Welcome
I. Administrative
- Minutes of previous district meeting and schedule of district
meetings
The minutes will be approved at the meeting. The schedule of district meetings is an informational item. - Technical committee reports
Status report from the technical committees that have met since November. - SUDAS-related research projects
Status report on the current SUDAS-related research projects.
II. Design Manual Items
- Listing SUDAS figures (Chapter 1)
Staff has been asked if Engineers normally place the SUDAS figures directly in their plans and/or if they provide a tabulation of the applicable figures in the plans. Chapter 1 (General Provisions) lists plan sheet requirements, but does not mention the figures. - Iowa DNR's Standards for Storm Sewers
Iowa DNR recently contacted SUDAS staff requesting input on their revised standards for sewer systems. The SUDAS Design Manual currently references these standards in Chapter 3 (Sanitary Sewers) and Chapter 4 (Water Mains). The recently revised Specifications Section 4010 (Sanitary Sewers) also references these standards. - Utilities (Chapter 9)
A draft of the newly written Utilities chapter (Chapter 9) that included the structural design of pipes information was presented at the November meetings as an informational item. Various revisions have been made, including a new general information section and new utility location figures. The current Utilities chapter has also been reformatted and the cross-sections have been updated.
III. Specifications Manual Items
- Earthwork, subgrade, and subbase (Section 2010)
District committee members requested a revision to the compaction testing measurement and payment item. Staff has made other various revisions. - Trench and trenchless construction figures (Division 3)
The trench and trenchless construction figures have been revised as a part of Phase II of the Iowa DOT and SUDAS inconsistencies project. - Spot repairs by pipe replacement (Section 4050)
Execution language about pipe repair couplings needs to be added to Section 4050 (Pipe Rehabilitation) because there currently is product information but no reference to its use anywhere. - Sewers and drains figures (Division 4)
As a part of Phase II of the Iowa DOT and SUDAS inconsistencies project, revisions were made to the figures within Division 4 (Sewers and Drains). - Valve box and fire hydrant adjustments (Section 5020)
Valve box and fire hydrant adjustments were removed from Section 2010 (Earthwork, Subgrade, and Subbase) to include in Section 5020 (Valves, Fire Hydrants, and Appurtenances). - Structures for sanitary and storm sewer figures (Division 6)
Since sections 6010 (Structural Concrete), 6020 (Manholes), and 6030 (Intakes) were combined into one section as a part of Phase II of the Iowa DOT and SUDAS inconsistencies study, the figures needed to be renumbered and reviewed. - Pavement removal (Sections 7010 and 7020)
Pavement removal was included in Section 2010 (Earthwork, Subgrade, and Subbase) but is more appropriate to include in the two paving sections. - Recreational trails, sidewalks, and driveways (Section 7030)
The Recreational Trails, Sidewalks, and Driveways section (7030) was also rewritten as a part of Phase II.
