Work items.
1.02 PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A. Description of Total Project: The S-21 structure is a reinforced concrete, gated spillway with discharge controlled by three-cable operated, vertical lift gates. Operation of the gates is automatically controlled
so that the gate hydraulic operating system opens or closes the gates in accordance with the operational
criteria. The structure is located near the mouth of Canal 1 at its junction with Levee 31E and about
3,500 feet from the shore of Biscayne Bay, in Homestead Florida. The following list outlines the scope
of work:
1. Install active cathodic protection on structure except upper and lower decks utilizing approved
subcontractor.
2. Replace 3 maintenance platforms (lower decks) and 3 operating platforms (upper decks) with
precast units utilizing stainless steel reinforcement. This will require the removal and
replacement of the gate operators.
3. Repair concrete spalls.
4. Remove and isolate embeds as described in plans and specifications.
5. Remove and reinstall all equipment on the operating platform. All equipment shall be realigned
in accordance with section 01670 of the technical specifications. Replace existing permanent
wiring, conduits, spacers, boxes, and supports as required to restore structure to original
condition.
6. Replace two existing light poles and light fixtures.
7. Install passive cathodic protection system on upstream wing walls.
8. Two of the three gates must be in full operational mode at all times as described in sub section
1.07. B.
9. Provide a crane to lift and hold inoperable gates.
10. The contractor shall subcontract to Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute of Florida Atlantic University to disassemble, protect, reassemble, and test the manatee protection system. They
are located at 5600 US 1 North, Fort Pierce, Florida 34946 and the contact person is Larry
Taylor at 772-242-2258.
1.03 RELATED CONTRACT ACTIVITIES:
A. Before work is started on a bay, the manatee protection system for that bay shall be disassembled and
the sensors protected. The manatee protection system for the two operational gates shall remain in service. Upon completion of work in each bay the manatee protection system shall be reinstalled,
tested and placed into service. All underwater debris shall be removed. All work on the manatee
protection system must be performed by Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute of Florida Atlantic
University.
1.04 WORK PERFORMED BY OTHERS:
A. N/A
1.05 CONTRACTOR'S USE OF PREMISES: See General Terms & Conditions Article 6.11.
A. During construction activities, the CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for maintaining all access
roads in good condition, including grading and drainage. See General Terms & Conditions Article
6.13.
Spec. Standard: 08/17/07 01010-2 Revision: 5/14/12
1.06 DISTRICT'S USE OF PREMISES:
A. Partial District Occupancy: The DISTRICT reserves the right to occupy and to place and install
equipment in areas of the Project, prior to Substantial Completion provided that such occupancy does
not interfere with completion of the Work. Such placing of equipment and partial occupancy shall not
constitute acceptance of the Work.
1.07 WORK SEQUENCE, COORDINATION ACTIVITIES AND SCHEDULED DATES:
A. General: The CONTRACTOR will coordinate its work with other adjacent contractors, landowners
and DISTRICT activities, with specific attention to access and staging areas. Construction sequence
shall be determined by CONTRACTOR subject to the following needs for continuous access and
operation by others.
B. The work sequencing and operational requirements are as follows:
1. The Contractor shall follow the sequence listed below. Any variance must be approved in
advance by the District.
2. All work affecting the normal operation of any gate must be completed between October 31,
2012 and April 30, 2013. All gates shall be fully operable by April 30, 2013.
3. Work shall proceed on only one bay at a time. The remaining two bays shall remain in service
continuously. The Contractor should expect normal (including telemetry control) operation of
the remaining gates 24 hours per day. If the Contractor performs work in a bay with an operable gate, the Contractor will be given no less than 4 hours warning to vacate the bay if the
District needs to discharge water through that bay.
4. The gate on the bay that is being worked on must be operational when the Contractor leaves the
site for the night unless a crane is available as described below.
5. Until all gates are fully operable, the Contractor shall provide a crane, equipment and staff on
site to lift and secure the inoperable gate within eight (8) hours from the time of original
notification by the District. Once the gate has been lifted, the Contractor shall provide the
required staff to raise or lower the gate as directed by the District on an hourly basis 24 hours a
day. The tailwater stage at this site fluctuates due to tides which may require hourly gate
adjustments. The Contractor shall provide a crane that can lift the gate. The gate weight is
21,000 pounds and the total vertical lift force required is approximately 26,000 pounds. The District estimates that this crane will be required to lift and secure the inoperable gate for two
(2) separate events with a duration of four (4) days each.
6. The Contractor shall provide all equipment, rigging, tackle, and slings necessary for the crane to
lift and hold the gate in the raised position. The District will not take possession of this
equipment. The gate lifting design plan shall be submitted to District for review prior to
construction. The Contractor shall perform an onsite demonstration of the crane by lifting and holding the gate in the first bay to be worked on after this gate has been disconnected from its
cable drum operating system. This test shall be observed by District field station staff and shall
be successfully completed before starting work on the structure modification.

Spec. Standard: 01/11/07 01015-1 Revision: 11/3/10
SECTION 01015 DEFINITIONS AND STANDARDS
PART 1 - GENERAL
1.01 SCOPE
A. Definitions:
:
1. A substantial amount of specification language constitutes definitions for terms found in other
areas of Contract Documents including drawings which must be recognized as diagrammatic in
nature and not completely descriptive of requirements indicated.
2. Certain terms used in the Contract Documents are defined in the General Terms & Conditions.
Definitions and explanations are not necessarily either complete or exclusive but are general for
the work.
3. The term “DISTRICT”, as defined in the General Terms & Conditions and used in these
specifications, is further defined as the District or District’s authorized representative, which
may include, but is not limited to, the Design Engineer or Construction Manager.
B. General Requirements: General requirements are the provisions or requirements of Division 1 sections
which apply to the entire work of the Contract.
1.02 FORMAT AND SPECIFICATION EXPLANATIONS
A. Format Explanation: The format of principal portions of these specifications can be described as
follows, although other portions may not fully comply and no particular significance will be attached
to such compliance or noncompliance.
:
1. Sections and Divisions: For convenience, basic unit of specification text is a "section", each
unit of which is named and numbered. These are organized into related families of sections,
and various families of sections are organized into "divisions", which are recognized as the
present industry consensus on uniform organization and sequencing of specifications. The
section title is not intended to limit meaning or content of section, nor to be fully descriptive of
requirements specified therein, nor to be an integral part of text.
2. Section Numbering: Used for identification and to facilitate cross-references in contract
documents. Sections are placed in numeric sequence; however, numbering sequence is not
complete, and listing of sections in Table of Contents at beginning of Contract Documents must
be consulted to determine numbers and names of specification sections in these Contract
Documents.
3. Page Numbering: Numbered independently for each section. Section number is shown with
page number at bottom of each page to facilitate location of text.
4. Parts: Each section of these specifications generally has been subdivided into three (3) basic
parts for uniformity and convenience (Part 1 "General", Part 2 "Products", and Part 3
"Execution"). These parts do not limit the meaning of text within. Some sections may not
contain all three parts when not applicable, or may contain more than three parts to add clarity
to organization of section.
5. Imperative Language: Used generally in specifications. Except as otherwise indicated,
requirements expressed imperatively are to be performed by the CONTRACTOR. For clarity
of reading, at certain locations contrasting subjective language is used to describe
responsibilities which must be fulfilled indirectly by the CONTRACTOR or, when so noted, by
others.
6. Specialists, Assignments: In certain instances, specification text requires that specific work be
assigned to specialists or expert entities who must be engaged for performance of those units of
work. These must be recognized as special requirements over which the CONTRACTOR has
Spec. Standard: 01/11/07 01015-2 Revision: 11/3/10
no choice or option. These assignments must not be confused with, and are not intended to
interfere with, normal application of regulations, union jurisdictions and similar conventions.
Nevertheless final responsibility for fulfillment of the entire set of requirements remains with
the CONTRACTOR.
7. Trades: Except as otherwise specified or indicated, the use of titles such as "carpentry" in
specification text, implies neither that the work must be performed by an accredited or
unionized tradesperson of corresponding generic name (such as "carpenter"), nor that specified
requirements apply exclusively to work by tradespersons of that corresponding generic name.
B. Specification Content: Because of methods by which this project specification has been produced,
certain general characteristics of contents and conventions in use of language are explained as follows:
1. Specifying Methods: The techniques or methods of specifying requirements varies throughout
text, and may include "prescriptive", "compliance with standards", "performance",
"proprietary", or a combination of these. The method used for specifying one unit of work has
no bearing on requirements for another unit of work.
2. Overlapping and Conflicting Requirements: Where compliance with two (2) or more industry
standards or sets of requirements is specified, and overlapping of those different standards or
requirements establishes different or conflicting minimums or levels of quality, notify the
DISTRICT for a decision as specified in the General Terms & Conditions.
3. Abbreviations: Throughout the Contract Documents are abbreviations implying words and
meanings which will be appropriately interpreted. Specific abbreviations have been
established, principally for lengthy technical terminology, and in conjunction with coordination
of specification requirements, with notations on drawings and in schedules. These are normally
defined at first instance of use. Organizational and association names and titles of general
standards are also abbreviated.
1.03 DRAWING SYMBOLS
1.04
: Except as otherwise indicated, graphic symbols used on Drawings are those
symbols recognized in the construction industry for purposes indicated. Refer instances of uncertainty to the
DISTRICT for clarification.
INDUSTRY STANDARDS - APPLICABILITY: Applicable standards of construction industry have the
same force and effect, and are made a part of Contract Documents by reference, as if copied directly into the
Contract Documents, or as if published copies were bound herewith. Referenced standards referenced
directly in the Contract Documents or by governing regulations have precedence over non-referenced
standards which are recognized in industry for applicability to work.

tolerances for the work.
1. Inspect and test patched areas to demonstrate integrity of work where feasible.
2. Restore exposed finishes of patched areas and where necessary extend finish restoration into
retained adjoining work in a manner which will eliminate evidence of patching and refinishing.
3. Patch and repair floor and wall surfaces in the new space to provide an even surface of uniform
color and appearance where removal of walls or partitions extends one finished area into
another finished area.
4. If necessary to achieve uniform color and appearance, remove existing floor and wall coverings
and replace with new materials.
5. Extend final paint coat over entire unbroken surface containing patch, after patched area has
received prime and base coat where patch occurs in a smooth painted surface.
6. Patch, repair or re-hang existing ceilings as necessary to provide an even plane surface of
uniform appearance.

END OF SECTION
Spec. Standard: 03/30/07 01300-1 Revision: 11/3/10
SECTION 01300 SUBMITTALS
PART 1 - GENERAL
1.01 SUMMARY
A. This Section includes definitions, descriptions, transmittal, and review of "Compliance" and
"Miscellaneous" Submittals.
:
1.02 GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Definitions:
:
1. Compliance Submittals include shop drawings, product data, and samples which are prepared
by the CONTRACTOR, Subcontractor, manufacturer, or Supplier and submitted by the
CONTRACTOR to the DISTRICT as a basis for approval of the use of Equipment and
Materials proposed for incorporation in the Work or needed to describe installation, operation,
maintenance, or technical properties.
a. Shop drawings include custom-prepared data of all types including drawings, diagrams,
performance curves, material schedules, templates, instructions, and similar information
not in standard printed form applicable to other projects.
b. Product data includes standard printed information on materials, products and systems
not custom-prepared for this Project, other than the designation of selections from
available choices.
c. Samples include both fabricated and unfabricated physical examples of materials,
products, and Work; both as complete units and as smaller portions of units of Work;
either for limited visual inspection or (where indicated) for more detailed testing and
analysis. Mock-ups are a special form of samples which are too large to be handled in
the specified manner for transmittal of sample Submittals.
2. Miscellaneous Submittals are those technical reports, administrative Submittals, certificates,
and guarantees not defined as shop drawings, product data, or samples.
a. Technical reports include laboratory reports, tests, technical procedures, technical
records, CONTRACTOR'S design analysis and CONTRACTOR'S survey field notes for
construction staking, before cross-sections and after cross-sections.
b. Administrative Submittals are those nontechnical Submittals required by the Contract
Documents or deemed necessary for administrative records. These Submittals include
maintenance agreements, workmanship bonds, Project photographs, physical work
records, statements of applicability, copies of industry standards, as-constructed data,
security/protection/safety data, and similar type Submittals.
c. Certificates and guarantees are those Submittals on Equipment and Materials where a
written certificate or guarantee from the manufacturer or Supplier is called for in the
Specifications.
d. Reports as required by Contract describing CONTRACTOR'S means and methods for
items such as dewatering, earth and water retaining, erosion/turbidity control, and safety
plans.
3. Refer to ARTICLE 1.03 of this Part for detailed lists of documents and specific requirements.
B. Quality Requirements:
1. Submittals such as shop drawings and product data shall be of the quality for legibility and
reproduction purposes. Every line, character, and letter shall be clearly legible. Drawings such
as reproducibles shall be useable for further reproduction to yield legible hard copy.
Spec. Standard: 03/30/07 01300-2 Revision: 11/3/10
2. Documents submitted to the DISTRICT that do not conform to these requirements shall be
subject to rejection by the DISTRICT, and upon request by DISTRICT, CONTRACTOR shall
resubmit conforming documents. If conforming Submittals cannot be obtained, such
documents shall be retraced, redrawn, or photographically restored as may be necessary to meet
such requirements. CONTRACTOR'S (or his Subcontractor's) failure to initially satisfy the
legibility quality requirements will not relieve CONTRACTOR (or his Subcontractors) from
meeting the required schedule for Submittal of shop drawings and product data.
C. Language and Dimensions:
1. All words and dimensional units shall be in the English language.
2. Metric dimensional unit equivalents may be stated in addition to the English units.
D. Submittal Completeness:
1. Submittals shall be complete with respect to dimensions, design criteria, materials of
construction, and other information specified to enable the DISTRICT to review the
information effectively.
2. Where standard drawings are furnished which cover a number of variations of the general class
of equipment, each such drawing shall be individually annotated to describe exactly which parts
of the drawing apply to the equipment being furnished. Use hatch marks to indicate variations
that do not apply to the Submittal. The use of "highlighting markers" is not an acceptable
means of annotating Submittals. Such annotation shall also include proper identification of the
Submittal permanently attached to the drawing.
3. Reproduction or copies of Contract Drawings or portions thereof will not be accepted as
complete fabrication or erection drawings. The Contractor may use a reproduction of the
DISTRICT-prepared Contract Drawings for erection drawings such as to indicate information
on erection or to identify detail drawing references. Where the drawings are revised to show
this additional CONTRACTOR information, the DISTRICT'S title block shall be replaced with
a CONTRACTOR'S title block and the DISTRICT'S professional seal shall be removed from
the drawing. The CONTRACTOR shall revise these erection drawings for subsequent
DISTRICT revisions to the Contract Drawings.
1.03 COMPLIANCE SUBMITTALS

END OF SECTION
Spec. Standard: 02/17/12 01310-1 Revision: 06/04/12
SECTION 01310 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES
PART 1 - GENERAL
1.01 SCOPE:
A. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE: The WORK under this contract shall be planned, scheduled, executed, and reported by the CONTRACTOR. The CONTRACTOR shall adhere to established
technical standards for CPM (Critical Path Method) scheduling using the computerized PDM
(Precedence Diagram Method), unless otherwise directed by the DISTRICT. The CONTRACTOR is
required to provide baseline and status data in electronic format.
B. The CONTRACTOR shall submit a detailed construction baseline cost loaded schedule showing all
work required in their contract and scheduled within the time constraints set forth in their contract.
The DISTRICT will review and comment on the Construction Baseline Schedule submittal. Upon
acceptance, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish the DISTRICT electronic format PDF files of the accepted Construction Baseline Schedule as required in this specification. The CONTRACTOR shall
not change the accepted Construction Baseline Schedule without prior concurrence of the DISTRICT.
Once accepted, the Construction Baseline Schedule shall be updated to show actual progress. Any
proposed changes in the schedule activities, logic, activity constraints, other than progress, shall be
incorporated into a request for a revision to the accepted Construction Baseline Schedule and
submitted for review and acceptance.
C. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for coordinating its own schedules (including
subcontractors) as well as the construction activities of others as required to fully execute the Work.
The DISTRICT’s goal is to maintain the overall Construction Program Schedule, of which the
CONTRACTOR’s Construction Schedule will be a part.
1.02 SOFTWARE/INTERFACE REQUIREMENTS:
A. The CONTRACTOR shall use Oracle/Primavera Project Manager latest version or Oracle/Primavera
Contractor latest version for creating and updating all construction schedules and reports.
B. To ensure compatibility for DISTRICT asset accounting, the DISTRICT will provide an asset
accounting Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to be entered into the WBS structure of the scheduling
software as referenced in Section 2.02. The Cost Loaded Schedule shall be used as the basis for
payment.
1.03 QUALITY ASSURANCE:
A. The CONTRACTOR shall perform the work covered by this Section with personnel having substantial
experience in the use of the latest version of Oracle Primavera scheduling software on construction
projects for the development and maintenance of the schedule throughout the project duration.
B. It is the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to work with each subcontractor and supplier to obtain
information pertinent to the planning and updating of their respective activities in the schedules.
1.04 DEALING WITH SUBSTITUTES:
A. All versions of the CONTRACTOR’s Construction Schedule (including Construction Schedule
Revisions) shall be based solely on the WORK as awarded, and shall exclude any substitute proposals,
even if the CONTRACTOR pursues a substitution in accordance with the provisions of the Contract.
B. The DISTRICT’s final determination on any proposed substitutions may not be made until after the
CONTRACTOR’s Construction Schedule is prepared and accepted. Accepted proposed substitutions shall be handled in the schedule as change orders.
1.05 USE OF FLOAT:
A. Total Float is the amount of time a scheduled activity can be delayed without delaying the completion
of the Work beyond the contractually required end date. Contract Float is the number of days between
Spec. Standard: 02/17/12 01310-2 Revision: 06/04/12
the CONTRACTOR’s anticipated date for early completion of the WORK, or specified part, and the
corresponding Contract Time. Total Float and Contract Float belong to the project and are not for the
exclusive benefit of any party. They shall be available to the DISTRICT, their consultants, or the
CONTRACTOR to accommodate changes in the WORK or to mitigate the effect of events which may
delay performance or completion. The DISTRICT will monitor and optimize the use of float for the
benefit of the Project.
B. The CONTRACTOR shall adjust or remove any float suppression techniques (e.g., preferential sequencing, out-of-sequence activity relationships, crew movements, equipment use, form reuse, etc.),
extended durations, imposed dates and others, as a prerequisite to a request for an increase in Contract
Price or Contract Time. Use of constraints should be minimized and require approval by the
DISTRICT.
1.06 EARLY COMPLETION:
A. An early completion schedule is one which anticipates completion of all or a specified part of the work ahead of the corresponding Contract Time. Since Contract Total float belongs to the project, the
CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to any extension in Contract Time or recovery for any delay
incurred because of extensions in an early completion date until all Contract Total float is used or
consumed and performance or completion of the WORK extends beyond the Contract Time. The
accepted baseline schedule must have a single longest path with zero total float. Multiple longest paths
are not acceptable.
1.07 NON-COMPLIANCE:
A. The DISTRICT shall refuse to recommend/authorize progress payment in the event of the CONTRACTOR’s failure, refusal or neglect to provide the required schedule information, since this
will preclude the proper evaluation of the CONTRACTOR’s progress. Remedies for the
CONTRACTOR’s failure, neglect or refusal to comply with the requirements of this Section are in
addition to, and not in limitation of, those provided under other sections of the Contract.
PART 2 - PRODUCTS

specify the progression from the Notice to Proceed to Substantial Completion to Final
Completion within Contract Time.
2. The Construction Schedule is to include appropriate time allowances for submittals,
procurement, coordination with others, construction, start-up and performance testing.
3. Site-related activities shall not reflect a combination of work located in separate structures,
work corresponding to different divisions of the specifications, work performed by first and
second tier subcontractors or rough in and finish work of the same trade.
4. The Notice to Proceed activity shall be the first activity in the schedule and shall be a Start
Milestone with an assigned 7-day, no holiday calendar. The Substantial and Final Completion
activities shall be Finish Milestones with assigned Finish on or Before constraints with the
Contract Substantial and Final Completion dates assigned to the constraints with a 7-day, no
holiday calendar.
5. Primavera Settings:

conformance to the requirements of the Contract Documents. If the schedule is not accepted and
requires revisions, the CONTRACTOR will revise this Initial Construction Baseline Schedule and
resubmit it for review and acceptance within 10 calendar days.
B. Schedule Naming Structure: Once the Baseline Schedule accepted, it becomes the CONTRACTOR’S Baseline Revision 0 Schedule and is the basis for monitoring the CONTRACTOR’S progress against
milestones, Contract Time, and the evaluation and reconciliation of extensions in Contract Time. From
then on, all activities and their relationships may not be changed, added, or deleted without the prior
approval of the DISTRICT. The CONTRACTOR’S Construction Baseline Revision 0 schedule must
be revised when it is no longer useful as a status and control mechanism as determined by the
DISTRICT. All changes must be coordinated with and approved by the DISTRICT. Contract Time
(including all contracted milestones) cannot be changed without a formal Change Order approved by
the DISTRICT. When a revision to the Construction Baseline Schedule is required, a new revised
Construction Baseline Schedule shall be submitted in accordance with change procedures, for review
and acceptance by the DISTRICT. Revisions to the Construction Baseline Schedule shall follow the
naming sequence listed below: (commas (“,” or ampersands (“&”) cannot be used in the naming structure because they are recognized as commands by Primavera).

Project Name – R3A-U0 1st Submission of revised baseline schedule R2A-U0, which is
accepted.
C. Construction Baseline Schedule revisions shall accurately reflect all approved Change Orders
including the exact duration and cost. They will be reviewed for conformance to the requirements of
the Contract Documents as amended by Change Orders.
2.05 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE UPDATES:
A. A Construction Schedule Update is a copy of the accepted Construction Baseline Schedule with
progress added. Progress is Actual Cost earned, Actual Cost %, Actual Duration %, Actual Start Date
and/or Actual Finish date and Actual Units Completed (for resource loading).
B. The Construction Schedule Update is submitted by the CONTRACTOR each month or each week as
the DISTRICT directs the CONTRACTOR based upon the duration of the Contract. The Construction
Schedule Update will indicate actual performed work and work forecast through project completion. The actual schedule data shall record when work was performed. Forecast data will be calculated by
the schedule.
C. All out of sequence activities that originally had a finish to start relationship, but became a start to start or finish to finish relationship must be corrected in the Construction Schedule Update. For other out of
sequence relationships, a revision to the baseline is required.
D. Each Construction Schedule Update shall be named beginning with the Accepted Baseline Number followed by the Update number beginning with “1A” as follows:
Project Name – R0B-U1A 1st submitted update of the accepted baseline R0B, which was
rejected.
Project Name – R0B-U1B Resubmittal of 1st update, which was accepted.
Project Name – R0B-U2A 2nd submitted update of the accepted baseline R0B, which was rejected.
Project Name – R0B-U2B Resubmittal of 2nd update, which was accepted.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 MONTHLY UPDATE CYCLE:
A. Schedule Update Submittals are due every 30 days and are to be attached to each Application for
Payment. The Schedule Update Total Actual Cost to date must match the Application for Payment Work Completed and Stored to Date amount. The DISTRICT will advise the CONTRACTOR of any
change to the due dates.
3.02 CHANGES:
A. Within ten (10) days after a schedule problem is identified by either CONTRACTOR or DISTRICT, or
at any time the percentage of the dollar value for completed work is 10 percent less than the value of
the scheduled work, the CONTRACTOR shall submit a Construction Recovery Schedule that identifies the cause of the Change and any actions required by the CONTRACTOR to recover the
schedule and complete the Work within Contract Time. The CONTRACTOR shall promptly undertake
appropriate action, at no additional cost to the DISTRICT, to recover the schedule whenever the
current schedule shows that the CONTRACTOR did not or can not achieve a milestone established in
the Contract.
B. Appropriate recovery actions include, but are not limited to, assignment of additional labor, subcontractors, equipment, shift or overtime work, expediting of submittal or deliveries, or any
combination of thereof. Overlapping of activities or sequencing changes shall be deemed appropriate
only if properly substantiated in the submittal. Recovery plans that are accepted by the DISTRICT that
add, delete, or change activities, activity relationships, durations or constraints and cost or resource
loading must be submitted as a Revision to the Construction Baseline Schedule with zero total float in accordance with this specification. Once the revised baseline is accepted by the DISTRICT, the
Spec. Standard: 02/17/12 01310-7 Revision: 06/04/12
CONTRACTOR must prepare an update of the Baseline Schedule with all actuals to date and submit it
for acceptance.
C. The CONTRACTOR’s refusal, failure or neglect to take appropriate recovery action or to submit a
written recovery statement shall constitute reasonable evidence that the CONTRACTOR is not
prosecuting the WORK, or separable part, with the diligence that will ensure its completion within the
Contract Time. Such lack of action shall constitute sufficient basis for the DISTRICT to recommend the withholding of some or all of any payment due and/or shall be considered grounds for termination
of the Contract by the DISTRICT in accordance with Article 15 of the General Terms & Conditions.

PART 1 - GENERAL
1.01 SCOPE
A. Summary of Work: This specification section covers furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment for
the alignment of shaft coupled machines to eliminate premature machine failure due to misalignment.
This section provides general information and should not be relied on solely for the alignment
requirements. The CONTRACTOR shall submit detailed descriptions of the alignment methods
proposed for the equipment specified. The focus of the details in regard to the alignment requirements
should be specified in the section that pertains to the equipment.
:
B. Related Work Specified Elsewhere:
1. SECTION 16150 Motors
1.02 DEFINITIONS
ACCESSIBLE: The ability to reach and adjust the aligning feature. Consideration should be given to
confined space restrictions, removing guards, bushing plates, hydraulic lines, lubrication lines, electric lines
etc.
: The following definitions apply to this specification:
ALIGNMENT TARGET SPECIFICATIONS: Desired intentional offset and angularity at coupling center to
compensate for thermal growth and/or dynamic loads. Most properly specified as an OFFSET, and an angle
in two perpendicular planes, horizontal and vertical.
ANGULAR ERROR: A misalignment condition characterized by the angular error between the desired
centerline and the actual centerline. This misalignment condition may exist in planes both horizontal and
vertical to the axis of rotation. (Reference Figure 5)
ANGULARITY: The angle between the rotational centerlines of two shafts. Angularity is a “slope”
expressed in terms of a rise (millimeters or thousandths of an inch) over a run (meter or inches). (Reference
Figure 8)
AXIAL PLAY, AXIAL FLOAT, END FLOAT: Shaft axial movement along its centerline caused by axial
forces, thermal expansion or contraction, and permitted by journal bearings, sleeve bearings and/or looseness.
BASE PLATE: The surface often made of steel plate or cast iron, to which the feet of a machine are attached.
(Reference Figure 10a and 10b)
CO-LINEAR: Co-linear means two lines that are positioned as if they were one line. Co-linear as used in
alignment means two or more centerlines of rotation with no offset or angularity between them. Two or more
lines are co-linear when there is no offset or angularity between them (i.e. they follow the same path).
COPLANAR: The condition of two or more surfaces having all elements in one plane.
COUPLING POINT: The phrase “COUPLING POINT” in the definition of SHAFT ALIGNMENT is an
acknowledgment that vibration due to misalignment originates at the point of power transmission, the
coupling. The shafts are being aligned and the coupling center is just the measuring point.
COUPLED SHAFTS ALIGNMENT: Coupled shaft alignment is the positioning of two or more machines so
that the rotational centerlines of their shafts are co-linear at the coupling center under operating conditions.
Spec. Standard: 11/30/06 01670-2 Revision: 11/3/10
ECCENTRICITY: The distance of the axis from the geometric center. The axis could be the shaft axis or the
rotating center defined by the bearings.
FULL BEARING FITTING SPACER BLOCK: A single spacer block used for aligning the machine tool in
the vertical plane.
FLATNESS: The condition of a surface having all elements in one plane. As used in this specification, a flat
is a small surface flush with or cut into a BASE PLATE, machined flat, and co-planar with the other flats in
the base plate. The flats support the Shims and/or feet of the machine to be installed. A pad is a small block
of metal that serves to elevate the feet of the machine above the surface of the base plate. Pads are commonly
used compensate for differences in machine center line heights, and for increased corrosion resistance by
raising the machine feet out of any possible standing fluids. Pads and flats have holes drilled and tapped in
their centers to accept hold down bolts.
HORIZONTAL: Parallel to the mounting surface.
JACKBOLTS, JACKSCREWS, PUSH/PULL BLOCKS: Positioning bolts on the machine base which are
located at, each foot of the machine and are used to adjust the position of the machines. Bolts mounted on the
machine base or foundation, optimally at the machine foot locations, which provides exact control in
positioning the machine.
LEVEL: Parallel to a reference plane or a reference line established by a laser.
MACHINE: The total entity made up of individual machine components such as motors, pumps, spindles,
fixtures, etc. Also reference MACHINE COMPONENT.
MACHINE BASE: The structure that supports the machine or machine components under consideration.
MACHINE COMPONENT: An individual unit such as a motor, pump, spindle, fixture, etc. often referred to
as a machine in its own context.
MACHINE DEPENDENT: A condition which is dependent on the machining operation and the design
requirement of the part being machined.
OFFSET: The distance (in thousands of an inch or in millimeters) between two reference centerlines such as
a spindle center line and a part characteristic centerline (Reference Figure 6) or the rotational centerlines of
two parallel shafts. (Reference Figure 8)
OUT-OF-ROUNDNESS: Deviation from a perfect circle.
Spec. Standard: 11/30/06 01670-3 Revision: 11/3/10
PITCH: An angular misalignment in the vertical plane.
POSITION ERROR (CENTERLINE/OFFSET MISALIGNMENT): A misalignment condition that exist
when the spindle/shaft centerline is parallel but not in line with (not coincidental) with the desired alignment
centerline. (Reference Figure 6 and Figure 8)
PUSH-PULL BLOCKS: Side push-pull adjustment blocks used for aligning machine tool in the horizontal
plane.
QUALIFYING LEVEL POINTS: Qualified leveling points are locations which have their heights defined
and must be in same plane. That plane must be parallel to the mounting surfaces of the slide assembly.
REPEATABILITY: The consistency of readings and results between consecutive sets of measurements.
RUN-OUT: The composite deviation of a circular part during one full rotation of 360 degrees. Run-out
includes out-of-roundness, eccentricity and offset.
SHAFT ALIGNMENT: Positioning two or more machines (e.g. a motor driving a hydraulic pump(s), etc.) so
that the rotational centerlines of their shafts are collinear at the coupling center under operating conditions.
(Reference Figure 9)
SPINDLE ALIGNMENT: The geometric relationship between the spindle axis or rotation and a reference
datum.
SOFT FOOT: A condition that exists when the bottom of all of the feet of the machinery components are not
on the same plane (can be compared to a chair with one short leg). Soft foot is present if the machine frame
distorts when a foot bolt is loosened or tightened. It must be corrected before the machine is actually aligned.
PARALLEL SOFT FOOT: A parallel gap between the machine foot and its support surface.
ANGULAR SOFT FOOT: An angled gap between the machine foot and its support surface.
INDUCED SOFT FOOT: A type of soft foot that is caused by external forces, (pipe strain, coupling strain,
etc.,) acting on a machine independent of the foot to base plate connection.
“SQUISHY” SOFT FOOT: A type of soft foot characterized by material (shims, paint, rust, grease, oil, dirt,
etc.) acting like a spring between the underside of the machine foot and the base plate contact area.
SPACER BLOCKS: See FULL BEARING FITTING SPACER BLOCK.
STRESS FREE CONDITION: The condition that exists when there are no forces acting on the structure of a
machine, machine component, or machine base that would cause distortion in the structure such as bending,
twist, etc.
THERMAL EFFECTS (GROWTH OR SHRINKAGE): This term is used to describe displacement of shaft
axes due to machinery temperature changes (or dynamic loading effects) during start-up.
TOLERANCE, DEADBAND, WINDOW, OR ENVELOPE: An area where all misalignment forces sum to a
negligible amount and no further improvement in alignment will reduce significantly the vibration of the
machine or improve efficiency.
TOLERANCE VALUES: Maximum allowable deviation from the desired values, whether such values are
zero or non-zero.
TRACKING/TRACKING ERROR: An angular MISALIGNMENT condition between spindle centerline and
the machine way centerline. This condition may be present in both parallel and perpendicular to the way
centerline. (Reference Figure 4)
VERTICAL: Perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

are intended for situations where the
schedule does permit the proper cure
time for concrete and/or grout.
The sketches are divided into
applications as noted on the sketches.
Bases of this type are generally used on
equipment in the range of 10 hp to 500
hp. Depending upon the speed and
size, between 500 hp and 1000hp it
becomes more cost effective to use the
flanges of I-beams mounted cross-
frame to support the machine instead of
using plate.
