in areas adjacent thereto that expect to be annexed to the City in the future shall

UTILITY TRENCHES: All utility trenches shall be back filled with pneumatically
tamped sand to a point three feet beyond the curb lines. If the paving work is not
to be done for six to eight months after the completion of the utility lines, it is
considered safe to water tamp the sand back fill.
SUBGRADE: All plastic subgrade shall be stabilized for a depth of six inches
with some suitable stabilizing admixture, or material, to produce a subgrade that
is stable.
FLEXIBLE BASE PAVEMENTS: For strictly local use residential streets, which in
the future will"not be likely to have heavy traffic, the minimum pavement shall be
l " of hot-mix asphalt surface on a stable 6" flexible base. Thicker bases will be
required on heavily traveled streets or thoroughfares to meet the requirements of
the Department of Public Works.
Base material shall be crushed conglomerate, or crushed limestone, of uniform quality
and gradation. The product shall have a minimum of 55% of the material held on a
1/4" mesh sieve. The soil binder shall not exceed 25% nor have a plasticity index
greater than 10. plasticity reduction may be produced by intimately mixing a
suitable admixture with the material.
CEMENT STABILIZED BASE PAVEMENT: On anticipated heavily traveled streets, or
in areas where seepage will injure flexible bases, portland cement stabilization
of the base material may be required. Such stabilization shall be done in con-
formity to the requirements of the Public Mbrks Department.
REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT: Reinforced concrete pavement shall be used on
streets that are water channels and on business streets where the traffic may be
heavy or concentrated.

a bond guaranteeing his work against all defects for a period of two years.
UTILITY LINES: All utilities shall install mains and services that mill be
under paved areas prior to the construction of any pavements.
