Instructions to Designers
This Section is effective immediately and shall apply to all projects, except those projects where the implementation of the new criteria will require substantial cost or schedule changes. In such cases, the Designer shall contact the Department's Project Manager to determine how to proceed.
Various subsections within Section 10 refer to the Standard Construction Details. Standard Construction Detail CD-602-1, Pipe End Sections, and CD-616-1, Slope and Channel Protection are being updated via BDC98D-001 to conform to the revisions and/or additions to Subsections 10-05.2, 10-06.2 (Subpart Y), 10-08.6 (Subpart A through C), and 10-09.
