Public Works Construction.
The Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, popularly known as the
"Greenbook", is updated and republished every three years. This is the 12th edition of this
book, which was originally published in 1967.
The 2000 Edition of the Greenbook consists of six parts:
1.
General Provisions
2.
Construction Materials
3.
Construction Methods
4.
Rock Products
5.
Pipeline Rehabilitation
6.
Modified Asphalts
The sidebars in the page margin of the Greenbook indicate either a new or modified
section.
The use of the Greenbook Standards minimizes conflict and confusion in Public Works
construction and tends to lower construction costs through competitive bidding.
