(cc) Rental, or ownership cost of equipment, including necessary transportation of �quipment, having a purchase value in excess of $300.00. Rental o',r ownership cost will be allowed for only those hours during which the ;equipment is required on the project site. Cost allowances will not�,exceed the rates defined as follows; the hourly rate, for equipment not used exclusively in the change to the scope of work, will be the monthly; rate, as printed in the current Rental Blue Book for Construction Equipment published by Dataquest, divided by 176; the rate, for equipmer�t used exclusively for those tasks identified in the change to the scope of work, will be the daily, weekly or monthly rate, used singularly or ;in combination, which will provide the lowest total cost. The rates willi be modified by the Rate Adjustment Table factors to reflect a depreciation allowance indexed to the year a machine was originally manufactured and sold. The rates will be adjusted to account for regional differences in annual use hours, cost of labor, freight, taxes, etc. The arnount by which basic rates will be increased or decreased is shoWn on the adjustment maps included in the "Blue Book". 1/24/11 Gb03-107\00700 i (1)00700 -16 � General Conditions The equipment use period will begin only at the time equipment is unloaded at the site of the changed work, will inctude each day that the equipment is required at the site of the changed work and will terminate at the end of the day on which the us � of such equipment becomes unnecessary, plus •reasonable transp�rtation time.

In cold weather, conform to ACI 306.1, except that the use of calcium chloride shall _ not be permitted. C. In hot weather conform to ACI 305R. D. Conform to ACI 302.1 R, ACI 308 and as specifed herein. ' E. Consolidation ' 1. During and immediately after placement, concrete shall be thoroughly consolidated and worked into all corners and angles and around reinforcement and embedded fixtures in a manner to fil► all voids, prevent honeycombing against the forms an avoid seg�egation of coarse aggregate This operation - shall be performed by the use of spades or forks and internal vibrators. 2. Vibration shall be transmitted directly to the concrete and in no case shall it be transmitted through the forms. Vibration driving mechanisms shall revolve at not less than 7,000 rpm. The vibration sha;ll be sufficiently intense to cause the concrete to flow and settle readily into place and to visibly affect the concrete over a radius of at least 18 inches. Vibratian shall be supplemented by manual forking or spading adjacent to the forms on exposed faces in order to secure smooth, dense surfaces. Special care shaiE be taken to ensure consolidation around reinforcement, pipes, and other s;hapes built into the work. Vibrators shall not be used to transport concrete within the forms. Vibrafiars shall be kept 1/24/11 G003-107\0330Q I � �I 03300 - 10 Cast-In-Place Concrete in motion at all times ta prevent excessive vibration in one spot. The operation shall be continuous and all concrete shall be in final position before initial set has started. ; 3. In addition to the vibrators in actual use while concrete is being placed, the Contractor shall have on hand at least one operable vibrator as a spare in case of equipment failure. No concrete shall be placed until all vibrating equipment, including spares, is at the placement site. 4. Concrete shall be thoroughly consolidated prior to top finishing. Afl laitance, debris, and surplus water shall be removed from concrete surfaces at topes of forms by screeding, scraping, or other effective means. Wherever the top of a wall will be exposed to weathering, the forms shall be overfille� and after the concrete has been compacted, the excess shall be screeded off. F. Approved curing methods are as follows: 1. Water curing by covering the entire surface of concrete with water. The curing ' water should not be more than 20 degrees F cooler than the concrete. 2. Water curing by fog spraying or sprinkling to provide a continuous film of water over the entire surface of concrete. 3. Water curing by means of covering the entire surface with absorbent materials which shall be kept moist. Absorbent materials can be burla�, cotton mats, rugs, or other approved materials. 4. Curing by means of covering the entire surface with waterproof sheet materials to reduce the loss of mixing water from the concrete: Materials can be polyethylene sheeting, waterproof paper, or polyethylene-coated burlap. Dn slabs, the sheets should extend over the edges at least ,twice the sfab thickness. During cold weather, black polyethylene sheeting should be used, ' and in hot weather, white polyethylene sheeting should be used. Do not use polyethylene on slab surFaces that will be exposed. 5. Curing by means of spraying or rolling a liquid membrane forming curing compound according to manufacturer's recommendations o,ver the entire surFace. A white-pigmented Class 2 compound shall be used when the concrete is exposed to the sun; otherwise, use Class 1. Curing compounds shall not be used in areas to receive adhesives for floor coverings or paint without certification of compatibility from the Contractor. G. Minimum period of curing for al1 methods is 7 days unless a sh rter period is approved by the engineer. i 1/24/11 G003-107\03300 s � I ' , 03300 - 11 ' Cast-In-Place Concrete 3.06 Finishes ' A. Vertical and overhead surface finishes shali be as follows except where noted otherwise on the drawings or finish schedule. ; 1. Unfinished Areas: Vertical and overhead concrete surfaces exposed in unfinished areas, or concealed will not require additional finishing. ' 2. Interior and Exterior Exposed Areas (to be Painted): All fins, burrs, and similar projections on surFace shall be knocked off flush and rubbed lightly with a�ne abrasive stone. 3. Interior and Exterior Exposed Areas (Finished): Finished areas unless otherwise shown shall be given a rubbed finish of uniform color, treated as follows: � a. Chip away all "high" spots and fill all "low" spots (tie marks, form marks, and honey combs) with a grout composed of the same cement/sand ratio as the original concrete. b. Rub entire surface of concrete with a fine abrasive stone to create a smooth surface, free of all form marks. Finishing is to start as soon as possible after concrete will support itself. Finishing of any section is to be i complete within 4 hours of the stripping of forms on that section. B. Slab Finishes 1. Scratch Finish: Slab surfaces to receive a bonded applied cementitious . application shall all be thoroughly raked or wire broomed after partial setting ' (within 2 hours after placing) to roughen surface to insure a permanent bond between base slab and applied cementitious materials. 2. F{oat Finish: Unless noted otherwise, surfaces to receive a float finish shall , include interior stair treads, equipment pads and surFaces intended to receive roofing or waterproofing membranes. After the concrete has been placed, struck off, and leveled, the concrete shall not be worked further until ready for floating. Floating shalf begin when the water sheen has disappeared. During the first floating, the slabs shall be checked for planeness of surFace. The slab shall then be refloated immediately to a uniform sandy texture. 3. Troweled Finish: Uniess noted otherwise, surfaces to receive a troweled #inish include exposed concrete floors and floors to receive resilient floor covering or carpet. The surface shall first be float-finished as specified above. It shall then be power troweled, and finally, hand troweled such that the finished surface is essentially free of trowel marks and uniform in texture and appearance. 1/24/11 G003-107\033d0 03300 - 12 Cast-In-Place Concrete 4. Broom Finish: Untess noted otherwise, surfaces to receive a broom finish include exterior platforms, steps, and landings; and exterior and interior ramps. Immediately after the concrete has received a float finish, it shall be given a coarse texture by drawing a broom across the surface. i 5. Apply a specified liquid hardener and dustproofer to all interior exposed slab surfaces according to manufacturer's recommendations unless noted otherwise or if not compatible to finished surfaces. 3.07 Joints � : A. �Control joints in floor slabs shall be sawcut 1/8" wide by a depth equal to 1/4 the slab thickness unless shown otherwise on the drawings. The slab shall be �Sawed as soon as the edges of the cut will not raveL B. �onstruction joints shall be located by the Contractor in conformity with the predetermined joint layout. If concreting is interrupted long enough for the : placed concrete to harden, a construction joint shall be used. The details of the joint shall be as shown on the drawings. C. Joints shall be filled no sooner than 90 days after concrete slabs are poured. 3.08 Tole�rances A. Float and Broom Finish: Plane within 5/16-inch in 10 feet as determined by a �10-foot straightedge.

The testing agency shall obtain samples of fresh concrete in accordance with ASTM C172. 1/24/11 G003-107\03300 � 03300 - 13 Cast-In-Place Concrete C. Testing Frequency. The frequency of tests on each type of concrete shall be one test per 100 cubic yards, one test per 5,000 square feet of surface area for slabs or walis, one test per truck for columns and piers, or one test minimum per day. D. Test Specimens. 1. Each test shall consist of four cylinders which are made and cured in accordance with ASTM C31 and tested in accordance with ASTM C39. One cylinder shall be tested at 7 days, two cylinders shall be tested at 28 days, and one kept as a spare. The minimum average of the 28-day cylinders shall be 4,OOd psi with a minimum of 3,500 psi for either. 2. Shov�ld the average compressive strength of the 28-day specimens or the com�ressive strength of any single specimen fall more than 500 psi below the minimum strengths specified above, the Engineer shall have the right to order a change in the mix design for the remaining portion of the work. The Engineer shall; also have the right to order additional curing of the affected concrete followed by cores taken in accordance with ASTM 042 and ACI 318, all at the expqnse of the Contractor. If the additional curing does not bring the average compressive strength of the 28-day cores taken in the afFected area to at least _ the rpinimum strength specified, the Engineer may require that the Contractor strengthen the structure by means of additional concrete and steel or he may . require that the Contractor replace the affected portions. The cost of all such changes in mix designs and any modifications to or replacement of deficient concrete shal! be borne by the Contractor at no additional cos# #o the Owner. E. Slump. Determine the slump of concrete for each test in accordance with ASTM C143. If a HPWR admixture is used then the slump shall be measured before and after the addition of the admi�cture. F. Air Content. Determine air content of concrete for each test only for the concrete requiring �ir entrainment. Air content tests shall be made in accordance with ASTM C231. , i G. TemperatUre. At each test, record the temperature of each concrete sample and of the ambient air. H. The testing agency shall report all test data in a concrete test report to the Engineer. I.
