Only specify HIR for constructing an intermediate course

Earlier versions of this specification referenced PN205 and SS833. The pricing structure formerly described in PN205 has been revised and is included in Appendix F here-in. The content of former specification SS833 is included in Appendix E in it’s entirety. Provide this Supplemental Specification on all plans that have project identified Earth-Disturbing Activities (EDA). EDA is defined as any activity that exposes bare ground or erodible materials to storm water. In addition this Supplemental Specification will be provided anywhere C&MS Item 659 Seeding, SS 870 Seeding, C&MS Item 660 Sodding, or SS 870 Sodding is being furnished. Delete all C&MS 207 Items and all SS 877 Items. Provide under the Erosion Control Heading the following Reference Items: Item 832 Each Erosion Control. Item 832 Lump Sum Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. Provide an encumbered dollar value, to be placed in the proposal for the Item: 832 Each Erosion Control. This amount is for both the quantity and total spaces. This amount should only be provided in the C2 Estimate and in the Special Considerations Field on the Plan Package Submittal Form and in the plans. For additional guidance see the NPDES Construction Permit Implementation Plan flowchart on the Office of Structural Engineering website. Example: $10,000 set up for Item 832 Each Erosion Control then 10,000 placed in the quantity and total spaces.

This note was written to safely use these recycled products without jeopardizing the embankment or pavement integrity or long-term performance. The Department does not require the use of recycled materials because this specification does not eliminate all risk or liability to the Department, it only minimizes such risks. 

Use this note when construction personnel are limited and the District wants full time inspection and compaction testing for the work. Contact the District Construction Engineer before incorporating this note into the plans. SS 878 and 879 are very similar specifications. SS-878 pays for the inspection and compaction testing as a lump sum pay item and covers Items 203, 204, 205, 206, 304, 307, 411, 503, 603 and MSE wall select granular embankment. SS-879 pays for the work as an incentive pay to the contract. The Contractor would be more responsible for the work under 879 but SS-879 only covers Items 203 and 204. 

Include all pay items. SS845.14 specifies metallizing to all structural steel; scuppers; expansion joints except for the traveled surface; steel railing; exposed steel piling; drain troughs; and other areas to the contract limits. Carefully review these areas that are to be metallized and show the limits of the contract work. Show plan limits for areas that will need the metallizing 12 mils thick as specified in SS845.14. Suggested areas are as follows: all steel within 10 feet of any expansion joint devise or internal hinge assembly. All steel in the potential splash zone of a scupper, all exterior and bottom flange surfaces on bridges with over the side drainage. Fracture critical members or critical structural members that would benefit from additional corrosion protection. Areas that collect debris or have exhibited more aggressive patterns of corrosion as determined from inspection records. When estimating the quantity for Item 883 Surface Preparation of Structural Steel, with Warranty, calculate the area to be metallized according to 883.08.  When estimating the quantity for Item 883, Grinding Fins, Tears, Slivers on Structural Steel, provide 1 minute for each linear foot of beam/girder to be coated.  When estimating the quantity for Item 883 Field Metallizing of Structural Steel, with Warranty, calculate the area to be metallized according to 883.08.

This is a QC/QA specification for structure concrete.  It contains performance requirements and pay factors based on the test results reported by the contractor.  It was developed to replace Item 511, class C, S and HP concretes in structures.  Use class QSC1 for substructure concrete and QSC2 for superstructure components of the bridge.  See 898.02 for a definition of which components of the bridge are considered substructure and which are considered superstructure.  The design strengths and permeabilities are 4000 psi and 2000 coulombs respectively for QSC1; and  4500 psi  and 1500 coulombs for QSC2.   Use QSC3 only when special design strength criteria is used for the design of the structure.  Specify the required strength and permeabily in the plans and proposal item description. Do not use where warranty specifications are required.
