SW-1. OVERALL PROJECT GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of Fort Worth plans to conduct a
program to dredge the Lake Worth reservoir, and to dispose of these dredged materials
offsite. It is the intent of the City to dredge the reservoir in two phases, with this project
being Phase I,
The Contractor shall provide all materials, equipment, personnel, pumping, piping, and
all other items necessary to perform the Phase I dredging and disposal services. The
Contractor shall subcontract with Silver Creek Materials, in accordance with the City's
pre-purchase agreement with them, to provide disposal services, and Silver Creek
Materiais shall be subject to the Contractor. The Contractor is responsible for all scope
of work for disposal and adherence to the disposal specification requirements, including
ail work by Silver Creek Materials. These disposal services shall be provided at the unit
prices bid by Silver Creek Materials in accordance with the pre-purchase agreement.
The "Specifications and Documents for Lake Worth Dredging Program Dredge
Material Disposal Pre-Purchase Agreement — May 2011" and the Letter of
Agreement with Silver Creek Materials shall be incorporated herein as if written in
their entirety, and complied with.
If accepted by the City, the Contractor may utilize a belt press rapid dewater disposal
method. The Contractor will be required to either dispose of all materials at the Silver
Creek Materials site or dispose of all materials by rapid dewater method (if accepted by
the City).
B. DREDGING LOCATIONS AND VOLUMES: The construction plans show and detail the
areas that are to be dredged with this project, including both base bid and alternate bid
locations. The dredge excavation shall be to the lines and grades indicated in the
construction plans.
Volumes for measurement and payment quantities for both dredging and disposal shall
be defined by in-lake pre-dredge and post-dredge soundings of the lake floor surface,
These soundings will be perFormed by the City on a monthly basis. The measurement
and payment volume will therefore be the volume of space between the pre-dredge lake
floor surFace and post-dredge lake floor surface. However, no over-excavation below
the 584' finished grade elevation indicated in the construction plans shall be
considered for pay volume.
Although bulking and consolidation factors may need to be considered by the Contractor
for construction means and methods, those factors will not be considered with the
measurement and payment quantities.
A summary of the anticipated dredge volumes (per volume definition above) for each
area follows. Final calculated volumes may be different based upon the bathometric
surveys:

DREDGE MATERIALS CHARACTERIZATION: Chemical and geotechnical studies of
the soil materials to be dredged have been conducted. The full reporfs for these studies
are in separate documents, but will be provided to bidders.
The chemical characterization study of the sediment revealed that the materials tested
appear to be suitabie for disposal and beneficiai reuse. However, results of the chemical
and geotechnical tests oniy apply to the material tested, and at the time it was tested,
No expressed or implied interpretation of the results for materials outside the test
locations is intended by the studies. The Contractor shall satisfy himself as to the
adequacy of the test resuits for his construction purposes, and shall be responsible for
any and all other tests necessary to charac#erize the whole of the dredge materials for
dredging and disposal purposes. The City may perForm various characterization tests of
the dredged materials throughout the construction project; however, this in no way
relieves the Contractor of the testing requirements.
The geotechnical study provides analysis of physical characteristics of soils sampled in
the proposed dredge areas. These properties are used to determine bulking,
consolidation, and settlement characteristics of the dredged materials. it has been
determined by this testing that some of the dredge areas are in sediment materiais that
have settled out in the areas after the lake was constructed, and some of the dredge
areas are in native ground materials that existed prior to construction of the lake.
The subsurface soils at the site generally consist of a mix of very soft to stiff low and
high plasticity clays, sandy clays, and silty sandy clays, and very loose to dense sands
and clayey sands.
The dredging and excavation operations will encounter other non-soil materials that shall
be removed. These may include trash, debris, trees, logs, stumps, roots, root masses,
minor vegetation, rock, gravel, and structures. The City anticipates that some logs and
stumps that are low in the lake will not be removed, and the Contractor will be required
to coordinate with the City which stumps and logs to remove.

existing sewers and connections shall be ]cept in service and
maintained under the Contract, except when specified or ordered
to be abandoned by the Engineer. All water, sewage, and other

any construction work, he shall make complete and satisfactory
arrangements with the Fort Worth City Water Department for so
doing.

Contractor from a connection on an existing City main. All
piping required beyond the point of delivery shall be installed

the opin.ion of the Engineer, any sectian or portion of the work
or any structure is in suitable condition, it may be put into
use upon the written order of the Engineer, and such usage shall

structure or any part thereof or as a waiver of any of the
provisions of these Contract Documents. All necessary repairs
and removals of any section of the work so put into use, due to
defective materials or workmanship, equipment, or to deficient
operations on the part of the Contractor, shall be preformed by
the Contractor at his own expense.

C7-7 PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
SECTION C7-7 PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
C7-7.1 SUBLETTING: The Contractor shall perform with his own
organization, and with the assistance of workmen under his
immediate superintendence, work of a value of not less than
fifty (50a) percent of the value embraced in the contract. If
the Contractor sublets any part of the work to be done under
these Contract Documents, he will not under any circumstances be
relieved of the responsibility and obligation assumed under
these Contract Documents. All transactions of the Engineer will
be with the Contractor. Subcontractors will be considered only
in the capacity of employees or workmen of the Contractor and
shall be subject to the same requirements regarding character
and competency. The Owner will not recognize any subcontractor
on the work. The Contractor shall at all times, when the work
is in operation, be represented either in person or by a
superintendent, or other designated representative.
C7-7.2 ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT: The Contractor shall not assign,
transfer, sublet, convey, or otherwise dispose of the contract
or his rights, title, or interest in or to the same or any part
thereof without the previous consent of the Owner expressed by
resolution of the City Council and concurred in by the Sureties.
If the Contractor does, without such previous consent, assign,
transfer, sublet, convey, or otherwise dispose of the contract
or his right, title, or interest therein or any part thereof, to
any person or persons, partnership, company, firm or
corporation, or does by bankruptcy, voluntary or involuntary, or
by assignment under the insolvency laws of any state, attempt to
dispose of the contract may, at the option of the Owner be
revoked and annulled, unless the Sureties shall successfully
complete said contract, and in the event of any such revocation
or annulment, any monies due or to become due under or by virtue
of said contract shall be retained by the Owner as liquidated
damages for the reason that it would be impracticable and
extremely difficult to fix the actual•damages.
C7-7.3 PROSECUTION OF THE WORK: Prior to beginning any
construction operation, the Contractor shall submit to the
Engineer in five or more copies, if requested by the Engineer, a
progress schedule preferably in chart or diagram form, or a
C'1-7 (1)
brief outlining in detail and step by step the manner of
prosecuting the work and ordering materials and equipment which
he expects to follow in order to complete the project in the
scheduled time. There shall also be submitted a table of
estimated amounts to be earned by the Contractor during each
monthly estimate period.
The Contractor shall commence the work to be performed under
this contract within the time limit stated in these Contract
Documents and shall conduct the work in a continuous rnanner and
with sufficient equipment, materials, and labor as is necessary
to insure its completion within the time limit.
The sequence requested of all construction operations shall be
at all times as specified in the Special Contract Documents.
Any deviation from such sequencing shall be submitted to the
Engineer for his approval. Contractor shall not proceed with
any deviation until he has received written approval from the
Engineer. Such specification or approval by the Engineer shall
not relieve the Contractor from the full responsibility of the
complete performance of the Contract.
The contract time may be changed only as set forth in Section
C7-7.8 "Extension of Time of Completion" of this Agreement, and
a progress schedule shall not constitute a change in the
contract time.
C?-7.4 LTMITATIONS OF OPERATIONS: The working operations shall
at all times be conducted by the Contractor to create a minimum
amount of inconvenience to the public. At any time when, in the
judgment of the Engineer, the Contractor has obstructed or
closed or is carrying on operations in a portion of a street or
public way greater than is necessary for the proper execution of
the work, the Engineer may require the Contractor to finish the
section on which operations are in progress before the work is
commenced on any additional section or street.
C7-7.5 CHARACTER OR WORKMEN AND EQUIPMENT: Local labor shall be
used by the Contractor when it is available. The Contractor may
bring in from outside the City of Fort Worth his key men and his
superintendent. All other workmen, including equipment
operators, may be imported only after the local supply is
exhausted. The Contractor shall employ only such
superintendents, foremen, and workmen who are careful,
competent, and fully qualified to perform the duties or tasks
assigned to them, and the Engineer may demand and secure the
C7-7 (2)
summary dismissal of any person or persons employed by the
Contractor in or about or on the work who, in the opinion of the
Owner, shall misconduct himself or be found to be incompetent,
disrespectful, intemperate, dishonest, or otherwise
objectionable or neglectful in the proper performance of his or
their duties, or who neglects or refuses to comply with or carry
out the directions of the Owner, and such person or persons
shall not be employed again thereon without written consent of
the Engineer.
All workmen shall have sufficient skill, ability, and experience
to properly perform the work assigned to them and operate any
equipment necessary to properly carry out the performance of the
assigned duties.
The Contractor shall furnish and maintain on the work all such
equipment as is considered to be necessary for prosecution of
the work in an acceptable manner and at a satisfactory rate of
progress. All equipment, tools, and machinery used for handling
materials and executing any part of the work shall be subject to
the approval of the Engineer and shall be maintained in a
satisfactory, safe and efficient working condition. Equipment -
on any portion of the work shall be such that no injury to the
work, workmen or adjacent property will result from its use.
C7-7.6 WORK SCHEDULE: Elapsed working days shall be computed
starting with the first day of work completed as defined in Cl-
1.23 "WORKING DAY" or the date stipulated in the ��WORK ORDER"
for beginning work, whichever comes first.
Nothing in these Contract Documents shall be construed as
prohibiting the Contractor from working on Saturday, Sunday or
Legal Holidays, providing that the following requirements are
met:
a. A request to work on a specific Saturday, Sunday or
Legal Holiday must be made to the Engineer no later
than the Thursday preceding.
b. Any work to be done on the project on such a specific
Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday must be, in the
opinion of the Engineer, essential to the timely
completion of the project.
The Engineer's decision shall be final in response to such a
request for approval to work on a specific Saturday, Sunday or
, C7-7 (3)
Legal Holiday, and no extra compensation shall be allowed to the
Contractor for any work performed on such a specific Saturday,
Sunday or Legal Holiday.
Calendar Days shall be defined in C1-1.24 and the Contractor may
work as he so desires.
C7-7.7 TIME OF COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION: The Contractor
shall commence the working operations within the time specified
in the Contract Documents and set forth in the Work Order.
Failure to do so shall be considered by the Owner as abandonment
of the Contract by the Contractor and the Owner may proceed as
he sees fit.
The Contractor shall maintain a rate of progress such as will
insure that the whole work will be performed and the premises
cleaned up in accordance with the Contract Documents and within
the time established 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 the
time of completion be requested such request will be forwarded
to the City Council for approval.
In adjusting the contract time for completion of work,
consideration will be given to unforeseeable causes 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, s�rikes, 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 �ime 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 requested by the Engineer indicates that
the contractor has made a bona fide 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.
c�-� (4)
If satisfactory execution and completion of the contract should
require work and materials in greater amounts 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 information or material, if any,
which is to be furnished by the City. When such extra
compensation is claimed, 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 application for which shall,
however, be subject to the approval of the City Council; and no -
such extension of time shall release the Contractor or the
surety on his performance bond from all his obligations
hereunder which shall remain in full force until the discharge
of the contract.
C7-7.10 TTME OF COMPLETION: The time of completion is an
essential element of the contract. Each bidder shall indicate
in the appropriate place on the last page of the Proposal the
number of working days or calendar days that he will require to
fully complete this contract or the time of completion will be
specified by the City in the Proposal section of the contract
documents.
The number .of days indicated shall be a 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 completion
specified in the Contract Documents.
For each calendar day that any work shall remain 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
C7-7 (5)
schedule, unless otherwise specified in other parts of the
Contract Documents, will be deducted from monies due the
Contractor, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages suffered
by the Owner.

The parties hereto understand and agree that any harm to the
City caused by the Contractor's delay in completing the work
hereunder in the time specified by the Contract Documents would
be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, and that
the "Amount of Liquidated Damages Per Day", as set out above, is
a reasonable forecast of just compensation due the City for harm
caused by any delay.
C7-7.11 SUSPENSION BY COURT ORDER: The Contractor shall suspend
operations on such part or parts of the work ordered by any
Court, and will not be entitled to additional compensation by
virtue of such Court Order. Neither will he be liable to the
City in the event the work is suspended by a Court Order.
Neither will the Owner be liable to the Contractor by virtue of
any Court Order or action for which the Owner is not solely
responsible.
C7-7.12 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION: The Owner shall have the right to
suspend the work operation wholly or in part for such period or
periods of time as he may deem necessary due to unsuitable
weather conditions or any other unfavorable conditions which in
the opinion of the Owner or Engineer cause further prosecution
of the work to be unsatisfactory or detrimental to the interest
of the project. During temporary suspension of work covered by
this contract, for any reason, the Owner will make no extra
payment for stand-by time of construction equipment and/or
construction crews.
C7-7 (6)
If it should become necessary to suspend work for an indefinite
period, the Contractor shall store all materials in such manner
that they will not obstruct or impede the public unnecessarily
nor become damaged in any way, and he shall take every
precaution to prevent damage or deterioration of the work
performed; he shall provide suitable drainage abou� the work,
and erect temporary structures where necessary.
Should the Contractor not be able to complete a portion of the
project due to causes beyond the control of and without the
fault or negligence of, the Contractor as set forth in Paragraph
C7-7.8 EXTENSION OF THE TIME OF COMPLETION, and should it be
determined by mutual consent of the Contractor and the Engineer
that a solution to allow construction to proceed is not
available within a reasonable period of time, then the
Contractor may be reimbursed for the cost of moving his
equipment off the job and returning the necessary equipment to
the job when it is determined by the Engineer that construction
may be resumed. Such reimbursement shall be based on actual
cost to the Contractor of moving the equipment and •no profit
will be allowed.
No reimbursement shall be allowed if the equipment is moved to
another construction project for the City of Fort Worth.
The Contractor shall not suspend work without written notice
from the Engineer and shall proceed with the work operations
promptly when notified by the Engineer to so resume operations.
C7-7.13 TERMINATION OF CONTRACT DUE TO NATIONAL EMERGENCY:
. Whenever, because of National Emergency so declared by the
President of the United States, or other lawful authority, it
becomes impossible for the Contractor to obtain all of the
necessary labor, materials, and equipment for the prosecution of
� the work with reasonable continuity for a period of two months,
the Contractor shall, within seven days, notify the City in
writing giving a detailed statement of the efforts which have
been made and listing all necessary items of labor, materials,
and equipment not obtainable. Zf, after investigation, the
Owner finds that such conditions exist and that the inability of
� the Contractor to proceed is not attributable in whole or in
part to the fault or neglect of the Contractor, then if the
Owner cannot after reasonable effort assist the Contractor in
procuring and making available the necessary labor, materials
and equipment within thirty days, the Contractor may request the
C7-7 (7)
Owner to terminate the contract and the Owner may comply with
the request, and the termination shall be conditioned and based
upon a final settlement mutually acceptable to both the Owner
and the Contractor and final payment shall be made in accordance
with the terms of the agreed settlement, which shall include,
but not be limited to, the payment for all work executed but no
anticipated profits on work which has not been performed.
C7-7.14 SUSPENSION OR ABANDONMENT OF THE WORK AND ANNULMENT OF
CONTRACT: The work operations on all or any portion or section
of the work under Contract shall be suspended immediately on
written order of the Engineer or the Contract may be declared
cancelled by the City Council for any good and sufficient cause.
The following, by way of example, but not of limitation, may be
considered grounds for suspension or cancellation:
a. Failure of the Contractor to commence work operations
within the time specified in the Work Order issued by
the Owner.
b. Substantial evidence that progress of the work
operations by Contractor is insufficient to complete
the work within the specified time.
c. Failure of the Contractor to provide and maintain
sufficient labor and equipment to properly execute the
working operations.
d. Substantial evidence that the Contractor has abandoned
the work.
e. Substantial evidence that the Contractor has become
insolvent or bankrupt, or otherwise financially unable
to carry on the work satisfactorily.
f. Failure on the part of the Contractor to observe any
requirements of the Contract Documents or to comply
with any orders given by the Engineer or Owner
provided for in these Contract Documents.
g. Failure of the Contractor to promptly make good any
defect in materials or workmanship, or any defects of
any nature the correction of which has been directed
in writing by the Engineer or the Owner.
C7-7 (8)
h. Substantial evidence of collusion for the purpose of
illegally procuring a contract or perpetrating fraud
on the City in the construction of work under
contract.
i. A substantial indication that the Contractor has made
an unauthorized assignment of the contract or any
funds due therefrom for the benefit of any creditor or
for any other purpose.
j. If the Contractor shall, for any cause whatsoever,
fail to carry on the working operation in an
acceptable manner.
k. If the Contractor commences legal action against the
Owner.
A copy of the suspension order or action of the City Council
shall be served on the Contractor's Sureties. When work is
suspended for any cause or causes, or when the contract is
cancelled, the Contractor shall discontinue the work or such
part thereof as the Owner sha11 designate, whereupon the
Sureties may, at their option, assume the contract or that
portion thereof which the Owner has ordered the Contractor to
discontinue, and may perform the same or may, with the written
consent of the Owner, sublet the work or that portion of the
work as taken over, provided however, that the Sureties shall
exercise their option, if at all, within two weeks after the
written notice to discontinue the work has been served upon
consent of the Owner, sublet the work or that portion of the
work as taken over, provided however, that the Sureties shall
exercise their option, if at all, within two weeks after the
written notice to discontinue the work has been served upon the
Contractor and upon the Sureties or their authorized agents.
The Sureties, in such event shall assume the Contractor's place
in all respects, and shall be paid by the Owner for all work
performed by them in accordance with the terms of the Contract
Documents. All monies remaining due the Contractor at the time
of this default shall thereupon become due and payable to the
Sureties as the work pragresses, subject to all of the terms of
the Contract Documents.
' In case the Sureties do not, within the specified time, exercise
their right and option to assume the contract responsibilities,
or that portion thereof which �he Owner has ordered the
C7-7 (9)
Contractor to discontinue, then the Owner shall have the power
to complete, by contract or otherwise, as it may determine, the
work herein described or such part thereof as it may deem
necessary, and the Contractor hereto agrees that the Owner shall
have the right to take possession of and use any materials,
plants, tools, equipment, supplies, and property of any kind
provided by the Contractor for the purpose of carrying on the
work and to procure other tools, equipment, materials, labor and
property for the completion of the work, and to charge to the
account of the Contractor of said contract expense for labor,
materials, tools, equipment, and all expenses incidental
thereto. The expense so charged shall be deducted by the Owner
from such monies as may be due or may become due at any time
thereafter to the Contractor under and by virtue of the Contract
or any part thereof. The Owner shall not be required to obtain
the lowest bid for the work completing the contract, but the
expense to be deducted shall be the actual cost of the owner of
such work.
In case such expenses shall exceed the amount which would have
been payable under the contract if the same had been completed
by the Contractor, then the Contractor and his Sureties shall
pay the amount of such excess to the City on notice from the
Owner of the excess due. When any particular part of the work
is being carried on by the Owner by contract or otherwise under
the provisions of this section, the Contractor shall continue
the remainder of the work in conformity with the terms of the
Contract Documents and in a manner that does not hinder or
interfere with performance of the work by the Owner.
C7-7.15 FULFILLMENT OF CONTRACT: The Contract will be
considered as having been fulfilled, save as provided in any
bond or bonds or by law, when all the work and all sections or
parts of the project covered by the Contract Documents have been
finished and completed, the final inspection made by the
Engineer, and the final acceptance and final payment made by the
Owner.
C7-7.16 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE OF THE OWNER:
A. NOTICE OF TERMINATION: The performance of the work
under this contract may be terminated by the Owner in
whole, or from time to time in part, in accordance
with this section, whenever the Owner shall determine

Owner. Any such termination shall be affected by
C7-'7 (l0)

termination, the Contractor shall submit his
termination claim to the Engineer in the form and with
the certification prescribed by the Engineer. Unless

within such 60-day period or authorized extension
thereof, any and all such claims shall be conclusively
deemed waived.
D. AMOUNTS: Subject to the provisions of Item C7-7.16
(C), the Contractor and Owner may agree upon the whole
or any part of the amount or amounts to be paid to the
contractor by reason of the total or partial
termination of work pursuant hereto; provided, that

total contract price as reduced by the amount of
payments otherwise made and as further reduced by the
contract price of work not terminated. The contract
shall be amended accordingly, and the Contractor shall
be paid the agreed amount. No amount shall be due for
lost or anticipated profits. Nothing in C7-7.16(E)
hereafter, prescribing the amount to be paid to the

Contractor and the Owner to agree as provided in C7-
7.16 (D) upon the whole amount to be paid to the

EXHIBIT A
REVISED SW-2- SCOPE OF WORK
D. DREDGED MATERIAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS:
1. The Contractor shall conduct dredged materiai testing, as described in
this section, in order to verify that dredged material is suitable for
unrestricted beneficial reuse.
2. The Contractor shall collect one sample of material per every 25,000
cubic yards of lake sediment to be dredged. This testing shall be
performed in situ by the Contractor. Sample locations shall be collected
from each of the Sediment Removal Areas described in Item SW-1:6 of
this specification with the number of samples collected from each area
determined by the estimated volume of sediment to be dredged from
each area.
3. Samples shall be analyzed for the following chemicals of concern (COCs)
by the appropriate SW-846 method that meets Texas Risk Reduction
Program (TRRP) data quality requirements:
a. Priority pollutant metals
1. Antimony
2. Arsenic
3. Beryllium
4. Cadmium
5. Chromium
6. Copper
7. Lead
8. Nickel
9. Selenium
10. Silver
11. Thallium
12. Zinc
13. Mercury
b. Chlorinated Herbicides
c. Organochlorine Pesticides
4. Samples shall be collected in accordance with standard professional
practice for environmental sampling using containers provided by the
laboratory in a manner that prevents cross-contamination of samples.
5. Samples shall be analyzed by a NELAC-accredited environmental
laboratory acceptable to the City. Results shall be submitted to the City
for review and evaluation.
6. The City will compare sample results to previous sampling results
documented in the Lake Worth Dredging Project Sediment
Characterization Report (dated April 2011), protective concentration limits
(PCLs) and Texas-specific background concentrations established under
the TRRP (Title 30, Chapter 350 of the Texas Administrative Code) for
residential land use. Statistical comparisons consistent with those used
in the Lake Worth Sediment Characterization Report may be utilized.
7. If any COCs exceed their groundwater protection PCL and their Texas-
specific background concentration (applies to metals only), the Contractor
shall immediately notify the City and conduct additional analysis of those
samples for the elevated COCs by the Synthetic Precipitation Leaching
�_ake Worth Dredging Contract-Phase 1 13 of 14
' ;RR Execution Copy 051112
Procedure (SPLP). SPLP results shall be compared to PCLs for
groundwater ingestion. The Contractor shall immediately notify the City
' of results from SPLP testing. If SP�P results are below PCLs for
groundwater ingestion, the sediment from which those samples originated
will be considered acceptable for unrestricted reuse.
8. The Contractor shall provide copies of all laboratory analytical results to
the City for record files within 7 days of the date the Contractor receives
those results from the laboratory.
9. The City shall determine if any proposed dredging areas contain sediment
' that is unacceptable for unrestricted reuse. If such areas are found, the
City may perform additional sampling in those areas to further define the
extent of unacceptable sediment. �ocations confirmed to contain
sediment that is not suitable for unrestricted reuse will be removed from
i this scope of work.
10. The City shall provide the Contractor with a written evaluation of sample
results for the Contractor's concurrence, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

important Notice: The time for the submission of Bids has been changed to Thursdav, October 13,
2011, 1:00 pm.
The location for the submission of Bids is unchanged.
The following additions, deletions, modifications, or clarifications shall be made to the appropriate
sections of the Contract Documents. Bidders shall acknowledge receipt of this Addendum in the space
provided on the Bid form.
PRE-BID MEETING
The following questions and answers occurred at the pre-bid meeting on Thursday, September 15, 2011
and the follow-up site visit to Silver Creek Materials that same day. A copy of the sign-in sheet is
attached for reference.
1. Question: Will a maintenance bond be required?
Answer: A maintenance bond wil► not be required. Bid bond, performance bond, and payment
bond will be required. Siiver Creek Materials' agreement does not require them to provide bid,
performance and payment bonds to the General Contractor. The General Contractor shall be
responsible for providing bid, performance and payment bonds for all work included in this
project, including that of Silver Creek Materials, �
2. Question: Who owns the water in the lalce and the return water that will be returning from the
disposal site to the lake?
Answer: The City of Fort Worth owns the actual lake structure, but the Tarrant Regional Water
District owns the water.
3. Question: Have there been any changes made to the disposal site contract?
Answer: No changes have been made to that agreement. However, the City Attorney is lool<ing
at some of the pricing commitment letter language to address ownership of the material by
Silver Creel< Materials once it has been delivered to them. No substantive impact on the
dredging contract is anticipated from this,
4. Question: Will the City of Fort Worth accept responsibility and liability if the General
Contractor cannot reach the required sub-contractual agreement with Silver Creek Materials?
Answer: The City will review this further and provide a response with Addendum #1.
5. Question: Can the City include a bid item for stand-by rate, to be used if the City requires the
Contractor to stand down from work for a reason (such as elevated air quality alert status or
sediment contamination) other than Contractor's non-compliance with the contract documents,
or if Silver Creek Materials causes a delay in the dredging operations?
Answer: The City will consider this and provide a response in Addendum #1.
6. Question: The specification indicates that the General Contractor will not be paid for any over-
excavation below elevation 584; does that same limitation apply to payment to Silver Creek
Materials for disposal?
Answer: The Silver Creek Materials disposal pay quantity requirements will be reviewed and a
response will be provided with Addendum #1.
7, Question: Will the City allow a plus or minus 6" finished grade elevation tolerance, with
reference to the 584 elevation finished grade?
Answer: The City is agreeable with doing this, and will provide specific language for this in
Addendum #1.
8. Question: Can a report of the stump locations/removal that occurred with the pilot dredging
project be made available for bidders?
Answer: The City will find out what information is available, and post it on CivCast and Buzzsaw
as soon as possible.
9. Question: Can a 50' wide by 4'-5' water depth channel be dredged to provide for lake access
forthe dredge barge?
Answer: The City will review this further and provide a response with Addendum #1.
10. Question: Can the bid date be moved back?
Answer: The bid date will be moved back two weeks.
11. Question: The 65 dB/40 dB noise limitation may exclude the use of diesel pumps; can the
limitation be raised to 85 dB/65 de, or can best management practice be used? Also, where will
the noise level be measured?
Answer: The City will review this further and provide a response with Addendum #1.
12. Question: The length of pipEline indicated in the bid form appears to be different than in the
plans, please clarify.
Answer: The City will review this further and provide a response with Addendum #1.
13. Question: Since the type and extent of rock that might be encountered on the project is not
known at this time, can that bid item be removed, and can it be handled by change order if and
when encountered during dredging?
Answer: The City is agreeable with doing this, and this will be accomplished with Addendum #1.
14. Question: Can the current Letter of Permission application to the Corps of Engineers be posted
for bidders to access?
Answer: Yes, this will be posted on CivCast and Buzzsaw as soon as possible.
15, Question: Can the length of required turbidity curtain be provided?
Answer: Yes, this information will be provided with Addendum #1.
16. Question: Who will be responsible for moving the dredged material around within the Silver
Creek Materials disposal site as needed?
Answer: The specifications for dredge disposal requires that Silver Creek Materials' earthwork
contractor perform this activity; however, it is the General Contractor's responsibility to
lengthen and shorten the dredge material delivery pipeline as needed throughout the duration
of the project.
17. Question: When was the last bathymetric survey of the dredge areas performed7
Answer: In 2009.
18. Question: It was mentioned in the pre-bid meeting that the deadline for submitting pre-
qualification documentation is 7 days prior to bid opening, but the ADDITIONAL SPECIAL
INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS indicates 14 days prior to bid opening. Please clarify.
Answer: The deadline for submitting pre-qualification documentation is 7 days prior to bid
opening,
19. Question: The contract documents require a 5% retainage; is Silver Creek Materials also
required to comply with the 5% retainage? If not, can the portion of the General Contractor's
5% retainage related to the disposal bid items be waived?
Answer: Silver Creek Materials' agreement does not require them to comply with the 5%
retainage. However, the General Contractor is still required to comply with the 5% retainage for
all bid items, including the disposal bid items.
GENERAL
1. With regard to Question #4 under the "PRE-BID MEETING" section above: Except for the case of
implementation of the rapid dewater/belt-press disposal option, the requirement for the
General Contractor to enter into a sub-contractual agreement with Silver Creek Materials for
disposal remains. Failure by the General Contractor to enter into this sub-contractual
agreement will be failure to comply with the contract documents, and the City of Fort Worth will
maintain the right to withdraw the award of construction contract to this General Contractor
and to consider award to the next lowest bidder.
Section 2— Front End Documents
1. Specification 2.4A — Additional Special Instructions to Bidders, A.1 second paragraph — Delete
"at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the date of bid opening. The Water Department
may request any other documents it may deem necessary. Any additional documents so
requested shall be submitted to the Director of the Water Department or his designated
representative at least seven (7) calentlar days prior to the date of the opening bids." and
replace with "at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the date of bid opening."
2. Specification 2.6 —Scope of Work and Detailed Project Specifications,_ SW-1 B, second paragraph
— Delete "However, no over-excavation below the 584' finished grade elevation indicated in the
construction plans shall be considered for pay volume," and replace with "The target finished
grade elevation, as indicated in the plans, is 584'. However, a tolerance of plus or minus 6
inches is allowed, such that an actual field finished grade elevation between elevations 583,5
and 584.5 is acceptable. No over-excavation below 583.5' finished grade elevation shall be
considered for pay volume."
3. Specification 2.6 —Scope of Work and Detailed Project Specifications, SW-2 B.12 — Delete "The
ambient noise level from any machinery or equipment shall not exceed 65 dB during the day
(7:00 a.m, to 7:00 p.m,) and shall not exceed 40 d6 during the night (7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.),"
and replace with "The day-night noise level, Ldn, from any machinery or equipment shall not
exceed 65 dB measured at the nearest affected residential building or church. Ldn shall be the
average of noise measurements tal<en over a 24-hour period at the affected building. A
standard 10 d6 amount shall be added to each noise level measured during the night period
before the 24-hour average is computed. The night period shall be considered as 10 p.m, to 7
a.m. Measurements shall be based upon one measurement per hour during the 24-hour period.
The City of Fort Worth will perform the noise level measurements."
4. Specification 2.6 —Scope of Work and Detailed Project Specifications, SW-2 B.13 — Delete that
item in its entirety and replace with "Contractor shall provide and utilize a turbidity curtain in
the lake at the areas of active excavation to prevent silt plumes into the lake. The turbidity
curtain shall be a minimum length of 350', and shall be positioned to minimize turbidity
migration into the lake, and shall be moved as needed as the dredge barge is repositioned.
Section 4 — Bid Package
1. Replace the Bid Form and Bid Item Description in their entirety with the attached Bid Form and
Bid Item Description.
2. Bid Item 12 "Excavation and removal of rock or miscellaneous concrete within the dredging
areas" is removed from the Bid Form and Bid Item Description, and replaced with Bid Item 12
"Standby Time". Payment for removal of rock or miscellaneous concrete encountered during
dredging shall be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Gravel, sand and native ground material
are still considered incidental to the dredging bid items. Bidder shall provide a unit price bid for
"Standby Time" on a cost per hour basis, and use of this item shall be strictly limited to the cases
defined in the Bid Item Description.
3. With regard to Question #12 under the "PRE-BID MEETING" section above: Quantity estimates
for Bid Items 18 and 19 have been corrected for expected field conditions. Bid Item 18 provides
for dredge material delivery pipeline quantity from the lal<e's edge (elevation 594' contour) to
the west end of the disposal site. eid Item 19 provides for return water delivery pipeline
quantity from the return water delivery point/pump station at the Silver Creek Materials site to
the lake's edge (elevation 594' contour�. Quantity for Bid Item 19 allows some flexibility in the
final location of the return water delivery pump station. These pipeline bid items provide for
payment for a one-time installation of the pipelines. Adjustment of the lengths and locations of
these lines as needed by the General Contractor and disposal site operations shall be at no
additional cost to the City.
4. Bid Items 17 and 22, Dredge Material Disposal at Silver Creek Materials Site — Clarification:
Payment to the General Contractor for disposal will be based upon the finished field grade
excavated to between elevations 583.5 and 584.5. No payment to the General Contractor for
disposal of material that is over-excavated below elevation 583.5 will be made. However, the
Silver Creek Materials disposal agreement does not include this over-excavation limitation. The
General Contractor shall be responsible for payment to Silver Creek Materials for disposal of any
materials over-excavated below elevation 583.5, at the General Contractor's own expense.
Construction Plans
1. A dredged floatation channel for dredge barge and other cbnstruction watercraft access to the
lake will be allowed at the allowable staging area adjacent to Casino Beach. Location and limits
are as indicated in the attached Figure 1, This proposed floatation channel is currently under
review by the Corps of Engineers; however, bidder shall assume the proposed channel shown at
this time. Notification of adjustment requirements by the Corps of Engineers will be provided,
and negotiation for any required additional cost will occur at that time.

The following additions, deletions, modifications, or clarifications shall be made to the appropriate
sections of the Contract Documents. Bidders shail acknowledge receipt of this Addendum in the space
provided on the Bid form.
The following questions were submitted by a prospective bidder. Answers to these questions are
provided below. The original document submitted by the prospective bidder is also attached for reference
to the images that were provided.
1, Question: Will the contractor be aliowed to utilize the existing creek to run slurry and
return water pipelines as shown below (see attached document from prospective
bidder)7
Answer: The proposed Letter of Permission (LOP) from the Corps of Engineers does not
allow for pipeline routing in that location. The pipelines must be aligned within the
pipeline corridor indicated in the plans.
Question: Will the contractor be allowed to utilize the area shown below as "Contractor
Proposed Staging Area" to place a booster pump (see attached document from
prospective bidder)?
Answer: The proposed Letter of Permission (LOP) from the Corps of Engineers does not
allow for the pump station to be located there. The pump station must be iocated
within one of the atlowed staging areas indicated in the plans.
3. Question: The specifications are unclear regarding the maximum size or number of
borings that are allowed under Silver Creek Road. Please clarify the maximum size
and/or number of borings that will be allowed to pass beneath Silver Creek Road.
Answer: Two borings with steel casing pipes and carrier pipes will be needed, one for
the dredged materials delivery pipeline and one for the return water pipeline. The size
of the casings will depend upon the Contractor's selection of pipeline sizes, in tandem
with the bore/casing detail that is in the specifications. The carrier pipeline sizing is left
up to the individual contractor, since the flow rates will vary with each contractor.
If additional smaller pipes are required for the Contractor's operations, additional
bores/steel casing pipes can be installed, or the smaller pipes can be installed through a
single steel casing pipe, as tong as the appropriate multi-pipe spacers are provided
(subject to Fort Worth Water Departments approved products list).
4. Question: Are X and Y coordinates available for the locations of the stumps in the
"Stump lnfo" folder?
Answer: Approximate Latitude/Longitude coordinates are available for several of the
stumps, but not all of them. The ones that are available are attached, and the numbers
correspond to the stump numbers indicated in the previous stump information provided
to the bidders. It wili be the Contractor's responsibility to verify actual locations of
stumps.
Question: The pipeline route in pink is depicted in the plans as the designated pipeline
corridor(see attached document from prospective bidder). Will the contractor be
allowed to utilize the blue path shown below in lieu of the designated corridor as long as
the pipeline is bridged over or bored under the creek?
Answer: The proposed Letter of Permission (LOP) from the Corps of Engineers does not
allow for pipeline routing in that location. The pipelines must be aligned within the
pipeline corridor indicated in the plans.
The following questions were submitted by a prospective bidder. Answers to these questions are
provided be{ow.
1. Question: Regarding the bored crossing underneath Silver Creek Road, the
specifications state that, "all pipe shall be laid to grade as shown on the plans." The
plans do not have a required minimum depth for the caissons. Please clarify.
Answer: The depth of the casings shall be a minimum of 5-feet below ground surface to
top of steel casing pipe. The Contractor shall field verify the locations of existing utilities
and other features, and shall adjust the elevation of the casings lower if needed to avoid
conflicts with existing utilities or other features.
Question: Will the Fort Worth Water Department amend the liquidated damages?
Answer: Liquidated damages criteria and rate will remain as currently indicated in
Specifications Part DA—Additional Special Conditions, Item DA-82.

Subject: RE: Lake Worth Stump Removal Table
Aaron,
There was no plan to remove s[umps from Area B so we did not geo-locate items in Area B this past sprino. I have attached Table B-1
finm the orieinal 2009 Lal:e Worth Swvey Report done for FNL Radier than a l meter circular error probable (CEP) the locations
providzd here are more like 3 meters CEP. Flowever, you will note that Area B has very few stumps except very close to Ihe shore
line (water depth less than 2 feet) which we did not survey. In 2009 we ���ere looking for potential obstructions to dredgin� wliich we
defined as larger stumps (typically>6 inches in diameter), logs (typically>6 inches in diameter and longer than 6 feet) and otlier
objects. The table attached is for the `°objects of interesP', that is obstructions ro dredging and otlier intecestina objects such as bure(s.
You will note in the Table that there were very few stumps in Area B. Area B is basically the old river channel in an area where the
river bottom �vas wide, shailow and with a hard shelf base covered by a thin layer of silt and sand. Most of the objecls in Area B are
logs but there is a significant amount of debris from die 9 Milz Bridge wnstructed in 1922. I did a fair amount of research on these
structures after tve found them in our side scan survey in 2009 and we even dove on them. The bridge was cons[tvcted of equally
spaced concrete and masonry suppoi�ts (about 30). Counting from the west shore a lattice steel bridge spanned behveen pilin�s 10 and
I 1 as was of a more robust s[ructure with a facing of rock and concrete similar to the abuhnents, die west of which is visible just north
oY the Casino Beach boat ramp. I talked to a former construction company owner who operated in the vicinity in the 1930's. He did
not work on the project to demolish the brid�e bu[ did watch [he work and did other bridge demolition projec[s in [he area in the
1930's and 40's. Fle confidentiy advised me that they worked from barges and pulled the pilinas up one at a time and disposed of
them. When the piling could not be removed in this manner they took the barge and pushed the pilin� over and they would lay flat on
the bottom. This is coosistent widi whaf tve found in our survey. It nppears diat sonte 8 to I S of d�e pilin�s were pushed over or were
broken up and pushed over. I do not think you are dredging iu [he area of the old brid�z but if you are this will definitely cause some
problems for the dred�er. Tl�e brid�e was demolished between 1929 and 1931 but I canno[ contirm when more precisely. Tlie pilings
protrude from the bottom about I.5 feet and generally rest at a bottom elevation of about �33' or deeper.
