INTRODUCTION

This publication has been prepared by the New York City Department of Design
and Construction (NYCDDC) to provide a compilation of standard requirements,
called specifications, used by the New York City Department of Transportation for
street construction contracts. These specifications define the Contractor’s
responsibility in meeting each specification, enumerate the Department’s
expectations and how they are going to measure and pay, and explain what the
Contractor is expected to provide. When this publication, entitled Standard
Highway Specifications and dated February 1, 2009, is incorporated by reference
into the Department’s construction contracts, it is made a part of that document.
