David,
Grade 60 #3 and #4 reinforcing has been readily available for a long time. You would have to check with your local rebar supplier to see if there is any real cost savings in specifying Grade 40. I gave up with the duel grade call outs many years ago but it may still be popular in the low end commercial world.

For as long as I can remember, #3 and #4 deformed bars were typically grade 40, while #5 bars and larger were grade 60. Is that still the case? or is this something local like here in the SF bay area?
