1-2017 APWA Manual of Standard Specifications Amendment No. 2.pdf

This is an amendment document to the 2017 Manual of Standard Specifications, adopted by the Standard Specifications Committee and published by the Utah LTAP Center at Utah State University in collaboration with APWA (American Public Works Association) and AGC (Associated General Contractors) representatives. Amendment No. 2 modifies specific sections of the manual by deleting and replacing Section 32 12 05 (Bituminous Concrete) and Section 32 12 16.13 (Plant-Mix Bituminous Paving) with updated provisions. The amendment was approved on September 19, 2022, with signatures required from both AGC and APWA representatives to validate the modifications. All other provisions in the original 2017 manual and previous amendments remain in full force and effect.

The amendment pertains to technical specifications for bituminous concrete work, which directly applies to the related 2026 1700 S Utility Project in Utah—a reconstruction effort estimated at $3,000,000.00 to $3,500,000.00 that includes utility work along 1700 S, 800 E, and 750 E between State Street and University Parkway. The project encompasses storm drain, water line, and sewer line installation and replacement, along with concrete flatwork and sidewalk improvements. Contractors bidding on this project would be required to comply with the updated bituminous concrete specifications outlined in Amendment No. 2.
