a. General KCDC will pay attention to finishing and curing, asshould the supplier. Concrete that is not properly finished and/or cured will not be accepted. Therefore, the supplier will: 1. When finishing concrete, ensure that the surface is not finished until after the bleed water has risen. Do not “Bless” the concrete when finishing. Both practices will all but guarantee surface failures. 2. Use two applications of curing compound and the surface should appear uniform in color. If the concrete appears splotchy, not enough compound has been applied. 3. In the process of removal and replacement of existing concrete and/or installation of new concrete, tree root growing under the existing concrete are often encountered and must be removed. Saw cutting the tree root to provide a clean severance from the main tree root system will be used to remove root(s) that are impeding the installation of the replacement concrete work or new concrete work. Any voidsremaining afterthe roots have been removed will be filled and compacted using Crusher Run.” The cost of saw cutting and removal of the tree root(s) will be incidental to the various concrete pay item(s). 4.
