Uniform Standard Specifications and Details for Public Works Construction

SPONSORED and DISTRIBUTED by the

2016 Revision to the 2015 Edition

ARIZONA

FOREWORD

Publication of these Uniform Standard Specifications and Details for Public Works Construction fulfills the goal of a group of agencies who joined forces in 1966 to produce such a set of documents. Subsequently, in the interest of promoting county-wide acceptance and use of these standards and details, the Maricopa Association of Governments accepted their sponsorship and the responsibility of keeping them current and viable.

These specifications and details, representing the best professional thinking of representatives of several Public Works Departments, reviewed and refined by members of the construction industry, were written to fulfill the need for uniform rules governing public works construction performed for Maricopa County and the various cities and public agencies within Maricopa County who could not afford to promulgate such standards for themselves. Agencies in other regions or climes that desire to use these specifications may need to make adjustments for local conditions.

A uniform set of specifications and details, updated and embracing the most modern materials and construction techniques will reduce conflicts, provide clarity and lower construction costs for the benefit of the public.

Use of these standards for projects outside of the right-of-way should be reviewed by professional engineers and architects and applied with care to insure relevance to the planned work.

Specifications and details should be incorporated into project plans and specifications after careful review by the design engineer or architect of specific project needs. Not all specifications contained herein will apply to all projects. Prepared plans and specifications should clearly call out only those specific uniform specifications and details required for the project.

Uniform specifications and details are not a substitute for good engineering judgment. Unique conditions will arise that are outside the scope of these standards. When this happens, professional engineers and architects are required to use their judgment to amend these standards to best meet site-specific project needs in accordance with the rules set forth by the State of Arizona and policy statements made by the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration.

The Uniform Standard Specifications and Details for Public Works Construction are revised periodically and reprinted to reflect the changing technology of the construction industry. To this end a Specifications and Details Committee has been established as a permanent organization to continually study and recommend changes to the Specifications and Details.

Interested parties may address suggested changes and questions to:

Standard Specifications & Details Committee c/o Maricopa Association of Governments

302 North First Avenue, Suite 300 Phoenix, Arizona, 85003

Suggestions will be reviewed by the committee and appropriate segments of the construction industry and revisions will be published the first of each year. A copy of this publication is available for review on the internet at the website listed below.

Please follow the links to the publications page and look for Uniform Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction and/or Uniform Standard Details for Public Works Construction:

www.azmag.gov

In the interest of regional uniformity, it is hoped that all using agencies will adopt these standards with minimal changes. It is recognized that because of charter requirements and for other reasons, some agencies will find it necessary to modify or supplement certain requirements. In the interest of regional uniformity, it is strongly recommended that using agencies bring desired modifications to the MAG Committee for consideration and inclusion into these standards.

Whenever in these specifications or in other contract documents the following terms or pronouns in place of them are used, the intent and meaning shall be interpreted as follows:

Addendum: A supplement to any of the Contract Documents issued, in writing, after advertisement of but prior to the opening of bids for a contract.

Advertisement: The public announcement, as required by law, inviting bids for work to be performed or materials to be furnished.

Agency: The governmental agency for which the construction is being done, either by permit or contract.

Architect: The individual or firm who has accomplished the architectural services for the project, including his representatives.

Arizona Test Method: Arizona Department of Transportation Materials Testing Manual test method.

Award: The formal action of the governing body is accepting a proposal.

Backfill: Material placed in an excavated space to fill such space. For trenches, see definitions for Initial Backfill and Final Backfill.

Base Course: The upper course of the granular base of a pavement or the lower course of an asphalt concrete pavement structure.

Bedding: A material layer placed on top of the trench foundation to the bottom of the pipe, typically 4-6 inches in height. The bedding establishes the line and grade for a conduit and provides support that is firm, but not hard.

Bidder: Any qualified individual, firm, partnership, corporation or combination thereof, acting directly or through a duly authorized representative who legally submits a proposal for the advertised work.

Board of Supervisors: The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors acting under the authority of the laws of the State of Arizona.

Bond Issue Project: A project financed from bonds issued by the City or County pledging credit or a revenue resource.

Bridge: A structure, including supports, erected over a depression or an obstruction, as water, highway, or railway, and having a track or passageway for carrying traffic or other moving loads and having a length measured along the center of roadway of more than 20 feet between undercopings of abutments or extreme ends of openings for multiple boxes.

(Length) The length of a bridge structure is the over-all length measured along the line of survey stationing back to back of backwalls of abutments, if present, otherwise end to end of the bridge floor; but in no case less than the total clear opening of the structure.

(Roadway Width) The clear width measured at right angles to the longitudinal centerline of the bridge between the bottom or curbs or guard timbers or in the case of multiple heights of curbs, between the bottoms of the lower risers.

Building: Any structure built for the support, shelter, or enclosure of persons, animals, chattel or movable property.

Building Code: A regulation adopted by the governing body establishing minimum standards of construction for the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare in terms of measured performance rather than in terms of rigid specification of materials and methods.

Calendar Day: Every day shown on the calendar.

101-4

Call for Bids: The standard forms inviting proposals or bids.

“Careful and prudent manner”: means conducting excavation in such a way that when it approaches within twenty-four inches of the underground facility located and marked by the owner or operator, by stakes, paint or in some customary manner, the exact location is manually determined, and the uncovered facility is supported and protected.

Change Order: A written order issued by the Engineer to the Contractor to make changes in the work or to perform extra work, and setting forth conditions for payment and/or adjustment in time of completion.

City: A municipal corporation, organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Arizona.

City/County Clerk: The duly authorized person who performs the duties of clerk for the Contracting Agency.

Completion Time: The number of calendar days for completion of an act, including authorized time extensions. In case a calendar date of completion is shown in the proposal in lieu of the number of calendar days, the contract shall be completed by that date. The time within which an act is to be done shall be computed by excluding the first and including the last day; and if the last day be Sunday or a legal holiday, that shall be excluded.

Conflicting Utility: An existing utility, shown or not shown on the plans is conflicting when any part of the utility falls within the dimensions of the new installation, such that it would be in physical contact with the new installation.

Construction Project: The erection, installation, remodeling, alteration, of durable facilities upon, under, or over the ground.

This shall include, but is not limited to buildings, roadways and utility pipes, lines, poles or other structures.

Contingent Bid Item: This is a minor bid item which is likely, but not certain, to occur during the course of work. If the Engineer determines that this work is required, the Contractor will accomplish the work and payment will be made based on the contingent unit bid price included in the proposal. Since the quantity listed in the proposal is primarily for bid comparison, the amount of work required by the Engineer may vary materially from this.

Contract: The written instrument executed by the Contractor and the Contracting Agency by which the Contractor is bound to furnish all labor, equipment, and materials and to perform the work specified, and by which the Contracting Agency is obligated to compensate the Contractor therefore at the prices set forth therein. The Contract Documents are herewith by reference made a part of the contract as if fully set forth therein.

Contract Documents: All the integral documents of the contract, including but not limited to, Call for Bids, Plans, Standard Specifications and Details, Special Provisions, Proposal, Addenda, Performance Bond, Payment Bond, Certificates of Insurance, Ordinance, Contract, and Change Orders.

Contracting Agency: The legal entity that has contracted for the performance of the work or for whom the work is being performed.
