C7-7.7 TIME OF COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION : The Contractor shall commence the work specified
in the Contract (within the time set forth in the Work Order). Failure to do so shall be considered by the Owner

the premises cleaned up in accordance with the Contract Documents and within the time estab lished 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

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 reques ted 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 .

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 by the failure of the City to provide

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 applicat ion for which shall , however , be subject to the approval of the City Council ; and no such

the Proposal section of the contract documents
The number of days syndicated shall be 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 complet ion specified in the Contract Documents . For each calendar day that any work
shall rema in uncompleted after the time specified in the Contract , Documents , or the increased time granted by
the Owner, or as automatically 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

sanitary sewers by the pipe enlargement system , herein called Pipe Bursting or
Pipe Crush ing (P ipe Bursting/Crushing). This system includes splitting or bursting
the existing pipe to install a new polyethylene pipe and reconnect existing sewer
service connections .
2. Methods: Th is section specifies the approved system method or process to
include all labor, materials , tools , equipment and incidentals necessary to provide
for the complete rehabilitation of deteriorated gravity sewer lines by the Pipe
Burst ing/Crushing systems . Approved methods include: the PIM Corporation
(PIM System), Piscata Way, New Jersey ; Mclat Construction (McConne ll System
for Pipe Crush ing), Houston , Texas; and Trenchless Replacement Systems , (TRS
System), Calgary , Canada. Refer to Part D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS D-34
SIBSTITUTIONS for information regarding pre-approval procedures for alternative
processes .
3. Definition : The Pipe Bursting/Crushing system is defined as the reconstruction of
gravity sewer pipe by installing an approved pipe material, by means of one of the
pre -approved methods set forth in Section A.2 of this specification . The process
involves the use of a static, hydraulic or pneumatic hammer "moling" device,
suitably s ized to break out the old p ipe or using modified boring "kn ife" with a
flared plug that implodes and crushes the existing sewer pipe . Forward progress
of the "mole " or t he "knife" may be aided by the use of hydraul ic equipment or
other apparatus , as specified in the approved methods. The replacement pipe is
either pulled o r pushed into t he bore . T he method allows for replacement of pipe
sizes from 8" through 21" and/or ups izing in vary ing increments up to 21 ". This
specification is based on the precedent that the Pipe Bursting/Crushing system
used has been pre -approved by the C ity of Fort Worth Department of Eng ineering ,
and Fort Worth Water Department.
4 . Quality Assurance :
The Contractor shall be certified by the particular Pipe Burst ing/Crushing system

nonresident b idders (out-of-State contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of busin ess
are outside of the State of Texas) bid projects for construction , improvements , supplies or services in
Texas at an amount lower than the lowest Tex as resident b idder by the same amount that a Texa s
resident bidder would be required too underbid a nonresident b idd er in order to obtain a comparab le
contract in the State in which the nonresident's principal place of bus iness 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 con tractors to do so w ill automatica lly
d isqual ify that b idder. Res ident bidders must check the box in Section B .
A. Nonres ident vendors in (give State), our principal place of business , are required
to be percent lower than resident b idders by State law. A copy of the Statu te is
attached .
Nonresident vendors in __________ (give State), our principal place of busin ess ,
are not required to underbid resident bidde rs .
