COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Nick Ledin, Garner Moffat, Tylor Elm, Joe Radtke (alt.) 1. ROLL CALL Members Present: Nick Ledin, Garner Moffat, Tylor Elm, Joe Radtke City Staff Present: Chris Carlson, Kara Czapinski, Jim Paine, Dave Pollock, Others Present: Brent Gunderson, Shelley Nelson, Dan Olson, Bill Fennessy, Jeff Goetzman 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 2.1. Public Works Committee (Meeting held April 2, 2026) MOTION by Moffat, second by Elm and carried to approve the minutes from April 2, 2026. 3. OLD BUSINESS 3.1. Discussion of a report submitted by Raftelis Financial Consultants evaluating the acquisition of utilities operated by Superior, Water, Light & Power. Mayor Paine reported that there have been no major updates since the last meeting concerning the evaluation by Raftelis Financial consultants on the acquisition of utilities, and this topic will continue to be a regular agenda item for updates. He announced plans for a series of public information sessions, including town halls and informal debates, to communicate findings to the public, with an initial emphasis on the water utility due to the complexities and incomplete nature of the electric and gas reports. Paine noted that the acquisitions of electric and gas utilities are more intricate than that of water, citing factors such as supply sources, the scale of the network, and infrastructure that extends beyond city boundaries, which contribute to a longer timeline for the final reports. The committee deliberated on whether to conduct joint or separate public meetings for all three utilities, with Paine underscoring the importance of obtaining council input and additional information before making any recommendations. 3.2. Recommendation to approve Chapter 58, Article IV Recyclable Waste Materials Ordinance revisions. Director Carlson indicated that the revisions to the ordinance clearly specify that polystyrene foam is not recyclable and detail which plastic numbers are excluded, thereby ensuring the city's recycling program complies with state regulations. These modifications primarily serve to clarify existing documentation and do not change the current recycling practices. [20260519R 8] PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE – 5/07/2026 Meeting (Meets monthly on 1st Thursday at 5 p.m.) Page 2 of 4 *Attended virtually MOTION by Elm, second by Moffat and carried to approve Chapter 58, Article IV Recyclable Waste Materials Ordinance revisions. 4. NEW BUSINESS 4.1. Election of Officers 4.1.1. Election of Chair MOTION by Elm, second by Moffat and carried to nominate Nick Ledin as Chair. 4.1.2. Election of Vice-Chair MOTION by Ledin, second by Elm and carried to nominate Garner Moffat as Vice-Chair. 4.2. Recommendation to award the Woodstock Sanitary Sewer Improvements project to Pember Companies for $678,221.60. Dave Pollock indicated that the project entails the replacement of approximately 1,800 linear feet of deteriorating sanitary sewer across four segments. This initiative faces several challenges, including narrow streets, limited right-of-way, and the need to maintain traffic flow. MSA Professional Services has proposed a trenchless pipe bursting method, which is advantageous for minimizing pavement disruption and is well-suited to the area's clay soils and curved sewer alignments. During discussions, members expressed concerns regarding the choice between patching small pavement areas and implementing full overlays. Staff clarified that any patched sections would be restored to meet city standards, with the possibility of future overlays if necessary. The committee also reviewed competitive bids and noted that the chosen contractor employs a different subcontractor for the pipe bursting process. Staff assured that this subcontractor has a history of satisfactory performance, alleviating any concerns about the selection. The new pipes are anticipated to have a lifespan of 50 years or more, significantly improving upon the original infrastructure, which dates back to the 1920s, and building on recent sewer replacements in the vicinity following previous collapses. MOTION by Elm, second by Moffat and carried to award the Woodstock Sanitary Sewer Improvements project to Pember Companies for $678,221.60. Bill Fennessey left the meeting at 5:22 p.m. 4.3. Recommendation to award Sanitary Sewer Televising Services 2026 Sanitary District 1 & 2 to Absolute Pipe for $37,488.00. Pollock indicated that the regulations set by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources mandate an annual inspection of 7.2 miles of sewer lines, with a comprehensive review required every ten years across all districts. This particular contract pertains to a section that is due for inspection and is also affected by forthcoming bridge construction. The committee [20260519R 9] PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE – 5/07/2026 Meeting (Meets monthly on 1st Thursday at 5 p.m.) Page 3 of 4 *Attended virtually deliberated on the possibility of conducting these inspections internally; however, staff highlighted that only minor, reactive inspections are feasible in-house due to constraints related to equipment and staffing. MOTION by Moffat, second by Ledin and carried to award Sanitary Sewer Televising Services 2026 Sanitary District 1 & 2 to Absolute Pipe for $ 37,488.00. 4.4. Recommendation to award the 2026 Sidewalk Replacement contract to Duluth Concrete LLC. for $270,816.15. Director Carlson announced that the contract encompasses sidewalk replacements throughout the city, focusing on key connections at Hill Avenue and Henry Cohen Drive, along with enhancements to bus stop accessibility. The selection of sidewalks for replacement is based on their condition ratings, the need to close gaps, prioritization of high- traffic areas, and feedback from the public. Residents are encouraged to report any sidewalk issues for evaluation. Additionally, a separate initiative will tackle tripping hazards by grinding down uneven sidewalk edges, particularly in the Tower Avenue vicinity, with a contractor set to undertake this work during the summer. MOTION by Elm, second by Moffat and carried to award the 2026 Sidewalk Replacement contract to Duluth Concrete LLC. for $270,816.15. Brett Gunderson left the meeting at 5:27 p.m. 4.5. Recommendation to approve the revised State Municipal Financial Agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the 2032 Tower Avenue Improvement project from N64th Street to Belknap Street. Director Carlson announced that the 2032 project encompasses a mill and overlay, concrete repairs, sidewalk replacements, and upgrades to traffic signals, with the agreement subject to ongoing modifications as design specifics are finalized. This state-managed initiative will see the Department of Transportation oversee the bidding and construction phases, while the city will bear certain expenses related to parking lanes, sidewalks, and landscaping, with cost distributions being adjusted as the project evolves. Public feedback highlighted worries about the worsening condition of roads and the possibility of accelerating repairs ahead of bridge closures. City staff addressed these concerns, outlining the difficulties in hastening the work and the potential for transferring financial burdens from the state to the city. Mayor Paine acknowledged that an interim project could be feasible if conditions deteriorate further, but emphasized that it would necessitate prioritization and budget adjustments from the council, noting that the city has previously undertaken similar projects when required. MOTION by Moffat, second by Elm and carried to approve the revised State Municipal Financial Agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the 2032 Tower Avenue Improvement project from N64th Street to Belknap Street. [20260519R 10] PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE – 5/07/2026 Meeting (Meets monthly on 1st Thursday at 5 p.m.) Page 4 of 4 *Attended virtually 4.6. Recommendation to approve the State Municipal Agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for Carbon Reduction Program funding to support Emergency Vehicle Preemption. Director Carlson announced that the city has secured a grant from the Carbon Reduction Program, which will cover the materials needed for Emergency Vehicle Preemption at 21 intersections. The city will finance the installation of the required signal equipment. This arrangement will guarantee full preemption for police and fire vehicles, with secondary priority access granted to transit and other eligible vehicles. MOTION by Elm, second by Moffat and carried to approve the State Municipal Agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for Carbon Reduction Program funding to support Emergency Vehicle Preemption. 4.7. Notice of Surplus Equipment Auction Sales. – Received and filed. 5. RECURRING BUSINESS 5.1 ESD Director’s Update – Received and filed. ESD successfully managed a significant rainfall event without any overflows, thanks to efficient emergency operations and infrastructure management. The primary concern arose at Elm St., where a deteriorating culvert led to localized flooding. Plans are in place to replace this culvert in the upcoming budget cycle to mitigate future issues. Director Update – 5.1.1 Bids for the replacement of lead service lines in the Midtown area are due May 8th. This project operates under a tight schedule, necessitating direct approval from the council by May 31st to meet grant stipulations. 5.1.2 Tower Avenue, situated between Belknap Street and North 28th Street, is progressing well ahead of the planned overlay. The plan is to have the contractor address the lead service line installation before proceeding with this work. 5.2 Future Agenda Items 5.2.1 Discuss Water Utility Acquisition 5.3 Confirm the next meeting date as June 4, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. in Room 204 of the Government Center. 6 ADJOURNMENT Councilor Ledin announced the meeting adjourned at 6:01 p.m. Respectfully submitted by Kara Czapinski [20260519R 11] [20260519R 12] [20260519R 13] CONTRACT VOLUME & BIDDING DOCUMENT- 2026 Woodstock Sanitary Sewer Improvements CITY OF SUPERIOR, WISCONSIN Public Works Director Chris Carlson – Director Environmental Services Division of Public Works Steve Roberts – Director David Pollock – Collection Systems Engineering & Operations Manager Bid #26-11-ESD Project Code: 26WOOD [20260519R 14] Woodstock Sanitary Sewer Improvements 2 Table of Contents 1.

Each test shall consist of four (4) cylinders; one (1) to be tested at seven (7) days, two (2) to be tested at twenty-eight (28) days, and one (1) to be a spare. Compliance testing shall be performed on every single load, or portion thereof, where water addition to the single load, or portion thereof, takes place on site. A minimum of one (1) test shall be performed per day for each class of concrete placed. CONDITIONS OF COMPLIANCE AND NON-COMPLIANCE Compliance of Contractor’s Materials Used in the Work. To conform to the requirements of this specification, every 28-day test representing each mix must be equal to or greater than the specified minimum strength without exception. If a specimen shows manifest evidence of improper sampling, molding, or testin g, it will be disregarded. Note, [20260519R 95] Project #00628072 01 45 16.11-4 Concrete Quality Control © 2026 MSA Professional Services, Inc. however, that the anticipated strength for all mixes is appreciably above the specified minimum strength due to quality required by the water-cement ratio specified. Non-Compliance of Contractor’s Materials Used in the Work When strength is used as the basis for acceptance, should individual tests of the Contractor’s specimens produce strengths less than 90% of the specified strength (f’c), tests of cores drilled from the area in question may be required in accordance with ASTM C42. Three cores shall be taken for each cylinder test less than 90% of the specified strength (f’c). If the concrete in the structure will be dry under service conditions, the cores shall be air dried (temperature 60 to 80F, relative humidity less than 60 percent) for seven (7) days before test and shall be tested dry. If the concrete in the structure will be more than superficially wet under service conditions, the cores shall be immersed in water for at least 48 hours and tested wet. Concrete represented by the core tests will be considered structurally adequate and meet the requirements of this specification if the average of the three cores is equal to at least 95 percent of the specified strength (f’c) and if no single core is less than 90 percent of f’c. To check testing accuracy, locations represented by erratic core strengths may be retested. If these strength acceptance criteria are not met by the core tests, the Engineer shall order appropriate action at no additional cost to the Owner.

Addition of Water to the Batch. Addition of water to the batch delivered to the site shall be in strict accordance with ASTM C94. This shall be the Contractor’s responsibility and by their direction, following consultation with the Engineer. Addition of water to the batch shall be one time only. Total gallons of water added to the batch shall be recorded on the load ticket, which shall be supplied to the Engineer prior to that delivery truck leaving the site. If water is permitted to be added to mixed concrete upon arrival at the job, an additional mixing of 30 revolutions of the drum shall be required. Contractor shall adjust the water -cement ratio of the batch to the corresponding value based on the addition of water to the batch and shall submit this information to the Engineer with adjusted strength data for the final batch proportion. At no time shall the addition of water cause the water-cement ratio specified in the concrete class schedule to be exceeded. GENERAL Unless otherwise specified, conform to ACI 304, 305, and 306 for concrete installation requirements such as preparation, mixing, conveying, depositing, curing, and cold and hot weather requirements; consolidate concrete in accordance with ACI 309. Concrete not placed within 90 minutes or 300 revolutions, whichever occurs first, after the first mixing of the cement and aggregates will be rejected. Contractor shall indicate on record set of Drawings at site, for review prior to installation, a pouring program for concrete work showing unit of operation, method of pouring, installation of construction/control joints, expansion joints and all necessary work. Proper grade marker or stakes shall be used by Contractor to establish grades for ramps, platforms, sidewalks, slopes to drains, inlets, etc. Trenches, forms, conveying equipment shall be prepared to receive concrete in accordance with ACI 304. Place concrete footings upon undistributed clean surfaces, free from frost, ice, mud and water; when foundation is on dry soil or pervious material, lay waterproof sheathing paper over earth surfaces to receive concrete. Rock surfaces upon which concrete is to be placed, make level, clean, free from all objectionable coatings, water, mud, debris, loose semi -detached or unsound fragments; level surfaces to receive sand cushion placed to minimum thickness of 2 inches. Immediately after placement, protect concrete from premature drying, excessively hot or cold temperature and mechanical injury; maintain with minimum moisture loss and relatively constant temperature for the period necessary for hydration of the cement and hardening of the concrete. [20260519R 117] Project #00628072 03 30 00-6 Cast-in-Place Concrete © 2026 MSA Professional Services, Inc. All freshly cast concrete shall be protected from damaging effects of the elements freezing, rapid drop in temperature and loss of moisture and from future construction operations. PREPARATION OF EQUIPMENT AND PLACE OF DEPOSIT Before placement, clean equipment for mixing and transporting the concrete; remove debris and ice from all surfaces upon which concrete is placed; clean reinforcement of dirt, loose rust, and mill scale, or other coatings. Remove water from all areas before depositing concrete; before depositing new concrete on or against concrete that has set, thoroughly roughen; clean existing surfaces of laitance, foreign matter or loose particles; retighten forms; slush existing surfaces with neat cement grout coat; place new concrete before grout has attained initial set; give horizontal construction joints grout brush coat of cement, fine aggregate, in same proportions as concrete to be placed. Thoroughly wet the stone base on which slabs are to be placed where no vapor barrier is indicated. Check compaction of fill and proper grade for slabs-on-grade. Check screeds and exercise care to prevent disturbing screeds during placement. Provide for construction joints in slabs-on-grade at 20 feet maximum in each direction unless shown otherwise on the contract drawings. Place expansion joint material at junctures of slabs-on-grade with vertical walls and as otherwise shown. Remove debris, excess form oil, and water from formwork; avoid washing newly deposited concrete. MIXING Ready-mixed concrete shall be mixed and delivered in accordance with ASTM C94 and ACI 304. The production facilities shall comply with the requirements of the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association Certification Plan as regards materials storage and handling, batching equipment, central mixer, truck mixers, agitators, non-agitating units, ticketing system, etc. Do not over-mix; do not use concrete which is retained in mixers so long as to require additional water in excess of design mix water to permit satisfactory placing; retempering of mix is not permitted. Concrete shall be delivered to the site of the work and the mixed concrete discharged completely within 1- 1/2 hours after water has been added to cement. In hot weather, or under conditions contributing to quick stiffening of concrete, this time may be reduced by the Engineer. Concrete delivered shall arrive at the site having a temperature not less than 50 Degrees F nor greater than 85 Degrees F, unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer. CONVEYING Convey concrete from the mixer to the final deposit by methods that will prevent segregation or loss of materials. Use of aluminum conveyances is not permitted. CONCRETE PLACEMENT Place concrete, including drops greater than 60 inches using recommended practices in accordance with ACI 304 and ACI 318. Once pouring operation commences, it shall be carried out as a continuous operation until a section is completed. Deposit concrete as nearly as practical in its final position to avoid segregation due to rehandling or flowing; do not use vibrators to move concrete horizontally within the forms. Do not use retempered concrete or concrete contaminated by foreign material. [20260519R 118] Project #00628072 03 30 00-7 Cast-in-Place Concrete © 2026 MSA Professional Services, Inc. Plan and conduct concrete placement to ensure that the concrete is kept plastic and that the concrete is free of cold joints. Where there is a time delay greater than 45-minutes between adjacent concrete placement, a bulkhead construction joint, complete with waterstops where required, must be installed. Do not commence placing when the sun, heat, wind or limitations of facilities provided prevent proper finishing or curing. Discontinue concreting when the descending natural air temperature falls lower than 40 Degrees Fahrenheit unless preparations are made and in place to heat or insulate concrete in accordance with the cold weather concreting requirements of this specification. Concrete shall not be placed or poured in water. Water level shall be removed or lowered in a manner approved by Engineer. Excess water shall not be permitted. Powdering a mixture of cement to absorb excess water shall not be permitted. Concrete shall be placed before initial set has occurred. Placing should be carried on in such manner that the concrete in the form is still plastic and can be integrated with fresh concrete. Contractor shall notify Engineer of concrete pouring schedule one day in advance of pour to allow for inspection of reinforcing and forms. Bottom dump buckets may be used for transporting mixed concrete to the desired location. Particular care shall be taken to avoid jarring or bumping as this may cause segregation. Where chutes are used to transport concrete, they shall be of metal or wood with metal lining and should have a slope not exceeding 1 vertical to 2 horizontal and not less than 1 vertical to 3 horizontal so that the concrete will travel fast enough to keep the chute clean but slow enough to avoid segregation of materials. The end of each chute shall be provided with a baffle to help prevent segregation, or the concrete should be discharged through a tremie or elephant trunk directly into the form. Elephant trunks and/or tremies shall be used in walls and columns to prevent free fall of the concrete and to allow the concrete to be placed through the cage of reinforcing steel. Pumping equipment shall be of suitable type, without Y -sections, and with adequate pumping capacity. Loss of slump in pumping shall not exceed 1-1/2 inches. CONSOLIDATION Each concrete layer placed shall be compacted by mechanical internal vibrating equipment supplemented by hand spading, rodding, or tamping. The period of concrete vibration shall not be less than two seconds nor more than five seconds at any one point. Consolidate concrete thoroughly as it is placed in order to secure a dense mass; work concrete well around the reinforcement and embedded items and into the corners of the forms. Use internal vibrators inserted vertically over the entire area of the placement; form vibrators not permitted; internal vibrators shall maintain a minimum of 5000 impulses when submerged in concrete. Vibrate until voids are eliminated, coarse aggregate is suspended in mortar, and entrapped air bubbles begin to rise to the surface; concrete should move back into the space vacated by the vibrator; vibration duration shall be limited only to the time necessary to produce consolidation without causing segregation. Space vibrator insertions such that the area visibly affected by the vibrator overlaps the adjacent just- vibrated area by a few inches. [20260519R 119] Project #00628072 03 30 00-8 Cast-in-Place Concrete © 2026 MSA Professional Services, Inc. Penetrate at least 6 inches into previously placed layers in order to bond between layers and avoid cold joints. Take care not to over-vibrate air entrained concrete; place vibrator to eliminate honeycombing but avoid excess vibrating that bleeds all entrapped air from the mix. Do not use vibrators to transport concrete. JOINTS Construct expansion, control, and isolation joints only where indicated on the drawings or at additional locations approved by the Engineer (and as shown on the Standard Details). Where the placing of concrete is discontinued, clean off laitance and other objectionable material to a sufficient depth to expose sound concrete as soon as concrete is firm enough to retain its form; smooth the top surface of concrete adjacent to the forms with a trowel to minimize visible joints on exposed faces. Immediately upon completion of the work of placing concrete, remove accumulations splashed upon the reinforcement and the surfaces of the forms; perform this removal before concrete takes its initial set; clean reinforcing steel carefully to prevent damage to the concrete steel bond. Do not halt work within 18 inches of the top of any face. For bonded horizontal joint construction, roughen the surface and expose the aggregate; clean the surface thoroughly by wet sandblasting, by cutting with high- pressure water jet or by other approved methods; perform cleaning after the concrete has hardened to prevent raveling of the surface below the desired depth. Construction and contraction joints shall be constructed with interfaces roughened to 1/4-inch amplitude, cleaned and laitance removed. Before bonding concrete is placed, clean the surface of loose or soft particles or other objectionable materials and keep wet for a minimum period of 12 hours. Cover the cleaned and saturated surface with a coating of neat cement grout and deposit new concrete before the grout has attained its initial set. CURING Concrete shall be wet cured by immersion of moisture-retaining covers in conformance with ACI 308 or shall receive curing compound in accordance with ACI 309. Water curing is the preferred method of protection for curing concrete; cover exposed surfaces with a saturated material (burlap or cotton mats) and keep wet continuously with a soil soaker hose for 7 curing days for all concrete except high early strength concrete; leave covering in place, without wetting, for an additional 3 days. A curing day is defined as 24-hour day when the concrete surfaces are kept moist and the uniform temperature of the concrete mass is between 55 Degrees Fahrenheit and 75 Degrees Fahrenheit. Curing shall start as soon as free surface water disappears after finishing. Where forms are not removed immediately, curing shall be accomplished in a manner acceptable to the Engineer. Curing compounds may not be used on surfaces that are to receive additional concrete, paint or tile, unless approved by the manufacturer for such use. Curing and sealing compound shall not be applied to steel reinforcing anchors, water stops, construction joints, or surfaces to be bonded to other concrete. [20260519R 120] Project #00628072 03 30 00-9 Cast-in-Place Concrete © 2026 MSA Professional Services, Inc. When using a curing compound, keep surfaces moist after the forms are removed. Preferred sequence: Remove forms in accordance with 03 11 13 Structural Cast-In-Place Concrete Forming of this specification: apply curing compound according to manufacturer’s recommendations (if manufacture allows pre-finishing application); repair form tie holes; finish surface. Alternate sequence (if manufacturer does not allow pre- finishing application): Remove forms in accordance with 03 11 13 Structural Cast-In-Place Concre te Forming of this specification; repair form tie holes; finish surface; apply curing compound according to manufacturer’s recommendations. Slabs: Immediately following slab finishing, begin water curing before the surface becomes dry or apply liquid membrane-forming curing compound. For curing concrete under hot weather conditions, see Hot Weather Requirements in this section. For curing concrete under cold weather conditions, see Cold Weather Requirements in this section. CONCRETE SLAB FINISHING Complete screeding and darbying slabs before excess moisture or bleeding water is present on the surface. Do not begin subsequent finishing operations until surface water has disappeared and the concrete will sustain foot pressure with only approximately 1/4 inch indentation. Refer to Concrete Schedule, included in this specification section, for finish type at each location, defined as follows: Smooth Float Finish: (Type S1) Consolidate concrete with a power -driven disc -type float or a combination floating - troweling machine with metal float shoes attached. Machines which have a water attachment for wetting the concrete during the finishing operation are prohibited. Check and level surface plane to a tolerance not exceeding 1/4 inch in 10 feet when tested with a 10-foot straightedge. Cut down high spots and fill low spots; immediately after re- leveling, refloat surface to a uniform, smooth, granular texture. Where slab drainage is indicated, take care to maintain accurate slopes for drainage. Steel Troweled Finish: (Type S2) Produce a Smooth Float Finish S1. After float finishing, steel trowel surface as specified in Concrete Schedule to increase the compaction of fines and to provide maximum density and wear resistance. Steel Troweled Finish: Screed and bull float or darby. Give preliminary float finish, true, even and free from depressions; float surface with hand or machine floats; compact surface with not less than 2 thorough and complete steel troweling operations. Tolerance on finished steel troweled floors in no instance shall exceed 1/8 inch in 10’-0” on surface; where floor drains occur, slope floors to drains. Buffing: After concrete floors have been properly cured, buff thoroughly to remove soluble salt incrustation or other foreign substances. Integral Finishes: (Type S3) Use for slabs where some material other than concrete will be the final wearing surface. Screeded Finish - Place screed blocks at frequent intervals and strike off to surface elevations desired; unless otherwise indicated, use on base slabs upon which grout finish, regular mortar bed ceramic tile, sand cushion terrazzo or similar type wearing surface is applied. Broom Finish: (Type S4) Produce Smooth Float Finish S1. Draw stiff broom over surface, to obtain non-slip finish. At Sidewalks, produce a medium-coarse broom finish. At all other areas produce a fine broom finish. For slabs with synthetic fiber (fiber mesh) reinforcement, broom in one direction only, with a consistent sweeping motion to align the fibers with the broom texture. Abrasive Aggregate Non-slip Finish: (Type S5) [20260519R 121] Project #00628072 03 30 00-10 Cast-in-Place Concrete © 2026 MSA Professional Services, Inc. Screed and float concrete to the required finish level with no coarse aggregate visible. Uniformly sprinkle abrasive aggregate over the floated surface at a rate of not less than 1/4-pound per square foot. Steel trowel surface to a smooth even finish, uniform in texture and appearance and free from blemishes, including trowel marks. Immediately after curing remove cement coating covering the abrasive aggregate by steel brushing, rubbing with an abrasive stone or sandblasting to expose abrasive particles. Hardener Floor Treatment: (Type S6) Hardener shall be installed in strict accordance with manufacturer’s printed instructions; experienced workmen shall apply hardener at a minimum of 45 pounds per 100 square feet. CONCRETE SIDEWALKS Concrete sidewalk construction shall be as specified in Concrete Sidewalks, Steps, and Driveways - Division 32 of these specifications. CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER Concrete curb and gutter construction shall be as specified in Concrete Curb and Gutter - Division 32 of these specifications. HOT WEATHER REQUIREMENTS Comply with ACI 305R unless otherwise specified herein below. Hot weather conditions are deemed to exist when the temperature in the forms is 75 Degrees Fahrenheit or above, or a combination of high air temperature, low relative humidity and wind velocity impair the quality of fresh or hardened concrete; take protective measures for mixing, transporting and placing concrete in accordance with ACI 305R. The temperature of the concrete at the place of discharge may not exceed 85 Degrees Fahrenheit. If ice is used to lower temperature, place crushed, shaved or chipped ice directly into the mixer as part or all of the mixing water; mix until ice is completely melted. Record the concrete temperature at the time of discharge. Do not add water that will cause the proportions to exceed the maximum water-cement ratio shown in Table I. Notify the Engineer before adding any water to the concrete mix. Record the amount of water added to the concrete at the jobsite. Discharge concrete within 45 minutes or 100 revolutions, whichever occurs first, after the first mixing of cement and aggregates. Placing and Curing: Place concrete promptly upon arrival. Provide at least one standby vibrator for each 3 vibrators in use. Protect concrete from direct sunlight; keep forms covered and moist by means of water sprinkling or the application of continuously wetted burlap or cotton mats for a minimum of 24 hours. Windbreaks and/or sunshades shall be provided as directed by the Engineer. When forms are removed, provide wet cover to the newly exposed surfaces to avoid exposure to hot sun and wind. Continue specified water curing methods for 10 days; leave covering in place 4 additional days; do not permit alternate wetting and drying cycles. For slabs on grade, beam and deck concrete, and other horizontal placements protect the surface between finishing operations using one or more of the following methods: Careful use of a fog nozzle. Spreading and removing polyethylene sheeting between finishing operations. [20260519R 122] Project #00628072 03 30 00-11 Cast-in-Place Concrete © 2026 MSA Professional Services, Inc. Application of mono-molecular film after the strike-off. During extremes in weather, floor slabs shall not be cast unless the slab is protected by a roof and other suitable protective measures are provided. After curing has been completed, the floor shall be exposed to the air for 48 hours prior to allowing traffic on the floors. COLD WEATHER REQUIREMENTS Comply with ACI 306.1 (R2002) unless otherwise specified herein below. Cold weather is defined any time when the daily temperature is 40 Degrees Fahrenheit or lower during placement and the protection period. If at any time during the progress of the work, the temperature drops below 40 Degrees F., the Contractor shall make suitable provisions to protect the concrete by use of insulation materials such as blankets, mats, etc., and equipment for providing artificial heat. Combustion type temporary heating devices shall be vented outside of any temporary enclosure and building envelope. Combustion gases shall not be allowed in any temporary enclosure and building envelope. Protect concrete surfaces from freezing for at least 24 hours after placement. All surfaces in contact with newly-placed concrete including formwork, reinforcement and subgrade must be above 35 Degrees Fahrenheit. Use preparation methods capable of producing concrete with a temperature not more than 85 Degrees Fahrenheit, and not less than 55 Degrees Fahrenheit, at the time of placement. Do not heat concrete ingredients to a temperature higher than that necessary to keep the temperature of the mixed concrete, as placed, within the specified temperatures. (Do not heat water in excess of 140 Degrees Fahrenheit.) Concrete shall have a temperature of not less than 55 Degrees Fahrenheit when placed; mix concrete at a temperature between: 60 Degrees Fahrenheit and 70 Degrees Fahrenheit when outside air temperature is above 30 Degrees Fahrenheit. 65 Degrees Fahrenheit and 75 Degrees Fahrenheit when outside air temperature is between 0 Degrees Fahrenheit and 30 Degrees Fahrenheit. 70 Degrees Fahrenheit and 80 Degrees Fahrenheit when outside air temperature is below 0 Degrees Fahrenheit. Follow concrete placement with tarpaulins or other readily movable coverings, so only a few feet of concrete is exposed to the outside air at any time. Maintain the temperature and moisture conditions specified in all parts of the newly placed concrete by covering, insulating, housing or heating; arrange for protection methods in advance of placement. Maintain concrete at a temperature of not less than 55 Degrees Fahrenheit nor more than 70 Degrees Fahrenheit for a period of 3 days after placement. A thermometer accurate to plus or minus 2 Degrees F shall be placed under the curing blanket. Additional insulation shall be supplied as required to maintain the temperature above 55 Degrees F. After the curing period, the temperature of the exposed surface shall not be permitted to drop faster than 30 Degrees F in 24 hours. Do not remove forms during the initial protection period. [20260519R 123] Project #00628072 03 30 00-12 Cast-in-Place Concrete © 2026 MSA Professional Services, Inc. Protect insulation against wetting that will impair its insulating value using moisture -proof cover material; keep insulation in close contact with concrete. Construct enclosure to withstand wind and snow loads and be reasonably airtight; provide sufficient space between the concrete and enclosure to permit free circulation of heated air. Use vented heaters; do not permit heaters to heat or dry concrete locally. Unvented salamanders or other heaters which produce carbon dioxide as by-products shall not be permitted within enclosures or inside buildings. If heaters are used, precautions shall be taken to prevent drying of the slab through the use of water jackets or other suitable methods. Maintain relative humidity above 40% within heated enclosures before construction supports are removed. Monitor temperature to ensure concrete is kept within specified limits recording time and concrete temperature every 8 hours. Assure concrete has developed necessary strength before removing forms; provide additional test cylinders with the same protection as the structure they represent to verify concrete strength before construction supports are removed. If water curing is used, terminate at least 12- hours before end of temperature protection period. Permit concrete to dry. After the required protection period gradually reduce the concrete temperature within an enclosure or insulation at a rate not to exceed 20 Degrees Fahrenheit per day until the outside temperature has been reached. Apply membrane forming curing compound to concrete surfaces during the first period of above -freezing temperatures after forms are stripped and before air temperature rises to 50 Degrees Fahrenheit; apply membrane forming curing compound to slabs as soon as finishing operations are completed, except where live steam curing is used. DELIVERY TICKETS With each load of concrete delivered to the job there shall be furnished by the ready- mixed concrete producer duplicate delivery tickets, one for the Contractor and one for the Engineer.

Grading shall be done as may be necessary to prevent surface water from flowing into trenches or other excavations and any water accumulated therein shall be removed by pumping or by other approved methods. Sheeting and shoring shall be placed as may be necessary for the protection of the work and for the safety of personnel. Unless otherwise indicated, excavation shall be by open cut. Trench Excavation. Trenches shall be of the necessary width for proper laying of pipe and shall conform to WAC requirements. The banks of pipe trenches shall conform to OSHA requirements and the Contractor is responsible for all safety requirements of said codes. Care shall be taken not to overexcavate. The bottom of the trenches shall be accurately graded to provide uniform bearing and support for each section of the pipe. Bell holes and depressions for joints shall be dug after the trench bottom has been graded, and in order that the pipe rest on the prepared bottom for as nearly its full length as practicable, bell holes and depressions shall be only of such length, depth, and width as required for properly making the particular type of joint. Stones shall be removed as necessary to avoid point bearing. Except as hereinafter specified for wet or other unstable material, overdepths shall be backfilled as and with materials specified for, backfilling the lower portion of trenches. Whenever wet or otherwise unstable material that is incapable of properly supporting the pipe is encountered in the bottom of the trench, such material shall be overexcavated to a depth to allow for construction of a stable pipe bedding. The trench shall be backfilled to the proper grade with suitable approved materials. Trench Width. The width of the trench at and below the top of the pipe shall be such that the clear space between the barrel of the pipe and the trench wall shall not be less than 6 inches nor exceed 8 inches on either side of the pipe, unless otherwise approved by the Engineer in writing. The width of the trench above that level shall be as wide as necessary for sheeting and bracing and the proper performance of the work. Excavation for Appurtenances. Excavation for manholes and similar structures shall be sufficient to leave at least 12 inches clear space between the outer surface of structure and the bank or timber that may be used to hold and protect the banks. Any overdepth excavation below such appurtenances that has not been directed will be considered unauthorized and shall be refilled with sand, gravel, or concrete, as directed, at no additional cost to the Owner. Embedment. Embedment for utilities shall be as specified in the respective utility specification section.

The Contractor shall notify all affected utility companies at least three consecutive working days preceding his construction operations to coordinate his work regarding poles, wires, valve boxes and other surface obstructions and to determine the location of gas, water main, power, light, telephone or telegraph conduit or service connection thereto or any other subsurface structure that crosses or passes through the space occupied by any of the proposed improvements. The Contractor shall make advance arrangements with the utility companies for any relocation of interfering utilities so as not to delay construction. Interruptions of Services. Interruptions of utility services to existing buildings or facilities which become necessary either directly or indirectly due to work required under this contract shall be coordinated with the Owner through the Engineer. If the down time for connections is limited by them as to duration and time (weekend, nights or holidays), the Contractor shall perform the work during the designated period at no additional cost to the Owner. BACKFILLING Types of Backfill. Backfill for sanitary sewers, water mains, storm sewers, culverts, and drainpipes is the material placed between the bedding and the ground surface. Debris, frozen material, organic matter, unstable material, or stones greater than 8 inches in diameter shall not be suitable for backfill. Large clods and stones not exceeding 8 inches in diameter, when allowed for use as backfill, shall not be placed within two feet of the top of the pipe. Backfill shall be of the following types: Type I Backfill: Type I backfill shall be used where shown on the contract drawings or stated in Special Procedures - Division 01, and unless directed otherwise shall extend from the top of the embedment to the underside of surface restoration. Type I backfill shall be used under and around all existing underground structures, tunnels, conduits, and pipes crossing the excavation. Such backfill shall extend underneath and on all sides to a structure, tunnel, conduit or pipe. Type I backfill shall be selected fill material consisting of granular subbase course, base course or approved existing sand. The backfill material shall be mechanically compacted in 6-inch layers, from a distance of one foot above the pipe to the surface. The degree of compaction shall be to 95 percent maximum dry density per modified proctor (ASTM D1557). Type II Backfill: Type II backfill shall be used where shown on the contract drawings or stated in Special Procedures - Division 01. Type II backfill shall be suitable excavated material, or other approved material, placed in uniform layers and mechanically compacted. The following compaction percentages based on the maximum dry density per modified proctor (ASTM D1557) for the materials are required: For fine grained soils (more than 50 percent passing the No. 200 sieve). Zone III: From bottom of surface restoration to 3 feet below - 91 percent Zone II: From bottom of Zone III to top of the embedment - 88 percent Zone I: Specified as embedment For coarse grained soils (less than 50 percent passing the No. 200 sieve). Zone III: From bottom of surface restoration to 3 feet below - 93 percent Zone II: From bottom of Zone III to top of the embedment - 90 percent Zone I: Specified as embedment Type III Backfill: Type III backfill shall be used in all areas where shown on the Plans or stated in Special Procedures - Division 01. Backfill material shall be suitable excavated material placed, from top of embedment to the bottom of surface restoration, in 12 to 18 inch layers and consolidated by jetting, spading, tamping, or puddling, to the approval of the Engineer, to insure complete filling of the trench. Type IV Backfill: Utilize Type III Backfill with the following jetting: at least a 1-1/2 inch jetting hose, equipped with a regulating valve which permits the hydrant valve to be fully open during use, with a minimum 1-1/2 inch diameter pipe nozzle at least 6 feet long shall be used. During the flooding operation, the nozzle shall be inserted as deeply into the backfill as is possible [20260519R 140] Project #00628072 31 23 33-5 Trenching and Backfilling © 2026 MSA Professional Services, Inc. without damaging the sewers, water mains, or foundations. The insertions shall be made at intervals of 5 feet or less and maintained until the backfill is saturated. Depressions caused by flooding shall be backfilled until there is no further settlement. Flowable Backfill: The materials shall be placed in a clean cement mixer truck and thoroughly mixed. Just prior to placement, the mixer shall be run at mixing speed for one full minute to insure an even mixture. The mixture shall be deposited in the trench directly from the mixer truck. Copies of the load tickets shall be provided to the Engineer. After Settlement. Should after settlement occur, succeeding any of the above backfilling methods, the Contractor shall scarify the surface of the fill material and place additional fill material in the same manner as herein described so that the surface elevation conforms to that shown on the Plans. No additional compensation shall be allowed for repairing filled areas where after-settlement occurs. Backfill Placement. The excavated space around and above underground structures, tunnels, conduits and pipes not filled with embedment material and where select fill backfill is not shown or specified may be backfilled by machine. Backfilling work shall be done in such a way as to prevent dropping of material directly on top of any conduit or pipe through any great vertical distance. In no case shall backfilling material from a bucket be allowed to fall directly on a structure or pipe and in all cases, the bucket shall be lowered so that the shock of falling earth will not cause damage. Lumps shall be broken up and if there are any stones, pieces of crushed rock or lumps, which cannot be readily broken up, they shall be distributed throughout the mass so that all interstices are solidly filled with fine material. Stones, lumps and clods shall also be placed to maintain a 2 foot minimum separation distance from the top of the pipe or structure. No frozen material shall be used for backfilling.
