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 to 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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Please provide additional information you feel will further explain your good and honest efforts to obtain
M/WBE participation on this project.
We were unable to achieve 11 % DarticiDation on this Droiect. We contacted Cowtown Traffic Control and
Roadrunner Traffic Suoolv but Cowtown was undecided and no auote was received and Roadrunner Traffic
SUDoly is a suDDlier of eguioment oniv not a Traffic Control Contractor. Much of this work is scecialized work: a lot
of which we are able to self Derform. For the entire contract we will be subcontracting onlv 9.29% which is below
the 11 % goal. I believe our documentation shows our good faith and honest efforts to achieve the 11 % goal.
The bidder further agrees to provide, directly to the City upon request, complete and
accurate information regarding actual work performed on this contract, the payment
thereof and any proposed changes to the original arrangements submitted with this bid.
The bidder also agrees to allow an audit and/or examination of any books, records and
files held by their company that will substantiate the actual work performed on this
contract, by an authorized officer or employee of the City.
Any intentional and/or knowing misrepresentation of facts will be grounds for
terminating the contract or debarment from City work for a period of not less than three
(3) years and for initiating action under Federal, State or Local laws concerning false
statements. Any failure to comply with this ordinance and creates a material breach of
contract may result in a determination of an irresponsible offeror and barred from
participating in City work for a period of time not less than one (1) year.
The undersigned certifies that the information provided and the M/WBE(s) listed

NON -PAY ITEM 13: TEMPORARY EROSION, SEDIMENT AND WATER POLLUTION
CONTROL (FOR DISTURBED AREAS LESS THAN 1 ACRE):
a. DESCRIPTION: This item shall consist of temporary soil erosion sediment and water
pollution control measures deemed necessary by the Engineer for the duration of the
contract. These control measures shall at no time be used as a substitute for the permanent
control measure unless otherwise directed by the engineer and they shall not include
measures taken by the CONTRACTOR to control conditions created by his construction
operations. The temporary measures shall include dikes, dames, berms, sediment basins,
fiber mats, jute netting, temporary seeding, straw mulch, asphalt mulch, plastic liners, rubble
liners, baled -hay retards, dikes, slope drains and other devices.
b. CONSTRUCTION REQUIRMENTS: The Engineer has the authority to define erodible earth
and the authority to limit the surface are of erodible -earth material exposed by preparing
right-of-way, clearing and grubbing, the surface area of erodible -earth material exposed by
excavation, borrow and to direct the CONTRACTOR to provide temporary pollution -control
measures to prevent contamination of adjacent streams, other water course, lakes, ponds or
other areas of water impoundment. Such work may involve the construction of temporary
berms, dikes, dams, sediment basins, slope drains and use of temporary mulches, mats,
seeding or other control devices or methods directed by the Engineer as necessary to control
soil erosion. Temporary pollution -control measures shall be used to prevent or correct
erosion that may develop during construction prior to installation of permanent pollution
control features, but are not associated with permanent control features on the project. The
Engineer will limit the area of preparing right-of-way, clearing and grubbing, excavation and
borrow to be proportional to the CONTRACTOR'S capability and progress in keeping the
finish grading, mulching, seeding, and other such permanent pollution -control measures
current in accordance with the accepted schedule. Should seasonal conditions make such
{ - limitations unrealistic, temporary soil -erosion -control measures shall be performed as
directed by the Engineer.
(1) Waste or disposal areas and construction roads shall be located and constructed in a
manner that will minimize the amount of sediment entering streams.
(2) Frequent fordings of live streams will not be permitted; therefore, temporary bridges or
other structures shall be used wherever an appreciable number of stream crossing are
necessary.
(3) Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Engineer, mechanized equipment shall not
be operated in live streams.
(a) When work areas or material sources are located in or adjacent to live streams, such
areas shall be separated from the stream by a dike or other barrier to keep sediment from
entering a flowing stream. Care shall be taken during the construction and removal of
such barriers to minimize the muddying of a stream.
(5) All waterways shall be cleared as soon as practicable of false work, piling, debris or other
obstructions placed during construction operations that are not part of the finished work.
(6) The Contractor shall take sufficient precautions to prevent pollution of streams, lakes and
reservoirs with fuels, oils, bitumens, calcium chloride or other harmful materials. He shall
conduct and schedule his operations so as to avoid or minimize siltation of streams, lakes
and reservoirs and to avoid interference with movement of migratory fish.
7/23/2009 SP-20
c. SUBMITTAL: Prior to the start of the applicable construction, the Contractor shall submit for
approval his schedules for accomplishment of soil -erosion -control work and his plan to keep
the area of erodible -earth material to a minimum. He shall also submit for acceptance his
proposed method of soil -erosion control on construction and haul roads and material sources
and his plan for disposal of waste materials. No work shall be started until the soil -erosion
control schedules and methods of operations have been reviewed and approved by the
Engineer.
d. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT: All work, materials and equipment necessary to provide
temporary erosion control shall be considered subsidiary to the contract and no extra pay will
be given for this work.
NON -PAY ITEM 14: TRAFFIC CONTROL: The Contractor will be required to obtain a "Street
Use Permit" prior to starting work. As part of the "Street Use Permit" a traffic control plan is required.
The Contractor shall be responsible for providing traffic control during the construction of this project
consistent with the provisions set forth in the "Latest Edition Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices for Streets and Highways," issued under the authority of the "State of Texas Uniform Act
Regulating Traffic on Highways," codified as Article 6701d Vernon's Civil Statutes, pertinent sections
being Section Nos. 27, 29, 30 and 31.
A traffic control plan shall be submitted for review to Mr. Charles R. Burkett, City Traffic Engineer at
(817) 392-8712, at the pre -construction conference. Although work will not begin until the traffic
control plan has been reviewed, the Contractor's time will begin in accordance with the time frame
established in the Notice to the Contractor.
The Contractor will not remove any regulatory sign, instructional sign, street name sign or other sign,
which has been erected by the City. If it is determined that a sign must be removed to permit
required construction, the Contractor shall contact the Transportation and Public Works Department,
Signs and Markings Division, (Phone Number 871-7738) to remove the sign. In the case of
regulatory signs, the Contractor must replace the permanent sign with a temporary sign meeting the
requirements of the above -referenced manual and such temporary sign must be installed prior to the
removal of the permanent sign. If the temporary sign is not installed correctly or if it does not meet
the required specifications, the permanent sign shall be left in place until the temporary sign
requirements are met. When construction work is completed to the extent that the permanent sign
can be reinstalled, the Contractor shall again contact the Signs and Markings Division to reinstall the
permanent sign and shall leave his temporary sign in place until such reinstallation is completed.
Work shall not be performed on certain locations/streets during "peak traffic periods" as determination
by the City Traffic Engineer and in accordance with the applicable provision of the "City of Fort Worth
Traffic Control Handbook for Construction and Maintenance Work Areas."

capable of removing deteriorated concrete, laitance, grease, dirt, oil and other contaminants
that inhibit bond of the overlay. Do not use scarifiers, scabblers, or milling machines for
surface preparation. An automated epoxy distribution system, an aggregate spreader, a
broom, and a self-propelled sweeper broom or vacuum truck are preferred in all applications.
The distribution system or distributor must accurately blend the epoxy components and
uniformly and accurately apply the epoxy materials at the specified rate to the bridge deck to
cover 100% of the work area. Equipment should provide compressed air that is free of oil and
water. Hand applications are allowed but the Contractor must submit the methods of
application attested by the manufacturer to the Engineer.
d. CONSTRUCTION:
7/23/2009
(1) Work Plan. Before construction of the epoxy overlay, the Contractor must submit to the
Engineer for acceptance a work plan for constructing the overlay. The work plan will
include but not be limited to proposed equipment, materials, compatibility of concrete
SP-27
repairs (existing and proposed) with the epoxy overlay material, layout of overlay
placement identifying any hand placements, minimum air and deck surface temperatures,
anticipated schedule for traffic control and project phasing to support the proposed work
plan. The work plan must also meet the approval of the manufacturer of the epoxy
materials. Any deviations from the application prescribed by this specification must be
approved by the manufacturer and explained to the Engineer's satisfaction before
acceptance.
(a) Procedure Qualification. The Contractor shall use the following procedure to
determine the cleaning practice (size of shot, flow of shot, forward speed and number
of passes of the shot blasting machine, and other equipment and procedures)
necessary to expose coarse aggregate and to assure adhesion of the overlay to the
substrate. The Contractor shall also use the following quality control procedure to
determine that the materials, batching, mixing, placing and curing procedures provide
9W the required adhesion of the overlay to the substrate.
(i) The Engineer shall designate areas to provide for an evaluation of the range of
surface conditions on the area to be overlaid, including areas with deck repairs, if
any. One designated area shall be evaluated for each span or 500 SY,
whichever is smaller,
(ii) At each of the locations selected by the Engineer, prepare a minimum area of 0.5
SY of the surface using the equipment and procedures proposed for preparing
and cleaning the surface that is to receive the epoxy concrete overlay.
(iii) Clean the surface and apply the overlay to designated quality control areas.
(iv) Overlays of designated areas shall be applied at the same thickness and with the
same materials, equipment, personnel, timing, sequence of operations and
curing period prior to opening to traffic that will be used for the installation of the
overlay.
.. (v) (Evaluate the designated areas using the procedure described in Canadian Test
Method A23,2-66 except that the pipe cap shall be a 2-inch diameter minimum
and that the tensile adhesion evaluation shall not be performed at surface
temperatures above 95 F. Core through the overlay to a minimum of 3/8 in.+/-
1/8 in. into the underlying concrete slab. An evaluation shall be the average of
tests of three locations within the designated area.
(vi) The surface preparation, materials, batching, mixing and curing qualifies as
.� adequate if the minimum stress at failure is 220 psi.
(vii) If the test results do not meet the required 220 psi minimum stress at failure and
surface preparation is not adequate, modify the surface preparation procedures
and repeat the tests until the required minimum stress at failure is achieved. If
the test results do not meet the required 220 psi minimum stress at failure and
the material, batching, mixing, placing and curing are not adequate, modify them
and repeat the test until the required minimum stress at failure is achieved.
(b) Quality Control. If the cleaning practice, materials and installation procedure are not
acceptable, the Contractor shall remove overlays from areas that failed to indicate
that the overlay had adequate tensile adhesion, make the necessary adjustments,
and evaluate all areas again until satisfactory results are obtained.
7/23/2009 SP-28
(2) Surface Preparation and Cleaning. Clean the deck surface by steel shot blasting or
abrasive blasting. Use a blasting technique that exposes the coarse aggregate and
removes asphaltic materials, oils, dirt, rubber, curing compound, paint, carbonation,
laitance, weak surface mortar, and potentially detrimental materials including dust and
other loose material left from the cleaning operation that may interfere with the bonding or
curing of the overlay. The prepared surface shall meet or exceed the requirements of
International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) No. 03732 Standard CSP 5. Use a vacuum
cleaner or oil- and moisture -free air blast to remove dust and other loose material.
Brooms shall not be used. Use water blasting if required. Identify unacceptable levels of
moisture in the deck using a plastic sheet left taped in place for a minimum of 2 hr.
(ASTM D4263) or other approved methods. Cleaning operations will be inspected and
accepted before placing each layer of the overlay. Remove any contamination of the
deck or intermediate courses after initial cleaning. Apply all courses following the
cleaning before opening the area to traffic. Apply the first course within 24 hr, of cleaning,
and place all courses of the overlay within 7 days of cleaning.
The overlay manufacturer's representative must inspect and approve the surface
condition, cleaning, overall deck condition, and agree that the deck is appropriate for the
overlay before the overlay can be applied.
If the Engineer determines that the Contractor has deviated from the approved cleaning
method prior to the completion of the job, the Contractor shall re -clean the suspect areas
using the approved method.
Patching and cleaning operations shall be inspected and approved prior to placement of
each layer of the overlay. Any contamination of the overlay area or intermediate courses
after initial cleaning shall be removed. All courses shall be applied following the cleaning
and prior to opening the area to traffic. The first course must be applied within 24 hours
of cleaning or if longer, a bond test must be conducted to verify the adequacy of the
substrate. Subsequent courses shall be applied as soon as possible considering
environmental and project site conditions. Traffic shall not be permitted on the overlay
until all courses are placed and cured.
(3) Application of Overlay. An overlay manufacturer's representative must be present
during the work until the Contractor has proven its means and methods. The
manufacturer's representative will then submit a letter to the Engineer attesting to the
quality of the Contractor's procedure of work.
Do not place epoxy concrete overlay materials when weather or surface conditions do not
allow the material to be properly handled, placed, and cured within the specified
requirements of traffic control. Do not place epoxy concrete overlay on hydraulic cement
concrete that is less than 28 days old.
The overlay application consists of repetition of two distinct steps: epoxy binder
application and aggregate broadcasting. The minimum finished overlay thickness is 0.25
_ in. Apply the epoxy overlay in multiple courses as prescribed by the manufacturer but at
a rate no less than specified in Table 5. The total of the applications will be as prescribed
by the manufacturer but not less than 7.5 gal. per 100 sq. ft. All epoxy and aggregate
components will be 60OF or above at the time of application. After the epoxy mixture has
7/23/2009 SP-29
as
Course
2*
7/23/2009
been prepared for the epoxy overlay, apply it immediately and uniformly to the surface of
the bridge deck surface. Do not apply epoxy if the air temperature is expected to drop
below overlay system manufacturer's recommendation application temperature range
within 8 hr. after application or if the gel time is expected to drop below 10 min. Apply the
dry aggregate in a manner to cover the epoxy mixture completely within 5 min. of
applying the epoxy. Remove and replace first -course applications that do not receive
enough aggregate prior to gelling. A second course insufficiently covered with aggregate
may be left in place but will require additional applications before opening to traffic. Place
breaks between adjacent overlay application areas at lane lines only. Cure each course
of epoxy concrete overlay until vacuuming or brooming can be performed without tearing
or damaging the surface. Do not permit traffic or equipment on the overlay surface
during curing. After the first course is cured, remove all loose aggregate by vacuuming or
brooming, and apply the next course to completion. Do not begin brooming the excess
aggregate from any course of the overlay until the overlay has cured sufficiently that
brooming will not damage the surface. Do not open the first course to traffic without the
approval or the Engineer or the manufacturer, Do not allow traffic on the overlay until it
has cured sufficiently to prevent damage by wheel loads. Where early opening to traffic
is not necessary, the epoxy may be placed at a lower temperature with the approval of
the manufacturer and the Engineer. Minimum curing periods are specified in Table 6.
Measure temperatures as the material is applied.
