Then, from 1991 through 2004, Division вЂњ1-99вЂќ was included in the main Standard Specifications book, and included only the specifications modifyingВ the WSDOT version.

The first version of the local agency GSPs, in 1988, was issued as a separate booklet.

The Subcommittee develops specifications that modify or add to the WSDOT Division 1, applies for approval for use on FHWA-funded projects, and keeps existing specifications up-to-date. The Division 1 Subcommittee is a standing committee, open to anyone who is interested in contributing. They developed a set of General Conditions that modified the WSDOT General Conditions for Local Agency use on all projects, including FHWA-funded projects. Therefore, the APWA-WA Construction Standards Committee, Division 1 Subcommittee, was formed. Local agencies soon realized, however, that the procedures in the WSDOT Standard Specifications, General Conditions (Division 1) werenвЂ™t applicable to many of their projects, as well as not always being compatible with state laws and procedures for local agencies. As you can imagine, this was somewhat frustrating and confusing for public works professionals and contractors alike.ДЄfter someВ ten years of discussion and collaboration, WSDOT and APWA agreed to publish a joint version of what is known as the Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge and Municipal Construction, of which the first edition was published in 1983. Local agency projects using state and federal funds also had to use the WSDOT version. (MRSC has a copy of the 1973 edition.) At the same time, however, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) published their own standard specifications for road and bridge construction on state highways. The ChapterвЂ™s standard specifications governed municipal construction in the 60s and 70s through several editions (the last one was in 1981) and became entrenched in city/county/district codes and boilerplate project specifications. The Washington Chapter of APWA has long been a strong proponent and supplier of standard specifications and drawings for public works projects for local agencies.

If you do not have FHWA/federal funding, you will need to delete one phrase and one RCW citation from the Payment Bond вЂ“ they are flagged in the Word versions вЂ“ they make the bond cover what is normally covered by 5% retainage on a locally funded project.Д«ut before we laud the Subcommittee, a brief history lesson is necessary.

In an ongoing, but intermittent, series of blog entries over the next few months, I hope to recognize groups and individuals in the public works community deserving of recognition. They truly do go beyond and above the call of duty and their paychecks. Plugged in as I am to the greater Washington State public works community, IвЂ™ve had many opportunities over the years to see and to experience the dedication and - well, the devotion - of public works professionals to their craft.
