Standard Plans For Public Works Construction

Since 1967, eleven editions of the popular Greenbook have been used as the official specification, bidding and contract document for many cities, counties and public agencies throughout the West. New federal regulations mandate that all public construction use metric documentation. This complete reference, which meets this new requirement, provides uniform standards of quality and sound construction practice easily understood and used by engineers, public works officials, and contractors across the U.S. Includes hundreds of charts and tables.

The new 2021 Edition brings the specifications in the "Greenbook" completely up to date in accordance with best practices and the latest technologies.

The members of PWSI include the American Public Works Association (APWA), Associated General Contractors of California (AGCC), Engineering Contractors Association (ECA), and Southern California Contractors Association (SCCA),
