Remove metal chain link fence gate and store for reuse. Remove lawn sprinkler heads and lines which are affected by the work. Option for demolition and new work: Remove entire area of poorly poured concrete beyond the fence and finish area in decorative rock. The area is approximately 240 square feet. Additionally, extend garage door stoop to 5' deep, or approximately 12 square feet of concrete. NEW WORK Relocate lawn sprinkler heads and line away from the new sidewalk locations. Level ground, compact under areas of new sidewalks and lay washed gravel a minimum of 4" deep to create an under-slab drainage matt. Using concrete pumping equipment lay the new reinforced concrete sidewalks a minimum of five feet wide and 4" deep as shown on the site plan drawing. The approximate areas of new concrete are 255 square feet. Sidewalks are to slightly cross slope away from the house. Provide tooled joints every five feet along the length of the sidewalks. Finish with a broom finish. The sidewalks are to finish level with existing concrete work and slope no more than 1:20 along their lengths. At the front entry door, provide an additional two feet of stoop to make it 5 feet deep and start the new sidewalk level with the top of the stoop. Slope the sidewalk to finish level with the garage slab at its termination. At the opposite side of the driveway, start the sidewalk level with the driveway slab and slope the sidewalk up slightly to finish level with the existing stoop and the back garage door. Continue the walkway, sloping down slightly to finish level with the back patio. Replace back yard gate and set it slightly higher to clear level of new sidewalks.

San Jacinto Ave. Monday Thursday San Jacinto, CA 92583 8am 11:45am and 1pm 4pm Telephone: 951-487-7330 CLOSED on Friday info@sanjacintoca.us CONCRETE SIDEWALK SPECIFICATIONS HOME MODIFICATIONS, SAN JACINTO, CALIFORNIA 8 MAY 2017 1. Planning a. Thickness. 4 inches b. Base. Firm, non-expansive sound subsoil and 4" washed gravel sub base of varying sizes c. Reinforcement. Galvanized 6x6 10/10 Wire mesh d. Drainage. Surface of the finished slab is to slope no more than 1/4 in per ft away from house. 2. Preparation a. Excavating. Remove all organic matter - sludge, leaves, tree roots, wood, etc. b. Compaction. Sub-soil on which concrete is to be placed must be compacted uniformly and evenly at 95% Proctor. c. Forms. Stake securely. Scrape base away from forms so edges will be full thickness. d. Isolation. Before concrete is delivered, install pre-molded joint material wherever flatwork comes against buildings, steps, walls, existing slabs, etc. Joint material must extend all the way to the bottom of the slab. e. Moistening. Shortly before placing concrete, wet the forms and the subgrade. Do not over ­ moisten the subgrade and do not use a membrane under the concrete pour. 3. Specifications for Concrete a Strength: A durable concrete mix design must be a minimum 4000 psi at 28 days. b. Air: Air content when placed 6 1/2 % - (5% to 8%) c. Slump: Slumps should be 4 in. +/- 1in. The slump should not exceed 5 in. for durable concrete. 6 in. is too wet to use. Slumps greater than 4" will prolong the time before finishing can occur. d. Aggregates: Use clean, sound aggregates. 4. Placing - Pumping only a. Addition of Water: Water should not be added at job site. Batches which do not pass slump testing will be rejected. b. All concrete should be placed within 90 minutes from the time the truck was loaded. In hot weather the time limit is to be shortened to maintain durable concrete. Prolonged mixing time or waiting time on the job cart result in a loss of air content and/or slump. c. Filling the Forms: shovel concrete directly to its final position. Screed {strike off) twice to level the surface. Immediately use wood or mag bull float to take out small high and low spots. Then, stop everything on that portion of the slab until bleed water {water sheen) disappears from the surface. d. Finishing operations should not be performed when there is excess moisture or bleed water on the surface. No adding of water or cement to the concrete surface to assist in finishing. 5. Finishing a. Steel troweling of the concrete surface is not recommended. b. When to finish: Immediately after all the bleed water is gone is the proper time to (1) broom surface; (2) if hand tooled, cut control joints while concrete is still plastic and (3) edge 6. Curing a. Curing: Curing is essential for surface durability. Fresh concrete must be kept warm and moist until the mixing water combines chemically with the cement (hydration). Without proper curing concrete may not reach proper strength. b. Curing in Warm Weather: Use a curing compound applied according to the manufacturer recommendations. In very hot weather, use white pigmented liquid membrane curing compound to avoid excess evaporation. c. Curing In Cold Weather: Concrete must be kept from freezing after it is placed. The concrete must be kept from freezing for at least the first week after it is placed. In cold weather, spread a thick layer of straw over it and then cover that with a black plastic sheet, or completely cover it with insulating blankets manufactured for concrete curing. d. Avoid any curing procedure that lets the surface dry in a short time, which stops the hardening process and will cause scaling. e. Drying: Concrete is to be placed so that it has one month of temperature above 40 ° F for curing and another month for drying out before freezes are expected. 7. Additional Requirements: a. Do not allow vehicles to use the new concrete for 7 days. b. Ensure there is proper drainage around the concrete and off the surface of the concrete in order that rain water does not undermine the slab c. Sealers: Water-repellent coatings or sealers are not to be applied prior to the period of air drying or no less than 14 days after placement.
