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 os10 11oa SC-52 PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS 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. Compl iance 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. D-68 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION (FOR DISTURBED AREAS GREATER THAN 1 ACRE) PERMIT: As defined by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations, a Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) General Construction Permit is required for all construction activities that result in the disturbance of one to five acres (Small Construction Activity) or five or more acres of total land (Large Construction Activity). The contractor is defined as an "operator" by state regulations and is required to obtain a permit. Information concerning the permit can be obtained through the Internet at http ://www .tnrcc .state .tx .us/permitting/water perm/wwperm/construct.html. Soil stabilization and structural practices have been selected and designed · in accordance with North Central Texas Council of Governments Best Management Practices and Eros ion Control Manual for Construction Activities (BMP Manual). This manual can be obtained through the Internet at www.dfwstormwater.com/runoff.html. Not all of the structural controls discussed in the BMP Manual will necessarily apply to this project. Best Management Practices are construction management techniques that, if properly utilized, can minimize the need for physical controls and possible reduce costs . The methods of control shall result in minimum sediment retention of not less than 70%. NOTICE OF INTENT (NOi): If the project will result in a total land disturbance equal to or greater than 5 acres , the contractor shall sign at the pre-construction meeting a TCEQ Notice of Intent (NOi) form prepared by the engineer. It serves as a notification to the TCEQ of construction activity as well as a commitment that the contractor understands the requirements of the permit for storm water discharges from construction activities and that measures will be taken to implement and maintain storm water pollution prevention at the site. The NOi shall be submitted to the TCEQ at least 48 hours prior to the contractor moving on site and shall include the required $100 application fee . The NOi shall be mailed to: 05/01 /08 SC-53 PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Storm Water & General Permits Team ; MC-228 P.O .

LARGE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY -DISTURBED AREA EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 5 ACRES : A Notice of Intent (NOi) form shall be completed and submitted to the TCEQ including payment of the TCEQ required fee . A SWPPP that meets all TCEQ requirements prepared by the Engineer shall be prepared and implemented at least 48 hours before the commencement of construction activities. The SWPPP shall be incorporated into in the contract documents . The contractor shall submit a schedule for implementation of the SWPPP. Deviations from the plan must be submitted to the engineer for approval. The SWPPP is not warranted to meet all the conditions of the permit since the actual construction activities may vary from those anticipated during the preparation of the SWPPP. Modifications may be required to fully conform to the requirements of the Permit. The contractor must keep a copy of the most current SWPPP at the construction site . Any alterations to the SWPPP proposed by the contractor must be prepared and submitted by the contractor to the engineer for review and approval. A Notice of Termination (NOT) form shall be submitted within 30 days after final stabilization has been achieved on all portions of the site that is the responsibility of the permittee , or, when another permitted operator assumes control over all areas of the site that have not been finally stabilized . SMALL CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY -DISTURBED AREA EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN ONE ACRE BUT LESS THAN FIVE ACRES : Submission of a NOi form is not required . However, a TCEQ Site Notice form must be completed and posted at the site . A copy of the completed Site Notice must be sent to the City of Fort Worth Department of Environmental Management at the 0510 1/08 SC-54 PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS address listed above . A SWPPP, prepared as described above , shall be implemented at least 48 hours before the commencement of construction activities . The SWPPP must include descriptions of control measures necessary to prevent and control soil erosion , sedimentation and water pollution and will be included in the contract documen ts. The control measures shall be installed and maintained throughout the construction to assure effective and cont inuous water pollution control. The controls may include , but not be limited to, silt fences , straw bale dikes , rock berms, diversion dikes , interceptor swales , sediment traps and basins , pipe slope drain , inlet protection, stabilized construction entrances, seeding, sodding , mulch ing, soil retention blankets , or other structural or non-structural storm water pollution controls .

Based upon the City's assessment of the submitted information, a recommendation regarding the award of a contract will be made to the City Council. Failure to submit the additional information if requested may be grounds for rejecting the apparent low bidder as non-responsive. Affected contractors will be notified in writing of a recommendation to the City Council. D-71 EARLY WARNING SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTION Time is of the essence in the completion of this contract. In order to insure that the contractor is responsive when notified of unsatisfactory performance and/or of failure to maintain the contract schedule, the following process shall be applicable : The work progress on all construction projects will be closely monitored . On a bi-monthly basis the percentage of work completed will be compared to the percentage of time charged to the contract. If the amount of work performed by the contractor is less than the percentage of time allowed by 05/01 /08 SC-55 PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS 20% or more ( example : 10% of the work completed in 30% of the stated contract time as may be amended by change order), the following proactive measures w i ll be taken : 1. A letter will be mailed to the contractor by certified mail, return receipt requested demanding that , within 10 days from the date that the letter is received, it provide sufficient equipment, materials and labor to ensure completion of the work within the contract time .

If the contractor fails to provide an acceptable schedule or fails to perform satisfactorily a second time prior to the completion of the contract, the bonding company will be notified appropriately. 0-72 AIR POLLUTION WATCH DAYS The Contractor shall be required to observe the following guidelines relating to working on City construction sites on days designated as "AIR POLLUTION WATCH DAYS ". Typically, the OZONE SEASON , within the Metroplex area, runs from May 1, through OCTOBER 31, with 6:00 a.m. -10 :00 a.m. being critical BECAUSE EMISSIONS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO BAKE IN THE HOT ATMOSPHERE THAT LEADS TO EARLY AFTERNOON OZONE FORMATION .. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality {TCEQ), in coordination with the National Weather Service , will issue the Air Pollution Watch by 3 :00 p.m . on the afternoon prior to the WATCH day. On designated Air Pollution Watch Days, the Contractor shall bear the responsibility of being aware that such days have been designated Air Pollution Watch Days and as such shall not begin work until 10 :00 a .m. whenever construction phasing requires the use of motorized equipment for periods in excess of 1 hour. However, the Contractor may begin work prior to 10:00 a .m. if use of motorized equipment is less than 1 hour, or if equipment is new and certified by EPA as "Low Emitting ", or equipment burns Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), diesel emulsions , or alternative fuels such as CNG . If the Contractor is unable to perform continuous work for a period of at least seven hours between the hours of 7 :00 a .m . -6:00 p.m., on a designated Air Pollution Watch Day, that day will be considered as a weather day and added onto the allowable weather days of a given month. 05/01/08 SC-56 I I ..J PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS D-73 FEE FOR STREET USE PERMITS AND RE-INSPECTIONS A fee for street use perm its is in effect.

GENERAL Scope. This section describes manhole testing to effectively confirm the watertight integrity of existing manholes following structural ,infiltration and inflow ·related repairs and that the appearance of the work is acceptable. · Description : Infiltration may be observed in manhole defects at manhole walls, pipe seals or bench/trough areas. Infiltration related repairs are intended to eliminate leakage of groundwater into manholes. Inflow may be observed in manhole defects at manhole frames, covers, frame seals, grade adjustments, grade adjustment seals, corbels, or walls. Inflow related repairs are intended to eliminate sources of surface water entry that become active during rainfall events. Structural repairs may be required when making 1/1 related manhole repairs. Structural repairs may include defects in any manhole components but not displaying 1/1. Testing, Observations and Guarantee Periods: The testing required shall be performed by the Contractor at locations designated by the Engineer and documented to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Any new or rehabilitated manholes that are observed to be leaking by the Engineer during periods of high groundwater or during inflow conditions shall be subject to additional repairs. The Contractor shall be responsible for all additional repairs required on these unsatisfactory manholes during the guarantee period . All manhole rehabilitation work shall be warranted to be free of defects and of good workmanship for a minimum of three (3) years from the date of final acceptance of the project. Any manhole repairs completed by the Contractor which fail during the warranty period shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the City at no additional cost to the City. B. MA TE RIALS -Not specified. C . EXECUTION Infiltration Testing~ All interior coated manholes and all partial replacement manholes shall be observed (tested) by the Contractor in the presence of the Engineer for sources of infiltration . Observations will be made during high groundwater conditions, wherever possible. Manholes shall be tested after installation with all connections (existing and/or proposed) in place. Drop-connections and gas sealing connections shall be installed prior to testing . The lines entering the manhole shall be temporarily plugged with the plugs braced to prevent them from being drawn into the manhole. The plugs shall be installed in the lines beyond drop-connections , gas sealing connections, etc. The test head shall be placed inside the frame at the top of the manhole (so that 7/3/2.008 ASC-20 PART DA -ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS the manhole frame seal is tested) and inflated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. A vacuum of 10 inches of mercury shall be drawn, and the vacuum pump will be turned off. With the valve closed, the level of vacuum shall be read after the required test time. If the drop in the level is less than 1-inch of mercury (final vacuum greater than 9-inches of mercury), the manhole will have passed the vacuum test. After a successful test, the temporary plugs will be removed. The required test time is determined from Table I. Table I MINIMUM TIME REQUIRED FOR A VACUUM DROP OF 1" H9 (10"H9 -9"H 9 ) (SEC) DEPTH OF M.H . 48-lnch Dia . 60-lnch Dia. (FT.)

T=8 sec. **For all Manholes over 18 feet in depth, add 'T' seconds as shown for each respective diameter for each two feet of additional depth of manhole to the time shown for that 18 foot depth. [Example: A 30 (thirty) foot deep, 48 (forty-eight) inch Manhole Total Test Time would be 75.0 seconds. 45.0+6(5.0)=75.0 seconds] (Values listed above are extrapolated from ASTM C924-85). Manhole vacuum levels observed to drop greater than 1-inch of mercury (Final vacuum less than 9- inches of mercury) will have failed the test and will require additional rehabilitation . The Contractor shall make the necessary repairs to the already completed rehabilitation work at no additional compensation. If the failure of the vacuum test is determined to be due to preexisting conditions not on the manhole rehabilitation schedule for that manhole, this additional work may be authorized by the Owner's Representative. After completion of the additional rehabilitation the manhole shall then be re-tested as described above until a successful test is made. Only one payment for manhole vacuum testing will be made on each manhole. Vacuum testing is required on all manholes having interior rehabilitation . Inflow Testing : All partially rehabilitated manholes shall be dyed water tested unless the manhole has successfully passed the vacuum test. Manholes shall be dyed water tested in the presence of the Engineer. The dye test shall consist of applying a concentrated dye solution around the manhole frame. Dyed water shall be applied for at least ten minutes. Manholes observed to be actively leaking greater than one drip per five seconds will have failed the test and will not be acceptable. Manholes failing the test will require additional rehabilitation by the Contractor at no additional compensation . Other Testing : One ( 1) rehabilitated manhole will be randomly selected for further testing . A laboratory selected by the City will take core samples of wall sections of manholes with wall coatings. Testing of the core 71312008 ASC-21 PART DA -ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS samples will be done to evaluate material thickness, compressive strength, flexural strength and slant shear bond strength . The following are the minimum required strengths for cementitious and non-cementitious wall coatings: Compressive Strength .
