This law provides that,in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder,non-resident bidders(our-of-state contractors whose corporate office 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 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.

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 •• 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 10127104 SC-51 .o PART D - SPECIAL CONDITIONS contract or other law, ordinance, regulation or policy whose requirements are more stringent. •• B. ACP is defined under NESHAP as a Category 11, 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 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. ..

GENERAL .. 1. Scope. This Section governs all work, materials and testing required for the pressure grouting of manhole defects. Manholes or sections of manholes with active leaks shall be repaired as indicated in the Manhole Rehabilitation Schedule. .. 11102104 ASC-4 PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS 2. Description. The Contractor shall be responsible for the furnishing of all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, and testing required for the completion of pressure grouting of manhole defects in accordance with the Contract Documents. 3. Manufacturer's Recommendations. Materials, additives, mixture ratios, and procedures utilized for the grouting process shall be in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. + I 4. Manholes. Manholes to be grouted are of brick, concrete, or fiberglass construction. k. MATERIALS 1. Grouting Materials: a. Urethane Gel Grout: Urethane gel grout, such as Scotch-Seal 5610 gel or equal shall be a hydrophilic polymer. The chemical shall be mixed within the range of from 8 to 10 parts of water and shall contain a reinforcing agent supplied by the same manufacturer. The material shall gel and cure to a tough flexible elastomeric condition. When wet, the gel shall exhibit strength properties of at least 25 psi tensile at 150 percent elongation. The material shall not change in linear dimension more than eight percent when subjected + to wet and dry cycles. b. The chemical grout shall be applied so as to have the grout material flow freely into the defects. To avoid any wastage of the material flowing through the defects, a gel control agent may be added. The following properties shall be exhibited by the grout: r 1) Documented service of satisfactory performance in similar usage. 2) Controllable reaction times and shrinkage through the use of + chemicals supplied by the same manufacturer. The minimum gel set time shall be established so that adequate grout travel is achieved. 3) Resistance to chemicals; resistant to most organic solvents, mild + acids and alkali. 4) Compressive recovery return to original shape after repeated deformation. 5) The chemical shall be essentially non-toxic in a cured form. 6) Sealing material shall not be rigid or brittle when subjected to dry atmosphere. The material shall be able to withstand freeze/thaw and moving load conditions. 7) Sealing material shall be noncorrosive. a. A reinforcing agent such as Scotch-Seal Brand 5612 reinforcing agent or equivalent shall be utilized in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. Any 5612 reinforcing agent which contains lumps must i 11102104 ASC-5 PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS be discarded. Care must be taken to be sure that the pH of the water in the tank is from 5 to 9. As a precaution against the possibility of the pH being outside this range, take a small amount of water from the tank to which Gel Reinforcing Agent 5612 is to be added. Add a few drops of 5612 to this test sample. Scotch-Seal Brand Gel Reinforcing Agent 5612 should disperse readily. If precipitation occurs, drain the tank and retest. Repeat as .. necessary until dispersion occurs. If dispersion does not occur, do not use the water source. b. A filler material such as Celite 292 (diatomaceous earth) from Johns Mansville or equivalent shall be utilized. The addition of the filler material shall not exceed the quantity specified by the manufacturer, and continuous agitation of the water side of the mixture is required. The filler material may also be utilized as a reinforcing agent in accordance with the urethane gel grout manufacturer's recommendations. 1. Additives: Grout additions may be utilized for catalyzing the gel reaction, inhibiting the gel reaction, buffering the solution, lowering the freezing temperature of the solution, acting as a filler, providing strength or for inhibition of root growth. 2. Root Control: A root inhibiting chemical such as dichlobenil shall be added to the chemical grout mixture at a safe level of concentration and shall have the ability to remain active within the grout for a minimum of 12 months. 3. Material Identification: Contractor shall completely identify the types of grout, mortar, sealant, and/or root control chemicals used and provide case histories of successful use or defend the choice of grouting materials based on chemical and physical properties, ease of application, and expected performance, to the satisfaction of the _ Engineer. 4. Mixing and Handling: Mixing and handling of chemical grout and forming constituents, which may be toxic under certain conditions shall be in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer and in such a manner as to minimize hazard to personnel. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to provide appropriate protective measures to ensure that chemicals or gels produced by the chemicals are under control at all times and are not available to unauthorized personnel or animals. All equipment shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. Only personnel thoroughly familiar with the handling of the grout material and additives shall perform the grouting operations. C. EXECUTION 1. General. Manhole grouting shall not be performed until sealing of manhole frame and grade adjustments, partial manhole replacement, or manhole repairs are complete. 2. Preliminary Repairs: 11102104 AS C-6 PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS a. Seal all unsealed lifting holes, unsealed step holes, voids larger than approximately one-half (1/2) inch in thickness. All cracked or deteriorated material shall be removed from the area to be patched and replaced with Octocrete, as manufactured by IPS Systems, Inc, or equal, in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. b.
