Department of Transportation and the Washington State Chapter of the American Public
Works Association (WSDOT /APWA).
Previously, the 2008 WSDOT /APWA Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge and
Municipal Construction was adopted by City of Tukwila Ordinance No. 2193.
The 2010 edition of the Standard Specifications has been published by WSDOT /APWA.
City staff has revised and updated our construction contract boilerplate documents and
General Special Provisions (GSP's) accordingly. Local agencies must adopt the 2010
Standard Specifications for use in all federally funded projects advertised after April 1,
2010.
An ordinance has been drafted to adopt the 2010 edition of the Standard Specifications,
General Special Provisions and Construction Contract Boilerplate documents. This
ordinance also repeals the previous Ordinance No. 2193.
The Council is being asked to approve the ordinance adopting the 2010 edition of the
