same nature and magnitude as that of the project for which bids are to be
received, and such experience must have been on projects completed not more

be paid in one lump sum upon completion and acceptance by the City of Fort -
Worth Water Department.
9. AGE: In accordance with the policy ("Policy') of the Executive Branch of the

books, records, or files in its possession that will substantiate the actual work

be grounds for termination of the contract and/or initiating action under the
appropriate federal, state or local laws or ordinances relating to the false
statements. Further, any such misrepresentation (other than a negligent
misrepresentation) and/or commission of fraud will result in the Contractor being
determined to be irresponsible and barred from participating in City work for a
period of time of not less than three (3) years.
The City will consider the Contractor's performance regarding its M/WBE program
in the evaluation of bids. Failure to comply with the City's M/WBE Ordinance, or

toward meeting its goals. The Contractor may count toward its goal a portion of
the total dollar amount of the contract with a joint venture equal to the percentage
of the M/WBE participation in the joint venture for a clearly defined portion of the
work to be performed. All M/WBE contractors used in meeting the goals must be
certified prior to the award of the Contract. The M/WBE contractor(s) must be
certified by either the North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency

subcontractor or supplier prior to bid opening may result in the rejection of bid as
non-responsive.
FTW99425 SI-4

supplier, the M/WBE shall be given an opportunity to perform the work.
Whenever a change order exceeds ten (10%) percent of the original contract, the
M/WBE coordinator shall determine the goals applicable to the work to be
performed under the change order.
During the term of the contract the contractor shall:
Make no unjustified changes or deletions in its M/WBE participation
commitments submitted with or subsequent to the bid, and,
If substantial subcontracting and/or substantial supplier opportunities arise
during the term of the contract which the contractor had represented he

3.00 EXECUTION
3.01 INSTALLATION
A. Size conduits as required by the NEC for the number and sizes of wires to be drawn into
the conduit. Conduits less than 3/4" shall not be used unless specified otherwise.
B. Install the conduit at elevations which maintain headroom and at locations which avoid
interference with other work requiring grading of pipe,the structure, finished ceiling,
walls, etc. Avoid crossing other work. Do not place the conduits in close proximity to
equipment, systems and service lines, such as the hot water supply and return lines or
steam pipes which could be detrimental to the conduit and its contents. Maintain a
minimum of 3" separation, except in crossing,which shall be a minimum of 1".
C. Prevent displacement by securely supporting the conduit which is to be concealed and
installed in advance of other work. Carefully layout all conduit installed within the
structure, such as in floors,beams and walls to avoid densities excessive for the
construction.
D. Cut the conduit square with a saw. Ream, deburr and swab the inside of the conduit
before installing the conductors. Make bends and offsets in 1" and smaller conduit with
approved bending devices. Use a hydraulic, one-shot conduit bender or factory elbows
for bends in conduit larger than 1". Use conduit bodies to make sharp changes in
direction around ground beams. Install no more than four(4) 90 degree bends between
boxes.
E. Where space conditions prohibit the use of standard elbows, use cast ferrous alloy
fittings to match the conduit construction. "Condulet" type fittings shall not be used on
' conduit containing#4 or larger wire.
F. Make conduit joints mechanically tight and electrically continuous. Pitch the conduit in
areas where moisture may be present to avoid creating moisture traps. Where indicated
or necessary to prevent accumulation of water in the conduit,provide a junction box with
3 a drain fitting at the conduit system's low point.
G. Group the conduit in parallel runs where practical and use a conduit rack constructed of
steel channels with conduit straps or clamps. Prove space for an additional 25% conduit.
Route conduit inside building extents parallel to building lines.
H. Route and suspend conduit crossing expansion or Seismic joints to permit expansion,
contraction, and deflection utilizing approved fittings to prevent damage to the structure,
conduit, and supporting devices. Combination expansion/deflection fittings shall be
installed on conduits which are concealed when they cross expansion joints. Route
conduit through roof openings for piping and ductwork where possible; otherwise,route
through the roof with pitch pocket. Do not allow conduit to penetrate duct work. Do not
install conduit exposed on the roof without prior permission from the Engineer.

I. Connect motors, equipment containing motors, equipment mounted on isolated
foundations, light fixtures and other equipment and devices which are subject to
vibration and which require adjustment with a liquid-tight, flexible metallic conduit from
the device to the conduit serving it. The maximum length of the flexible conduit shall be
3011,unless specifically instructed otherwise by the Engineer in writing.
J. Install escutcheons on exposed conduits passing through interior floors,walls and
ceiling. Install fire seals on conduit passing through fire-rated partitions, floors and
ceilings. Install through-wall seals on conduit passing through exterior walls, or use
standard, galvanized steel pipe sleeves with diameters 1/2" greater than the outside
diameter of the sleeved conduit. Fill the annular space with oakum and the ends of the
sleeve with fire-resistant compound.
K. Install a sleeve for the conduit passing through the interior floors and insulated throat
grounding bushings on conduit which is stubbed through slabs and foundations into
electrical enclosures.
#' L. Provide grounding for conduit, fittings and accessories.
M. Use PVC coated,rigid steel,factory elbows for bends in PVC conduit runs which are
longer than 100', or in PVC runs which have more that two bends, regardless of their
length.
N. Use double locknut construction on conduit which terminates at electrical enclosures,
pull boxes, motor terminal enclosures, etc., with an approved bushing over the conduit.
Increase the length of the conduit threads at outlets and junction boxes wherever
necessary to accommodate double locknuts and bushings. Seat all bushings fully against
the end of the conduit.
l
O. Generally, conduit runs shall not be installed in concrete slabs,but shall be installed in
cushion sand below slabs. Where specifically indicated to be cast into concrete, conduits
shall be rigid steel and shall be located in the middle between top and bottom
reinforcing. Maintain a minimum of 1-1/2" concrete cover at all locations. The
maximum size of conduit permitted to be embedded in slabs is 1". Do not route conduit
in a manner to cross each other. Conduit shall have a minimum spacing of 1-1/2" apart.
Unless specifically indicated, conduits shall not be placed in slabs on grade.
P. Use PVC coated,rigid metal conduit for all conduits penetrating slabs. Where PVC
coated,rigid steel or aluminum conduit joins a dissimilar conduit,the fittings shall also
be PVC coated. PVC conduit in slabs shall be protected from mechanical damage by
extending PVC coated rigid metal conduit a minimum of 12" into the concrete at the
transition.
Q. Use suitable conduit caps to protect installed conduit against entry of dirt and moisture.
