times, when the work is in operation, be represented either in person or by a
superintendent or other designated representatives.
C7-7.2 ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT: The Contractor shall not assign, transfer,
sublet,convey,or otherwise dispose of the contract or his rights, title, or interest in or to
the same or any part thereof without the previous consent of the Owner expressed by

.� operation, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer in five or more copies, if requested
by the Engineer, a progress schedule preferably in chart or diagram form, or a brief

employ only such superintendents, foremen, and workmen who are careful, competent,
and fully qualified to perform the duties or tasks assigned to them, and the Engineer may
demand and secure the summary dismissal of any person or persons employed by the
Contractor in or about or on the work who, in the opinion of the Owner, shall misconduct
himself or be found to be incompetent, disrespectful, intemperate, dishonest, or otherwise

Nothing in these Contract Documents shall be construed as prohibiting the Contractor
from working on Saturday, Sunday,or Legal Holidays,providing that the following
requirements are met:
A. A request to work on a specific Saturday, Sunday, or Legal Holiday must
be made to the Engineer no later than the preceding Thursday.
B. Any work to be done on the project on such a specific Saturday, Sunday,
or Legal Holiday must be, in the opinion of the Engineer, essential to the
timely completion of the project.
The Engineer's decision shall be final in response to such a request for approval to work
on a specific Saturday, Sunday, or Legal Holiday, and no extra compensation will be
allowed to the Contractor for any work performed on such specific Saturday, Sunday, or
Legal Holiday.
Calendar Days shall be defined in C 1-1.24 and the Contractor may work as he so desires.
C7-7.7 TIME OF COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION: The Contractor shall
commence the working operations within the time specified in the Contract Documents
and set forth in the Work Order. Failure to do so shall be considered by the Owner as
abandonment of the Contract by the Contractor and the Owner may proceed as he sees fit.
The Contractor shall maintain a rate of progress such as will insure that the whole work
will be performed and the premises cleaned up in accordance with the Contract
Documents and within the time established in such documents and such extension of time
as may be properly authorized by the Owner.
C7-7.8 EXTENSION OF TIME COMPLETION: The Contractor's request for an
extension of time of completion shall be considered only when the request for such
extension is submitted in writing to the Engineer within seven days from and after the
time alleged cause of delay shall have occurred. Should an extension of time of
completion be requested such request will be forwarded to the City Council for approval_
In adjusting the contract time or completion of the work, consideration will be given to
unforeseeable causes beyond the control of an without the fault of negligence of the
Contractor, including but not limited to acts of the public enemy, acts of the Owner, fire,
flood, tornadoes, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, or delays
of sub-contractors due to such causes.
When the date of completion is based on a calendar day bid, a request for extension of
time because of inclement weather will not be considered. A request for extension of
— time due to inability to obtain supplies and materials will be considered only when a
review of the Contractor's purchase order dates and other pertinent data as requested by
the Engineer indicates that the Contractor has made a bonafide attempt to secure delivery
Fort Worth Water Department C-41 General Conditions
on schedule. This shall include efforts to obtain the supplies and materials from alternate _
sources in case the first source cannot make delivery.
If satisfactory execution and completion of the contract should require work and
materials in greater amounts or quantities than those set forth in the approved Contract
Documents, then the contract time may be increased by Change Order.
C7-7.9 DELAYS: The Contractor shall receive no compensation for delays or
hindrances to the work, except when direct and unavoidable extra cost to the Contractor
is caused by the failure of the City to provide information or material, if any, which is to
be furnished by the City. When such extra compensation is claimed, a written statement
thereof shall be presented by the Contractor to the Engineer and if by him found correct
shall be approved and referred by him to the Council for final approval or disapproval;
and the action thereon by the Council shall be final and binding. If delay is caused by
specific orders given by the Engineer to stop work,or by the performance of extra work,
or by the failure of the City to provide materials or necessary instructions for carrying on
the work, then such delay will entitle the Contractor to an equivalent extension of time,
his application for which shall, however, be subject to the approval of the City Council;
and no such extension of time shall release the Contractor or the surety on his ,.
performance bond from all obligations hereunder which shall remain in full force until
the discharge of the contract.
C7-7.10 TIME OF COMPLETION: The time of completion is an essential element of
the contract. Each bidder shall indicate in the appropriate place on the last page of the
Proposal the number of working days or calendar days that he will require to fully --
complete this contract or the time of completion will be specified by the City in the
Proposal section of the Contract Documents.
The number of days indicated shall be a realistic estimate of the time required to
complete the work covered by the specific contract being bid upon. The amount of time
so stated by the successful bidder or the City will become the time of completion +�
specified in the Contract Documents.
For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted after the time specified in
the Contract Documents, or the increased time granted by the Owner, or as automatically
increased by additional work or materials ordered after the contract is signed, the sum per
day given in the following schedule, unless otherwise specified in other parts of the
Contract Documents,will be deducted from monies due the Contractor, not as a penalty,
but as liquidated damages suffered by the Owner.

3.01 REINFORCEMENT PLACEMENT
A. Place and hold reinforcement in position so that the concrete cover, as
measured from the surface of the bar to the form surface, is as follows:
Concrete cast against permanently exposed earth: 3"cover
All other concrete 2"cover
B. Support reinforcing bars to prevent displacement by construction loads or
concrete placement beyond the specified tolerances.
C. Bends shall conform to the minimum bend diameters specified in ACI
318. Do not straighten or rebend bars. Do not bend reinforcement after
being embedded in hardened concrete.
D. Bars may be moved as necessary to avoid interference with other
reinforcing steel, conduits,or embedded items. If bars are moved more
than two bar diameters,or enough to exceed the specified tolerances, the
resulting arrangement of bars shall be approved by the Engineer prior to
placement of concrete.
E. Splices
l. Length of lap splices shall be in accordance with ACI 318.

bridge screeds, roller pipe screeds, or other approved means. Concrete to ,^
be consolidated must be as dry as practicable. Do not exceed 1/4"over ten
feet.
0i
C. Floated Finish:
1. After concrete has been placed, struck off, consolidated,and
leveled, do not work further until ready for floating. Begin floating
when water sheen has disappeared,or when the mix has stiffened
sufficiently to permit proper operation of a power driven float.
Consolidate the surface with power-driven floats. Use hand
floating with wood or cork-faced floats in locations inaccessible to
a power-driven machine and on small,isolated slabs.
r
2. Recheck tolerance of the surface after initial floating with a 10 foot
straightedge applied at not less than two different angles. Cut PP
down high spots and fill low spots to tolerance. Immediately re-
float slab to uniform, smooth,granular texture.
C. Troweled Finish:
1. To obtain a troweled finish, a floated finish as previously specified
must be applied. After power floating, use a power trowel to
produce a smooth surface which is relatively free of defects but
which may still contain some trowel marks. Do additional
trowelings by hand after the surface has hardened sufficiently.
Thoroughly consolidate the surface by hand troweling operations.
2. Produce a finished surface free of trowel marks, uniform in texture
and appearance, and conforming to a V4" in 10' tolerance.
3. The addition of water during finishing operations shall not be
allowed.
D. Broom or Belt Finish:
1. Immediately after completing the floated finish, draw a broom or
burlap belt across the surface to give a coarse transverse scored
texture.
2. Provide a broom or belt finish for exterior paving and walks.
E. Rubbed Finish: The surface shall be wetted and rubbed with
Carborundum until a cement film is formed. This shall be rubbed into the
Fort Worth Water Department 03300- 14 Cast-in-Place Concrete
surface until all voids are filled and the entire surface has a uniform
appearance. The surface shall turn white and set hard. It must not dust
off. All interior and exterior exposed(to water or au) structural concrete
surfaces not receiving a painted texture coating shall be rubbed. Rubbing
should begin immediately after form removal. The use of cement or grout
to form a paste during rubbing shall not be allowed.
3.11 TESTING AND CONTROL
A. Field Test Cylinders: Obtain samples from every 25 cubic yards for each
mix design or any structure placed in any one day. Obtain at least one
cylinder for each major element in each structure. Conduct compressive

Freshly Mixed Concrete.
2. Mold three specimens under standard moisture and temperature
conditions as specified in ASTM C31,Method of Making and
Curing Concrete Test Specimens in the Field.
3. Test one specimen at 7 days and one at 28 days according to
ASTM C39,Test Methods for Compressive Strength of Cylindrical
Concrete Specimens. If the 28 day tests indicate a compressive
strength below the strength required,the third specimen shall be
tested at 56 days. If all tests indicate a compressive strength below
the strength required,the Engineer may, at his discretion,direct the
Contractor to perform testing of in-place concrete at no additional
cost to the Owner.
4. The Contractor may, at his expense, take additional specimen as
may be required to demonstrate early attainment of concrete
strength.
B. Testing shall determine the following when the test cylinders are taken:
1. Slump
2. Concrete Temperature—temperature should be checked more
frequently if adverse weather is expected or if required by the
` Engineer.
3.12 TESTING OF DEFICIENT IN-PLACE CONCRETE
Fort Worth Water Department 03300- 15 Cast-in-Place Concrete
A. The strength of the concrete shall be considered potentially deficient if the
averages of two consecutive sets of strength tests results fail to equal or .
exceed the specified strength or if any individual test results falls below
the specified strength. Additional testing may also be required as directed
by the Engineer.
B. The Contractor shall bear all costs incurred in providing the additional
testing and/or analysis required as a result of deficient in-place concrete. f
All costs as a result of delays due to additional testing and/or analysis will
be at the Contractor's expense, with no extension of contract length,
regardless of the outcome of the testing.
3.13 ACCEPTANCE OF CONCRETE WORK
A. Formed surfaces resulting in configuration of members smaller than
permitted under the tolerances specified herein stall be considered
deficient and shall be repaired or replaced as directed by the Engineer.
B. Concrete members cast in the wrong location shall be rejected if the
strength, appearance, or function of the structure is, in the Engineer's
opinion, adversely affected or if misplaced members interfere with other
construction. If rejected, remove members cast in the wrong location and
repair or replace at the Contractor's expense as directed by the Engineer.
3.14 WATERTIGHTNESS OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES
A. All concrete structures designed to contain or convey fluid shall be tested
for watertightness by the Contractor by filling with water to levels to the
top of the structure. These tests will be repeated until watertightness is
assured. Unless approved otherwise by the Engineer,perform tests prior
to backfilling below-grade structures.
B. The Contractor shall provide the water and all equipment required to fill
and drain the structure for watertightness testing. The source of water and
the means of filling and draining shall be coordinated with the Owner and
submitted to the Engineer for approval.
C. The Contractor is responsible for all costs associated with the
watertightness requirements specified herein and the repairs required as a
result of water leakage.
D. The rate of filling shall be limited to minimize shock effects to the new
concrete construction.
Fort Worth Water Department 03300- 16 Cast-in-Place Concrete
` E. Whenever mechanical piping or any other item terminates in or extends
through a concrete hydraulic structure, the Contractor shall install the
embedded item in the concrete such that the watertightness of the structure
is not impaired.
F. Watertightness testing shall be performed in accordance with ASCI 3501R
and as follows:
1. Watertightness testing should occur before backfilling operations,
unless approved otherwise by the Engineer.
2. Allowable leakage for unlined structures with a maximum side
water depth of 25 feet shall be less than 0.1%of water volume over
24 hours.
3. Allowable leakage for structures with lined floors and a maximum
side water depth of 30 feet shall be less than 0.06% of water
volume over 24 hours.
4. Allowable leakage for fully lined structures shall be less than
0.025% of water volume over 24 hours.
G. Sources of water volume changes other than leakage include:
1. Mechanical piping and associated equipment. A significant
volume of water loss can be attributed to mechanical piping and
associated equipment. All piping should be temporarily sealed or
blocked to eliminate water leakage or infiltration.
2. Evaporation and precipitation
3. Adsorption. To account for the adsorption process, the structure
should be wetted for at least three days prior to testing.
4. Temperature. Measurements should be taken at 24 hour intervals
so that the temperature conditions are approximately similar when
measurements are taken, thus minimizing the effects of water
volume changes caused by temperature.
H. Measurement: A minimum of two measurements should be taken, 180
degrees apart, at the beginning of the test, at 24 hour intervals, and at the
end of the test.

THE CHEMICALS USED IN SOLVENT WELDING OF CONDUIT ARE INTENDED TO PENETRATE THE SURFACE OF BOTH
PIPE AND FITTING,WHICH AFTER CURING RESULT IN A COMPLETE FUSION AT THE JOINT. THE OVER—USE OR
UNDER—USE OF CHEMICALS RESULTS IN LEAKY JOINTS OR WEAKENED PIPE.
o
a
Y A. CLEAN CONDUIT BY WIPING OFF ALL DUST,DIRT AND MOISTURE FROM SURFACES TO BE CEMENTED EITHER BY
MECHANICAL OR CHEMICAL CLEANING.
0
Y 1. MECHANICAL CLEANING — FINE ABRASIVE PAPER OR CLOTH (180 GRIT OR FINER)OR CLEAN OIL—FREE STEEL
WOOL.
S
2. CHEMICAL CLEANING — CLEANER RECOMMENDED BY MANUFACTURER OR EQUIVALENT (METHYL ETHYL
KETONE — MEKI•
B. WITH A NON—SYNTHETIC BRISTLE BRUSH APPLY AN EVEN COATING OF CEMENT TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE PIPE
AND INSIDE THE SOCKET. MAKE SURE THAT THE AMOUNT OF CEMENT APPLIED TO THE CONDUIT IS EQUAL TO
THE DEPTH OF THE SOCKET. BEFORE ASSEMBLY,IF SOME EVAPORATION OF SOLVENT FROM THE SURFACES TO
BE JOINED IS NOTED,REAPPLY CEMENT,THEN ASSEMBLE.
IF CEMENT BEING USED HAS AN APPRECIABLE CHANGE IN VISCOSITY OR SHOWS SIGNS OF JEWNG,IT SHALL BE
DISCARDED. IN NO CASE SHALL THINNER BE USED IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESTORE JELLED PVC CEMENT. THINNER
MAY ONLY BE USED TO CHANGE THE VISCOSITY OF A MEDIUM BODIED CEMENT TO THAT OF A REGULAR
BODIED CEMENT FOR APPLICATION ON PVC PIPE SMALLER THAN 2 V2 INCH DIAMETER. A MEDIUM BODIED
CEMENT SHALL BE USED ON 2 V2 TO 6 INCH PVC PIPE.
IN COLD WEATHER,USE A PRIMER TO SOFTEN THE JOINING SURFACES BEFORE APPLYING CEMENT. ALLOW
LONGER CURE TIME. (SEE ITEM E).
C. JOIN PIPE WITHIN 20 SECONDS OF APPLYING CEMENT.TURN THE PIPE V4 TURN TO ENSURE EVEN DISTRIBUTION
OF CEMENT ON SURFACES TO BE BONDED. MAKE SURE THAT PIPE IS INSERTED TO THE FULL DEPTH OF THE
SOCKET.
D. CLEAN OFF ANY BEAD OR EXCESS CEMENT THAT APPEARS AT THE OUTER SHOULDER OF THE FITTING. EXCESS
CEMENT ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN CONTACT WITH THE MATERIAL IS APT TO CAUSE WEAKENING OF THE
MATERIAL,AND SUBSEQUENT FAILURE.
E. NEWLY ASSEMBLED JOINTS SHOULD BE HANDLED CAREFULLY UNTIL THE CEMENT HAS CURED TO THE
RECOMMENDED SET PERIOD, SET PERIODS ARE RELATED TO THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AS FOLLOWS:
30 MIN.MINIMUM AT 600 TO 10&F

City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 11/14/2006
DATE: Tuesday, November 14, 2006
LOG NAME: 60ALTA MESA PS REFERENCE NO.: **C-21845
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution Contract with Crescent Constructors, Inc., for the Alta Mesa Pump Station
Improvements
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Crescent
Constructors Inc. in the amount of$380,390.00 for the Alta Mesa Pump Station Improvements.
DISCUSSION:
The existing Alta Mesa Pump Station was constructed in 1976 and expanded in 1986 to provide additional
pumping capability to the Southside of Fort Worth. In order to meet the increasing peak day demands in
the Southside of Fort Worth along with wholesale customers to the south, the Water Master Plan Engineer
recommends that a fifth pump be added to the Alta Mesa Pump Station prior to the summer of 2007.
The scope of work within this pump station expansion contract includes adding a 10 MGD pump and
motor, installation of new piping and valves, and electrical improvements to increase the pump station
capacity, reliability and flexibility.
The project was advertised for Bid in the Commercial Recorder on June 22 and June 29, 2006. On July
20, 2006, the following bids were received:
BIDDER TOTAL BID CONTRACT TIME
Red River Construction $348,040.00
Crescent Constructors $380,390.00 240 Calendar Days
Holloman Construction $649,620.40
The low bidder, Red River Construction, was deemed non-responsive because it did not comply with the
requirements of the M/WBE ordinance. Therefore, the second low bidder, Crescent Constructors is
recommended for award.
In addition to the contract cost, $25,000 is provided for project contingencies and $22,000 is provided for
staff time to inspect and manage the project.
Crescent Contructors, Inc. is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 18 percent
M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 10 percent.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 6.
