WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION AND PUBLIC LIABILITY: The successful bid-
der at the time of execution of the contract shall furnish evidence of
• an Illinois Workmen's Compensation Policy, and shall also be required
to carry full liability insurance protecting the City of Evanston
against all claims for accidents to workmen, other persons or property.
PERFORMANCE BOND: Within ten days after receiving notice to the
award the successful bidder shall execute, in quadruplicate, a contract
with the City of Evanston for the complete performance of all work there-
in specified and shall furnish a surety bond satisfactory in form to the
Corporation Counsel, in the penal sum equal to one-third (1/3) of the

SPECIAL EXCAVATION: Prior to laying down the pavement thereon, the
alleys herein specified to be paved shall be cleaned in a thorough and
workmanlike manner of all debris and rubbish such as deteriorated pave-
ments, crossings, box drains, culverts, trees, stumps, etc. Excavation
shall be done in accordance with the requirements of Section 205 of the
"Standard Specifications".
Such portions of the excavated material as shall be selected by the
Engineer shall be hauled by the Contractor, to, and dumped at, locations
within the City of Evanston to be designated by the Engineer.
PREPARATION OF SUBGRADE: The subgrade shall be constructed so as
to have as nearly as practicable, a uniform density throughout its en-
tire width.. Compression of the subgrade material shall be accomplished
by successive operations of a self-propelled tendem roller, weighing
not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) tons. Portions of the
subgrade inaccessible to the roller shall be wetted and tamped solidly
with a hand tamp weighing not less than fifty (50) pounds and not to
exceed one hundred (100) square inches in area. All soft, spongy or
yielding spots and all vegetable or other such objectionable materials
shall be entirely removed and the space refilled with sandy soil. Any
depressions that appear during the rolling shall be filled with sandy
soil and rolled until the whole shall be uniformly compact and firm.
- 2 -
•A •
Rolling shall continue until the subgrade is uniformly compacted,
brought to a true shape and to an elevation uniformly eight (8) inches
below the established grade and cross sectional contour of the top of
the pavement. Where the soil in the alley consists of sand or sandy
soil incapable of compaction by rolling or tamping, said compaction
• shall be accomplished by thoroughly flooding the subgrade. After
being prepared in the above manner the subgrade shall be so maintained
until the pavement has been placed thereon.
CHECKING AND ACCEPTANCE: Immediately before the pavement is laid,
the subgrade shall be checked by means of an approved template, shaped
on the under side to conform to the lower surface of the finished pave-
ment, or by a method of testing approved by the Board of Local Improve-
ments. All high places shall be removed to true grade and any low places
filled with sandy soil and rolled or hand tamped until smooth and firm.
The subgrade shall be checked and completed in accordance with these re-
quirements for a distance of not less than one hundred (100) feet in
advance of the pavement. If hauling over the subgrade after it has been
finished and checked as specified results in ruts or other such ob-
jectionable irregularities, the contractor shall reroll or hand tamp
the subgrade and place it in smooth and satisfactory condition before
the pavement is deposited upon it. If the condition of the subgrade is
such that it cannot be placed in satisfactory condition to receive the
pavement, paving gall be stcnp?d by the Engineer unless the contractor
provides and hauls over suitable trackways or uses other means for the
protection and maintenance of the subgrade. The cost of subgrade prepara-
tion and all excavation and replacement required by these specifications
shall be included in the unit price bid for Special Excavation.
SEWER CONNECTIONS: All existing connections to the present sewer
shall be protected against damage during the construction of this proposed
improvement. Any connections damaged shall be repaired immediately by
the Contractor at his own expense.
• TRENCH BACKFILL: This item shall consist of furnishing sand or
stone screenings from beyond the limits of this improvement, placing it
where directed by the Engineer and puddling same with water until settle-
ment is complete. It shall be used for backfilling trenches, between
new retaining walls and existing foundation walls, building foundations,
water main excavations and any other cavity which may occur in the area
of this improvement or where the inner edge of a trench is within two
feet of the edge of this improvement.
PORTLAND CEMENT: Portland cement used in Portland Cement Concrete
pavement, Portland Cement Concrete Base Course, Portland Cement Concrete
Curb, Portland Cement Concrete Sidewalk and Class IT' Concrete shall
comply with the requirements of Specifications for Air Entraining Cement

PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENT: Portland Cement Concrete Pave-
ment shall be constructed in accordance with Section 408 of the "Standard
Specifications", except that the final finish shall be obtained by the
• use of two (2) separate burlap drags, having a double thickness, be at
least four (4) feet wide and two (2) feet longer than width of slab under
construction. The burlap shall be attached to a bridge riding on pave-
ment forms and be kept saturated while in use. It shall be laid on the
pavement surface and dragged in the direction pavement is being laid, with
approximately two (2) feet of width in contact with the pavement surface.
The burlap drag shall be kept clean and free of hardened concrete.
The Engineer may require changes in belting, burlapping and equip-
ment to produce desired final surface texture.
Payment for PORTLA.ND CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENT shall be based on
pavement cross section with an eight (8) inch uniform thickness. Contract
unit price for PORTLA.ND CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENT shall include paymenty
for all material, labor and equipment necessary for the construction of
this pavement.
LONGITUDINAL CENTER JOINTS: The concrete pavement shall be built
so as to have a longitudinal center joint. Said longitudinal joint
shall extend along the center line of the pavement the entire length of
the improvement. The joint shall be made by installing a specially built
metal strip which will separate the concrete. The said strip shall be
made of No. 18 gauge sheet steel seven and one-half (72) inches in width,
and shall be delivered on the work in ten (10) foot lengths. Said strip
shall have a trapezoidal corrugation along the center thereof, two and
one-half (22) inches in vertical dimension and one (1) inch in horizon-
tal dimension. Adjoining strips shall butt each other tightly and be
securely fastened by means of metal clips. Said strip shall extend
• vertically from the base of the concrete pavement to one-half (2)
inch below the top of the finished surface of the pavement and shall be
held securely in vertical position to straight alignment, by means of
steel pins, left in place, driven vertically through holes punched
through said strip and not to exceed two and one-half (22) feet centers.
The pins used shall be three -eights (3/8) inch in diameter and not less
than fifteen (15) inches in length. Deformed steel tie bars one-half
(2) inch in diameter and two and one-half (22) feet in length shall be
placed through the longitudinal joint in openings punched for that
purpose, which openings shall be along the center line of said strip
so spaced as not to exceed two and one-half (22) feet centers. Each
bar shall be.'Ield rigidly in horizontal position during the placing of
the concrete by the use of two (2) metal bar chairs driven into the
subgrade. A template shall be used to install the strip vertically to
straight alignment prior to the deposition of the concrete and the joints
shall not be displaced during the finishing operation. Furnishing all
material, labor and equipment for installing of said longitudinal joint
and tie bars shall not be paid for directly, but shall be considered
incidental to the construction of the Portland Cement Concrete Pavement.
- 4 -
TRANSVERSE EXPANSION JOINTS: Transverse expansion joints shall be
placed throughout the entire improvement across the concrete pavement
at right angles to the center thereof and at intervals of one hundred
• (100) feet measured along said center line. The expansion joints shall
be made by placing and leaving in place prior to laying the concrete
mixture for the pavement, a bituminous premoulded joint filler con-
forming to the requirements of Article 715.04 or 715.05 of the "Standard
Specifications." Said joint filler shall be three fourths (3/4) inch
in thickness and shall extend vertically from a point one (1) inch
below the top of the subgrade to a point one half (2) inch below the
finished grade of the pavement. The intervening space between the top
of said joint filler and the finished grade of the pavement shall be
filled with Asphalt P.A.F.-3.
Load transfer across said expansion joints shall be accomplished
by installation of three -fourths (3/4) inch round smooth steel bars
eighteen (18) inches long at fifteen (15) inch centers through said
joint filler, or by other load transfer device approved by the Engineer.
One end of each of said steel bars shall be furnished with a metal or
fibre cap to provide one (1) inch of expansion space. Said steel bars
shall be maintained rigidly in proper alignment by approved means.
All manhole frames and other fixed objects, with the exception of
frames otherwise mentioned in those specifications, shall be separated
from the concrete pavement by a joint filler of the same thickness and
character as hereinbefore specified for expansion joints, which joint
filler shall extend through the entire thickness of the pavement..
Said joint filler shall be placed in such a manner as to form a square
whose sides will be fifteen (15) inches from the upper outside edges
of the frames.
Furnishing all labor, equipment, and materials for installation
of said expansion joints. Load transfer devices and reinforcing steel
shall not be paid for directly, but will be considered incidental to
the construction of the Portland Cement Concrete Pavement.
CONTRACTION JOINTS: Sawed contraction joints or other type of
contraction joints which may be approved by the Engineer, shall be
placed throughout the entire improvement across the concrete pavement
at right angles to the center thereof at intervals of twenty-five (25)
feet between expansion joints and in accordance with the detail shown
on plans.
Furnishing all labor, equipment, and materials for the installa-
tion of said contraction joints including dowel bar assembly shall not
be paid for directly, but will be considered incidental to the con-
struction of the Portland Cement Concrete Pavement.
- 5 -
MIXING AND PLACING CONCRETE: Concrete shall be mixed and placed
in accordance with the requirements of Section 408 of the "Standard
Specifications", insofar as the same may apply. While being placed the
• concrete shall be vigorously sliced and spaded to eliminate voids or
honeycomb pockets. The concrete shall be especially well spaded and
tamped against forms and bulkheads. The concrete shall be struck off,
so that the upper surface shall conform to and be sufficiently higher
than the contour herein specified for the upper surface of the finished
pavement, to give the specified thickness of pavement herein required.
The strike board shall be moved forward with a combined longitudinal and
transverse motion, and so manipulated as to tamp the concrete thoroughly.
A slight excess of material shall be kept in front of the cutting edge
at all times. The entire area of the pavement shall be struck off and
tamped, so executed as to insure maximum compaction.
FINISHED CONCRETE: After the tamping has been completed, the pave-
ipent shall be rubbed smooth of all ridges and depressions and brought
to a true and even surface by the use of wooden floats. A split float,
shaped on the under side to conform to the countour of the pavement,
shall be used for finishing the concrete on both sides of the longitudinal
joints, hereinbefore specified. The edges adjoining the transverse
expansion joint and the form, shall be tooled with an edging tool,
having a radius of one -quarter (k) inch.
After the floating has been completed, the surface of the pavement
shall be tested with a notched straight edge, ten (10) feet in length.
This straight edge shall be placed over the transverse joints and be-
tween the same at frequent intervals, parallel to the center line of
the pavement and moved across from side to side. Any variation in
excess of one-eighth(1/8) inch above or below the general established
contour of the pavement shall be rubbed with a long handled float and
• the irregularities corrected until the straight edge shall show a bearing
for its entire length.
Workmen shall not walk on freshly laid concrete and no one shall be
allowed on the concrete after it has been worked into form and shape
until it has entirely hardened. The entire surfacing of the concrete
pavement shall be done from a bridge, not less than one (1) foot in
width which shall not come in contact with the concrete pavement at
any point. Two (2) of said bridges shall be provided for each concrete
mixing gang. Two bridges shall be maintained in constant readiness to
be immediately moved into position, to provide access for finishing,
tooling and edging joints, adjusting filler and refinishing damaged
portions of the finished surface.
PROTECTION AND CURING: Protection and curing shall comply with
the requirements of Section 408 of the "Standard Specifications".
