Standard Specifications

The City of Fort Wayne Department of Public Works has developed the Recurring Special Provisions (RSP’s) to modify and supplement the current INDOT standard specifications.The RSP’s shall be used on all Public Works projects to assure PW standards are followed. 

The Unique Special Provisions (USP’s) have been developed to modify or supplement either the INDOT standard specifications or FW’s RSP’s. The specifier on each project is responsible for reviewing and determining which USP’s are applicable for the project and making any necessary changes to them in accordance with INDOT’s standard USP process.

Anything needing added that is not covered by one of the current specifications shall have a new USP written and approved by the PublicWorks Technical Specifications Committee. Please submit request to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
