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 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.

DISCUSSION: Texas Government Code Chapter 2258 requires that a public body awarding a contract for public works shall determine the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the contract, and shall specify In the bid documents and in the contract the prevailing wage rates in that locality. Each year The Quoin Chapter of the Associated General Contractors, in conjunction with the Association of Builders and Contractors (ABC) and the American Sub -Contractors Association (ASA), conducts a wage rate survey for North Texas construction. The attached 2008 Prevailing Wage Rate data was compiled from that survey.

General - To ensure compliance with the EPA's Good Faith Effort Policy and Affirmative Steps Outreach Program, the TWDB recommends that all applicants review their own procurement policies and procedures to see if/how SMWBE's are addressed. For applicants that may have outdated or unwritten procurement procedures, the six affirmative steps outlined below, provide an excellent starting point for updating and/or developing written procurement procedures to address SMWBE's. B. Six Affirmative Steps (1) Include qualified SMWBE's on solicitation lists; (2) Solicit potential SMWBE's, whenever they are potential sources; (3) Reduce contract size/quantities, when economically feasible, to permit maximum participation of SBE's SMWBE's; (4) Establish delivery schedules to encourage participation by SMWBE's; (5) Use the services and assistance of the SBA, the Minority Business Development Agency, the U.S. Department of Commerce, as appropriate; (6) Require Prime Contractor's to follow steps 1-5 when awarding subcontracts or sub -agreements. C. Professional Service/Other Contracts - As part of the application phase, applicants typically enter into prime contracts for professional services such as Financial Advisor, Bond Counsel, and Consultant Engineer. In addition to following the Six Affirmative Steps, the Applicant must also procure professional services in accordance with Title 10, Chapter 2254 of the Texas Government Code (Professional Services Procurement Act) and Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 31 (Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments). D. Contractor Selection - Recipients are responsible for establishing their own criteria for awarding contracts and for reviewing RFQ's, IFB's, and other bid documents to determine their validity and acceptability. Although the TWDB does not oversee this aspect of the process, it does recommend that adequate documentation be maintained to show the openness of the selection process and the method used to select the proposal/bid to ensure compliance with EPA's policy. E. Documentation ♦ Financial Aoalication Phase - As part of the financial application package, applicants must submit documentation certifying an understanding of EPA's good faith effort policy, including the fair share goals and six affirmative steps. This information is documented on TWDB form WRD-215, APPLICANT AFFIRMATIVE STEPS CERTIFICATION and GOALS. Note: It is not uncommon for applicants to procure the services of Financial Advisor, Bond Counsel, and Consultant Engineer during the financial application phase. However, they must have been procured in accordance w ith EPA's good faith effort policy to be funded with federal loan proceeds. ♦ Subsequent Proiect Phases - Once the TWDB approves the loan commitment, applicants may proceed with the planning, design, and construction phases of the project, as directed by the TWDB review/project engineer. For each new procurement or contract award, the applicant (in the procurements of prime contractors) and the prime contractors (in the procurement of subcontractors) must demonstrate their understanding and adherence to EPA's good faith effort policy for all project costs to be funded with federal loan proceeds.

Applicants and prime contractors are required to provide copies of outreach letters, mailing lists, telephone, fax, and email tracking logs. ♦ Small Business Administration's (SBA) Sub -Net - Sub -Net is an Internet -based system that allows applicants and prime contractors to post their procurement opportunities online. Access to the database is free to government agencies and contractors, and is an excellent resource for soliciting SMWBE's for your project. The Sub -Net database can be accessed at: http:/tweb.sba.gov/subnet ♦ Newspaper Advertisements - The posting of applicable project procurement opportunities should be done in accordance with the notice requirements of state law on competitive bidding, where applicable. There are speck laws governing each type of entity. For example, two important provisions of state law governing municipalities require: 1. The'notice should be published once a week for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper published in the municipality. If no newspaper is published in the municipality, the notice must be posted at the city hall for 14 days before the date set to publicly open the bids and read them aloud; 2. The date of the first publication should be BEFORE the 14"' day of the date set to publicly open the bids. *** Please consult your legal counsel for specific laws governing your entity. *** Pertinent language that needs to appear within the text of the solicitation includes: A. This contract is contingent upon release of funds from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB). B. Any contractor contracts awarded under this Invitation for Bid (IFB) or Request for Qualifications (RFQ) are expected to be funded in part by a loan from the TWDB. Neither the State of Texas nor any of its departments, agencies, or employees are or will be a party to this IFB, RFQ, or any resulting contract. C. This contract is subject to the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "fair share policy", which includes EPA -approved "fair share goals" for Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) & Women Business Enterprise (WBE) firms in the Construction, Supplies, Equipment, and Services procurement categories. EPA's policy requires that applicants and prime contractors make a good faith effort to award a fair share of contracts, subcontracts, and procurements to SMWBE's. Although EPA's policy does not mandate that the fair share goals be achieved, it does require applicants and prime contractors to demonstrate us of the six affirmative steps. The current fair share goals for the State of Texas are as follows: CATEGORY MBE WBE CONSTRUCTION 34.0% 8.0% SUPPLIES 18.0% 29.0% EQUIPMENT 13.0% 13.0% SERVICES 22.0% 26.0% D.

AFFIRMATIVE STEPS OUTREACH PROGRAM A. Affirmative Step One: Include qualified SMWBE's on solicitation lists See "Tips for Achieving a Good Faith Effort in Procurement" on previous page. B. Affirmative Step Two: Solicit potential SMWBE's, whenever they are potential sources ♦ DIRECT COMMUNICATION - Use of direct communication as a means to solicit potential contractors can include contact by certified letter, facsimile, e-mail and by telephone. Direct communication implies that a contractor solicitation list has been established; this list must be provided as backup documentation to the WRD-216 form when submitted. ♦ INDIRECT COMMUNICATION - Use of indirect communication as a means to solicit potential contractors can include advertising in one or more local, regional or statewide newspapers, trade association publications, m inority media outlets, Internet or other website listings, and/or by notifying women and minority business organizations and chambers of commerce of these procurement opportunities. Newspaper advertisements must run in accordance with applicable purchasing guidelines and must include a statement encouraging the participation of minorities, women and small businesses submitting an RFQ and/or bid. C. Affirmative Step Three: Reduce contract size/quantities, when economically feasible, to permit maximum participation of SBE's SMWBE's Reducing contract size increases the opportunity for SMWBE participation by dividing the work into smaller increments that may be more favorable to smaller businesses. An optimum time to consider reducing contract size is during the project design phase. Methods for reducing contract size could include, but are not limited to: reviewing the project for opportunities to stage work; dividing multiple -site work; dividing work by task; limiting "brand name requirements"; and soliciting multiple bid items. D. Affirmative Step Four: Establish Delivery Schedules to Encourage Participation Delivery schedules can sometimes determine whether a firm will be able to participate in the procurement process. Short delivery schedules often favor larger firms that have more staff and more available resources to complete big projects in a short period of time. Advanced planning and adequate project management can allow for reasonable delivery schedules, lengthening response time to receive bids and/or proposals, and can even increase competition, which can lead to reduced cost to the applicant. E. Affirmative Step Five: Use the services and assistance of the SBA, the Minority Business Development Agency, and the U.S. Department of Commerce, as appropriate The SBA and the Department of Commerce (DOC) Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) both manage outreach programs to assist SMWBE's business increase their procurement opportunities. The SBA assists small businesses in the development of business plans, financing, and education; applicants are encouraged to educate contractors on the services available to them through these government organizations. See Affirmative Step One for web links to those agencies. F. Affirmative Step Six: Require all Prime contractors to follow steps 1-5 when awarding subcontracts/sub-agreements Prime Contractors are required to follow steps 1-5 when awarding subcontracts/sub- w agreements. They are also required to include the applicable "fair share objectives" in all project bid documents when soliciting for subcontracting opportunities. Including this information in the bid document/RFP ensures the potential bidder's awareness of the requirement and notification to comply. Any contract or subcontract awarded without regard to the "fair share objectives" can be considered ineligible for loan funding by the TWDB. Texas Water Development Board VI. Authority A.

GENERAL INFORMATION A. Background - The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) receives grants from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide low -interest loans to eligible political subdivisions. As a direct result of the United States Supreme Court's decision in Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Pena 115 S. Ct. 2097 (1995), the EPA established new policies governing Small, Minority and Women -Owned Business Enterprises (SMWBE). These new policies are included in the Grants and Operating Agreements between the EPA and TWDB, and apply to all recipients of financial assistance. B. EPA Policy - EPA's policy (policy) requires recipients of its financial assistance to establish Fair Share Goals (goals) for awarding contracts and procuring goods and services from SMWBE's in the construction, supplies, equipment, and services procurement categories. The policy is meant to ensure that SMWBE's have the opportunity to participate in the procurement process, for all phases of the project. It is important to note that although the policy includes small (SBE) and rural area (SBRA) business enterprises, EPA is only statutorily required to collect data and enforce fair share goal objectives for Minority and Women -Owned business enterprises. TWDB will continue to collect information on SBE and SBRA participation, but those contract awards will not count towards the MBE and WBE goals. C. Applicability - EPA's policy applies to all procurements made after May 8, 1998, for the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program (DWSRF), Tier III Clean Water State Revolving Fund program (CWSRF) and Colonia Wastewater Treatment Assistance Program (CWTAP). TWDB programs not affected by this policy are: Water Quality Enhancement (WQE), Water Supply Account (WSA), State Participation, Agricultural Loans and Grants, Tier II Clean Water State ., Revolving Fund program (CWSRF) and Economically Distressed Areas Program (EDAP). D. Guidance Document - The intent of the SMWBE guidance document is to assist applicants and contractors comply with EPA's policy regarding SMWBE's. It is based, in part, on publications, training m anuals and other guidance documents developed by EPA to implement their policies published in 40 CFR Parts 30, 31, and 35. The guide also ensures consistency with the Supreme Court's decision in Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Pena 115 S. Ct. 2097 (1995) . E. Benefits - The Affirmative Steps Outreach Program is designed to benefit both recipients of EPA funds and the business community. Applicants can receive lower interest rates on loans in comparison to those available on the open- market, as well as having access to a greater pool of potential contractors to bid on their projects. This increased competition could have the affect of lowering overall project costs, thus, lessening the repayment burden on the Applicant. F. TWDB Role - The TWDB strives to provide all the necessary technical assistance needed to both applicants and prim a contractors throughout all phases of the project. This can include reviewing draft newspaper advertisements, Request for Qualifications (RFQ), and Information for Bids (IFB) to ensure SMWBE components are included; and �- scheduling pre -application, project management, pre -bid and pre -construction conferences upon request.

Texas Water Development Board SMWBE Guidance Document (SRF-052v.5) rev. 07121106 III. FAIR SHARE POLICY A. Fair Share Policy - It is EPA's policy that recipients of EPA financial assistance through grants, cooperative agreements and loans put forth a good faith effort to identify, solicit and if possible, award a fair share of contracts/procurements to small, minority and women -owned businesses. This policy applies to all contracts/procurements for construction, supplies, equipment and services. In accordance with these guidelines, the TWDB has established and presently administers the SMWBE program, to promote SMWBE participation for all applicable program projects. B. Fair Share Goals - The goals shown below were developed using data from the 1997 United States Economic Census, which determined the availability of small, minority and women - owned businesses throughout the State. The goals are applied to individual project contracts and procurements, which then determines the maximum potential procurement opportunities (in dollars) that are available to be awarded to MBE's and WBE's in each of the applicable procurement categories. It is important to note that the goals are not achievement. standards or quotas, nor is achieving the goals mandatory. However, applicants and prime contractors (includinq minority and women -owned businesses) are required to adequately demonstrate that a good faith effort was made to achieve the goals using EPA's six affirmative steps. The fair share goals are negotiated by individual states, and are then presented to EPA for approval. The current EPA -approved fair share goals f or the State of Texas are as follows: Procurement MBE Goal WBE Goal Category Percentage (%) Percentage (%) Constryctioln Supplies 18% 29% iEiWirrient 1 ...__............ ..-... ___ ..__ .........__ .. _ Services 22% 26% MEN r_ WRD-215 Revised 07/21 /06 TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD APPLICANTIENTITY AFFIRMATIVE STEPS CERTIFICATION and GOALS WRD-215 I.

The rings shall have the following properties: Diameter-0.12" galvanized wire per ASTM 313, Type 302, Class I. Tensile Strength-260,000 PSI-280,000 PSI per ASTM E 8/TP2004. B. Fastening Method 1. Rings shall be placed using Spenex Pneumatic tool or Spenex tool. 2. Overlap of completed rings shall be '/2" minimum with not less than one inch total overlap. 3. Spacing of the rings shall not exceed four inches. C. Application Rings may be used at any location where %Z" overlap of the ring can be made. In the event a %Z" overlap of the ring cannot be obtained, the specified lacing wire method shall be used. The Spenex rings are generally suitable for use in the following locations. 1._ Revet Mattresses Spenex rings may be used in place of the tie wire on all assembly, closure, and attachment to adjacent revet mattress operations provided that a one- half (1/2") inch overlap can be obtained in the ring. 2. Gabions Spenex rings may be used in place of the tie wire on gabions at the following locations: (1) The sides of the gabion to the sides of the diaphragm. (2) The sides of the gabion to the edges of the end panel. (3) The lid to the top of the diaphragms. (4) The lid to tire top of the end panel except when two gabions are to be attached joining end to end. (5) Rings may be used at any point of contact between adjacent gabions where a %Z" overlap of the Spenex ring can be obtained. Spenex rings may not be used for (1) Attachment of gabions end to end at the selvedge joint. (2) On any area where a `/z" overlap of the Spenex ring cannot be obtained. 2.4 Geo--textile Fabric _ Geo-textile fabric for use as a filter media, when specified on the plans, shall he placed along gabion structure as shown at the plans. The fabric to be used shall be Trevira 1114, ADS-600, or approved equal. 25 Granular Filter Media Granular filter media, when specified on the plans, shall be placed to the limits as shown on the plans. Granular filter media shall consist of 1-1 /2" crushed stone. PART 3. CONSTRUCTION 3.1 General: The gabions shall be placed in accordance with the site and type as shown on the plans. PVC coated gabions shall be used in the locations as shown on the plans. Galvanized gabions shall be used on rows as shown on the plans. The placement shall be in close conformity to the line and grade shown on the plans and cross- Y sections and shall be in strict accordance with these specifications. 32 Fabric Placement: After excavation to grade has been performed, the geo-textile fabric, when specified on the plans, shall be placed to the limits as shown on the plans. Care shall be taken not to place the fabric exceeding the limits shown on the plans. Adjacent pieces of filter fabric shall be overlapped a minimum of 18". Fabric shall be secured, when necessary, by pins or other suitable means before placing the gabions. Excess fabric protruding past the finished gabions shall be cut off. 3.2 Gabion Assembly: Gabion shall be assembled by first unfolding the baskets on a hard flat surface and stamping out all kinks. The front, back, and end panels shall be folded up and fastened together with the projecting heavy gauge selvedge wire by twisting it around the selvedge wire of the other panel two (2) complete turns. The diaphragms and the end panels tied to the sides of the gabion by the specified tying method. 3.3 Tying Method: All tying of gabions in each step of construction shall be done in the following manner: Cut a length of tie wire approximately 5' long, secure the wire at one end by looping and twisting together, then proceed tying with double loops (made at the same point) every 5" apart, pulling the basket pieces tightly together. Secure the end of the wire by again looping and twisting. No other wire except the type supplied with the gabions shall be used. No clips, rings, and other fastening devices, made of other than the tie wire furnished with the gabions may be used, .. except as specified herein. Special attention shall be given that all gabions are tied in this manner. Proper tying of the gabions at all steps in construction is critical to the performance of the finished gabion structure. w 3.4 Gabion Placement: After the gabions have been assembled, the gabions shall then be placed in position empty and shall be tied together, each to its neighbor along all contacting edges in order to form a continuous connecting structural unit. Gabions 3' high, that are to be placed in a straight row, are to be stretched in the following manner before being tied to the adjacent gabions: Tie together approximately 100' of gabions and fill one gabion cell on the end to hold the row in place or tie the end gabion to an existing gabion already filled and then stretch the row of gabions with a come -a -long or other suitable means until the row of gabions is stretched sufficiently to remove all kinks. Do not over stretch. A frame or other suitable means shall he used to avoid deformation of the end wall when stretching the gabions. While maintaining tension, tie the row of gabions to its neighbor along all contacting edges. 3.6 Filling tire Gabion: A. Filling Procedure: When the assembled empty gabions have been installed, the gabions shall then be filled in the following manner: The gabions may be filled by machine but shall be filled in 12" layers. Care shall be taken when placing the rock into the gabions to ensure that the gabions are not damaged or bent. Edges of gabions and diaphragms may be protected by tying steel reinforcement to the gabions or other suitable means. B. Hand Manipulation: Sufficient hand manipulation for the rock shall be performed in each 12" layer of rock to minimize voids and result in a maximum density of the rock in the gabion. Retaining walls shall have the rock in vertical outside surfaces placed by hand with large rock in order to achieve the best appearance. It is critical to the performance of the finished gabion structure that the gabions are filled to their maximum with voids in the gabion minimized by manipulation of the rock. C. Internal Tie Wire Reinforcement: In gabions that are 3' high, a looped inner tie wire shall be installed in each cell connecting to front and back faces and any unsupported face every 12" of vertical height. Individual cells may not be filled more than 12" above any adjacent cell unless looped inner tie wire run in both directions. Care shall be taken that the individual cells do not bulge outward and that the rows are straight, level, and have square corners. 3.7 Closing the Gabions: When each gabion has been filled to its maximum, which is slightly higher than the sides, and surface leveled with a minimum amount of voids, the lids shall be pried down and over with a bar or lid closing tool until the edge of the lid and the edge of the basket are together. It should require a light stretching in order to bring the two gabion pieces together. The heavy projecting wire on the lid shall then be twisted around the heavy wire on the sides two (2) complete turns and the lid shall then be tied to the sides and tops of the diaphragms in the same manner as the basket are assembled. The lids of the gabions shall also be tied together, each to its — neighbor along all contacting edges to ensure the formation of a continuous connecting structural unit. Special attention shall be given that all projecting sharp ends of wire are turned in. 3.8 Cutting the Gabions: A General: Gabions may be cut to form bevels, curves, or small baskets. Re- tying shall be in a manner to produce a closed cell and re -tying of the gabion shall be in the same manner as the assembly. Excess mesh wire " shall be cut off or be tightly and neatly laced down in accordance with the following methods. B. Bevels: Two of the methods are: 1. Cut or untie the bottom of the end panel and re -tie the excess mesh. Note: This is not the generally preferred method. Short Gabion lengths may be required to produce the angle at the correct location. This- method is generally recommended for angles not exceeding 20 degrees. 2. Cut the gabion on three sides at the point where the angle is to be made. Sharply bend the uncut side, overlap the cut pieces and re- y tie. Note: This is the generally preferred method. This method would normally use the longest size gabion available. C. Curves: Gabions may be formed to any radius by cutting the gabions on three sides at equally spaced points (the number of cuts and the spacing is a function of the radius), bend the uncut sides overlapping the ends and re -tie in accordance with the specifications. Note: This procedure could extend over several gabion lengths in a large radius. This method would generally use the longest size gabion. PART 4. EXPERIENCE All rock construction shall be performed by Contractors or subcontractors having prior experience in gabion construction in the -- Tarrant/Dallas/Collin/Denton county area in the State of Texas. PART 5. QUALITY CONTROL Proper tying of all joints and the baskets being filled in their maximum density with a minimum amount of voids is very critical to the performance of the gabions. Therefore, compliance with the technical specifications shall be closely and thoroughly inspected and any work not meeting the implied quality shall be rejected. PART 6. PAYMENT Gabion structures shall be paid for based on the percentage of work complete as determined from the Contract unit price per cubic yard installed, complete -in -place. Compensation shall be based on furnishing and placing all materials, (gabion under drains, and filter fabric), tools, labor, equipment, and other incidental necessary to complete and install .. gabion structures in accordance with the intent of construction drawings and specifications.
