VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAVI►
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to the award of
contracts to non-resident bidders. The law that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder,
non-resident bidders (out-of-state contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of
business are outside of the state of Texas) bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies
or services in Texas at an mount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same
amount that a Texas resident bidder would be required to underbid a non-resident bidder in
order to obtain a comparable contract in the state in which the non-resident's principle piace of
business is located. The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all out-of-state or
non-resident bidders in order for your bid to meet specifications. The failure of out-of-state or
non-resident contractors to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders
must check the box in Section B.
A. Non-resident vendors in (give state), our principal place of business, are
required to be percent lower than resident bidders by state law. A
copy of the statute is attached.
Non resident vendors in (give state), or principal place of business, are
not required to underbid resident bidders.
B. Our principal place of business or corporate offices are in the State of Texas. �

D-50 PAVEMENT REPAIR (E2-19�
The unit price bid under the appropriate bid item of the proposal shall cover all cost for providing pavement repair equal to or
superior in composition, thickness, etc., to existing pavement as detailed in the Public Works Department typical sections for
Pavement and Trench Repair for Utility Cuts, Figures 1 through 5. '
All required paving cuts shall be made with a concrete saw in a true and straight line on both sides of the trench, a minimum
of twelve (12) inches outside the trench walls. The trench shall be backfilled and the top nine (9) inches shall be filled with
required materials as shown on paving details, compacted and level with the finished street surface. This finished grade shall
be maintained in a serviceable condition until the paving has been replaced. All residential driveways shall be accessible at
night and over weekends.
It has been determined by the Transportation and Public Works Department that the strip of existing HMAC pavement
between the existing gutter and the edge of the trench pavement repair will not hold up if such strip of existing pavement is
two (2) feet or less in width.
Therefore, at the locations in the project where the trench wall is three (3) feet or less from the lip of the existing gutter, the
Contractor shall be required to remove the existing paving to such gutter. The pavement repair shall then be made from a
minimum distance of twelve (12) inches outside the trench wall nearest the center of the street to the gutter line.
The pavement shall be replaced within a maximum of five (5) working days, providing job placement conditions will permit
repaving. If paving conditions are not suitable for repaving, in the opinion of the Owner, the repaving shall be done at the
earliest possible date.
A permit must be obtained from the Department of Engineering Construction Services Section by the Contractor in
conformance with Ordinance No. 3449 and/or Ordinance No. 792 to make utility cuts in the street. The Department of
Engineering will inspect the paving repair after construction. This permit requirement may be waived if work is being done
under a Performance Bond and inspected by the Department of Engineering.

Hydraulically Propelled Equipment shall be of a movable dam type and be constructed in such a way that a portion
of the dam may be collapsed at any time during the cleaning operation to protect against flooding of the sewer. The
movable dam shall be equal in diameter around the outer periphery to ensure removal of grease. If sewer cleaning
balls or other equipment which cannot be collapsed is used, special precautions to prevent flooding of the sewers
and public or private property shall be taken. The flow of sewage present in the sewer lines shall be utilized to
provide necessary fluid for hydraulic cleaning devices whenever possible.
2. CLEANING PROCEDURES: The designated sewer manholes shall be cleaned using high-velocity jet equipment.
The equipment shall be capable of removing dirt, grease, rocks, sand, and other materials and obstructions from the
sewer lines and manholes. If cleaning of an entire section cannot be successfully performed from one manhole, the
equipment shall be set up on the other manhole and cleaning again attempted. If, again, successful cleaning cannot
be performed or equipment fails to traverse the entire manhole section, it will be assumed that a major blockage
exists, and the cleaning effort shall be abandoned. When additional quantities of water from fire hydrants is
necessary to avoid delay in normal working procedures, the water shall be conserved and not used unnecessarily.
No fire hydrant shall be obstructed in case of a fire in the area sen+ed by the hydrant. Before using any water from
the City Water Distribution System, the Contractor shall apply for and receive permission from the Water
Department. The Contractor shall be responsible for the water meter and related charges for the setup, including the
water usage bill. All expenses shall be considered incidental to cleaning.
3. DEBRIS REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL: All sludge, dirt, sand, rock, grease, and other solid or semisolid material
. resulting from the cleaning operation shall be removed at the downstream manhole of the section being cleaned.
Passing material from manhole section to manhole section, which could cause line stoppages, accumulations of
sand in wet welis, or damage pumping equipment, shall not be permitted.
