Abstract:
The NYS Department of Transportation is implementing Trns*port SiteManager, including both Construction and Materials functionality. Implementation of standard AASHTO software enables SiteManager to allow revising this agency's practices to be more consistent with industry-accepted best practices. The revisions to the Standard Specifications are to conform to SiteManager's methodology in defining its Material Codes and Pay Items. Specification 733-04 is being assigned the material specifications related to subbase course. Specification 744-05 through specification 733-07 and Specification 733-19 are being assigned the material specifications related to recycled materials that may be used as an alternate to a granular subbase material. Specification 733-08 through Specification 733-16 are being assigned the material specifications related to earthwork. Specification 733-17 and Specification 733-18 are being assigned the material specifications related to embankment construction control devices. Specification 733-20 is being assigned the material specifications related to underdrain filter material. Specification 733-21 through Specification 733-23 are being assigned the material specifications related to stone filling and rip-rap installations. These changes align the specifications with SiteManager's methodology in defining its Material Codes and Pay Items, with Items referring to one or many materials.
