When the design mix has been approved by the Engineer, there shall be no change or deviation from the proportions thereof or sources of supply except as hereinafter provided. No concrete may be placed on the job site until the mix design has been approved by the Engineer in writing to the Contractor. PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.01 REINFORCING A. Metal reinforcing shall be accurately placed in accordance with the Plans and shall be adequately secured in position by concrete, metal, or plastic chairs and spacers. Bar splices shall overlap at least twelve inches (12"). The reinforcing bars shall be bent cold. 3.02 JOINTS A. Expansion Joints: Expansion joint materials shall be installed perpendicular to the surface. The bottom edge of the material shall extend to or slightly below the bottom edge of the slab and the top edge shall be held approximately one-half inch (1/2") below the surface of the slab. The edge of joints shall be tooled with edging tool having one-fourth inch (1/4") radius. B. Construction Joints: Construction joints shall be installed in all concrete work at the locations shown on the Plans. Construction joints formed at the close of each day's work shall be located at any of the control joints designated on the Plans. Joints may be constructed by use of wood or preformed metal bulkheads set true to the section of the finished concrete and cleaned and oiled. Surplus concrete on the subgrade shall be removed before resuming concreting operations. 03300-3 3.03 PLACING CONCRETE A. Placement of Concrete: The concrete shall be rapidly deposited on the subgrade immediately after mixing is completed. Subgrade and forms shall be dampened prior to placement of the concrete. The concrete shall be transported, placed and spread in such a manner as to prevent segregation of the aggregate or an excess amount of water and fine materials to be brought to the surface. No con- crete shall be placed when the air temperature is less than forty degrees Fahrenheit (40°F. ) nor when the temperature of the con- crete is eighty-five degrees Fahrenheit (85°F. ) or higher, with- out approval of Public Works Inspector. Placement shall be carried on at such a rate that the concrete is at all times plastic and flows readily into the space between the bars. No concrete that has partially hardened or that has been contaminated by foreign material shall be deposited in the work nor shall retempered concrete by used. Each section of pavement between expansion and construction joints shall be placed mono- lithically. All concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by suitable means dur- ing the operation of placing and shall be thoroughly worked around reinforcement and embedded fixtures and into the corners of the forms. Special care shall be taken to prevent voids and honeycombing. The concrete shall then be struck off and bull-floated to the grade shown on the Plans before bleed water has an opportunity to collect on the surface. 3.04 FINISHING A. Finishing Concrete: All concrete shall be finished by experienc- ed, qualified concrete finishers . All concrete shall have a neat, rounded edge. Edging and jointing (radius described on Plans) shall be accomplished with care so as not to leave deep impres- sions in the concrete surface adjacent to edges and joints. After the concrete has been floated and has set sufficiently to support the weight of cement finishers, a smooth steel trowel will be used to produce hard surface. The entire surface will then be brushed with a stiff bristle broom to produce a uniform textured finish. All edges and sides of concrete exposed to view shall be free of warp and blemishes with a uniform texture and smoothness as described in Plans. 3.05 CURING Curing Compound: Immediately after the finishing operations, the concrete shall be completely covered with a curing compound. The concrete surface shall be kept moist between finishing operations and the application of the curing compound. The curing compound shall be applied under pressure by means of a spray nozzle at a rate not to exceed two hundred square feet (200 sq. ft. ) per gal- lon. A minimum of seventy-two hours (72) curing time will be required. END OF SECTION 03300-4 SECTION 11510 - PARK EQUIPMENT PART 1 - GENERAL 1.01 DESCRIPTION A.
