Exhibit A

   It is assumed that all sub-grades will be properly graded to the lines and grades shown on the plans for the given project. In the event there is to be embankment construction, all fill material shall be placed and compacted per the requirements of the IDOT Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction or Shiloh Codes whichever requires the highest level of performance.

   Forms shall be clean and securely staked and braced prior to placement of concrete. Forms may be wood or metal, straight and free from bend or warp. Deviation from true straightness shall not exceed the following limits for a ten (10) foot length as determined with a stringline.

Horizontally   1/4 in

Vertically   1/8 in

   When set to grade and staked in place, the maximum deviation of the top of any section from a straight line shall not exceed 3/16 in. The forms to be used shall be capable of carrying the weight of the paving equipment without deflecting or being depressed into the sub-grade/sub-base.

   Portland cement concrete pavement may be placed with a slip-form paver with an automatic grade control system. The slip-form paver shall be capable of striking off, consolidating, and finishing the pavement to the required cross section. Pavement placed with this method shall be checked with a ten (10) foot straightedge and any necessary corrections made as discussed hereinafter.

   At the Contractor's option, in lieu of a slip-form paver, he may use forms in conjunction with the following equipment to place Portland cement concrete:

   a.   A two-screed power driven finishing machine designed to strike off, screen, and consolidate the plastic mixture, or

   b.   A vibrating screed to strike off and consolidate the mixture to the proper cross section, and

   c.   A longitudinal float not less than twelve (12) feet in length and six (6) inches in width that is properly stiffened to prevent flexibility and warping, and equipped with handles.

   In addition, with employment of the equipment specified in either (1) or (2) and (3) above, the Contractor shall be required to furnish at least two 10-foot metal straightedges for use following either the finishing machine or the longitudinal float. The straightedges shall not exceed true straightness by more than 1/16 in. when checked with a stringline. Long handled wood or metal float shall be used to correct a surface deviation indicated by the straightedge. Said floats shall have a blade not less than five (5) feet in length and six (6) inches in width.

   Prior to placement of concrete on the sub-grade/sub-base, the grade shall be checked for proper depth with a template or stringline if forms are used, or with before and after elevation shots for slip-form work. Any soft or spongy areas shall be properly corrected by undercutting or stabilization. Under no circumstances shall concrete be placed on a frozen sub-grade. Provisions shall be made for wetting dry sub-grades in advance of concrete placement.

   Plastic Portland cement concrete shall be deposited on the grade in such a manner as to require a minimal amount of rehandling or segregation. It shall be deposited in successive batches in a continuous operation. No batch/load shall be incorporated that has been in the truck longer than sixty (60) minutes. The operation will be coordinated in such a manner as to have the mixture struck off and consolidated within thirty (30) minutes of deposition on the grade.

   If a vibrating screed is used to strike-off and consolidate the mixture, the Contractor may be required to make two passes with the equipment. The longitudinal float shall be passed across the entire surface a minimum of two times with an overlap of 50% between successive locations along the pavement.

   After the operation of the slip-form paver, or the finishing machine, or the longitudinal float, but while the concrete is still plastic, the pavement surface shall be tested with a ten (10) foot straightedge. The straight-edge shall be held in successive positions parallel to the pavement centerline in contact with the surface. Advancement along the pavement shall be such to provide at least 50% overlap for successive stages. High areas shall be cut down and refinished with a five (5) foot float. The corrected area shall be checked again with the ten (10) foot straight edge.

   All construction joints and pavement edges shall be finished with an edging tool having a radius of 1/4 inch.

Subsequent to initial set, and prior to hardening of the surface, the pavement shall be given a broomed or burlap drag finish either transversely or parallel to the centerline of road. Resulting indenture of the surface shall yield a nominal depth of 1/16 inch.

   Subsequent to application of the finished texture, the freshly placed concrete shall be covered with polyethylene sheeting or curing compound as soon as such application can be made without marring the surface. In the case of curing compound, the Contractor shall insure that adequate and uniform coverage is achieved. In the case of polyethylene sheeting, all edges shall be securely anchored to prevent air movement under the sheeting. Curing shall be maintained for a minimum of 72 hours. Polyethylene sheeting may be temporarily rolled back to allow sawing of contraction joints. The exposed surface shall be wet and recovered for the remainder of the curing period subsequent to sawing.

   When freezing temperatures are predicted within 72 hours of placement of concrete pavement, adequate insulation shall be provided for protection against freezing.

   Prior to traffic being allowed on newly placed concrete pavement, all joints (contraction and longitudinal) are to be cleaned and sealed with hot poured rubber asphalt joint filling compound.

   All Portland cement concrete to be used for pavement construction shall be a 6-bag mix meeting the following mix proportions with the aggregate meeting the gradation and quality requirements of the Illinois Department of Transportation and must attain 4000 psi in 28 days.

 

 

   In addition to being proportioned in accordance with the above requirements, the plastic mixture shall conform to the following requirements:

 

 

   Calcium Chloride shall not be used in concrete mixtures except in cold weather construction and at that time shall not be in excess of 2%.

   Portland cement concrete to be constructed in subdivisions for curb and/or gutter, sidewalk, paved ditch, drainageways, median, etc., shall conform to the following approximate mix proportions per cubic yard and attain minimums of 4000 psi in 28 days.

 

 

   All Portland cement concrete shall be placed at such a consistency that the plastic mixture is workable but does not exceed the slumps stated above. Concrete shall not be placed that has been batched in excess of one (1) hour. Any truck shall be empty within one and one-half (1-1/2) hours after batching.

   Placement shall be accomplished in an acceptable and workmanlike manner. Care shall be exercised to avoid segregation of the mixture. The mixture shall be properly consolidated (by vibrator or spading) prior to or concurrently with the strike-off operation.

   Forms shall be clean and securely staked and braced prior to placement of concrete. Forms may be wood or metal, straight and free from warp. Deviation from true straightness shall not exceed the following limits for a ten (10) foot length when checked with a stringline:

      Horizontal     3/8 inch

      Vertical     1/4 inch

   Forms shall be stable enough to prevent vertical movement during placement and finishing operations.

   All concrete shall be worked sufficiently to bring 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch of mortar to the surface to allow for proper finishing. Prior to the final set, the finished product shall be given a lightly broomed finish at right angles to the centerline of the road or to the flow line.

   All freshly placed concrete shall be properly cured with polyethylene sheet (properly secured) or a membrane curing compound with a fugitive dye for a minimum period of 72 hours. Curing application shall be accomplished as soon as it can be applied without marring the finish.

   Calcium chloride shall not be used in concrete mixtures except in cold weather construction and at that time shall not be in excess of 2%. Portland cement shall not be placed on spongy or frozen grade. When freezing temperatures are predicted within 72 hours of placement, adequate insulation shall be provided for protection against freezing.

   Curb and curb & gutter shall have two #4 reinforcing bars, twenty-four (24) inches long, placed at all construction joints. Joints in curb and curb & gutter shall coincide with those in adjacent P.C.C. pavement. For curb and curb & gutter joints adjacent to flexible drive or parking surfaces, joint spacing shall not exceed 20'. All joints are to be sealed.
