rr
C7-7 . 7 TIME OF COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION: The Contractor
shall commence the working operations within the time
specified in the Contract Documents and set forth in the Work ,.
Order. Failure to do so shall be considered by the Owner as
abandonment of the Contract by the Contractor and the Owner
may proceed as he sees fit.
The Contractor shall maintain a rate of progress such as will
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
extension of time as may be properly authorized by the Owner.
C7-7 . 8 EXTENSION OF TIME COMPLETION: The Contractor ' s request
for an extension of time of completion shall be considered
only when the request for such extension is submitted in
writing to the Engineer within seven days from and after the
time alleged cause of delay shall have occurred. Should an
extension of the time of completion be requested such request
will be forwarded to the City Council for approval
In adjusting the contract time for completion of work,
consideration will be given to unforseeable causes beyond the
control of and without the fault or negligence of the
Contractor, including but limited to acts of the public enemy,
acts of the Owner , fire, flood , tornadoes , epidemics ,
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
will not be considered. A request for extension of time due
to inability to obtain supplies and materials will be
considered only when a review of the Contractor ' s purchase
order dates and other pertinent data as requested by the
Engineer indicates that the Contractor has made a bonafide
attempt to secure delivery on schedule. This shall include --
efforts to obtain the supplies and materials from alternate
sources in case the first source cannot make delivery.
If satisfactory execution and completion of the contract �.
should require work and materials in greater amounts or
quantities than those set forth in the approved Contract
Documents, then the contract time may be increased by Change •
Order.
C7-7. 9 DELAYS: The Contractor shall receive no compensation
for delays or hindrances to the work, except when direct and
unavoidable extra cost to the Contractor is caused by the
failure of the City to provide information or material , if
C7-7 (4 )
- any , which is to be furnished by the City. When such extra
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
thereon by the Council shall be final and binding. If delay
is caused by specific orders given by the Engineers to stop
work, or by -the performance of extra work, or by the failure
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
the discharge of the contract.
C7-7 . 10 TIME OF COMPLETION: The time of completion is an
essential element of the contract. Each bidder shall indicate
in the appropriate place on the last page of the Proposal the
number of working days or calendar days that he will require
to fully complete this contract or the time of completion will
be specified by the City in the Proposal section of the
contract documents.
The number of days indicated shall be a realistic estimate of
the time required to complete the work covered by the specific
contract being bid upon. The amount of time so stated by the
successful bidder or the City will become the time of
completion specified in the Contract Documents.
For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted
after the time specified in the Contract Documents , or the
increased time granted by the Owner, or as automatically
increased by additional work or materials ordered after the
contract is signed, the sum per day given in the following
schedule, unless otherwise specified in other parts of the
Contract Documents , will be deducted from monies due the
Contractor , not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages
suffered by the Owner.
AMOUNT OF CONTRACT
Less than $ 5,000 inclusive $ 35.00
$ 5,001 to $ 15,000 inclusive $ 45.00
$ 15,001 to $ 25,000 inclusive $ 63.00

$ 100,001 to $ 500,000 inclusive $ 210.00
C7-7 (5)
$ 500, 001 to $1,000,000 inclusive $ 315.00
$1,000, 001 to $2,000,000 inclusive $ 420.00
$2,000,001 and over $ 630.00
The parties hereto understand and agree that any harm to the
City caused by the Contractor ' s delay in completing the work
hereunder in the time specified by the Contract Documents
would be incapable or very difficult of accurate estimation,

out above, is a reasonable forecast of just compensation due
the City for harm caused by any delay.

by any court , and will not be entitled to additional
compensation by virtue of such court order. Neither will he

further prosecution of the work to be unsatisfactory or
detrimental to the interest of the project. During temporary
suspension of work covered by this contract, for any reason,
the Owner will make no extra payment for stand-by time of
construction equipment and/or construction crews.
If it should become necessary to suspend work for an

such manner that they will not obstruct or impede the public
unnecessarily nor become damaged in any way, and he shall take
every precaution to prevent damage or deterioration of the
work performed; he shall provide suitable drainage about the

Should the Contractor not be able to complete a portion of the
project due to causes beyond the control of and without the
fault or negligence of the Contractor as set forth in
Paragraph C7-7. 8 EXTENSION OF THE TIME OF COMPLETION , and
should it be determined by mutual consent of the Contractor
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
C7-7 (6 )
., that construction may be resumed. Such reimbursement shall be
based on actual cost to the Contractor of moving the equipment
and no profit will be allowed.
No reimbursement shall be allowed if the equipment is moved to
another construction project for the City of Fort Worth. .
The Contractor shall not suspend work without written notice
from the Engineer and shall proceed with the work operations

months, the Contractor shall within seven days notify the City
in writing, giving a detailed statement of the efforts which
have been made and listing all necessary items of labor,
materials , and equipment not obtainable . If , after
investigations, the Owner finds that such conditions existing

assist the Contractor in procuring and making available the
- necessary labor, materials and equipment within thirty days ,
the Contractor may request the Owner to terminate the contract
and the Owner may comply with the request, and the termination
shall be conditioned and based upon a final settlement

D- 25 TRENCH PAVEMENT(PERMANENT) REPAIR (E2-19) FOR UTILITY CUTS
The unit price bid under the appropriate bid item of the proposal shall cover all cost for providing �►
pavement repair equal to or superior in composition, thickness, etc., to existing pavement as
detailed in the Public Works Department typical sections for Pavement and Trench Repair for
Utility Cuts, Figures 2000-1 through 2000-3. ,.
The results of the street cores th€.t were conducted on the project streets, to determine HMAC
depths on existing streets, are provided in these specifications and contract documents.
All required paving cuts shall be made with a concrete saw in a true and straight line on both
sides of the trench, a minimum of twelve (12) inches outside the trench walls. The trench shall be
backfilled and the top nine (9) inches shall be filled with required materials as shown on paving
details, compacted and level with the finished street surface. This finished grade shall be
maintained in a serviceable condition until the paving has been replaced. All residential
driveways shall be accessible at night and over weekends.
It has been determined by the Transportation and Public Works Department that the strip of
existing HMAC pavement between the existing gutter and the edge of the trench pavement repair
will not hold up if such strip of exist ng pavement is two (2) feet or less in width.
Therefore, at the locations in the project where the trench wall is three (3) feet or less from the lip ..
of the existing gutter, the Contractor shall be required to remove the existing paving to such
gutter. The pavement repair shall then be made from a minimum distance of twelve (12) inches
outside the trench wall nearest the center of the street to the gutter line.
The pavement shall be replaced within a maximum of five (5) working days, providing job
placement conditions will permit repaving. If paving conditions are not suitable for repaving, in
the opinion of the Owner, the repaving shall be done at the earliest possible date.
A permit must be obtained from the Department of Engineering Construction Services Section by
the Contractor in conformance witl Ordinance No. 3449 and/or Ordinance No. 792 to make utility `
cuts in the street. The Department of Engineering will inspect the paving repair after construction.
This permit requirement may be waived if work is being done under a Performance Bond and
inspected by the Department of Engineering.

m.
PART D - SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Im
with NESHAP. Nothing in this specification shall be construed to void any provision of a
contract or other law, ordinance, regulation or policy whose requirements are more
stringent.
tm
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
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. The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) defines friable as material, when dry, which 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 ,r
of Fort Worth that the Excavator is the Generator regardless of whether the pipe is friable
or not.
D. 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.
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 „Au,
Fort Worth assumes no responsibility for compliance programs, which are the
responsibility of the Excavator. (Copy of forms attached)
F. The removal and disposal of ACP shall be subsidiary to the cost of installing the new pipe
unless otherwise stated or indicated on the project plans or contract documents.
