B.Or, to review it first, open the Internet Explorer, then File/Save As. Each GSP is an .rtf file, so it will keep all formatting with most word processing software. In the Index, when there are two or more options for a particular GSP, select the option you want to use. If there are places for fill-in(s) within a particular GSP (shown as $$1$$), insert the appropriate text after you download. NOTE: When the Local Agency GSPs revise only a part of a paragraph(s) in a section of the WSDOT/APWA Standard Specifications, the entire paragraph is repeated, with new text underlined for clarity, and deleted text crossed out. When the entire paragraph or section is revised, underlines are not used. What are Local Agency Approved GSPs? These GSPs replace the "Division 1-99 APWA Supplement" that is no longer part of the Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge and Municipal Construction. These GSPs are still complementary to, and supplement, the Standard Specifications . The numbering system corresponds to that in the Standard Specifications. How does this help you, as a Local Agency? The APWA Division 1 subcommittee is now available to update, revise, and add GSPs in a timely, responsive fashion - based on your needs and input. You may pick and choose which APWA GSPs to use. Multiple Options for one GSP are available to choose from (see 1-04.6 for example). Some have "fill-in" spots, so you have more options. On FHWA-funded projects, there are more choices and on locally-funded projects, there will be a library of well-written, tested specifications from which to choose. How do we add new GSPs or modify these?
