VENDOR COMPUANCE TO STATE LAW
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to the
award of contracts to nonresident bidders. This law provides that, in order to be
awarded a contract as low bidder, nonresident 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 amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a
Texas resident bidder would be required too underbid a nonresident bidder in order
to obtain a comparable contract in the State in which the nonresident's principal
place of business is located. The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out
by all out-of-state or nonresident bidders in order for your bid to meet specifications.
The failure of out-of-state or nonresident contractors to do so will automatically
disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in Section B.
A. Nonresident 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.
Nonresident vendors in {give State), our principal
place of business, are not required to underbid resident bidders.
8. Our principal place of business or corporate offices are in the State of Texas. ~

VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to the
award of contracts to nonresident bidders. This law provides that, in order to be
awarded a contract . as low bidder, nonresident 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 amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a
Texas resident bidder would be required too underbid a nonresident bidder in order
to obtain a comparable contract in the State in which the nonresident's principal
place of business is located. The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out
by all out-of-state or nonresident bidders in order for your bid to meet specifications.
The failure of out-of-state or nonresident contractors to do so will automatically
disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in Section B.
A . Nonresident 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.
Nonresident vendors in (give State), our 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. ~

will furnish forms for the Bidder's "Experience Record,"
"Equipment Schedule," and "Financial Statement," all of which
must be properly executed and filed with the Director of the
City Water Department one week ·prior to the hour for opening of
bids.

The financial statement required shall have been prepared by an
independent certified public accountant or an independent public
accountant holding a valid permit issued by an appropriate state
licensing agency, and shall have been so prepared as to reflect (.·.··
the current financial status. This statement must be current

date falls within the time a new statement is being prepared,
the previous statement shall be updated by proper verification.
Liquid assets in the amount of ten (10%) percent of the
~stimated project cost will be required.
For an experience record to be considered to be acceptable for a
given project, it must reflect the e x perience of the firm
seeking qualification in work of both the same nature and
magnitude as that of the project for which bids are to be
received. Such experience must h~ve been on projects completed
not more than five (5) years prior to the date on which bids are
to be received. The Director of the Water Department shall be
sole judge as to the acceptability of experience for
qualification to bid on any Fort Worth Water Department project.

materials to be furnished as may be listed in the proposal forms

approximate only and will be used for the purpose of comparing
bids on a uniform basis. Payment will be made to the Contractor
for only the actual quantities of work performed or materials
furnished in strict accordance with the Contract Documents and
Plans. The quantities of work to be performed and materials to
be furnished may be increased or decreased as hereinafter
provided, without in any way invalidating the unit prices bid or
any other requirements of the Contract Documents.

shall become part of the Contract Documents just as though such
addenda were actually written into the original Contract
Documents.
Prior to the filing of proposal, bidders are required to read
and become familiar with the Contract Documents, to visit the
site of the project and examine carefully all local conditions,
to inform themse·lves by their own independent research and
investigations, tests, boring, and by such other means as may be
necessary, to gain a complete knowledge of the conditions which
will be encountered during the construction of the project.
They must judge for themselves the difficulties of the work and
all attending circumstances affecting the cost of doing the work
or the time required for its completion, and obtain all
information required to make an intelligent proposal. No
information given by the Owner or any representative of the
Owner other than that contained in the Contract Documents and
officially promulgated addenda thereto, shall be binding upon
the Owner. Bidders shall rely exclusively and solely upon their
own estimates, investigation, research, tests, explorations, and
other data which are necessary for full and complete information
upon which the proposal is to be based. It is mutually agreed
that the submission of a proposal in prirna-facie evidence that
the bidder has made the investigations, examinations and tests
herein required. Claims for additional compensation due to
variations between conditions actually encountered in

totals have been determined for comparison of bids, the Owner
may, at its discretion, return the proposal security which
accompanied the proposals which, in its judgment, would not be

to execute the required bond or bonds or to sign the required
contract within ten (10) days after the contract is awarded

proposal, and the Owner may annul the Award. By reason of the
uncertainty of the market prices of material and labor, and it
being impracticable and difficult to accurately determine the
amount of damages occurring to the Owner by reason of said
awardee's failure to execute said bonds and contract within ten
(10) days, the proposal security accompanying the proposal shall
be the agreed amount of damages which Owner will suffer by
reason of such failure on the part of the Awardee and shall

(
existing underground utilities. The location of many gas mains, (
water mains, conduits, sewer lines and service lines for all · ..
utilities, etc., is unknown to the Owner, and the Owner assumes
no responsibility for failure to show any or all such structures
and utilities on the Plans or to show them in their exact
location. It is mutually agreed that such failure will not be
considered sufficient basis for claims for additional
compensation for Extra Work or for increasing the pay quantities
in any manner whatsoever, unless an obstruction encountered is
such as to necessitate changes in the lines and grades of
considerable magnitude or requires the building of special
works, provision for which is not made in the Contract
Documents, in which case the provision in these Contract
Documents for Extra Work shall apply.
It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to verify locations
of adjacent and/or conflicting utilities sufficiently in advance

immediate superintendence, work of a value of not less than
fifty ( 50%) percent of the value embraced in the contract. If
the Contractor sublets any part of the work to be done under
these Contract Documents, he will not under any circumstances be
relieved of the responsibility and obligation assumed under
these Contract Documents. All transactions of the Engineer will
be with the Contractor. Subcontractors will be considered only
in the capacity of employees or workmen of the Contractor and

Engineer in five or more copies, if requested by the Engineer, a
progress schedule preferably in chart or diagram form, or a

not relieve the Contractor from the full responsibility of the
complete performance of the Contract.

C7-7. 8 "Extension of Time of Completion" of this Agreement, and
a progress schedule shall not constitute a change in the
contract time.
C7-7. 4 LIMITATIONS OF OPERATIONS: The working operations shall
at all times be conducted by the Contractor to create a minimum
amount of inconvenience to the public. At any time when, in the
judgment of the Engineer, the Contractor has obstructed or

equipment necessary to properly carry out the performance of the
assigned puties.

satisfactory, safe and efficient working condition. Equipment
on any portion of the work shall be such that no injury to the
work, workmen or adjacent property will result from its use.
C7-7. 6 WORK SCHEDULE: Elapsed working days shall be computed
starting with the first day of work completed as defined in Cl-
1. 23 "WORKING DAY" or the date stipulated in the "WORK ORDER"
for beginning work, whichever comes first.

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 Thursday preceding.

Contractor for any work performed on such a specific Saturday,
Sunday or Legal Holiday ..
Calendar Days shall be defined in Cl-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 Engin.eer within seven days from and after the time alleged
cause of delay shall have occurred. Should an extension of the
time of completion be requested such request will be forwarded
to the City Council for approval.
In adj us ting the contract time for completion of work,
consideration will be given to unforeseeable causes beyond the
control of and without the fault or negligence of the
Contractor, including but 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 bona fide attempt to secure delivery
on schedule. This shall include efforts to obtain the supplies
and materials from alternate sources in case the first source
cannot make delivery.
C7-7 (4)
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 informa t ion 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 Engineers to stop work, or by the
performance of extra work, or by the failure of the City to
provide material 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 his 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

The parties hereto understand and agree that any harm to the
City caused by the Contractor's delay in completing the work
hereunder in the time specified by the Contract Documents would
be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, and that
the "Amount of Liquidated Damages Per Day", as set out above, is
a reasonable forecast of just compensation due the City for harm
caused by any delay.
C7-7.ll SUSPENSION BY COURT ORDER: The Contractor shall suspend
operations on such part or parts of the work ordered by . any

suspend the work operation wholly or in part for such period or
periods of time as he may deem necessary due to unsuitable
weather conditions or any other unfavorable conditions which in
the opinion of the Owner or Engineer cause further prosecution
of the work to be unsatisfactory or detrimental to the interest
of the project. During temporary suspension of work covered by
this contract, for any reason, the Owner will make no extra
payment for stand-by time of construction equipment and/or
construction crews .
C7-7 (6)
If it should become necessary to suspend work for an indefinite
period, the Contractor shall store all materials in such manner
that they will not obstruct or impede the public unnecessarily
nor become damaged in any way, and he shall take every
precaution to prevent damage or deterioration of the work
performed; he shall provide suitable drainage about the work,
and erect temporary structures where necessary.
Should the Contractor not be able to complete a portion of the
project due to causes beyond the control of and without the
fault or negligence of, the Contractor as set forth in Paragraph
C7-7. 8 EXTENSION OF THE TIME OF COMPLETION, and should it be
determined by mutual consent of the Contractor and the Engineer
that a solution to allow construction to proceed is not
available within a reasonable period of time, then the
Contractor may be reimbursed for the cost of moving his
equipment off the job and returning the necessary equipment to
the job when it is determined by the Engineer that construction
may be resumed. Such reimbursement shall be based on actual
cost to the Contractor of moving the equipment and no profit
will be allowed.
(
No reimbursement shall be allowed if the equipment is moved to (
another construction project for the City of Fort Worth. ~

President of the United States, or other lawful authority, it
becomes impossible for the Contractor to obtain all of the
necessary labor, materials, and equipment for the prosecution of
the work with reasonable continuity for a period of two months,
the Contractor shall, within seven days, notify the City in
writing giving a detailed statement of the efforts which have
been made and listing all necessary items of labor, materials,
and equipment not obtainable. If, after investigation, the
Owner finds that such conditions exist and that the inability of
the Contractor to proceed is not attributable in whole or in
part to the fault or neglect of the Contractor, then if the
Owner cannot after reasonable effort assist the Contractor in
procuring and making available the necessary labor, materials
and equipment within thirty days, the Contractor may request the
C7-7 (7)
(
',,
Owner to terminate the contract and the Owner may comply with
the request, and the termination shall be conditioned and based
upon a final settlement mutually acceptable to both the Owner
and the Contractor and final payment shall be made in accordance
with the terms of the agreed settlement, which shall include,
but not be limited to, the payment for all work executed but no
anticipated profits on work which has not been performed.

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
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 Management
Practices are construction management techniques that, if properly utilized, 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%.

operation of an existing City water line system with the City's representative. The Contractor may
obtain a hydrant water meter from the Water Department for use during the life of named project.
In the event the Contractor requires that a water valve on an existing live system be turned off and
on to accommodate the construction of the project, the Contractor must coordinate this activity
through the appropriate City representative. The Contractor shall not operate water line valves of
existing water system. Failure to comply will render the Contractor in violation of Texas Penal
Code Title 7, Chapter 28.03 (Criminal Mischief) and the Contractor will be prosecuted to the full

D-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 le~s 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. In the event the contractor receives such a letter, the contractor shall
provide to the City an updated schedule showing how the project will be completed
within the contract time.

a second time prior to the completion of the contract, the bonding company will be
notified appropriately.
D-72 AIR POLLUTION WATCH DAYS
The Contractor shall be required to observe the following guidelines relating to working on City
construction sites on days designated as "AIR POLLUTION WATCH DAYS". Typically, the
OZONE SEASON, within the Metroplex area, runs from May 1, through OCTOBER 31, with 6:00
a.m. -10:00 a.m. being critical BECAUSE EMISSIONS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD HAVE
ENOUGH TIME TO BAKE IN THE HOT ATMOSPHERE THAT LEADS TO EARLY AFTERNOON

shall be per manufacturer's standards to provide the wall thickness specified . All
felt shall be impregnated under vacuum .
The wet-out fiber felt tube shall be installed through an existing manhole or other
approved access by means of an inversion process and the application of a
hydrostatic head sufficient to fully extend it to the next designated manhole. The
impregnated tube shall generally be inserted into the vertical inversion standpipe
with the impermeable plastic membrane side out. At the lower end of the inversion
standpipe, the felt tube shall be turned inside out and attached to the standpipe so
that a leak-proof seal is created. The inversion head will be adjusted to be of
sufficient height to cause the impregnated tube to invert from manhole to manhole
and hold the tube tight to the pipe wall and produce dimples at the side
connections. A lubricant, if used, shall be as approved by manufacturer's
standards. Manufacturer's standards shall be closely followed during the elevated
temperature curing so as not to over-stress the felt fiber and cause damage or
failure prior to cure . In certain cases, the Contractor may elect to use a top
Inversion.
Curing: After inversion is complete, the Contractor shall supply a suitable heat
source and water or steam recirculation equipment. The equipment shall be
capable of delivering hot water or steam throughout the section by means of a pre-
strung hose, wh ich has been perforated per manufacturer's recommendations, to
uniformly raise the water temperature above the temperature required to effect a
cure of the resin . This temperature shall be determined by the resin/catalyst
system employed and shall be per manufacturer's standards .
4. The heat source shall be fitted with suitable monitors to gauge the temperature of
the incoming and outgoing water or steam supply. Another such gauge shall be
placed at the remote manholes to determine the temperatures during cure. Initial
cure shall be deemed to be completed when inspection of the exposed portions of
the cured-in-place pipe appear to be hard and sound . The cure period shall be of
a duration recommended by the resin manufacturer, as modified for the inversion
process, during which time the recirculation of the water and/or steam and cycling
of the heat exchanger to maintain the temperature continues.
5. Cool-down: The Contractor shall cool the hardened cured-in-place pipe to a
temperature below 100 F before relieving the static head in the inversion
standpipe. Cool-down may be accomplished by introducing cool water into the
inversion standpipe to replace water or steam being drained from a small hole
made in the downstream end. Care shall be taken in the release of the static head
so that a vacuum will not be developed that could damage the newly installed
cured-in-place pipe .
F. SERVICE CONNECTIONS: After the pipe has been installed, the Contractor shall
reconnect the active service connections. This shall generally be done without
excavation, and, in the case of non-man entry pipes, from the interior of the pipeline by
means of a television camera and a cutting device that re-established them to not Jess
than 90 percent capacity. Existing services shall be reinstated within 18 hours of
installation. Should internal reinstatement not be possible, the services must be
reconnected externally by excavation immediately. Service saddles acceptable to the
Engineer shall be utilized . Backfill at service connections shall be cement stabilized

intersection and shall be in accordance with these specifications . Each reconnection shall
be paid for separately. Six inch sewer lines shall have service connections completed by
external means. Contractor may re-connect the 6" sewer line connections by internal
means in special cases with the approval of the Engineer.
G. ACCEPTANCE: The finished cure-in-place pipe shall be continuous over the entire length
of an inversion run between manholes and be smooth and free from substantial wrinkles,
as well as defects, and improper house connections. Should any of these defects occur,
the line shall be excavated, repaired and/or replaced and complete restoration made to
the satisfaction of the City at no additional cost.
The watertightness of the pipe shall be tested for leaks under a positive head during cure
with allowances being made for end leakage and temperature effects.
H. CLEAN-UP: Upon acceptance of the installation work and testing, the Contractor shall
restore the project area affected by his operations to original or better conditions.
I. PATENTS: The Contractor shall warrant and save harmless the City and all of its officers,
agents, and employees against all claims for patent infringement and any loss thereof.
J. SPECIAL NOTES: The Contractor shall be liable for damages to the homes or basements
from backups which may result during the installation of new pipe.

In all excavations where the liner is not within the existing sanitary sewer line
(carrier pipe} cement stabilized sand bedding shall be installed. Visual inspection
is required for approval of bedding before backfill is completed.
Testing of the Liner: Testing will be required after the liner has been installed in
the existing sanitary sewer main. The first is a low pressure air test of the liner
before it has been sealed in place at the manholes and before any service
reconnections have been made to the liner. The purpose of this test is to check
the integrity of the joints that have been made and to verify that the liner has not
been damaged by inserting it into the sanitary sewer.
a. Low Pressure Air Test Procedure: After a manhole-to-manhole section of
sanitary sewer main has been sliplined and prior to any service lines being
connected to the new liner. the liner shall be plugged at each manhole with
pneumatic plugs. The design of the plugs shall be such that they will hold
against the test pressure without requiring external blocking or bracing.
One of the plugs shall have three (3) air hose connections; one for the
inflation of the plug, one for reading the air-pressure in the sealed line. and
one for introducing air into the sealed line.
Low pressure air shall then be introduced into the sealed line until the
internal air pressure reaches 4.0 psig greater than the average back
pressure resulting from any groundwater that may be over the pipe. At
least two (2) minutes shall elapse to allow the pressure to stabilize.

such a manner as to produce a reasonably well graded mass of rock with the minimum
practicable percentage of voids and shall be constructed within the specified tolerance
to the lines and grades shown on the drawings. Then intent of these specifications is
to require placement of riprap to the thickness shown and to allow isolated stones to
extend as much as six inches above grade. Riprap shall be placed to its full course
thickness at one operation and in such a manner as to avoid displacing the fabric. The
larger stones shall be well distributed and the entire mass of stones in their final
position shall conform to the gradation specified hereinbefore. The finished riprap
shall be free from objectionable pockets of small stones and clusters of larger stones.
The desired distribution of the various sizes of stones throughout the mass shall be
obtained by selective loading of the material at the quarry or other source, by
controlled dumping of successive loads during final placing, or by other methods of
placement which will produce the specified results. Rearranging of individual stones,
by mechanical equipment or by hand will be required to the extent necessary to obtain
a reasonably well graded distribution of stone specified above. The Contractor shall
maintain the riprap protection until accepted . Any materiaf displaced by any cause
shall be replaced at his erosion to the lines and grades shown on the Drawings.
4. GROUT PLACEMENT: Grout shall be composed of cement, water and air-entraining
admixture and sand mixed in the proportions of 1 part of Portland cement to 3 parts of
sand, sufficient water to produce a workable mixture, and that amount of admixture
which will entrain sufficient air to produce durable grout, as determined by the
ENGINEER. Sand for grouting shall conform to the requirements of paragraph: FINE
AGGREGATE. The grout shall be mixed in a concrete mixer in the manner specified for
concrete except that the time of mixing shall be increased to that necessary to produce a
mixture having a consistency such as to permit gravity flow into the interstices of the
riprap with the help of limited spading and brooming. The grout shall be used in the work
within a period of one (1) hour after mixing. Retempering of ground will not be permitted.
Riprap shall not be grouted when the ambient temperature is below 35 degree F. or
above 95 degrees F. unless approved by the ENGINEER in writing; nor when the grout,
without special protection, is likely to be subjected to freezing temperatures before final
set has occurred. Prior to grouting, all surfaces of riprap shall be wetted. The riprap
shall be grouted in successive longitudinal strips, approximately 10 feet in width,
commencing at the lowest strip and working up the slope. Grout shall be brought to the
11102104 AS C-94

place of final deposit by approved means, and in no case will grout be permitted to flow
on the riprapped surface a distance in excess of 10 feet. Immediately after dumping the
batch of grout, it shall be distributed over the surface of the strip by the use of brooms
and the grout worked into place between stones with suitable spades, trowels, or
vibrating equipment. As a final operation, the grout shall be removed from the top
surfaces of the upper stones and from pockets and depressions in the surface of the
stone protection. After completion of any strip as specified, no workman or any load
shall be permitted on the grouted surface for a period of at least 24 hours. The grouted
surface shall be protected from rain, flowing water, and mechanical injury. The surface
of all grouted riprap shall be cured by keeping the surface continuously wet for a period

INTRODUCTION
llerracan
The project site Is located in Fort Worth ; Texas. This report describes the subsurface
conditions encountered in the borings, and provides pavement recommendations to meet the
City of Fort Worth design standards. Our scope of services included drilling and sampling eight
borings, laboratory testing, and engineering analyses. ·
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The planned roadway consists of a section of Edwards Ranch Road south of Southwest
Parkway 121 and a section of Clearfork Main Street to the intersection before the bridg~ at the
Trinity River in Fort Worth, Texas.
The section of Edwards Ranch Road will be about 1,600 feet long . Cuts and fills for this section
are anticipated to be up to 7 and 2 feet, respectively. The Clearfork section will be about 2,300
feet. Cuts and fills for this section are anticipated to be up to 3 feet. No retaining walls are
planned for the roadway. These roadways will be considered Collector streets by the City of
Fort Worth, and will be designed by Fort Worth Standards .
SITE EXPLORATION PROCEDURES
Field Exploration
Eight borings were drilled on September 26, 2008 at the locations shown on the Boring
Location Diagram, Figure 1, in the Appendix. The test locations were established in the field by
a representative of Terracon using measurements from available reference features and
estimating right angles . The boring locations should be considered accurate only to the degree
implied by the methods employed to determine them.
Truck-mounted drilling equif?ment was used to advance the borings. Samples of the soils
encountered In the borings were obtained using thin-walled tube and split-barrel sampling
procedures. In the thin-walled tube sampling procedure , a thin-walled, seamless steel tube with
a sharp cutting edge is pushed hydraulically into the soil to obtain a relatively undisturbed
sample.

Verraccn
In the split-barrel sampling procedure, a standard 2-inch O.D. split barrel sampling spoon is
driven into the ground with a 140-pound hammer falling a distance of 30 inches. The number of
blows required to advance the sampling spoon the last 12 Inches of a normal 18-inch
penetration is recorded as the standard penetration resistance value. These values are
indicated on the boring logs at the depths of occurrence.
The samples were extruded in the field, logged, sealed, and packaged to preserve their
moisture content and reduce disturbance during transportation to the laboratory. The results of
the field exploration program are presented on the Logs of Boring. Figures 2 through 9, in the
Appendix. General notes for log terms and symbols are presented on Figure 10.
Laboratory Testing
The boring logs and samples were reviewed by a geotechnical engineer who selected soil
samples for testing. Tests were performed by technicians working under the direction of the
engineer. A brief description of the tests performed follows.
Liquid limit, plastic limit, percent passing no. 200 sieve tests and moisture content
measurements were performed to aid in classifying the soils In accordance with the Unified Soil
Classification System (USCS). Toe uses is summarized on Figure 11. Hand penetrometer
tests were performed on samples of the cohesive soils to evaluate the consistency of these
materials. Absorption swell tests were performed on selected samples to evaluate volume
change potential at in situ moisture contents. Results of the swell tests are presented in Table
1 below. The results of the other tests are presented on the Logs of Boring.
Lime/pH series tests were performed on samples of the soils to determine the appropriate
amount of lime treatment required for the subgrade soils. The results of lime/pH series tests
are included on Figure 12. Standard Proctor moisture/density relationships were determined on
bulk soil samples. These relationships were used to prepare California Bearing Ratio (CBR)
Tests to evaluate the subgrade support of the soils. The results of the tests are presented on
Figures 13 through 15.
Soluble sulfate tests were performed on selected soil samples. The results of the soluble
sulfate tests are presented in Table 2.

The conditions encountered at the boring locations are depicted on the Logs of Boring.
Descriptions of each layer with its approximate depth and thickness are shown on the boring
logs. The layer depths are referenced from the surface present at the time of drilling. Layer
boundaries on the boring logs represent the approximate location of changes in soil types; in-
situ, the transition between materials may be gradual. A brief discussion of the stratigrap~y
indicated by the exploration program is presented below.
Fill materials consisting of brown, tan, and gray sandy lean clays and clayey sands were
encountered at the surface in Borings 8-2 through 8-8. These fill materials contained limestone
fragments and occasional calcareous nodules and sand seams. The fill extended to depths of
about 3 to 7~ feet in· the borings. Samples of these fill materials had Liquid Limits (LL's)

between 30 and 40 percent, with Plasticity Indices (Pl 's} between 14 and 21. These fi ll s were
generally hard in consistency .
Beneath the fill materials in Borings B-2 through B-8 and at the surface in Boring 8-1 , dark
gray, gray, tan , and brown clays, sandy clays, and clayey sands ·were present. Calcareous
nodules and deposits were often found in the samples. They extended to termination depths of
1 O to 15 feet in the borings. They had Liquid Limits (LL's) of 25 to 54 percent and Plasticity
Indices of 14 to 28, and classified as CL to CH and SC by the Unified Soils Classification
System (USCS). The clays were generally hard in consistency, and the sands were generally
medium dense to very dense. ·
Groundwater Conditions
The borings were advanced in the dry using auger drilling techniques which permits observation
of groundwater during drilling. Groundwater seepage was encountered in Boring B-2 during
drilling at a depth of 13 feet. No groundwater was present upon the completion of drilling the
borings.
These observations represent only current groundwater conditions, and may not be indicative of
other times or at other locations. Groundwater conditions can change with varying seasonal
conditions , landscape irrigation, and other factors .
ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
General Site Grading
Existing grades along the alignment are relatively level. For the section of Edwards Ranch
Road, cuts and fill are anticipated to be up to 7 feet and 2 feet, respectively. Anticipated cut and
fill depths in the Clearfork Main Street section are up to 3 feet.
The on-site soils free of rock greater than 4 inches in maximum dimension are suitable for use
in general site grading. Imported material should be a clean soil with a Liquid Limit preferably
less than 60 percent and no rock greater than 4 inches in maximum dimension ..
Prior to placing any fill, the areas to receive fill will need to be stripped and grubbed. Any soft or
pumping areas should be excavated to firm ground and properly backfilled . The subgrade
should be scarified to a minimum depth of 6 inches and uniformly compacted to a min imum of
95 percent of ASTM D698 at a minimum of"+2 percent above the optimum moisture content as
determined by that test. The fill materials should then be spread in loose, relatively horizontal
lifts, less than 9 inches thick, and uniformly compacted to the same criteria . If filling is

suspended and the subgrade becomes desiccated or rutted, it should be reworked prior to
placement of a subsequent lift.
Lime/Sulfate Induced Heave
The laboratory tests indicate that soluble sulfate content in the soils was generally on the order
of 550 ppm or less. When the sulfate concentrations are less than 3,000 ppm, the subgrade
. soils are considered to be suitable for lime stabilization in the conventional manner using a
singte lime application . Imported fill material should be .tested for soluble sulfate to evaluate
the suitability of soils for lime stabilization·. ·
Pavement Subgrade Preparation
Subgrade ·materials encountered consisted of sandy clay soils. Lime stabilization is
recommended beneath the planned rigid (concrete) pavements . We recommend that a
minimum of 7 percent lime, (TxDOT Item 260), by dry weight, ·be usect ·to treat the subgrade
soils at thls site. The lime should be thoroughly mixed and blended with the top 6 inches of the
subgrade (TxDOT, Item 260).
The lime stabilized subgrade should be uniformly compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of
ASTM D698 at -1 to +3 percent of optimum . moisture content determined by that test.
Pavement subgrades should be protected from traffic or ponding water. They should be moist
cured until the pavement Is placed.
Site grading is generally accomplished early In the construction phase. However as
construction proceeds, the subgrade may be disturbed due to utility excavations, construction
traffic, desiccation, or rainfall . As a result, the pavement subgrade may not be suitable for
pavement construction and corrective action will be required. The subgrade should be carefully
·evaluated at the time of pavement construction for signs of disturbance or excessive rutting. If
disturbance has occurred , pavement subgrade areas should be reworked, moisture
conditioned, and properly compacted to the recommendations in this report immediately prior to
paving .
Pavement Sections
Pavement design for this project is based on procedures outlined by AASHTO for concrete
paved roads, and the city of Fort Worth Pavement Design Standards Manual. The design
parameters used in the analysis are presented in Table 3.

The concrete should have a minimum of 5 ±1.5 percent entrained air, and as a minimum, the
section should be reinforced with No. 3 bars on 18 inch centers in both directions.
The pavements presented in Tables 4 and 5 represent a minimum design thickness. Periodic
maintenance· must be anticipated and planned. Higher traffic volumes may require thicker
pavement sections.
GENERAL COMMENTS
Terracon should be retained to review the final design plans and specifications so comments
can be made regarding interpretation and Implementation of ou r geotechnical
recommendations in the design and specifications. Terracon also should be retained to provide
testing and observation during excavation, grading, foundation and construction phases of the
project.
The analysis and recommendations presented in this report are based upon the data obtained
from the borings performed at the indicated locations and from other information discussed in
this report . This report does not reflect variations that may occur between borings, across the
site, or due to the modifying effects of weather. The nature and extent of such variations may
not become evident until during or after construction. If variations appear, we shou_ld be
immediately notified so that further evaluation and supplemental recommendations can be
provided.
The scope of services for this project does not include either specifically or by implication any
envlronmental assessment of the site or identification of contaminated or hazardous materials
or conditions. If the owner is concerned about the potential for such contamination, other
studies should be undertaken.

times and oUler locations across the site could vary . In pervious soils, the indicated levels may reflect the location of groundwater. In
low permeability soils , the accurate determfnation of groundwater levels may not be possible with only short-term observations.
DESCRIPTIVE SOIL CLASSIFICATION: Soil classlf!catlon Is based on the Unified Classification System. Coarse Grained Soils have
more than 50% of their clry weight retained on a #200 sieve; 1heir principal descriptors are: boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand. Fine
Grained Soils have less than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are principally described as clays If they are
plastic, and silts if they are slightly plastic or non-plastic. Major constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents may be
added according to the relative proportions based on grain size . In addition to gradation, C98rse-gralned soils are defined on the basis
of their in-place relative density and fine-grained soils on the basis of their consistency.
