the service of such notice such violations shall cease and
satisfactory arrangements for the corrections thereof be made, this Contract
shall, upon the expiration of said ten (10) days, cease and terminate.
In the event of any such termination, the District shall immediately serve
written notice thereof upon the surety and the Contractor, and the surety shall
have the right to take over and perform the Contractor; provided, however, that
if the surety within fifteen (15) days after the serving upon it of a notice
of termination does not give the District written notice of its intention to
take over and perform the Contract, the District may take over the work and
prosecute the same to completion by contract or by any other method it may deem
advisable for the account and at the expense of the Contractor, and his surety
shall be liable to the District for any excess cost or other damage occasioned
the District thereby; and in such event, the District may, without liability
for so doing, take possession of and utilize in completing the work such
materials, appliances, plants and other property belonging to the Contractor
that may be on the site of the work and be necessary therefor.
The foregoing provisions are in addition to and not in limitation of any other
rights or remedies available to the District.
(n) Prohibitive Interests; No officer of the District who is authorized in
such capacity and on behalf of the District to negotiate, make, accept, or
approve, or to take part in negotiating, making, accepting or approving any
architectural, engineering, inspection, construction or material supply contract
or any subcontract in connection with the construction of the project, shall be-
come directly or indirectly interested personally in this Contract or any part
thereof. No officer, employee, architect, attorney, engineer or inspector of
or for the District who is authorized in such capacity and on behalf of the
District to exercise any executive, supervisory or other similar function in
connection with the construction of the project, shall become directly or
indirectly interested personally in this Contract or any part thereof.
Standard Provisions - 12
SECTION VI - PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
(a) Subcontracting: Specialty subcontractors shall be utilized for the
performance of such part of the work under this Contract as under normal
contract practices are performed by specialty subcontractors, unless the
District determines that the general Contractor has heretofore customarily
performed such specialty work with his own organization and is equipped to
do so, or unless the District determines that the performance of specialty
work by specialty contractors will result in increased cost or inordinate
delays, provided, however, that the Contractor shall not subcontract any
work to be performed or any materials to be furnished in the performance
of this Contract without the prior written consent of the District. If the
Contractor shall subcontract any part of this Contract, the Contractor shall
be as fully responsible to the District for the acts and omissions of his
subcontractor and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by
his subcontractor as he is for the acts and omissions of persons directly
employed by himself. Nothing contained in the contract documents shall
create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor and the Dis-
trict. The Contractor shall bind every subcontractor (and every subcon-
tractor of a subcontractor) to be bound by the terms of the contract docu-
ments as applicable to his work, unless specifically noted to the contrary
in the subcontract in question, approved in writing as satisfactory to the
District.
(b) Assignment of Contract: The Contractor shall not assign this Contract
or any part thereof nor any monies due or to become due thereunder, without
the prior written consent of the District. No assignment of this Contract
shall be valid unless it shall contain a provision that the funds to be paid
to the assignee under the assignment are subject to a prior lien for services
rendered or materials supplied for performance of the work called for under
said Contract in favor of all persons, firms or corporations rendering such

at optimum moisture content as determined by AASHO Test No. T99~^9 Modified
(5 layers - 25 blows per layer - 10 Ib. hammer - 18-inch drop - 4-inch diameter -
1/30 cubic foot cylindrical mold.)
A-^5. Safety Precautions shall be adopted in all phases of the work. Included shall
be trench shoring, bracing, lighting, and barricades as dictated by reason and by
the Safety Orders of the Division of Industrial Safety, State of California.
A-6. Existing Obstructions and underground improvements may or may not be shown
on the Plans. Reasonable precautions shall be taken to preserve and protect such
items. Any damage to existing underground facilities shall be repaired to the
satisfaction of its owner and the District's Representative at the Contractor's
expense. Any discovered conflict in location with the water main being constructed
and an existing facility not shown on the Plans shall be immediately reported to
the District's Representative.
Materials and Workmanship
B-l. Clearing and Grubbing; All brush, roots, vegetation, rubbish, debris, and
other objectionable material shall be removed and disposed of so as to leave the
construction site clean and neat. Any soft, swampy, flooded, or otherwise unsuit-
able areas shall be corrected by removal or drainage, or both.
B-2. Trench Excavation for pipelines, fittings, valves, and appurtenances shall
be as follows:
Minimum Width for trenches shall be;
Nominal Inside Pipe Diameter Trench Width
U" through 12"Outside diameter plus 12"
lU" through 27" Outside diameter plus l6"
Where shoring or encasement is required, trench widths shall be increased accor-
dingly.
Trench Depth shall be adequate to accommodate the pipe and its foundation at the
profile shown on the Plans. In the absence of such profile grade, the top of
pipe grade shall be located 3 feet below the centerline street grade or 2-1/2 feet
below existing ground, whichever is lower.
Pipe Subgrade at the trench bottom shall have a semi-circular cross section and
shall conform to the pipe bottom profile. Pipe subgrade shall have a density of
at least 85 percent relative compaction.
Earthwork (Water Mains) - 1
Foundations in Poor Soil shall be constructed by removing all deleterious materials
below pipe bottom grade to a depth determined by the District's Representative.
The void shall then be backfilled with sound materials to grade and cross section.
The replacement of unsound materials to depths of 2 feet below bottom of pipe grade
shall be considered part of the work. Replacement of materials greater than 2 feet
of depth will be paid for as extra work.
Foundations in Rock shall be constructed by removing rock and backfilling with
approved materials. Depth of removal shall be sufficient to provide 1/2-inch per
inch of nominal pipe diameter, but not less than 6 inches.
Correction of Faulty Grades; All excavations carried below grade shall be back-
filled to proper grade and cross section.
B-3. Trench Backfill; All trenches shall be backfilled as follows:
Pipe Zone shall be considered to extend from the lowest limit of the trench excav-
ation to 6 inches above the top of steel pipe and to 12 inches above the top of
asbestos-cement pipe.
Procedure in Pipe Zone; Selected backfill material consisting of sand or loose
earth, free from stones, clods, or other deleterious material shall be placed in
the trench in uniform layers not exceeding 6 inches in thickness. Around the pipe,
each layer shall be placed simultaneously on each side for the full width of the
trench. Particular attention is to be given to the underside of the pipe and fittings
to provide a firm support along the full length of the pipe. Care shall be exercised
in backfilling to avoid damage to the pipe covering.
Procedure Above Pipe Zone; Prom the top of the pipe zone to ground surface, back-
fill may contain stones up to 8 inches in diameter uniformly distributed in the finer
materials but not to exceed 40 percent by volume of the total backfill material in
this zone.
Densifieation; Except as otherwise provided, all backfill shall be thoroughly com-
pacted to a density of at least 85 percent relative compaction by tamping or water
settling. The Contractor's attention is directed to the paragraph herein on Earth-
work and Repairs in County and State Rights of Way.
Tamping Method; Backfill material shall be placed in uniform layers not exceeding
6 inches in thickness. The moisture content of the backfill material shall be near
or at the optimum required for compaction and each layer shall be tamped until com-
pacted to the required minimum relative density. Heavy duty compacting equipment
having an overall weight in excess of 125 pounds shall not be used until backfill
has been completed to a depth of 2 feet over top of pipe.
Water Settling Method; This method shall not be used when, in the opinion of the
District's Representative, the backfill material is not sufficiently granular to
consolidate properly or adjacent materials may be damaged or will not dissipate
excess water. In the pipe zone, backfill material shall be placed as specified in
the paragraph on Procedure in Pipe Zone. Following filling of the pipe zone, the
trench shall be diked at suitable intervals depending upon slope, and the trench
between dikes shall be filled and maintained with sufficient water so that backfill
materials subsequently placed will be inundated during and following placement.
The water level shall be controlled to prevent floating of the pipe. Backfill
materials above the pipe zone shall be placed in the water filled trench in uniform
layers not exceeding 18 inches in thickness.
Excess Excavated Material; The Contractor shall make the necessary arrangements
for and shall remove and dispose of all excess excavated material. In open terrain,
surplus material may be disposed of within the right of way by spreading, provided
that rocks or lumps which cannot be readily covered by spreading are removed.
Imported Backfill Material; Whenever the excavated material is not suitable for
backfill, the Contractor shall arrange for and furnish approved imported backfill
material at his expense.
Earthwork (Water Mains) - 2
Final Cleanup; After backfill has been completed, the right of way shall be dressed
smooth and left in a neat and presentable condition, free of all construction wastes.
On slopes where, in the opinion of the District's Representative, rainfall runoff
would create an erosion problem, the Contractor shall excavate at approximately 100-
foot intervals V-type interception ditches to collect and carry runoff to the low
side of the right of way. The interception ditches shall be approximately 1-foot
deep and shall be skewed approximately ^5 degrees with the centerline of the right
of way.
Payment
C-l. Payment for earthwork and for conforming to all the provisions included herein
shall be considered to be included in the contract unit prices or lump sum price
paid for the various items of work.

PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE
A. General: The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, tools and
equipment for the construction of plain and reinforced concrete as shown
on the plans and herein specified.
B. Materials and Workmanship:
B-l. Cement; Cement shall be Portland cement Type II.
B-2. Aggregate: All aggregates used in grout, mortar, and in concrete
shall conform to the provisions of Section 26 of the Standard Specifi-
cations of the California Division of Highways dated August, 195^. The
maximum nominal size of coarse aggregate shall be one and one-half inch
(1-1/2").
6-3. Water; The water used shall be of potable quality.
B-4. Admixtures: Admixtures to prevent segregation and to improve work-
ability or to accelerate the setting of the concrete will be per-
mitted provided the admixture proposed shall first .be approved in
writing by the Engineer and the proportions of the admixture to be
used shall be fixed by Engineer.
B-5' Strength Requirements: All concrete shall be proportioned to attain
a minimum cylinder strength of 3>000 P^i in twenty-eight (28) days.
The compressive strengths are to be determined in accordance with
ASTM C39• Not less than six sacks of cement shall be used per cubic
yard.
B-6. Proportioning: The exact proportions of the concrete ingredients
shall be established by a material testing laboratory selected by the
Engineer. The contractor shall notify the Engineer of his proposed
source of aggregate in sufficient advance time to permit the design
of the mix.
B-7. Mixing: The cement, sand and coarse aggregates shall be so mixed
and the quantity of water added shall be such as to produce a homog-
eneous mass of uniform consistency. Each mixer used shall be of the
batch type and be of a design to insure uniform distribution of all
the materials throughout the mass during the mixing operation, when
operated at the speed and capacity recommended by the manufacturer and
the mixer shall be so operated. Each mixer shall be so constructed
that the Engineer can conveniently observe the consistency and uni-
formity of the concrete in the mixer during the operation.
Portland Cement Concrete Standards - 1
Only sufficient water shall be used in mixing any class of concrete
to produce a workable mass suitable for the particular type of con-
struction involved. Water shall be added prior to or during the
mixer charging operation. The mixing of each batch after all materials
have been placed in the mixer shall continue for not less than ninety
(90) seconds for a stationary mixer smaller than two (2) cubic yards
in capacity and for not less than two (2) minutes for a larger stationary
mixer.
If transit mix concrete is used, the mixing time shall not be less than
three (3) minutes for each cubic yard of capacity. The mixture shall
be continuously agitated until all of the concrete has been discharged
from the mixer drum. The total elapsed time between the introduction
of water to the batch and depositing the complete mix in the forms
shall not exceed sixty (60) minutes for concrete mixed in transit
mixers.
B-8. Placing: Concrete shall be placed only in the presence of a duly
authorized representative of the Engineer and not until all form work,
reinforcement, installation of fixtures to be embedded, and preparation
of concrete surfaces to be bonded to have been approved by him. All
concrete placed in violation of this provision will be rejected.
Concrete surfaces on or against which other concrete is to be placed
shall be thoroughly cleaned of surface laitance and clean aggregate
shall be exposed by wire brushing, sand blasting or air and water
pressure jet.
Each concreting operation shall be continuous until the placing in the
course, section or monolith is completed. Fresh concrete shall not be
permitted to fall from a height greater than six feet (61) without the
use of adjustable length pipes or "elephant trunks".
In order to assure that there will be no interruption in such continuous
placing, the contractor shall have available stand-by concrete mixing
equipment ready for use in case of breakdown or he shall make arrange-
ments, satisfactory to the Engineer, with the supplier of concrete, if
transit mix concrete is being used, so that the Engineer may be assured
that once placement is started it can be completed without interruption.
The vibrating equipment, including stand-by equipment, shall be at the
site and tested in the presence of the Engineer's representative during
the day preceding the planned day of placement.
Appropriate mechanical vibration shall be used in placing concrete to
eliminate stone pockets and voids, to consolidate each layer with that
previously placed, to completely embed reinforcing bars and other
fixtures, and to bring Just enough fine material to the faces of top
and exposed surfaces to produce a smooth, dense and even texture.
Vibrators shall be of the high frequency internal type and the number
Portland Cement Concrete Standards - 2
in use shall be ample to consolidate the incoming concrete to a
proper degree within fifteen (15) minutes after it is deposited in
the forms. In all cases, at least two (2) vibrators shall be available
at the site. The use of approved external vibrators for compacting
concrete will be permitted when the concrete is otherwise inaccessible
for adequate compaction, provided the forms are constructed sufficiently
rigid to resist displacement or damage from external vibration.
B-9« Forms; All forms shall be smooth, mortar tight, true to the required
lines and grades and of sufficient strength to resist any appreciable
amount of springing out of shape during the placing of concrete. All
foreign matter shall be removed from forms before concrete is placed
therein. Forms previously used shall be thoroughly cleaned before
re-use. Prior to placing concrete, all forms shall be oiled with a
high penetrating form oil which leaves no film on the surface that
can be absorbed by the concrete. Immediately prior to placing con-
crete, all forms shall be thoroughly wetted.
Forms shall not be removed until the concrete has hardened sufficiently
to safely support its own weight and possible construction loads. Forms
supporting concrete members which are subject to direct bending stress
shall not be removed or struck until concrete test cylinders show that
a strength of not less than 2,500 psi in compression has been attained.
In no case, however, shall forms be removed or released prior to the
expiration of forty-eight (U8) hours following placing of the concrete.
Forms for all surfaces which will not be completely enclosed or hidden
below the final surface of the ground shall be made of surfaced ply-
wood. Insofar as practicable, forms shall be so constructed that the
form marks will conform to the general lines of the structure. All
sharp edges shall be chamfered with one inch by one inch (l" x l")
triangular filets.
Form clamps and ties with effective water stops shall be used to main-
tain accurately the specified wall thicknesses. These ties shall be
either of the threaded or snap-off type so that no metal will be left
within one and one-half inches (l-l/fe") of the surface of the wall.
The use of twisted wire ties will not be permitted.
B-10. Openings: Pipe sleeves, inserts for pipe connections, anchors, and
forms for pipe holes must be accurately placed and securely fastened
to the forms in such a manner that the placing of concrete and stripping
of forms will not alter their alignment or location. Openings may be
formed at sleeve locations and sleeves placed and grouted with cement
mortar containing fifteen (15) pounds of EMBECO, or equal, per bag
of cement, after wall concrete is placed.
Portland Cement Concrete Standards - 3
B-ll. Joints: Construction Joints shall be made only where shown on
the plans unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. In case of
emergency, construction joints shall be placed as directed by the
Engineer. Construction joints shall be mechanically bonded by
means of keys cast into the Joint surfaces.
B"12« Curing; All newly placed concrete shall be kept wet by the con-
tinuous application of water for the first seven (7) days after the
concrete has been placed. The use of curing compounds will not be per-
mitted.
B-13- Surface Finishes; During the placing of concrete, care shall be
taken in vibrating or otherwise consolidating the concrete to in-
sure surfaces of even texture free from voids. Immediately after
the forms have been removed, all form bolts shall be removed to a
minimum depth of one and one-half inches (1-1/2") below the surface
of the concrete. All holes and depressions caused by the removal
or cutting back of such form bolts shall be cleaned and filled with
cement mortar composed of one part by volume of cement to two parts
of sand. The mortar shall contain fifteen (15) pounds of EMBECO, or
equal, per bag of cement used. Care shall be exercised to obtain a
perfect bond with the concrete.
All rock pockets and honeycombed areas shall be repaired by chipping
back to solid concrete and filling the resulting space in the same
manner as specified for bolt holes. This work shall be done immed-
iately following the removal of forms. If in the judgment of the
Engineer rock pockets are of such an extent or character as to
affect the strength of the structure materially or to endanger the
life of the steel reinforcement, he may declare the concrete un-
acceptable and require the removal and replacement of that portion
of the structure.
Except for surfaces which are to be buried, all fins and other pro-
jections shall be removed and the surfaces shall be brushed with
stiff wire brushes or otherwise finished until a uniform color has
been obtained. The use of carborundum stones may be required to
remove unsightly bulges or discolorations. The object of these
operations is to obtain smooth, even surfaces of uniform appearance,
free from unsightly bulges or depressions due to form marks and other
imperfections. The contractor's attention is called to the fact that
the degree of care exercised in building forms and the character of
materials used in formwork are the main factors affecting the amount
of finishing which will be required.
All flat work shall be finished and worked from the poured slab and
floated and troweled to a smooth hard finish.
