will contain an itemized list of the items of work to be done or materials to be furnished
and upon which bid prices are requested. The Proposal form will state the Bidder 's
general understanding of the project to be completed, provide a space for furnishing the
amount of bid security, and state the basis for entering into a formal contract. The Owner
will furnish forms for the Bidder 's "Experience Record ," "Equipment Schedule ," and
"Financial Statement," all of which must be properly executed and filed with the Director
of the City Water Department one week prior to the hour for opening of bids.
The financial statement required shall have been prepared by an independent certified
public accountant or an independent public accountant holding a valid permit issued by
an appropriate state licensing agency, and shall have been so prepared as to reflect the
current financial status. This statement must be current and no more than one (1) year old.
In the case that bidding date falls within the time a new statement is being prepared , the
previous statement shall be updated by proper verification. Liquid assets in the amount of
ten (10) percent of the estimated project cost will be required.
For an experience record to be considered to be acceptable for a given project, it must
reflect the experience of the firm seeking qualification in work of both the same nature
and magnitude as that of the project for which bids are to be received , and such
experience must have been completed not more than five (5) years prior to the date on
which Bids are to be received. The Director of the Water Department shall be sole judge
as to the acceptability of experience for qualification to bid on any Fort Worth Water
Department project.

state that he will rent such additional equipment as may be required to complete the
project on which he submits a bid.
C2-2.2 INTERPRETATION OF QUANTITIES: The quantities of work and materials
to be furnished as may be listed in the proposal forms or other parts of the Contract
Documents will be considered as approximate only and will be used for the purpose of
comparing bids on a uniform basis. Payment will be made to the Contractor for only the
actual quantities of work performed or materials furnished in strict accordance with the
Contract Documents and Plans. The quantities of work to be performed and materials to
be furnished may be increased or decreased as hereinafter provided, without in any way
invalidating the unit prices bid or any other requirements of the Contract Documents.
C2-2 (1)
C2-2.3 EXAMINATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND SITE OF PROJECT:
Bidders are advised that the Contract Documents on file with the Owner shall constitute
all of the information which the Owner will furnish. All additional information and data
which the Owner will supply after promulgation of the formal contract documents shall
be issued in the form of written addenda and shall become part of the Contract
Documents just as though such addenda were actually written into the original Contract
Documents.
Bidders are required , prior to filing of proposal, to read and become familiar with the
Contract Documents, to visit the site of the project and examine carefully all local
conditions, to inform themselves by their own independent research and investigations ,
tests, boring , and by such other means as may be necessary to gain a complete knowledge
of the conditions which will be encountered during construction of the project. They must
judge for themselves the difficulties of the work and all attending circumstances affecting
the cost of doing the work or the time required for its completion, and obtain all
information required to make an intelligent proposal. No information given by the Owner
or any representative of the Owner other than that contained in the Contract Documents
and officially promulgated addenda thereto, shall be binding upon the Owner. Bidders
shall rely exclusively and solely upon their own estimates, investigation , research , tests ,
explorations , and other data which are necessary for full and complete information upon
which the proposal is to be based. It is mutually agreed that the submission of a proposal
is prima-facie evidence that the bidder has made the investigation , examinations and tests
herein required. Claims for additional compensation due to variations between conditions
actually encountered in construction and as indicated in the Contract Documents will not
be allowed.
The logs of Soil Borings, if any, on the plans are for general information only and may
not be correct. Neither the Owner nor the Engineer guarantee that the data shown is
representative of conditions which actually exist.

form furnished by the Owner. All blank spaces applicable to the project contained in the
form shall be correctly filled in and the Bidder shall state the prices, written in ink in both

materials required. All such prices shall be written legibly. In case of discrepancy
between price written in words and the price written in numerals, the price most
advantageous to the City shall govern.

or his (her) duly authorized agent. If a proposal is submitted by a firm , association , or
partnership , the name and address of each member of the firm , association, or partnership,

C2-2.6 BID SECURITY: No proposal will be considered unless it is accompanied by a
"Proposal Security" of the character and the amount indicated in the "Notice to Bidders"

on the part of the Bidder, and by way of a guaranty that if awarded the contract, the
Bidder will within the required time execute a formal contract and furnish the required
performance and other bonds. The bid security of the three lowest bidders will be retained
until the contract is awarded or other disposition is made thereof. The bid security of all
other bidders may be returned promptly after the canvass of bids.
C2-2.7 DELIVERY OF PROPOSAL: No proposal will be considered unless it is
delivered, accompanied by its proper Bid Security, to the City Manager or his
representative in the official place of business as set forth in the "Notice to Bidders." It is

place. The mere fact that a proposal was dispatched will not be considered. The Bidder
must have the proposal actually delivered. Each proposal shall be in a sealed envelope
plainly marker with the word "PROPOSAL ," and the name or description of the project
as designated in the "Notice to Bidders." The envelope shall be addressed to the City
Manager, City Hall, Fort Worth, Texas.

Manager cannot be withdrawn prior to the time set for opening proposals. A request for
non-consideration must be made in writing, addressed to the City Manager, and filed with
him prior to the time set for opening of proposals. After all proposals not requested for
non-consideration are opened and publicly read aloud, the proposals for which non-
consideration requests have been properly filed may, at the option of the Owner, be
returned unopened.
C2-2.9 TELEGRAHIC MODIFICATIONS OF PROPOSALS: Any Bidder may modify
his proposal by telegraphic communication at any time prior to the time set for opening
proposals, provided such telegraphic communication is received by the City Manager

C2-2.11 IRREGULAR PROPOSALS: Proposals shall be considered as "Irregular" if
they show any omissions , alterations of form, additions , or conditions not called for ,
unauthorized alternate bids , or irregularities of any kind. However, the Owner reserves
the right to waive any all irregularities and to make the award of the contract to the best
interest of the City. Tendering a proposal after the closing hour is an irregularity which
can not be waived.

failure to show any or all such structures and utilities on the plans or to show them in
their exact location. It is mutually agreed that such failure will not be considered
sufficient basis for claims for additional compensation for Extra Work or for increasing
the pay quantities in any manner whatsoever, unless an obstruction encountered is such as
to necessitate changes in the lines and grades of considerable magnitude or requires the
building of special works, provision of which is not made in these Contract Documents,
in which case the provision in these Contract Documents for Extra Work shall apply.
It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to verify locations of the adjacent and/or
conflicting utilities sufficiently in advance of construction in order that he may negotiate
such local adjustments as necessary in the construction process to prov ide adequate
clearances. The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions in order to protect all

erodible earth and the authority to limit the surface area of erodible-earth material
exposed by preparing right-of-way, clearing and grubbing, the surface area of erodible-
earth material exposed by excavation , borrow and to direct the CONTRACTOR to
provide temporary pollution-control measures to prevent contamination of adjacent
streams, other water courses, lakes, ponds or other areas of water impoundment. Such
work may involve the construction of temporary berms, dikes , dams, sediment basins ,
slope drains and use of temporary mulches , mats seeding or other control devices or
methods directed by the Engineer as necessary to control soil erosion. Temporary
pollution-control measures shall be used to prevent or correct erosion that may develop
during construction prior to installation of permanent pollution-control features , but are
not associated with permanent control features on the project.
The Engineer will limit the area of preparing right of way, clearing and grubbing,
excavation and borrow to be proportional to the CONTRACTOR'S capability and
D-8
progress in keeping the finish grading, mulching, seeding, and other such permanent
pollution-control measures current in accordance with the accepted schedule. Should
seasonal conditions make such limitations unrealistic, temporary soil-erosion-control
measures shall be performed as directed by the Engineer. The amount of surface area of
erodible-earth material exposed at one time shall not exceed 750,000 square feet for
each excavation operation, 750 ,000 square feet for each material source operation (other
than from commercially operated sources), 750,000 square feet for each preparing of
right-of-way operation or 750 ,000 square feet for each clearing and grubbing operation,
unless otherwise shown on the plans or with prior approval by the Engineer in writing.
The CONTRACTOR shall also conform to the following practices and controls. All
labor, tools , equipment and incidentals to complete the work will not be paid for directly
but shall be considered as subsidiary work to the various items included in the contract.
(a). Waste or disposal areas and construction roads shall be located and constructed in
a manner that will minimize the amount of sediment entering streams.
(b ). Frequent fording of live streams will not be permitted; therefore, temporary
bridges or other structures shall be used wherever an appreciable number of stream
crossings are necessary. Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Engineer,
mechanized equipment shall not be operated in live streams.
(c). When work areas or material sources are located in or adjacent to live streams ,
such areas shall be separated from the stream by a dike or other barrier to keep
sediment from entering a flowing stream. Care shall be taken during the construction
and removal of such barriers to minimize the muddying of a stream .
(d). All waterways shall be cleared as soon as practicable of falsework , piling, debris
or other obstructions placed during construction operations that are not a part of the
finished work.
(e). The CONTRACTOR shall take sufficient precautions to prevent pollution of
streams , lakes and reservoirs with fuels , oils , bitumens, calcium chloride or other
harmful materials. He shall conduct and schedule his operations so as to avoid or
minimize siltation of streams , lakes and reservoirs and to avoid interference with
movement of migratory fish.
3. SUBMITTAL: Prior to the start of the applicable construction, the CONTRACTOR
shall submit for approval his schedules for accomplishment of soil-erosion-control work
and his plan to keep the area of erodible-earth material to a minimum. He shall also
submit for acceptance his proposed method of soil-erosion control on construction and
haul roads and material sources and his plan for disposal of waste materials. No work
shall be started until the soil-erosion control schedules and methods of operations have
been reviewed and approved by the Engineer.

CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
Maximum height of concrete free fall is five feet. Where longer drops are
necessary, use a chute, tremie or other approved conveyance to assist the
concrete into place without separation. Do not place directly into any
excavations (including piers) where water is standing . If the place of deposit
cannot be successfully pumped dry, place through a tremie with its outlet end
near the bottom of the place of deposit.
Regulate rate of placement so concrete remains plastic and flows into position.
Deposit concrete continuously until panel or section is completed. Place as near
as possible to its final location; do not rehandle .
Place concrete in horizontal layers 18" maximum thickness. Exercise special
care to prevent splashing the forms of reinforcement with concrete. Remove
any hardened or partially hardened concrete which has accumulated on the
forms or reinforcement before the work proceeds . Do not place concrete on
previously deposited concrete which has hardened sufficiently to cause the
formation of seams or planes of weakness within the respective member or
section, except allow concrete to settle 2 hours where wall or columns are to
receive superimposed loads.
Do not place concrete, under any circumstances, except in presence of Owner's
Representative.
When placing concrete in masonry, exercise extreme care to prevent concrete
from staining face of masonry.
Size and design equipment for chuting, pumping, and pneumatically conveying
concrete so as to assure a practically continuous flow of concrete at the delivery
end without separation of the materials. Do not use gravity-flow or aluminum
chutes or conveyors for transporting concrete horizontally. Provide runways for
wheeled concrete conveying equipment from the concrete delivery point to the
locations of final deposit.
Consolidation:
a. Comply with requirements of ACI 309.
b. Use mechanical vibrating equipment for consolidation.
c. Do not use vibrators to transport concrete in forms.
d . Use vibrators with sufficient speed and amplitude to consolidate
effectively.
e . Keep a spare vibrator on site during all concrete pours.
f. Thoroughly consolidate concrete and work around reinforcement,
embedded items and into comers of forms . Thoroughly consolidate
layers of concrete with previous layers.
Construction Joints: unless otherwise shown on Drawings, construct each
footing, pier, column, beam, wall and slab monolithically. Each will be
considered as a single unit of work. Where construction joints are absolutely
unavoidable, locate joints at or near third-points of spans where approved by
Owner's Representative. Provide appropriate keys in construction joints, plums
and level, whether horizontal or vertical. Place construction joins in exposed
concrete work at detailed joints or rustication as approved by Owner's
Representative.
Expansion Joint Fillers: Place pre-molded expansion joint fillers at locations as
detailed and whenever required to separate site paving from building slabs.
Refer to Drawings for required joint dimensions.

Hot Weather Placement: Exercis e special care to prevent high temperature in
fresh concrete during hot weather in accordance with ACI 305 . Use water
reducing set-retarding admixtures in such quantities as especially recommended
by manufacturer to assure that concrete remains workable and lift lines will not
be visible. Do not place concrete if temperature is above 90°F and rising.
Provide ice in concrete placed in warm weather when concrete temperatures are
questionable.
Bonding: Before depositing any new concrete on or against previously deposited
concrete which has partially or entirely set, thoroughly roughen and clean the
surfaces of the latter of all foreign matter, scum, and laitance. Retighten forms
and re-coat the surface of the prev iously deposited concrete with specified
bonding agent per manufacturer's directions .

GENERAL NOTES FOR ALL THRUST BLOCKS
1. Concrete for blocking shall have a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 psi.
2. All caiculations are based on internal pressure of 200 psi for ductile iron and
PVC, and 150 psi for concrete pipe.
3. Volumes of trust blocks are net volumes of concrete to be furnished. The
corresponding weight of 3,000 psi concrete is equa) to or greater than the
vertical component of the thrust on the vertical bend.
4. Pour concrete for thrust blocks against undisturbed earth.
5. Diminsions may be varied as required by field conditions where and as
directed by the Owner's Representative. The volume of concrete blocking
shall not be less than shown in tables.
6. The calculations are base on bearing pressures equal to 1,000 Ibs/sf in
soil and 2,000 Ibs/sf in rock.
7. Use polyethylene wrap between concrete blocking and bends, tees, and plugs
to prevent the concrete from sticking to fittings.
8. Concrete shall not extend beyond joints.
