I£ the property subdivided is located within the Village or immediately adjacent thereto, sidewalks shall be required. tdalks without parkways between street pavement and walks are prohibited in residential areas. All sidewalks shall be constructed in accordance with the following Elk Grove Village Sidewalk Standards: A B. C D. E. General The work performed under these standards shall consist of the construction of portland cement concrete sidewalks constructed as described herein. Such side- walks shall have a minimum width of 4 feet and a minimum thickness of five inches except where passing across an existing or proposed driveway and where passing over public utility lines for a length equal to the length of the re- inforcinZ bars where they shall have a minimum thickness of 6 inches. Where adjacent sidewalks exist, sidewalks shall be constructed to meet the grade of such sidewalks or as may be directed by the Village Engineer or his representa- tive. The location of sidewalks and grade for sidewalks when no adjacent sidewalks exist, shall be as directed by the Village Engineer or his representa- tive. .Materials All materials shall conform to the requirements Details, as set out in the Standard S ecificatio struction adopted January 2, 1958 by the Divisi o�c Works and ituildings, State of Illinois tions thereto effective January 3, 1966. of Division III, %terial ns for Road and Bridge Co and MIM Sidewalk shall be constructed of Class X concrete as defined in Section S2 of the Standard Specifications and Supplemental Specifications aforesaid. The composition, consistency, mixing, placing, compacting, finishing and curing of concrete for sidewalk shall be in accordance with the requirements of the applicable paragraphs of said Section 52 and the Supplemental Specifi- cations except for requirements that may be otherwise statehereiniicE shall t e precedent over the Standard Specifications and Supplemental Speci- fications. Proportioning Concrete The proportions of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water will be determined by the contractor and shall have the approval of the Village Engineer, before the work begins, so as to produce a workable plastic concrete having a compressive strength of not less than 3,000 pounds per square inch, when tested by standard methods. The proportions shall include not less than 5�a bags of cement per cubic yard of concrete. 11iis determination shall be based upon tests of the aggregates selected by the Builder for use in the work. The quantities of aggregates for each batch of concrete shall be measured by weigIrt. Delivery tickets shall be furnished to the Village at the time of pouring, when requested. Subgrade Preparation The subgrade shall be tamped or rolled until thoroughly compacted and shall be constructed true to grade. The sidewalk shall be laid upon a base of granular material 5 inches in thickness. Fills where required must be compacted solidly. Materials for fills shall be gravel or crushed stone and placed and tamped in six-inch layers. The top! of all fills shall extend at least one foot beyond the edge of the walk. Subgrade in cut shall be prepared sufficiently wide to accommodate the forms. Side slopes shall slope one foot vertical to three feet horizontal to meet existing ground surface. -2- F. Forms Side forms shall be of lumber of not less than 2 inches nominal thickness and a minimuu depth of five inches, no 2" x 4" forms shall be used, or of steel of equal rigidity. They shall be held securely in place by stakes or braces with the top edge true to line and grade. The fonas for the sidewalk shall be set so that the slab will have a fall of one inch vertical to four feet horizontal from the edge nearest the property line toward the edge farthest from the property line, except as may be otherwise directed by the Village Engineer or his representative. G. Reinforcing Reinforcing bars shall be embedded in the concrete at mid -depth in a longi- tudinal direction over all existing water or sewer services or other utilities buried beneath the sidewalk. Three 3/4" diameter bars each with a minimum length of ten feet shall be installed over each utility. The bars shall be equally spaced across the width of the sidewalk. Bars shall conform with the current Standard Specifications for Billet Steel proper position of the reinforcement. H. Placing and Finishing After the subgrade has been finished and prior to placing concrete the Contractor shall notify the Village "tanager 24 hours prior to pouring. No concrete shall be placed until the subgrade has been inspected and approved by the Village. The subgrade shall be moistened just before the concrete is placed. The concrete shall be placed in successive batches for the entire width of the slab, struck off frau 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the finished slab, tamped until all voids are removed and free mortar appears on the surface, thoroughly spaded along the edges, struck off to the true grade, and finished to a true and even surface with floats and trowels. The final troweling shall be done with a steel trowel, leaving a smooth, even surface. After the water sheen has disappeared, the surface shall be given a final finis' i by brushing with a whitewash brush. The brush shall be drawn across the sidewalk at right angles to the edges of the walk, with adjacent strokes sli5-htly overlapping, producing a uniforn, slightly roughened surface with parallel brush marks. The surface shall be divided by grooves constructed at right angles to the center line of the sidewalk. These grooves shall extend to 1/4 the depth of the sidewalk, shall not be less than 1/8 inch and not more than 1/4 inch in width, and shall be edged with an edging tool having a 1/4 inch radius. All slabs shall be 4 feet long on any cne side, unless otherwise ordered by the Village Engineer. The edges of the slabs shall be edged as described above. I. Temperature Control Temperature control shall be in accordance with the requirements of Article 48.30 of the Standard Specifications aforesaid, and approval of the Village Engineer. J K. L. M. -3- Protection from Low Temperatures Tile sidetiralk .hall he protected from low temperatures as specified in Article 48.31 of the Standard S eciticatw„s alu c—klpleriental Specifications aforesaid. No concrete slia 1 be placed on c , snow or frozen subgrade. the 3uilder shall be responsible for all concrete damaged by low temperatures and any concrete so damaged shall be removed ani replaced by hin, at his expense. Expansion Joints Expansion joints of the thickness specified below shall consist of pre -formed joint filler. The top of the joint shall be placed 1/4 inch below the rmrPac of tie sidewalk. (a) One -]calf Inch Thick Expansion Joints. Expansion joints 1/2 inch i -I. c siall be placed betlireen the sidewalk and all structures such as light standards, traffic light standards, and traffic poles, which extend through the sidewalk. (b) Three -Fourth Inch Thick Expansion Joints. Expansion joints 3/4 inch thick shallbe place at interva s 0 S6 feet in the sidewalk and where specified. by the Engineer. Bdhere the sidewalk is constructed adjacent to pavement or curb having expansion joints, the expansion joints in the sidewalk shall be placed opposite the existing expan- sion joints as nearly as practicable. Expansion joints shall also be placed where the sidewalk abuts existing sidewalks, between driveway pavement and sidewalk, and between sidewalk and curbs where the sidewalk abuts a curb. Backfill After the concrete has been cured forms shall be the ed, -es of t -Te sidewalk shall be backfilled to material approved by the Village. The Material firm and the surface evenly graded. Curing removed and the space near the required elevation with shall then be compactedruntil Sidewalks must be cured as specified in Article 48.26 of the Standard Specifi- cations and Supplemental Specification. N. Disposal of :surplus Material Surplus or waste material resulting• from the sidewalk: construction operation shall be disposed of by the Builder. 0. Control of i Iaterials The Builder shall at his expense have a reputable testing laboratory satisfactory to the Village, make one 14 -day compressive test and one 29 -day compressive test on concrete cylinders made from concrete taken from the forms. The laboratory shall make a written report to the Village on their findings. All -work shall be done in accordance with standard procedures. One report and the associated tests shall be submitted for each day's run of concrete placement. -4- P.
