404.3 Construction Requirements

At the end of Sub-Section 404.3.1 insert the following:
The Contractor shall, before materials are ordered, furnish the Engineer for approval plans
of the reinforcement arrangement of each affected structure showing clearly any revised
spacing or diameters of bars required to ensure that the design strength of the structure is
maintained. For the purposes of this Sub-section, design strength shall be define as the
product of yield strength of reinforcing bar and the area of reinforcing bar provided in the
section. Any expense incident to the revisions of materials furnished in accordance with
such plans shall be borne by the Contractor.
Supplement this Section with following:
404.3.7
Rebar Fabrication and Installation
Rebar fabrication and installation shall be done by a competent steel man to ensure good

shown on the drawings, incorporated in concrete and accepted. Reinforcing steel bars shall
not be measured and paid separately where structures are paid in unit, as they are deemed
to be included in the unit pay items of the structures.
The weight of plain or deformed bars or bar-mat information to AASHTO Specifications will
