1 The RCE will determine the suitability of materials salvaged from the existing structure for use in the relocated structure. 2 Use new material for brick or concrete block to reconstruct exterior walls, pillars, and chimneys that cannot be moved with the structure. Use masonry mortar that conforms to Subsection 718.2. 5. 3 Construct concrete driveways and walkways to replace existing drives and walks according to Section 720. Construct driveways at a uniform thickness of 6 in. and walkways or sidewalks at a uniform thickness of 4 in. 4 Use new materials for all well casings, water pipes, and steps unless the material salvaged from the old structure is acceptable to the owner and RCE . 5 Use new material for septic tanks and sewer pipes.

808.3 Construction

1 Scheduled moving items include relocating buildings or structures with incidental improvements or appurtenances, such as walkways, driveways, animal enclosures, fences, steps, pipe lines, septic tanks, pumps, grease pits or lifts, signs, plants, shrubs, etc., that are not an integral part of the relocated item and may not necessarily be shown on the Plans, but its moving is necessary because of the relocation of a building or structure. Each moving item is identified by a unique schedule number. 2 Investigate each moving item and determine the actual work involved in the moving and relocation of each item before bidding. The size and description of buildings or structures, distance to be moved, and placement elevation shown on the Plans are only approximate. The RCE may require the Contractor to move any building or structure an additional distance of 50 ft; raise or lower from the final elevation shown on the Plans a distance of 18 in.; or turn a building or structure through an angle of 15 degrees more or less than indicated on the Plans at no additional cost to the Department. 3 Moving items as parts of power transmission or other public utility lines are approximate for the distance to be moved, materials to be furnished, and appurtenances. Perform the work according to the owner’s standard practice
