COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 912712005 - Ordinance No. 16618-09-2005
DATE: 9/27/2005 REFERENCE NO.: **C-21026 LOG NAME: 30SWRRHB LXXPT2
CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC HEARING: NO
SUBJECT: Adopt an Appropriation Ordinance and Authorize Execution of Contract with Jackson
Construction, Ltd., for Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Contract LXX, Part 2
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $309,350.00 from the Water & Sewer Operating Fund to the Sewer Capital
Project Fund;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Sewer
Capital Project Fund in the amount of $309,350.00, from available funds; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Jackson Construction, Ltd., in the amount of
$275,350.00 for Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Contract LXX(70), Part 2.
DISCUSSION:
On March 23, 2004, (M&C C-2000) the City Council authorized the execution of an engineering agreement
with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. In order to expedite construction, the project was divided into four
parts. Part 1 is under construction, Parts 3 and 4 will be advertised at future dates.
This project, Part 2, will provide for concrete encasement of a segment of sanitary sewer main 199 located
within a storm drain line underneath the runway of the Joint Reserve Base. At the time the sanitary sewer
main was installed, it was supported on concrete blocks and secured by steel straps that are now severely
deteriorated. The poor condition of the steel straps has caused shifting of the sewer main during heavy
rainfall events. In order to eliminate further movement and eventual collapse of the sewer main, it is
necessary to install concrete encasement to permanently secure the line in place.
BID ADVERTISEMENT: The project was advertised for bid in the Commercial Recorder on June 30 and July
7, 2005. On July 28, 2005, the following bids were received:

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 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.

A. It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth to comply with the requirements of the Asbestos
National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) found at 40 CFR
Part 61, Subpart M. This specification will establish procedures to be used by all
10127104 SC-49
PART D - SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Excavators in the removal and disposal of asbestos cement pipe (ACP) in compliance
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.
B. ACP is defined under NESHAP as a Category ll, 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
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 an
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
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. an

VENDOR COMPLLANCE TO STATE LAW
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to the award of contracts to
non-resident bidders. The law, 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 the order to obtain a comparable contract in
the state in which the non-resident's principle 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 contractor's to do so will automatically
disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in Section B.
A.
Non-resident vendors in
required to be
of the statute is attached.
Non-resident vendors in
(give state), our principal place of business, are
percent lower than resident bidders by state law. A copy
(give state), or principal place of business, are not
required to underbid resident bidders.
B. Our principal place of business or corporate offices are in the State of Texas.
