a
Texas Goverment Code Chapter 2252 was adopted for the award of contracts to nonresident bidders. This law provides
that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, nonresident bidders (out-of-state contractors whose corporate offices
or principal place of business are outside the State of Texas) bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies or
services in Texas at an amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas resident bidder
would be required to underbid a nonresident bidder in order to obtain a comparable contract in the State which the
nonresident's principal place of business is located.
The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all nonresident bidders in order for your bid to meet specifications.
The failure of nonresident bidders to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in
Section B.
A. Nonresident bidders in the State of `,iatc I lcry ,lr Blank our principal place of business,
are required to be "I [ I c rc percent lower than resident bidders by State Law. A copy of the
statute is attached.
Nonresident bidders in the State of State Here or Blank 1, our principal place of business,
are not required to underbid resident bidders.
B. The principal place of business of our company or our parent company or majority owner is
in the State of Texas.

$250 and the Item is not originally a plans quantity Item, then the Item may be paid as a plans
quantity Item if the City and Contractor agree in writing to fix the final quantity as a plans _

available within a reasonable period of time, Contractor may request an extension in Contract _
Time, directly attributable to any such suspension.
C. If it should become necessary to suspend the Work for an indefinite period, the Contractor shall R

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 about the work, and erect

notice to Contractor and Surety to arrange a conference with Contractor and Surety to address
Contractor's failure to perform the Work. Conference shall be held not later than 15 days, after

Contractor and Surety have received notice of conference to address Contractor's failure to

Work and complete it as described below.

take possession of the Work, and all materials and equipment incorporated into the Work
stored at the Site or for which City has paid Contractor or Surety but which are stored
elsewhere, and finish the Work as City may deem expedient.
_ 3. Whether City or Surety completes the Work, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any
further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price
exceeds all claims, costs, losses and damages sustained by City arising out of or resulting
from completing the Work, such excess will be paid to Contractor. If such claims, costs,
losses and damages exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the difference to City.
Such claims, costs, losses and damages incurred by City will be incorporated in a Change
Order, provided that when exercising any rights or remedies under this Paragraph, City shall
not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed.
4. Neither City, nor any of its respective consultants, agents, officers, directors or employees
shall be in any way liable or accountable to Contractor or Surety for the method by which the
completion of the said Work, or any portion thereof, may be accomplished or for the price
paid therefor.

to recover damages from Contractor or Surety for Contractor's failure to timely complete the
entire Contract. Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim on account of the method used
by City in completing the Contract.

2. Preservation
a. Considering the Contract completion time, the probable number of occasions
upon which the job set must be taken out for new entries and for examination,
and the conditions under which these activities will be performed, devise a
suitable method for protecting the job set.
b. Do not use the job set for any purpose except entry of new data and for review
by the City, until start of transfer of data to final Project Record Documents.
c. Maintain the job set at the site of work.
3. Coordination with Construction Survey
a. At a minimum, in accordance with the intervals set forth in Section 01 71 23,
clearly mark any deviations from Contract Documents associated with
installation of the infrastructure.
4. Making entries on Drawings
a. Record any deviations from Contract Documents.
b. Use an erasable colored pencil (not ink or indelible pencil), clearly describe the
change by graphic line and note as required.
c. Date all entries.
d. Call attention to the entry by a "cloud" drawn around the area or areas affected.
e. In the event of overlapping changes, use different colors for the overlapping
changes.
5. Conversion of schematic layouts
a. In some cases on the Drawings, arrangements of conduits, circuits, piping,
ducts, and similar items, are shown schematically and are not intended to
portray precise physical layout.
1) Final physical arrangement is determined by the Contractor, subject to the
City's approval.
2) However, design of future modifications of the facility may require
accurate information as to the final physical layout of items which are
shown only schematically on the Drawings.
b. Show on the job set of Record Drawings, by dimension accurate to within 1
inch, the centerline of each run of items.
1) Final physical arrangement is determined by the Contractor, subject to the
City's approval.
2) Show, by symbol or note, the vertical location of the Item ("under slab", "in
ceiling plenum", "exposed", and the like).
3) Make all identification sufficiently descriptive that it may be related
reliably to the Specifications.
c. The City may waive the requirements for conversion of schematic layouts
where, in the City's judgment, conversion serves no useful purpose. However,
do not rely upon waivers being issued except as specifically issued in writing
by the City.
B. Final Project Record Documents
Transfer of data to Drawings
a. Carefully transfer change data shown on the job set of Record Drawings to the
corresponding final documents, coordinating the changes as required.
b. Clearly indicate at each affected detail and other Drawing a full description of
changes made during construction, and the actual location of items.

longevity and clear reproduction.
2. Transfer of data to other Documents
a. If the Documents, other than Drawings, have been kept clean during progress of
the Work, and if entries thereon have been orderly to the approval of the City,
the job set of those Documents, other than Drawings, will be accepted as final
Record Documents.
b. If any such Document is not so approved by the City, secure a new copy of that
Document from the City at the City's usual charge for reproduction and
handling, and carefully transfer the change data to the new copy to the approval
of the City.

RIPRAP
Page 5 of 1 I
1. Reinforce concrete riprap with No. 3 reinforcing bars spaced at a maximum of 18
inches in each direction unless otherwise shown. Provide a minimum 6-inch lap at
all splices. At the edge of the riprap, provide a minimum horizontal cover of 1 inch
and a maximum cover of 3 inches. Place the first parallel bar at most 6 inches from
the edge of concrete. Use approved supports to hold the reinforcement
approximately equidistant from the top and bottom surface of the slab. Adjust
reinforcement during concrete placement to maintain correct position.
2. As directed, sprinkle or sprinkle and consolidate the subgrade before the concrete is
placed. All surfaces must be moist when concrete is placed.
3. After placing the concrete, compact and shape it to conform to the dimensions
shown on Drawings. After it has set sufficiently to avoid slumping, finish the
surface with a wood float to secure a smooth surface or broom finish as approved.
4. Immediately after the finishing operation, cure the riprap according to Section 03
3000.
C. Stone Riprap
1. Provide the following types of stone riprap when shown on the Drawings.
a. Dry Riprap
1) Dry riprap is stone riprap with voids filled with only spalls or small stones.
b. Grouted Riprap
1) Grouted riprap is Type Large, Medium, or Block stone riprap with voids
grouted after all the stones are in place.
c. Mortared Riprap
1) Mortared riprap is Medium stone riprap laid and mortared as each stone is
placed.
2. Use spalls and small stones lighter than 25 pounds to fill open joints and voids in
stone riprap, and place to a tight fit.
3. Do not place mortar or grout when the air temperature is below 35 degrees
Fahrenheit.
4. Protect work from rapid drying for at least 3 days after placement. Unless otherwise
approved, place filter fabric with the length running up and down the slope. Ensure
fabric has a minimum overlap of 2 feet.
5. Secure fabric with nails or pins. Use nails at least 2 inches long with washers or U-
shaped pins with legs at least 9 inches long. Space nails or pins at a maximum of 10
feet in each direction and 5 feet along the seams. Alternative anchorage and spacing
may be used when approved.
6. Large
a. Construct riprap as shown in Figure 1 and as shown on the Drawings. Place
stones in a single layer with close joints so that most of their weight is carried
by the earth and not by the adjacent stones.
b. Place the upright axis of the stones at an angle of approximately 90 degrees to
the embankment slope.
c. Place each course from the bottom of the embankment upward with the larger
stones in the lower courses.
d. Fill open joints between stones with spalls.

e. Place stones to create a uniform finished top surface. Do not exceed a 6-inch
variation between the tops of adjacent stones. Replace, embed deeper, or chip
away stones that project more than the allowable amount above the finished
surface.
f. When the Drawings require Large stone riprap to be grouted, prevent earth,
sand, or foreign material from filling the spaces between the stones. After the
stones are in place, thoroughly wet the stones, fill the spaces between the stones
with grout, and pack. Sweep the surface of the riprap with a stiff broom after
grouting.
7. Medium
a. Dry Placement
1) Construct riprap as shown in Figure 2. Set the flat surface on a prepared
horizontal earth bed, and overlap the underlying course to secure a lapped
surface.
2) Place the large stones first, roughly arranged in close contact. Fill the
spaces between the large stones with suitably sized stones placed to leave
the surface evenly stepped and conforming to the contour required.
3) Place stone to drain water down the face of the slope.
b. Grouting
1) Construct riprap as shown in Figure 3. Size, shape, and lay large flat -
surfaced stones to produce an even surface with minimal voids.
2) Place stones with the flat surface facing upward parallel to the slope. Place
the largest stones near the base of the slope.
3) Fill spaces between the larger stones with stones of suitable size, leaving
the surface smooth, tight, and conforming to the contour required.
4) Place the stones to create a plane surface with a maximum variation of 6
inches in 10 feet from true plane. Provide the same degree of accuracy for
warped and curved surfaces.
5) Prevent earth, sand or foreign material from filling the spaces between the
stones. After the stones are in place, thoroughly wet them, fill the spaces
between them with grout, and pack. Sweep the surface with a stiff broom
after grouting.
c. Mortaring
1) Construct riprap as shown in Figure 2. Lap courses as described for dry
placement. Before placing mortar, wet the stones thoroughly.
2) As the larger stones are placed, bed them in fresh mortar and shove
adjacent stones into contact with one another.
3) After completing the work, spread all excess mortar forced out during
placement of the stones uniformly over them to fill all voids completely.
Point up all joints roughly either with flush joints or with shallow, smooth -
raked joints as directed.
D. Block
1. Construct riprap as shown in Figure 4. Place stones on a bed excavated for the base
course. Bed the base course of stone well into the ground with the edges in contact.
Bed and place each succeeding course in even contact with the preceding course.
2. Use spalls and small stones to fill any open joints and voids in the riprap. Ensure
the finished surface presents an even, tight surface, true to the line and grades of the
typical sections.

6 1. Construct riprap as shown in Figure 5. Place riprap stone on the slopes within the
7 limits shown on the Drawings. Place stone for riprap on the bedding material to
8 produce a reasonably well -graded mass of riprap with the minimum practicable
9 percentage of voids.
10 2. Construct the riprap to the lines and grades shown on the Drawings or staked in the
l 1 field. A tolerance of +6 inches and -0 inch from the slope line and grades shown on
12 the Drawings is allowed in the finished surface of the riprap.
13 3. Place riprap to its full thickness in a single operation. Avoid displacing the bedding
14 material. Ensure that the entire mass of stones in their final position is free from
15 objectionable pockets of small stones and clusters of larger stones.
16 4. Do not place riprap in layers, and do not place it by dumping it into chutes,
17 dumping it from the top of the slope, pushing it from the top of the slope, or any
18 method likely to cause segregation of the various sizes.
19 5. Obtain the desired distribution of the various sizes of stones throughout the mass by
20 selective loading of material at the quarry or other source or by other methods of
21 placement that will produce the specified results.
22 6. Rearrange individual stones by mechanical equipment or by hand if necessary to
23 obtain a reasonably well -graded distribution of stone sizes.

1. Pavement temperatures are estimated from air temperatures using an algorithm contained in a Department -supplied computer program, may be provided by the Department, or by following the procedures
outlined in AASHTO MP 2 and PP 28.
2. This requirement may be waived at the Department's discretion if the supplier warrants that the asphalt binder can be adequately pumped, mixed, and compacted at temperatures that meet all applicable
safety, environmental, and constructability requirements. At test temperatures where the binder is a Newtonian fluid, any suitable standard means of viscosity measurement may be used, including capillary
Cr 201 or T 202) or rotational viscometry (T 316).
3. Viscosity at 135°C is an indicator of mixing and compaction temperatures that can be expected in the lab and field. High values may indicate high mixing and compaction temperatures. Additionally,
significant variation can occur from batch to batch. Contractors should be aware that variation could significantly impact their mixing and compaction operations. Contractors are therefore responsible for
addressing any constructability issues that may arise.
4. For quality control of unmodified asphalt binder production, measurement of the viscosity of the original asphalt binder may be substituted for dynamic shear measurements of G*/sin(d) at test
temperatures where the asphalt is a Newtonian fluid. Any suitable standard means of viscosity measurement may be used, including capillary (T 201 or T 202) or rotational viscometry (T 316).
5. Silicone beam molds, as described in AASHTO TP 1-93, are acceptable for use.
6. If creep stiffness is below 300 MPa, direct tension test is not required. If creep stiffness is between 300 and 600 MPa, the direct tension failure strain requirement can be used instead of the creep stiffness
requirement. The m-value requirement must be satisfied in both cases.

percent in -place air voids.
2) Do not increase the asphalt content of the mixture to reduce pavement air
voids.
b. Rollers.
1) Furnish the type, size, and number of rollers required for compaction, as
approved.
2) Use a pneumatic -tire roller to seal the surface, unless otherwise shown on
the plans.
3) Use additional rollers as required to remove any roller marks.
c. Air Void Determination.
1) Unless otherwise shown on the plans, obtain 2 roadway specimens at each
location selected by the City for in -place air void determination.
2) The City will measure air voids in accordance with Tex-207-F and
Tex-227-F.
3) Before drying to a constant weight, cores may be predried using a Corelok
or similar vacuum device to remove excess moisture.
4) The City will use the average air void content of the 2 cores to calculate
the in -place air voids at the selected location.
d. Air Voids Out of Range.
1) If the in -place air void content in the compacted mixture is below 5 percent
or greater than 9 percent, change the production and placement operations
to bring the in -place air void content within requirements.
e. Test Section.
1) Construct a test section of I lane -width and at most 0.2 mi. in length to
demonstrate that compaction to between 5 percent and 9 percent in -place
air voids can be obtained.
2) Continue this procedure until a test section with 5 percent to 9 percent in -
place air voids can be produced.
3) The City will allow only 2 test sections per day.
4) When a test section producing satisfactory in -place air void content is
placed, resume full production.
12. Ordinary Compaction Control.
a. Furnish the type, size, and number of rollers required for compaction, as
approved. Furnish at least 1 medium pneumatic -tire roller (minimum 12-ton
weight).
b. Use the control strip method given in Tex-207-F, Part IV, to establish rolling
patterns that achieve maximum compaction.
c. Follow the selected rolling pattern unless changes that affect compaction occur
in the mixture or placement conditions.
d. When such changes occur, establish a new rolling pattern.
e. Compact the pavement to meet the requirements of the plans and specifications.
f. When rolling with the 3-wheel, tandem or vibratory rollers, start by first rolling
the joint with the adjacent pavement and then continue by rolling longitudinally
at the sides.
g. Proceed toward the center of the pavement, overlapping on successive trips by
at least 1 ft., unless otherwise directed.
h. Make alternate trips of the roller slightly different in length.
