These specifications cover materials, classifications, mix designs, proportioning, and testing of Portland cement
concrete. All concrete shall be air entrained unless otherwise shown on the plans.
The 2009 Edition of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Highway Construction
govern, approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, January 4, 2010. All
references to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation Commission pertaining to the 2009 Specifications and
Standards shall be interpreted to mean the City of Ada. All references to the “Engineer” in the Oklahoma
Department of Transportation specifications shall be revised to read the “City of Ada - Public Works Director”, or
his designee. All references to the “State”, “Department”, “Highway Department” or “Transportation Commission”
shall be interpreted to be “the City of Ada - Public Works Division” or “City of Ada” as applicable. Within these
specifications the 2009 Edition of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Highway
Construction shall hereinafter be referred to as the “2009 ODOT Specs”, and the City of Ada shall hereinafter be
referred to as the “City”.

Note: Fly ash meeting the requirements of the 2009 ODOT Specs Section 702, “Supplementary
Cementitious Materials” may be substituted for up to 20% of the required cement. Make cement
substitutions on a one-to-one basis by weight [mass].
1) Use the weight of each material to calculate the water to cement ratio (W/C) using the following equation:
W/C=Water/(Cement + Fly Ash)
Determine the water use by adding the water measured into the batch, the water used in admixtures, and the
free water on wet aggregate and subtracting the water absorbed by dry aggregate.
2) Ensure the slump reflects a workability appropriate for the application. If using a high-range water-
reducing admixture, limit the slump to a maximum of 9 in [230 mm]. A specified concrete slump to be
delivered to the site shall be ordered by a city representative that is within the range in Table 1 for the class
ordered. A minimal amount of water may be added once on site to achieve the needed slump for the work
to be performed. Water shall not be added in large amounts to achieve the slump ordered.
3) Compressive strength shall be based on the average of the results of three test cylinders. Table 2 lists the
proper uses for each class of concrete:

B) Proportioning
Design and produce concrete mixtures in accordance with Table 1, “Concrete Classes”. The mix design shall
be based on the absolute volume for the class of concrete specified and the consistency suitable for satisfactory
placement of the concrete. Proportioning of the coarse and fine aggregate shall comply with ACI 211.1. Fine
aggregate and the mixing water shall be kept to a minimum to ensure concrete of the required workability for
placement.
High early strength concrete shall be 3000 psi concrete that meets the minimum strength requirement within 72
hours of placement.
The following information is required for each mix design:
1) City identification included with each mix design designation
2) Name and address of producer
3) Mix design designation
4) Aggregate sources, gradation, moisture content, and saturated surface dry batch mass
5) Water source and test reports required by 2009 ODOT Specs Subsection 701.4, “Water”
6) Fine aggregate fineness modulus
7) Cement type and sources
8) Fly ash source, if used
9) Type of admixtures and sources
10) High Range Water Reducer, if used in accordance with 2009 ODOT Specs Subsection 701.03.C, “High
Range Water Reducer (HRWR) Concrete Mixture
11) Material proportions
12) Unit weight
13) Air content
14) Slump
15) Water to cement ratio
16) Compressive strengths at 7 days and 28 days
17) Compressive strengths at 72 hr for high early strength concrete
18) Flexural strength at 28 days or 56 days for Class A used for concrete paving
Submit new mix designs if:
• The City rejects the mix design
• Material sources change
• The mix design produces unacceptable workability or production test results
With the extended bids that the City uses, source substitutions are allowed, but the substitutions must be
submitted to the City for approval before using a new source.

(c) Base compressive strengths on the
average of three test cylinders.
(d) Base flexural strengths on the average of
two test beams.

Portland Cement
Provide cement that meets the requirements of the 2009 ODOT Specs Subsection 701.02, “Portland Cement”.
Admixtures
Only admixtures approved in the mix design and included in the bid price shall be used in any concrete. No
admixtures shall be used to replace cement within the mix design. In using admixtures the producer shall:
• Accurately measure admixtures into each batch,
• Dispense admixtures in liquid form. Provide dispensers large enough to measure the quantity for each
batch. Unless liquid admixtures are added to pre-measured water, arrange the discharge to uniformly flow
into the water stream.
• Store admixtures to prevent freezing. Agitate admixtures to prevent solids from separating or settling. Do
not use air agitation.
• If more than one liquid admixture, use separate equipment to provide and dispense each admixture. Ensure
that admixtures are compatible when used in combination.
• Air entraining admixtures shall be added during batching only.
