film well weighted at the edge with earth, Polyethylene film shall be kept in
place not less than 5 days, When high early strength cement is used the minimum
curing period shall be forty-eight (48) hours,
An acceptable alternate to the above procedure is the use of spray-on curing
compound which shall be applied to the surface of the curb and gutter irr~ediately
after the final brushing. The compound must contain a fugitive dye, As soon as
the concrete has hardened sufficiently to prevent damage, the finished surface
shall be covered for not less than 48 hours with \~1ite polyethylene film, well
weighted at the edges with earth, An acceptable alternate to the use of polyeth-
ylene film is to provide a second, heavy application of spray-on curing compound
4 to 8 hours after first coat,
The freshly finished surface shall be protected from hot sun and drying winds
until it can be covered as above specified, The concrete surface must not be dam-
aged or pitted by rain, The Contractor shall erect and maintain suitable barriers
to protect the finished surface, Any section damaged from traffic or other causes
occurring prior to its official acceptance, shall be repaired or replaced by the

and gutter and concrete curb of each design and size constructed will be measured
along the face of the curb at the gutter line by length.
At alleys and private entrances the length of curb or curb and gutter will be
constructed to be the length along the street curb line (measured as if the entrance
did not exist) plus the length of any curb (or curb and gutter) which extends be-
yond the curved portion of the return.
