SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
1) PREOUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: All contractors submitting bids are required to be

statement, an acceptable experience record, an acceptable equipment schedule and any other
documents the Department may deem necessary, to the Director of the Water Department at least
seven (7) calendar days prior to the date of the opening of bids.
a) 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 financial status to the
submitting company. This statement must be current and not more than one (1) year old. In the
case that a bidding date falls within the time a new statement is being prepared, the previous
statement shall be updated by proper verification.
b) For an experience record to be considered to be acceptable for a given project, it must reflect the
experience of the firm seeking qualification in work of both the same nature and technical level
as that of the project for which bids are to be received.
c) The Director of the Water Department shall be the sole judge as to the acceptability for financial
qualification to bid on any Fort Worth Water Department project.
d) Bids received in excess of the bid limit shall be considered non-responsive and will be rejected as
such.

inadvertently opened, shall not be considered.
g) The City will attempt to notify prospective bidders whose qualifications (financial or experience)
are not deemed to be appropriate to the nature and/or magnitude of the project on which bids are

PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS
D-67 REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF ASBESTOS CEMENT PIPE
A. 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.
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 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. 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

Practices and Erosion 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:
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Storm Water & General Permits Team; MC-228
P.O . Box 13087

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

on to accommodate the construction of the project, the Contractor must coordinate this activity
through the appropriate City representative. The Contractor shall not operate water line valves of
existing water system . Failure to comply will render the Contractor in violation of Texas Penal
Code Title 7, Chapter 28 .03 (Criminal Mischief) and the Contractor will be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law. In addition, the Contractor will assume all liabilities and responsibilities as a
result of these actions .
06120/08 SC-55

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

2258. Such prevailing wage rates are included in these contract documents.
(b) Penalty for Violation. A contractor or any subcontractor who does not pay the
prevailing wage shall, upon demand made by the City, pay to the City $60 for
each worker employed for each calendar day or part of the day that the worker is

This penalty shall be retained by the City to offset its administrative costs,
pursuant to Texas Government Code 2258.023.
(c) Complaints of Violations and City Determination of Good Cause. On receipt of

Statutes) if the contractor or subcontractor and any affected worker do not resolve
the issue by agreement before the 15th day after the date the City makes its initial
determination pursuant to paragraph ( c) above. If the persons required to arbitrate
under this section do not agree on an arbitrator before the 11th day after the date
that arbitration is required, a district court shall appoint an arbitrator on the
petition of any of the persons. The City is not a party in the arbitration. The
decision and award of the arbitrator is final and binding on all parties and may be

"GENERAL NOTES"
1. All channelizing devices shall be in accordance with the current edition of the Texas Manual
on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
2. All Traffic Control Devices shall have working visible warning lights as required in
accordance with the current edition of TMUTCD .
3. For Temporary Situations, when it is not feasible to remove and restore pavement
markings, channelization must be made dominant by using a very close device spacing.
This is especially important in locations of conflicting information, such as where traffic is
directed over a double yellow centerline. In such locations , channelizing device spacing of
1 O feet is required. ·
4. For Long Term Stationary work, all conflicting pavement markings must be removed and
centerline striping provided where two way traffic is in adjacent lanes.
5. Contractor shall provide sidewalk closure, crosswalk closure and/or walkway bypass
wherever pedestrian movements are affected by construction activities. All sidewalks and
crosswalks shall be accessible when contractor is not working unless otherwise approved by
the City Traffic Engineer.
6. The use of trailer mounted ARROW DISPLAYS may be required on all lane closures . The
contractor shall provide one ( 1) stand-by unit in good working condition at the job site, ready
for use, if his operation requires 24-hour a day closure set-ups and if requ ired .
7. City Traffic Engineer and/or Inspectors may require additional traffic control devices .

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT
WATER AND SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
SUNRISE ADDITION
FORT WORTH, TEXAS
INTRODUCTION
The project consists of replacing the water and sewer lines beneath Burger Street in Fort Worth,
Texas . In addition, the pavement between 3000 and 3100 Burger Street will be replaced. The
general location and orientation of the site is shown on the Boring Location Diagram, Plate A.1,
in the Appendix section of this report.
The principal purposes of this investigation were to evaluate the general soil conditions at the
proposed site . To accomplish its intended purposes, the study was conducted in the following
phases: (1) drill sample borings to evaluate the soil conditions at the boring locations and to
obtain soil samples; (2) conduct laboratory tests on selected samples recovered from the
borings to establish the · pertinent engineering characteristics of the foundation soils; and (3)
perform engineering analyses, using field and laboratory data, to develop design criteria for the
lift station .
FIELD OPERATIONS AND LABORATORY TESTING
Soil conditions were determined by a total of four bo rings drilled to a depth of 20 feet below
surface grade at selected locations along Burger Street. The borings were drilled in February
2008 and their locations are shown on Plate A.1 . Bulk samples were also obtained from Bo ring
8-3 for further testing to comply with City of Fort Worth paving design specifications . Sample
depth , description of soils, and classification (based on the Unified Soil Classification System)
are presented on the Logs of Borings, Plates A.2 through A.5. Keys to terms and symbols used
on the logs are shown on Plates A.6 and A.7 .
Laboratory soil tests were performed on selected samples recovered from the borings to verify
visual classification and determine the pertinent engineering properties of the soils encountered .
Classifications test results are presented on the Logs of Borings . Swell tests were performed
and the results are presented on Plate A.8.
Descriptions of the procedures used in the field and laboratory phases of this study are
presented in the Appendix of this report.

GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS
Subsurface Soil Conditions
Geologically the site is located within the Pawpaw, Weno Limestone and Denton Clay
formations, mapped as undivided. Descriptions of the various strata and their approximate
depths and thickness are shown on the boring logs. A brief summary of the stratigraphy
indicated by the borings is given below.
Following the existing concrete or asphalt paving, Borings B-1 and B-4 generally encountered
dark brown and brown clay to depths of about 9Yz to 10 feet. The clay was underlain by tan
limestone to depths of about 15 feet and 16Yz feet. The borings then encountered gray
limestone to the termination depth of 20 feet. In Borings B-2 and B-3, the auger advanced
through existing concrete and asphalt paving at the surface followed by brown clayey sand to
depths of about 5 feet. In Boring 8-2, the clayey sand was underlain by clay to a depth of about
15 feet. In Boring B-3, the clayey sand was underlain by a layer of sandy clay to a depth of
about BYz feet, followed by clay to a depth of about 12 feet. The borings then encountered tan
limestone to a depth of about 16 feet, followed by gray limestone to the termination depth of 20
feet. In all borings, the clays contained limestone fragments .
The Plasticity Index of the clay samples tested ranged from 14 to 29, indicating low to high soil
plasticity. A high Plasticity Index is generally associated with a high potential for soils to swell
and shrink with changes in moisture .
Groundwater
The borings were advanced using auger drilling and intermittent sampling methods in order to
observe groundwater seepage levels. Groundwater was not encountered during drilling of the
borings and the boreholes appeared dry at completion of drilling .
Future construction activities may alter the surface and subsurface drainage characteristics of
this site . It is difficult to accurately predict the magnitude of subsurface water fluctuations that
might occur based upon short-term observations. Also, the lack of groundwater seepage in the
borings does not necessarily indicate the groundwater level is below the depth of the. borings.
From our experience with these formations, groundwater seepage can be encountered at
various depths in and above the limestone.
Project No. 07-13876 Page 2

ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Seismicity Site Class
The site class for seismic design is based on several factors that include soil profile (soil or
rock), shear wave velocity, density, relative hardness, and strength , averaged over a depth of
100 feet. The borings for this project did not extend to a depth of 100 feet; therefore , we
assumed the soil conditions below the depth of the deepest boring to be similar to those
encountered at the termination depth of this boring. Based on Section 1615.1 .1 of the 2000
International Building Code, we recommend using Site Class C (very dense soil and soft rock)
for seismic design at this site .
Potential Vertical Soil Movements
Potential Vertical Movement calculations were performed in general accordance with the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Method 124-E . The TxDOT 124-E method is empirical
and is based on the Atterberg limits and moisture content of the subsurface soils . Swell test
results were also considered.
The Potential Vertical Rise (PVR) calculated using the referenced method and the conditions
described above ranges from about 2 to 2% inches at this site. Based ori our experience, vertical
movements 4% inches or less, are generally acceptable for slab foundations.
Excavation Considerations
All excavations should be sloped, shored, or shielded in accordance with OSHA requirements .
For excavations exceeding 5 feet in depth, the use of trench boxes or shoring and bracing will
be required. Based on information provided, it appears most excavations at th is site should be
20 feet or less in depth. Any excavations exceeding 20 feet in depth must be designed by a
licensed engineer experienced in that type of work.
Limestone was encountered in the borings at depths of about 9% feet to 15 feet. Excavation in
this material may require rock teeth, rippers, saw cutting or jack hammering. The contractor
selected should be experienced in rock excavation in the Pawpaw, Weno Limestone and
Denton Clay formations.
Project No. 07-13876 Page 3

J
The bottom of the trench should be protected against disturbance and deterioration by
completing the utility pipe installation and backfilling operations as quickly as possible . The
excavation bottom should be sloped to allow any water infiltration into the excavation to be
collected at a convenient location for removal. Water should not be allowed to accumulate on
the bearing area .
Groundwater was not observed during the drilling of the borings during this study. However, if
excessive groundwater is encountered during excavation , dewatering to bring the groundwater
below the bottom of the excavation may be required . Dewatering could consist of standard
sump pits and pumping procedures , which may be adequate to control seepage on a local basis
during excavation .
Trench Bedding and Backfill
The subgrade and bedd ing for storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water lines should conform to
City of Fort Worth or other appropriate standards .
Underground utility conduits should not be placed in the presence of groundwater. All water
should be removed prior to utility placement to provide a dry, firm bed, and should be
maintained in a dewatered condition until all concrete and mortar is set and the excavation
backfilled . If the foundation excavation will remain open for more than one day , consideration
should be given to protecting the foundation bearing surface with a lean concrete mudmat or
layer of crushed aggregate .
Materials to be used for trench fill should conform to the requirements described below in the
"Recommendations for the Placement of Controlled Earth Fill" section of this report .
Pavement Design Recommendations
The following comments are ge neral in nature and do not reflec t specific City of Fort Worth
specifications. Further testing of bulk samples are incomplete at this time and once completed ,
we will provide a more detailed pavement design for the replacement of Burger Street paving .
If asphalt concrete (AC) pavement is used , we recommend a full depth AC section having a
minimum total thickness of 5.0 inches for automobile parking areas and 6.5 inches for drive
lanes receiving light to medium size trucks. A minimum surface course thickne$S of 2 inches is
recommended for AC pavements . The AC surface course should conform to Type D and the
Project No . 07-13876 Page 4
' i
--L
J
_ I

base course should conform to Type A or B in Item 340 of the TxDOT Standard Specifications.
The coarse aggregate in the surface course should be crushed limestone rather than gravel.
The subgrade for all AC pavements should be lime-treated as described in the "Pavement
Subgrade Preparation" section of this report below.
If Portland cement concrete is used, a minimum thickness of 5 five inches is recommended for
parking areas for automobiles and light trucks, and 6 inches for drive lanes and areas subjected
to light to medium truck traffic. A minimum 7-inch section is recommended in areas receiving
frequent heavy trucks and dumpsters. Concrete with a minimum 28 day compressive strength
of 3,500 pounds per square inch should be used . Lime treatment of the subgrade would be
beneficial to the long-term life of the PCC pavement and can improve constructability, but is not
required for PCC sections subjected to relatively light traffic conditions. Lime treated subgrade
is recommended for PCC pavements subjected to truck traffic.
Pavement Subgrade Preparation
All topsoil, vegetation, and any unsuitable materials should be removed. The pavement
subgrade should be proofrolled with a fully loaded tandem axle dump truck or similar pneumatic-
tire equipment to locate areas of loose subgrade . In areas to be cut, the proofroll should be
performed after the final grade is established . In areas to be filled, the proofroll should be
performed prior to placement of engineered fill and after subgrade construction is complete.
Areas of loose or soft subgrade encountered in the proofroll should be removed and replaced
with engineered fill, or moisture conditioned (dried or wetted, as needed) and compacted in
place.
Where lime-treatment is utilized, we recommend a minimum of 7 percent lime (by dry soil weight)
to a depth of 6 inches. Lime stabilization should be performed in accordance with Item 260,
current Standard Specifications for Construction of Highways. Streets, and Bridges, Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT) or applicable standards .
Grading and compaction of pavement subgrade should follow the recommendations in the
"Recommendations for the Placement of Controlled Earth Fill" section below. The final grades
must be such that drainage is facilitated , and access of surface water to the subgrade materials is
prevented.

Water can be introduced beneath the pavement through granular materials used for aggregate
bases and utility line embedment, and can cause differential movement in the pavement.
Aggregate base or a granular leveling course should not be used beneath pavements, and all
utilities should have clay plugs substituted for granular embedment material at the edges of the
pavement to reduce the risk of moisture access and possible swelling .
Foundation System (Future Development)
It is our understanding that the City of Fort Worth a lso desires general foundation
recommendations for the four lots along Burger Street. The lots in question are identified as
Block 10, Lots 5 and 6; Block 5, Lot 5; and Block 6, Lot 1. These structures can be designed
. with ground-supported foundations. A ground-supported foundation can consist of a
conventionally reinforced beam and slab system, or a post-tensioned slab foundation system.
The foundation should be designed with exterior and interior grade beams adequate to provide
sufficient rigidity to the foundation system to sustain the vertical soil movements expected at this
site as described above.
A net allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf) may be used for
des ign of all grade beams bearing in native soils or density controlled fill . Grade beams should
be founded a minimum of 12 inches into native materials or compacted and tested fill. The
bottom of the beam trenches should be free of any loose or soft material prior to tlie placement
of the concrete. All grade beams and floor slabs should be adequately reinforced with steel or
post-tension to minimize cracking as normal movements occur in the foundation soils .
Based on information published by The Post Tensioned Institute (PTI), recommended parameters
for foundation design at this site are as follows :
Edge Moisture Variation Distance
Center Lift
Edge Lift
Differential Swell
Center Lift:
Edge Lift:
5.3 feet
3.8 feet
3.3 inches
1.4 inches
A moisture barrier should be used beneath the slab foundation in areas where floor coverings will
be utilized (such as, but not limited to, wood flooring , tile, linoleum, and carpeting).

Site Grading
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PLACEMENT OF
CONTROLLED EARTH FILL
Site grading operations, where required, should be performed in accordance with the
recommendations provided in this report. The site grading plans and construction should strive
to achieve positive drainage.
Preparation of Site
Preparation of the site for construction operations should include the removal and proper
disposal of all obstructions that would hinder preparation of the site for construction. These
obstructions should include all abandoned structures, foundations, debris, water wells, septic
tanks and loose material. It is the intent of these recommendations to provide for the removal
and disposal of all obstructions not specifically provided for elsewhere by the plans and
spec ifications .
All concrete, trees, stumps, brush, abandoned structures, roots, vegetation, rubbish and any
other undesirable matter should bE? removed and disposed of properly. All vegetation should be
removed and the exposed surface should be scarified to an additional depth of at least 6 inches.
It is the intent of these recommendations to provide a loose surface with no features that would
tend to prevent uniform compaction by the equipment to be used .
All areas to be filled should be disked or bladed until uniform and free from large clods greater
than 4 inches in diameter. Sandy clay and clayey sand fill should be brought to within two
percentage points of optimum moisture content and sand fills should be brought to a workable
moisture content near optimum. Each fill layer should be compacted to between 95 and 100
percent of optimum density in accordance with the applicable ASTM D 698 Proctor.
Fill Materials
Materials to be used for general site fill should consist of on-site material approved by the Soils
Engineer. Imported fill should have a liquid limit less than 50 and should be approved by the
Soils Engineer. There should be no roots, vegetation or any other undesirable matter in the soil,
and no rocks larger than 4 inches in diameter.
Project No. 07-13876 Page7

Processed limestone for use as fill around the sewer pipe should have a maximum nominal
particle size of 4 inches, with sufficient fines to prevent nested voids in the compacted fill.
The fill material should be placed in level, uniform layers , which, when compacted, should have
a moisture content and density conforming to the stipulations called for herein. Each layer
should be thoroughly mixed during spreading to provide uniformity of the layer. The fill
thickness should not exceed 10-inch loose lifts.
Prior to and in conjunction with the compacting operation, each layer should be brought to the
proper moisture content as determined by ASTM D 698 . We recommend the clay soils and
processed limestone be moisture conditioned to a moisture content that is between optimum
and four percentage points above optimum. Sandy clay and clayey sand fill should be moisture
conditioned to within two percentage points of optimum moisture content and sand fills should
be brought to a workable moisture content near optimum . After each layer has been properly
placed, mixed and spread, it should be thoroughly compacted to between 95 and 100 percent of
Standard Proctor Density as determined by ASTM D 698.
Density Tests
Field Density tests should be made by the Soils Engineer or his representative. Density tests
should be taken in each layer of the compacted material below the disturbed surface . If the
materials fail to meet the density specified, the course should be reworked as necessary to
obtain the specified compaction.
CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATIONS
In any geotechnical investigation, the design recommendations are based on a limited amount
of information about the subsurface conditions . In the analysis, the geotechnical engineer must
assume the subsurface conditions are similar to the conditions encountered in the borings .
However, during construction quite often anomalies in the subsurface conditions are revealed .
Therefore, it is recommended that Rone Engineering Services, Ltd ., be retained to observe
earthwork and utility installation and perform materials evaluation and testing during the
construction phase of the project. This enables the geotechnical engineer to stay abreast of the
project and to be readily available to evaluate unanticipated conditions, to conduct additional
tests if required and , when necessary, to recommend alternative solutions to unanticipated
Project No. 07-13876 PageB

J
J
J
conditions. Until these construction phase services are performed by the project geotechnical
engineer, the recommendations contained in this report should be considered as preliminary .
It is proposed that construction phase observation and materials testing commence by the
project geotechnical engineer at the outset of the project. Experience has shown that the most
suitable method for procuring these services is for the owner to contract directly with the project
geotechnical engineer. This results in a clear, direct line of communication between the owner
and the owner's design engineers, and the geotechnical engineer.
REPORT CLOSURE
The analyses, conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on site
conditions as they existed at the time of the field investigation and further on the assumption
that the exploratory borings are representative of the subsurface conditions throughout the site;
that is, the subsurface conditions everywhere are not significantly different from those disclosed
by the borings at the time they were completed. If during construction, different subsurface
conditions from those encountered in our borings are observed, or appear to be present in
excavations, we must be advised promptly so that we can review these conditions and
reconsider our recommendations where necessary. If there is a substantial lapse of time
between submission of this report and the start of the work at the site, if conditions have
changed due either to natural causes or to construction operations at or adjacent to the site, or if
structure locations, structural loads or finish grades are changed, we urge that we be promptly
informed and retained to review our report to determine the applicability of the conclusions and
recommendations, considering the changed conditions and/or time lapse.
Further, it is urged that Rone Engineering Services, Ltd., be retained to review those portions of
the plans and specifications for this particular project that pertain to earthwork and foundations
as a means to determine whether the plans and specifications are consistent with the
recommendations contained in this report. In addition, we are available to observe construction,
particularly the compaction of structural fill , or backfill and the construction of foundations as
recommended in the report, and such other field observations as might be necessary.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of the City of Fort Worth Housing
department and their designated agents for specific application to design of this project. We
have used that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised under similar conditions by

FIELD OPERATIONS
Subsurface conditions were defined by four sample borings located as shown on the Boring
Location Diagram, Plate A.1 . The borings were drilled at locations staked in the field by Rone.
The borings were advanced between sample intervals using continuous flight auger drilling
procedures. The results of each boring are shown graphically on the Logs of Borings, Plates
A.2 through A.5. Sample depth, description, and soil classification based on the Unified Soil
Classification System are shown on the Logs of Borings. Keys to the symbols and terms used
on the Logs of Borings are presented on Plates A.6 and A. 7.
Relatively undisturbed samples of cohesive soils were obtained with Shelby tube samplers in
general accordance with ASTM D-1587 at the locations shown on the Logs of Borings. The
Shelby tube sampler consists of a thin-walled steel tube with a sharp cutting edge co nnected to
a head equipped with a ball valve threaded for rod connection . The tube is pushed into the
undisturbed soils by the hydraulic pulldown of the drilling rig. The soil specimens were extruded
from the tube in the field, logged, tested for consistency with a hand penetrometer, sealed, and
packaged to maintain "in situ" moisture content.
The consistency of cohesive soil samples was evaluated in the field using a calibrated hand
penetrometer. In this test a 0.25 inch diameter piston is pushed into the undisturbed sample at
a constant rate to a depth of 0.25 inch . The results of these tests are tabulated at respective
sample depths on the logs. When the capacity of the penetrometer is exceeded, the value is
tabulated as 4.5+.
The limestone encountered was evaluated with a modified version of the Texas Cone
Penetration test. Texas Department of Transportation (TX-DOT) Test Method Tex-132-E
specifies driving a 3-inch diameter cone with a 170-pound hammer freely falling 24 inches . This
results in 340 foot-pounds of energy for each blow. This method was modified by utilizing a
140-pound hammer freely falling 30 inches. This results in 350 foot-pounds of energy for each
hammer blow. In relatively soft materials, the penetrometer cone is driven 1 foot and the
number of blows required for each 6-inch penetration is tabulated at respected test depths, as
blows per 6 inches on the log . In hard materials (rock or rock-like), the penetrometer cone is
driven with the resulting penetrations, in inches, recorded for the first and second 50 blows, a
total of 100 blows. The penetration for the total 100 blows is recorded at the respective testing
depths on the boring logs .

Groundwater observations during and after completion of the boring are shown on the upper
right of the boring log. Upon completion of the boring, the boreholes were backfilled from the
top and plugged at the surface.

LABORATORY TESTING
General
Laboratory tests were performed to define pertinent engineeri ng characteristics of the soils
encountered . The laboratory tests included moisture content tests, Atterberg limits
determinations, and visual classification.
Classification Tests
Classification of soils was verified .by natural moisture content and Atterberg limits
determinations. These tests were performed in general accordance with American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) procedures. The Atterberg limits and natural moisture content
dete rminations are presented at the respective sample depths on the Logs of Borings .
Free Swell Tests
Selected samples of the near-surface cohesive soils were subjected to free swell tests. In the
free swell test, a sample is placed in a consolidometer and subjected to the estimated
overburden pressure. The sample is then inundated with water and allowed to swel l. Mo isture
contents are determined both before and after completion of the test. Test results are recorded
as the percent swell, with initial and fi na l moisture content. Free swell test results are presented
on Plate A.8 .

Re: Addendum to Geotechnical Engineering Report

Rone Project No. 07 -13876
Dear Ms. Panagopoulos:
Rone Engineering Services, Ltd. (Rone) has been requested to provide
additional recommendations and clarification regarding the concrete paving for
the referenced project. This letter presents our revised recommendations and
should be considered an addendum to Rene's Geotechnical Engineering
Report 07-13876 dated February 14, 2008. This letter should not be
considered separately from the geotechnical report. The recommendations
provided below assume a Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement
thickness of 6 inches.
As discussed in our original report, we recommended a minimum of 7 percent
lime to a depth of 6 inches for pavement subgrades. This equates to 32
pounds per square yard of lime. As discussed in our original report, the lime is
required for all asphaltic concrete (AC) pavements and PCC subjected to
heavy truck traffic . It is not required for PCC pavements subjected to light
vehicular traffic ; however, it will improve constructability and life of the
pavement.
Reinforcing bars for PCC pavements should consist of No . 3 bars spaced at 24
inches center-to-center. All transverse joints should be spaced at a maximum
of 60 feet and sawed "dummy" joints spaced at a maximum of 15 feet.
Recommended dowel bar sizes are 0.75 inch spaced at 12 inches center-to-
center. Minimum length of dowel bars should be 18 inches except at
expansion joints where they should be a minimum of 20 inches.
