27
Q

Three types of specifications

A

Design Specifications
Performance Specifications
Closed & Proprietary Specifications

28
Q

Components of a design specification

A

Highly prescriptive, detailed instructions that state HOW the work will be conducted.

Contractor is not held liable if the end result is not achieved by following the specification.

29
Q

Components of a performance specification

A

Contractor’s work satisfies the specification only if their work meetings the technical performance requirements outlined in the specifications

E.g. the compressive strength of the concrete shall be 3,000 psi

30
Q

Closed & Proprietary Specifications

A

Closed specification requires a specific item or system

proprietary specifications are a type of closed specifications that specify a product where there is no allowance for alternatives.

31
Q

reference Specifications

A

Introduced established tests or formal procedures into design or performance specifications

32
Q

Standard specifications

A

An entire set of technical specifications that have been developed by an owners. Once developed they can be used across many projects with similar requirements.

33
Q

When written as a ratio (i.e. 12:1) what comes first, horizontal or vertical distance?

A

Horizontal

34
Q

What is contained in a bid form? (7)

A

Base bid price
Alternatives or modifications to the base bid and their price impact
Provisions for additional work
Time of completion
Bid Surety
Qualifications, financial statement, list of subs
Signature of a certification by the contractor

35
Q

Project manual consists of 4 documents

A

Bidding Documents
General Conditions
Supplementary Provisions
Technical Specifications

36
Q

Documents included in the bid documents (6)

A

Notice to bidders
Instructions to Bidders
Bid Form
Contract Form
Specifications
Project-specific attachments and exhibits (like geotechnical report)

37
Q

This document outlines the rules under which a project will be built and contain “boilerplate” language that establishes the contract.

A

General Conditions

38
Q

Which document include the following:
Notice to bidders
Instructions to bidders
Bid Form
Contract Form
Specifications
Addendum of project-specific attachments such as a geotechnical report

A

Bidding Documents

39
Q

A document included in the project manual which augments the general conditions with project specific information. Can include cost-reporting requirements, traffic control measures, and specific information about material substitutions.

A

Supplementary Provisions

40
Q

Concave Slope Contour Signature

A

Contour lines that are spaces at increasing distance in the downhill direction. Meaning the slope is steeper at the higher elevations and becomes progressively more flat at the lower elevations.

41
Q

Convex slope contour signature

A

Contour lines are spaced at decreasing distances in the downhill direction. The slope is flatter at the higher elevations and becomes progressively steeper at the lower elevations

42
Q

Measuring invert elevations

A

note that invert elevations are always measured from the bottom of the interior surface of the pipe

43
Q

reference to include on drawing for subsurface drainage (on grading plan)

A

designation for material, diameter, length, and slope

44
Q

There are four general phases to grading activities during construction:

A

STEP 1: Site preparation

STEP 2: Rough grading/bulk excavation

STEP 3: Backfilling and fine grading

STEP 4: Finish surfacing.

45
Q

When to place grade stakes

A

The last step in preparing a site for excavation is the placement of grade stakes. Grade stakes are used to indicate the amount of cut or fill necessary to achieve the proposed subgrade.

46

Layout plan

54
Q

What layout method is demonstrated in this image?

A

Perpendicular offset

55
Q

What layout method is represented in the image

A

Baseline system

56
Q

A layout system used to locate curvilinear elements that do not require a high degree of accuracy. Offsets are taken at fixed intervals from the reference point to the edge or centreline of the proposed element

A

Baseline systems

57
Q

When should a coordinate layout system be used? (4)

A

Projects with irregular geometry when a baseline is difficult to establish

Landscape design is not related to a building in construction

Complex topography existing

Small scale work such as residential gardens

58
Q

Key station points in a stationing layout

A

Full stations (100 ft intervals)
Half Stations (50 ft intervals)
High / Low Points
Street intersections
Beginnings / ends of curves

59
Q

In this image, what is the:
point of vertical curve (PVC)
Point of vertical intersection (PVI)
Point of vertical tangency (PVT)

A
60
Q

Superelevation

A

Superelevation is the cross-slope of a road from the outside edge to the inside edge, and is a necessary design feature on high-speed curves to counteract centrifugal force and to improve traction on the roadway surface.

61
Q

The cross-slope of a road from the outside edge to the inside edge, to counteract centrifugal force on high-speed curves and to improve traction on the roadway surface.

A

Superelevation
