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. Resident 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. ~

Contractor's expense. Contractor shall indemnify and hold
harmless Owner and engineer and anyone directly or indirectly
employed by either of them from and against the claims, damages,
losses and expenses (including attorneys fees) arising out of
the use of substituted materials or equipment.

of the Engineer, or as called for in the Contract Documents,
tests of materials or equipment are necessary, such tests will
be made at the expense of and paid for direct to the testing
agency by the Owner unless otherwise specifically provided. The
failure of the Owner to make any tests of materials shall in no
way relieve the Contractor of his responsibility of furnishing
materials and equipment fully 'conforming to the requirements of
the Contract Documents. Tests and sampling of materials, unless
otherwise specified, will be made in accordance with the latest
methods prescribed by the American Society for Testing Materials
or specific requirements of the Owner. The Contractor shall
provide such facilities as the Engineer may require for
collecting and forwarding samples and shall not, without
specific written permission of the Engineer, use the materials
represented by the samples until tests have been made and the
materials approved for use. The Contractor will furnish
adequate samples without charge to the Owner.

platforms or other hard, clean durable surfaces and not on the
ground, and shall be placed under cover when directed. Stored
materials shall be placed and located so as to facilitate prompt
inspection.
CS-5. 14 EXISTING STRUCTURES AND UTILITIES: The location and
dimensions shown on the Plans relative to existing utilities are
based on the best information available. Omission from or the
inclusion of utility locations on the Plans is not to be
considered as the nonexistence of, or a definite location of,
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, in which case the provision in these Contract
Documents for Extra Work shall apply.
It shall be the Contractor's 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 utilities,
structures and service lines. Verification of existing
utilities, structures and service lines shall include
C5-5 (7)
notification of all utility companies at least forty-eight ( 48)
hours in advance of construction including exploratory
excavation if necessary. All verification of existing utilities
and their adjustment shall be considered as subsidiary work.

or neglect on the part of the contractor, any other Contractor
or any sub-contractor shall suffer loss or damage on the work,
the Contractor agrees to settle with such other Contractor or
sub-contractor by agreement or arbitration. If such other
Contractor or sub-contractor shall assert any claim against the
Owner on account of any damage alleged to have been sustained,
the Owner will notify the Contractor, who shall indemnify and
save harmless the Owner against any such claim.
CS-5. 1 7 CLEAN-UP: Clean-up of surplus and/ or waste materials
accumulated on the job site during the prosecution of the work
under these Contract Documents shall be accomplished in keeping
with a daily routine established to the satisfaction of the
Engineer. If, within twenty-four (24) hours after written
notice is given to the Contractor that the clean-up on the job
site is proceeding in a manner unsatisfactory to the Engineer,
the Contractor fails to correct the unsatisfactory procedure,
the City may take such direct action as the Engineer deems
appropriate to correct the clean-up deficiencies cited to the
contractor in the written notice, and the costs of such direct
action, plus 25% of such costs, shall be deducted from monies
due or to become due to the Contractor.
Upon the completion of the project as a whole as covered by
these Contract Documents, and before final acceptance and final
payment will be made, the Contractor shall clean and remove from
the site of the project all surplus and discarded materials,
temporary structures, and debris of every kind. He shall leave
the site of all work in a neat and orderly condition equal to
that which originally existed. Surplus and waste materials
removed from the site of the work shall be disposed of at
locations satisfactory to the Engineer. The Contractor shall
thoroughly clean all equipment and materials installed by him
and shall deliver over such materials and equipment in a bright,
clean, polished and new appearing condition. No extra
compensation will be made to the Contractor for any clean-up
required on the project.
CS-5.18 FINAL INSPECTION: Whenever the work provided for in and
contemplated under the Contract Documents has been
satisfactorily completed and final clean-up performed, the
Engineer will notify the proper officials of the Owner and
request that the final inspection be made. Such inspection will
be made within 10 days after such notification. After such
C5-5 (9)
final inspection, if the work and materials and equipment are
found satisfactory, the Contractor will be notified in writing
of the acceptance of the same after the proper resolution has
been passed by the City Council. No time charge will be made
against the Contractor between said date of notification of the
Engineer and the date of final inspection of the work.

at all times be conducted by the Contractor to create a minimum
amount of inconvenience to the public. At any time when, in the
judgment of the Engineer, the Contractor has obstructed or

the approval of the Engineer and shall be maintained in a
satisfactory, safe 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 completed as defined in Cl-
1. 23 "WORKING DAY" or the date stipulated in the "WORK ORDER"
for beginning work, whichever comes first.
Nothing in these Contract Documents shall be construed as
prohibiting the Contractor from working on Saturday, Sunday or
Legal Holidays, providing that the following requirements 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 Thursday preceding.
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
completion of the project.
The Engineer's decision shall be final in response
request for approval to work on a specific Saturday,
C7-7 (3)
the timely
to such a
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.
C7-7.7 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 progre~s 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 unforeseeable 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 bona fide attempt to secure deli very
on schedule. This shall include efforts to obtain the supplies
and materials from alternate sources in case the first source
cannot make delivery.
C7-7 (4)
If satisfactory execution and completion of the contract should
require work and materials in greater amounts or quantities t han
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 a~y,
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

City caused by the Contractor's delay in completing the work
hereunder in the time specified by the Contract Documents would
be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, and that

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

periods of time as he may deem necessary due to unsuitable
weather conditions or any other unfavorable conditions which in

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.
C7-7 (6)
If it should become necessary to suspend work for an indefin ite
period, the Contractor shall store all materials in such ma n ner
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 control of and without the
fault or negligence of, the Contractor as set forth in Paragr aph

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 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.

President of the United States, or other lawful authority, it
becomes 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 the efforts which have
been made and listing all necessary i terns of labor, materials,
and equipment not obtainable. If, after investigation, the
Owner finds that such conditions exist and that the inability of
the Contractor to proceed is not attributable in whole or in
part to the fault or neglect of the Contractor, 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
C7-7 (7)

part thereof as the Owner shall designate, whereupon the
Sureties may, at their option, assume the contract or that
portion thereof which the Owner has ordered the Contractor to

and proper expense any defects or imperfections in the
construction or in the strength or quality of the material used

It is understood that the partial estimate from month to month
will be approximate only, and all partial monthly estimates and
payment will be subject to correction in the estimate rendered
following the discovery of an error in any previous estimate,
and such estimate shall not, in any respect, be taken as an
admission of the Owner of · the amount of work done or of its
quality of sufficiency, or as an acceptance of the work done or
the release of the Contractor of any of his responsibilities
under the Contract Documents.
The City reserves the right to withhold the payment of any
monthly estimate if the contractor fails to perform the work
strictly in accordance with the specifications or provisions of

final inspection. The Engineer shall notify the appropriate
officials of the Owner, who will within a reasonable time make
such final inspection, and if the work is satisfactory, in an

days after final acceptance by the Owner on a proper resolution
of the City Council, provided the Contractor has furnished to

submission of the final estimate for payment, the Contractor
shall execute an affidavit, as furnished by the City, certifying
that all persons, firms, associations, corporations, or other
organizations furnishing labor and/or · materials have been paid
in full, that the wage scale established by the City Council in
the City of Fort Worth has been paid, and that there are no
claims pending for personal injury and/or property damages.

approved Contract Documents. It is, therefore, agreed that the
Owner shall be responsible for the adequacy of its own design
features, sufficiency of the Contract Documents, the safety of
the structure, and the practicability of the operations of the
completed project, provided the Contractor has complied with the
requirements of the said Contract Documents, all approved
modifications thereof, and additions and alterations thereto

materials or workmanship. The Contractor shall remedy any
defects or damages in the work and pay for any damage to other
work resulting therefrom which shall appear within a period of

A. It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth to comply w ith 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
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
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 carefu l 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)

FORT WORTH, TEXAS
1.0 PROJECT INFORMATION
The City of Fort Worth is planning reconstruction of Clinton Avenue from NW 23 rd Street to NW 25th Street
and Gould Avenue from NW 25 th Street to NW 26th Street. This project is designated DOE 5124. 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.
PROP06FTW0.0018 dated January 31, 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 sub grade 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 five test borings ( designated as Borings B-13 through B-1 7) were drilled within the limits of the
proposed project streets on August 8, 2006. Borings B-1 through B-12 are contained in the geotechnical
reports for projects DOE 5153 and DOE 5154. 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.
MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. Report No. 4900-06-3021
Page 1
DOE 5124 -Clinton and Gould Avenues, Pavement Design, Fort Worth ,Texas September 18, 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 6).
4.0 LABORATORY TESTING
The project geotechnical engineer examined 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 detenninations, moisture content
measurements (ASTM D2216), unconsolidated 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 6 and in Figures
7 through 11.
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 Logs 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 depths from the ground surfaces that were present at the time of the field
exploration program.
5.1 Site Geology
The site is situated on Alluvium and Quaternary deposits undivided, overlying the Fort Worth
Limestone and Duck Creek Formation undivided. The Alluvium and Quaternary deposits generally consist
of intermixed sand clays to silty sands. The Fort Worth Limestone and Duck Creek Formation generally
consists of highly plastic residual clays overlying massive gray limestone at depth.
5.2 Stratigraphy
All borings were drilled through the existing street pavement; this pavement consists of 4 to 6 inches of asphalt
concrete over 8 inches of base material in Boring B-13. Base material was not encountered in the other
borings.
MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. Report No. 4900-06-3021
Page2
DOE 5124 -Clinton and Gould Avenues, Pavement Design, Fort Worth ,Texas September I 8, 2006
Beneath the pavement in all borings is yellowish brown clay, with cakareous deposits, extending to depths of 4
to the maximum 10 foot depth explored. In Borings B-13 and B-14 this clay is underlain by yellowish brown
and gray shaley clay, with cakareous deposits, to depths of 5 to 7 feet. In Borings B-13 and B-14 the shaly
clay is underlain by tan, weathered limestone, with clay layers, to the boring termination depth of 10 feet.
The yellowish brown clay, with calcareous deposits, has liquid limit (LL) values ranging from 50 to 72 percent,
plastic limit (PL) varying from 20 to 27 percent, and plasticity index (Pl) values ranging from 29 to 45 percent.
In-situ moisture contents of the yellowish brown clay, with calcareous deposits, varied from 13 to 23 percent.
Unconsolidated-Undrained (UU) compressive strengths of these materials ranged from 4.9 to 19.8 kips per .
square foot (ksf). The yellowish brown and gray shaley clay, with calcareous deposits, has a in-situ moisture
contents of20 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.
6.0 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Yellowish brown clay, with calcareous deposits, extending from depths of 4 feet to the maximum 10-foot depth
explored. 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 subgrade 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 Port
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 (THD 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 Oto +4% above
optimum moisture content until final mixing and compaction. We recommend a two 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.
The prepared subgrade should be protected and moist cured or sealed with a bituminous material for a
minimum of 5 days or until the pavement materials are placed. Pavement areas should be graded at all times to
prevent ponding and infiltration of excessive moisture on or adjacent to the pavement areas.

7 .2 Pavement Sections
Pavement sections for the subdivision were developed based on the soil conditions encountered and The City
of Fort Worth Pavement Design Standards. The following criterion was utilized for pavement design:
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

12 inches Crushed Stone Base
12 inches Lime Stabilized Subgrade
PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE (PCC) SECTION
6 inches PCC
6 inches Lime Stabilized Subgrade
Table prepared by JC Table checked by TA
The pavement sections were developed using the WinP AS computer program which is based on the 1993
AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures.
MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. Report No. 4900-06-3021
Page5
DOE 5124 -Clinton and Gould Avenues, Pavement Design, Fort Worth , Texas September 18, 2006
The Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete (HMAC) sections should consist of a surface course similar to THD Type D
with a base course similar to THD Type A or B .. The coarse aggregate in the surface layer should be crushed
limestone 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 oflongitudinal steel is generally 0.5 to 0.6 percent of the concrete area. Transverse steel for CRCP
is based on the subgracle drag theory: .
Ps = (LF / 2f5) X 100
Where
P s = Percent steel by area
L = distance between free (untied) joints (feet)
F = friction factor for subgrade (1.8 for lime stabilized subgrade)
f5 = 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.
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, spaced at I 2 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
life of paving may be reduced due to water infiltration into subgrade 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.
