EXHIBIT A
En2:ineer's Proposal and Revisions to Standard Consultant Services A2:reement
I
I
It is our understanding that this is a roadway improvement project that begins at Jimmy Dyess
Boulevard and terminates at Wrightsboro Road. The scope of services includes improving the
roadway section to facilitate a better level of service, based on traffic volumes to be determined
by our traffic engineering subconsultant. Our traffic subconsultant will coordinate all traffic and
signal efforts with Augusta. The scope also includes the design of a closed drainage system to
relieve any drainage problems, which includes the design of curb and gutter to convey water to
those structures. The scope also includes design of sidewalk to accompany the curb and gutter
and will be coordinated with the Augusta Public Works. All plans will be generated per GDOT
and Augusta standards. Any additional design is out of the scope of this contract and would
require additional fees.
I
I
I
I
I
The following are comments and exclusions to the Consultant Services Agreement as it pertains
to this project and certain phases. Due to the nature of this project certain tasks do not pertain and
certain tasks need to be modified for presentation. Fees for tasks that require additional fees have
been listed in the Miscellaneous Section at the end of this document.
Phase I: Traffic Engineering and Concept Development / Database Preparation
I
I
I
Rochester & Associates, Inc. (R&A) will perform the following procedures to execute this
project. Upon notice to proceed, we will first meet with public works to gather all the existing
information on the project. It is our recommendation that a portion of the database preparation be
conducted during concept development. This information is required to determine utility
locations, property and right-of-way locations and existing drainage infrastructure for preparation
of concept plans. It is our understanding that no SUE will be initially performed on this project.
Possible SUE will be coordinated and initiated by Augusta Public Works for critical utility
conflicts.
During this phase our traffic engineering subconsultant (TES, Inc.) will begin gathering data and
preparing a traffic engineering report per the information required in the "Engineering Consultant
Services Agreement." Traffic engineering services include:
Task 1 Data Gathering
I
Existing average daily traffic volumes will be gathered at four locations on Belair Road.
Approach counts will be performed on the side streets for evaluating potential warranted
traffic signals on this section of Belair Road, including the intersection of Belair and
Wrightsboro Road. Turning movement counts at the two intersections on each end of
Belair Road will be conducted.
I
I
I
I
I
Accident data will be collected along this section of Belair Road for the previous 36
months, if available. A site visit will be done to identify potential traffic concerns on
Belair Road.
The data collected will be used as part of a Traffic Engineering Report to evaluate the
existing signal for necessary modifications at the intersection of Belair Road and Jimmy
Dyess Parkway, to determine the need for a traffic signal at Wrightsboro and Belair Road
and to identify any other intersections on Belair Road that may need a signal warrant
analysis performed.
I
I
Task 2 Traffic Engineering Report
I
Based on the data collected as part of Task I, recommendations on proposed intersection
control, configurations, striping and traffic operations will be included in the traffic
engineering report for two intersections on Belair Road at Wrightsboro Road and Jimmy
Dyess Parkway. The study will also identify the need for additional signal warrant
analyses at other intersections along Belair Road. The study will also include any safety
or operational concerns on this section of Belair Road and detail proposed improvements
to address the concerns.
I
I
I
During this phase R&A will perform its initial environmental assessments for outlet areas. Upon
completion of concept development R&A will prepare 30% construction drawings. Drawings
will be submitted to Augusta for review. Upon addressing comments a public meeting will be
scheduled and coordinated through Augusta Public Works. R&A will then meet with Public
Works to get a sign off and notice to proceed for preliminary plans.
I
I
In the General Conditions Section, under Coordination with Utilities, R&A will provide I set of
prints of construction drawings for the City to distribute to the utility companies to determine
conflicts. R&A will comply with the Right to Enter section, and the surveyors will carry a Right-
to-Enter letter with them.
I
Phase IT: Database Preparation
I
During database preparation R&A will begin research on right-of-way and property ownership.
Our field crews will begin by setting control on the project and coordination with any NGS
control monuments on site. It is our understanding that no photogrammetric work will be
performed on this project and that Augusta GIS information will be used in its place and
enhanced by our survey information. R&A will locate right-of-way, property lines, planimetic
data needed to enhance the existing GIS information, utility information, drainage structures, and
perform three point profiles. All survey data will be maintained in a CAiCE database. R&A will
provide a base map that depicts; existing roadways, right-of-way, topographic features,
driveways, utilities, drainage structures and drainage channels. R&A will provide property lines
and tax parcel numbers per tax maps. Per Appendix B for survey, Special Surveys in Section 3a,
3b, 3d and 3e are not included in this scope of work except for wetland delineation and horizontal
and vertical location of visible utilities.
I
I
I
I
Phase ill: Preliminary Plans
I
Upon notice to proceed for preliminary plans, R&A will begin to generate all the plan sheets
required for 60% submittal. Preliminary quantities will also be generated for an initial cost
estimate for construction. Upon completion of preliminary plans, R&A will meet again with
public works for comments.
I
During Preliminary Plans Phase, R&A will provide all information as stated in the Preliminary
Plans phase in the "Engineering Consultant Services Agreement" except for the following. R&A
considers the following items out of scope and will not provide design of drainage detention
facilities, flood studies, SUE, bridge design, and water and sewer design. R&A will provide one
set of construction drawings to Augusta for reproduction and distribution. Permit fees will be
passed through to the City as a direct cost to the consultant.
I
I
I
Page 2 of4
I
I
Phase IV: RJW Plans
I
Once preliminary plans are approved and notice to proceed is given for right-of-way plans, R&A
will begin plan generation for right-of-way. Right-of-way plans will include all proposed right-
of-way and easements required to construct this project once additional property research has
been completed.
I
Phase V: Final Plans
I
Final plans will begin once right-of-way plans have been approved and notice to proceed is given.
Final plans will include all plan sheets required per the Augusta Plans Presentation Guidelines.
I
R&A will not provide Final Water / Sewer Plan Phase. During Final Roadway and Construction
Phase, final right-of-way plans have been included in the project scope of services. Meetings
with utility companies have not been included in the scope. Traffic signal plans have been
included in this project, but are listed in the Miscellaneous Section. Consultant will not provided
services in section 4.P of the Final Roadway Design and Construction Plan Phase. Section 4.Q of
the Final Roadway Design and Construction Plan Phase is not included in the scope of services
for this project, however, can be for additional fees. Consultant will coordinate on minor changes

be placed at the intersection of the required right-of-way and property lines, existing
right-of-way lines and breaks in the required right-of-way. All stakes will be labeled on
the front as to type of right-of-way and or easement and the station number, offset and
point number on the back. The Consultant shall be prepared to restake up to 20% of the
rights-of-way and/or easements as directed by the City.
V. Consultant Safety Requirements
A. Requirement of Signs - The Consultant shall furnish at its own expense and use
signs which comply with the standards that are currently being used by the
Georgia Department of Transportation's crews.
It shall be the duty of the Consultant, when working within a right-of-way of a
street or highway, to see that all warning signs are properly placed before work
begins. Signs are to be placed in such manner that there will be no doubt in the
minds of the traveling public as to what the Consultant wants motorists to do.
Signs are to be moved along as work. progresses and must never be left on the road when the men
are not working. This refers to periods when the men are having meals or rest or at the end of
the work day.
B. Keeping Parked Equipment Clear - All equipment shall be parked clear of the
travel lane and shall comply with all traffic regulations.
Chains or tapes shall be unreeled on the ground clear of traffic but in no event
thrown out or dragged so that the wind might carry them into contact with
electrical wires or passing vehicles, nor shall a steel tape be thrown or left where
traffic will pass over it.
Work on Traveled Portion of Road - When the work requires personnel to be on
the traveled portion of the road, they shaIl wear the prescribed safety clothing as
instructed by the City.
Instruments shall be put together or taken apart clear of the traffic lanes so as to
avoid danger from traffic. When necessary to set up surveying instruments in the
traffic lane or take cross sections in traffic, advance warning flags and signs shall
first be placed approximately 400 feet from each side of the job location.
Flagmen shall also be used to safeguard operations and shall comply with the
standards as set out in the Georgia Department of Transportation manual. All
survey equipment shall be removed as soon as it has served its purpose.

APPENDIX C
RIGHT -OF- WAY PLAN REQUIREMENTS
The following requirements are considered as a minimum for the preparation of right-of-way
plans. Additional information may be required to be included on the plans over and above that
hereinafter outlined due to the nature of the Project. The Consultant shall include this
information at no additional compensation. Strict adherence to the minimum requirements
hereinafter by the Consultant will be required unless written permission to deviate from them has
been obtained from the City.
A. DELINEATION: Important features of the Right-of-Way plans must be clearly shown.
These include right-of-way lines, easement limits, property lines, improvements, parcel
identification numbers, and dimensions. These and other pertinent matters shall be
placed on the plans so that they are readily distinguishable and easily read and identified.
B. SIZE OF PLANS: The detail plans and cover sheets shall be prepared on mylar using the
same size requirements as for the construction plans. The scale of right-of-way plans
shall be a minimum of I" = 50' so that the original drawing can be reduced to an 8-112"
by 11" size drawing for use as deed and condemnation plats and still retain legible details
and dimensions.
C. PROPERTY LINES: Property lines shall be accurately located and concisely depicted on
the plans with adequate ties to the centerline and required right-of-way so that a legal
description can be drawn for the deeds and condemnations. The name of the owner or
owners shall be clearly shown for each parcel. D'imensions and bearings on property
lines outside the right-of-way are not to be shown except by plotting to scale; however,
dimensions and bearings on property lines with in the right-of-way shall be clearly and
accurately shown. If the property line is involved with a horizontal curve, the arc length
and radius of curve for the property line is to be shown. The back property lines on all
parcels shall be shown either on the cover sheet or the plat mat sheet.
Property comers inside the required right-of-way and points of intersection between
property lines and the required right-of-way lines are to be located by a full station and
distance to the centerline. Coordinates for property comers are also to be shown. The
coordinates can be shown on the plat map sheet directly underneath the property comer
station and offset or on a separate sheet containing property corner identification numbers
and the coordinates. The property comer identification numbers are to be clearly
indicated on the plat map sheet along with the station and offset for the corner. The
property comer identification number is to be clearly indicated on the plat map sheet
along with the station and offset for the corner. Property corner identification numbers
are to run consecutively.
D.Tht1PROVErv1ENTS AND CULTURE: All pertinent data that may affect the cost of the
right-of-way should be indicated on the plans. Some of these include structures, roads,

streams, ponds, city limits, orchards, significant specimen trees, parking spaces, fences,
wells, springs, and various improvements. If improvements located outside the Right-of-
Way might have an influence on the appraised value, these should also be shown to scale
on the plan sheet in order to determine damages to the remainder.
E. RlGHT -OF - WAY: In general, sufficient right-of-way will be acquired to accommodate
full roadway shoulders and to accommodate normal utility needs. Every effort should be
made to make the right-of-way as uniform as possible while being cost effective.
Drainage facilities, including most ditches, located outside of the required right-of-way
shall be located on permanent drainage easements.
F. EASEMENTS: Required easements shall be accurately shown on the plans. Usually
there is no necessity to prepare a legal description for an easement, but the easement shall
be adequately dimensioned on the right-of-way plan so that it can be precisely located on
the ground. The areas of all easements, except driveway easements, shall be accurately
computed and shown in square feet. Large easements in rural areas may be shown in
acres.
The easement shall be clearly labeled as to use, such as construction, slope, drainage,
driveway, utility, sanitary sewer, water line, or detour, as appropriate. If the easement is
for a type of construction that does not require maintenance by the City, it shall be
labeled: "Easement for the construction of " with the actual purpose of the
temporary construction easement being specified. on the plans. Examples of this type of
construction are channel changes, 'driveways, yard drains, tree wells, steps and sidewalks
leading into residences.orplaces of business, and. to provide a working area outside of the
right-of-way where construction activities require it. This type of easement will expire
upon completion and final acceptance of the project for which acquired or upon the date
shown on the plans, whichever is earlier.
If the easement is for a type of construction that will require future maintenance by the
City, it shall be labeled: "Easement for the construction and maintenance of
." An example of this type of construction is a retaining wall tie back
system. If the project includes AU work, the additional easements for water/sewer
construction shall be incorporated into the final right-of-way plans. If a temporary
water/sewer easement overlaps a roadway construction easement, the easement shall be
labeled as a combination easement for both needs. If a water/sewer easement extends
outside a temporary roadway easement more than 10 feet, a separate easement shall be
defined and labeled.
G. SUBDIVISIONS: In subdivisions, the remaining property shall be shown to scale. In
cases where the back of the lots cannot be shown to scale, a break may be shown on the
property lines with the distance to the back of the lot shown approximately in feet. It
may be necessary, in some instances, to include inserts on the right-of-way detail plan to
,adequately show information pertinent to the individual lots. Lot and block numbers

shall be shown. The subdivision may be shown on the cover sheet as an outline of the
entire subdivision with a notation as to the parcels included. All roads or streets,
including names, should be either shown on the detail plan or cover sheet. Comments
under "Property Lines" cover additional data required for subdivisions.
H. RAILROAD CROSSINGS: Intersections with the centerline of railroads shall be tied
into the right-of-way centerline by station and angle, showing width of the right-of-way,
name of railroad, each track by symbol and distance, and direction along the railroad
right-of-way to the nearest mile post number.
1. INTERSECTING ROADS AND EXISTING STREETS: The intersection of all paved
and maintained public roads are to be tied by station and angle and equated to the station
of the survey of the intersected road. The name of the road, state and federal routes, if
any, and the right-of-way width of the road shall be shown. Details of private roads and
access roads to parking lots and commercial centers shall be shown on the Right-of- Way
plans. A thorough investigation shall be made to establish accurately the existing right-
of-way of all intersecting roads and the existing Right-of-Way of roads parallel to the
proposed project.
J. LIMITED ACCESS: On limited access projects, including partial limited access, the
access control lines shall be shown by the conventional limited access symbols. In areas
where the limited access line and the right-of-way lines are in the same location both
shall be indicated. At the beginning and ending of limited access at interchange or
crossroads, an arrow indicating the exact ending or beginning point with the symbols E
L/ A or B L/ A shall be shown as appropriate. If there are any intermediate breaks in the
limited access, these must be clearly shown. Where the Right-of-Way and limited access
lines coincide, they shall be labeled "Required RIW & Limit of Access." Where drives
break the limit of access, show a distance between the ELlA and B L/ A, but do not show
a distance through the B L/ A and ELlA.
K. PARCEL NUMBERS: Each parcel of right-of-way or easement under one unity
ownership and in one body of land shall be given the same parcel number. Numbers
shall be assigned to parcels starting with parcel one at the beginning of the project and
numbering consecutively through the end of the project. Augusta, Georgia tax map
parcel numbers shall be cross referenced for each parcel. If it is necessary later to split a
parcel or another ownership is found, additional parcels may be shown by adding a suffix
of A, B, etc. to the number of an adjacent parcel. Where additional right-of-way is to be
acquired in the name of the utility company for relocating it facilities, the right-of-way
parcel number with a suffix desigilating the utility company shall be used, (as 39 GP for
Georgia Power or 18 SB for Southern Bell). If an additional land owner is involved,
solely for relocating the utility facility, an individual parcel with the proper suffix shall be
used. On urban projects involving city blocks, the numbering of parcels for some
projects may be facilitated by giving each block an alphabetical designation and then
~umbering each parcel in the block numerically. The use of this alphabetical designation

procedure shall be determined on an individual project basis. Advertising signs which
are to be purchased, relocated, or damaged require identification and shall be given the
same parcel number as the tract upon which they are located followed by the letter "s." If
more than one sign is located on a parcel, the identification shall be as follows: 17-S-1,
17-S-2, etc.
L. AREAS: The areas of required right-of-way, the remainder on the left, and the remainder
on the right shall be shown on the right-of-way detail plan for each parcel. The symbols
to be used shall be: RR = Area Remaining on the Right of the Right-of-Way Line and
RL=Area Remaining on the Left of the Right-of-Way Line. In preparing right-of-way
plans, all references to area taken shall not be referred to as "take" or the letter "T" but
shall be referred to as "Required Right-of-Way" or "Req'd RIW." These areas shall
ordinarily be shown in square feet and acres. The needed area shall be computed to the
third decimal with the remaining areas to be shown to the nearest one hundredth (0.01)
for areas under one acre, to the nearest tenth (0.1) for areas between one acre and ten
acres, and to the nearest acre for areas in excess of ten acres The acres of required Right-
of- Way for subdivision lots, residential lots, and small commercial lots are to be
indicated in square feet and acres.
During the review process, if a determination is made' by the City that a parcel remainder
is an uneconomic remnant, the plans shall be revised by the Consultant as follows:
Required right-of.,way shall remain the same.
The property lines of the remnant shall be labeled "Limit of Property Acquisition."
The remnant area shall be identified using the subject parcel number with an "R" suffix.
For more than one remnant the suffix shall be R-2, R-2, etc.
The area breakdown of such a parcel could be shown as follows:
Area Required
35 15.375 Ac. (R/W)
35-R 0.962 Ac.
Rem.
29 Ac. (RL)
16.337 Ac. (Total)
M. COVER SHEET: A right-of-way cover sheet or cover sheets shall be prepared to a scale
that shall adequately reflect property lines, roads, streets, and other appropriate culture
after the sheet is reduced to 8-112" x 11" letter size. The cover sheet shall show the full
property lines of large property holdings, and if the property lines to scale would extend
beyond the map, broken property lines may be shown. It is usually necessary to indicate

the entire property so that all access roads to the property can be shown for the benefit of
the appraiser and reviewing appraiser. The right-of-way project number should be shown
at the top of the sheet along with the City's Project Identification Number. A "Length of
Project" box shall also be included on the sheet. The length of the right-of-way project is
not necessarily the same as the construction project length, but is to be the actual length
of the right-of-way project. When the beginning or ending stations are different, left or
right, then the greater length shall always be used; and in every case it is the beginning
and ending of the required right-of-way and/or easements. This applies also to cover
sheets for secondary projects, except that the designation "RIW' shall not follow the
project number. The cover sheet shall include an insert to show the general location of
the project number. This insert showing the project location is required only on the first
sheet where more than one cover sheet is used. Provisions shall be made on the cover
sheet for a revision block so all revisions on the detail sheets can be listed on the cover
sheet. The cover sheet revision block is to indicate revision date and sheet numbers only.
It is required only on the first sheet when more than one cover sheet is used. The cover
sheet shall include beginning and ending stations of the right-of-way project, project
termini of construction contracts, a north arrow, graphic scale of cover sheet, date of plan
completion, signature and a valid Professional Engineer or Registered Land Surveyor
stamp, and, if available, land lot lines and numbers, Land Districts or Georgia Militia
Districts. A "PROPERTY OWNERS" block shall also be included on the cover sheet.
N. GENERAL INFORMATION FOR PLAN SHEETS: General information that shall be
shown on each plansheet,_in addition to that previously mentioned, includes:
1. The survey centerline and_any other related centerline, clearly labeled.
2. The construction limits, based upon approved preliminary plan, profile, and cross
sections, shall be properly identified.
3. The project number and date in each title block.
4. Paving lines indicated through all intersections, crossover, interchanges, and
driveways.
5. North arrow.
6. Revision blocks with space for dates and brief description of revision.
7. Right-of-way legends.
8. Existing and proposed drainage.
9. Each sheet shall be initialed and shall bear the date of plan completion.

O. SOURCES OF INFORMATION: The sources of information that should be utilized in
compiling data for the preparation of right-of-way plans are numerous. Some of the
information required for right-of-way plans cannot be economically obtained by regular
survey parties. It may be necessary to research to check with the Clerk of Court's Office
for information in regard to subdivisions and property transactions. Ownership shall be
formally determined from the preliminary title check. Aerial mapping furnished by the
City and those available at the City Agent's Office are often valuable in locating property
lines, land lot lines, access roads, streams, ponds, researched to determine if properties
potentially impacted by the project have septic drain fields or other types of on-site
sewage facilities. City Engineers and the City Engineers may have reference maps which
provide additional data The U.S. Geological Survey, the U. S. Forest Service, and the U.
S. Coast and Geodetic Survey maps can furnish pertinent information. In preparing plans
for projects, tax maps shall be examined. The railroad evaluation maps shall be obtained
and compared if railroad company right-of-way limits appear to be within the required
project right-of-way. Utility company maps shall be compared for data concerning their
easements. Right-of-way plans are a legal document and sometimes end up in court, so
the information must be as accurate as possible. The Consultant is responsible for
utilizing whatever data necessary to prepare an accurate set of right-of-way plans. If the
project includes AU work, the Consultant is responsible for researching all AU records,
as-built microfiche records, record drawings, and (for general information only) the
counter maps.
P. OTHER GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: The following are additional items which the .
Consultant shall follow in the preparation of right-of-way plans:
1. Make sure that "lines" and "writing" on plans are dark enough to show on blueline
prints and on a reduced 8-112" x 11" print. Property lines and construction lines
should clearly stand out. Ifbase map data interferes with being able to distinguish
property and construction lines, the Consultant, at his expense, shall redo the
right-of-way plans to correct the problem to the satisfaction of the City.
2. Full station and plus shall be used on all right-of-way, easement, and property
lines rather than the plus only.
3. Do not shade right-of-way plans.
4. Do not begin or end (if possible) projects in the middle of a parcel ifthere is to be
a future project.
5. Do not show the linear feet of access rights on parcels where there is required
right-of-way.

6. Do not use the same symbol for driveway easement and construction easement.
7. Do not leave off the North Arrow, Remainders, Construction Limits, or Stations
and Offsets.
8. The Consultant shall become familiar with the City's requirements concerning
driveway locations and median openings. Corrections to the right-of-way plans as
a result of the City's review to conform with these regulations shall be made by
the Consultant at no additional cost to the City.
9. When plan sheet is revised, revision block shall include date, initials of
responsible engineer, and brief description of the revision.
Q. NUMBER OF COPIES SUBMITTED: The Consultant shall submit initially three sets of
prints for preliminary review by the City. The submission shall have been checked by the
Consultant prior to submission. Figure No.1 and lA are to be used by the Consultant as a
guide for checking the plans. Preliminary right-of-way plans shall be submitted with the
60% complete submittal of the construction plans. The City will review the plans for
conformance with the criteria herein set forth. Upon receipt of the City's review
comments, the Consultant shall make any corrections necessary. The Consultant shall
resubmit three sets of prints of the corrected plans for further review and approval by the
City with the 90% complete submittal of the construction plans. Any corrections
necessary as a result of this review shall be made by the Consultant and one set of
reproducible and two sets of prints of the revised sheets shall be submitted. Should the
field plan review occur after this resubmission, the Consultant shall make any corrections
to the right-of-way plans found as a result of the field plan review and submit one set of
reproducible and two sets of prints of the revised sheets.

items to be used in the construction of the project. It shall be the responsibility of the Consultant
to include all pay items corresponding to the design presented on the plans and any other items
necessary for the completion of the project. The quantities shown shall be the actual quantities
called for on the plans without any increase other than rounding.
A separate quantity will be added to some items to used "as directed" by the AU project
Engineer. Pay Items or quantities designated as " as directed by the Engineer" shall be
recommended by the Consultant to the AU. The recommendations should be based on
anticipated construction problems due to unresolved conflicts or lack of accurate existing
database.
Appurtenances shall be located by approximate road stationing with left or right designation.
Offset distances are not necessary. Length of pipe at various depths are to stationed by scaling
off the water or sewer profiles. Other items can be located on a station to station format. The
AU will supply the blankbase sheet in mylar or digital format.
Water and Sewer Plans

6. Prestressed concrete deck panels will not be allowed for use with the post-
tensioned box structures and for structures utilizing structural steel as the
superstructure supporting element.
D. PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BEAMS
1. Use AASHTO type beams
2. When specifying neoprene bearing pads, make every effort to use standard size
pads. Whenever possible, use dowels to hold pads in place rather than expensive
bearing assemblies using sole and bearing plates.
3. Anchorage beds are set for horizontal and vertical strand patterns of two inches
center to center. Detail all straight and draped strands on two inch spacings as per
AASHTO type beam standards.
4. Detail all blockouts for diaphragm bar nuts and washers as circular using 5-inch
diameter blockout and 4-inch diameter washer. Make sure to locate diaphragm
bars to avoid interference with draped strands.
5. All plans should show a minimum design release strength.
6. Beam on skewed bridges should have only the top flange skewed.
7. Place the following note. on plans:
"Shop Drawings shall show the details of lifting devices embedded in beam
ends."
Check shop drawings to verify that lifting devices extend to near the bottoms of
beams so that the weight of the beam will not cause tension stresses at the
junction of the web and top flange.
8. To prevent cracking at beam .ends, provide the minimum amount of reinforcing at
beam ends as required by AASHTO in Article 1.6.15.
9. Detail beam lengths to 1/16" increments and state on plans that lengths are
horizontal dimensions for in place beams and that fabricator shall adjust lengths
for grade and fabrication effects such as shrinkage and elastic shortening.
10. Make sure deck coping accounts for deflections due to the effects of creep and
loss of prestress.
11. Place the following note on the plans:
"The contractor shall submit shop drawing on standard plan size 23" x 36" inch
sheets showing complete details of beams including the following:
