  3. Caltrans construction contract standards include: • Standard specifications • SSPs • Standard plans • Standard bid item codes • Bid book • Notices to bidders

  4. 2010 Scope • Incorporate amendments into the std spec book • Incorporate many SSPs into the std spec book • Incorporate new and revised std plans into the std plan book • Comply with the Style Guide for 2010 Specifications (includes plain language)

  5. How are the 2010s different? • 2010 standard specs and SSPs have the same technical content, but the wording is different. Many SSPs have been moved into to the standard specs. • SSPs are shorter, have new numbers, and have a new format • Bid Items are nearly the same • Standard Plans are nearly the same

  6. How are the 2010s better? • For specification engineers, it is easier to assemble the special provisions because there are fewer SSPs and the SSP numbers match the section numbers in the 2010 Standard Specifications • For contractors and resident engineers, this means shorter special provisions with numbering that matches the standard specifications • For everybody, the specification language is more direct and more clear

  7. How will I convert my old jobs using the 2010 standards? • Completely redo the notice to bidders and special provisions • Update the references to standard plans • Use standard bid items when you update the estimate

  8. 2010 Schedule • Final documents will be posted on the Internet by April 2011 • There will be a 1 year transition • By April 2012, all contracts must be created using the 2010 standards • After April 2012, the 2006 standards will not be maintained
