9 These STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS for road and Bridge Construction are written to the bidder, before the award of the Contract, and to the Contractor. The sentences which direct the Contractor to perform work, are written in the active voice-imperative mood. These directions to the Contractor are written as commands. For example, a requirement to provide cold weather protection would be expressed as, Provide cold-weather protection for concrete, rather than The Contractor shall provide cold weather protection for concrete.

10 In the imperative mood, the subject the bidder or the Contractor is understood. All other requirements to be performed by others have been written in the active voice. Sentences written in the active voice identify the party responsible for performing the action. For example, The Engineer will determine the density of the compacted material. Certain requirements of the Contractor may also be written in active voice, rather than active voice-imperative mood. Sentences that define terms, describe a product or desired result, or describe a condition that may exist are not written in either the active voice or the imperative mood.
