Since that document was published, staff has continued to solicit comments from internal and external customers, and has revised the document to clarify requirements, and include additional requested information on materials, methods, technologies and industry practices. The updated document is now ready for publication. Section 9.08.010 of the District Code requires that the Board of Directors establish the standard specifications by uncodified ordinance.
