Windsor Place to end of Road South.
The project includes the reconstruction of curb, pavement and driveway approaches and sidewalk
replacements. The drainage improvements consist of the construction of box culverts and curb inlets.
The Water Department has determined that water and sewer replacements are necessary which shall take
place prior to the street reconstruction.
The project was advertised for bid on February 3, 2005 and February 10, 2005 in the Commercial
Recorder. On March 17, 2005 the following bids were received:
Bidder Alternate No.1: CONC Alternate No. 2: HMAC
McClendon Construction Co., Inc. $1,124,637.25 $1,120,028.75
Stabile & Winn, Inc. $1,248,151.45 $1,208,347.59

included for associated construction inspection, testing, project management and survey costs. The

l
C7-7 . 7 TIME OF COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION: The Contractor

insure that the whole work will be performed and the premises
cleaned up in accordance with the Contract Documents and
within the time established in such documents and such

quarantine restrictions , strikes, freight embargoes , or delays
of sub-contractors due to such causes.
When the date of completion is based on a calendar day bid, a
request for extension of time because of inclement weather

Il compensation is claimed a written statement thereof shall be
presented by the Contractor to the Engineer and if by him
found correct shall be approved and referred by him to the
Council for final approval or disapproval ; and the action
l thereon by the Council shall be final and binding . If delay
is caused by specific orders given by the Engineers to stop
r work, or by the performance of extra work, or by the failure
I of the City to provide material or necessary instructions for
carrying on the work , then such delay will entitle the
Contractor to an equivalent extension of time, his application
for which shall , however , be subject to the approval of the
City Council , and no such extension of time shall release the
Contractor or the surety on his performance bond from all his
obligations hereunder which shall remain in full force until
I the discharge of the contract.

and the Engineer that a solution to allow construction to
proceed is not available within a reasonable period of time,
then the Contractor may be reimbursed for the cost of moving
his equipment off the job and returning the necessary
equipment to the job when it is determined by the Engineer

manhole walls and floor. The gun shall be capable of producing flows from a fine spray to
a solid stream. The equipment shall carry its own water tank, auxiliary engines, pumps,
and hydraulically driven hose reel.
Hydraulically Propelled Equipment shall be of a movable dam type and be constructed in
such a way that a portion of the dam may be collapsed at any time during the.cleaning
operation to protect against flooding of the sewer. The movable dam shall be equal in
diameter around the outer periphery to ensure removal of grease. If sewer cleaning balls
or. other equipment, which cannot be collapsed, is used, special precautions to prevent
flooding of the sewers and public or private property shall be taken. The flow of sewage
present in the sewer lines shall be utilized to provide necessary fluid for hydraulic cleaning
devices whenever possible.
2. CLEANING PROCEDURES: The designated sewer manholes shall be cleaned using
high-velocity jet equipment. The equipment shall be capable of removing dirt, grease,
rocks, sand, and other materials and obstructions from the sewer lines and manholes. If
cleaning of an entire section cannot be successfully performed from one manhole, the
equipment shall be set up on the other manhole and cleaning again attempted. If, again,
successful cleaning cannot be performed or equipment fails to traverse the entire
manhole section, it will be assumed that a major blockage exists, and the cleaning effort
shall be abandoned. When additional quantities of water from fire hydrants are necessary
to avoid delay in normal working procedures, the water shall be conserved and not used
unnecessarily. No fire hydrant shall be obstructed in case of a fire in the area served by
the hydrant. Before using any water from the City Water Distribution System, the
Contractor shall apply for and receive permission from the Water Department. The
Contractor shall be responsible for the water meter and related charges for the setup,
including the water usage bill. All expenses shall be considered incidental to cleaning.

I 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
I 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 ACP in compliance with
NESHAP. Nothing in this specification shall be construed to void any provision of a
I contract or other law, ordinance, regulation or policy whose requirements are more
l stringent.
I 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
I 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. EPA defines friable as material, when dry,
lwhich 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.
fD. 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
result.

PART D - SPECIAL CONDITIONS
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)
D-68 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION
PERMIT: As defined by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations, a
Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) General Construction Permit is required
for all construction activities that result in the disturbance of one to five acres (Small Construction
Activity) or five or more acres of total land (Large Construction Activity). The contractor is defined
as an "operator' by state regulations and is required to obtain a permit. Information concerning
the permit can be obtained through the Internet at http://www.tnrcc.state.tx.us/permitting/water
perm/wwperm/construct.html. Soil stabilization and structural practices have been selected and
designed in accordance with North Central Texas Council of Governments Best Management
Practices and Erosion Control Manual for Construction Activities (BMP Manual). This manual can
be obtained through the Internet at www.dfwstormwater.com/runoff.html. Not all of the structural
controls discussed in the BMP Manual will necessarily apply to this project. Best Management
Practices are construction management techniques that, if properly utilized, can minimize the
need for physical controls and possible reduce costs. The methods of control shall result in
minimum sediment retention of not less than 70%.
NOTICE OF INTENT (NOI): If the project will result in a total land disturbance equal to or greater
than 5 acres, the contractor shall sign at the pre-construction meeting a TCEQ Notice of Intent
(NOI) form prepared by the engineer. It serves as a notification to the TCEQ of construction
activity as well as a commitment that the contractor understands the requirements of the permit
for storm water discharges from construction activities and that measures will be taken to
implement and maintain storm water pollution prevention at the site. The NOI shall be submitted
to the TCEQ at least 48 hours prior to the contractor moving on site and shall include the required
$100 application fee.
The NOI shall be mailed to:
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Storm Water& General Permits Team; MC-228
P.O. Box 13087
Austin, TX 78711-3087
A copy of the NOI shall be sent to:

payment of the TCEQ required fee. A SWPPP that meets all TCEQ requirements prepared by
the Engineer shall be prepared and implemented at least 48 hours before the commencement of
construction activities. The SWPPP shall be incorporated into in the contract documents. The
contractor shall submit a schedule for implementation of the SWPPP. Deviations from the plan
must be submitted to the engineer for approval. The SWPPP is not warranted to meet all the
conditions of the permit since the actual construction activities may vary from those anticipated
during the preparation of the SWPPP. Modifications may be required to fully conform to the
requirements of the Permit. The contractor must keep a copy of the most current SWPPP at the
construction site. Any alterations to the SWPPP proposed by the contractor must be prepared
and submitted by the contractor to the engineer for review and approval. A Notice of Termination
I (NOT) form shall be submitted within 30 days after final stabilization has been achieved on all
portions of the site that is the responsibility of the permittee, or, when another permitted operator
assumes control over all areas of the site that have not been finally stabilized.

D-69 COORDINATION WITH THE CITY'S REPRESENTATIVE FOR
OPERATIONS OF EXISTING WATER SYSTEMS
It is the Contractor's responsibility to coordinate any event that will require connecting to or the
operation of an existing City water line system with the City's representative. The Contractor may
obtain a hydrant water meter from the Water Department for use during the life of named project.
In the event the Contractor requires that a water valve on an existing live system be turned off
and on to accommodate the construction of the project, the Contractor must coordinate this
activity through the appropriate City representative. The Contractor shall not operate water line
valves of existing water system. Failure to comply will render the Contractor in violation of Texas
Penal Code Title 7, Chapter 28.03 (Criminal Mischief) and the Contractor will be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law. In addition, the Contractor will assume all liabilities and responsibilities
as a result of these actions.
D-70 ADDITIONAL SUBMITTALS FOR CONTRACT AWARD
The City reserves the right to require any pre-qualified contractor who is the apparent low
bidder(s)for a project to submit such additional information as the City, in sole discretion may
require, including but not limited to manpower and equipment records, information about key
personnel to be assigned to the project, and construction schedule, to assist the City in
evaluating and assessing the ability of the apparent low bidder(s) to deliver a quality product and
successfully complete projects for the amount bid within the stipulated time frame. Based upon
the City's assessment of the submitted information, a recommendation regarding the award of a
contract will be made to the City Council. Failure to submit the additional information if requested
may be grounds for rejecting the apparent low bidder as non-responsive. Affected contractors will
be notified in writing of a recommendation to the City Council.
D-71 EARLY WARNING SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTION
Time is of the essence in the completion of this contract. In order to insure that the contractor is
responsive when notified of unsatisfactory performance and/or of failure to maintain the contract
schedule, the following process shall be applicable:
The work progress on all construction projects will be closely monitored. On a bi-monthly basis
the percentage of work completed will be compared to the percentage of time charged to the
contract. If the amount of work performed by the contractor is less than the percentage of time
allowed by 20% or more (example: 10% of the work completed in 30% of the stated contract time
as may be amended by change order), the following proactive measures will be taken:
1. A letter will be mailed to the contractor by certified mail, return receipt requested
demanding that, within 10 days from the date that the letter is received, it provide
sufficient equipment, materials and labor to ensure completion of the work within the
contract time. In the event the contractor receives such a letter, the contractor shall
provide to the City an updated schedule showing how the project will be completed
within the contract time.
2. The Project Manager and the Directors of the Department of Engineering, Water
Department, and Department of Transportation and Public Works will be made aware
of the situation. If necessary, the City Manager's Office and the appropriate city
council members may also be informed.

construction sites on days designated as "AIR POLLUTION WATCH DAYS". Typically, the
OZONE SEASON, within the Metroplex area, runs from May 1, through OCTOBER 31, with 6:00
a.m. - 10:00 a.m. being critical BECAUSE EMISSIONS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD HAVE
ENOUGH TIME TO BAKE IN THE HOT ATMOSPHERE THAT LEADS TO EARLY AFTERNOON
OZONE FORMATION. .
IThe Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), in coordination with the National
Weather Service, will issue the Air Pollution Watch by 3:00 p.m. on the afternoon prior to the
I WATCH day. On designated Air-Pollution Watch Days, the Contractor shall bear the
responsibility of being aware that such days have been designated Air Pollution Watch Days and
as such shall not begin work until 10:00 a.m. whenever construction phasing requires the use of
motorized 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
Iemulsions, or alternative fuels such as CNG.
If the Contractor is unable to perform continuous work for a period of at least seven hours
1 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.
D-73 FEE FOR STREET USE PERMITS AND RE-INSPECTIONS
A fee for street use permits is in effect. In addition, a separate fee for re-inspections for parkway
1 construction, such as driveways, sidewalks, etc., will be required. The fees are as follows:

application.
2. A re-inspection fee of $25.00 will be assessed when work for which an inspection
i called for is incomplete. Payment is due prior to the City performing re-inspection.
1 Payment by the contractor for all street use permits and re-inspections shall be considered
subsidiary to the contract cost and no additional compensation shall be made.

DA-71 H.M.A.C.TESTING PROCEDURES
The contractor is required to submit a Mix Design for both Type "B" and "D" asphalt that will be used
q g Yp p
for each project. This should be submitted at the Pre-Construction Conference. This design shall not
be more than two (2) years old. Upon submittal of the design mix a Marshal (Proctor) will be
calculated, if one has not been previously calculated, for the use during density testing. For type "B"
asphalt a maximum of 20% rap may be used. No Rap may be used in type "D"
IUpon approval of an asphalt mix design and the calculation of the Marshal (proctor) the contractor is
approved for placement of the asphalt. The contractor shall contact the City Laboratory, through the
I inspector, at least 24 hours in advance of the asphalt placement to schedule a technician to assist in
the monitoring of the number of passes by a roller to establish a rolling pattern that will provide the
required densities. The required Density for Type "B" and for Type "D" asphalt will be 91% of the
calculated Marshal (proctor). A Troxler Thin Layer Gauge will be used for all asphalt testing.
fl
After a rolling pattern is established, densities should be taken at locations not more than 300 feet
apart. The above requirement applies to both Type "B" and "D" asphalt. Densities on type "B" must
be done before Type "D" asphalt is applied.
Cores to determine thickness of Type "B" asphalt must be taken before Type "D" asphalt is applied.
I Upon completion of the application of Type "D" asphalt additional cores must be taken to determine
the applied thickness.

records or files in its possession that will substantiate the actual work performed by an MBE and/or
WBE. The misrepresentation of acts (other than a negligent misrepresentation) and/or the
commission fraud by the Contractor will be grounds for termination of the contract and/or initiating
action under appropriate federal, state, or local laws or ordinances relating to false statement.
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 not less than three 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 to demonstrate"good faith effort",

subcontractors prior to issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Contractor shall also provide monthly
reports on utilization of the subcontractors to the City's MMBE office.
The Contractor may count first and second tier subcontractors and/or suppliers toward meeting the
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(NCTRCA) or Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Highway Division and must be located in the nine(9)
county marketplace or currently doing business in the marketplace at time of bid. The Contractor
shall contact all such M/WBE subcontractors or suppliers prior to listing them on the M/WBE
utilization or good faith effort forms as applicable. Failure to contact the listed M/WBE
subcontractor or supplier prior to bid opening may result in the rejection of bid as non-responsive.
Whenever a change order affects the work of an M/WBE subcontractor or supplier, the M/WBE
shall be given an opportunity to perform the work. Whenever a change order exceeds 10% 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 contract shall:
1. Make no unjustified changes or deletions in its M/WBE participation commitments
submitted with or subsequent to the bid, and,
2. If substantial subcontracting and/or substantial supplier opportunities arise during the
term of the contract which the Contractor had represented he would perform with his-
forces, the Contractor shall notify the City before subcontracts or purchase orders are
i
let, and shall be required to comply with modifications to goals as determined by the
City, and,
3. Submit a REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF CHANGE FORM, if the Contractor desires
I to change or delete any of the M/WBE subcontractors or suppliers. Justification for
change may be granted for the following:
a. Failure of Subcontractor to provide evidence of coverage by Worker's
l Compensation Insurance.
b. Failure of Subcontractor to provide required general liability of other insurance.
C. Failure of Subcontractor to execute a standard subcontract form in the amount
of the proposal used by the Contractor in preparing his M/WBE Participation plan.
d. Default by the M/WBE subcontractor or supplier in the performance of the
subcontractor.

(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
I in a manner that will minimize the amount of sediment entering streams.
l
2. Frequent fordings of live streams will not be permitted; therefore, temporary
bridges or other structures shall be used wherever an appreciable number of
I stream crossing are necessary. Unless otherwise approved in writing by the
Engineer, mechanized equipment shall not be operated in live streams.
3. When work areas or material sources are located in or adjacent to live streams,
v 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.
4. 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.
5. The Contractor shall take sufficient precautions to prevent pollution of streams,
lakes and reservoirs with fuels, oils, bitumens, calcium chloride or other harmful
I 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.
IE. 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
I 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.
I .
I F. 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.

POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE NOTICE
TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT OF 2002
You are hereby notified that pursuant to the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the
"Act') effective November 26, 2002, we are making available to you coverage for losses
arising out of certain acts of international terrorism. Terrorism is defined as any act
certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in concurrence with the Secretary of State and
the Attorney General of the United States, to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or
an act that is dangerous to human life, property or infrastructure; to have resulted in
damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of an air carrier
or vessel or the premises of a United States Mission; and to have been committed by an
individual or individuals acting on behalf of any foreign person or foreign interest, as part
of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the
policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion. Coverage for
acts of terrorism is already included in the captioned Surety Bond.
You should know that, effective November 26, 2002, any losses caused by acts of
terrorism covered by your Surety Bond will be partially reimbursed by the United States
under the formula set forth in the Act. Under this formula, the United States of America
pays 90% of covered terrorism losses that exceed the statutorily established deductible to
be paid by the insurance company providing the coverage. The portion of your premium
that is attributable to coverage for such acts of terrorism is zero, because we could not
distinguish (and separately charge for) acts of terrorism from other causes of loss when
we calculated your premium.
If you have any questions about this notice,please contact your agent or broker.
