been determined to be bonafide minority or women businesses by the North Central Texas Regional Certification
Agency (NCTRCA), or the Texas Department of Transportation (TX DOT), highway division. Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise(DBE) is synonymous with Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE).
If hauling services are utilized, the prime will be given credit as long as the M/WBE listed owns and
operates at least one fully licensed and operational truck to be used on the contract. The M/WBE may lease
trucks from another M/WBE firm, including M/WBE owner-operators, and receive full MNVBE credit. The
MNVBE may lease trucks from non-MNVBEs, including owner-operators, but will only receive credit for the

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

reroute configurations posted as "Typicals" on the City's Buzzsaw website. Although work will not
begin until the traffic control plan has been reviewed and approved, the Contractor's time will begin
r" in accordance with the timeframe mutually established in the 'Notice to Proceed' issued the
Contractor.
The Contractor will not remove any regulatory sign, instructional sign, street name sign or other
sign, which has been erected by the City. If it is determined that a sign must be removed to permit
required construction, the Contractor shall contact the Transportation and Public Works
Department, Signs and Markings Division, (Phone Number 817-392-7738) to remove the sign. In
the case of regulatory signs, the Contractor must replace the permanent sign with a temporary
sign meeting the requirements of the above-referenced manual and such temporary sign must be
.. installed prior to the removal of the permanent sign. If the temporary sign is not installed correctly
or if it does not meet the required specifications, the permanent sign shall be left in place until the
temporary sign requirements are met. When construction work is completed to the extent that the
permanent sign can be reinstalled, the Contractor shall again contact the Signs and Markings
Division to reinstall the permanent sign and shall leave his temporary sign in place until such
reinstallation is completed.
Work shall not be performed on certain locations/streets during "peak traffic periods" as

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. �.

In the event the Contractor requires that a water valve on an existing live system be turned off and
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

D-69 ADDITIONAL SUBMITTALS FOR CONTRACT AWARD
The City reserves the right to require any pre-qualified contractor who is the apparent low bidder(s)
s for a project to submit such additional information as the City, in sole discretion may require,
including but not limited to manpower and equipment records, information about key personnel to
be assigned to the project, and construction schedule, to assist the City in evaluating and
assessing the ability of the apparent low bidder(s) to deliver a quality product and successfully
complete projects for the amount bid within the stipulated time frame. 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-70 EARLY WARNING SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTION
Time is of the essence in the completion of this contract. In order to insure that the contractor is
ow 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
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 will 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
"' 02/09/2010 SC-55
PART D - SPECIAL CONDITIONS

contract time. In the event the contractor receives such a letter, the contractor shall
provide to the City an updated schedule showing how the project will be completed
within the contract time.
2. The Project Manager and the Directors of Water Department, and Department of
Transportation and Public Works will be made aware of the situation. If necessary, the
City Manager's Office and the appropriate city council members may also be informed.
3. Any notice that may, in the City's sole discretion, be required to be provided to
interested individuals will distributed by the Water Department's Public Information
Officer.
4. Upon receipt of the contractor's response, the appropriate City departments and

necessary, then forward updated notices to the interested individuals.
5. 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.
D-71 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.

width of 24-inches of overlap for each joint. Temporary pinning of the textile to help
hold it in place until the rock riprap is placed. The temporary pins shall be removed as
the riprap is placed to relieve high tensile stress which may occur during placement of
material on the geotextile. The specified placement procedure requires that the length
of the geotextile be greater than the actual slope length. The Contractor shall adjust
the actual length of the geotextile used based on initial installation experience. The
geotextile shall be protected at all times during construction from contamination by
surface runoff and any geotextile so contaminated shall be removed and replaced with
uncontaminated geotextile. Any geotextile damaged during its installation or during
placement of riprap shall be replaced by the Contractor at no cost to the Owner. The
work shall be scheduled so that the covering of the geotextile with a layer of the
.. specified material is accomplished within seven (7) calendar days after placement of
the geotextile. Failure to comply shall require replacement of geotextile. The
geotextile shall be protected from damage prior to and during the placement of rock
riprap. Before placement of gabion units, the Contractor shall demonstrate that the
placement technique will prevent damage to the geotextile. In no case shall any type
of equipment be allowed on the unprotected geotextile.
3. RIPRAP PLACEMENT: Stone for riprap shall be placed on the filter fabric blanket in
such a manner as to produce a reasonably well graded mass of rock with the
minimum practicable percentage of voids and shall be constructed within the specified
tolerance to the lines and grades shown on the drawings. Then intent of these
specifications is to require placement of riprap to the thickness shown and to allow
isolated stones to extend as much as six inches above grade. Riprap shall be placed
.w to its full course thickness at one operation and in such a manner as to avoid
displacing the fabric. The larger stones shall be well distributed and the entire mass
of stones in their final position shall conform to the gradation specified hereinbefore.
The finished riprap shall be free from objectionable pockets of small stones and
clusters of larger stones. The desired distribution of the various sizes of stones
throughout the mass shall be obtained by selective loading of the material at the
ow quarry or other source, by controlled dumping of successive loads during final placing,
or by other methods of placement which will produce the specified results.
Rearranging of individual stones, by mechanical equipment.or by hand will be required
to the extent necessary to obtain a reasonably well graded distribution of stone
specified above. The Contractor shall maintain the riprap protection until accepted.
Any material displaced by any cause shall be replaced at his erosion to the lines and
grades shown on the Drawings.
4. GROUT PLACEMENT: Grout shall be composed of cement, water and air-entraining
admixture and sand mixed in the proportions of 1 part of Portland cement to 3 parts of
.. sand, sufficient water to produce a workable mixture, and that amount of admixture
which will entrain sufficient air to produce durable grout, as determined by the
ENGINEER. Sand for grouting shall conform to the requirements of paragraph: FINE
.. AGGREGATE. The grout shall be mixed in a concrete mixer in the manner specified for
concrete except that the time of mixing shall be increased to that necessary to produce a
mixture having a consistency such as to permit gravity flow into the interstices of the
riprap with the help of limited spading and brooming. The grout shall be used in the
work within a period of one (1) hour after mixing. Retempering of ground will not be
10/23/08 ASC-19
PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
permitted. Riprap shall not be grouted when the ambient temperature is below 35
degree F. or above 95 degrees F. unless approved by the ENGINEER in writing; nor
when the grout, without special protection, is likely to be subjected to freezing
temperatures before final set has occurred. Prior to grouting, all surfaces of riprap shall
be wetted. The riprap shall be grouted in successive longitudinal strips, approximately
10 feet in width, commencing at the lowest strip and working up the slope. Grout shall
be brought to the place of final deposit by approved means, and in no case will grout be
permitted to flow on the riprapped surface a distance in excess of 10 feet. Immediately ..
after dumping the batch of grout, it shall be distributed over the surface of the strip by
the use of brooms and the grout worked into place between stones with suitable spades,
trowels, or vibrating equipment. As a final operation, the grout shall be removed from
the top surfaces of the upper stones and from pockets and depressions in the surface of
the stone protection. After completion of any strip as specified, no workman or any load
shall be permitted on the grouted surface for a period of at least 24 hours. The grouted
surface shall be protected from rain, flowing water, and mechanical injury. The surface
of all grouted riprap shall be cured by keeping the surface continuously wet for a period
of not less than 7 days. _
