VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to the
award of contracts to nonresident bidders. This law provides that, in order to be
awarded a contract as low bidder, nonresident 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 too underbid a nonresident bidder in order
to obtain a comparable contract in the State in which the nonresident's principal
place of business is located. The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out
by all out-of-state or nonresident bidders in order for your bid to meet specifications .
The failure of out-of-state or nonresident contractors to do so will automatically
disqualify that bidder. Residen t bidders must check the box in Section B.
A. Nonresident 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 .
Nonresident vendors in (give State), our 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.~

SECTION C2-2 INTERPRETATION AND PREPARATION OF PROPOSAL
C2 -2. i 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 understandi ri.g of the proj ect 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 openim!: of bids.
The financial statement required shall have been prepared by an independent certified
public accountant or an independent public accountant holding a valid permit issued by
an appropriate state licensing agency, and shall have been so prepared as to reflect the
current financial status. This statement must be current and no more than one (1) year old.
In the case that bidding date falls within the time a new statement is being prepared, the
prev ious statement shall be updated by proper verification. Liquid assets in the amount of
ten ( 10) percent of the estimated project cost will be required.

reflect the experience of the firm seeking qualification in work of both the same nature
and magnitude as that of the project for which bids are to be received, and such
experience must have been completed not more than five (5) years prior to the date on

Documents will be considered as approximate only and will be used for the purpose of
comparing bids on a uniform basis. Payment will be made to the Contractor for only 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(1)
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 dat a
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 filing of proposal , to read and become familiar with the
Contract Documents, to visit the site of the project and examine carefully all loca l
conditions , to inform themselves by their own ind~pendent research and investigations,
tests, boring, and by such other means as may be necessary to gain a complete knowledge
of the conditions which will be encountered during 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 the time required for its completion, and obtain all
information required to make an intelligent proposal. No information given by the Owner
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 investigation, examinations and tests
herein required . Claims for additional compensation due to variations between condition s
actually encountered in construction and as indicated in the Contract Documents will not
be allowed.
The logs of Soil Borings , if any, on the plans are for general information only and may
not be correct. Neither the Owner nor the Engineer guarantee that the data shown is
representative of conditions which actually exist.
C2-2.4 SUBMITTING OF PROPOSAL: The Bidder shall submit his Proposal on th e
form furnished by the Owner. All blank spaces applicable to the project contained in th e
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 work contemplated or furnish t h e
materials required. All such prices shall be written legibly . In case of discrepancy
between 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 of the firm, association, or partnership,

alternate bids , erasures, or irregularities of any kind , or contain unbalanced 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 the amount indicated in the "Notice to Bidders"
and the "Proposal." The Bid Security is required by the Owner as 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 the three lowest bidders will be retained
until the contract is awarded or other disposition is made thereof. The bid security of all
other bidders may be returned promptly after the canvass of bids.
C2-2 .7 DELIVERY OF PROPOSAL: No proposal will be considered unless it is
delivered , accompanied by its proper Bid Security, to the City Manager or his·
representative in the official place of business as set forth in the "Notice to Bidders." It is
the Bidder's sole responsibility to deliver the proposal at the proper time to the proper
place. The mere fact that a proposal was dispatched will not be considered. The Bidder
must have the proposal actually delivered. Each proposal shall be in a sealed envelope
plainly marker 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.

Manager cannot be withdrawn prior to the time set for opening proposals . A request for

him prior to the time set for opening of proposals . After all proposals not requested for
non-consideration are opened and publicly read aloud , the proposals for which non-
consideration requests have been properly filed may , at the option of the Owner , be
returned unopened.
C2-2.9 TELEGRAHIC MODIFICATIONS OF PROPOSALS: Any Bidder may modify

thereof shall be presented by the Contractor to the Engineer and if by the Engineer found
correct, shall be approved and referred by the Engineer to the City Council for final

remain in full force until the discharge of the contract.

proposal section of the Contract Documents.

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 increased time granted by the Owner, or as automaticall y
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 the monies due the Contractor, not as a
penalty, but as liquidated damages suffered by the Owner.

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 p ipe is friable
o r 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
respqnsible 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 d isposal 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.

GEOTECHNICAL EVALUATION
DOE 5154 CHICKERING ROAD AND FAIRFAX STREET, PAVEMENT DESIGN
FORT WORTH, TEXAS
1.0 PROJECT INFORMATION
The City of Fort Worth is planning reconstruction of Chickering Road from Stonedale Road to Angus Drive
and Fairfax Street.from Garza Avenue to Ewing Avenue. This project is designated as DOE 5154 -Contract
30. This geotechnical evaluation consists of a detailed geotechnical study in accordance with the City of Fort
Worth Pavement Design Manual of 2005.
2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our services for this project were performed in general conformance with our Proposal No.
PROP06FTW0.0034, dated January 24, 2006. The purposes of this geotechnical evaluation were to:
• Explore the subsurface conditions at the site.
• Characterize the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions.
• Provide comments and recommendations regarding site grading and drainage.
• Provide recommendations for subgrade stabilization, if appropriate.
• Provide pavement thickness design based on the City of Fort Worth Pavement Design Standards,
dated 2005.
3.0 FIELD EXPLORATION
A total of six test borings were drilled within the limits of the proposed project streets on August 8, 2006. The
approximate boring locations are shown on the enclosed Boring Location Plan (Figure 1). All borings were
drilled to a depth of 10 feet.
A truck-mounted drill rig was used to advance the borings and to obtain samples for laboratory evaluation .
Undisturbed specimens of the cohesive soils were obtained continuously to the top of the bedrock using
standard, seamless tube samplers.

Page 1
DO-5 154 -Chric kering Road and Fairfax Street, Pavement Des ign , Fort Worth , Texas Septemb er 15 , 2006
The samples were extruded in the field , logged , sealed and packaged to protect them from disturbance and to
maintain their in-situ moisture contents during transportation to our laboratory . Sampling depths for the soil
samples are presented on the Logs of Borings (Figures 2 through 7).
4.0 LABORATORY TESTING
The project geotechnical engineer exa mined the samples at our laboratory and revised the field classifications
as necessary. Selected samples were subjected to laboratory tests under the supervision of this engineer. The
laboratory tests included Atterberg limits (ASTM D 4318), dry unit weight determinations, moisture content
measurements (ASTM D22 l 6), un_consolidated undrained triaxial tests (ASTM D 2850), and soluble sulfate
tests (TxDOT Tex-154-E). These tests are required by the City of Fort Worth Pavement Design Standards.
The results of these tests are provided on the Logs of Borings presented on Figures 2 through 7 and in Figures
8 through 12.
5.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
_A brief description of the conditions that were encountered in the borings is presented below . A more detailed
description of the subsurface conditions is presented on the attached Lo gs of Borings. It should be noted that
the boundaries between the various soil types are approximate and may vary. In addition , the depths shown on
the Boring Logs refer to the depth s from the ground surfaces that were present at the time of the field
exploration program .
5.1 Site Geology
The sites are located in an area underlain by the Grayson Marl and Mainstream Limestone undivided .
The Grayson Marl generally consists of predominately calcareous clay with some limestone, clays, and shale.
The Main Street Limestone Formation generally consists of residual clays overlying massive gray limestone
with some calcareous shale. At this site, the Grayson Marl and Main Street Limestone consist of residual clay
underlain by weathered limestone, with clay layers .

DO-5154 -Chrickering Road and Fairfax Street, Pavement Design, Fort Worth , Texas S eptemb er 15 , 2006
5.2 Stratigraphy
All borings were drilled through the existing pavement sections. The pavement sections consist of 4 to 6
inches of asphalt concrete pavement over 6 to 12 inches of base material, except in Boring B-3. In Boring B-3 ;
the asphaltic concrete is underlain by 8 inches of concrete pavement. Beneath the pavement is yellowish
brown clay, with limestone pieces , calcareous deposits and nodules extending to depths of 4 to 7 feet. Beneath
this yellowish brown clay is yellowish brown and light gray shaly clay, with sand seams, to depths of 8 to 9.5
feet, except in Boring B-4. The shaly clay is not present in Boring B-4 . Beneath the clay is tan, weathered
limestone, with clay layers , extending to the l O foot depth explored.
The yellowish b°rown clay, with limestone pieces, calcareous deposits and nodules has liquid limit (LL) values
ranging from 45 to 66 percent, plastic limit (PL) varying from 19 to 26 percent, and plasticity index (PI) values
ranging from 25 to 45 percent. In-situ moisture contents of the yellowish brown clay, with limestone pieces,
calcareous deposits and nodules varied from 6 to 21 percent. Unconsolidated-Undrained (UU) compressive
strengths of these materials ranged from 6.4 to 13 .1 kips per square foot (ksf). The yellowish brown and light
gray shaly clay has LL values of 72 to 80 percent, PL values of 25 to 29 percent, and Pl values of 4 7 to 51
percent. In-situ moisture contents of the yellowish brown and light gray shaly clay varied from 11 to 28
percent.
5.3 Groundwater Conditions
All borings were drilled using continuous flight auger methods which allow measurement of ground water
during or after completion. Ground-water seepage was not encountered and all borings were dry at completion
of drilling.
An accurate determination of the uppermost water bearing zone would require the installation of ground-water
monitoring wells and a water level monitoring program extending over several days. The presence and amount
of ground water will fluctuate seasonally due to variations in the amount of precipitation, infiltration and
evaporation.
The evaluation of the potential presence of pollution or contaminants in the soil or ground water at this site
is beyond the scope of this project.

DO-5 I 54 -Chrickering Road and Fairfax Street, Pavement Design, Fort Worth, Texas Se1:..tember I 5, 2006 6.0 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Dark to reddish brown clay was encountered at the surface in all borings and extended to depths of 4 to 7 feet. A swell ratio, SR (as defined in the City of Fort Worth Pavement Design Standards Manual), greater than 1.0 was calculated for these soils. Therefore, modification or stabilization of the sub grade soils is required by the City standard. 7 .0 PAVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS Pavement recommendations for this project were developed in accordance with Section 4 of the City of Fort ·Worth Pavement Design Standards. 7.1 Subgrade Preparation Stabilization is necessary where the subgrade is clay. Based on the Atterberg Limits tests, a minimum of 8 percent hydrated lime should be used. This lime should be thoroughly mixed and blended with the top of the sub grade (THO Item 260) and the mixture compacted to a minimum of95 percent of maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM D 698, within ±2 percent of optimum moisture content. We recommend that this lime stabilization extend 2 feet beyond exposed pavement edges, in order to reduce the effects of shrinkage during extended dry periods. Project specifications should allow a curing period between initial and final mixing of the lime/soil mixture. After initial mixing, the lime treated subgrade should be lightly rolled and maintained at or to +4% of optimum moisture content until final mixing and compaction. We recommend a 2-day curing period for these soils. The following gradation requirements are recommended for the stabilized materials prior to final compaction: Minimum Passing 1/2" Sieve Minimum Passing No. 4 Sieve Percent 100 60 All nonslaking aggregates retained on the No. 4 sieve should be removed prior to testing.

T he pre pa red sub g rade s hould be pro tected and moist cured o r sea led w ith a bituminous material fo r a
minimum of 5 days or until th e pavement materials are placed . Pavement areas should be graded at all t im es to
prevent pondin g and infiltration of excessive moisture on or adjacent to the pavement areas.
7 .2 Pavement Sections
Pav ement sections for the subdivi sion were developed based on the soil conditions encountered and The C ity
of Fo rt Worth Pav ement Des ign Standards . The followin g criterion was utilized for pavement des ign :
1. Traffic
2 .
Street Classification
Design ESALs
Residential-Urban
35,000
Subgrade Characteristics
Resilient Modulus: 4,118.20 psi Modulus of Subgrade Reaction: 94 .6 psi/in .
3 . Base Material
Crushed Stone Base for Residential Streets
Cement Treated Base for Collector Streets
4 . Design Life
25 years
1 .5 % growth for Collector; 0 % growth for Residential
Based on the above criteria, the following pavement sections are recommended :

DO-5154 -Chrickering Road and Fairfax Street, Pavement Design, Fort Worth, Texas September 15, 2006
The pavement sections were developed using the WinP AS computer program which is based on the 1993
AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures.
The Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete (HMAC) sections should consist of a surface course similar to THD Type D
with a base course similar to THO Type A or B. The coarse aggregate in the surface layer should be crushed
I imestone rather than gravel.
Concrete quality will be important in order to produce the desired flexural strength and long term durability.
We recommend that the concrete have entrained air of 5 percent(+ 1 percent) with a maximum water cement
ratio of 0.50. A 28-day compressive strength of 4,000 psi is recommended for all PCC pavements.
Portland cement concrete pavement types for the streets can be either continuously reinforced concrete
pavement (CRCP) or jointed reinforced concrete pavements (JRCP). Due to construction over swelling clays ,
un-reinforced pavement is not recommended. Jointed reinforced concrete pavements are typically used for
high volume heavy traffic areas. CRCP will require more longitudinal reinforcing steel resulting in more initial
construction costs. Either type of reinforced pavement should perform similarly in this area. Reinforcing steel
and joint systems for either type of pavement should be properly designed . Where CRCP is utilized, the
percentage of longitudinal steel is generally 0.5 to 0.6 percent of the concrete area. Transverse steel for CRCP
is based on the subgrade drag theory:
Ps = (LF / 2f,) x 100
Where
Ps = Percent steel by area
L = distance between free (untied) joints (feet)
F = friction factor for subgrade (1.8 for lime stabilized subgrade)
fs = allowable working stress in steel -psi (0.75 x yield point)
Where JRCP is used, both the longitudinal and transverse steel required should be calculated by the subgrade
drag equation .

DO-5154 -Chrickering Road and Fairfax Street, Pavem ent Des ign , Fort Worth , Texas Septemb er 15 , 2006
Proper joint placement and design is critical to pavement performance . Load transfer at all longitudinal joints
and maintenance of water-tight joints should be accomplished by use of tie bars . Control joints should be
sawed within 5 to 12 hours after placing concrete. Joints should also be properly cleaned and sealed as soon as
possible to avoid infiltration of water, small gravel , etc.
We have found that joint spacing on 12 to 15 foot centers have generally performed satisfactorily. Expansion
joints should be on a 60-foot spacing and be sealed with an elastomeric joint sealant. Dowel bars should be
0.50 inch diameter smooth bars, 16 inches in length, and spaced at 12 inches on center.
7.3 Special Pavement Considerations
We recommend all pavement subgrade areas be proofrolled after removal of existing pavement and base
material. Proofrolling can generally be accomplished using a heavy (25 ton or greater total weight) pneumatic
tired roller making several passes over the areas. Where soft or compressible zones are encountered, these
areas should be removed to a firm subgrade . Wet or very moist surficial materials may need to be undercut and
either dried or replaced with proper compaction or replaced with a material that can be properly compacted .
Any resulting void areas should be backfilled to finished subgrade in 6 inch compacted lifts compacted to 95
percent of maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 698.
Achieving the required field density is dependent upon the adequate pulverization of the clay fill materials, the
magnitude of compaction energy and the maintenance of field moisture near optimum. All joints and
pavements should be inspected at regular intervals to ensure proper performance and to prevent crack
propagation .
The soils at the site are active and differential heave within the street area could potentially occur. The service
I ife of paving may be reduced due to water infiltration into sub grade soils through heave induced cracks in the
paving section. This will result in softening and loss of strength of the subgrade soils. A regular maintenance
program to seal paving cracks and joints will help prolong the service life of paving.

The life of the pavement can be increased with proper drainage. Areas should be graded to prevent ponding
adjacent to curbs or pavement edges. Curb areas should be backfilled as soon as practical after the concrete
has set, preferably with the on-site clay soils . Backfill materials, which could hold water behind the curb ,
should not be permitted. Flat pavement grades should be avoided .

Dear Mr. Sauceda:
In accordance with the request of your e-mail of January 3, 2007, the following information is provided
for the referenced projects:
The percentage of lime stabilization for the various streets depends upon the unit weight of the sub grade
soil; therefore, variations are common. The recommended perceritage of lim~ stabilization for all three
projects was eight (8) percent; in terms of pounds of hydrated lime per square yard of subgrade the _
recommendations are as follows:
· Pounds of Hydrated Lime for Depth of S~bilization
6 inches 8 inches 12 inches
Clinton A venue 37 49 74
Gould A venue 41 54 81
Chickering Road 41 54 81
Fairfax Street 38 51 76
Penrose A venue (North) 1 30 40 60 . I .
38 50 76 Penrose Avenue (South) ·
· Pamela Drive (North) 1 45 60 90
Pamela Drive (South) 1 38 51 76
Norte 1: The pounds of hydrated linie per depth of stabilization for these two streets are
presented as north and south because of the extreme variation of the unit weight of the subgrade .
