This edition of Pub 408 is found in Hardcopy, Web, and CD-ROM Versions. Pub 408/2003 may be located on the PENNDOT website (go to: : Design/Construction / select Construction / then click on: Construction SPECIFICATIONS ). The CD-ROM is obtained by subscription only. As on the Web, each new CD-ROM will contain all previous Edition/Change(s) in their entirety, with changed pages integrated.

2 Standard Special Provisions (SSPs) and Master Construction Items that apply to Publication 408/2003: SSPs and Master Items are maintained in ECMS (Engineering and Construction Management System) and accessible on the Web to both PENNDOT business Partners and Public Users. This is the only access provided to these documents and lists to all users. Public Users should go to the ECMS website ( then go directly to Design Admin without logging in). Design Admin provides access to both Master Items and SSPs. business Partners can login before selecting Design Admin if they want access to other more complete ECMS data and information applying to PENNDOT projects and schedules.

3 Use of Dimension Values: Pub 408/2003 is a single set of Construction SPECIFICATIONS that contains all measurements in dual values, Metric followed by English in parentheses. This feature was used to facilitate the construction of individual projects using Metric or English dimensions, not a mixture. Prior to the initiation of a project s design the Department will specify the dimension value to be used throughout. Subsequently, dual values will not be indicated on design drawings, renderings, or in details and instructions that are project specific. Similarly, there will not be a mixing of values in formulating calculations or in presentation. In addition, to provide clarification, each project bid proposal will contain a Special Provision that will specify the dimension value to be used.

4 Changes and their Effective Dates: The Web and CD-ROM versions will be updated with new pages on the occasion of each semiannual change, but only the Hardcopy version subscribers will receive Changes with separate copies of each new page for posting. However, each Transmittal Letter will indicate the most recent changes and will contain a list of the current changes and a Historical Index of all changes to date.
