C2-2.~ PROPOSAL FORM: The Owner will furnish bidders with
proposal form, which will contain an itemized list of the
items of work to be done or materials to be furnished and upon
which bid prices are requested. The Proposal form will state
the Bidder's general understanding of the project to be
completed, provide a space for furnishing the amount of bid
security, and state the basis for entering into a formal
contract. The Owner will furnish forms for the Bidder's
"Experience Record," "Equipment Schedule," and "Financial
Statement," all of which must be properly executed and filed
with the Director of the City Water Department one week prior
to the hour for opening of bids.
The financial statement required shall have been prepared by
an independent certified public accountant or an independent
pQblic accountant holding a valid permit issued by an
appropriate state licensing agency, and shall have beeq so
prepared as to reflect the current financial status. This
statement must be current and not more than one (1) year old.
In the case that a bidding date falls within the time a new
statement is being prepared, the previous statement shall be
updated by proper verification. Liquid assets in the amount
of ten (10%) percent of the estimated project cost will be
required.
For an experience record to be considered to be acceptable for
a given project, it must reflect the experience of the firm
seeking qualification in work of both the same nat~re and
magnitude as that of the project for which bids are to be
received, and such experience must have been on projects
completed not more than five (5) years prior to the date on
which are to be received. The Director of the Water
department shall be sole judge as to the acceptability of
experience for qualification to bid on any Fort Worth Water
Department project.
The prospective bidder shall schedule the equipment he has
available for the project and state that he will rent such
additional equipment as may be required to complete the
project on which he submits a bid.
C2-2.2 INTERPRETATION OF QUANTITIES: The quantities of work
and materials to be furnished as may be listed in the proposal
C2-2(1)
forms or other parts of the Contract Documents will be
considered as approximate onl y and will be used for the
purpose of comparing bids on a uniform basis. Payment will be
made to the Contractor for onli the actual quantities of work
performed or materials furnished in strict accordance with the
Contract Documents and Plans. The quantities of work to be
performed and materials to be furnished may be increased or
decreased as hereinafter provided, without in any way
invalidating the unit prices bid or any other requirements _ of
the Contract Documents.
C2-2.3 EXAMINATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND SITE OF PROJECT:
Bidders are advised that the Contract Documents on file with
the Owner shall constitute all of the information which the
Owner will furnish. All additional information and data which
the owner will supply after promulgation of the formal
contract documents shall be issued in the form of written
addenda and shall become part of the Contract Documents just
as though such addenda were actually written into the original
Contract Documents.
Bidders are required, prior to the filing of proposal, to read
and become familiar with the Contract Documents, to visit the
site of the project and examine car e fully all local
conditions, to inform themselves by their own independent
research and investigations, tests, boring, and by such other
means as may be necessary to gain a complet e knowledge of the
conditions which will be encountered during the construction
of the project. They must judge for themselves the
difficulties of the work and all attending circumstances
affecting the cost of doing the work or th e time requi~ed for
its completion, and obtain all information required to make an
intelligent proposal. No information given by the Own e r or
any representative of the Owner other than that contained in
the Contract Documents and officially promulgated addenda
thereto, shall be binding upon the Owner. Bidders shall rely
exclusively and solely upon their own estimates,
investigation, research, tests, explorations, and other data
which are necessary for full and complete information upon
which the proposal is to be based. It is mutually agreed that
the submission of a proposal is prima-facie evidence that the
bidder has made the investigations, examinations and tests
herein required. Claims for additional compensation due to
variations between conditions actually encountered in
construction and as indicated in the Contract Documents will
not be allowed.
The logs of Soil Boring~, if any, showing on the plans are for
general information only and may not be correct. Neither the
C2-2(2)
J

Proposal on the form furnished by the Owner. All blank spaces
applicable to the project contained in the form shall be
correctly filled in and the Bidder shall state the prices,
written in ink in both words and numerals, for which he
proposes to do the work contemplated or furnishe the materials
required. All such prices shall be written legibly. In case
of discrepancy between the price written in words and the
price written in numerals, the price most advantageous to the
City shall govern.
If a proposal is submitted by an individual, his or her name
must be signed by him (her) or his (her) duly authorized agent.
If a proposal is submitted by a firm, association, or
partnership, the name and address of each member must be
given, and the proposal must be signed by a member of the

C2-2.5 REJECTION OF PROPOSALS: Proposals may be rejected if
they show any alteration of words or figures, additions not
called for, conditional or uncalled for alternate bids,
incomplete bids, erasures, or irregularities of any kind, or
contain unbalance value of any items. Proposal tendered or
delivered after the official time designated for receipt of
proposal shall be returned to the Bidder unopened.
C2-2.6 BID SECURITY: No proposal will be considered unless it
is accompanied by a "Proposal Security" of the character and
in the amount indicated in the "Notice to Bidders" and the

evidence of good faith on the part of the Bidder, and by way
of a guaranty that if awarded the contract, the Bidder will
within the required time execute a formal contract and furnish
the required performance and other bonds. The bid security of

proposal shall be in a sealed envelope plainly marked with the
word "PROPOSAL," and the name or description of the project as
designated in the "Notice to Bidders." The envelope shall be
addressed to the City Manager, City Hall, Fort Worth, Texas.

I
Owner reserves the right to waive any and all irregularities

defective or unauthorized work shall not constitute acceptance
of such works.
CS-5.11 SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS OR EQUIPMENT: If the
Specifications, law, ordinance, codes or regulations permit
Contractor to furnish or use a substitute that is equal to any
material or equipment specified, and if Contractor wishes to
furnish or use a proposed substitute, he shall, prior to the

existing underground utilities. The location of many gas
mains, water mains, conduits, sewer lines and service lines
for all utilities, etc., is unknown to the Owner, and the
Owner assumes no responsibility for failure to show any or all
such structures and utilities on the plans or to show them in
their exact location. It is mutually agreed that such failure
will not be considered sufficient basis for claims for
additional compensation for Extra Work or for increasing the
pay quantities in any manner whatsoever, unless an obstruction
encountered is such as to necessitate changes in the lines and
grades of considerable magnitude or requires the building of
special works, provision for which is not made in the Contract
Documents, iri which case the provision in these Contract
Documents for Extra Work shall apply.
It shall be the Contractors responsibility to verify locations
of adjacent and/or conflicting utilities sufficiently in
advance of construction in order that he may negotiate such
local adjustments as necessary in the construction process to
provide adequate clearances. The Contractor shall take all
necessary precautions in order to protect all existing

fifty (50%) percent of the value embraced in the contract. If
the Contractor sublets any part of the w9rk to be done under
these Contract Documents, he will not under any circumstances
be relieved of the responsibility and obligation assumed under
these Contract Documents. All transactions of the Engineer
will be with the Contractor. Subcontractors will be
considered only in the capacity of employees or workmen of the
Contractor and shall be subject to the same requirements as to
character and competency. The Owner will not recognize any
subcontractor on the work. The Contractor shall at all times;
when the work is in operation, be represented either in person

Owner be revoked and annulled, unless the Sureties shall
successfully complete said contract, and in the event of any
such revocation or annulment, any monies due or to become due

impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual
damages.
C7-7.3 PROSECUTION OF THE WORK: Prior to beginning any
construction operation, the Contractor shall submit to the
Engineer in five or more copies, if requested by the Engineer,
a progress schedule preferably in chart or diagram form, or a

shall not relieve the Contractor from the full responsibility
of the complete performance of the Contract.
The contract time may be changed only as set fo~th ih Section
C7-7.8 "Extension of Time of Completion" of this Agreement,
and a progress schedule shall not constitute a change in the
contract time.
C7-7.4 LIMITATIONS OF OPERATIONS: The working operations
shall at all times be conducted by the Contractor so as to
create a minimum amount of inconvenience to ~he public. At
any time when, in the judgment of the Engineer, the Contractor

portion of a street or public way greater than is necessary
for the proper execution of the work, the Engineer may require
the Contractor tb finish the s~ction on which operations are
in progress before the work is commenced on any additional
section or street.

superintendents, foremen, and workmen who are careful,
competent, and fully qualified to perform the duties or tasks
assigned to them, and the Engineer may demand and secure the
summary dismissal of any person or persons employed by the
Contractor in or about or on the work who, in the opinion of
the Owner, shall misconduct himself or be found to be

C7-7 (2)
-
-
-
-
-
otherwise objectionable or neglect f ul in the proper
performance of his or their duties, or who neglects or r e fuses
to comply with or carry out the directions of the Owner, and
such person or persons shall not be employed again thereon
without written consent of the Engineer.
All workmen shall have sufficient skill, ability, and
experience to properly perform the work assigned to them and
operate any equipment necessary to properly carry out the
performance of the assigned duties.
The Contractor shall furnish and maintain on the work all such
equipment as is consid~red to be necessary for prosecution of
the work in an acceptable manner and at a satisfactory rate of
progress. All equipment, tools, and machinery used for
handling materials and executing any part of the work shall be
subject to the approval of the Engineer and shall be
maintained in a satisfactory, saf e and efficient working
condition. Equipment on any portion of the work shall be such
that no injury to the work, workmen or adjacent property will
result from its use.
C7-7.6 WORK SCHEDULE: Elapsed working days shall be computed
starting with the first day of work compl e ted as defined in
Cl-1.23 "WORKING DAY" or the date stipulated in the "WORK
ORDER" for beginning work, whichever comes first.
Nothing in thes e Contract Documents shall be construed as
prohibiting the Contractor from working on Saturday, Sunday or
Legal Holidays, providing that the following requireme nts are
met:
a. A request to work on a specific Saturday, Sunday or
Legal Holiday must be made to the Engineer no later
than the proceeding Thursday.
b. Any work to be done on the project on such a
specific Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday must be,
in the opinion of the Engineer, essential to the
timely completion of the project.
The Engineer's decision shall be final in response to such a
request for approval to work on a specific Saturday, Sunday or
Legal Holiday, and no extra compensation shall be allowed to
the Contractor for any work performed on such a specific
Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday.
Calendar Days shall be defined in Cl-1.24 and the Contractor
may work as he so desires.
C7-7 (3)
C7-7.7 TIME OF COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION: The Contractor
shall commence the working operations within the time
specified in the Contract Documents and s e t 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 compl e tion 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 hav e occurred. Should an
extension of the time of completion be r e quested 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 d e lays
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 d ue
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 b y 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 th e reof 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
increase~ by additional work or materials oidered 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 .

The parties hereto understand and agree that any harm to the
City caused by the Contractor's delay in completing the wo r k
hereunder in the time specified by the Contract Documents
would be incapable or very difficult of accurate estimation,
and that the "Amount of Liquidated Damages Per Day", as set
out above, is a reasonable forecast of just compensation due
the City for harm caused by any delay.
C7-7.ll SUSPENSION BY COURT ORDER: The Contractor sha l l
suspend operations on such part or parts of the work ordered
by any court, and will not be entitled to additional
compensation by virtue of such court order. Neither will he

Court Order. Neither will the Owner b e liable to the
Contractor by virtue of any Court Order or action for which
the Owner is not solely responsible.
C7-7.12 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION: The Owner shall have the right
to suspend the work operation wholly or in part for such
period or periods of time as he may de e m necessary due to
unsuitable weather conditions or any other unfavorable
conditions which in the opinion of the Owner or Engineer cause
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
indefinite period, the Contractor shall store all materials in
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
work, and erect temporary structures where necessary.
Should the Contractor not be able to complete a portion of the
project due to causes beyond the ~ontrol 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 Contrac t or
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 Eogineer
C7-7 (6)
that construction may be r2sumed. Such reimburseme nt shall be
based on actual cost to the Contractor of moving th e equipment
and no profit will be allowed.
No reimbursement shall be allowed if the equipment is moved to
another construction p r oject for the City of Fort ~orth.
The Contractor ahall not suspend work without written notice
from the Engineer and shall proceed with the work operations
promptly when notified by the Engineer to so resume
operations.
C7-7.13 TERMINATION OF CONTRACT DUE TO NATIONAL EMERGENCY:
Whenever, because of National Emergency, so declared by the
President of the United States or other lawful authority, it
becom e s impossible for the Contractor to obtain all of the
necessary labor, materials, and equipment for the prosecution
of the work with reasonable continuity for a period of two
months, the Contractor shall within seven days notify the City
in writing : giving a detailed statement of th e e fforts which
hav e been made and listing all nec e ssary it e ms of labor,
materials, and equipment not obtainable. If, after
investigations, the Owner finds that such conditions e xisting
and that the inability of the Contractor to proceed is not
attiibutable in whole or in part to the fault or neglect of
the Contract, then if the Owner cannot after reasonable effort
assist the Contractor in procuring and making available the
necessary labor, materials and equipment within thirty days,
the Contractor may request the Owner to terrninat8 the contract
and the Owner may comply with th e request, and th e termination
shall be conditioned and based upon a final settlem e nt
mutually acceptable to both the Owner and the Contractor and
final payment sha l l be made in accordance with the terms of
the agreed settlement, which shall include, but not be limited
to, the payment for all work executed but no anticipat e d
profits on work which has not been performed.
C7-7.14 SUSPENSION OR ABANDONMENT OF THE WORK AND ANNULMENT OF
CONTRACT: The work operations on all or any portion or
section of the work under Contract shall be suspended
immediately on written order of the Engineer or the Cont r .:=tct

sufficient cause. The following, by way of example, but not
of limitation, may be considered grounds for suspension or
cancellation:
a. Failure of the Contractor to commence work
operations within the time specified in the Work
Order issued by the Owner.

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 National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP ) fou nd 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
contract or other law , ordinance , regulation or policy whose requirements are more
stringent.
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 d isposed 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 , transporta t ion , 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 responsib le 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 .
