It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth to comply with the requirements of the Asbestos National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) found at 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M. This specification will establish procedures to be used by all Excavators in the removal and disposal of asbestos cement pipe (ACP) in compliance with NESHAP. Nothing in this specification shall be construed to void any provision of a contract or other law, ordinance, regulation or policy whose requirements are more stringent. B. ACP is defined under NESHAP as a Category II, non-friable material in its intact state but which may become friable upon removal, demolition and/or disposal. Consequently, if the removal/ disposal process renders the ACP friable, it is regulated under the disposal requirements of 40 CFR 61 .150. A NESHAP notification must be filed with the Texas Department of Health. The notification must be filed at least ten days prior to removal of the material. If it remains in its non -friable state, as defined by the NESHAP, it can be disposed as a conventional construction waste. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines friable as material, when dry, which may be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressures. C. The Generator of the hazardous material is responsible for the identification and proper handling, transportation, and disposal of the material. Therefore, it is the policy of the City of Fort Worth that the Excavator is the Generator regardless of whether the pipe is friable or not. D. It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth that all ACP shall be removed in such careful and prudent manner that it remains intact and does not become friable. The Excavator is responsible to employ those means, methods, techniques and sequences to ensure this result. E. Compliance with all aspects of worker safety and health regulations including but not limited to the OSHA Asbestos Standard is the responsibility of the Excavator. The City of Fort Worth assumes no responsibility for compliance programs, which are the responsibility of the Excavator. (Copy of forms attached) F. The removal and disposal of ACP shall be subsidiary to the cost of installing the new pipe unless otherwise stated or indicated on the project plans or contract documents. D-68 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION {FOR DISTURBED AREAS GREATER THAN 1 ACRE) PERMIT: As defined by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations, a Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) General Construction Permit is required for all construction activities that result in the disturbance of one to five acres (Small Construction Activity) or five or more acres of total land (Large Construction Activity). The contractor is defined as an "operator" by state regulations and is required to obtain a permit. Information concerning the permit can be obtained through the Internet at http://www.tnrcc.state.tx.us/permitting/water perm/wwperm/construct.html. Soil stabilization and structural practices have been selected and designed in accordance with North Central Texas Council of Governments Best Management Practices and Erosion Control Manual for Construction Activities (BMP Manual). This manual can 11129/04 SC-51 PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS be obtained through the Internet at www.dfwstormwater.com/runoff.html. Not all of the structural controls discussed in the BMP Manual will necessarily apply to this project. Best Manageme nt Practices are construction management techniques that, if properly util ized , can minimize the need for physical controls and possible reduce costs . The methods of control shall result in minimum sediment retention of not less than 70%. NOTICE OF INTENT (NOi): If the project will result in a total land disturbance equal to or greater than 5 acres , the contractor shall sign at the pre-construction meeting a TCEQ Notice of Intent (NOi) form prepared by the engineer. It serves as a notification to the TCEQ of construction activity as well as a commitment that the contractor understands the requ irements of the permit for storm wa ter discharges from construction activities and that measures will be taken to implement and maintain storm water pollution prevention at the site. The NOi shall be submitted to the TCEQ at least 48 hours prior to the contractor moving on site and shall include the re q uired $100 application fee.

LARGE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY -DISTURBED AREA EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 5 ACRES: A Notice of Intent (NOi) form shall be completed and submitted to the TCEQ including payment of the TCEQ required fee. A SWPPP that meets all TCEQ requirements prepared by the Engineer shall be prepared and implemented at least 48 hours before the commencement of construction activities. The SWPPP shall be incorporated into in the contract documents . T he contractor shall submit a schedule for implementation of the SWPPP. Deviations from the plan 11/29104 SC-52 PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS must be submitted to the engineer for approval. The SWPPP is not warranted to meet all the conditions of the permit since the actual construction activities may vary from those anticipated during the preparation of the SWPPP. Modifications may be required to fully conform to the requirements of the Permit. The contractor must keep a copy of the most current SWPPP at the construction site. Any alterations to the SWPPP proposed by the contractor must be prepared and submitted by the contractor to the engineer for review and approval. A Notice of Termination (NOT) form shall be submitted within 30 days after final stabilization has been achieved on all portions of the site that is the responsibility of the permittee, or, when another permitted operator assumes control over all areas of the site that have not been finally stabilized. SMALL CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY -DISTURBED AREA EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN ONE ACRE BUT LESS THAN FIVE ACRES : Submission of a NOi form is not required. However, a TCEQ Site Notice form must be completed and posted at the site . A copy of the completed Site Notice must be sent to the City of Fort Worth Department of Environmental Management at the address listed above . A SWPPP, prepared as described above, shall be implemented at least 48 hours before the commencement of construction activities. The SWPPP must include descriptions of control measures necessary to prevent and control soil erosion, sedimentation and water pollution and will be included in the contract documents. The control measures shall be installed and maintained throughout the construction to assure effective and continuous water pollution control. The controls may include, but not be limited to, silt fences, straw bale dikes, rock berms, diversion dikes, interceptor swales, sediment traps and basins, pipe slope drain, inlet protection, stabilized construction entrances, seeding, sodding, mulching, soil retention blankets, or other structural or non-structural storm water pollution controls. The method of control shall result in a minimum sediment retention of 70% as defined by the NCTCOG "BMP Manual." Deviations from the proposed control measures must be submitted to the engineer for approval. PAYMENT FOR SW PPP IMPLEMENTATION: Payment shall be made per lump sum as shown on the proposal as full compensation for all items contained in the project SWPPP .

Based upon 11129104 SC-53 PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS the City's assessment of the submitted information, a recommendation regarding the award of a contract will be made to the City Council. Failure to submit the additional information if requested may be grounds for rejecting the apparent low bidder as non-responsive. Affected contractors will be notified in writing of a recommendation to the City Council. 0-71 EARLY WARNING SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTION Time is of the essence in the completion of this contract. In order to insure that the contractor is responsive when notified of unsatisfactory performance and/or of failure to maintain the contract schedule, the following process shall be applicable: The work progress on all construction projects will be closely monitored. On a bi-monthly basis the percentage of work completed will be compared to the percentage of time charged to the contract. If the amount of work performed by the contractor is less than the percentage of time allowed by 20% or more (example: 10% of the work completed in 30% of the stated contract time as may be amended by change order), the following proactive measures will be taken : 1. A letter will be mailed to the contractor by certified mail, return receipt requested demanding that, within 10 days from the date that the letter is received, it provide sufficient equipment, materials and labor to ensure completion of the work within the contract time.

Pavement design was performed per the current City of Fort Worth Pavement Design Standards Manual with the exception that only typical testing needed for pavement design was performed as detailed below. Proctor compaction, UU Triaxial tests and CSR tests were not performed. CSR correlations were based on strength, swell and index properties . 1.2 PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purposes of this geotechnical investigation were to: 1) explore the subsurface conditions at the site, 2) provide boring logs that present subsurface conditions encountered including water level observations and laboratory test results, 3) provide thickness measurements of the existing pavements at the core locations, and 4) provide subgrade and pavement recommendations for the taxiways and roadway reconstructions and for the new proposed concrete apron . 2.0 FIELD INVESTIGATION The field investigation consisted of drilling eight (8) test borings at locations shown on Figure 1. The test borings were advanced to depths of 1 O feet. Prior to drilling the existing pavement was cored . A coring machine and core barrels were used to core the existing pavements. A truck- mounted drilling rig was used to advance the borings and to obtain samples for laboratory evaluation . The boring locations were located at the approximate locations shown on the Plan of Borings (Figure 1 ). '' '' MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E06-1108 PAGE 1 . Undisturbed samples of cohesive soils were obtained at intermittent interva ls with standard , thin-walled, seamless tube samplers . These samples were extruded in the field , logged , sealed, and packaged to protect them from disturbance and ma intain their in-s itu moisture content during transportation to our laboratory. A split-spoon sampler was used to obtain samples of granular soils in accordance with the Standard Penetration Test. Rock hardness was evaluated by cone penetration tests . The test borings were backfilled and the pavement patched immediately upon completion of the borings . The results of the boring program are presented on the Logs of Borings , Figures 2 through 9. A key to the descriptive terms and symbols used on the logs is presented on Figure 10 . 3.0 LABORATORY TESTING Laboratory tests were performed on representative samples of the soil to aid in classification of the soil materials . These tests included Atterberg limits tests and moisture content tests. Hand penetrometer tests were performed on the clay soil samples to provide indications of the swell potential and the foundation bearing properties of the subsurface strata . The results of these tests are presented on the Logs of Borings (Figures 2 through 9). The results of a swell test performed on a representative sample of the clay soils at this site are shown on Figure 11. Lime series tests were performed on a selected sample (see Figure 12). Soluble sulfate tests were performed on selected samples (see Figure 13). 4.0 SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS 4.1 GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS Pavement reconstruction with the same curb to curb dimension is to occur within 9 city blocks in four separate areas along NW 22nd Street and NW 23rd Street in Fort Worth, Texas. Pavement design was performed per the current City of Fort Worth Pavement Design Standards Manual with the exception that only typical testing needed for pavement design was performed as detailed below. Proctor compaction , UU Triaxial tests and CBR tests were not performed . CBR correlations were based on strength, swell and index properties . MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E06-1108 PAGE 2 4.2 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Subsurface cond it i ons encoun t e red in the bor ings , i nclud in g des crip t ions of th e va ri ous st rata and the ir d ep ths and t hic kn ess , are presented on the Logs of Bo rings. Note th at dept h o n all bor ings refers to the depth from the exi sting grade or gro u nd surface p resent at the t ime of the invest iga t ion . Boundaries betwee n the va ri ou s so il types are appro xi ma te. 4.3 SITE GEOLOGY As s hown on the Dal las sheet of the Geolog ic Atlas of Texas , the si te is loca t ed in an area underla in by the Fo rt Worth Limestone , Duck C reek and Kiam ichi Fo r ma ti ons . The Fo rmat ions typically consist of interbedded layers of li mes tone and clay . Soils derived from th e fo rmations are typically highly plastic clays exhibiting a high shrink /swell pote nt ial w ith var iations in moisture content. 4.4 GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS The borings were advanced us ing cont i nuous fl ight auger methods . Advancement of the bo ri ngs using these methods allows observation of the in itial zones of seepage . No ground w ater was encountered du ring drilling and the borings were dry at comp let ion . The bor ings were backfill ed and the pavement patched immedia tely upon completion of the bo rings ; therefore , delayed wa te r level readings were unable to be obtained . It is not possible to accurate ly predict the magn itude of subsurface water f luctuat ions that m ight occu r based upon short-te r m observations . The subsurface water conditions are subj ect to change w ith variat ions in clima ti c conditions and are functions of subsurface so il conditions . 4.5 SOIL MOVEMENTS Our scope of work did not incl ude PVR stud ies or recommendat ions to reduce soil swe ll PVR. However, the subsurface exploration revealed clay soils having a moderate to very high shrink/swe ll potential depend i ng upon the moisture condit ion . See F igure 11. Also , as mentioned above , soils derived from the geologic format ions are typically highly plast ic clays exh ibit ing a high shr ink/swe ll potential with variations in mois t ure content. Therefore , differenti al soil swell movements should be anticipated at this site . MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES EOG-1108 PAGE 3 5.0 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1 PAVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS We understand that NW 22nd and NW 23 rd streets are classified as Res idential-Urban (High Volume) w ith the City of Fort Worth . The following traffic data was obtained from Table 4 .1 of the City of Fort Worth's 2005 Pavement Design Standards Manual and was used in developing the pavement section recommendations. 5.2 EXISTING FILL SOILS Annual ESALS • 35,000 % Growth • 0 .0 Percent Design Life • 25 Years The subsurface exploration revealed the presence of existing fill soils within some areas beneath the pavement areas . Existing fill soils were encountered at Boring B-2 to a depth of 2.5 feet and encountered at Boring B-6 to a depth of 7 feet. Due to the close proximity to existing underground utility lines (water and sewer), the existing fill present at Boring B-6 consists of loose non-compact utility trench backfill. The existing fill soils vary from a highly expansive clay soils to non cohesive sand. Based upon the results of standard penetration tests performed on the fill soils, it appears that the existing fill soils have been placed in an uncontrolled manner. Differential settlement, rutting and cracking should be anticipated for pavements placed over existing non-compact fill soils. In order to provide adequate pavement support, we recommend that all existing trench backfill be tested for compaction. All non-compact backfill (having a compaction level below 95% ASTM D 698) should be removed and replaced in 8 inch compacted lifts . We recommend that the base of cut be compacted prior to fill placement. We recommend that a Mas-Tek Engineer or his representative observe the base of cut and compaction operat ions . The contract documents should specified that the contractor is responsible to protect all existing underground utilities from damage duri ng excavation and compaction operations. MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E06-1108 PAGE4 . After excavation to the required subgrade elevation, the ent ire subgrade should be proofrolled . Proofrolling can generally be accomplished us ing a heavy (25 ton or greater total weight) pneumatic tired roller making severa l passes over the areas . Where soft, loose or compressible zones are encountered , these areas should be removed to a firm subgrade. Wet or very moist surficial materials may need to be undercut and either dried or replaced with proper compaction or replaced with a mater ial which can be properly compacted . Any resulting void areas should be backfilled to finished subgrade in 8 inch compacted lifts compacted to 95 percent of maximum dry density as determ ined by ASTM D 698. Clay soils having a Pl over 25 should be compacted at optimum to +3% above optimum. Sandy soils having a Pl less than 25 should be compacted at -2 to +2 percentage points of its optimum moisture content. After proofrolling is performed and any soft, loose or compressible zones are removed and replaced , compact upper 8 inches of subgrade to 95% ASTM 0698 as specified above. Then fill to pavement subgrade using on-site clay soils. Compact the fill in 8 inch compacted lifts compacted to 95 percent of maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 698 as specified above . Where lime-stabilization is to be performed, the upper 8 inches of the pavement subgrade should consist of clay and sandy clay soils that are re latively free of large rock . Sand should not be used as fill in the upper 8 inches of the pavement subgrade. 5.3 SUBGRADE PREPARATION Surficial clays present at this site are active and are subject to losses in shear strength with the increases in moisture content which normally occur beneath area paving . They typically react with hydrated lime which serves to improve their support value at higher moisture levels and provides a firm, uniform subgrade beneath the paving. Based upon the results of Atterberg limits testing , 6 to 8 percent hydrated lime by dry weight (36 to 48 pounds per square yard per 8-inch depth) should be anticipated to stabilize the existing clay subgrade. The actual lime requirement will depend upon the actual subgrade soils exposed at final grade. We recommend that lime / Atterberg limits tests are performed once final pavement subgrade has been achieved in order to determine the optimum amount of hydrated lime required to stabilize the subgrade. The lime should be thoroughly mixed and blended with the highly active subgrade soi l '. MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E06-1108 PAGE5 (TxDOT Item 260) and the mixture compacted to a minimum of 98 percent of maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM D698 , within 2 percentage points of the so il's optimum moisture content. We recommend that this lime stabilization extend 1 to 2 feet beyond pavement edges , if poss ib le, in order to reduce the effects of shrinkage during extended dry periods . After blue t op stakes are set in preparation for grad ing the lime st ab i lized subgrade , depth checks shou ld be performed to verify that the specified de pth of stabilization is present after final grading of the stabilized subgrade . In some areas (see Borings B-3 and B-4), native hard tan limestone is anticipated t o be encountered at final pavement subgrade . In areas where native hard tan weathered limestone is exposed after excavation to final pad subgrade as verified by a Mas-Tek engineer, lime stabilization would not be required . Instead, the rock should be ripped to a 6 to 8 inch depth, crushed to a maximum rock s ize of 6 inches and compacted at or above optimum to 95% ASTM D1557 (modified Proctor density). We recommend tha t the pavement subgrade be observed by a Mas-Tek Engineer to del i neate where li me- stab ilization is not required. Sand should be specifically prohib ited beneath pavement areas during final grading (after stabilization), since these more porous soils can allow water inflow, resu lting in heave and strength loss of subgrade soils . It should be specified that on ly lime-stabilized so il (or compacted rock fines where limestone is present at final pavement subgrade) will be a ll owed for fine grading . After fine grading each area in preparation for paving , the subg rade surface should be lightly moistened, as needed , and recompacted to obtain a tight non- yield ing subgrade . Project specifications should allow a curing period between initial and final mixing of the lime/soil mixture . After initial mixing , the lime treated subgrade should be lightly rolled and maintained at or within 5 percentage po ints above the soil's optimum moisture content until final mixing and compaction . We recommend a 2 to 3 day curing period for these soils. The following gradation requirements are recommended for the stabilized materials prior to final compaction: Min imum Passing 1 3/4" Sieve Min imum Passing No . 4 Sieve MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES Percent 100 60 EOG-1108 PAGE 6 All non-slaking aggregates retained on the No . 4 sieve should be removed prior to testing . The prepared subgrade should be protected and moist cured or sealed with a bituminous material for a minimum of 7 days or until the pavement materials are placed . Pavement areas should be graded at all times to prevent ponding and infiltration of excessive moisture on or adjacent to the pavement areas . Due to the presence of expansive clay soils , some pavement movements should be anticipated . Inspection during construction is particularly important to insure proper construction procedures are followed. Where asphaltic concrete pavement is used, a geotextile separator should be placed on the lime-stabilized subgrade at the contact between the flex base and the lime-stabilized subgrade . The geotextile shall be as specified in the "Special Technical Specificat ions " in Appendix C of the City of Fort Worth 's 2005 Pavement Design Standards Manual. 5.4 PAVEMENT SECTION RECOMMENDATIONS The pavement section recommendations provided below were designed based upon AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures using DARWin 3.1 computer program .

The concrete having a minimum 28 day compress ive strength of 3,600 psi. Concrete quality will be important in order to produce the desired flexural strength and long term dura bili ty. Assuming a nominal maximum aggregate size of 1 inch to 1 3/8 inches , we recommend that the concrete have entrained air of 5 percent (± 1 % ) with a maximum water cement ra t io of 0.44. . I MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E06-1108 PAGES I ·;. .. •• . Proper joint placement and design is critical to pavement performance . Load transfer at al l joints and maintenance of watertight joints should be provided . Contro l joints should be sawed as soon as possible after placing concrete and before shrinkage cracks occur. All joints including sawed joints should be properly cleaned and sea led as soon as possible to avoid infiltration of water. The joint construction and spacing and reinforcing should be in accordance with the City of Fort Worth 's 2005 Pavement Design Standards Manual. We recommend that the perimeter of the pavements have a stiffening curb sect ion to prevent possible distress due to heavy wheel loads near the edge of the pavements and to provide channelized drainage. All asphaltic concrete construction should comply with requirements of TxDOT, Item 340 (1993 Edition). The flex base should meet requirements of TxDOT Item 247, Type A, Grade 1, compacted in 4 to 6 inch lifts at or above optimum moisture content to a minimum of 95% Modified Proctor density (ASTM D1557). 5.5 PAVEMENT CONSIDERATIONS It is recommended that provisions be made in the contract to provide for proofrolling in areas where the subgrade will support new pavements . It is also recommended that an item be included for removal and replacement of soft materials , which are identified by this procedure . Proofrolling can generally be accomplished using a heavy (25 ton or greater total weight) pneumatic tired roller making several passes over the areas . Where soft or compressible zones are encountered, these areas should be removed to a firm subgrade . Wet or very moist surficial materials may need to be undercut and either dried or replaced with proper compaction or replaced with a material which can be properly compacted. Any resulting void areas should be backfilled to finished subgrade in 6 inch compacted lifts compacted to 95 percent of maximum dry density as determined by ASTM 0698 . Clay soils having a Pl over , 25 should be compacted at optimum to +3% above optimum. Sandy soils having a Pl less than 25 should be compacted at -2 to +2 percentage points of its optimum moisture content. Achieving the required field density is dependent upon the adequate pulverization of the clay fill materials, the magnitude of compaction energy and the maintenance of field moisture near opt imum. All joints and pavements should be inspected at regular interva ls to ensure ' ; ; MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E06-1108 PAGE 9 proper performance and to prevent crack propagation . The so il s at the site are active and differential heave within the paving areas will occur. In some areas , relatively deep expansive clay soils are present (see Borings B-5 , B-7 and B-8). Large upward pavement movements due to soil swelling are anticipated in these areas . Large differential upward pavement movement could also occur in any areas where the pavement is widened. If it is desired to reduce differential upward soils swell movements, excavation and moisture conditioning in lifts would be required. The extent of excavation would depend upon the des ir ed tolerance for movement. The service life of paving may be reduced due to water infiltrat ion into subgrade soils through heave induced cracks in the paving section . This will result in softening and loss of strength of the subgrade soils. A regular maintenance program to seal paving cracks will help prolong the service life of the paving. The life of the pavement can be increased with proper drainage. Areas should be graded to prevent ponding adjacent to curbs or pavement edges. Backfill materials , which could hold water behind the curb, should not be perm itted. Flat pavement grades should be avoided . Due to the presence of deep utility backfill in some areas and highly expans ive clay in other areas, the use of reinforced concrete pavement would be preferred to accommodate differential pavement movements . 5.6 SITE GRADING AND DRAINAGE All grading should provide positive drainage away from the proposed pavements and should prevent water from collecting or discharging near the pavements. Water must not be permitted to pond adjacent to the runway pavements during or after construction . Otherw ise, soil swell movements could exceed the estimates contained in this report. The pavements will be subject to some post construction movement. Joints in the pavements should be sealed to prevent the infiltration of water. Since some post construction movement of pavement may occur , joints should be periodically inspected and resealed where necessary. . MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E06-1108 PAGE10 . . 5.7 FIELD SUPERVISION AND DENSITY TESTING Field density and moisture content determinations should be made on each lift of fill with a minimum of 1 test per 150 l.f. of pavement. Supervision by the field technician and the project engineer is required. Some adjustments in the test frequencies may be required based upon the general fill types and soil conditions at the time of fill placement. Many problems can be avoided or solved in the field if proper inspection and testing services are provided . It is recommended that all site and subgrade preparation and pavement placement be monitored by a qualified engineering technician . Density tests should be performed to verify compaction and moisture content of any earthwork. Inspection should be performed prior to and during concrete and asphalt placement operations . Mas- Tek Engineering & Associates, Inc. employs a group of experienced , well-trained technicians for inspection and construction materials testing who would be pleased to assist you on this project. 6.0 LIMITATIONS The professional services, which have been performed, the findings obtained, and the recommendations prepared were accomplished in accordance with currently accepted geotechnical engineering principles and practices .
