VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
Section 2252.002,Texas Government Code,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.
A. Non-resident 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.
Non-resident vendors in (give state),our principal place of business,are not required
to underbid resident bidders.
B. Our principal place of business or corporate office is in the State of Texas.

PART 3-EXECUTION
3.0.1 SITE PREPARATION: In general, "site preparation," as specified in Section 02200, 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 (6")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.
D. 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. Sutplus 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 02200.All such cost for removal shall be considered as
incorporated into Earthwork costs
C. Excavation in Rock: The use of explosives will not be permitted. Unless otherwise
indicated on the plans,excavation in solid rock shall exiend six inches (6") below
required subgrade elevation for the entire width of the area under construction and shall w
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 twenty five
(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.
EARTHWORK
02300
-4-
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 (6')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.
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(2')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(8") 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 ninety percent(90%)of Standard Density ASTM D698 with plus four
percent(4%) or minus two percent(2%)percentage points of optimum moisture
content.
B. Earth Embankment Under Structures and Pavement: The top six (6") inches of natural
earth comprising the subgrade for structural slabs or for areas of pavement shall be
ninety five percent(95%)to ninety eight percent(98%) of Standard Density ASTM
EARTHWORK
02300
-5-
D698 with the moisture content at minus two percent(2%)to plus four percent(4%)of
optimum moisture content.
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 two
percent(2%)below optimum in the top twelve inches(12")of the fill will require that the top
twelve inches(12')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.

A. The Contractor shall perform all excavation to the depth indicated in these
specifications and plans. All excavated material not required for fill or backfill
shall be removed from the site. The banks of trenches shall be kept as nearly
vertical as practicable. Trenches shall be wide enough to permit proper placing
of pipe. Where rock excavation is required, or where stones are encountered in
the bottom of the trench, the rock or stones shall be removed to a depth of four
(4) inches minimum below the trench depth indicated. The over-depth rock
excavation and all excess trench excavation shall be backfilled with loose, moist
earth or sand, thoroughly compacted. Whenever soil, which is wet or otherwise
incapable of supporting the pipe is encountered in the trench bottom, such soil
shall be removed to a depth and length required and the trench backfilled to
trench bottom grade as hereinafter specified, with coarse sand, fine gravel or
other suitable material.
B. Bottom of trench grade shall be continued past ground surface deviations to
avoid air pockets and low collection points in line. The minimum cover
specifications shall govern regardless of variations in.ground surface profile and
occasional deeper excavation required at banks and other field conditions.
Excavation shall be such that a uniform trench grade variation will occur in all
cases where variations are necessary. In no case shall the angle of deflection
from one pipe length to another exceed 5 degrees.
C. Trench excavation shall consist of the satisfactory removal and disposition of all
materials, and shall include all shoring and sheeting required by state and local mm,
regulations to protect the excavation and to safeguard employees.
D. During excavation, materials suitable for backfilling shall be stockpiled in an
orderly manner a sufficient distance back from edge of trenches to avoid
overloading and prevent slides or cave-ins. No excavated materials shall be
placed within or permitted to fall upon roadways.
E. The trenches shall be carefully backfilled with the excavated materials approved
for backfilling, consisting or earth, loam, sandy clay, sand, or other approved
materials, free from large clods of earth or stone. Rock, broken concrete or
pavements and large boulders shall not be used as backfill material. The backfill
shall be thoroughly compacted and evened off with the adjacent soil level. Any
materials not suitable for backfill shall be removed from the site and disposed of.
F. Select fill dirt or sand shall be used if soil conditions are rocky. In rocky areas
the trenching depth shall be four inches below normal trench depths to allow for _.
this bedding. The fill or dirt or sand shall be used in filling four inches above the
pipe or wires. The remainder of the backfill shall contain no lumps or rocks
larger than one inch. The.top six inches of backfill shall be free of rocks, subsoil
or trash.
G. Backfill shall be placed in layers; the thickness of the layers shall depend on the
nature of the material and the method of compaction used. Compaction shall be
05/21/01 02810- 12 010739010
z -
accomplished in such a manner as to assure that there will be no future
subsidence.
H. Any trenches improperly backfilled, or where settlement occurs, shall be
reopened to the depth required for compaction, then filled and compacted with
the surface restored to the required grade and left in a completed surface
- condition as described above.
I. All excavation and backfill shall be unclassified and covered in the base bid. No
additional charges will be allowed for rock encountered.
3.12 LEAK TEST
A. When the main line or sections of the main line, laterals, swing joints and valves
have been installed, the system (or section)will be thoroughly flushed. The
system (or section) will then be pressurized for 8 hours at the operating
pressure.
B. All lateral lines, from the control valve to the spray head, shall be tested, for an
operating period of 8 hours by capping the pipe at the sprinkler head and
pressurizing the pipe.
C. Any leakage found will be repaired and retested for another 8-hour period prior
- to backfilling.
3.13 CLEANING AND FLUSHING SYSTEM
After pipe, fittings, and valves have been installed and connections made to the water
source, flush pipes several times until free of all rocks, dirt, trash, pipe shavings or
debris before installing heads. After the pipe has been thoroughly flushed, start
installing the heads with the water running, beginning with the one nearest the valve and
working toward the ends of the laterals forcing the water and any debris left in the pipe
out the last head connection. After the heads have been installed the system is to be
operated several times before final inspection. The heads shall also be cleaned or
replaced if necessary before final inspection.
3.14 PLANT MATERIALS
Where it is necessary to excavate adjacent to plant materials, the Contractor shall use
all possible care to avoid injury to plants and plant roots. Excavation in areas where two
(2) inch and larger roots occur shall be done by hand. All roots two (2) inches and
larger in diameter, except directly in the path of pipe or conduit, shall be tunneled under
and shall be heavily wrapped with burlap to prevent scarring or excessive drying.
Where a trencher is run close to plants having roots smaller than two (2) inches in
diameter, the wall of the trench adjacent to the tree shall be hand trimmed, making
clean cuts through. Roots one (1) inch and larger in diameter shall be painted with two
coats of Tree Seal, or equal. Trenches adjacent to plant should be closed within twenty-
four(24) hours; and where this is not possible, the side of the trench adjacent to the
plant shall be kept shaded with burlap or canvas. No trenching shall occur within 8' of
05/21/01 02810- 13 010739010

A. Expansion Joints: Expansion joint materials shall be installed perpendicular to
the surface. The bottom edge of the material shall extend to or slightly below the
bottom edge of the slab and the top edge shall be held approximately 1/2 inch
below the surface of the slab. The edge of joints shall be tooled with an edging
tool having a 1/2 inch radius.
B. Contraction Joints: Contraction joints shall be 1/4 inch wide by 3/4 inch deep,
tooled joints placed on siyc foot centers,unless otherwise indicated. Contraction
joints will not be required to be sealed. Sawed joints may be allowed only if
specifically approved by the Engineer. Joints will be sawed as soon as sawing
can be performed without stripping aggregate from the concrete, generally within
-, twelve to twenty-four hours after placement, and they shall be completed before
uncontrolled cracking of the pavement takes place.
C. Construction Joints: Construction joints shall be installed in all concrete work at
the locations shown on the Plans. Construction joints formed at the close of each
day's work shall be located at any of the control joints designated on the Plans.
Joints may be constructed by use of wood or preformed metal bulkheads set true
to the section of the finished concrete and cleaned and oiled. Surplus concrete on
the subgrade shall be removed before resuming boncreting operations.
3.03 PLACING CONCRETE
Placement of Concrete: The concrete shall be rapidly deposited on the subgrade
immediately after mixing is completed. Subgrade and forms shall be dampened prior to
placement of the concrete. The concrete shall be transported, placed and spread in such a
CAST-RJ-PLACE CONCRETE
03300

manner as to prevent segregation of the aggregate or an excess amount of water and fine
materials to be brought to.the surface. No concrete shall be placed when the air
temperature is less than forty degrees Fahrenheit nor when the temperature of the
concrete is eighty-five degrees Fahrenheit or higher,without approval of Construction
Inspector.
Placement shall be carried on at such a rate that the concrete is at all times plastic and
flows readily into the space between the bars. No concrete that has partially hardened or
that has been contaminated by foreign material shall be deposited in the work nor shall
retempered concrete be used. Each section of pavement between expansion and
construction joints shall be placed monolithically.
All concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by suitable means during the operation of
placing and shall be thoroughly worked around reinforcement and embedded fixtures and
into the corners of the forms. Special care shall be taken to prevent voids and
honeycombing. The concrete shall then be struck off and bull-floated to the grade shown
on the Plans before bleed water has an opportunity to collect on the surface.
3.04 FINISHING
All concrete shall be finished by experienced, qualified concrete finishers. All concrete
shall have a neat,rounded edge. Edging and jointing(radius described on Plans)shall be
accomplished with care so as not to leave deep impressions in the concrete surface
adjacent to.edges and joints. After the concrete has been floated and has set sufficiently
to support the weight of cement finishers,a smooth steel trowel will be used to produce
hard surface. The entire surface will then be brushed with a stiff bristle broom to produce
a uniform textured finish. All edges and sides of concrete exposed to view shall be free
of warp and blemishes with a uniform texture and smoothness as described in Plans.
3.05 CURING
Curing Compound: Immediately after the finishing operations,the concrete shall be
completely covered with a curing compound. The concrete surface shall be kept moist
between finishing operations and the application of the curing compound. The curing
compound shall be applied under pressure by means of a spray nozzle at a rate not to
exceed 200 square feet per gallon. A minimum of 72 hours curing time will be required.
