Review of Inconsistencies Between SUDAS and Iowa DOT Specifications Phase III: Continued Implementation of Recommendations into SUDAS Specifications, TR-607, 2010

The objective of the Phase 3 project was to re-write the identified sections of the SUDAS specifications into the imperative mood, consistent with the format utilized during the Phase 2 project and other work completed by SUDAS staff. Figures for the identified sections were updated to match the new SUDAS format, similar to the Iowa DOT Standard Road Plans. While the Iowa DOT does not intend to incorporate all of the following sections into their specification book, consistency with the Iowa DOT specifications was strived for wherever possible. Maintaining consistency between the specifications simplifies design, bidding, and construction.
