ESTIMATED QUANTITIES This agreement, including the specifications, plans and estimate, is intended to show clearly all the work to be done and material to be furnished hereunder. The estimated quantities of the various classes of work to be done and material to be furnished 'under this contract are approximate and are to be used only as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the work and for comparing the proposals offered for the work. it is understood and agreed that the actual amount of work to be done and material to be furnished under that con-tract may differ somewhat from these estimates, and that the basis for payment under this contract shall be the actual amount of such work done and the material furnished. The CONTRACTOR agrees that he will make no claim for damages, anticipated profits or otherwise on account of any differences which may be found between the quantities of work actually done, the material actually furnished under the contract and the estimated quantities contemplated and contained in the proposals provided however that in case the actual total of the contract should become as much as 25% more than,ar'25% less than, the estimated or contemplated total of the contract, then either party to this Agreement, upon demand, shall be entitled to a revised consideration upon the portion of the work above or below 25% of the estimated total; such revised consi- deration to be determined by agreement between the parties, otherwise by the terms of the Agreement, as provided under EXTRA WORK. 16.

If such changes or alterations cli-Ini h the quantity of the work to be done, they shall not constitute the basis for a claim for damages, or anticipated profits on the work may be dispensed with. If they increase the amount of the work, and the increased work can fairly_ be classified under the specifications, such increase shall be paid for according to the quantity actually done and at the unit price established for such work under this contractF otherwise, such additional work shall be paid for as provided under EXTRA WORK. In case the OWNER shall make such changes or alterations as shall make useless any work already done, or material already furnished or used in said work, then the OWNER shall recompense the CONTRACTOR for any material or labor so used, and for any actual loss occasioned by such damage due to actual-expenses incurred in preparation for the work as originally planned. 17. EXTRA WORK The term "Extra Woik" as used in this contract shall be understood to mean and include all work that may be required by the ENGINEER or OWNER and to Page 3 Of 13 GENERAL CONDITIONS OF THE AGREEMENT, cont'd be done by the CONTRACTOR to accomplish any change, alteration or addition to the work shown upon the plans, or reasonably implied by the specifications, and not covered by the CONTRACTOR'S Proposal except as provided under Changes and Alterations in Paragraph 16 herein above.

The ENGINEER may direct the form in which accounts of the "actual field cost" shall be kept and may also specify in writing, before the work commences, the method of doing the work and the type and kind of machinery and equip- ment to be used, otherwise these matters shall be determined by the Contractor. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be determined by using the one hundred (100) percent of the actual hourly or daily rate (for the time used plus time in moving to and from job)-of the latest schedule of Equipment Ownership Expense adopted by the Associated General Contractors of America. Where practicable, the terms and prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be incorporated in the Written Extra Work Order. The fifteen (15) percent of the "actual field cost" to be paid the CONTRACTOR shall cover and compensate him for his' profit, overhead, general superintendence and field office expense, and all other elements of cost and expense not embraced within the "actual field cost" as herein-,defined, save that where the CONTRACTOR'S Camp or Field office must be maintained primarily on account of such Extra Work, then the cost to maintain and operate same shall be included in the "actual field cost."

In case any orders or instructions, either oral or written, appear to the CONTRACTOR to involve extra work for which he should receive Page 4 of 13 GENERAL CONDITIOND OF THE AGREEMENT, cont'd compensation, he shall make written request to the ENGINEER for written order authorizing Extra Work. Should a difference of opinion arise as to what does or does not constitute extra work, or as to the payment therefor, and the ENGINEER insists upon its performance, the CONTRACTOR shall proceed with the work after making written order and shall keep an accurate account of the "actual field cost" thereof, as provided under Method (c). The CONTRACTOR will thereby preserve the right to submit the matterof payment to arbitration, as herein provided. 18. PREL324INARY APPROVAL No Engineer, supervisor or inspector shall have any power to waive the obli- gations of this contract for the furnishing by the CONTRACTOR of good materials, and of his performing good work as herein described, and in full accordance with the plans and specifications.

In case such expence is less than the sun which would have beenpayable under this contract if the same had been completed by the Contractor, then said Contractor shall recieve the difference. In case such expence is greater than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been completed by the Contractor, then the Contractor and/or his Surerty shall apy the amount of such excess to the Owner; or (b) The owner, under sealed bids, after five(5)days notice published one or more times in a newspaper having a circulation in the county of the location of the work, may let the contract for compensation of the work under substantially the same terms and conditions which are provided in this contract. In case of any incre*ase in cost to the Owner under the new contract as compared to what would have been the cost underthis contract, such increase shall be charged to the Contractor and the Surety shall be and remain bound therefore, However, should the cost to complete any such new contract prove to be less than what would have been the cost to complete under this contract, the Contractor and/or his Surety shall be credited therewith. When the work shall have been substanially completed, the Contractor and his Surety shall be so notified and Certificates of Completion and Acceptance shall be issued 'as provided in Paragraph 23 hereinabove, a complete ite=Lized state- ment of the contract accounts, certified to by the Engineer as.being correct, shall then be prepared and delivered to the Contractor and his Surety,whereupon the Contractor and/or his Surety, or the owner, as the case may be, shall pay the balance due as reflected by said statement within fifteen(15) days after the date of such Certificate of Completion. Tn the event the statement of the account shows that the cost to complete the work is less than that which would have been the cost to the Owner had the work been completed by the Contractor under the terms of this contract anf when the Contractor and/or his Surety shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the Owner, than all machinery,ecluipment,tools materia3s or supplies left on the site of the work shall be turned over to the Contractor and/or his Surety. Page 11 of 13 GENERAL CONDITIONS OF THE AGREEMENT, cont'd Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract price and the Contractor and/or his surety fail to pay the amount due the owner within the time designed hereinabove, and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplie on the site of the work, notice thereof, together with an itemized list of such equipment and materials shall be mailed to the Contractor and his Surety at the respective addresses designated in this contract provided, however, that actual written notice given in any manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing or otherwise giving of such notice, such property shall be held at the risk of the Contractor and his Surety subject only to the duty of the owner to exercise ordinary care to protect such property. After fifteen(15) days from the date of said notice, the Owner, may sell such machinery, equipment, tools,materials, or supplies and apply the net sum derived from such sale to the credit of the Contractor, or without notice, as the owner may elect. The Owner shall release any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies, which remain on the work and belong to persons other than the Contractor or his Surety, to their proper owners. 44. ABANDONMENT BY THE OWNER In case the Owner shall fail to comply with the term of this contract and should fail to comply with said te=s within ten(10) days after written notifica- tion by the Contractor, then the Contractor may suspend or wholly abandon the work, and may remove thereft all machinery,tools and equipment, and all materials on the ground that have not been included in payments to the Contractor and have not been brought into work. And.thereupon the Engineer shall make an estimate of the total earned.by the Contractor, which estimate shall include the value of all work actuallt completed by said Contractor at the prices stated in the attached proposal(Exhibit C), the value of all partially completed work at a fair and equitable price, and the amount of all extra work performed at the prices agreed upon, or provided for by the terms of-- this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by the Contractor, to carry the whole work to completion and which cannot be utilized. The Engineer shall then make a final statement on the balance due the Contractor by deduction from theaboVe estimate all previous payments by the Owner, all other sums and shall certify same to the owner who shall pay to the Contractor on or before thirty(30)days after the date of notification by the Contractor, the balance shown by said final statement as due the Contractor under the terms of this Agreement. 45. BONDS It is further agreed by the parties of this contract that the Contractor s hall execute a performance dond and a payment bond, each in the sum of one hundred (100) percent in the forms provided for this purpose and it is agreed that this contract shall not be in effect until such bonds are furnished and approved by the owner. 46. TIME OF FILING CLAIMS It is fuither agreed by both parties hereto that all questions of dispute or adjustment presented by the Contractor shall be in writing and filed with the Engineer within a reasonable time after the Engineer has given any directions, order, or instruction to wh ich the Contractor desires to take exception. The Engineer shall reply to such written exceptions by the Contractor and render his final desicion in writing. In case the Contractor objects to the work by the Owner and'the acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment shall be a bar to any claims by either party, except as followsc No exceptions.

GENERAL CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS: Before starting work, the CONTRACTOR shall inform the ENGINEER fully as to the methods of construction he proposes to follow and as to the am unt and character of the equipment he proposes to use, the adequacy of which shall be subject to the approval of the ENGINEER. Concurrence on the part of the ENGINEER in any proposed construction methods, approval of equipment, or approval of form.and falsework plans shall not be considered as relieving the CONTRACTOR of the responsibility for the safety or correctness of his methods and adequacy of his equipment, or from carry- ing out the work in full accordance with the contract. Unless otherwise provided, the following requirements shall govern the time sequence in which construction operations may be carried on and for the opening of completed structures to traffic. Forms for walls or columns shall not be erected on concrete footings until the concrete in the footing has cured for at least two (2) curing days. Concrete may be placed in the wall or column as soon as the forms and re- inforcing steel placement are approved. The use of completed portions of a structure as the site for mixing operations or for storage of materials will not be permitted until the particular portion of the structure has aged for at least ten (10) curing days. A curing day shall be as defined in.section, "Removal of Forms and Falsework". In continued cold weather, the construction operations may be authorized at the end of a period of calendar days equal to twice the number of curing days specified above. Structures shall not be opened to construction traffic or to the traveling public until authorized by the ENGINEER. Such authorization may be given when the last concrete placed has cured at least ten (10) curing days but not until the requirements for form and falsework removal have.been ful- filled. This authorization shall cover only such traffic that complies with legal road limitations. FOUNDATIONS: Excavation for foundations shall be made in accordance with the requirements of pertinent specifications. EXPANSION JOINTS AND DEVICES: /A Expansion joints and devices to provide for expansion and contraction shall be constructed where and as indicated on the plans. Page 4 of 15 33 CONCRETE STRUCTURES (continued) Premolded materials, if specified, shall be used in expansion of contraction joints in abutment walls, wing walls and retaining walls. Metal flashing strips for the prevention of water seepage through wall joints shall be pro- vided and installed in accordance with the plans provisions. Premolded materials, wherever used, shall be anchored to the concrete on one side of the joint by'means of copper wire not lighter than No. 12B and S. gauge. Such anchorage shall be sufficient to preclude the tendency of the material to fall out of the joint. Careful workmanship shall be exercised in the construction of all joints to insure that the concrete.sections are completely separate by an open joint or by the joint materials and to insure that the joints will be true to the outline indicated. Immediately after the removal of forms and again where necessary after finishing, all projecting concrete shall be removed along the exposed edges of premolded materials in order to secure full effective- ness of the expansion joint. Where roofing felt or premolded materials are specified by horizontal joints, the materials shall, if practicable, extend two (2) inches beyond the form for the top member. The projecting portions shall be subsequently trimmed to the face of the member after the forms are removed. CONSTRUCTION JOINTS- The joint formed by placing plastic concrete in direct contract with concrete that has attained its initial set shall be deemed a construction joint. When concrete in a structure or a portion of a structure is specified to be placed monolithic, the term monolithic shall be interpreted to mean that the manner and sequence of concrete placing shall be such that construction joints will not be incurred. Construction joints shall be of the type and spacing shown on the plans. Additional joints shall not be provided without written authorization from the ENGINEER. Any additional construction joints shall have details equi- valent to those shown on the plans for joints in similar locations. Unless otherwise provided, construction joints shall be square and normal to the forms.. Bulkheads shall be provided in the forms for all joints except horizontal joints. The top surface of a concrete placement which terminates at a horizontal construction joint shall have the surface cement film removed and shall be thoroughly roughened as soon as practicable after the concrete has attained its initial set. -The surfaces at bulkheads shall be roughtened as soon as bulkhead forms are removed. Before joining plastic concirete toconcrete that has already set, the surface of the concrete in place shall be free from all loose material, laitance, dirt or foreign matter, shall be washed and scrubbed clean with stiff brooms and thoroughtly drenched with water until saturated,,and shall be kept wet Page 5 of 15 34 CONCRETE STRUCTURES (continued) until the plastic concrete has been placed. Immediately prior to the placing of additional concrete, all forms shall be drawn tight against the concrete in place, and the surface of the concrete in place shall be brushed with a coating of grout mixed in the proportions of one part of cement to two parts of sand. If shown on the plans, construction joints shall be provided with concrete keyways, reinforcing steel dowels, and/or metal flashing strips. The method of forming keys in keyed joints shall be such as to permit the easy removal of forms without chipping, breaking, or damaging the concrete in any manner. FALSEWORK: All falsework shall be designed and constructed so that no excessive settle- ment or deformation will occur, and so that the necessary rigidity shall be provided. Details of falaevork construction shall be subject to review and approval by the ENGINEER in accordance with the provisions of section, "General Constructions Requirements". All timber used in falsework centering shall be sound, in good condition, and free from defects which will impair its strength. All timber for wedges shall be hardwood. FORM: Forms shall be built mortar-tight and of material sufficient in strength to prevent bulging between supports and shall be set and maintained to the lines designated until the concrete is sufficiently hardened to permit form removal. During the elapsed time between the building of the forms and the placing of the concrete, the forms shall be maintained in a manner to elimin- ate warping and shrinking. All details of form construction shall be subject tothe approval of the ENGINEER and permission to place concrete will not be given until all of such work is complete to his satisfaction. Ifj at any stage of the work, the fo rms show signs of bulging or sagging, that portion of the concrete causing such condition shall be immediately removed, if necessary, and the forms shall be reset and securely braced against further movement. Lumber for forms shall be properly seasoned and of good quality. It shall be free from loose or unsound knots,, knot holes, twists, shakes, decay, and other imperfections which would affect its strength or impair the finished surface of the concrete. The lumber used for facing or sheathing shall be surfaced on at least one side and two edges and shall be sized to uniform thickness. Nominal otfd (1) inch thickness lumber will be permitted for general use on other portions of the structure if backed by a.sufficient number of studs and wales. Timber forms for exposed concrete surfaces which are required to be surface Page 6 of 15 CONCRETE STRUCTURES (continued) finished in accordance with these specifications shall be face lined with approved type of form lining material such as masonite or lolywood or equal. If desired by the CONTRACTOR, facing for such surfaces may be constructed of three-fourths (3/4) inch thick plywood backed by adequate studs and vales, and in this case form lining will not be required. Forms or form lumber to be reused shall be maintained clean and in good con- dition as to accuracy, shape, strength, rigidity, tightness, and smoothness of surface. Any lumber which is split, warped, bulged, marred, or has defects that may produce work inferior to that resulting from using new material shall not be reused. Studs shall not be less than two (2) inches by four (4) inches nominal section and shall be'spaced center to center not more than twenty (20) times the act- ual thickness of the facing lumber. Whererer practicable, studs shall be capped at the top with a plate of not less than two (2) inches by six (6) inches nominal size, carefully selected as to straightness. All joints in plates shall be scabbed at least four (4) feet each way to provide continuity. Wales shall be spaced at such intervals as to hold forms securely to the de- signated lines. All vales shall be scabbed at least four (4) feet on each side of joints to provide continuity. A raw of vales shall be placed 'Within six (6) inches of the bottom of each placement. Forms shall be rigidly braced to prevent movement while placing the concrete. All face form material shall be fastened to all studs and shall have true hori- zontal and vertical joints. Facing material on horizontal and other surfaces shall be placed with parallel and square joints. Molding specified for chamfer strips or other uses shall be made of redwood, cypress or pine materials of such grade that will not split when nailed and which can be maintained to a true line without warping. The molding shall be mill cut and dressed on all faces. Unless otherwise provided, forms shall be filleted at all sharp corners and edges with triangular chamfer strips. The strips shall be three-fourths (3/4) inch measure on the sides. Forms for railings and ornamental work shall be constructed to standard eq-ai- valent to first class mill work. All moldings, panel work, and bevel strips shall be straight and true with neatly mitered joints out of such design that the finished work shall be true, sharp, and clean cut. All forms shall be so constructed as to permit removal without damage to the concrete. Particular and special care must be exercised in framing forms for copings, offsets, railing and all ornamental work so that there will be no damage to or marring of the concrete when the forms are removed. If desired by-the CONTRACTOR, the forms may be given a slight draft to permit ease of removal. Metal form ties of an approved type shall be used to hold forms in place. Such ties shall be of a type e,specially designed for use in connection with con crete work, and they shall have provision to permit ease of removal of the Page 7 of 15 CONCRETE STRUCTURES (continued) metal as hereinafter specified. The use of wireform ties will not be per- mitted except for minor or special form areas where the use of rigid type metal ties would be impracticable. All metal appliances used inside of fox to hold them in correct alignment shall be removed to a depth of at least one-half (1/2) inch from the surface of the concrete and shall beso constructed that the metal may be removed without undue injury to the surface by chipping or spalling. Such devices, when removed, shall lease a smooth opening in the concrete surface. Burning off rods, bolts, or ties will not be permitted. Metal ties shall be held in place by devices attached to wales. Each device shall be capable of developing the strength of the tie. Pipe spreaders will not be permitted. Metal and wooden spreaders which are separate from the forms shall be entirely removed as the concrete is being placed. Where wire ties are used, all wires, upon removal of the forms, shall be cut back at least one-half (1/2) inch from the face of the concrete with a sharp chisel or nippers. All cavities produced by the removal of metal ties shall be carefully cleaned and completely filled with retempered sand cement mortar mixed in proportion of one to three and the concrete shall be left smooth and even. Whenever practicable, forms,shall be erected completely before the reinforce- ment is placed. For narrow walls and other locations where access to the bottom of the forms is.not readily attainable otherwise,, adequate clean cut openings shall be provided. At the time of placing concrete, the forms shall be clean and entirely free from all chips, dirt, sawdust, and other extraneous matter. The facing of all forms shall be treated with oil before concrete is placed. In hot weather, both sides of face forms may be required to be treated with oil to prevent warping and to secure tight joints. The oil must be applied before the reinforcement is placed. The oil used for this purpose shall be a light clear oil vhich will not discolor or otherwise injuriously affect the concrete surface. In general, all forms shall be thoroughly wetted before the concrete is placed therein. The foregoing specifications for "Forms" in regard to design, mortar-tightness, filleted corners, beveled projections, bracing, alignment, removal, reuse, oiling and wetting shall apply with equal force to metal forms. Page 8 of 15 CONCRETE STRUCTURES (continued) The metal used for forms shall be of such thickness that the forms will remain true to shape. All bolt and rivet heads on the facing sides shall be countersunk. Clamps, pins, or other connecting devices shall be designed to hold the for rigidly together and to allow removal without injury to the ccncrete. Metal forms which do not present a smooth surface or line up properly shall not be used. Special care shall be exercised to keep metal free from rust, grease or other foreign material such aswill tend to discolor the concrete. PLACING REINFORM=: Reinforcement in concrete structures shall be carefully and accurately placed and rigidly supported as provided in item, "Reinforcing Steel". PLACING CONCRETE - GENERAL: The CONTRACTOR shall give the ENGINEER sufficient.advance notice before start- ing to place concrete in any unit of the structure to permit the inspection of forms, the reinforcing ste@-l iplacement, and preparations for casting. Unless authorized by the ENGINEER, no concrete shall be placed in any unit prior to the completion of the form work and the placement of the reinforcement. No concrete shall be placed before the completion of all operations which might prive detrimental to the concrete. Whenever it is necessary to continue the mixing, placing, and finishing of concrete after the daylight hours, the site of the work shall be brilliantly lighted so that all operations are plainly visible. In general, concrete placing shall be so regulated as to permit finishing operations to be com- pleted in the daylight hours. The ENGINEER reserves the right to order postponement of the placing opera- tions when, in his opinion, impending weather conditions may result in rainfall or low temperatures which will impair the quality of the finished work., In case rainfall should occur after placing operations are started, the CONTRACTOR shall provide ample covering to-protect the work. In case of drop in temperature, the provisions set forth in the section, "Placing Concrete in Cold Weather",, shall be applied. The sequence of placing concrete shall be as provided on theplans or in specifications. The operation of depositing and compacting the concrete shall be conducted so as to form a compact, dense., impervious mass of uni- form texture which shall show smooth faces on all surfaces. The placing shall not exceed the loads used in the design of forms. The method and manner of placing shall be such as to avoid the possibility of segregation or separation of the aggregate or the displacement of the reinforcement. Concrete shall not have a free fall of more than three (3) feet except in the case of thick walls, such as culvert walls. The spatter- ing of forms or reinforcement bars shall be prevented if the concrete so spattered will dry or harden before being incorporated in the mass. Page 9 of 15 CONCRETE STRUCTURES (continued) Each part of the forms shall be filled by depositing concrete directly as near its final position as possible. The coarse aggregate shall be worked back from the face and the concrete forced under and around the reinforce- ment bars without displacing them. Depositing large quantities at one point in the forms and running or working it along the forms will not be allowed. After the concrete has taken initial set, the forms shall not be jarred or any strain placed on projecting reinforcement. Chutes, troughs, or pipes used as aids in placing concrete shall be arranged and used so that the ingredients of the concrete will not be separated. When steep slopes are necessary, the chutes shall be equipped with baffle boards or be made in short lengths that reverse the direction of movement. Open troughs and chutes shall extend,, if necessary, down inside the forms or through holes left in the forms, or the ends of such chutes shall terminate in vertical downspouts.. All chutes, troughs, and pipes shall be kept clean and free from coatings of hardened concrete by a thorough flushing with water before and after each@lplacement. Water used for flushing shall be discharged clear of the concrete in place. The use of chutes in excess of thirty-five (35) feet total length for conveying concrete will not be permitted except by specific authorization from the ENGINEER. @Where the CONTRACTOR'S operations involve the placing of concrete from above, that is, directly into an excavated area or through the completed forms, particularly in the case of abutments and retaining walls, and except thin walls such as culvert walls, all concrete so placed shall be deposited through. a vertical sheet metal or other approved pipe not less than six (6) inches or more than ten (10)@, inches in diameter. The pipe shall be made in sections so that the outlet may be adjusted to proper heights during placing operations. Concrete shall be placed in continuous horizontial layers approximately twelve (12) inches in thickness. Not more than one hour shall elapse between the placing of successive layers of concrete in any portion of the structure included in the continuous placement. The CONTRACTOR shall avoid unauthorized construction joints by placing required portion of walls or superstructures in one continuous operation. Laitance or foreign matter of any kind shall not be permitted to accumulate inside the forms, and openings in forms necessary for removal of same shall be provided. All concrete shall be well compacted and the mortar flushed to the surface of the forms by continuous working with concrete spacing implements or mechani- cal vibrators of an approved type. Vibrators of the type which operated by attachment to forms or reinforcement will not be permitted. The vibrators shall be applied to the concrete immediately after deposit and shall be moved throughout the masss,thoroughly working the concrete around the reinforce- ments, embedded fixtures, and into the corners and angles of the forms until it'has been'reduced to a plastic mass. The mechanical vibrator shall not be operated so that it will penetrate or disturb layers placed previously which have become partially set or hardened. The vibration shall be of sufficient duration to accomplish thorough compaction and complete embedment or reinforce- ment and fixtures but shall not be done to an extent that will cause segrega- Page 10 of 15 CCNCRETE STRUCTURES.(continued) tion. Vibration shall be supplemented by hand spading if necessary to insure the flushing of mortar to the surface of all forms. PLACING CONCRETE IN COLD WEATHER: No concrete shall be placed when the atmospheric temperature is at'or below 1400 F. (taken in the shade away from articifial heat) unless permission to do so is given in writing by the ENGINEER. When such permission is given or in cases where the temperature drops below 400 F. after the concrete operations have been started., the CONTRACTOR shall furnish sufficient canvas and frame- work or othertype of housing to enclose and protect the structure in such a way that the air around the forms and fresh concrete can be kept at a temper- ature not less than 500 F. for a period of five days after the concrete is placed. Sufficient heating apparatus such as stoves, salamanders, or steam equipment and fuel to furnish all required heat shall be supplied. The treat- ment of mixing water and aggregates used in mixing concrete shall be as specified in "Concrete for Structures". It is understood that the CONTRACTOR is responsible for the protection of concrete placed under any and all weather conditions. Permission given by the ENGINEER to place concrete during freezing weather will, in no way, re- lieve the CONTRACTOR of the responsibility.for satisfactory results. Should concrete placed under such conditions prove unsatisfactory, it shall be removed and replaced. PLACING CONCRETE IN WATER: Concrete should be deposited in water only when specified on the plans or with the permission of the ENGINEER. The forms shall be sufficiently tight to prevent any water current passing through the space in which the concrete is being depotited. Pumping will not be permitted while the concrete is being placed, nor until it has set for at least thirty-six (36) hours. The concrete shall be carefully placed in a compact mass by means of a tremie, closed bottom dumping bucket, or other approved method that does not permit the concrete to fall through the water without adequate protection. The concrete shall not be disturbed after being deposited. Depositing shall be regulated to maintain approximately horizontal surfaces at all times. When a tremie is used, it shall consist of a tube having a diameter of not more than ten (10) inches, constructed in sections having water tight con- nections. The means of supporting 'the tremie shall permit the movement ' of the discharge end over the entire top surface of the work and shall permit the tremie to be rapidly lowered when necessary to choke off or retard the flaw. The number of times it is necessary to shift the location of the tremie, for any continuous Placement of concrete, shall be held to a minimum. During the-placing of concrete, the tremie tube shall be kept full to the bottom of the hopper. When a batch is dumped into the hopper, the tremie shall be slightly raised, but not out of the concrete at the bottom, until the batch discharges to the level of the bottom of the hopper. The flow shall then be stopped by'lowering the tremie. The placing operations shall be continuous until;the work is complete. Page 3-1 of 15 CONCRETE STRUCMTRES (continued) When concrete is placed by means of a bottom dump bucket, the bucket shall have a capacity of not less than one-half (1/2) cubic yard. The bucket shall be lowered gradually and carefully until it rests upon the concrete already placed. It shall then be raised very slowly during the discharge travel, the intent being to maintain, as nearly as possible, still water at the point of discharge and to avoid agitating the mixture. PTACING CONCREME IN BOX CULVERTS: In general, the base @slab, curtain walls, lower haunches, and the bottom portion of the sidewalls up to.a height of approximately one (1) inch above the haunches, or sidewalls to a height of approximately four (4) inches above the base slab when no haunch is provided, shall be placed as a monolith. The top surface of the base slab and the top surface of the slabs which do not carry direct traffic shall be accurately finished by hand floating methods before the concrete has attained its initial set. Before concrete is placed in the sidewalls, the footing area joining the walls shall be thoroughly cleaned of all shavings, sticks, sawdust, or other extraneous material. In the construction of box culverts less than four (4) feet in clear height, the sidewalls and top slab generally shall be placed monolithic. When box culverts are greater than four (4) feet in 'clear height, a construction joint may, if shown on the plans, be provided between the sidewalls and the top slab. In case no joint is provided, an interval of not less than one (1) hour or more than two (2) hours shall elapse between the placing of concrete in the walls, and concrete in the haunches and top slab, such interval to allow for shrinkage in the wall concrete. Curbs and haunches at tops of walls shall be placed monolithic with the-top slab. The tops of culvert slabs which are intended to carry direct traffic shall be finished and surface tested in accordance with the provisions for finish- ing roadway slabs. PLACING CONCRETE IN FOUNDATIONS AND STRUCTURES: Concrete shall not be placed until the depth and character of the foundation has been inspected by the ENGINEER and permission has been given to proceed. The placing of concrete will be permitted after the excavations are free from water and properly cleaned. Any necessary pumping or bailing during the con- creting operations shall be done from a suitable sump located outside the forms. All temporary wales or braces shall be constructed or adjusted as the work proceeds to the end that construction joints in addition to those shown on the plans will not be necessary. TREATMENT AND FINISHING OF HORIZONTAL SURFACES: All upper surfaces not covered by forms shall be completed by placing excess material in the forms and removing or striking off such excess with a wooded Page 12 of 15 41 CONCRETE STRUCTURES (continued) template forcing the coarse aggregate below the mortar surface. The use of mortar topping for surfaces under this classification will not be permitted. CURING CONCRETE: Careful attention shall be given by the CONTRACTOR to the proper curing of all concrete in the structure. All upper surfaces not formed shall be cover- ed by cotton mat coverings immediately following the floating operations and shall be kept thoroughly wet for a period of four (4) curing days. Inter- mission will be permitted as needed to allow the surfaces to be finished. The mats shall be held in direct contact with the concrete. Water used for curing shall be free from injurious amounts of oil, acid, alkali, salt, or other deleterious substances. Immediately following the finishing operations, all concrete shall be cover- ed with wet cotton mats or with a temporary covering of canvas or burlap. The canvas or burlap covering material shall weigh not less than ten (10) ounces per square yard, and the sections shall be placed 'With a lap at the edges of at least eight (8) inches. The material shall be saturated with water previously to placing and shall be kept saturated as long as it remains in place. Care shallbe exercised in the placing of the cover material in order that the'concrete surface shall not be disturbed. When a temporary covering is used, it shall remain in place only until the concrete has sufficiently hardened that a cotton mat covering can be substi- tuted without disturbing or marring the finish of the concrete. Cottom mats shall be thoroughly saturated before placing and shall be maintained in a saturated condition for a period of at least eight (8) curing days after the concrete is placed. Cotton mats shall meet the following requirements: 1. Mats shall be of a size convenient for handling and shall be com- posed of a single layer of cotton filler completely enclosed in a cover of cotton cloth. 2. The filler may be of a low grade cotton, cottom linters, or such cotton waste as comer noils or card flat strips. 3. Mats shall contain not less than three-fourths (3/4) of a pound of cotton filler per square yard of mat, uniformly distributed. 4. The cloth used for covering material shall'be Osnaburg weighing not less than six and three-tenths (6-3/10) ounces per square yard. 5.---All mats shall be stitched longitudinally with continuous parallel rows of stitching at intervals of not more than three (3) inches. The sew- ing Vill*not be done so tightly that the mat, vhen saturated with water, will not contact the surface of the slab at all points. Page 13 of 15 CONCTETE STRUCTURES (continued) 6. To insure'the complete covering of the slabs where the mats fit together, there shall be a flap extending all along the one side of each mat. The fleD shall be com-Dosed of two thicknesses of the cover material and shall be approximately six (6) inches wide. The flap shall be strongly stitched along the edge. 7. Ponding may be used for curing top slabs of culverts instead of the cotton mat covering above described. REMOVAL OF FORMS AND FALSEWORK: Except as hereinafter provided, forms for surfaces required to be finished shall be removed when the concrete has aged not less than one-half (1/2) nor more than two (2) curing days after the concrete is placed. Forms and falsework for the portions of structure which do not require Sur- face finish-may be removed when the concrete has aged for the minimum number of curing days set forth in the following table: Forms for walls, columns and sides of beans ........ 2 days The term "curing days" will be interpreted.as any calendar day on which the temperature is above 500 F. for at least nineteen (19) hours. Colder days may be counted if satisfactory provision is made to maintain the air temper- ature adjacent to the concrete constantly above 500 F. throughout the entire day. In continued cold weather, when artificial heat is not provided, the ENGINEER may permit the removal of forms and falsework at the end of a period of calendar days equal to twice the number of curing days stated in the above table. Test specimens may be made at the option of the ENGINEER for the purpose of determining a satisfactory time of form and falsework removal in cold weather, and when tests made on specimens cured under like conditions to the curing of the structure indicate that strengths equivalent to the seven day strengths as given in "Concrete for Structures" have been attained, the forms and falsework may be removed. In no event shall this removal be done in less time than the curing period given in the above table. DEFECTIVE WORK: An defective work discovered after the forms have been removed shall be repaired immediately. If the surface of the concrete is bulged, uneven or .shows excess honeycombing or form marks, which defect., in the opinion of the ENGINEER, connot be repaired satisfactorily, the entire section shall be removed and replaced. In repairing honeycombed areas, all loose material shall be removed before the repair work is started. No extra compensation will be allowed for the extra work or materials involved in repairing or replacing defective concrete. FINISHING EXPOSED SURFACES: All abutments, retaining walls and culverts, which are exposed to view after backfill and roadway embankments are placed shall be surface finished. The Page 14 of 15 CONCRETE STRUCTURES (continued) area inside of culvert barrels including both sidewalls and the underside of the top slab for a distance equal to one-third (1/3) the clear height but not less than eighteen (18) inches shall be considered as exposed to view. The remaining surface inside of culvert barrels and the bottoms of slab spans will not be required to be surface unless such surfaces are not true or have porous spots of honeycombed area.s. In case these defects occur, the areas shall be @iven a first surface rubbing. Such rubbing shall extend 9 over a sufficient area around the blemished portions to provide for a neat blending with the surrounding unfinished surface. The operation of surface finishing shall be in accordance with the following provisions: 1. As soon as forms are removed, all necessary pointing shall be done. When the pointing has set sufficiently to permit it, all surfaces requiring surface finish shall be wet with a brush and given a first surface rubbing with a No. 16 Carborundum Stone or an abrasive of equal quality. The rubbing shall be continued sufficiently to bring the surface to a paste, to remove all form marks and projections, and to produce a smooth dense surface without pits or irregularities. The use of cement to form a surface paste will not be permitted. The material which has been ground to a paste in this process shall be carefully spread or brushed uniformly over the surface and allowed to take a reset. 2. In general, chamfered corners shall not be rubbed in the first surface rubbing. 3. During the process of conditioning the completed structure for final acceptance, the surfaces of the entire structure requiring finish shall be cleaned free from drop marks and discolorations and shall be given a final finish rubbifig with a No. 30 carborundum Stone or an abrasive of equal quality. On completion of this rubbing, the surface shall be neatly striped with a brush, and the mortar on the surface shall be allowed to take a reset. The surface shall then be washed down with clean water. The entire structure shall be left with a clean, neat, and uniform appearing finish and shall be uniform in color. SPECIAL SURFACE FINISHED: When so specified, special surface finishes shall be employed. In general, the method and manner of performing this work will be fully provided for in the plans or special provisions to these specifications. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT: No direct compensation will be made for "Concrete Structures". Measurement and payment for quantities of concrete, reinforcement, excavation and other proposed items which constitute the completed and accepted structures will be made in accordance with the provisions of pertinent specifications. NOTE: The last page of this specification shall be pertinent only when Testing Laboratory Services are required. Page 15 of 15 CONCRETE STRUCTURES (continued) TESTING LABORATORY SERVICES: A.

The testing laboratory shall be selected by the ENGINEER. B. The testing laboratory shall design the proportions to be used for concrete mixtures to attain the unit compressive strengths specified and the workability or plasticity appropriate for the various conditions of concrete use. Determination by the testing laboratory of water-cement ratios and pro- protions of cement, sand and gravel to be used shall be based on experimental determinations, using in each case samples of the actual cement, sand and gravel to be used for the project. C. The testing laboratory shall furnish reports to the ENGINEER and the CONTRACTOR on a_U of its design-of-mix determinations, all of its services and all of its cylinder check tests. D. The CONTRACTOR shall collaborate with the testing laboratory to the end that its functions and services may be.properly performed so as to insure the proportioning and handling of the concrete materials in such manner as to result in the strengths specified and in desirable workability. E. The testing laboratory shall perform all services necessary for design-of-mix and redesign whenever changes are made in the aggregates or in the plasticity or workability of the concrete. F. The CONTRACTOR, under the sdp,ervision of the ENGINEER'S represent- ative, shall take sample specimens of the concrete in cylindrical containers at the point of deposit as follows: 1. One sampling, consisting of two cylinders, shall be made for each pouring operation involving any change in the aggregates used or water-cement ratio change and not less than one sampling for each 50 cubic yards of concrete used in any event. Each time that samples are so taken, two sample cylinders shall be taken at the sam time: one cylinder to be used for a 7 day test and one for a 28 day test. All cylinders as above shall be taken to the laboratory and the 7 day and the 28 day tests shall be performed in accordance with the current A.S.T.M. specifications for handling and testing. 2. The testing laboratory shall submit a report on each cylinder check test; these reports are to show all of the data customarily listed by the laboratory in reporting on such check tests. G. Forms of reports on each of the testing laboratory services (de- sign,' control and check tests) shall be submitted for the ENGINEER'S approval and approved forms shall henceforth be used:for the reports required above.

Page 2 o-L' 4 SPECIFICATIONS FOR PRESTRESSED CONCRETE PILING (cont'd) H. Unless otherwise specified, all materials used shall meet the -requirements of Section Concrete. FABRICATION- A. General " Except as otherwise specified herein the piles shall be cast of concrete controlled, made,, placed, and cured in accordance with the provisions of Section Concrete. The 28-day compressive strength of prestres- sed concrete shall be 5,000 psi. The Contractor shall be responsible for the design of mixes for precast, prestressed piles and for meeting the strength requirements. Mixes and the preposed and curing operation shall be submitted for approval prior to casting of piles. B. Prestressing - Before placing any concrete in form, all prestress strands shall be stressed to 2d,910 pounds per strand. Stress shall be applied by properly calibrated hydraulic jacks and the elongation measured to verify the tensioning load. Suitable means shall be provided for measuring the elongation of steel and the results shall check within 5%. Strands and reinforcing steel shall be accurately placed in position. Care shall be'exercised to keep strands and reinforcing clean of form oil or other substances harmful to bond. Where strand placement locations are not specifically shown on the drawings, one strand shall be placed in each pile corner with the remaining strands placed in layers on the bayside and landside so that the center of gravity of the strands coincide with the center of gravity of the pile cross section. The minimum clear spacing between strands in a layer shall be three times the diameter of the strand, but at least 1-1/3 times the maximum size of aggregate. The clear distance between layers shall be as small as practicable, but shall be not less than one inch. Exterior layers shall be filled with as many strands as is practicable before interior layers are used. Strands in interior layers shall be placed directly in line with those on the outside layers. C. Releasing f Strands - Maintain full tension in strands until concrete has attained a compressive strength of at least 4,000 psi after which strands shall be cut off flush with ends of unit and ends shall be painted with a black asphaltic base paint to prevent corrosion except where the strands are required to project beyond the concrete. The force in the prestressing steel shall be transferred to the concrete by releasing all strands simultaneously or in a sequence.that will not result in high tensile or compressive concrete stresses that will damage the pile. D. Reinforcing - The reinforcing system shall be rigidly wired or fastened ar;d-held to true position in the forms by approved devices or methods. Strands shall be held to within 1/4 inch of the true position and spirals or ties shall be positioned to within 1/6 of their planned spacing from their true planned position. E. Forms - They shall be smooth and arranged to provide ample working room'and easy access for carrying out all operations required for the proper placing, consolidation, and finishing of the concrete for the piles. The design Page 3 of 4 SPECIFICATIONS FOR PRESTRESSED CONCRETE PILING (cont1d) of the forms shall be such that their removal can be accomplished without damage to the completed piles. Steel forms shall be used for typical stand- ard sheet piles and square bearing piles. Special, filler and corner piles may be used wood forms provided the piling finishes conform. Side forms shall remain in place@until the piles have reached 4,000 pounds per square inch strength. Forms shall be so designed and aligned that they will not restrict the longitudinal movement of the casting when the prestressing force is transferred. F. Casting - Piles shall be cast on level, tight platforms, constructed to prevent settlement during the casting and curing operations. Piling shall be cast in a horizontal position. Casting in tiers will not be permitted. When casting is once started, it shall be carried on as a continuous operation until the pile is completed. All concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by internally vibrating., spading, and rodding during the placing operation, and it shall be thoroughly vorked around the reinforcement and into the corners of the forms. The intensity of vibration shall be sufficient to cause the concrete to flow and settle into place. Vibration shall be applied uniformly over the length of the pile and shall be@a sufficient duration to insure thorough compaction of the concrete. Spading and rodding during the placing operation shall supplement the vibration. Surfaces shall be free from detri- mental porosity or honeycomb. Each pile shall be marked with the date of its casting, and its pile mark; pick up points shall be marked on each pile. G. Curing - Concrete piles cured as specified in Section Concrete shall be carefully cured for a period of not less than fourteen (14) days; however, piles cured with an approved steam curing system may be.removed from the forms at concrete strength of 4,000 psi. The proposed method of curing shall be approved by the EZINEER prior to the staxt of pile casting. Concrete test cylinders shall be cured at the same location, under identical conditions, and by the idential. method used to cure the piles cast of the same concrete pours from which the,samples were taken. H. Storage and Handlip& - The methods used for storage and handling of the piles shall be such that the piling will not be subjected to overstress, spalling,, or other injury. Provision shall be made for all required lifting and handling devices to be so placed As not to weaken or overstress the pre- cast elements at any time. Piling shall remain undisturbed until the strands are released and shall not be subjected to handling until the end of the specifi- ed curing period and until the pile has developed a strength of 4,000 psi as indicated by the test cylinders. In general, piles shall be lifted by means of a suitable bridle., slings and/or inserts attached to the pile at the marked pick-up points. Piles which are crushed or otherwise injured during curing, handling or driving shall be removed from the site of the work by the COUTRACTOR at no cost to the 'Owner. . Piling shall not be shipped from the storage yard to the construction site until the concrete has developed a strength of 5,000psi. I. Tolerance and Rejection a).
