Project Title:

Sidewalk removal and replacement

Summary of Work:

Remove and replace old sidewalk. Add concrete pad Infront of shed.

• Excavation: Grade and excavate the pathway to the required depth to accommodate the new base material and concrete thickness.

• Compaction: Compact the existing subgrade dirt.

• Base Material: Supply, place, and compact a minimum of 4” of crushed aggregate base (e.g., Class II base rock). Base material must be compacted to 95% relative compaction to prevent future settling.

C. Forming, Reinforcing, and Pouring

• Formwork: Install straight, rigid forms securely braced to maintain proper alignment and elevation.

• ADA Compliance: Ensure proper cross-slopes (maximum 2%) and running slopes. Install ADA-compliant curb ramps with detectable warning panels (truncated domes) where the sidewalk intersects with roadways.

• Reinforcement: Install #3 rebar at 18-inch centers, or 6x6 wire mesh supported on chairs to remain in the center third of the concrete slab.

• Pouring: Pour concrete to a minimum thickness of 4 inches for pedestrian paths, 6 inches across driveways

• Finish: Apply a light-to-medium transverse broom finish to ensure a non-slip surface. Edge all margins smoothly.

• Joints:

o Saw-cut or tool control joints at intervals equal to the width of the sidewalk o Install half-inch preformed asphalt expansion joint material at all property lines, curbs, existing structures, and at intervals not exceeding

Curing, Cleanup, and Restoration

• Curing: Apply a liquid curing compound immediately after finishing, or cover with wet burlap/plastic sheeting as dictated by weather conditions.

• Form Removal: Remove all wooden or steel forms without damaging the new concrete.

• Backfill and Restoration: Backfill the edges of the new sidewalk with high-quality topsoil. Grade to match the existing landscape, seed with local turf grass, or replace sod as necessary.

• Site Cleanup: Sweep the immediate and surrounding street area, wash down pavement (ensuring slurry does not enter storm drains), and remove all construction materials, tools, and trash.

D. 4. Material Specifications

• Concrete: Ready-mix concrete with a minimum compressive strength of [e.g., 3,000 or 4,000 PSI] at 28 days.
