Grove Village be and is hereby amended to read as follows:
"Sidewalks. I£ the property subdivided is located within the Village

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:

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.

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.

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

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.
