655-1 DESCRIPTION. This work shall consist of furnishing and placing frames, grates, covers and
curb boxes for drainage structures as shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer.
655-2 Materials
655-2.01 Castings. All cast ings manufactured in conformance to the Standard Sheet “Telescoping
Manhole Casting & Ring” shall meet the requirements of §715 -05 Iron Castings, Class No. 30B or Class No. 35B. All other castings ( gratings, covers, frames and curb boxes ) shall meet the requirements of §715 -02, Steel Castings, Grade N -1; or §715 -07, Proof -Loaded Iron Castings; or §715 -09, Malleable Iron Castings, Grade 32510, at the Contractor's option. No substitutions will be allowed.
655-2.02 Fabricated Articles. All frames, grates and appurtenant parts shall be fabricated from steel
conforming to ASTM A36, AISI Grade 1020 Steel, AISI Grade 1025 Steel, or ASTM A529 Gr. 50, except that the longitudinal bars for grates G1, G2, G3, 10 PCB, 11 PCB and 12 PCB shall meet the requirements of ASTM A529, Gr. 50. The Contractor shall submit mill certifications, to the Engineer, for ASTM A529, Gr.50. Welding or splicing by welding of any member of the frame or grate, other than the welds shown on the standard sheets, plans, approved shop drawings, approved Materials Details, or in the proposal will not be permitted. Galvanizing shall be in accordance with §719 -01 Type I, unless indicated otherwise. Welding shall comply with the requirements specified in the New York State Steel Construction Manual, except that radiographic inspection will not be required.
655-3 Construction Details
655-3.01 Frames and Grates. Frames, covers and grates shall be placed true to line and grade. Covers,
grates and frames shall make firm, full and even bearing on their respective underlying surfaces and shall be non -rocking under the influence of traffic or other loads. On all frames, the Contractor shall have the option of drilling and tapping holes or drilling hol es in and welding nuts to the bottom of the frame to facilitate the stud bolts used to hold down the grate. Alternate forms of locking will be approved by the office of Design. Unless otherwise specified, the hole shall be drilled and tapped or the nut welded to the frame before any galvanizing. The threads shall be tapped sufficiently oversize to conform to the dimensions for coarse thread with class 2B tolerances prescribed in the American National Standards for Unified Screw Threads, ANSI Bi.1., after galvanizing.
655-3.02 Field Repairs for Improperly Fitting Systems. The Contractor may propose to the Engineer
reasonable field repair procedures for improperly fitting castings. No field repairs of improperly fitting fabricated frames and grates shall be allowed. Field repairs may include grinding and/or proper welding techniques for the materials involved. Repairs that involve welding shall be allowed only on steel castings, and not on iron, and only with prior approval of the DCES. Implemented repairs must result in systems whose constituent parts have full, uniform and even bearing contact on their respective

All such repairs must be completely satisfactory to the Engineer or the work will be rejected. All repairs shall be done at no cost to the State.
655-4 Method of Measurement
655-4.01 Frames and Grates. The quantity to be measured for payment will be the number of frames
and grates satisfactorily installed.
655-5 Basis of Payment
655-5.01 Frames and Grates. The unit price bid for each frame and grate shall include the cost of
furnishing all labor, materials and equipment necessary to satisfactorily complete the work, including the cost of any field repair work for improperly fitting castings or to render the frame and grate non -rocking. Payment will be made under: Item No. Item Description Pay Unit 655.0701 Cast Frame F1, Mountable Curb Box CM1 & Reticuline Grate G1 Each 655.0702 Cast Frame F2, Mountable Curb Box CM2 & Reticuline Grate G2 Each 655.0703 Cast Frame F3, Mountable Curb Box CM3 & Reticuline Grate G3 Each 655.0704 Cast Frame F1, UnMountable Curb Box CU1 & Reticuline Grate G1 Each 655.0705 Cast Frame F2, UnMountable Curb Box CU2 & Reticuline Grate G2 Each 655.0706 Cast Frame F3, UnMountable Curb Box CU3 & Reticuline Grate G3 Each 655.0801 Cast Frame F1, Mountable Curb Box CM1 & Parallel Bar Grate 6 PCB Each 655.0802 Cast Frame F2, Mountable Curb Box CM2 & Parallel Bar Grate 7 PCB Each 655.0803 Cast Frame F3, Mountable Curb Box CM3 & Parallel Bar Grate 8 PCB Each 655.0804 Cast Frame F1, UnMountable Curb Box CU1 & Parallel Bar Grate 6 PCB Each 655.0805 Cast Frame F2, UnMountable Curb Box CU2 & Parallel Bar Grate 7 PCB Each 655.0806 Cast Frame F3, UnMountable Curb Box CU3 & Parallel Bar Grate 8 PCB Each 655.0901 Parallel Bar Frame 10 PCB & Parallel Bar Grate 10 PCB Each 655.0902 Parallel Bar Frame 11 PCB & Parallel Bar Grate 11 PCB Each 655.0903 Parallel Bar Frame 12 PCB & Parallel Bar Grate 12 PCB Each 655.1003 Welded Frame & Rectangular Grate 3 Each 655.1006 Welded Frame & Rectangular Grate 6 Each 655.1011 Welded Frame & Rectangular Grate 11 Each 655.1016 Welded Frame & Rectangular Grate 16 Each 655.1022 Welded Frame & Rectangular Grate 22 Each 655.1103 Welded Frame & Reticuline Grate 3 Each 655.1106 Welded Frame & Reticuline Grate 6 Each 655.1111 Welded Frame & Reticuline Grate 11 Each 655.1116 Welded Frame & Reticuline Grate 16 Each 655.1122 Welded Frame & Reticuline Grate 22 Each 655.1201 Manhole Frame & Grate Each 655.1202 Manhole Frame & Cover Each 655.1301 Telescoping Manhole Frame & Grate Each 655.1302 Telescoping Manhole Frame & Cover Each SECTION 656 - MISCELLANEOUS METALS
