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.
rw B. Our principal place of business or corporate offices are in the State of Texas.

D- 67 REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF ASBESTOS CEMENT PIPE
A. It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth to comply with, the requirements of the Asbestos
National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) found at 40 CFR
Part 61, Subpart M. This specification will establish procedures to be used by all
Excavators in the removal and disposal of asbestos cement pipe (ACP) in compliance with
NESHAP. Nothing in this specification shall be construed to void any provision of a contract
or other law, ordinance, regulation or policy whose requirements are more stringent.
B. ACP is defined under NESHAP as a Category II, non -friable material in its intact state but
which may become friable upon removal, demolition and/or disposal. Consequently, if the
removal/ disposal process renders the ACP friable, it is regulated under the disposal
requirements of 40 CFR 61.150. A NESHAP notification must be filed with the Texas
Department of Health. The notification must be filed at least ten days prior to removal of
the material. If it remains in its non - friable state, as defined by the NESHAP, it can be
disposed as a conventional construction waste. The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) defines friable as material, when dry, which may be crumbled, pulverized or reduced
to powder by hand pressures.
C. The Generator of the hazardous material is responsible for the identification and proper
handling, transportation, and disposal of the material. Therefore, it is the policy of the City
of Fort Worth that the Excavator is the Generator regardless of whether the pipe is friable
or not.
D. It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth that all ACP shall be removed in such careful and
prudent manner that it remains intact and does not become friable. The Excavator is
responsible to employ those means, methods, techniques and sequences to ensure this
,m 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)

equipment for periods in excess of 1 hour. However, the Contractor may begin work prior to 10:00
a.m. if use of motorized equipment is less than 1 hour, or if equipment is new and certified by EPA
_ as "Low Emitting", or equipment burns Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), diesel emulsions, or
` alternative fuels such as CNG.
If the Contractor is unable to perform continuous work for a period of at least seven hours between
the hours of 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., on a designated Air Pollution Watch Day, that day will be
considered as a weather day and added onto the allowable weather days of a given month.

after the installation of the carrier pipe is completed. If carrier pipe is
not installed immediately after casing pipe installation, the Right -of -
Way Owner may require the access pits be temporarily backfilled
until installation of carrier pipe.
b. INSTALLING CARRIER PIPE IN CASINGS "W
1) Pipe to be installed within the casing or tunnel liner shall meet the
requirements for this type of pipe as specified. Where indicated,
place, align, and anchor guide rails and/or casing insulators inside
the casing. If guide rails are used, place cement mortar on both
sides of the rails.
2) Pull or skid pipe into place inside the casing. Lubricants such as flax
soap or drilling mud may be used to ease pipe installation. Do not
use petroleum products, oil or grease for this purpose. If guide rails
are used, install pipe and hold down jacks after installation of carrier
pipe.
3) After installation of the carrier pipe, mortar inside and outside of the
joints as applicable. Verify electrical discontinuity between the
carrier pipe and tunnel liner. If continuity exists, remedy the short
prior to applying cellular grout.
4) After carrier pipe installation is complete, if hold down jacks or
casing spacers are used, seal or plug the ends of the casing.
5) After carrier pipe installation is complete, the annular space between ",
the carrier pipe and tunnel liner or casing shall be completely filled
with cellular grout. The Contractor shall take precautions to prevent
flotation of the carrier pipe. Exterior joint coating (heat shrink
sleeves) is required for polyurethane coated pipe. Provide '°"
necessary bulkheads as recommended by the cellular grout supplier.
If pressure is used to apply grout, verify the maximum allowable
pressure with the carrier pipe manufacturer, and do not exceed this +W
pressure.
0 C. FREE -AIR SYSTEM .,
If required by OSHA standards, free -air systems shall be installed and
maintained.
d. INSTALLATION OF PRESSURE GROUT MIX
1) Install pressure grout mix in the void space between the outside of .+
the casing pipe or tunnel liner and the excavation. For bore or jacks
with casing pipe, install pressure grout mix immediately upon
completion of setting casing pipe. For tunnel liner plate, install JAW
11102104 ASC - 38 W
%W
PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
pressure grout mix at the end of each work day or more often as
conditions warrant.
2) Unless specified otherwise, install pressure grouting through grout
fittings for the casing pipe or tunnel liner plate 48" in diameter or
larger. Grout fittings shall be fabricated into casing pipe and tunnel
liner plate at a maximum spacing of 6'. Remove and plug grout
fittings after pressure grouting.
3) Install pressure grout from the low end for all crossings where grout
fittings are not used. Seal the low end and pressure grout until grout
is extruded from the opposite end.
3.
CROSSINGS INSTALLED BY BORING
a. Perform the boring from the low or downstream end unless specified
otherwise. Bore the holes mechanically and use a pilot hole. By this
MW
method, an approximate 2" pilot hole shall be bored the entire length of the
crossing and shall be checked for line and grade. This pilot hole shall
serve as the centerline of the larger diameter hole to be bored. Place
excavated material near the top of the working pit and dispose of material
�`
as required. The use of water or other fluids in connection with the boring
operation will be permitted only to the extent to lubricate cuttings. Jetting
shall not be permitted.
b. In unconsolidated soil formations, a gel -forming colloidal drilling fluid
consisting of at least 10% of high grade carefully processed bentonite may
be used to consolidate cuttings of the bit, seal the walls of the hole, and
furnish lubrication for subsequent removal of cuttings and installation of the
pipe immediately thereafter.
t
C. In locations where the soil formation is other than consolidated rock, insert
the casing pipe simultaneously with the boring operation. This requirement
applies to all bored holes of 18" or greater in diameter. For smaller
diameter bored holes, it is desirable that the casing be installed as the
boring progresses, but because of differences in soil formations, the time
for inserting the casing shall be the Contractor's responsibility. In the event
..
that caving sand or water bearing materials are encountered, insert the
casing pipe simultaneously with the boring operation regardless of the
diameter of the bored hole. In all cases, the security and integrity of the
M"
roadway is the primary concern. The Contractor shall be held fully
responsible for the continued integrity of the structure of the roadway being
crossed, whether or not a casing pipe is inserted simultaneously with the
�►
boring operation.
1� 4.
CROSSINGS INSTALLED BY TUNNELING AND JACKING
a. Jack the pipe from the low or downstream end, unless specified otherwise.
Provide heavy duty jacks suitable for forcing the pipe through the
embankment. In operating jacks, apply even pressure to the jacks used.
Provide a suitable jacking head and bracing between jacks so that
11102104
ASC - 39
�r
r
it
PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
pressure will be applied to the pipe uniformly around the ring of the pipe.
Provide a suitable jacking frame or back stop. Set the pipe to be jacked on
guides, properly braced together, to support the section of the pipe and to
direct it in the proper line and grade. Place the whole jacking assembly so "
as to line up with the direction and grade of the pipe. In general, excavate
embankment material just ahead of the pipe and material removed through
the pipe. Force the pipe through the embankment with jacks into the space
provided.
b. The excavation for the underside of the pipe, for at least 1/3 of the
circumference of the pipe, shall conform to the contour and grade of the
pipe. Provide a clearance of not more than 2" for the upper half of the
pipe. This clearance shall be tapered off to zero at the point where the _
excavation conforms to the contour of the pipe. Extend the distance of the
excavation beyond the end of the pipe depending on the character of the
material, but do not exceed 2' in any case. Decrease the distance if the
character of the material being excavated makes it desirable to keep the
advance excavation closer to the end of the pipe.
C. If desired, use a cutting edge of steel plate around the head end of the pipe
extending a short distance beyond the end of the pipe with inside angles or
lugs to keep the cutting edge from slipping back onto pipe.
d. When jacking of pipe has begun, carry on the operation without interruption
to prevent the pipe from becoming firmly set in the embankment. Remove
and replace any pipe damaged in the jacking operations. The Contractor
shall absorb the entire expense.
5. CROSSINGS INSTALLED WITH TUNNEL LINER PLATE
a. Install the tunnel liner plates to the limits indicated and as specified in
AASHTO Standards Specifications for Highway Bridges, Section II-26,
Construction Tunnels Using Steel Tunnel Liner Plates. Assemble steel
liner plates into circumferential rings. Liner plates shall be of the type to
permit segments to be installed completely from inside the tunnel or bore.
60
b. Accurately maintain the face of the excavation inside the tunnel so as to
allow the absolute minimum of void space outside the liner plate. Maintain
a maximum of 1/2" tolerance between the outside of the liner plate and the ..
excavation wherever possible. The tunnel diameter shall not be greater
than 2" larger than the liner O.D.
Liner plate installation shall proceed as closely as possible behind the
excavation. Excavation shall at no time be more than 6" ahead of the
required space to install an individual tunnel liner plate. Use breast plates,
poling boards or other suitable devices to maintain accurate excavation
with the minimum of unsupported excavation at any time. Tunnel liner
plate shall not be allowed to deflect vertically during installation.

WHEREAS, the State of Texas ("State"), acting by and through the Texas Department of Transportation
("TxDOT"), proposes to make certain highway improvements on that section of the above -indicated highway; and
WHEREAS, the City of Fort Worth, ("Utility"), proposes to retain, locate, or relocate, if applicable, certain of its
facilities along or across, and within or over such limits of the highway right of way as indicated on the plans
attached hereto except as provided herein below;
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby mutually agreed that joint usage for both highway and utility purposes will be
made of the area within the highway right of way limits as such area is defined and to the extent indicated on the
aforementioned plans. If the facilities shown in the aforementioned plans need to be altered or modified or new
facilities constructed to either accommodate the proposed highway improvements or as part of Utility's future
proposed changes to its own facilities, Utility agrees to notify TxDOT at least 30 days prior thereto, and to furnish
necessary plans showing location and type of construction, unless an emergency situation occurs and immediate
action is required. If an emergency situation occurs and immediate action is required, Utility agrees to notify
TxDOT promptly. If such alteration, modification or new construction is in conflict with the current highway or
planned future highway improvements, or could endanger the traveling public using said highway, TxDOT shall
have the right, after receipt of such notice, to prescribe such regulations as necessary for the protection of the
highway facility and the traveling public using said highway. Such regulations shall not extend, however, to
requiring the placement of intended overhead lines underground or the routing of any lines outside of the area of
joint usage above described.
If Utility's facilities are located along a controlled access highway, Utility understands and .agrees that ingress
and egress for servicing the installation will be limited to (a) frontage roads where provided, (b) nearby or adjacent
public roads or streets, or (c) trails along or near the highway right of way lines, connecting only to an intersecting
road; from any one or all of which entry may be made to the outer portion of the highway right of way for normal
service and maintenance operations. The Utility's rights of access to the through -traffic roadways and ramps
shall be subject to the same rules and regulations as apply to the general public except, however, if an
emergency situation occurs and usual means of access for normal service operations will not permit the
immediate action required by Utility in making emergency repairs as required for the safety and welfare of the
public, Utility shall have a temporary right of access to and from the through -traffic roadways and ramps as
necessary to accomplish the required emergency repairs, provided that TxDOT is immediately notified by Utility
when such repairs are initiated and adequate provision is made by Utility for convenience and safety of highway
traffic.
If Utility's facilities are located along a non -controlled access highway, the Utility's rights of access to the
through -traffic roadways and/or ramps are subject to the same rules and regulations as apply to the general
public.
By executing this Acknowledgement , TxDOT does not purport to grant any right, claim, title, or easement in or
upon this highway. TxDOT may require the Utility to relocate this facility to the extent set forth in state law.
All work on the highway right of way shall be performed in accordance with TxDOT instructions as authorized by
state law.

Utility and TxDOT, by execution of this Acknowledgement, do not waive or relinquish any right which they may
have under the law, and nothing herein shall be interpreted to be an agreement by Utility to an expansion or
addition to TxDOT's authority under state law.
Utility will, by written notice, advise TxDOT of the beginning and completion dates of the adjustment, removal, or
relocation, and, thereafter, agrees to perform such work diligently, and to conclude said adjustment, removal, or
relocation by the stated completion date. The completion date shall be extended for delays caused by events
outside Utility's control, including an event of Force Majeure, which shall include a strike, war or act of war
(whether an actual declaration of war is made or not), insurrection, riot, act of public enemy, accident, fire, flood or
other act of God, sabotage, or other events, interference by the State or any other party with Utility's ability to
proceed with the relocation, or any other event in which Utility has exercised all due care in the prevention
thereof so that the causes or other events are beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Utility.
It is expressly understood that Utility conducts the new installation, adjustment, removal, and/or relocation at its
own risk, and that TxDOT makes no warranties or representations regarding the existence or location of utilities
currently within its right of way.
