SECTION 02840 - TURF SODDING PART 2 PRODUCTS 2.01 SOD A. The sod shall be "Common Bermuda" and shall consist of stolons, leaf blades, rhizomes and roots with a healthy, virile system of dense, thickly matted roots throughout the soil of the sod for a thickness not less than one inch. Sod shall be alive, healthy and vigorous and shall be free of insects, disease, stones and undesirable foreign materials and grasses. Sod shall have been produced on growing beds of clay or clay -loam topsoil. The sod shall not be harvested or planted when its moisture condition is so excessively wet or dry that its survival will be affected. If sod is stacked, it shall be kept moist and shall be stacked roots -to -roots and grass -to -grass. 11, The sod shall be cut in strips four feet wide, or as called for on plan, to be laid parallel with the contours. 2.02 FERTILIZER A. All fertilizer shall be delivered in bags or containers clearly labeled showing the analysis. B. All fertilizer shall be in acceptable condition for distribution and shall be applied uniformly over the planted area two weeks after sodding. C. All fertilizer shall have an analysis of 3-1-2 or as designated on the plans. The fertilizer rate shall be 45 pounds of nitrogen per acre. 2.03 WATER The water shall be furnished by the Contractor and shall be clean and free of industrial wastes or other substances harmful to the germination of the seed or to the growth of the vegetation. The amount of water will vary according to the weather variables. Generally, the sod should be soaked one time per day for three weeks or until established. Soaking is mandatory after spreading the fertilizer. 2.04 COMPOST All compost material is to be totally organic and decomposed for at lease nine months. All compost is to be clean and free of fungus, disease, live plants, seed, excessive cotton lint and any harmful chemicals.

Sample and Specification Submittal: Submit a producer's specification and a quart sample of the compost proposed for the Project Manager's approval. SECTION 02840 - TURF SODDING -2- PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.01 GENERAL All turfing operations are to be executed across the slope, parallel to finished grade contours. 3.02 SOIL PREPARATION A. Scarify subgrade to a depth of three inches (3") before depositing the required topsoil. B. Tillage shall be accomplished to loosen the topsoil, destroy existing vegetation and prepare an acceptable sod bed. All areas shall be tilled with a heavy duty disc or a chisel - type breaking plow, chisels set not more than ten inches apart. Initial tillage shall be done in a crossing pattern for double coverage, then followed by a disc harrow. Depth of tillage shall be five inches. A heavy duty rototiller may be used for areas to be planted with sod. C. Cleaning: Soil shall be further prepared by the removal of debris, building materials, rubbish, weeds and stones larger than one inch in diameter. D Fine Grading: After tillage and cleaning, all areas to be planted shall be topdressed with one-half inch compost and then shall be leveled, fine graded, and drug with a weighted spike harrow or float drag. The required result shall be the elimination of ruts, depressions, humps and objectionable soil clods. This shall be the final soil preparation step to be completed before planting. 3.03 PLANTING Prior to laying the sod, the planting bed shall be raked smooth to true grade and moistened to a depth of four inches, but not to the extent causing puddling. The sod shall be laid smoothly, tightly butted edge to edge, and with staggered joints. The sod shall be pressed firmly into the sod bed by mechanical roller so as to eliminate all air pockets, provide a true and even surface, and insure knitting without displacement of the sod or deformation of the surfaces of sodded areas. Following compaction, compost shall be used to fill all cracks between sods. Excess compost shall be worked into the grass with suitable equipment and shall be well watered. The quantity of compost shall be such that it will cause no smothering or burning of the grass. 3.04 FERTILIZING Twenty-one days after 'planting, turfgrass areas shall receive an application of 3-1-2 fertilizer at the rate of 45 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Water well after application to prevent burning as per requirements indicated in Part 2 — 2.03 Water END OF SECTION SECTION 02840 - TURF SODDING - 3 - 330521-1 TUNNEL LINER PLATE Page 1 of 5 1 SECTION 33 05 21 2 TUNNEL LINER PLATE 3 PART 1- GENERAL 4 1.1 SUMMARY 5 A.

Koch to provide geotechnical services for the proposed construction of a 66-inch sanitary sewer line from north of the intersection of Old Mansfield Road and Glen Garden Drive to South of the intersection of South Riverside Drive and Briardale Road in Fort Worth, Texas. The project will consist of approximately 2,000 linear feet of sanitary • sewer installation, with a maximum invert depth of approximately 15 to 20 feet below existing grade. The purpose of this study is to perform a geotechnical investigation and provide recommendations for the design and construction of the proposed sewerline. A site vicinity map is included in Plate 1. 2.2 Geotechnical Investigation Prog am The primary objectives of this study were to gather information on subsurface conditions atthe site and to provide recommendations for sewerline. The objectives were accomplished by: 1. Drilling three (3) soil borings to determine soil stratigraphy and to obtain samples for laboratory testing; 2. Performing laboratory tests to determine physical and engineering characteristics of the soils; and 3. Performing engineering analyses to develop design guidelines and recommendations. Subsequent sections of this report contain descriptions of the field exploration, laboratory -testing program, general subsurface conditions, design recommendations, and construction considerations. 3 FIELD INVESTIGATION 3.1 Geotechnical Borings The field exploration program undertaken at the project site was performed on February 28, 2013. Subsurface conditions were investigated by drilling three borings (B-1, B-2 and B-4) to a depth of approximately 20 to 25 feet below the existing ground surface. Boring B-3 was not made due to the limited accessibility. A site plan showing the approximate boring locations is presented on the Plan of Borings, Plate 3. 3.2 Sampling Methods Soil samples were obtained continuously to a depth of approximate 10 feet, and at 5-foot intervals thereafter to the maximum termination depths. Cohesive soil samples were obtained with a three- inch thin -walled (Shelby) tube sampler in general accordance with ASTM D-1587 standard. Granular cohesionless soils were sampled with the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampler in accordance with ASTM D1586 standard. Each sample was removed from the sampler in the field, carefully examined and then classified. The shear strength of the cohesive soils was estimated by a hand penetrometer in the field. Suitable portions of each sample were sealed and packaged for transportation to our laboratory. Rock encountered was augured continuously to the maximum termination depth and evaluated with TxDOT cone penetrometer test. TxDOT cone penetrometer test was performed at approximately 5-foot intervals in the bedrock to the termination depths of approximately 20 and 25 feet. The test consists of driving a 3-inch diameter cone with a 170-pound hammer, which is dropped for a 1 distance of 2 feet. The cone is seated and driven to 12 blows or 12 inches whichever comes first. Then it is driven for two consecutive 6-inch increments, and the blow counts for each increment are noted. In hard materials, the cone is driven with the resulting penetration in inches recorded for the 50 blows. The numbers of blows for each 6-inch increment and/or the amount of penetration for each 50 blows are presented on the boring logs. Detailed descriptions of the soils and rocks encountered in the borings are given on the boring logs presented in Plates. 4 through 6. Keys to the terms and .symbols used for soil and rock classification on the boring logs are presented on Plates 7A & 7B. 4 LABORATORY '1'i STING Selected soil samples were tested in the laboratory to determine applicable physical and engineering properties. All tests were performed according to the relevant ASTM Standards. These tests consisted of moisture content measurements, pocket penetrometer, Percent Passing No. 200 Sieve, Atterberg Limits, unconfined compression, and unit dry weight. The Atterberg limits and percent passing number 200 sieve tests were utilized to verify soil classification by the Unified Soils Classification, System, and the unconfined compression tests were performed to obtain the undrained shear strength of the soil. The type and number of tests performed for this investigation are summarized below: Type of Test Number of Tests Moisture Content (ASTM D2216) 20 Atterberg Limits (ASTM D4318) 9 Percent Passing No. 200 Sieve (ASTM D1140) 9 Pocket Penetrometer 26 Unconfined Compression Soil (UC) (ASTM D 2166) 4 Unit Dry Weight (ASTM D 2166/2850) 4 The laboratory test results are presented on the boring logs presented on. Plates 4 through 6. A summary of the laboratory testing results is also included in Appendix A. 5 SITE CHARACTERIZATION 5.1 General Geology According to the 1988 University of Texas at Austin, Bureau of Economic Geology "Geologic Atlas Sheet of Texas Dallas Sheet," the project site area is described as being in the area of Pawpaw Formation, Weno Limestone and Denton Clay undivided (map symbol Kpd). Pawpaw formation consists of claystone, mudstone and sandstone. Claystone and mudstone, massive, slightly seleriitic. Sandstone, fine to very fine grained, platy. Weno limestone :consists of upper limestone, middle alternating clay and limestone, . and lower limestone units. ' Denton Clay mainly consists of alternating clay, marl, and limestone, total limestone in unit remains constant as amount of clay and marl varies. Alluvium deposits consist of gravel, sand, silt, and clay: contiguous terraces of different ages separated by solid line. Geology map are presented on Plates 2. 2 5.2 Soil Stratigraphy Our interpretation of soil and groundwater conditions at the project site is based on information obtained at the boring locations only. This information has been used as the basis for our conclusions and recommendations. Significant variations at areas not explored by the project boring may require reevaluation of our findings and conclusions. Subsurface conditions encountered during our field activity are summarized in the following table. Stratum Types Encountered Approximate Depths of Strata Encountered at Borings Stratum Type () B-1 B-2 B-4 Fill(l) - 0-1 Sandy, Lean/Fat 0-11 1-20.5 0-5 Clay(2) 8-17 Clayey Sane) 5-8 Weathered Shale(4) 11-15.5 20.5-21(6) 17-23 Unweathered ShaleM 15.5-25M 23-25( Note: (1) Fill material was encountered only at boring B-2. (2) -Generally, stiff to`hard; occasionally, with sand, calcareous nodules, and limestone fragments. (3) Compact, w/ limestone seams. Clayey sands were encountered between clay layers only at boring B-4. (4) Soft, weathered shale, fissile, with occasional limestone fragments. (5) „Soft to very hard, unweathered shale w/occasional limestone layer, fissile. (6) Boring termination depths Details of the subsurface stratigraphy encountered in the borings are shown on the boring logs presented on Plates 4 through 6. Key to the terms and symbols used on the boring logs is presented on Plates 7A & 7B. 5.3 Groundwater Conditions Groundwater was observed at approximate depths ranging between 13 and 19 feet at borings B-2 and B-4 respectively, during the drilling operations, and at approximate depths ranging between 11 and 17 feet after the drilling operations. Groundwater was not observed at boring B-1 during the drilling operations. However, it should be noted that groundwater levels will fluctuate with seasonal changes in moisture conditions. 3 6 UTILITY DESIGN CRITERIA AND RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 General The project will involve construction of approximately 2,000 linear feet of storm sewer installation, with a maximum invert depth of approximately 15 to 20 feet below existing grade. All lines will be installed using open -cut and/or augering techniques. Our analyses and recommendations for open cut and/or augering techniques are presented below. 6.2 Geotechnical Parameters Geotechnical design parameters are presented in the following table.. Design parameters given in the table are based on field and laboratory test data obtained at boring locations only and at the approximate invert depth. It must be noted that because of the nature of the soil stratigraphy at this site, parameters at locations away from the borings may vary substantially from values reported in the following table: Boring Approximate No. Invert Depth (ft) B-1 B-2 B-4 5-7 7-11 11-16 16-25 5-13 13-20 20-21 5-8 8-17 17-23 23-25 Soil Description Very stiff to hard Lean Clay Very tiff Sandy Clay Weathered Shale Soft to hard Shale Very stiff to hard Lean Clay Stiff Sandy Clay Weathered Shale Compact Clayey Sand Very stiff Lean Clay Weathered Shale Very hard Shale 125 125. 125 125 125 135 Total Unit Weight (pcf) 125 125 125 135 Undrained Shear Strength (psi) or Friction Angle (deg) • 2,500 2,000 1,500 6,300 125 2,000 1,500 1,500 32° 1,500 1,500 6,300 Allowable Bearing Pressure (psf) 4,000 3.300 2,500 >10,000 3,300 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 >10,000 The values shown in the above table represent our interpretation of the soil properties based on the available laboratory and field test data. Use of the soil properties shown above may or may not be appropriate for a particular analysis, since choice of design parameters often depends on whether total:or effective stress analysis is used; rate of loading, duration of loading, geometry of loaded area, and other factors. The total unit weight values shown above represent our interpretation of soil unit weight at natural moisture content. The undrained shear strength and allowable bearing pressure values represent our interpretation of .the shear strength in clayey soils based primarily on the results. of unconfined compression tests,hand penetrometer tests and TxDOT cone penetrometer test. The friction angle and allowable bearing pressure were computed in sandy soils based primarily on the results of Standard Penetration Test (SPT). The allowable bearing pressures include a factor of safety of 3. Pipe Design. The loads imposed on underground pipes depend principally upon the method of installation, the weight of overburden soils, roadway traffic load, and loads due to existing surface 4 structures. For design of rigid pipes installed using open -cut excavation methods, loads due to overburden and traffic can be determined from Plate 9. The: traffic load applied to the pipe can be calculated using 85% of wheel load with an impact factor of 1.5 for one foot of soil cover, 50% of wheel load with an impact factor of 1.35 for 2 feet of cover, and 30% of wheel load with an impact factor of 1.15 for. 3 feet of cover. This results in a total design traffic load on the pipe or box culvert of about 1.28, 0.68 and 0.35 times the wheel load for 1, 2 and 3 feet of cover, respectively. For pipes or box culvert with four or more feet of cover, the traffic loads may be taken as a surcharge equivalent to 250 psf. The design of flexible pipes requires the modulus of soil reaction of the native soil (E„') in the trench wall as input. The E„' values are based on empirical relationships to the soil consistency as defined by unconfined compression tests for cohesive soils. E„' values for the native soils are presented in the following table. The E„' values for short-term conditions in cohesive soils may be assumed to be 1.5 times the long-term values. These values are based on the soil data obtained at the boring locations only and may be used for the noted invert depth zone.

Based on the soil borings, it can be expected that sandy clay, lean clays, clayey sands, weathered shale, or soft to very hard shale will be encountered within the bedding zone. We recommend that pipe bedding be in accordance with Item 504.2.2 and backfill be in accordance with Item 504.6 of North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) standard specification and/or City of Fort Worth standard specifications. Compact bedding and backfill material should be laid in 8-inch lifts to 95% of the maximum density, as measured by ASTM D 698. The bottom of the excavation should be dry before the placement of the pipe. If required, we recommend groundwater control be implemented, if required, to achieve stable trench conditions and a satisfactory foundation base. The excavations should be performed with equipment capable of providing a relatively clean bearing area. Stable soils are essential to provide a strong base during construction. In addition, stable soils enhance trench bottom stability, support for bedding compaction, and minimize possible pipe settlement. Whenever soft foundation soils are encountered during trench excavation we recommend over -excavating 3 feet below the base of the foundation and replacing with on -site soils compacted to at least 95% of maximum dry density in loose lifts not exceeding 8 inches. 5 The pipes should be installed in a bedding envelope. Bedding materials selected for the project may include pea gravel, uncrushed gravel, crushed gravel, crushed stone, stone screenings, and natural/manufactured sand. Based on ASTM C1479M, these materials are expected to fall in category I consisting of well graded sand (SW); poorly graded sand (SP), well graded gravel (GW), or poorly graded gravel (GP). We also recommend flowable fill be used where the groundwater level is above the proposed invert depth. During placing flowable fill, dewateting should be performed to maintain the bottom of excavation dry. ASTM C 1479 categorizes soil into four different groups based on which one can determine if that soil can be used as bedding, embedment or backfill material for rigid and/or semi -rigid pipes. This information is presented in Table below and can be generalized for both rigid and flexible pipes. Soil Categories as per ASTM C1479M Soil Category USCS Classifications Category I Category II Category III Category IV SW, SP, GW, GP GM, GC, SM, SC with more than 12% fines CL, ML, CL-ML with more than 30% retained on 75 µm sieve CL, ML, CL-ML with less than 30% retained on 75 µm sieve MH, CH, OL, OH, PT If these category I soils are used for bedding, category II soils are recommended for embedment to prevent particle migration between different size of soil particles. Category II or Category III can be used for backfilling the trenches: Native clayey sands to sandy clays can be considered as Category II. Native lean clays encountered in the borings can be considered as Category 1 1, and they contained occasional sand, calcareous nodules, and limestone fragments. The bedding material must be compatible with the materials in the trench bottom, walls, and backfill so that particle migration from, into, or through the bedding is minimized. Particle migration can occur when open -graded material is placed adjacent to a finer material like silt. Under the action of hydraulic gradient from groundwater flow, fines may migrate into the coarser material. The gradation and relative size of the embedment and adjacent materials must be compatible in order to minimize migration. Bedding materials selected for the project may include pea gravel, uncrushed gravel, crushed gravel, crushed stone, stone screenings, and natural/manufactured sand. Based on the expected bedding materials, it is our opinion that particle migration will not be an issue for these trenches where the pipe will be placed in cohesive soil or rock. However, we recommend flowable fill be used where the groundwater level is above the proposed invert depth. Trench Backfill. For pipes that will be located under streets or within one foot of streets and curbs, pipe embedment should extend to a minimum of 6 inches above the top of pipe. Trench zone backftllis that portion of trench backfill that extends vertically.from the top of pipe. embedment up to pavement subgrade or up to final grade when not beneath pavement. Trenches that are located partially within the limit of one foot from streets or curbs should be uniformly backfilled according to thepaved area criteria. Backfill material may consist of in -situ soils or imported flexible base materials. Fill material should be placed in loose lifts not exceeding eight inches, and should be compacted to 95% of the standard proctor maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 698. However, the backfill up to 12 inches above the top of the pipe should be compacted so as to prevent structural damage to the pipe. It is common practice to use .the material excavated from the trench as trench backfill regardless of the plasticity index of.the soil excavated from, the trench. We recommend that for trench backfill with a PI greater than 20, that the loose lift thickness of fill be limited to a maximum of 8 inches. This should provide for better compaction of higher plasticity backfill that will reduce problems for pavement constructed above this fill. 7 UTILITY CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS 7.1 General This section is intended to address issues that might arise during construction. Our recommendations are intended for use as guidelines in dealing with particular soil conditions. The topicsaddressed_ in this section include trench excavation stability, groundwater 'control, open -cut construction and trenchless technique construction considerations. The recommendations contained herein are •not intended to dictate construction methods or sequences. Instead, they are provided solely to assist designers in identifying potential construction problems related to excavation, based upon findings derived from sampling. Depending upon the final design chosen for the project, the recommendations may also be useful to personnel who observe construction activity. Prospective contractors for the project must evaluate potential construction problems on the basis of their review of the contract documents, their own knowledge of and experience in the local area, and on the basis of :similar projects in other localities, taking into account their own proposed methods and procedures. 7.2 Boring. Jacking. or Tunneling Construction Considerations We understand that at some locations the pipeline will be installed using trenchless techniques. Three basic criteria exist. for satisfactory construction. First, construction must be feasible which means that it is possible to advance the bore safely and to maintain the integrity of the bore opening at least temporarily. ;Second, the construction should not result in excessive damage to adjacent or overlying structures, streets, or utilities. Third, the long-term design objectives of the facility must be achieved. A summary of the construction conditions for the project is given below. Pipe Design. For pipes to be installed by trenchless techniques, whereby sections of pipe are jacked forward against the surrounding soil, pipes should be designed to resist significant bending moments, along with the jacking forces exerted on the pipe during inst'llation. These loads generally exceed the overburden pressures that are typically determined based on the prism earth load to the ground surface, plus hydrostatic pressure and surcharge loads as shown on Plate 8. Therefore, pipes designed to resist construction ,loads during trenchless installation should have adequate strength for most long-term overburden and traffic loads. During design, allowance should be made for any external loads, other than soil and rock loads, which may be exerted on the pipe. These include loads from foundations for structures located near the water line and any possible future excavation to be performed near the water line. Much of the stability of the waterlines is due to the presence of relatively uniform stress conditions in the soil around the pipe. Relief of the earth loads on one side of the waterline due to subsequent adjacent excavation could cause an overstress of the pipe. 7 Alignment. Constructability is determined to a large extent by the type of soil or rock. The best conditions are full-faced conditions. Situations that are more difficult are mixed face conditions where two different types of soil and rock, or two different types of rock are encountered in the excavation face simultaneously. These tunneling conditions should be avoided whenever possible. We do anticipate mixed face conditions at most of the bores at the proposed invert depths. Where mixed face conditions are encountered control of the grade of the face of excavation is more difficult to control, and local instability of the face of the excavation is more likely at and near locations where the boundary between two strata is exposed in the excavation.• Face of Excavation Stability. The stability of the face is a function of the shear strength and stress - strain characteristics of the soil or rock, the overburden pressure, the geometry of the cross section, the time -dependent loss of strength, the delayed deformation of some soils, and the construction procedures. When the face consists of more than one kind of soil or rock, the stability of such a face may be assessed by analyzing the different materials independently. For the cohesive soil materials that may be encountered the 'stability of a face is determined .by its existing undrained shear strength. The stability of the unsupported• face of the excavation may be evaluated by a ratio of the overburden pressure divided by the undrained shear strength of •the soil assuming atmospheric air pressure in the tunnel. This ratio is referred to as the Overload Factor, OF. Based on the measured soil properties, OF values were 3.0 or less. Generally, a design value for the overload factor of 4 or less is desirable in cohesive soils. A value of 4 represents a practical limit below which trenchless construction may be carried out without difficulties. Higher OF values will frequently lead to large deformations of the soil around and ahead of the excavation, with the associated problem of increased subsidence and possible deformations. It should be noted; however, :that exposure time of the face is the most important. At the moment of excavation, negative pore pressures are generated. If the soil is left .under the same conditions, the pore pressures will dissipate resulting in a reduction of shear strength. Thus, if a slow rate of advance is expected, a higher value of the OF must be used (or a reduced corrected value for the undrained shear strength). Fill material from road grading or in old utility trenches may be encountered. A potential for face instability exists where weak fill soils are encountered. The contractor should be *aware of these conditions and make provisions to avoid loss of ground where fill is encountered. Loss of.Ground. ' A properly designed and controlled operation can eliminate or .reduce immediate soil movement and subsidence to a tolerable level. Nevertheless, some ground loss •should be expected during trenchless operation. With good construction techniques, ground loss can be held. to acceptable levels. Generally, pipes bored or jacked beneath pavement and buried utilities can be expected to create a loosened subgrade or bedding condition which may lead to subsequent deformations: Advance rate and excavation rate should be compatible to avoid over excavation or loss of ground in order to .minimize deformations. Groundwater may be encountered during tunneling operation. We recommend that equipment providing positive support to the face, such as earth pressure balance equipment, be used when constructing this segment of the project. Large ground loss can result from.uncontrolled flowing ground. The potential for such ground loss exists wherever water -bearing sands or silts are encountered 'along the alignment. Careful dewatering of such layers will reduce the potential for development of flowing conditions. These soils were not encountered, however, if they are encountered during construction tunneling should be halted and measures need to betaken to dewater the area. 8 Ground Surface Movements. The zone of influence of a trenchless crossing extends a distance equal to the invert depth on each side of the centerline of the alignment. No building structures are anticipated to be in the zone of influence. The utility lines located adjacent to or crossing the alignment may experience movement caused by trenchless excavation. Settlement of the utility lines should be within acceptable limits provided good construction practices are followed. Long-term vertical movements caused by consolidation of the ground above the tunnel will occur if leakage into the liner or the sewer pipes impacts groundwater levels in the project area 7.3 Open -Cut Excavation Considerations Excavations should satisfy two requirements. First, the soils above final grade must be removed without disturbing the soil below excavation grade, which will support constructed facilities. Second, the sides of the excavation must be stable to prevent damage to adjacent streets and facilities as a result of either vertical or lateral movements of the soil. In addition, a satisfactory excavation procedure must include an adequate construction dewatering system to lower and maintain the water level at least a few feet below the lowest excavation grade. Excavation, Stability. Excavations shall be shored, laid back to a stable slope or some other equivalent means may be used to provide safety for workers and adjacent structures. Earth pressures for braced excavations are presented on Plate 8. Assessment of the need for excavation sloping, use of trench boxes or other measures required providing a stable excavation and the use of appropriate construction practices and/or equipment is the contractor's responsibility. The following comments are intended to represent common solutions to stability problems encountered in similar soil conditions in the Dallas Fort Worth area, and may not be construed as excavation system design recommendations. The excavation operations shall be performed ,in accordance with 29 CFR Part 1926 subpart P, as amended, including rules published in the Federal Register, Vol. 54, No. 209,.dated October 31, 1989, as a minimum. In addition, the provisions of legislation enacted by the Texas Legislature should be satisfied. Excavations Shallower Than Five Feet. Trenches that are less than five feet deep should be appropriately protected when any indication of hazardous ground movement is anticipated. Based on the soil conditions revealed by the borings, all trenches shallower than five feet may be excavated with side slopes of one vertical to one and one-half horizontal. If there are any indications of sloughing during excavation, the side slopes should be flattened. Excavations . Trenches that are deeper than five feet deep should be appropriately sloped and protected in accordance with Table B-1, and shoring may be constructed in accordance with Table C-1.1, Table C-1.2 and Table C-1.3 of 29 CFR Part 1926. Soil types required by Table C-1.1, Table C-1.2 and Table C-1.3 (Trench Shoring - Minimum Timber Requirements) are given below: Boring No. B-1 B-2 B-3 OSHA Soil Type Depth of Trench (ft) 0-5 5-10 10-15 15-20 20-25 B B B B B B B B C B C B B B 9 Definitions of Type 13 and Type C Soils Type B a.

Material in a sloped, layered system where the layers dip into the excavation or a slope of four horizontal to one vertical (4H:1V) or steeper. 10 Table B-1 presents maximum allowable slopes and configurations based on the soil types, and they are presented in the following table. Slope Configuration* Excavations made in Type B soil 1. All simple slope excavations 20 feet or less in depth shall have a maximum allowable slope of 1:1. 2. All benched excavations 20 feet or less in depth shall have a maximum allowable slope of 1:1 and maximum bench dimensions shown in Appendix B. 3. All excavations 20 feet or less in depth which have vertically sided lower portions shall be shielded or supported to a height at least 18 inches above the top of the vertical side. All such excavations shall have a maximum allowable slope of 1:1. 4. All other sloped excavations shall be in accordance with the other options permitted in § 1926.652(6). Excavations made in Type C soil • 1. All simple slope excavations 20 feet or less in depth shall have a maximum allowable slope of 11/z:1. 2. All excavations 20 feet or less in depth which have vertically sided lower portions shall be shielded or supported to a height at least 18 inches above the top of the vertical side. All such excavations shall have a maximum allowable slope of 11/z:1. 3. All other sloped excavations shall be in accordance with the other options permitted in § 1926.652(b). Excavations made in.Layered Soils 1. All excavations 20 feet or less in depth made in layered soils shall have a maximum allowable slope for each layer as shown in Appendix B. * Diagrams for slope configuration depending on soils types are presented in Appendix B. In general, it is our opinion that the pressure distribution (for braced walls) should be used for design of sheeting or trench boxes. To reduce the potential for ground movement adjacent to the top of the excavation, the bracing should be preloaded in stages as the excavation is deepened. The detailed earth pressure diagrams are presented on Plate 8. The planned construction may be performed along alignments near existing utility installations (either crossing or paralleling the new alignments). The contractors should be aware of potential excavation stability problems while working in the vicinity of old trenches and the excavation system should be designed to accommodate this weak material (trench backfill). The vertical walls of excavations should be located a safe distance from existing utilities in order to prevent movement in the soil mass behind the excavation that may adversely affect the utilities. We recommend that the horizontal distance should be 4 feet between the existing pipeline and proposed pipeline, and vertical depths should be determined based on the slope configurations in OSHATable B-1 depending on soil types. 7.4 Select Fill and General Earthwork Recommendations Select fill required raising the grade or backfill should consist of clayey sand, lean silty or sandy clay with a liquid limit less than 40 and a plasticity index between 7 and 20. Fill material that is used 11 should be placed in loose lifts not exceeding eight inches and should be compacted to 95 percent of standard Proctor maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698. 7.5 Groundwater Control Assessment of the need for groundwater control and installation of appropriate dewatering equipment is the contractor's responsibility. The following comments are intended to represent common solutions to groundwater control problems encountered in similar soil conditions in the Dallas Fort Worth area, and may not be construed as dewatering system design recommendations. A conventional pump and sump arrangement may be adequate if water bearing cohesive soils are encountered during trench excavations. Well points or eductors may be utilized to lower the groundwater level to at least three feet below the excavation level where water bearing cohesionless soils are encountered. Well points are generally not effective below about 15 feet beneath the top of the well point, and deeper dewatering requires deep wells with submersible pumps and eductors. Based on the subsurface soils encountered, we anticipate groundwater to be controlled using pump and/or sump arrangement. In any case, the groundwater'control used must provide a relatively dry, stable base for construction. However, it should be noted that groundwater conditions will change due to rainfall and seasonal changes. Control of groundwater should be accomplished in a manner that will preserve the strength of the foundation soils; will not cause instability of the excavation; and will not result in damage to existing structures. Where necessary to this purpose, the water will be lowered in advance of excavation by pump and sump arrangement, wells, well points, or similar methods. Open pumping should not be permitted if it results in boils, loss of fines, softening of the subgrade, or excavation instability. Discharge should be arranged to facilitate sampling by the owner's representative or engineer. 8 MONITORING 8.1 Excavation Safety As required under OSHA regulations, the' contractor should provide .a "competent person" to inspect trench excavations daily before the start of work, as needed during the shift, and after every rainstorm or other hazard increasing occurrence. When the competent person finds evidence of a hazardous condition, exposed workers should be removed from the hazardous area until the necessary precautions have been taken to ensure their safety. A competent person means one who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous to workers, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them. 8.2 Construction Materials. Testing We recommend that backfill be monitored by an accredited testing laboratory to verify that construction is performed in conformance with project specifications. HVJ Associates routinely provides these services and would be pleased to do so forthis project. 9 DESIGN REVIEW HVJ Associates, Inc. should review the design and construction plans and specifications prior to release to make certain that the geotechnical recommendations and design criteria presented herein have been properly interpreted. 12 10 LIMITATIONS This investigation was performed for the exclusive use of Pacheco Koch to provide geotechnical services for the proposed construction of 66-inch sanitary sewer line in Fort Worth, Texas.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)). The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is union or non -union. Union Identifiers An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" denotes that the union http://wvvw.wdol.gov/wdoliseafiles/clavisbacon/TX81.dvb?v=0 8/21/2013 Page 3 of 4 classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that classification. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011. The first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and the four -digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable , i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2011, following these characters is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate/collective bargaining agreement which would be July 1, 2011 in the above example. Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the rates. 0000/9999: weighted union wage rates will be published annually each January. Non -Union Identifiers Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived from survey data by computing average rates and are not union rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may include both union and non -union data. Example: SULA2004-007 5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union majority rates, LA indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued as a General Wage Determination on that date. Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change until a new survey is conducted. WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be: * an existing published wage determination * a survey underlying a wage determination * a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter * a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis -Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed. With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal http://www.wdol.gov/wdol/scafiles/davisbacon/TX81.dvb?v=0 8/21/2013 Page 4 of 4 process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to: Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 2.)

Provisions which are applicable to the project's funding source or dollar value of the contract are so noted within with these provisions. Construction projects which have Colonia Wastewater Treatment Assistance Program (CWTAP) funding do not use these conditions but instead use the EPA Supplemental Conditions and TWDB Special Conditions TWDB-0553 (formerly ED-004C). Construction projects which are financed by CWSRF Tier II (projects receiving state funds) instead use TWDB Supplemental Conditions TWDB-0551 (formerly ED-004F). Projects with State Loan funding use Supplemental Conditions TWDB-0552 (formerly ED-004G). Optional provisions that are good business practices are available in ED-004H. Application of Conditions The conditions and forms listed under the section, Instructions to Bidder Conditions. are to be included in the instructions to bidders for construction services. The provisions listed under the section, Construction Contract — Supplemental Conditions, should be included with the other general and special conditions that are typically included in the construction contract documents by the design engineer. Modifications to Provisions The Applicant may need to modify parts of these provisions to better fit the other provisions of the construction contract. The Applicant and the consulting engineer should carefully study these provisions before incorporating them into the construction contract documents. In particular, Water Districts and other types of districts should be aware of statutes relating to their creation and operation which may affect the application of these conditions. The Owner (Sub -Recipient) is to determine and incorporate the affirmative action goals for the project into supplemental Condition No. 12. Condition No. 15, Archeological Discoveries and Cultural Resources, and Condition No. 16, Endangered Species, may be superseded or modified by project specific conditions established during the application process. These documents may confer certain duties and responsibilities on the consulting engineer that are beyond, or short of, what the Applicant intends to delegate. The Applicant should ensure that the contractual agreement with the engineer provides for the appropriate services. Otherwise the Applicant should revise the wording in these special conditions to agree with actually delegated functions. TWDB-0550 Revised 06/19/2012 Page 3 Good Business Practices There are other contract provisions that the Owner and Designer need to include as a matter of good business practice. It is recommended that provisions addressing the following matters be included in the construction contract. Contract Provisions that satisfy these are available from TWDB upon request. • Specifying the time frame for accomplishing the construction of the project, and the consequences of not completing on time, including liquidation damages. • Specifying the type and dollar value of and documentation of insurance the contractor is to carry.

(b) The following paragraph applies only to contracts awarded on a lump sum contract price: COST BREAKDOWN - The Contractor shall submit to the Owner a detailed breakdown of his estimated cost of all work to be accomplished under the contract, so arranged and itemized as to meet the approval of the Owner or funding agencies. This breakdown shall be submitted promptly after execution of the agreement and before any payment is made to the Contractor for the work performed under the Contract. After approval by the Owner the unit prices established in the breakdown shall be used in estimating the amount of partial payments to be made to the Contractor. (c) Progress Payments (1) The Contractor shall prepare his requisition for progress payment as of the last day of the payment month and submit it, with the required number of copies, to the Engineer for his review. Except as provided in Paragraph (3) of this subsection, the amount of the payment due the Contractor shall be determined by adding to the total value of work completed to date, the value of materials properly stored on the site and deducting (1) five percent (5%) minimum of the total amount, as a retainage and (2) the amount of all previous payments. The total value of work completed to date shall be based on the actual or estimated quantities of work completed and on the unit prices contained in the agreement (or cost breakdown approved pursuant to section 6.b relating to lump sum bids) and adjusted by approved change orders. The value of materials properly stored on the site shall be based upon the estimated quantities of such materials and the invoice prices. Copies of all invoices shall be available for inspection by the Engineer. (2) The Contractor shall be responsible for the care and protection of all materials and work upon which payments have been made until final acceptance of such work and materials by the Owner.

This clause applies to contracts when the Owner is a Municipal Utility District, or Water Control and Improvement District. The retainage shall be ten percent minimum of the amount otherwise due until at least fifty percent of the work has been completed. After the project is fifty percent completed, the District may reduce the retainage from ten percent to no less than five percent. (4) The five percent (5%) minimum retainage of the progress payments due to the Contractor may not be reduced until the building of the project is substantially complete and a reduction in the retainage has been authorized by the TWDB. (5) The following clause applies only to contracts where the total price at the time of execution is $400,000 or greater and the retainage is greater than 5% and the Owner is not legally exempted from the condition (i.e. certain types of water districts). (6) The Owner shall deposit the retainage in an interest -bearing account, and the interest earned on such retainage funds shall be paid to the Contractor after completion of the contract and final acceptance of the project by the Owner. (d) Withholding Payments. The Owner may withhold from any payment otherwise due the Contractor so much as may be necessary to protect the Owner and if so elects may also withhold any amounts due from the Contractor to any subcontractors or material dealers, for work performed or material furnished by them. The foregoing provisions shall be construed solely for the benefit of the Owner and will not require the Owner to determine or adjust any claims or disputes between the Contractor and his subcontractors or Material dealers, or to withhold any moneys for their protection unless the Owner elects to do so.

PREVAILING WAGE RATES Insert Wage Rate Determination(s). A "wage determination" is the listing of wage and fringe benefit for each classification of laborers and mechanics which the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. DOL has determined to be prevailing in a given area for a particular type of construction. The Davis Bacon Wage Determinations are classified by the nature of the construction projects performed, specifically listed as "schedules": residential, building, highway, and heavy construction. Insert Wage Rate Determinations indicating which construction type is being used. (More than one may be checked). (a) n Construction Type: Heavy determination This determination includes those projects that are not properly classified as either "building," "highway," or "residential." Unlike these classifications, heavy construction is not a homogenous classification. Because of this catch-all nature, projects within the heavy classification may sometimes be distinguished on the basis of their particular project characteristics, and separate schedules may be issued for dredging projects, water and sewer line projects, dams, major bridges, and flood control projects. (b) n Construction Type: Highway determination This determination includes construction, alteration or repair of roads, streets, highways, runways, taxiways, alleys, trails, paths, parking areas, and other similar projects not incidental to building or heavy construction. (c) n Construction Type: Building determination This determination includes construction of sheltered enclosures with walk-in access for the purpose of housing persons, machinery, equipment or supplies; all construction of such structures; the installation of utilities and of equipment, both above and below grade levels; as well as incidental grading, utilities and paving. Such structures need not he "habitable" to be building construction. Also, the installation of heavy machinery and/or equipment does not generally change the project's character as a building. (d) P Construction Type: Residential This determination includes the construction, alteration or repair of single-family houses, apartment buildings of no more than four stories in height. This includes all incidental items such as site work, parking areas, utilities, streets, and sidewalks. Entities should review their contractor's wage decisions and confirm they provide an adequate classification of the labor required for the specific construction contract. Most CWSRF and DWSRF projects will fall under the "Heavy" construction type, but entities should ask their consulting engineers if unsure. Some contracts or projects may require more than one general schedule to be included depending on the nature and extent of the work (i.e. a building is constructed in a water treatment facility). This is described in more detail in DOL's All Agency Memo No. 131. See website http://www.dol.gov/whd/programs/dbra/memorand.htm. In such cases, the contracting agency should designate the work to which each wage determination or part thereof applies per FAR 22.404-2 thru 404-3 (Federal Acquisition Regulations). TWDB-0550 Revised 06/19/2012 Page 16 httns://www.acciuisition.gov/far/current/html/Subpart%2022 4.htm1#wp 1102017. Should overlaps occur in the wage classification schedules for the contract(s), the owner may consider adopting the higher rate classification. In all cases, the entity is responsible to insure an adequate classification is provided to insure compliance with the law. Where contractors alert the owner that the classification is inadequate, the owner should work with the contractor and the DOL to address any valid concerns.

Davis -Bacon Requirements A. The following terms and conditions specify how subrecipients that are governmental entities will assist the TWDB, as the State recipient, in meeting its Davis -Bacon responsibilities to EPA. If a subrecipient has questions regarding when Davis -Bacon applies, obtaining the correct Davis - Bacon wager determinations, Davis -Bacon provisions, or compliance monitoring, it may contact the TWDB. The subrecipient may also obtain additional guidance from the Department of Labor's website at httn://www.dol.uov/esa/whd/recovery/. 1. Applicability of the Davis -Bacon (DB) prevailing wage requirements. Davis -Bacon prevailing wage requirements apply to the construction, alteration, and repair activity of infrastructure, including all construction, alteration and repair activity involving wastewater or drinking water treatment plants is subject to DB. If a subrecipient encounters a unique situation at a site that presents uncertainties regarding DB applicability, the subrecipient must discuss the situation with the recipient State before authorizing work on that site. 2. Obtaining Wage Determinations. (a) Subrecipients shall obtain the wage determination for the locality in which a covered activity subject to DB will take place prior to issuing requests for bids, proposals, quotes or other methods for soliciting contracts (solicitation) for activities subject to DB. These wage determinations shall be incorporated into solicitations and any subsequent contracts. Prime contracts must contain a provision requiring that subcontractors follow the wage determination incorporated into the prime contract. (i) While the solicitation remains open, the subrecipient shall monitor www.wdol.gov on a on a weekly basis to ensure that the wage determination contained in the solicitation remains current. The subrecipients shall amend the solicitation if DOL issues a modification more than 10 days prior to the closing date (i.e. bid opening) for the solicitation. If DOL modifies or supersedes the applicable wage determination less than 10 days prior to the closing date, the subrecipients may request a finding from the State recipient that there is not a reasonable time to notify interested contractors of the modification of the wage determination. The State recipient will provide a report of its findings to the subrecipient. (ii) If the subrecipient does not award the contract within 90 days of the closure of the solicitation, any modifications or supersedes DOL makes to the wage determination contained in the solicitation shall be effective unless the State recipient, at the request of the subrecipient, obtains an extension of the 90 day period from DOL pursuant to 29 CFR 1.6(c)(3)(iv). The subrecipient shall monitor www.wdol.gov on a weekly basis if it does not award the contract within 90 days of closure of the solicitation to ensure that wage determinations contained in the solicitation remain current. (b) If the subrecipient carries out activity subject to DB by issuing a task order, work assignment or similar instrument to an existing contractor (ordering instrument) rather TWDB-0550 Revised 06/19/2012 Page 19 than by publishing a solicitation, the subecipient shall insert the appropriate DOL wage determination from www.wdol.gov into the ordering instrument. (c) Subrecipients shall review all subcontracts subject to DB entered into by prime contractors to verify that the prime contractor has required its subcontractors to include the applicable wage determinations. (d) As provided in 29 CFR 1.6(f), DOL may issue a revised wage determination applicable to a subrecipient's contract after the award of a contract or the issuance of an ordering instrument if DOL determines that the subrecipient has failed to incorporate a wage determination or has used a wage determination that clearly does not apply to the contract or ordering instrument. If this occurs, the subecipient shall either terminate the contract or ordering instrument and issue a revised solicitation or ordering instrument or incorporate DOL's wage determination retroactive to the beginning of the contract or ordering instrument by change order. The subrecipient's contractor must be compensated for any increases in wages resulting from the use of DOL's revised wage determination. 3. Contract and Subcontract provisions. PLEASE NOTE: This lanizuai a must be included in all Davis -Bacon covered construction contracts and subcontracts. (29 CFR Part 5.5). (a) The TWDB, as the State recipient, shall insure that the subrecipient(s) shall insert in full in any contract in excess of $2,000 which is entered into for the actual construction, alteration and/or repair, including painting and decorating, of a public building or public work, or building or work financed in whole or in part from Federal funds or in accordance with guarantees of a Federal agency or financed from funds obtained by pledge of any contract of a Federal agency to make a loan, grant or annual contribution (except where a different meaning is expressly indicated), and which is subject to the labor standards provisions of any of the acts listed in § 5.1, the following clauses: (1) Minimum wages (i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred TWDB-0550 Revised 06/19/2012 Page 20 for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in §5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis Bacon poster (WH1321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. Subrecipients may obtain wage determinations from the U.S. Department of Labor's website, www.wdol.gov. (ii)(A) The subrecipient(s), on behalf of EPA, shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The EPA award official shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met: (1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and (2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and (3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the subrecipient(s) agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the subrecipient (s) to the State award official. The State award official will transmit the report, to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the State award official or will notify the State award official within the 30day period that additional time is necessary. (C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the and the subrecipient(s) do not agree TWDB-0550 Revised 06/19/2012 Page 21 on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the award official shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the State award official, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30day period that additional time is necessary. (D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(ii)(B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification. (iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. (iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program. (2) Withholding. The subrecipient(s), shall upon written request of the EPA Award Official or an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally assisted contract subject to Davis Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the wages required by the contract, the (Agency) may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. (3) Payrolls and basic records. (i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work. Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona 11,4 TWDB-0550 Revised 06/19/2012 Page 22 fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis Bacon Act),daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. (ii)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of all payrolls to the subrecipient, that is, the entity that receives the subgrant or loan from the State capitalization grant recipient. Such documentation shall be available on request of the State recipient or EPA. As to each payroll copy received, the subrecipient shall provide written confirmation in a form satisfactory to the State indicating whether or not the project is in compliance with the requirements of 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) based on the most recent payroll copies for the specified week. The payrolls shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on the weekly payrolls. Instead the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee's social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at httb://www.dol.uov/esa/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm or its successor site. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to the subrecipient(s) for transmission to the State or EPA if requested by EPA, the State, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the subrecipient(s). (B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following: (1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under Sec. 5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, the TWDB-0550 Revised 06/19/2012 Page 23 appropriate information is being maintained under Sec. 5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, and that such information is correct and complete; (2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR part 3; (3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract. (C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section. (D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 231 of title 31 of the United States Code. (iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph(a)(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the State, EPA or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency or State may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12. (4) Apprentices and trainees. (i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered TWDB-0550 Revised 06/19/2012 Page 24 program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no TWDB-0550 Revised 06/19/2012 Page 25 longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.
