1. Review of the 1994 Edition of the City of Sprinqfield Standard Construction
Specifications
City Manager Mike Kelly provided a brief overview of this item and
stated it was intended to focus on the process used for updating the
Standard Construction Specifications rather than the content of the
specifications. He introduced City Engineer Al Peroutka who introduced
Construction Inspector Ron Sather.
Mr. Peroutka commented the last update of the Standard Construction
Specifications was in 1981. He said it had gotten to the point where so
many special provisions were being added to the standard specifications in
bid documents, to reflect new industry practices, that it became necessary
to spend the time updating the standard specifications. Mr. Peroutka
reviewed the list of reviewers to the document including Public Works
Engineering staff, Public Works Maintenance staff, Development Services
Department staff, local contractors, local materials suppliers, local
consultants, and the Department of Environmental Quality.
Mr. Peroutka discussed the highlights of the modifications made to the
document. This included making standard deductions for non-specification
asphalt and concrete. Basing the specifications heavily on American Public
Works Association (APWA) and Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT)
standard specifications. Making the specifications comply with the
Americans with Disabilities Act. Requiring Controlled Density Filled on
all lateral and travelled street cuts. Adding decorative lighting
standards. Making major changes to traffic signal specifications, traffic
control and lane striping. And finally, putting all text and drawings on
computer.
Mayor Morrisette suggested an overview should be added to the document.
Councilor Shaver thanked Public Works staff for working with the public and
the industry on preparing this document. Other Councilors concurred with
Councilor Shaver.

Councilor Shaver asked how the public could receive a copy. Mr. Peroutka
indicated that copies would be available for sale, although he did not know
what it would be priced at yet. He indicated the 1981 Standard Construction
Specifications was sold for $25 and figured this document would be higher
than that.
Councilor Shaver asked if it would be available on computer disk. He
suggested staff ask contractors whether they would want the document on
disk. He, Mr. Peroutka and Mr. Sather discussed ways this could be
accomplished.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:02 p.m.
