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

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 SITE PREPARATION: In general, "site preparation,"as specified in Section 02100, shall be performed
in advance of grading and earthwork operations and shall be completed over the entire area of
earthwork operations.
3.02 TOPSOIL
A. The removal and storage of topsoil shall occur after site preparation is complete and before
excavation and embankment construction begin. Likewise, topsoil will be replaced after
excavation and embankment construction are complete.
B. Removal: Topsoil shall be stripped to an average depth of six inches from areas where
excavation and embankment construction are planned. Topsoil may be obtained from greater
depths if it is uncontaminated by the substratum and it is of good quality, in the opinion of the
Architect/Engineer.
C. Storage: Topsoil shall be stored in stockpiles conveniently located to areas that will later
receive the topsoil. Stockpiles shall be out of the way of earthwork operations in locations
approved by the Owner or Architect/Engineer. Stored topsoil shall be kept separate from other
excavated materials and shall be protected from contamination by objectionable materials that
would render it unsuitable.
D. Timing: Topsoil will not be replaced (deposited) until construction activities are complete that
would create undesirable conditions in the topsoil, such as overcompaction or contamination.
Trenching for items such as electrical conduit and irrigation pressure lines must be complete
before topsoil replacement may begin.
E. Replacement: Topsoil will be deposited in a single layer or lift. It will be placed, processed,
compacted, and graded to leave a finished layer of topsoil not less than five inches in depth.
Unless otherwise indicated, topsoil will be replaced over all areas of earthwork (including
slopes), except where pavement is planned.
F. Grading: Topsoil will be final graded to the elevations shown on the plans. Fine grading will be
accomplished with a weighted spike harrow,weighted drag, tractor box blade, light maintainer,
or other acceptable machinery. All particles of the finish grade shall be reduced to less than
one inch in diameter or they shall be removed. All rocks of one inch or greater shall also be
removed. Grading operations and equipment will be such that topsoil does not become
overcompacted. Bulldozer blades and front-end loader buckets are not acceptable devices for
topsoil grading operations. Final grading within five feet of constructed or installed elements
shall be hand raked.
® G. Acceptability: Finished areas of topsoil are satisfactory if they are true to grade, true in plane,
even in gradient(slope), uniform in surface texture, and of normal compaction. Areas of loose
granular pockets or of overcompacted soils are not acceptable and will be reworked. Finished
areas will promote surface drainage and will be ready for turfgrass planting.

3.03 UNCLASSIFIED EXCAVATION
A. All excavated areas shall be maintained in a condition to assure proper drainage at all times,
and ditches and sumps shall be constructed and maintained to avoid damage to the areas
under construction.
B. Surplus Material:
1. Surplus excavation is that quantity of material that may be left over after the grading
plan is executed, and all earthwork operations, including excavation, embankment
construction, topsoil replacement, and final grading, are completed. Any other surplus
material shall be disposed of as"waste"as specified in Section 02100.
2. At this Park, the Architect/Engineer shall permit the Contractor to"waste"the surplus by
constructing additional embankment in an approved location. No additional payment for
such work would be due that Contractor.
C. Excavation in Rock: The use of explosives will not be permitted. Unless otherwise indicated on
the plans, excavation in solid rock shall extend six inches below required subgrade elevation for
the entire width of the area under construction and shall be backfilled with suitable materials as
indicated on the plans.
3.04 EARTH EMBANKMENT
A. Earth embankment is defined as embankment composed of suitable materials removed in
unclassified excavation and/or imported fill. The construction of embankment includes
preparing the area on which fill is to be placed and the depositing, conditioning, and compaction
of fill material.
B. General: Except as otherwise required by the plans, all embankment shall be constructed in
layers approximately parallel to the finished grade of the graded area, and each layer shall be
so constructed as to provide a uniform slope as shown on the grading plan. Embankments
shall be constructed to correspond to the general shape of the typical sections shown on the
plans, and each section of the embankment shall correspond to the detailed section or slopes
established by the drawings. After completion of the graded area, embankment shall be
continuously maintained to its finished section and grade until the project is accepted.
C. Preparation: Prior to placing any embankment, all preparatory operations will have been
completed on the excavation sources and areas over which the embankment is to be placed.
The subgrade shall be proof rolled to detect soft spots,which if exist, should be reworked.
Proof rolling shall be performed using a heavy pneumatc tired roller, loaded dump truck, or
similar piece of equipment weighing approximately 25 tons except as otherwise specified for
tree protection and areas inaccessible to vehicular compactors. Stump holes or other small
excavations in the limits of the embankments shall be backfilled with suitable material and
thoroughly tamped by approved methods before commencing embankment construction. The
surface of the ground, including plowed, loosened ground, or surfaces roughened by small
washes or otherwise, shall be restored to approximately its original slope by blading or other
methods, and,where indicated on the plans or required by the Owner, the ground surface, thus
prepared, shall be compacted by sprinkling and rolling.
P
D. Scarification: The surface of all areas and slopes over which fill is to be placed, other than rock,
shall be scarified to a depth of approximately six inches to provide a bond between the existing
surface and the proposed embankment. Scarification shall be accomplished by plowing,
discing, or other approved means. Prior to fill placement, the loosened material shall be
adjusted to the proper moisture content and recompacted to the density specified herein for fill.
02200-4
SECURITY & SITE LIGHTING
FORT WORTH BOTANIC GARDEN
Parks & Community Services Department
Section 02200—Earthwork(Cont'd)
E. Benching: Scarification is normally adequate for sloping surfaces. However, in certain cases
where fill is to be placed against hillsides or existing embankment with slopes greater than 4:1,
the Owner may direct the Contractor to key the fill material to the existing.slopes by benching.
A minimum of two feet normal to the slope shall be removed and recompacted to insure that the
new work is constructed on a firm foundation free of loose or disturbed material.
F. Depositing: Fill material shall be placed in horizontal layers or lifts, evenly spread, not to
exceed eight inches in loose depth before conditioning and compaction. Unless otherwise
permitted, each layer of fill material shall cover the length and width of the area to be filled and
shall be conditioned and compacted before the next higher layer of fill is placed. Adequate
drainage shall be maintained at all times.
G. Watering: At the time of compaction, the moisture content of fill material shall be such that the
specified compaction will be obtained, and the fill will be firm, hard, and unyielding. Fill material
which contains excessive moisture shall not be compacted until it is dry enough to obtain the
specified compaction.
H. Compacting: Each layer of earth fill shall be compacted by approved tamping or sheepsfoot
rollers, pneumatic tire rollers, or other mechanical means acceptable to the Owner. Hand-
directed compaction equipment shall be used in areas inaccessible to vehicular compactors.
I. Grading: Embankments shall be constructed in proper sequence and at proper densities for
their respective functions. All embankment serves in one capacity or another as subgrade (e.g.,
under topsoil, under concrete and asphalt pavement, under structures,etc.). Accordingly, the
upper layer of embankment shall be graded to within plus or minus 0.10 foot of proper subgrade
elevation prior to depositing topsoil,and prior to the construction of pavements, slabs, etc.
3.05 DENSITY CONTROL
A. Earth Embankment in General: Earth embankment shall be compacted in lifts at a minimum of
90 percent of Standard Density ASTM D698 with plus 4 percent or minus 2 percentage points of
optimum moisture content.
B. Earth Embankment Under Structures and Pavement: The top 6 inches of natural earth
comprising the subgrade for structural slabs or for areas of pavement shall be 95 percent to 98
percent of Standard Density ASTM D698 with the moisture content at minus 2 percent to plus 4
percent of optimum.
3.06 MOISTURE MAINTENANCE: The specified moisture content shall be maintained in all embankments
that are to function as subgrade for structures, areas of pavement, or for select embankment. After
completion of the embankment, the Contractor shall prevent excessive loss of moisture in the
embankment by sprinkling as required. Loss of moisture in excess of 2 percent below optimum in the
top 12 inches of the fill will require that the top 12 inches of the embankment be scarified,wetted, and
recompacted prior to placement of the structure, select fill or pavement. If desired, the Contractor may
place an asphalt membrane of emulsified or cutback asphalt over the completed embankment and thus
eliminate the sprinkling requirement.
3.08 TOPSOIL REPLACEMENT: Topsoil shall be carefully placed to avoid any displacement or damage to
the subgrade. If any of the subgrade is rutted, damaged or displaced it shall be restored prior to placing
topsoil. Topsoil shall be replaced as specified herein per Item 3.02.
