This 2009 Edition is the 15th edition, which is updated and republished every three years. In each of the two years between publication of a new Greenbook edition, the changes which have been researched and approved by the committee during the preceding year, are published in pamphlet form as amendments to the current edition. This program maintains a “living” document in public works specifications. Stripes in the margin of each new edition point out significant changes in the text adopted since the preceding edition. Since 1967, eleven previous 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. This complete reference is easily understood and used by engineers, public works officials, and contractors across the U.S. Includes hundreds of charts and tables. The Greenbook consists of six parts:
It is designed to aid in furthering uniformity of plans and specifications accepted and used by those involved in public works construction and to take such other steps as are designed to promote more competitive bidding by private contractors. The Greenbook provides specifications that have general applicability to public works projects. The Greenbook does NOT test or approve products. It is the function of public agencies and private project owners that utilize the Greenbook to determine whether products proposed by a contractor satisfy the Greenbook specifications or the Special Provisions.
