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) 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. 8 . 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 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.

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 outs ide 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 .

WRD-259 3/20/02 VENDOR COMPLIANCE WITH RECIPROCITY ON NON- RESIDENT BIDDERS Government Code 2252 .002 provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, a non- resident bidder must 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 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. A non- resident bidder is a contractor whose corporate offices or principal place of business is outside of the state of Texas. This requirement does not apply to a contract involving Federal funds. 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 blank 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. Our principal place of business or corporate offices are in the State of Texas: -------- BIDDER: Company I! ~~1.e-< ----a . City State Zip By: Signature Title: (please print) TIDS FORM MUST BE RETURNED WITH THE BID ED-004F (3 /9/04) Instructions on use of Texas Water Development Board Supplemental Contract Conditions CWSRF Tier II Applicability These Supplemental Conditions contain provisions that are worded to comply with certain statutes and regulations which specifically relate to the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Tier II (projects receiving state funds only). Provisions that are applicable to the project's funding source or dollar value of the contract are so noted within with the provision. Construction projects that have Colonia Wastewater Treatment Assistance Program (CWT AP) funding do not use these conditions but instead use the EPA Supplemental Conditions and TWDB Special Conditions ED-004C. Construction projects which are financed by CWSRF Tier ill (projects receiving federal funds) and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund do not use these conditions but instead use TWDB Supplemental Conditions ED-004E. Projects with State Loan funding use Supplemental Conditions ED-004G. Optional provisions that are good business practices are available in ED-004H. Application of Conditions The conditions and forms listed under Instructions to Bidders are to be included in the instructions to bidders for construction services. The provisions listed under Construction Contract Supplemental Conditions should be included with the other general and special conditions that are typically included in the construction contract documents by the design engineer. Modifications to Provisions The Applicant may need to modify parts of these provisions to better fit the other provisions of the construction contract. The Applicant and the consulting engineer should carefully study these provisions before incorporating them into the construction contract documents. In particular, Water Districts and other types of districts should be aware of statutes relating to their creation and operation that may affect the application of these conditions. The Recipient (Owner) is to determine and incorporate the affirmative action goals for the project into supplemental condition No. 11. Condition number No. 12 (Archeological Discoveries and Cultural Resources) and No. 13 (Endangered Species) may be superseded or modified by project specific conditions established during the application process. These documents may confer certain duties and responsibilities on the consulting engineer that are beyond, or short of, what the Applicant intends to delegate. The Applicant should ensure that the contractual agreement with the engineer provides for the appropriate services. Otherwise the Applicant should revise the wording in these special conditions to agree with actually delegated functions. Good Business Practices There are other contract provisions that the Owner and Designer need to include as a matter of good business practices.
