About this file
This is a precast vault toilet specifications document prepared by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) for Pod 13 at Ramsey Lake State Recreation Area (SRA), associated with IDNR File #5-19-097. The project requires construction of three new vault toilets featuring precast concrete single or double restroom structures to be delivered and installed on crushed stone foundations. The specifications detail dimensional requirements for single restroom buildings (7'-0" x 11'-11" x 8'-7" exterior) and double restroom buildings (11'-11" x 13'-9" x 9'-5" exterior), with interior spaces accommodating a minimum 60-inch diameter unobstructed turning area. The structures must comply with design standards including Seismic Design Category C, 30 PSF roof live load for snow, 100 PSF floor live load, and 115 MPH wind loading. Acceptable precast manufacturers include Easi-Set Worldwide, CXT Precast Products, and Crest Precast, with the same manufacturer providing all structures. The specifications require monolithic panel construction for roof, floor, and walls with sealed interior joints featuring locked-in coving, post-tensioned reinforcement, and gabled roofs with 3/12 pitch and simulated cedar shake finishes.
The project specifications establish stringent material and quality assurance requirements, including 5,000 PSI minimum 28-day compressive strength steel-reinforced concrete, ASTM A615 Grade 60 reinforcing steel, and post-tensioning strand enclosed in greased plastic sheath creating a cable pattern with no less than 2.5 parallel cables in any direction. The precast concrete building producer must be certified by the National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA), the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI), or equivalent, with a minimum of five years' experience manufacturing and setting precast concrete. Fixtures and accessories include 3'-0" x 6'-8" insulated metal restroom entry doors with commercial-grade locks and stainless steel self-closing hinges, waterless ADA-compliant toilets with 304 stainless steel risers, stainless steel grab bars, aluminum wall vents with mesh screens, and aluminum vault cleanout covers rated for 300 PSF pedestrian loads. Site preparation requires a minimum 4-inch thick aggregate subbase compacted to 95 percent maximum dry density with vertical soil capacity of 1,500 pounds per square foot, positive drainage around the building, and contractor provision of adequate level workspace for crane and tractor-trailer placement with no overhead lines within 75 feet of the pad center.

C. Post-tensioning Strand: 41K Polystrand CP50, ½” 270 KSI Seven-Wire strand, enclosed within a greased plastic sheath (ASTM A416). Each Roof and floor shall be post-tensioned using a single, continuous tendon. Said tendon is placed in the concrete slab to form a perimeter loop starting from one corner of the slab to a point where the cable entered the slab. The tendon then turns 90 degrees and follows the cable member(s) in the periphery to a point midway along the “X” axis of the concrete building panel and then turns 90 degrees along the “Y” axis of the concrete building panel. This bisects the concrete building panel and crosses the opposite parallel portion of the cable member and exits from an adjacent side of the concrete building panel. This creates a cable pattern with no less than 2.5 parallel cables in any direction. To ensure a watertight design, no alternate methods shall be substituted for the post-tensioning.
D. Sealant: All joints between panels shall be caulked along the exterior and interior surface of the joints. Exterior sealant shall be DOW CORNING 790 silicone sealant or equal.

Crane mats or other temporary means shall be used as necessary to prevent damage to adjacent pavements and features. Any damage shall be repaired at the contractor’s expense. Crane must be able to place outriggers within 5’-0” of edge of pad; truck and crane must be able to get side-by-side under their own power. No overhead lines may be within 75’ radius of center of pad. Firm roadbed with turns that allow 65’ lowbed tractor-trailer must be provided directly to site. No building shall be placed closer than 2’-0” to an existing structure unless specifically permitted.
3.3 EXCAVATION AND ELEVATION
A. Comply with all applicable OSHA standards for excavation.
B. No excavation will be left open without proper shielding of fencing.
C. Excavate for the placement and installation of the toilet vault tank(s) to a depth that will allow the structure site to be free draining. After installation is complete, the depth of the tank excavation should allow for the stone base and leveling course beneath the toilet vault.
D. Finish floor elevation will be at least 4-6 inches above natural grade measured at the front (entrance) of the exterior slab unless otherwise specified or approved by IDNR to maintain site drainage and ADA compliance. The back of the building shall be raised slightly higher to allow water to freely drain out of toilet room(s).
3.4 BACKFILL AND COMPACTION
A. Compact natural subgrade at the bottom of the vault excavation to a minimum vertical soil capacity of 1,500 PSF.
B. Install and compact stone base and leveling course to specified elevation ensuring levelness of the stone.
C. Set the vault(s) in place and check for proper alignment and levelness. Backfill around the structure(s). Use excavated material suitable for backfilling or stone fill. Rocks or stone
IDNR File # 5-19-097 13 34 00-6 July 2026 larger than 6 inches in maximum dimension shall be discarded from excavated material if used for backfilling.
D. Lift thickness for backfill material – loose lifts of 8 inches and 6 inches for vibratory and static compaction respectively.
E. Use compaction equipment suited to achieve specified compaction for subgrade, stone base, and backfill (drum rollers – static and vibratory, rammer, plate tamper – static and vibratory, etc.). Vibrating equipment is used for compaction of course materials.
F. Intended final grade is flush with the top of the front floor slab. Allow for placement of topsoil to reach that grade. Grade backfill away from structure for positive drainage.
