General Changes and Focus
Removed all references to “material uses” unless the use affected the material spec.
Changed all QPL references to “Qualified Brand Name products, (QPL xx).
Did not always change to active voice. This spec often directed to the supplier, not the contractor.
Reorganize and simplify. Ref’d AASHTO, ASTM.
ORGANIZATION
Section titles changed
Put many Miscellaneous sections into other sections
Moved “Masonry Units” into Misc
Gave “Landscaping” it’s own section
Split “Pipes” into 3, combining Concrete Pipe with Precast Drainage Units
Moved “Bridge Railings and Barriers” – Part 8
