CEMENT: All cement used shall be Portland Cement
and shall conform to the "Standard Speci-
fications and Tests for Portland Cement," (Serial Designation
C9_30) of the American Society for Testing Materials.
AGGREGATES: Aggregates shall be clean, well - graded and
water washed. Sand shall, when dry, pass
a one - fourth (1/4) inch screen with not more than thirty per cent
(30%) of the bulk passing a 30 -mesh sieve, nor more than six per
cent (6;%) passing a 100 mesh sieve. Pea gravel and crushed rock
shall be hard, durable, and of a quality satisfactory to the
Engineer. All rock shall pass a two (2) inch screen and not more
than thirty -seven per cent (37 %) shall exceed three - fourths (3/4)
of an inch in diameter. All aggregates shall be free from clay,
loam, mica, organic material, or other impurities. In propor-
tioning the aggregate of the concrete, and in mixing the concrete,
particular care and attention must be given to the relative
coarseness of each part, and where necessary proportions shall
be altered in order that as dense, uniform and workable a mix-
ture as possible may be obtained. The nominal proportion of the
aggregate shall be as specified for each portion of the work.
WATER: Water will be furnished to the Contractor
by the City at the City's expense and at a
location required by the Contractor.
REINFORCEMENT: The Contractor shall furnish and set all
steel required throughout the concrete work,
all of which shall be deformed bars of such shapes and sizes as
are shown on the detailed drawings furnished by the Engineer.
The steel shall be rolled from original billets, of medium
grade, and according to the Standard Specifications of Steel
Manufacturers for reinforcing steel.
The Contractor shall, if required by the Engineer, furnish a
test report on one tensile test and one bending test for each
size of bar, the bars to be tested shall be selected at random
from Contractor's stock pile. The tests shall be made by a re-
cognized laboratory subject to the approval of the Engineer.

Before being imbedded in the concrete, the surface of the
steel shall be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt, rust, oil,
grease or other matter that may be detrimental to the
positive adhesion of the concrete.
All steel intersections shall be tied with 16 gauge annealed
wire. All steel splices shall be lapped 40 diameters and
tied with wire.
EXCAVATION: The price bid for the work is to include
all necessary excavation and backf1111ng
and the disposal of any excess material, broken concrete or
other refuse. The Contractor shall leave the entire area
graded to the elevations shown on the plans.
Extreme care must be exercised in the necessary excavation
for all footings.
CONCRETE: Concrete shall be considered as a homo-
geneous mixture with or without rein -
foroement, as specified and shown on the plans, made up of
cement, aggregates and water properly mixed in an approved
type of batch mixer. The various proportions of this mixture
are specified under the section whose heading is MIX. Pre -mixed
concrete is preferred but not required. Adjustments in the
mix shall be made by the Engineer, on the job, and these will
be mode to insure a more workable mix. The proportions of
cement to aggregate will not be changed in any class of work;
only the various proportions of the various sizes of aggregate
may be changed. In no case shall there be more than six
gallons of water to one sack of cement, or its cubic foot
equivalent of 94 pounds.
MIX: 1part cement to 6 parts aggregate
Walls
Roof s
Floor Slabs
Soffits

1 -part cement to 8 parts aggregate
Footings
FOOTINGS: The footings may be poured against dirt
forms subject to the approval of the
Engineer. In no case shall the soil on which the footings
or tank slabs are to rest, be disturbed. All steel in these
footings is to be placed in accordance with the plans and
securely wired in place.
EXTRA CONCRETE: Should extra concrete be required by
specific written instructions from the
Engineer in the enlargement or deepening of the footings or
increasing the depth of the structure over that called for
on the plans, the Contractor shall furnish such extra concrete
at a unit price as called for in the bid schedule_ No extra
compensation may be claimed unless written instructions have
been received by the Contractor prior to the pour.
FORMS: The Engineer will set grade hubs and will
check the elevations of all form work, and
no concrete is to be placed until forms have been checked by
the Engineer.
The walls and roofs of the structure shall be completely formed,
and all forms are to be accurately centered, true, rigid and
thoroughly braced. They shall be of sufficient strength to
carry the entire dead weight of the construction as a liquid
without deflection. As the walls of the pit are not to be
plastered, special care shall be taken in laying up the form
boards so as to obtain straight and as small ,points as possible.
These form boards shall be sized to both width and thickness.
The walls are to be constructed with forms on both sides. No
concrete will be allowed to be poured against earth banks
except in the footings. All forms and shoring shall be kept
r
in place until, in the ,judgment of the Engineer, the con-
crete shall have attained sufficient strength to resist
accidental thrust and other loads that may come upon it, and
In no case shall their removal be sooner than seven ( ?) days.
All wall forms shall have a removeable section for cleaning
out and inspection. All wall steel shall be wired and
secured to the outside form. Where it is necessary to wire
the inside form, those wires may pass to the steel only.
In no case shall the forms be tied with wires passing through
the concrete wall.
PLACING OF CONCRETE WALLS: Before concreting, all forme
shall be carefully and thoroughly
cleaned of all sawdust, chips, and refuse. Immediately pre-
vious to the placing of concrete, all forms shall be thoroughly
soaked with water.
The concrete shall thoroughly fill the forms, must be solid
throughout, and in close contact with the steel reinforcement.
It must be deposited continuously in uniform layers not over
12" in depth.
The concrete shall be thoroughly tamped, special care being
given to the tamping on both sides of the steel reinforcements
to insure against stone pockets being formed against the forms
and the displacement of the reinforcement. Power vibrators
are desirable, but not required. Noticeable voids or stone
pockets discovered when the forms are removed shall be Imme-
diately filled with mortar mixed in the same proportion as
the mortar in the concrete.
The walls of the pit must be poured continuously in a single
run in order that any horizontal construction point between
the footing and the roof will be avoided.
5-
No concrete shall be placed in the wall until the reinforce-
ment has been inspected and approved by the Engineer.
BOTTOM SLAB: The bottom slab shall be poured in a
continuous pour and the Contractor shall
so plan the placement of this material that there will be no
cold construction joint. The ton of the slab shall be care -
fully screened to true grade and then shall receive a steel
trowel finish.
The reinforcing mesh installed In the slab shall be handled
in such a manner during the pouring of the slab that it is
imbedded as nearly as possible half way between the bottom
and top of the slab.
SUMPS: The sump in the pit shall be poured as
an integral part of the floor slab. No
construction or expansion joint in or around the sump will
be permitted.
DAMAGE. CURE_, ETC.: Work must be protected from any damage
resulting from temperature changes, or
from the action of the elements at any time, and any damage
from these or other pauses must be properly and promptly
rl- repaired by the Contractor at his own expanse.
All work must be kept wet to the satisfaction of the Engineer
for at least seven (7) days after being placed.
EXPANSION JOINTS: The expansion joints in the structure shall
be between the floor slab and the walls.
Expansion joints shall be made of materials furnished by the
Inertol Co., or the Aquatite Company, in the following manner:
wood form strips of 2" materials, surfaced four sides to a
trapesoidal section of height equal to the thickness of the
floor slab and bases equal to 1_1/2" and 3/4" respectively are
to be placed with roofing paper wrapping as shown on the plans.
6-
As concrete is poured it shall be carefully spaded at the
forms to insure no rock pockets. Forms are to be removed as
soon as concrete has initial set. Paper used around forms
shall be left in joint space to aid in keeping out dirt and
foreign matter.
The Contractor at his option may suggest an alternate method
of forming these joints, but a width of3 /4" at the bottom and
1 -1/2" at the top must be maintained.
When concrete has completely cured, joint space is to be
thoroughly cleaned of all foreign matter and painted thoroughly
to at least 3" each side of the joint with primer solution as
manufactured by the company whose expansion joint material is
to be used. Oakum saturated with primer is to be then caulked
into joint until the joint is at least one -half full. The
remaining joint space is then to be filled and rounded to 1/4"
above the floor slab with the mastic compound.
PIPE CONNECTIONS: Before concreting, the Contractor shall
set in the walls pipes furnished by the
City all as shown on the plans. The accurate position and
location of these pipes shall be maintained during concreting.
STRUCTURAL STEEL: All I -beams called for in the plans
shall be placed accurately and with positive
bearing on bearing plates as specified and shall be wrapped
with 2" wire mesh before being encased in concrete, when so
indicated on the plans.
SIDEWALK DOORS: The sidewalk entrance door to the pit shall
be an approved type of double sidewalk
door, water proofed with drain, of a type to finish flush
with the surface, and as manufactured by the Apex Steel
Corporation or equal.

steps coated with red -lead, asphaltum
or coal tar paint, shall be imbedded in the concrete from
the manhole openings to the bottom of the pit as shown on
the plans.
PUMP FOUNDATIONS_ Foundations for the pumps as shown
on the plans are a part of this contract,
and will be poured at the same time as the floor slab.
MISCELLANEOUS: The Contractor shall furnish and
install certain bolts, connectors and
fittings as shown on plans.
