_ appropriations of $101,191.00 ($37,000.00 for construction staking, project management material testing
and inspection and $64,191.00 for project contingencies) are needed from the Sewer Capital Projects Fund.
,,The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 4 and 5, Mapsco 67N, 67P and 67Q.
:ISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget,
as appropriated, of the Clean Water State Revolving Fund 2007.

VENDOR CON2LLANCE WITH RECIPROCITY ON NON-RESIDENT
BIDDERS
Government Code 2252.002 provides that, In order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, a non-resident
bidder must 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 non-resident bidder in orderto obtain a comparable contract in the state in which the non-
resident's principal place of business is located. A non-resident bidder is a contractor whose corporate
offices or principal place of business is outside ofthe state of Texas. This requirement dots not apply to a
contract involving Federal funds. The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all out-of-state
or non-resident bidders in order for your bid to meet specifications. The failure of out-of-state or non-
res"tdent contractors to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the
blank in Section B.
A. Non-resident vendors in (give state), our principal place of business, are required to be
percent lower than resident bidders by state law. A copy of the statute is attached.
Non-resident vendors in (give state), out principal place of business, are not required
to underbid resident bidders.
B. Our principal place of business or corporate offices are in the State of Texas:

immediate superintendence, work of a value of not less than
fifty (50%) percent of the value embraced in the contract. If
the Contractor sublets any part of the work to be done under
these Contract Documents, he will not under any circumstances be
relieved of the responsibility and obligation assumed under
these Contract Documents. All transactions of the Engineer will
be with the Contractor. Subcontractors will be considered only
in the capacity of employees or workmen of the Contractor and
shall be subject to the same requirements regarding character
and competency. The Owner will not recognize any subcontractor
on the work. The Contractor shall at all times, when the work
is in operation, be represented either in person or by a
superintendent, or other designated representative.

transfer, sublet, convey, or otherwise dispose of the contract
or his rights, title, or interest in or to the same or any part
thereof without the previous consent of the Owner expressed by
resolution of the City Council and concurred in by the Sureties.
If the Contractor does, without such previous consent, assign,
transfer, sublet, convey, or otherwise dispose of the contract
or his right, title, or interest therein or any part thereof, to
any person or persons, partnership, company, firm or ..
corporation, or does by bankruptcy, voluntary or involuntary, or
by assignment under the insolvency laws of any state, attempt to
dispose of the contract may, at the option of the Owner be
revoked and annulled, unless the Sureties shall successfully
complete said contract, and in the event of any such revocation
or annulment, any monies due or to become due under or by virtue
of said contract shall be retained by the Owner as liquidated
damages for the reason that it would be impracticable and
extremely difficult to fix the actual damages.
C7-7.3 PROSECUTION OF THE WORK: Prior to beginning any
construction operation, the Contractor shall submit to the

at all times as specified in the Special Contract Documents.
Any deviation from such sequencing shall be submitted to the

not relieve the Contractor from the full responsibility of the
complete performance of the Contract.

C7-7.8 "Extension of Time of Completion" of this Agreement, and
a progress schedule shall not constitute a change in the
contract time.
C7-7.4 LIMITATIONS OF OPERATIONS: The working operations shall
at all times be conducted by the Contractor to create a minimum
amount of inconvenience to the public. At any time when, in the
_ judgment of the Engineer, the Contractor has obstructed or

public way greater than is necessary for the proper execution of
the work, the Engineer may require the Contractor to finish the
section on which operations are in progress before the work is
commenced on any additional section or street.
'o C7-7.5 CHARACTER OR WORKMEN AND EQUIPMENT: Local labor shall be
used by the Contractor when it is available. The Contractor may
bring in from outside the City of Fort Worth his key men and his
" superintendent. All other workmen, including equipment

satisfactory, safe and efficient working condition. Equipment
on any portion of the work shall be such that no injury to the
work, workmen or adjacent property will result from its use.

starting with the first day of work completed as defined in C1-
1.23 "WORKING DAY" or the date stipulated in the "'WORK ORDER"
for beginning work, whichever comes first.
Nothing in these Contract Documents shall be construed as
prohibiting the Contractor from working on Saturday, Sunday or
Legal Holidays, providing that the following requirements are
met:
a. A request to work on a specific Saturday, Sunday or
Legal Holiday must be made to the Engineer no later
than the Thursday preceding.
b. Any work to be done on the project on such a specific
Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday must be, in the
opinion of the Engineer, essential to the timely

work as he so desires.
so
C7-7.7 TIME OF COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION: The Contractor
shall commence the working operations within the time specified
"' in the Contract Documents and set forth in the Work Order.
Failure to do so shall be considered by the Owner as abandonment
of the Contract by the Contractor and the Owner may proceed as
1W he sees fit.
The Contractor shall maintain a rate of progress such as will
insure that the whole work will be performed and the premises
cleaned up in accordance with the Contract Documents and within
the time established in such documents and such extension of
,. time as may be properly authorized by the Owner.
C7-7.8 EXTENSION OF TIME COMPLETION: The Contractor's request
for an extension of time of completion shall be considered only
when the request for such extension is submitted in writing to
the Engineer within seven days from and after the time alleged
cause of delay shall have occurred. Should an extension of the
time of completion be requested such request will be forwarded
to the City Council for approval.
go
In adjusting the contract time for completion of work,
consideration will be given to unforeseeable causes beyond the
go control of and without the fault or negligence of the
Contractor, including but limited to acts of the public enemy,
acts of the Owner, fire, flood, tornadoes, epidemics, quarantine
restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, or delays of sub-
" contractors due to such causes.
When the date of completion is based on a calendar day bid, a
request for extension of time because of inclement weather will
not be considered. A request for extension of time due to
inability to obtain supplies and materials will be considered
r only when a review of the Contractor's purchase order dates and
other pertinent data as requested by the Engineer indicates that
the contractor has made a bona fide attempt to secure delivery
on schedule. This shall include efforts to obtain the supplies
and materials from alternate sources in case the first source
cannot make delivery.

If satisfactory execution and completion of the contract should
require work and materials in greater amounts or quantities than so
those set forth in the approved Contract Documents, then the
contract time may be increased by Change Order.
C7-7.9 DELAYS: The Contractor shall receive no compensation for
delays or hindrances to the work, except when direct and
unavoidable extra cost to the Contractor is caused by the
failure of the City to provide information or material, if any, '~
which is to be furnished by the City. When such extra
compensation is claimed, a written statement thereof shall be
presented by the Contractor to the Engineer and if by him found
correct, shall be approved and referred by him to the Council
for final approval or disapproval; and the action thereon by the
Council shall be final and binding. If delay is caused by #*
specific orders given by the Engineers to stop work, or by the
performance of extra work, or by the failure of the City to
provide material or necessary instructions for carrying on the ..�
work, then such delay will entitle the Contractor to an
equivalent extension of time, his application for which shall,
however, be subject to the approval of the City Council; and no .�.r
such extension of time shall release the Contractor or the
surety on his performance bond from all his obligations
hereunder which shall remain in full force until the discharge
of the contract.
C7-7.10 TIME OF COMPLETION: The time of completion is an
essential element of the contract. Each bidder shall indicate
in the appropriate place on the last page of the Proposal the
number of working days or calendar days that he will require to
fully complete this contract or the time of completion will be
specified by the City in the Proposal section of the contract
documents.
MP
The number of days indicated shall be a realistic estimate of
the time required to complete the work covered by the specific
contract being bid upon. The amount of time so stated by the
successful bidder or the City will become the time of completion
specified in the Contract Documents.
For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted
after the time specified in the Contract Documents, or the
increased time granted by the Owner, or as automatically am
increased by additional work or materials ordered after the
contract is signed, the sum per day given in the following

schedule, unless otherwise specified in other parts of the
Contract Documents, will be deducted from monies due the

by the Owner.

The parties hereto understand and agree that any harm to the
City caused by the Contractor's delay in completing the work
hereunder in the time specified by the Contract Documents would
w. be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, and that

a reasonable forecast of just compensation due the City for harm
caused by any delay.
C7-7.11 SUSPENSION BY COURT ORDER: The Contractor shall suspend
operations on such part or parts of the work ordered by any
Court, and will not be entitled to additional compensation by
virtue of such Court Order. Neither will he be liable to the

suspend the work operation wholly or in part for such period or
.r periods of time as he may deem necessary due to unsuitable
weather conditions or any other unfavorable conditions which in
the opinion of the Owner or Engineer cause further prosecution
of the work to be unsatisfactory or detrimental to the interest
of the project. During temporary suspension of work covered by
this contract, for any reason, the Owner will make no extra
payment for stand-by time of construction equipment and/or
construction crews.
C7-7 (6)

that they will not obstruct or impede the public unnecessarily
nor become damaged in any way, and he shall take every
precaution to prevent damage or deterioration of the work
performed; he shall provide suitable drainage about the work, "

Should the Contractor not be able to complete a portion of the ""
project due to causes beyond the control of and without the
fault or negligence of, the Contractor as set forth in Paragraph
C7-7.8 EXTENSION OF THE TIME OF COMPLETION, and should it be *'
determined by mutual consent of the Contractor and the Engineer
that a solution to allow construction to proceed is not
available within a reasonable period of time, then the
Contractor may be reimbursed for the cost of moving his
equipment off the job and returning the necessary equipment to
the job when it is determined by the Engineer that construction ,r
may be resumed. Such reimbursement shall be based on actual
cost to the Contractor of moving the equipment and no profit
will be allowed.
No reimbursement shall be allowed if the equipment is moved to
another construction project for the City of Fort Worth. 40

the work with reasonable continuity for a period of two months,
the Contractor shall, within seven days, notify the City in
writing giving a detailed statement of the efforts which have
been made and listing all necessary items of labor, materials,
and equipment not obtainable. If, after investigation, the
Owner finds that such conditions exist and that the inability of
the Contractor to proceed is not attributable in whole or in
part to the fault or neglect of the Contractor, then if the
Owner cannot after reasonable effort assist the Contractor in
procuring and making available the necessary labor, materials
and equipment within thirty days, the Contractor may request the

illegally procuring a contract or perpetrating fraud
on the City in the construction of work under
'M`

been payable under the contract if the same had been completed
%n by the Contractor, then the Contractor and his Sureties shall
pay the amount of such excess to the City on notice from the

D- 67 REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF ASBESTOS CEMENT PIPE
A. It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth to comply with the requirements of the Asbestos
National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) found at 40 CFR
Part 61, Subpart M. This specification will establish procedures to be used by all
Excavators in the removal and disposal of asbestos cement pipe (ACP) in compliance with
NESHAP. Nothing in this specification shall be construed to void any provision of a contract
or other law, ordinance, regulation or policy whose requirements are more stringent.
A''
F
ACP is defined under NESHAP as a Category II, non -friable material in its intact state but
which may become friable upon removal, demolition and/or disposal. Consequently, if the
removal/ disposal process renders the ACP friable, it is regulated under the disposal
requirements of 40 CFR 61.150. A NESHAP notification must be filed with the Texas
Department of Health. The notification must be filed at least ten days prior to removal of
the material. If it remains in its non - friable state, as defined by the NESHAP, it can be
disposed as a conventional construction waste. The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) defines friable as material, when dry, which may be crumbled, pulverized or reduced
to powder by hand pressures.
The Generator of the hazardous material is responsible for the identification and proper
handling, transportation, and disposal of the material. Therefore, it is the policy of the City
of Fort Worth that the Excavator is the Generator regardless of whether the pipe is friable
or not.
It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth that all ACP shall be removed in such careful and
prudent manner that it remains intact and does not become friable. The Excavator is
responsible to employ those means, methods, techniques and sequences to ensure this
result.
Compliance with all aspects of worker safety and health regulations including but not
limited to the OSHA Asbestos Standard is the responsibility of the Excavator. The City of
Fort Worth assumes no responsibility for compliance programs, which are the responsibility
of the Excavator. (Copy of forms attached)
The removal and disposal of ACP shall be subsidiary to the cost of installing the new pipe
unless otherwise stated or indicated on the project plans or contract documents.

A. GENERAL:
iw
1. Furnish materials and necessary accessories, with strengths, thickness, coatings,
and fittings indicated, specified and/or necessary to complete the work.
2. All excavation shall provide an open area conforming to the outside diameter of
the casing and/or carrier conduit. The excavation shall be to an alignment and
•• grade which will allow the carrier conduit to be installed to proper line and grade as
shown on the Plans and as established in the Specifications.
.. 3. Work shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of the City of Fort
Worth Water Department, the Texas Department of Transportation, or railroad
company, as applicable.
w
B. MATERIALS:
1. Casing Pipe: Casing pipe shall be steel conforming to ANSI B36.10 and the
following:
a. Field Strength: 35,000 psi minimum.
b. Wall thickness: 0.312 in. minimum (0.5 for railroad crossings),
w C. Diameter: As shown on the drawings (minimum size requirements).
d. Joints: Continuous circumferential weld in accordance with AWS D1 1.
2. Carrier Pipe in Casing: Carrier pipe shall be as shown on drawings and as
specified in the General Contract Documents.

C. EXECUTION
�, 10123108 ASC-5
aw
PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
1. Where sewer pipe is required to be installed under railroad embankments or under
highways, streets or other facilities in other than open cut, construction shall be
performed in such a manner so as to not interfere with the operation of the
railroad, street, highway, or other facility, and so as not to weaken or damage any
embankment or structure. During construction operations, barricades and lights to
safeguard traffic and pedestrians shall be furnished and maintained, until such
time as the backfill has been completed and then shall be removed from the site. ..
2. Pits and Trenches:
a. If the grade of the pipe at the end is below the ground surface, suitable pits
or trenches shall be excavated for the purpose of conducting the jacking or
tunneling operations and for placing end joints of the pipe. Wherever end
trenches are cut in the sides of the embankment or beyond it, such work
shall be sheeted securely and braced in a manner to prevent earth from
caving in. ..
b. The location of the pit shall meet the approval of the Engineer.
C. The pits of trenches excavated to facilitate these operations shall be
backfilled immediately after the casing and carrier pipe installation has
been completed.
3. Boring and Jacking Steel Casing Pipe: Steel casing pipe shall be installed by
boring hole with the earth auger and simultaneously jacking pipe into place.
a. The boring shall proceed from a pit provided for the boring equipment and
workmen. The holes are to be bored mechanically. The boring shall be
done using a pilot hole. By this method an approximate 2-inch hole shall
be bored the entire length of the crossing and shall be checked for line and
grade on the opposite end of the bore from the work pit. This pilot hole
shall serve as the centerline of the larger diameter hole to be bored. Other ..
methods of maintaining line and grade on the casing may be approved if
acceptable to the Engineer. Excavated material shall be placed near the
top of the working pit and disposed of as required. The use of water or
other fluids in connection with the boring operation will be permitted only to

placed in the manner and at the locations shown on the drawings. At the time of
installation, the geotextile shall be rejected if it has defects, rips, holes, flaws,
deterioration or damage incurred during manufacture, transportation or storage. The
surface to receive the geotextile shall be prepared to a relatively smooth condition free
of obstructions, depressions, debris, and soft or low density pockets of material.
Erosion features such as rills, gullies, etc. must be graded out of the surface before
geotextile placement. The geotextile shall be placed with the long dimension
perpendicular to the centerline of the channel and laid smooth and free of tension,
stress, folds, wrinkles, or creases. The strips shall be placed to provide a minimum
width of 24-inches of overlap for each joint. Temporary pinning of the textile to help
hold it in place until the rock riprap is placed. The temporary pins shall be removed as
the riprap is placed to relieve high tensile stress which may occur during placement of
material on the geotextile. The specified placement procedure requires that the length
of the geotextile be greater than the actual slope length. The Contractor shall adjust
the actual length of the geotextile used based on initial installation experience. The
geotextile shall be protected at all times during construction from contamination by
surface runoff and any geotextile so contaminated shall be removed and replaced with
uncontaminated geotextile. Any geotextile damaged during its installation or during
placement of riprap shall be replaced by the Contractor at no cost to the Owner. The
work shall be scheduled so that the covering of the geotextile with a layer of the
specified material is accomplished within seven (7) calendar days after placement of
the geotextile. Failure to comply shall require replacement of geotextile. The
10123108 ASC-13

geotextile shall be protected from damage prior to and during the placement of rock ON
riprap. Before placement of gabion units, the Contractor shall demonstrate that the
placement technique will prevent damage to the geotextile. In no case shall any type
of equipment be allowed on the unprotected geotextile.
3. RIPRAP PLACEMENT: Stone for riprap shall be placed on the filter fabric blanket in
such a manner as to produce a reasonably well graded mass of rock with the
minimum practicable percentage of voids and shall be constructed within the specified
tolerance to the lines and grades shown on the drawings. Then intent of these
specifications is to require placement of riprap to the thickness shown and to allow
isolated stones to extend as much as six inches above grade. Riprap shall be placed �-
to its full course thickness at one operation and in such a manner as to avoid
displacing the fabric. The larger stones shall be well distributed and the entire mass
of stones in their final position shall conform to the gradation specified hereinbefore.
The finished riprap shall be free from objectionable pockets of small stones and
clusters of larger stones. The desired distribution of the various sizes of stones
throughout the mass shall be obtained by selective loading of the material at the ..
quarry or other source, by controlled dumping of successive loads during final placing,
or by other methods of placement which will produce the specified results.
Rearranging of individual stones, by mechanical equipment or by hand will be required
to the extent necessary to obtain a reasonably well graded distribution of stone
specified above. The Contractor shall maintain the riprap protection until accepted.
Any material displaced by any cause shall be replaced at his erosion to the lines and
grades shown on the Drawings. WM
4. GROUT PLACEMENT: Grout shall be composed of cement, water and air -entraining
admixture and sand mixed in the proportions of 1 part of Portland cement to 3 parts of
sand, sufficient water to produce a workable mixture, and that amount of admixture
which will entrain sufficient air to produce durable grout, as determined by the
ENGINEER. Sand for grouting shall conform to the requirements of paragraph: FINE TM
AGGREGATE. The grout shall be mixed in a concrete mixer in the manner specified for
concrete except that the time of mixing shall be increased to that necessary to produce a
mixture having a consistency such as to permit gravity flow into the interstices of the
riprap with the help of limited spading and brooming. The grout shall be used in the
work within a period of one (1) hour after mixing. Retempering of ground will not be
permitted. Riprap shall not be grouted when the ambient temperature is below 35
degree F. or above 95 degrees F. unless approved by the ENGINEER in writing; nor
when the grout, without special protection, is likely to be subjected to freezing
temperatures before final set has occurred. Prior to grouting, all surfaces of riprap shall
be wetted. The riprap shall be grouted in successive longitudinal strips, approximately aw
10 feet in width, commencing at the lowest strip and working up the slope. Grout shall
be brought to the place of final deposit by approved means, and in no case will grout be
permitted to flow on the riprapped surface a distance in excess of 10 feet. Immediately r-
after dumping the batch of grout, it shall be distributed over the surface of the strip by
the use of brooms and the grout worked into place between stones with suitable spades,
trowels, or vibrating equipment. As a final operation, the grout shall be removed from •W
the top surfaces of the upper stones and from pockets and depressions in the surface of
the stone protection. After completion of any strip as specified, no workman or any load
shall be permitted on the grouted surface for a period of at least 24 hours. The grouted �.
surface shall be protected from rain, flowing water, and mechanical injury. The surface
ASC-14

specified. Trench walls of access pits adjacent to the bore or tunnel
face shall be truly vertical. Shore the trench walls as necessary to
protect workmen, the public, structures, roadways, and other
improvements.
2) Excavations within the right-of-way and not under surfacing shall be
backfilled, with type B backfill, and consolidated by tamping in 6"
horizontal layers to 95% of maximum density as measured by ASTM
D-698. Surplus material shall be removed from the right-of-way and
.. 10123108 ASC-27
PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
the excavation finished to original grades. Backfill pits immediately ..,
after the installation of the carrier pipe is completed. If carrier pipe is
not installed immediately after casing pipe installation, the Right -of -
Way Owner may require the access pits be temporarily backfilled
until installation of carrier pipe.
b. INSTALLING CARRIER PIPE IN CASINGS
1) Pipe to be installed within the casing or tunnel liner shall meet the
requirements for this type of pipe as specified. Where indicated,
place, align, and anchor guide rails and/or casing insulators inside
the casing. If guide rails are used, place cement mortar on both
sides of the rails.
2) Pull or skid pipe into place inside the casing. Lubricants such as flax
soap or drilling mud may be used to ease pipe installation. Do not
use petroleum products, oil or grease for this purpose. If guide rails
are used, install pipe and hold down jacks after installation of carrier
pipe.
3) After installation of the carrier pipe, mortar inside and outside of the
joints as applicable. Verify electrical discontinuity between the
carrier pipe and tunnel liner. If continuity exists, remedy the short
prior to applying cellular grout.
4) After carrier pipe installation is complete, if hold down jacks or
casing spacers are used, seal or plug the ends of the casing.
5) After carrier pipe installation is complete, the annular space between
the carrier pipe and tunnel liner or casing shall be completely filled
with cellular grout. The Contractor shall take precautions to prevent
flotation of the carrier pipe. Exterior joint coating (heat shrink
sleeves) is required for polyurethane coated pipe. Provide
necessary bulkheads as recommended by the cellular grout supplier.
If pressure is used to apply grout, verify the maximum allowable
pressure with the carrier pipe manufacturer, and do not exceed this
pressure.
C. FREE -AIR SYSTEM
If required by OSHA standards, free -air systems shall be installed and
maintained.
ftw
d. INSTALLATION OF PRESSURE GROUT MIX
1) Install pressure grout mix in the void space between the outside of the casing pipe or tunnel liner and the excavation. For bore or jacks
with casing pipe, install pressure grout mix immediately upon
completion of setting casing pipe. For tunnel liner plate, install ••
10123108 ASC-28 ow
i
PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
pressure grout mix at the end of each work day or more often as
conditions warrant.
2) Unless specified otherwise, install pressure grouting through grout
fittings for the casing pipe or tunnel liner plate 48" in diameter or
larger. Grout fittings shall be fabricated into casing pipe and tunnel
liner plate at a maximum spacing of 6. Remove and plug grout
fittings after pressure grouting.
3) Install pressure grout from the low end for all crossings where grout
fittings are not used. Seal the low end and pressure grout until grout
is extruded from the opposite end.
CROSSINGS INSTALLED BY BORING
a. Perform the boring from the low or downstream end unless specified
otherwise. Bore the holes mechanically and use a pilot hole. By this
method, an approximate 2" pilot hole shall be bored the entire length of the
crossing and shall be checked for line and grade. This pilot hole shall
serve as the centerline of the larger diameter hole to be bored. Place
excavated material near the top of the working pit and dispose of material
as required. The use of water or other fluids in connection with the boring
operation will be permitted only to the extent to lubricate cuttings. Jetting
shall not be permitted.
b. In unconsolidated soil formations, a gel -forming colloidal drilling fluid
.• consisting of at least 10% of high grade carefully processed bentonite may
be used to consolidate cuttings of the bit, seal the walls of the hole, and
furnish lubrication for subsequent removal of cuttings and installation of the
aw pipe immediately thereafter.
• C. In locations where the soil formation is other than consolidated rock, insert
_ the casing pipe simultaneously with the boring operation. This requirement
applies to all bored holes of 18" or greater in diameter. For smaller
diameter bored holes, it is desirable that the casing be installed as the
boring progresses, but because of differences in soil formations, the time
for inserting the casing shall be the Contractor's responsibility. In the event
that caving sand or water bearing materials are encountered, insert the
casing pipe simultaneously with the boring operation regardless of the
diameter of the bored hole. In all cases, the security and integrity of the
roadway is the primary concern. The Contractor shall be held fully
responsible for the continued integrity of the structure of the roadway being
.. crossed, whether or not a casing pipe is inserted simultaneously with the
boring operation.
.. 4. CROSSINGS INSTALLED BY TUNNELING AND JACKING
F a. Jack the pipe from the low or downstream end, unless specified otherwise.
Provide heavy duty jacks suitable for forcing the pipe through the
embankment. In operating jacks, apply even pressure to the jacks used.
Provide a suitable jacking head and bracing between jacks so that
10123108 ASC-29
UW
PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
pressure will be applied to the pipe uniformly around the ring of the pipe.
Provide a suitable jacking frame or back stop. Set the pipe to be jacked on
guides, properly braced together, to support the section of the pipe and to
direct it in the proper line and grade. Place the whole jacking assembly so
as to line up with the direction and grade of the pipe. In general, excavate
embankment material just ahead of the pipe and material removed through
the pipe. Force the pipe through the embankment with jacks into the space
provided.
b. The excavation for the underside of the pipe, for at least 1/3 of the
circumference of the pipe, shall conform to the contour and grade of the
pipe. Provide a clearance of not more than 2" for the upper half of the
pipe. This clearance shall be tapered off to zero at the point where the
excavation conforms to the contour of the pipe. Extend the distance of the ..
excavation beyond the end of the pipe depending on the character of the
material, but do not exceed 2' in any case. Decrease the distance if the
character of the material being excavated makes it desirable to keep the UW
advance excavation closer to the end of the pipe.
C. If desired, use a cutting edge of steel plate around the head end of the pipe
extending a short distance beyond the end of the pipe with inside angles or `"
lugs to keep the cutting edge from slipping back onto pipe.
d. When jacking of pipe has begun, cant' on the operation without interruption
to prevent the pipe from becoming firmly set in the embankment. Remove
and replace any pipe damaged in the jacking operations. The Contractor
shall absorb the entire expense. ■-
5. CROSSINGS INSTALLED WITH TUNNEL LINER PLATE

liner plates into circumferential rings. Liner plates shall be of the type to
permit segments to be installed completely from inside the tunnel or bore.
b. Accurately maintain the face of the excavation inside the tunnel so as to ..
allow the absolute minimum of void space outside the liner plate. Maintain
a maximum of 1/2" tolerance between the outside of the liner plate and the
excavation wherever possible. The tunnel diameter shall not be greater
than 2" larger than the liner O.D.
C. Liner plate installation shall proceed as closely as possible behind the ..
excavation. Excavation shall at no time be more than 6" ahead of the
required space to install an individual tunnel liner plate. Use breast plates,
poling boards or other suitable devices to maintain accurate excavation
with the minimum of unsupported excavation at any time. Tunnel liner
plate shall not be allowed to deflect vertically during installation.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
.w
This report presents the results of a geotechnical engineering study for a proposed 33,000-linear
foot M-253 sanitary sewer line in Fort Worth, Texas. The proposed sewer line typically parallels
Randol Mill Road, extending from Woodhaven Boulevard eastward to north of Clay Court at
Waterchase Golf Course, to tie into sewer line M-253-A. The proposed line typically varies from 10
to 35 feet below existing grade with one area of the alignment up to 55 feet below existing grade.
Three aerial creek crossings and two bore crossings at Handley Ederville Road and NE Interstate
Loop 820 are planned. The approximate location of exploration borings are illustrated on Plate
M„ A.1, Plan of Borings.
1.2 Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this geotechnical engineering study has been to determine the general subsurface
conditions, evaluate the engineering characteristics of the subsurface materials encountered, and
develop comments on general excavation.
To accomplish its intended purposes, the study has been conducted in the following phases: (1)
drilling sample borings to determine the general subsurface conditions and to obtain samples for
�. testing; (2) performing laboratory tests on appropriate samples to determine pertinent engineering
properties of the subsurface materials; and (3) performing engineering analyses, using the field
and laboratory data to develop geotechnical recommendations for the proposed construction.
The design is currently in progress and the locations and/or elevations of the structure could
w
change. The recommendations contained in this report are based on data supplied by
TranSystems Corporation. Once the final design is near completion (80-percent to 90-percent
stage), it is recommended that CMJ Engineering, Inc. be retained to review those portions of the
construction documents pertaining to the geotechnical recommendations, as a means to determine
.. that our recommendations have been interpreted as intended.

1" 2.0 FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
2.1 Field Exploration
Subsurface materials at the project site were explored by ten (10) vertical soil borings drilled to
depths ranging from 15 to 65 feet. Boring B-6 was not accessible for drilling at the time of this
., investigation. The borings were drilled using continuous flight and hollow stem augers at the
approximate locations shown on the Plan of Borings, Plates AAA and A.1 B. The boring logs are
included on Plates A.4 through A.13 and keys to classifications and symbols used on the logs are
.0
provided on Plates A.2 and A.3.
.. Undisturbed samples of cohesive soils were obtained with nominal 3-inch diameter thin -walled
(Shelby) tube samplers at the locations shown on the logs of borings. The Shelby tube sampler
-o consists of a thin -walled steel tube with a sharp cutting edge connected to a head equipped with a
ball valve threaded for rod connection. The tube is pushed into the soil by the hydraulic pulldown
ow of the drilling rig. The soil specimens were extruded from the tube in the field, logged, tested for
consistency with a hand penetrometer, sealed, and packaged to limit loss of moisture.
The consistency of cohesive soil samples was evaluated in the field using a calibrated hand
penetrometer. In this test a 0.25-inch diameter piston is pushed into the relatively undisturbed
sample at a constant rate to a depth of 0.25 inch. The results of these tests, in tsf, are tabulated at
respective sample depths on the logs. When the capacity of the penetrometer is exceeded, the
.. value is tabulated as 4.5+.
Disturbed samples of the noncohesive granular or stiff to hard cohesive materials were obtained
utilizing a nominal 2-inch O.D. split -barrel (split -spoon) sampler in conjunction with the Standard
Penetration Test (ASTM D 1586). This test employs a 140-pound hammer that drops a free fall
ur
vertical distance of 30 inches, driving the split -spoon sampler into the material. The number of
s Report No. 123-06-06 CMJ ENGINEERING, INC

w.
blows required for 18 inches of penetration is recorded and the value for the last 12 inches, or the
`w penetration obtained from 50 blows, is reported as the Standard Penetration Value (N) at the
1.0
appropriate depth on the logs of borings.
To evaluate the relative density and consistency of the harder formations, a modified version of the
Texas Cone Penetration test was performed at selected locations. Texas Department of
Transportation (TXDOT) Test Method Tex-132-E specifies driving a 3-inch diameter cone with a
170-pound hammer freely falling 24 inches. This results in 340 foot-pounds of energy for each
aw
blow. This method was modified by utilizing a 140-pound hammer freely falling 30 inches. This
results in 350 foot-pounds of energy for each hammer blow. In relatively soft materials, the
mow penetrometer cone is driven 1 foot and the number of blows required for each 6-inch penetration is
tabulated at respective test depths, as blows per'6 inches on the log. In hard materials (rock or
rock -like), the penetrometer cone is driven with the resulting penetrations, in inches, recorded for
the first and second 50 blows, a total of 100 blows. The penetration for the total 100 blows is
recorded at the respective testing depths on the boring logs.
Groundwater observations during and after completion of the borings are shown on the upper right
of the boring log. Upon completion of the borings, the bore holes were backfilled with soil cuttings
and plugged at the surface by hand tamping.
2.2 Laboratory Testing
no Laboratory soil tests were performed on selected representative samples recovered from the
borings. In addition to the classification tests (liquid limits, plastic limits, and percent passing the
No. 200 sieve), moisture content, unconfined compressive strength, and unit weight tests were
performed. Results of the laboratory classification tests, moisture content, unconfined compressive
strength, and unit weight tests conducted for this project are included on the boring logs.
The above laboratory tests were performed in general accordance with applicable ASTM
OW procedures, or generally accepted practice.

3.1 Soil Conditions
3.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Specific types and depths of subsurface strata encountered at the boring locations are shown on
the boring logs in Appendix A. The generalized subsurface stratigraphy encountered in the borings
is discussed below. Note that depths on the borings refer to the depth from the existing grade or
ground surface present at the time of the investigation, and the boundaries between the various
soil types are approximate.
Asphalt concrete is present at the surface in Boring B-11 and is 2 inches in thickness. Fill
«. materials are noted in all borings except Borings B-4, B-8, and B-10. The various soil fills consist
of reddish brown, brown, light reddish brown, and gray sandy clays and sands, typically containing
gravel and limestone fragments. The sand fill present from 3 to 8 feet in Boring B-1 is loose, with a
an
Standard Penetration (N) value of 6 blows per foot of penetration. Fragmented limestone fill is
present in Boring B-2, likely including limestone boulders, from 2 to 29 feet below existing grade.
"' The limestone fill is very dense based on Standard Penetration test values ranging from 1 to 5.5
inches for 50 hammer blows. Very dense gravel fill is present in Boring B-5 from 4 to 12 feet, with
Standard Penetration test values of 2 to 3 inches of penetration for 50 hammer blows. Select fill
materials contain brick, wood, and glass fragments and metal wire debris.
f
Natural soils consist of various brown, dark brown, light brown, reddish brown, light reddish brown,
tan, gray, and light gray sandy clays, silty clays, clays, and shaly clays. Ironstone nodules and
calcareous nodules are frequently present within the natural soils. Gravel seams and limestone
seams were present within the soils in Borings B-3 and B-11. Light reddish brown clayey sands
are present at a depth of 11.5 feet in Boring B-7. These clayey sands are very dense, with a
Standard Penetration (N) value of 59 blows per foot of penetration.
a
The clayey soils encountered are generally firm to hard (soil basis) with pocket penetrometer
values ranging from 1.25 to over 4.5 tsf. The soils encountered had tested Liquid Limits (LL) of 34
a
to 65 with Plasticity Indices (PI) of 20 to 44, and classify as CL and CH according to the USCS.
Tested unit weight and unconfined compressive strength values range from 97 to 130 pcf and 990
to 36,960 psf, respectively.
Tan limestone is next present in Borings B-5, B-8, and B-11 at depths of 27, 6.5, and 11 feet
respectively. These tan limestones are generally hard (rock basis), with Texas Cone Penetrometer

..
(THD) values of 1 inch per 100 hammer blows. Gray shale layers up to 2.5 feet thick are present
within the tan limestone in Boring B-8 and below the tan limestone in Boring B-11. This gray shale
is moderately hard, with a THD value of 2 inches per 100 blows.
ow
Gray limestone is then present in Borings B-4, B-8, and B-11. The gray limestone is very hard to
so extremely hard (rock basis), with THD test values ranging from 0 to 0.75 inch per 100 blows. Shale
seams are present within the gray limestone in Boring B-11 below 31-foot depths.
.. Gray shaly limestone is present below the gray limestone in Boring B-8 at a depth of 17 feet below
existing grade. The shaly limestone contains shale seams below 23 feet and is hard (rock basis),
.. with THD test values of 1 to 1.5 inches per 100 blows.
o„ Gray sandy shale and shale is next present in Borings B-1, B-9, and B-11. These gray shales and
sandy shales are moderately hard to hard (rock basis), with THD values varying from 1.5 to 3.5
inches of penetration for 100 hammer blows.
3.2 Ground -water Observations
..
The borings were drilled using continuous flight augers in order to observe ground -water seepage
during drilling_ Ground -water seepage was encountered during drilling in Borings B-1 and B-3
me through B-5 at 18 to 41 feet below existing grade. Water levels of 14 to 34 feet were measured at
completion in Borings B-1, B-3 through B-5, and B-7. Ground -water was then observed at depths
•w of 14 to 34 feet in Borings B-1, B-3, B-5, and B-7 at the end of the day. Borings B-2 and B-8
through B-10 were dry during drilling and dry at completion of drilling operations. Boring B-11 was
.w dry to a depth of 30 feet. Wet rotary drilling methods were then utilized below this depth in this
boring. Table 3.3-1 summarizes water level data.
no
While it is not possible to accurately predict the magnitude of subsurface water fluctuation that
might occur based upon these short-term observations, it should be recognized that ground -water
"" conditions will vary with fluctuations in rainfall. Seepage near the observed levels should be
anticipated throughout the year.
..
Fluctuations of the ground -water level can occur due to seasonal variations in the amount of
qW rainfall; site topography and runoff; hydraulic conductivity of soil strata; and other factors not

Due to the variable subsurface conditions, long-term observations would be necessary to more
accurately evaluate the
ground -water level. Such observations would require installation of
piezometer or observation wells which are sealed to prevent the influence of surface water.
4.0 FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 General Foundation Considerations
Two independent design criteria must be satisfied in the selection of the type of foundation to
40 support the proposed aerial crossings. First, the ultimate bearing capacity, reduced by a sufficient
factor of safety, must not be exceeded by the bearing pressure transferred to the foundation soils.
w. Second, due to consolidation or expansion of the underlying soils during the operating fife of the
structure, total and differential vertical movements must be within tolerable limits.
..
4.2 Straight -Shaft Design Parameters
4.2.1 Genera! Considerations
Auger excavated, cast -in -place reinforced concrete straight -shaft drilled piers will provide a suitable
means of transmitting structural loads of the aerial crossings to the bearing material.
Recommendations and parameters for the design of cast -in -place straight -shaft drilled piers are

outlined below. Specific recommendations for the construction and installation of the straight -shaft
drilled piers are included in the following section, and shall be followed during construction.
4.2.2 Aerial Crossing at Borina B-1
Bearing Stratum Gray SANDY SHALE
Depth of Bearing Stratum: Approximately 43 feet below existing grades
Required Penetration/Depth: All piers should penetrate into the bearing stratum a
minimum of 3 feet, or one pier diameter, whichever is
greater. Deeper penetrations may be required to
develop additional skin friction and/or uplift resistance.
Allowable End Bearing Capacity: 16,000 psf
Allowable Skin Friction: Applicable below a temporary casing and below a
minimum penetration of 3 feet into gray sandy shale;
1,800 psf for compressive loads and 1,000 psf for
tensile loads.
4.2.3 Aerial Crossina at Borina B-4
Bearing Stratum Gray LIMESTONE
Depth of Bearing Stratum: Approximately 27.5 feet below existing grades
Required Penetration/Depth: All piers should penetrate into the bearing stratum a
minimum of 2 feet, or one pier diameter, whichever is
greater. Deeper penetrations may be required to
develop additional skin friction and/or uplift resistance.
Allowable End Bearing Capacity: 40,000 psf
Allowable Skin Friction: Applicable below a temporary casing and below a
minimum penetration of 2 feet into gray limestone;
6,500 psf for compressive loads and 5,000 psf for
tensile loads.
4.2.4 Aerial Crossina at Borina B-5
Bearing Stratum Tan LIMESTONE
Depth of Bearing Stratum: Approximately 27 feet below existing grades
Required Penetration/Depth: All piers should penetrate into the bearing stratum a
minimum of 3 feet, or one pier diameter, whichever is
greater. Deeper penetrations may be required to
develop additional skin friction and/or uplift resistance.
Allowable End Bearing Capacity: 15,000 psf
Allowable Skin Friction: Applicable below a temporary casing and below a
minimum penetration of 3 feet into tan limestone; 2,000
psf for compressive loads and 1,300 psf for tensile
loads.
Report No. 123-06-06 CMJ ENGINEERING, INC.

.i
"W
4.2.5 Straight Shaft Desiqn Considerations
The above values contain a safety factor of three (3). Skin friction is applicable for that portion of
the shaft embedded in the bearing stratum described above below any temporary casing.
aw Penetrations greater than the minimum penetration may be required to develop additional skin
.s
friction and/or uplift resistance.
For lateral shaft resistance, an allowable passive resistance of 1,000 psf may be considered in the
overlying clays. Lateral shaft resistance should not be considered within the upper 15 feet.
In order to develop full load carrying capacity in skin friction, adjacent shafts should have a
..
minimum center -to -center spacing of 3 times the diameter of the larger shaft. Closer spacing may
require some reductions in skin friction and/or changes in installation sequences. Closely spaced
"' shafts should be examined on a case -by -case basis. As a general guide, the design skin friction
will vary linearly from the full value at a spacing of 3 diameters to 50 percent of the design value at
,,,, 1 diameter.
A minimum pier diameter of 24 inches is recommended. Settlements for properly installed and
constructed straight shafts will be primarily elastic and are estimated to be one inch or less.
4.3 Soil Induced Uplift Loads
The drilled shafts could experience tensile loads as a result of post construction heave in the site
soils. The magnitude of these loads varies with the shaft diameter, soil parameters, and
particularly the in -situ moisture levels at the time of construction. In order to aid in the structural
f design of the reinforcement, the reinforcement quantity should be adequate to resist tensile forces
based on soil adhesion equal to 1,500 psf acting over the upper 10 feet of the pier shaft This load
must be resisted by the dead load on the shaft, continuous vertical reinforcing steel in the shaft,
and a shaft adhesion developed within the bearing strata as previously discussed for straight
shafts.
OW
..
4.4 Drilled Shaft Construction Considerations
Drilled pier construction should be monitored by a representative of the geotechnical engineer to
observe, among other things, the following items:
Identification of bearing material
we Report No. 123-06-06 CMJ ENGWEMNG, INC
-40
PW
• Adequate penetration of the shaft excavation into the bearing layer
• The base and sides of the shaft excavation are clean of loose cuttings
If seepage is encountered, whether it is of sufficient amount to require the use of temporary
steel casing. If casing is needed it is important that the field representative observe that a
high head of plastic concrete is maintained within the casing at -all times during their
extraction to prevent the inflow of water
It should be anticipated that ground -water seepage will be encountered during installation of the
straight shafts and that seepage rates and/or caving will be sufficient to require the use of _
temporary casing for installation of the straight shafts_ The casing should be seated in the bearing
stratum with all water and most loose material removed prior to beginning the design penetration.
Care must then be taken that a sufficient head of plastic concrete is maintained within the casing
during extraction.
If the water cannot be controlled, we recommend the concrete be placed by a tremie or by using a
concrete pump. If this method is utilized, end bearing should be neglected and the shaft design
based entirely on skin friction. In this case deeper penetrations will be required. Test shafts are
recommended to determine if temporary casing will be sufficient to seal off the ground -water
seepage or if underwater concrete techniques are required.
Tremied or pumped -in concrete for straight shafts should take place as continuously as possible
until the concrete placement is complete. The bottom of the discharge pipe should always be kept
below the surface of the concrete.
via Before tremied or pumped -in concrete is used, care should be taken to ensure that the water is at
a stabilized level and muck is removed to as low a level as possible, which will provide for a thin
water solution to be displaced during concrete placement. The pipe or tremie is to be plugged
when inserted into the pier and lowered until it is resting on the bottom of the hole. It should be
filled with concrete and then lifted off the bottom about 1 foot. The concrete should then be placed
"' in a continuous operation until all water is forced out of the hole. The tremie or pipe must always
have about 5 feet of pipe into the concrete. Once the water is forced from the pier, the remaining
,,. concreting operation will be the same as for a cased hole.
_ Shaft excavations should be performed with equipment suitable to perform this work by a
contractor experienced in this area. Extremely hard layers of limestone or sandstone can be
MW
Report No.123-06-06 CVSJ ENGINEERING, INc

,.
+w
encountered. It should be anticipated that large boulders of limestone or sandstone could
+ potentially not be penetrated with augers and could require special drilling techniques.
Precautions should be taken during the placement of reinforcing steel and concrete to prevent
loose, excavated soil from falling into the excavation. Concrete should be placed as soon as
practical after completion of the drilling, cleaning, and observation. Excavation for a drilled pier
should be filled with concrete before the end of the workday, or sooner if required to prevent
deterioration of the bearing material. Prolonged exposure or inundation of the bearing surface with
water will result in changes in strength and compressibility characteristics. If delays occur, the
drilled pier excavation should be deepened as necessary and cleaned, in order to provide a fresh
+ bearing surface.
The concrete should have a slump of 6 inches plus or minus 1 inch. The concrete should be
placed in a manner to prevent the concrete from striking the reinforcing cage or the sides of the
excavation. Concrete should be tremied to the bottom of the excavation to control the maximum
free fall of the plastic concrete to less than 10 feet.
In addition to the above guidelines, the specifications from the Association of Drilled Shaft
Contractors Inc. "Standards and Specifications for the Foundation Drilling Industry" as Revised
1999 or other recognized specifications for proper installation of drilled shaft foundation systems
should be followed_
5.0 TRENCH / BORE EXCAVATIONS
"w 5.1 Expected Subsurface Conditions
The project site spans across several miles of terrain, traveling though at least three different
%W geological formations. The soils encountered in the borings can be excavated using conventional
earthwork equipment. In Borings B-8, B-9, and B-11, the proposed sewer line will be located within
+ natural, intact, and massive shale, shaly limestone, and limestone and also within limestone fill
present in Boring B-2. These 'rock" materials will require heavy duty specialized equipment for
aw excavation. In addition, overexcavation should be anticipated within the shales and shaly
limestones. Overexcavation may result from large blocks or chunks breaking along either
weathered or clay seams beyond the planned excavation.
No
WN Report No.123-06-06 CMJ ENGINEERING, ING

r
r
Selected zones of shale, limestone, gravel seams/layers and limestone fills were noted within the
" borings, and can be difficult to remove or excavate. Readers should understand these materials
do pose a potential threat of difficulty in excavation and may exacerbate caving potential.
5.2 Open Cut
aw The trench excavations should be performed in accordance with OSHA Safety and Health
Standards (29 CFR 1926/1919), Subpart P. For excavations less than 5 feet deep through the
various clays, it is expected that near vertical excavation walls will be possible. However, in the
MW
case that excavations occur through soft clays, granular soils, non -compacted fill, or submerged
soils it will be necessary to either slope the excavation sidewalls or provide temporary bracing to
'o control excavation wall instability. In addition, for excavations deeper than 5 feet, the excavation
sidewalls must be sloped or temporary bracing must be provided, regardless of the soil conditions
MW encountered.
.. 5.3 Trench / Bore Pit Dewatering
As discussed in Section 3.3, Ground -water Observations, ground -water conditions can vary with
seasonal fluctuations in rainfall. In the case that ground -water is encountered, controlling the
ground -water is essential to construction of the sewer line. Failure to control any encountered
ground -water could result in trench wall collapse, trench bottom heave, an unstable trench bottom
and detrimental pipeline settlement and pipe deflections after back -filling. Ground -water levels
should be maintained at lease two feet below the bases of the excavation for the full term of
construction. Protection of the open excavations should be provided during periods of moderate to
heavy rainfall, as surface water will most likely channel and collect in the excavations. The water
level should be lowered prior to excavating and should be maintained at this lowered level until the
pipe trench is back -filled. It is likely that seepage may be controlled by means of collection ditches,
sumps, and pumping. However, in the event that water infiltration rates are high, it may be
necessary to install a more elaborate dewatering system. The design of any dewatering system
required is the contractor's responsibility.
5.4 Soft Trench Bottom Conditions
Where fills are encountered in selected locations, some caving may occur. Soft trench bottom
conditions are unlikely where the trench bottom is situated in the natural clays, as is the case with
the planned sewer line, but soft conditions may occur. Unstable trench bottoms are considered to
low Report No. 123-06-06 C'Mf ENGINEERING, INC
11
rr
W
be unsuitable for support of the pipe. Soft clays could occur where ground -water is present. In
`o any areas where unsuitable bearing materials are encountered at the planned invert elevation, the
trench bottom can be prepared using the following method:
• Under -cut to a suitable bearing subgrade and replace with a structural compacted fill. The
over -excavation should extend laterally a distance of at least 1 foot beyond the edges of the
pipe, and then at least 1 foot laterally for every 1.5 feet of fill required beneath the pipe.
The over -excavation backfill should' be completely surrounded with a geotextile consisting
of Mirafi 140N, Amoco ProPex 4545, or equivalent. The backfill should consist of a free
draining aggregate (Le., sands, gravels, crushed limestdne, or crushed concrete) approved
by the geotechnical engineer. The backfill should be placed in maximum 9-inch loose lifts
and uniformly compacted to a minimum relative density of 65 percent as determined by test
methods ASTM D 4253 and D 4254.
10
5.5 Excavation Considerations
_ If open trench cuts are performed within 1.25 times the trench depth of any surface structure,
trench -shoring (not trench boxes) should be used within open trench cuts performed within this
distance. Hydraulic shoring struts should be used and installed during excavation as needed to
` provide full lateral support to vertical trench sidewalls and thereby help reduce lateral ground
movements near existing structures. A pre -construction condition survey should be performed
•. prior to beginning excavation near any structure that could be affected by the trench excavation to
verify existing conditions (existing distress) prior to construction. Construction monitoring should
aw be performed to verify that existing structures are not impacted or damaged by construction
operations.
Any pavement structure (concrete, asphalt, base course material or stabilized subgrade) should
extend a minimum of 12 inches beyond the edge of the excavation trench_ This additional width of
pavement structure greatly reduces the potential for reflective cracking upwards into the pavement.
.. 5.6 Trench Backfill
Pipe embedment should be a coarse -grained cohesioniess material that will properly fill the area
below the spring line of the pipe. This bedding should extend above the pipe a minimum of 6
inches to provide protection of the pipe during placement of the trench backfill.
Report No.123-06-06
CM7 ENGENEERING, INC.
wr

«.
WMN
Site excavated materials are generally considered suitable for use as backfill above the pipe
"" bedding materials. All trench backfill should be free of deleterious materials. Use of rock
fragments greater than 4 inches in any dimension should be prohibited, since attaining a uniform
.. moisture and density without voids would be difficult. Backfill should be compacted in maximum 8-
inch loose lifts at a minimum of 95 percent of the Standard Proctor density (ASTM D 698). The
uncompacted lift thickness should be reduced to 4 inches for structure backfill zones requiring
hand -operated power compactors or small self-propelled compactors.
_
Clay soils having a Plasticity Index greater than 20 should be compacted at a moisture content
ranging from 0 to plus 4 percentage points above the optimum moisture content. Granular soils
"' having a PI less than 20 should be compacted at a moisture content ranging from minus 3 to plus 3
percentage points of the optimum moisture content_ Jetting to compact the pipe backfill should not
,Mo be allowed. In areas where settlement of the backfill must be closely controlled, the trench
my
excavation should be backfilled with either cement stabilized sand or flowable concrete having a
28-day compressive strength ranging between 50 and 200 psi.
In order to reduce the potential for erosion, cement stabilized sands or flowable concrete can also
be considered where the pipe exits slopes associated with drainage swales, and will not require
compaction after placement.
5.7 Trench Backfill Settlement
Settlement of the backfill soils should be anticipated. It is anticipated that properly compacted on -
site clay fill soils will settle between about 1 and 2 percent of the fill thickness. For example, 10
feet of fill would be expected to settle on the order of 1.2 to 2.4 inches.
The trench backfill could be over -built in order to reduce the potential for a surface depression
VW
along the trench centerline. We recommend the backfill be crowned. The centerline of the
excavation should be over -built by one foot and sloped down to match grade at the edge of the
No excavation.
= 5.8 Provisions to Reduce Backfill Settlement
Field testing will be a critical element in controlling the compaction of the backfill to limit settlement.
All trench backfilling in these critical areas shall include full-time observation of soil compaction by
an experienced geotechnician under the supervision of the geotechnical engineer. The contractor
= Report No. 123-0"6 CMJ ENGINEERING; INC
13
Ow
MW
should provide protection for the testingfinspection personnel while working in the trenches, and
shall move the protective shield/shoring such that areas to be tested are readily accessible. The
compacted moisture/density of all backfill soils should be tested at a rate of one test per 100 linear
,,. feet of trench, for each lift of fill placed, during compaction. Digging through existing lifts of backfill
to access and test underlying lifts should not be allowed.
,.
In addition, to limit settlement, where Class 1 and Class 2 crushed stone materials are used as
pipe bedding materials, they should be wrapped with a suitable geotextile to limit the intrusion of
fines into the crushed stone material_
5.9 Bore/Tunnel Considerations
Bore/tunnel excavations are anticipated to encounter stiff to hard silty clays, sandy clays, clays,
and shaly clays, except in the vicinity of Boring B-2, where very dense limestone fills are present
from 2 feet below existing grade extending below the proposed pipe elevation. Ground -water will
likely seep into bore/tunnel excavations, and should be anticipated. Joints in the clays and within
the limestone fill can serve as conduits to direct water towards the bore 'excavation_ Water
seepage can decrease the stability of the bore/tunnel excavation and result in ground subsidence.
Proper de -watering, as discussed above, is imperative for excavation stability.
6.0 EARTHWORK
6.1 Site Preparation & Field Testing
The subgrade should be firm and able to support the construction equipment without displacement.
.. Soft or yielding subgrade should be corrected and made stable before construction proceeds. The
subgrade should be proof rolled to detect soft spots, which if exist, should be excavated to provide
a firm and otherwise suitable subgrade. Proof rolling should be performed using a heavy
pneumatic tired roller, loaded dump truck, or similar piece of equipment. The proof rolling
operations should be observed by the project geotechnical engineer or his/her representative.
Prior to fill placement, the subgrade should be scarified to a minimum depth of 6 inches, its
moisture content adjusted, and recompacted to the moisture and density recommended for fill.
Fill materials should be uniform with respect to material type and moisture content. Clods and
.. chunks of material should be broken down and the fill material mixed by disking, blading, or
plowing, as necessary, so that a material of uniform moisture and density is obtained for each lift.
Report No.123-06-06 CMJ ENGINEERING, INc
14
rr
fto
Water required for sprinkling to bring the fill material to the proper moisture content should be
" applied evenly through each layer.
Field density tests should be taken as each lift of fill material is placed. As a guide, one field
density test per lift for each 5,000 square feet of compacted area is recommended. For small
areas or critical areas the freMW quency of testing may need to be increased to one test per 2,500
square feet. A minimum of 2 tests per lift should be required. The earthwork operations should be
observed and tested on a continuing basis by an experienced geotechnician working in conjunction
J0
with the project geotechnical engineer.
Each lift should be compacted, tested, and approved before another lift is added. The purpose of
the field density tests is to provide some indication that uniform and adequate compaction is being
obtained. The actual quality of the fill, as compacted, should be the responsibility of the contractor
and satisfactory results from the tests should not be considered as a guarantee of the quality of the
contractor's filling operations.
6.2 Excavation
The side slopes of excavations through the overburden soils should be made in such a manner to
provide for their stability during construction. Existing structures, pipelines or other facilities, which
are constructed prior to or during the currently proposed construction and which require
excavation, should be protected from loss of end bearing or lateral support.
Temporary construction slopes and/or permanent embankment slopes should be protected from
surface runoff water. Site grading should be designed to allow drainage at planned areas where
erosion protection is provided, instead of allowing surface water to flow down unprotected slopes.
., Trench safety recommendations are beyond the scope of this report. The contractor must comply
with all applicable safety regulations concerning trench safety and excavations including, but not
limited to, OSHA regulations.
%M 6.3 Soil Corrosion Potential
Speck testing for soil corrosion potential was not included in the scope of this study. However,
r• based upon past experience on other projects in the vicinity, the soils at this site may be corrosive.
�r Report No. 123-06-06 CMJ ENGINEERING, INC
15
"/
+W
Standard construction practices for protecting metal pipe and similar facilities in contact with these
soils should be used.
No 6.4 Erosion and Sediment Control
All disturbed areas should be protected from erosion and sedimentation during construction, and
... all permanent slopes and other areas subject to erosion or sedimentation should be provided with
permanent erosion and sediment control facilities. All applicable ordinances and codes regarding
erosion and sediment control should be followed.
7.0 CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATIONS
In any geotechnical investigation, the design recommendations are based on a limited -amount of
information about the subsurface conditions. In the analysis, the geotechnical engineer must
assume the subsurface conditions are similar to the conditions encountered in the borings.
However, quite often during construction anomalies in the subsurface conditions are revealed.
Therefore, it is recommended that CMJ Engineering, Inc. be retained to observe earthwork and
foundation installation and perform materials evaluation during the construction phase of the
project. This enables the geotechnical engineer to stay abreast of the project and to be readily
available to evaluate unanticipated conditions, to conduct additional tests if required and, when
necessary, to recommend alternative solutions to unanticipated conditions. Until these
construction phase services are performed by the project geotechnical engineer, the
recommendations contained in this report on such items as final foundation bearing elevations,
proper soil moisture condition, and other such subsurface related recommendations should be
considered as preliminary.
It is proposed that construction phase observation and materials testing commence by the project
geotechnical engineer at the outset of the project. Experience has shown that the most suitable
method for procuring these services is for the owner or the owner's design engineers to contract
directly with the project geotechnical engineer. This results in a clear, direct line of communication
between the owner and the owner's design engineers and the geotechnical engineer.

8.0 REPORT CLOSURE
The borings for this study were selected by TranSystems Corporation and CMJ Engineering, Inc.
The locations and elevations of the borings should be considered accurate only to the degree
implied by the methods used in their determination. The boring logs shown in this report contain
information related to the types of soil encountered at specific locations and times and show lines
delineating the interface between these materials. The logs also contain our field representative's
interpretation of conditions that are believed to exist in those depth intervals between the actual
_ samples taken. Therefore, these boring logs contain both factual and interpretive information.
Laboratory soil classification tests were also performed on samples from selected depths in the
borings. The results of these tests, along with visual -manual procedures were used to generally
classify each stratum. Therefore, it should be understood that the classification data on the logs of
borings represent visual estimates of classifications for those portions of each stratum on which the
full range of laboratory soil classification tests were not performed. It is not implied that these logs
are representative of subsurface conditions at other locations and times.
With regard to ground -water conditions, this report presents data on ground -water levels as they
were observed during the course of the field work. In particular, water level readings have been
made in the borings at the times and under conditions stated in the text of the report and on the
boring logs. It should be noted that fluctuations in the level of the ground -water table can occur
.. with passage of time due to variations in rainfall, temperature and other factors. Also, this report
does not include quantitative information on rates of flow of ground water into excavations, on
pumping capacities necessary to dewater the excavations, or on methods of dewatering
excavations. Unanticipated soil conditions at a construction site are commonly encountered and
cannot be fully predicted by mere soil samples, test borings or test pits. Such unexpected
conditions frequently require that additional expenditures be made by the owner to attain a property
designed and constructed project. Therefore, provision for some contingency fund is
recommended to accommodate such potential extra cost.
The analyses, conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on site
conditions as they existed at the time of our field investigation and further on the assumption that
.. the exploratory borings are representative of the subsurface conditions throughout the site; that is,
the subsurface conditions everywhere are not significantly different from those disclosed by the
UW borings at the time they were completed. If, during construction, different subsurface conditions
from those encountered in our borings are observed, or appear to be present in excavations, we

UW
must be advised promptly so that we can review these conditions and reconsider our
recommendations where necessary. If there is a substantial lapse of time between submission of
this report and the start of the work at the site, if conditions have changed due either to natural
causes or to construction operations at or adjacent to the site, or if structure locations, structural
loads or finish grades are changed, we urge that we be promptly informed and retained to review
our report to determine the applicability of the conclusions and recommendations, considering the
changed conditions and/or time lapse.
Further, it is urged that CMJ Engineering, Inc. be retained to review those portions of the plans and
specifications for this particular project that pertain to earthwork and foundations as a means to
determine whether the plans and specifications are consistent with the recommendations
contained in this report. In addition, we are available to observe construction, particularly the
.. compaction of structural fill, or backfill and the construction of foundations as recommended in the
report, and such other field observations as might be necessary.
The scope of our services did not include any environmental assessment or investigation for the
presence or absence of wetlands or hazardous or toxic materials in the soil, surface water, ground
water or air, on or below or around the site.
.. This report has been prepared for use in developing an overall design concept. Paragraphs,
statements, test results, boring logs, diagrams, etc. should not be taken out of context, nor utilized
.. without a knowledge and awareness of their intent within the overall concept of this report. The
reproduction of this report, or any part thereof, supplied to persons other than the owner, should
indicate that this study was made for design purposes only and that verification of the subsurface
conditions for purposes of determining difficulty of excavation, trafficability, etc. are responsibilities
of the contractor.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of TranSystems Corporation for speck
application to design of this project. The only warranty made by us in connection with the services
provided is that we have used that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised under similar
.. conditions by reputable members of our profession practicing in the same or similar locality. No
other warranty, expressed or implied, is made or intended.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
..► M-253 SANITARY SEWER LINE
FORT WORTH, TEXAS
MW
Dear Mr. Lunski:
INTRODUCTION
CMJ Engineering, Inc. is pleased to present herein the results of the geotechnical engineering
investigation for the referenced project. This study was performed in general accordance with
our Proposal No. 06-1738 (Revision 3) dated February 14, 2007. The geotechnical services
.. were authorized by Mr. Kent A. Lunski, P.E.
The project, as currently planned, consists of an approximately 33,000-linear foot sanitary sewer
a' line. The proposed line typically varies from 10 to 35 feet below existing grade with one area of
the alignment up to 55 feet below existing grade. Three aerial crossings and two bore crossings
are planned. At this time, geotechnical fieldwork is underway. One boring was drilled on
September 21, 2007 at approximate Sta •73+75 for the coinciding aerial crossing to the east.
Plate A.1 depicts the sewer line alignment and location of the exploration boring. This letter
contains geotechnical guidelines and recommendations specifically for the referenced aerial
crossing foundation. The final geotechnical study for the entire project will be presented at a
later date.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface materials at the project site were explored by one boring drilled to a depth of 35 feet
on the western bank of the proposed aerial crossing. The boring was drilled using truck
mounted drill equipment at the approximate location shown on the Plan of Boring, Plate A.1.

The boring log is included on Plate A.4 and keys to classifications and symbols used on the logs
are provided on Plates A.2 and A.3.
Specific types and depths of subsurface strata encountered at the boring location are shown on
the boring log in Appendix A. The generalized subsurface stratigraphy encountered in the
boring is discussed below.
The predominant soils encountered consist of dark brown and brown clays of high plasticity.
The clays contain ironstone nodules and are generally hard (soil basis) with pocket
penetrometer values of over 4.5 tsf. Tested Liquid Limit (ILL) values are 63 and 65 with
Plasticity Indices (PI) of 38 and 41 and classify as CH according to the USCS.
Gray limestone is then present in the boring at a depth of 27.5 feet below existing grade. The
gray limestone is very hard to extremely hard (rock basis), with Texas Cone Penetrometer
(THD) test values of 0 inches of penetration for 100 hammer blows.
The borings were drilled using continuous flight augers to observe the potential for water
seepage during the drilling process. Ground -water seepage was observed in the boring at a
depth of 27.5 feet during drilling. A water level of 16 feet was then observed at the completion
of drilling operations. While it is not possible to accurately predict the magnitude of subsurface
water fluctuation that might occur based upon these short-term observations, it should be
recognized that ground -water conditions will vary with fluctuations in rainfall. Seepage levels
near the observed levels should be anticipated throughout the year.
Fluctuations of the ground -water level can occur due to seasonal variations in the amount of
rainfall; site topography and runoff; hydraulic conductivity of soil strata; and other factors not
evident at the time the borings were performed. The possibility of ground -water level fluctuation
should be considered when developing the design and constriction plans for the project. The
possibility exists that perched water may occur atop the limestone possibly with high hydrostatic
head, particularly after periods of heavy or extended rainfall.

Recommendations and parameters for the design of cast -in -place straight -shaft drilled piers are
outlined below. Specific recommendations for the construction and installation of the straight -
shaft drilled piers are included in the following section, and shall be followed during construction.
Bearing Stratum Gray LIMESTONE
Depth of Bearing Stratum: Approximately 27.5 feet below existing grades
Required Penetration/Depth: All piers should penetrate into the bearing stratum a
minimum of 2 feet, or one pier diameter, whichever is
greater. Deeper penetrations may be required to
develop additional skin friction and/or uplift
No resistance.
Allowable End Bearing Capacity: 40,000 psf
Allowable Skin Friction: Applicable below a temporary casing and below a
minimum penetration of 2 feet into gray limestone;
6,500 psf for compressive loads and 5,000 psf for
tensile loads.
The above values contain a safety factor of three (3). It should be anticipated that ground -water
s seepage will be encountered during installation of the straight shafts. Skin friction is applicable
for that portion of the shaft embedded gray limestone below any temporary casing.
Penetrations greater than the minimum penetration may be required to develop additional skin
friction and/or uplift resistance.
For lateral shaft resistance, an allowable passive resistance of 1,000 psf may be considered in
the overlying clays. Lateral shaft resistance should not be considered within the upper 15 feet.
_ In order to develop full load carrying capacity in skin friction, adjacent shafts should have a
minimum center -to -center spacing of 3 times the diameter of the larger shaft. Closer spacing
may require some reductions in skin friction and/or changes in installation sequences. Closely
F spaced shafts should be examined on a case -by -case basis. As a general guide, the design
skin friction will vary linearly from the full value at a spacing of 3 diameters to 50 percent of the
v design value at 1 diameter.
A minimum pier diameter of 24 inches is recommended. Settlements for properly installed and
.. constructed straight shafts in gray limestone will be primarily elastic and are estimated to be one
inch or less.

Soil Induced Uplift Loads
The drilled shafts could experience tensile loads as a result of post construction heave in the
site soils. The magnitude of these loads varies with the shaft diameter, soil parameters, and
particularly the in -situ moisture levels at the time of construction. In order to aid in the structural
design of the reinforcement, the reinforcement quantity should be adequate to resist tensile
forces based on soil adhesion equal to 1,500 psf acting over the upper 10 feet of the pier shaft.
This load must be resisted by the dead load on the shaft, continuous vertical reinforcing steel in
the shaft, and a shaft adhesion developed within the bearing strata as previously discussed for
straight shafts.
Drilled Shaft Construction Considerations
Drilled pier construction should be monitored by a representative of the geotechnical engineer to
observe, among other things, the following items:
• Identification of bearing material
• Adequate penetration of the shaft excavation into the bearing layer
• The base and sides of the shaft excavation are clean of loose cuttings
• If seepage is encountered, whether it is of sufficient amount to require the use of
temporary steel casing. If casing is needed it is important that the field representative
observe that a high head of plastic concrete is maintained within the casing at all times
during their extraction to prevent the inflow of water
It should be anticipated that ground -water seepage will be encountered during installation of the
straight shafts penetrating the gray limestone and that seepage rates and/or caving will be
sufficient to require the use of temporary casing for installation of the straight shafts. The casing
should be seated in the bearing stratum with all water and most loose material removed prior to
beginning the design penetration. Care must then be taken that a sufficient head of plastic
concrete is maintained within the casing during extraction.
Precautions should be taken during the placement of reinforcing steel and concrete to prevent
loose, excavated soil from falling into the excavation. Concrete should be placed as soon as
practical after completion of the drilling, cleaning, and observation. Excavation for a drilled pier
` should be filled with concrete before the end of the workday, or sooner if required to prevent
deterioration of the bearing material. Prolonged exposure or inundation of the bearing surface
with water will result in changes in strength and compressibility characteristics. If delays occur,

CMJ Project 123-06-06

the drilled pier excavation should be deepened as necessary and cleaned, in order to provide a
fresh bearing surface.
The concrete should have a slump of 6 inches plus or minus 1 inch. The concrete should be
placed in a manner to prevent the concrete from striking the reinforcing cage or the sides of the
excavation. Concrete should be tremied to the bottom of the excavation to control the maximum
free fall of the plastic concrete to less than 10 feet, or focused between the reinforcing cage to
prevent concrete segeregation.
.. In addition to the above guidelines, the specifications from the Association of Drilled Shaft
Contractors Inc. "Standards and Specifications for the Foundation Drilling Industry" as Revised
1999 or other recognized specifications for proper installation of drilled shaft foundation systems
should be followed.
EARTHWORK
Site Preparation
The subgrade should be firm and able to support the construction equipment without
displacement. Soft or yielding subgrade should be corrected and made stable before
construction proceeds. The subgrade should be proof rolled to detect soft spots, which if exist,
should be excavated to provide a firm and otherwise suitable subgrade. Proof rolling should be
performed using a heavy pneumatic tired roller, loaded dump truck, or similar piece of
equipment. The proof rolling operations should be observed by the project geotechnical
engineer or his/her representative.
Placement and Compaction
Fill material should be placed in loose lifts not exceeding 8 inches in uncompacted thickness.
The uncompacted lift thickness should be reduced to 4 inches for structure backfill zones
requiring hand -operated power compactors or small self-propelled compactors. The fill material
should be uniform with respect to material type and moisture content. Clods and chunks of
material should be broken down and the fill material mixed by disking, blading, or plowing, as
.. necessary, so that a material of uniform moisture and density is obtained for each lift. Water
required for sprinkling to bring the fill material to the proper moisture content should be applied
evenly through each layer.

The on -site soils are suitable for use in site grading. Imported fill material should be clean soil
with a Liquid Limit less than 60 and no rock greater than 4 inches in maximum dimension. The
fill materials should be free of vegetation and debris.
The fill material should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum dry density
determined by the Standard Proctor test, ASTM D 698. In conjunction with the compacting
operation, the fill material should be brought to the proper moisture content. The moisture
content for general earth fill should range from 2 percentage points below optimum to 5
percentage points above optimum (-2 to +5). These ranges of moisture contents are given as
maximum recommended ranges. For some soils and under some conditions, the contractor
may have to maintain a more narrow range of moisture content (within the recommended range)
K in order to consistently achieve the recommended density.
Field density tests should be taken as each lift of fill material is placed. As a guide, one field
density test per lift for each 5,000 square feet of compacted area is recommended. For small
areas or critical areas the frequency of testing may need to be increased to one test per 2,500
square feet. A minimum of 2 tests per lift should be required. The earthwork operations should
be observed and tested on a continuing basis by an experienced geotechnician working in
conjunction with the project geotechnical engineer.
Each lift should be compacted, tested, and approved before another lift is added_ The purpose
of the field density tests is to provide some indication that uniform and adequate compaction is
being obtained. The actual quality of the fill, as compacted, should be the responsibility of the
contractor and satisfactory results from the tests should not be considered as a guarantee of the
quality of the contractor's filling operations.
Trench Backfill
Trench backfill for pipelines or other utilities should be properly placed and compacted. Overly
dense or dry backfill can swell and create a mound along the completed trench line. Loose or
wet backfill can settle and form a depression along the completed trench line_ Distress to
overlying structures, pavements, etc. is likely if heaving or settlement occurs. On -site soil fill
.. material is recommended for trench backfill. Care' should be taken not to use free draining
granular material, to prevent the backflled trench from becoming a french drain and piping
surface or subsurface water beneath structures, pipelines, or pavements. If a higher class
bedding material is required for the pipelines, a lean concrete bedding will limit water intrusion

into the trench and will not require compaction after placement. The soil backfill should be
placed in approximately 4- to 6-inch loose lifts. The density and moisture content should be as
recommended for fill in the previous section, Placement and Compaction, of this report. A
minimum of one field density test should be taken per lift for each 150 linear feet of trench, with
— a minimum of 2 tests per lift_
Excavation
The side slopes of excavations through the overburden soils should be made in such a manner
to provide for their stability during construction. Existing structures, pipelines or other facilities,
which are constructed prior to or during the currently proposed construction and which require
excavation, should be protected from loss of end bearing or lateral support.
Temporary construction slopes and/or permanent embankment slopes should be protected from
surface runoff water. Site grading should be designed to allow drainage at planned areas where
erosion protection is provided, instead of allowing surface water to flow down unprotected
slopes.
Permanent slopes at the site should be as flat as practical to reduce creep and occurrence of
shallow slides. The following slope angles are recommended as maximums.
Height (ft.) Horizontal to Vertical
.0 — 3 1:1
3-6 2:1
6-9 3:1
> 9 4:1
The above angles refer to the total height of a slope. Site improvement should be maintained
away from the top of the slope to reduce the possibility of damage due to creep or shallow
slides.
Acceptance of Imported Fill
Any soil imported from off -site sources should be tested for compliance with the
recommendations for the particular application and approved by the project geotechnical

engineer prior to the materials being used. The owner should also require the contractor to
No obtain a written, notarized certification from the landowner of each proposed off -site soil borrow
source stating that to the best of the landowner's knowledge and belief there has never been
contamination of the borrow source site with hazardous or toxic materials. The certification
should be furnished to the owner prior to proceeding to furnish soils to the site. Soil materials
derived from the excavation of underground petroleum storage tanks should not be used as fill
_ on this project
Soil Corrosion Potential
Specific testing for soil corrosion potential was not included in the scope of this study. However,
based upon past experience on other projects in the vicinity, the soils at this site may be
corrosive. Standard construction practices for protecting metal pipe and similar facilities in
contact with these soils should be used.
Erosion and Sediment Control
All disturbed areas should be protected from erosion and sedimentation during construction,
} and all permanent slopes and other areas subject to erosion or sedimentation should be
provided with permanent erosion and sediment control facilities. All applicable ordinances and
codes regarding erosion and sediment control should be followed.
M
Utilities
Care should be taken that utility cuts are not left open for extended periods, and that the cuts
are properly backfilled. Backfilling should be accomplished with properly compacted on -site
soils, rather than granular materials.
Trench excavations should be sloped or braced in the interest of safety. Attention is drawn to
OSHA Safety and Health Standards (29 CFR 192611910), Subpart P, regarding trench
excavations greater than 5 feet in depth.
REPORT CLOSURE
The boring for this study were selected by TranSystems Corporation and staked by CMJ
Engineering, Inc. using normal taping methods and topographic features. The actual borehole

Dear Mr. Lunski:
INTRODUCTION
CMJ Engineering, Inc. is pleased to present herein the results of the geotechnical engineering
investigation for the referenced project. This study was performed in general accordance with
our Proposal No. 08-2602 dated September 15, 2008. The geotechnical services were
authorized on October 16, 2008 by Mr. Kent A. Lunski, P.E.
MW
The project, as currently planned, consists of an approximately 33,000-linear foot sanitary sewer
line. The proposed line typically varies from 10 to 35 feet below existing grade with one area of
the alignment up to 55 feet below existing grade. CMJ Engineering performed ten borings along
the proposed sewer alignment, with results presented in CMJ Report 123-06-06 dated
December 14, 2007. Select boring locations were inaccessible at the time of the previous
investigation. Two additional borings have been requested at locations of the clients' interest
along the proposed alignment. At the present time, only one of the two requested locations was
accessible for drilling, near Sta. 35+00. Only this location is discussed herein.
Plate A.1 depicts the sewer line alignment and location of the additional exploration boring,
Boring B-12. This letter contains geotechnical guidelines and recommendations specifically for
the referenced boring location. The remaining requested additional boring and related test
.. results will be presented at such time as drilling can be performed.

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface materials at the project site were explored by one boring drilled to a depth of 65
so
feet. The boring was drilled using truck mounted drill equipment at the approximate location
shown on the Plan of Boring, Plate A.1. The boring log is included on Plate A.4 and keys to
No classifications and symbols used on the logs are provided on Plates A.2 and A.3. The surface
elevation of the boring location was estimated from topographic information on a plan sheet
entitled "Sanitary Sewer Replacement, M-253 — Part 1, Plan & Profile, From Sta. 28+96.37 to
Sta. 37+00" dated January 2007 provided by TranSystems, Inc.
`w Specific types and depths of subsurface strata encountered at the boring location are shown on
the boring log in Appendix A. The generalized subsurface stratigraphy encountered in the
MW boring is discussed below.
Near surface soils consist of various reddish brown and brown clayey sands, sands, and
'" cemented sands. These surficial sands are generally medium dense to very dense, with
Standard Penetration (N) values of 24 to greater than 50 blows per foot of penetration. Light
No brown sandy shaly clays are present below a depth of 7 feet and contain abundant sand seams.
These clays are hard (soil basis), with Standard Penetration (N) values ranging from 46 to 74,
Gray shale with 2- to 3-inch thick limestone seams is then present in the boring at a depth of
23.5 feet below existing grade. The gray limestone is moderately hard to hard (rock basis)
MW above 40 feet, with Texas Cone Penetrometer (THD) test values of 2.75 to 4.75 inches of
penetration for 100 hammer blows. Below 40 feet, the gray shale is considered hard to very
hard, with corresponding THD test values of 1 to 2 inches.
The borings were drilled using continuous flight augers to observe the potential for water
seepage during the drilling process. Ground -water seepage was not observed in the boring and
was dry at the completion of drilling operations. While it is not possible to accurately predict the
magnitude of subsurface water fluctuation that might occur based upon these short-term
.. observations, it should be recognized that ground -water conditions will vary with fluctuations in
rainfall.
Fluctuations of the ground -water level can occur due to seasonal variations in the amount of
rainfall; site topography and runoff; hydraulic conductivity of, soil strata; and other factors not

Excavation
aw The side slopes of excavations through the overburden soils should be made in such a manner
to provide for their stability during construction. Existing structures, pipelines or other facilities,
which are constructed prior to or during the currently proposed construction and which require
excavation, should be protected from loss and end bearing or lateral support.
.. Temporary construction slopes and/or permanent embankment slopes should be protected from
surface runoff water. Site grading should be designed to allow drainage at planned areas where
erosion protection is provided, instead of allowing surface water to flow down unprotected
.. slopes.
.. Trench safety recommendations are beyond the scope of this report. The contractor must
comply with all applicable safety regulations concerning trench safety and excavations
including, but not limited to, OSHA regulations.
Selected sections of utility excavations may encounter ground water. In selected zones, the
no ground -water infiltration may be significant. The contractor must be prepared to eliminate
excess water from the excavation trench, and special shoring/shielding may be required by
OSHA guidelines to prevent undue caving of sidewalls into the excavation. In general, it is _
anticipated that the majority of seepage inflow into construction excavations can be handled
with sump pits and pumps.
Comments on Horizontal Bore
Borings B-12 encountered predominately sandy and shaly clay soils to a depth of 23.5 feet.
Below this depth, gray shale with limestone seams is present. Any tunnel bores extending into
this shale strata will be encountering moderately hard to very hard and intact rock. Wherein the
majority of the upper soils appear quite amenable to tunnel boring activities, any shale
containing limestone seams may require special tools to remove/excavate/drill through.

Dear Mr. Lunski:
.r Thank you for your letter received June 24, 2008 concerning the replacement of the Fort
Worth Sanitary Sewer Main 253 in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas. This project has been
assigned Project Number SWF-2006-00424. Please include this number in all future
No correspondence concerning this project. Failure to reference the project number may result in a
delay.
.� We have reviewed this project in accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. Under Section 404, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) regulates the discharge of dredged and fill material into waters of the United
States, including wetlands. The USACE responsibility under Section 10 is to regulate any work
in, or affecting, navigable waters of the United States. Based on your description of the proposed
work, other information available to us, and current regulations and policy, we have determined
that this project will not involve any of the above activities. Therefore, it will not require
Department of the Army authorization under the above laws. However, it is incumbent upon you
to remain informed of any changes in USACE Regulatory Program regulations and policy as they
relate to your project.
The USACE based this decision on a non -approved jurisdictional determination (JD) that
there are waters of the United States on the project site. This non -approved JD is valid for a
period of no more than five years from the date of this letter unless new information warrants
revision of the delineation before the expiration date. It is incumbent upon the applicant to
remain informed of changes in the Department of the Army regulations.

�.. Conclusions and Recommendations
�- CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
On behalf of the City of Fort Worth, Hicks & Company archeologists have
completed a linear, 100% pedestrian survey along approximately 32,000 feet
(9.7 km) of a proposed replacement M-253 sewer line in northeastern Fort
Worth, Texas. The majority of the project corridor traverses the Trinity River's
southern floodplain. With a 30-foot overall construction and maintenance
easement width, archeologists investigated approximately 20.6 acres. A total of
32 shovel tests and 14 backhoe trenches were excavated in completion of the
survey with nearly one-third of the sewer line easement visually inspected only
due to extensive roadway and utility -related disturbance. None of the tests
excavated contained archeological features, artifacts or other evidence of
cultural resources, nor were any historic properties noted from ground surfaced
inspection.
Approximately 1,750 in (7.96 acres) of the proposed sewer main, on three
properties, could not be surveyed due to a lack of right of entry. Approximately
400 meters of these areas is heavily disturbed fill with no potential for intact
buried cultural deposits. The remaining 1,350 meters of non right of entry
properties are relatively intact and there is a potential for archeological deposits
to be present, however based on the overwhelmingly negative results of survey of
the entire project area, the close proximity of the existing M-253 line, the
supposed fill that composes portions of this area as well as subsurface testing
adjacent to these areas, that potential is low. While there is no subsurface
inspection to confirm this, it is very likely that there are no cultural resources
within areas that could not be surveyed directly, particularly within the project's
depth of impact.
At this time, the City of Fort Worth plans to leave the existing M-253 sewer line
in place and fill its abandoned segments with cement through the existing
manholes. If this method is employed, this will result in no (or very minimal)
ground disturbance and potential impacts to subsurface deposits will likewise
be minimal.
Based on the results of extensive backhoe trenching, shovel testing, and surface
inspection regulatory clearance for the project to proceed relative to the City of
Fort Worth's responsibilities under Section 106 of the NHPA and the TAC is
recommended with no historic properties affected. This recommendation
includes both those portions of the survey corridor that were accessible and
those for which right of entry was denied. In the unlikely event that cultural
materials are found during construction, all work in the vicinity is recommended
to cease until such time as the THC can be contacted and a professional
archeologist can assess the finding and make recommendations for any future
action that may be required.
'.� This report is offered in partial fulfillment of the requirement of TAC Permit
4859. Since no artifacts or sites were found during the course of survey, all
project -related materials will be maintained at Hicks & Company's offices in
Austin, Texas.

Now Texas Water Development Board SMWBE Guidance Document (SRF-052v.5)
rev. 07/21 /06
I. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Background - The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) receives grants f rom the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide low -interest loans to eligible political
subdivisions. As a direct result of the United States Supreme Court's decision in
Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Pena 115 S. Ct 2097 (1995) , the EPA established new
policies governing Small, Minority and Women -Owned Business Enterprises (SMWBE).
These new policies are included in the Grants and Operating Agreements between the
EPA and TWDB, and apply to all recipients of financial assistance.
B. EPA Policy - EPA's policy (policy) requires recipients of its financial assistance to
establish Fair Share Goals (goals) for awarding contracts and procuring goods and
services from SMWBE's in the construction, supplies, equipment, and services
procurement categories. The policy is meant to ensure that SMWBE's have the
.w opportunity to participate in the procu rement process, for all phases of the project. It is
important to note that although the policy includes small (SBE) and rural area (SBRA)
business enterprises, EPA is only statutorily required to collect data and enforce fair
share goal objectives for Minority and Women -Owned business enterprises. TWDB will
continue to collect information on SBE and SBRA participation, but those contract
awards will not count towards the MBE and WBE goals.
... C. Applicability - EPA's policy applies to all procurements made after May 8, 1998, for the
Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) Drinking Water State Revolving Fund
program (DWSRF), Tier III Clean Water State Revolving Fund program (CWSRF) and
Colonia Wastewater Treatment Assistance Program (CWTAP). TWDB programs not
affected by this policy are: Water Quality Enhancement (WQE), Water Supply Account
(WSA), State Participation, Agricultural Loans and Grants, Tier II Clean Water State
Revolving Fund program (CWSRF) and Economically Distressed Areas Program
(EDAP).
D. Guidance Document - The intent of the SMWBE guidance document is to assist
applicants and contractors comply with EPA's policy regarding S MWBE's. It is based, in
.. part, on publications, training m anuals and other guidance documents developed by
EPA to implement their policies published in 40 CFR Parts 30, 31, and 35. The guide
also ensures consistency with the Supreme Court's decision in Adarand Constructors,
Inc_ v. Pena 115 S. Ct. 2097 (1995).
E. Benefits - The Affirmative Steps Outreach Program is designed to benef it both
recipients of EPA funds and the business community. Applicants can receive lower
interest rates on loans in com parison to those available on the open- market, as well as
having access to a greater pool of potential contractors to bid on their projects. This
increased competition could have the affect of lowering overall project costs, thus,
lessening the repayment burden on the Applicant.
F. TWDB Role - The TWDB strives to provide all the necessary technical assistance
needed to both applicants and prim a contractors throughout all phases of the project.
This can include reviewing draft newspaper advertisements, Request for Qualifications
(RFQ), and Information for Bids (IFB) to ensure SMWBE components are included; and
scheduling pre -application, project management, pre -bid and pre -construction
conferences upon request.

III. FAIR SHARE POLICY
A. Fair Share Policy - It is EPA's policy that recipients of EPA financial assistance through
grants, cooperative agreements and loans put forth a good faith effort to identify, solicit and if
possible, award a fair share of contracts/procurements to small, minority and women -owned
businesses. This policy applies to all contracts/procurements for construction, supplies,
equipment and services. In accordance with these guidelines, the TWDB has established
and presently administers the SMWBE program, to promote SMWBE participation for all
applicable program projects.
B. Fair Share Goals - The goals shown below were developed using data from the 1997 United
States Economic Census, which determined the availability of small, minority and women -
owned businesses throughout the State. The goals are applied to individual project contracts
and procurements, which then determines the maximum potential procurement opportunities
(in dollars) that are available to be awarded to M BE's and WBE's in each of the applicable
procurement categories. It is important to note that the goals are not achievement standards
or quotas, nor is achieving the goals mandatory. However, applicants and prime contractors
(includina minority and women -owned businesses) are required to adequately demonstrate
that a good faith effort was made to achieve the goals using EPA's six affirmative steps. The
fair share goals are negotiated by individual states, and are then presented to EPA for
approval.
The current EPA -approved fair share goals for the State of Texas are as follows:
Procurement MBE Goal WBE Goat
•� Category ? Percentage (%) Percentage
i Construction 34% 8%
Supplies 16% 29%
Equipment 13% 13%
Services 22% 26%

IV. GOOD FAITH EFFORT
A. General - To ensure compliance with the EPA's Good Faith Effort Policy and Affirmative
Steps Outreach Program, the TWDB recommends that all applicants review their own
procurement policies and procedures to see if/how SMWBE's are addressed. For
applicants that may have outdated or unwritten procurement procedures, the six
affirmative steps outlined below, provide an excellent starting point for updating and/or
developing written procurement procedures to address SMWBE's.
B. Six Affirmative Steps
(1) Include qualified SMWBE's on solicitation lists;
(2) Solicit potential SMWBE's, whenever they are potential sources;
(3) Reduce contract size/quantities, when economically feasible, to permit
maximum participation of SBE's SMWBE's;
.. (4) Establish delivery schedules to encourage participation by SMWBE's;
(5) Use the services and assistance of the SBA, the Minority Business
Development Agency, the U.S. Department of Commerce, as appropriate;
-� (6) Require Prime Contractor's to follow steps 1-5 when awarding subcontracts
or sub -agreements.
C. Professional Service/Other Contracts - As part of the application phase, applicants
-- typically enter into prime contracts for professional services such as Financial Advisor,
Bond Counsel, and Consultant Engineer. In addition to following the Six Affirmative Steps,
the Applicant must also procure professional services in accordance with Title 10, Chapter
2254 of the Texas Government Code (Professional Services Procurement Act) and Title
40 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 31 (Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants
and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments).
D. Contractor Selection - Recipients are responsible for establishing their own criteria for
awarding contracts and for reviewing RFQ's, IFB's, and other bid documents to determine
their validity and acceptability. Although the TWDB does not oversee this as pect of the
process, it does recommend that adequate documentation be maintained to show the
openness of the selection process and the method used to select the proposalfbid to
ensure compliance with EPA's policy.
E. Documentation
♦ Financial Application Phase - As part of the financial application package, applicants must
submit documentation certifying an understanding of EPA's good faith effort policy,
including the fair share goals and six affirmative steps. This information is documented on
TWDB form WRD-215, APPLICANT AFFIRMATIVE STEPS CERTIFICATION and
GOALS.
Note: It is not uncommon for applicants to procure the services of Financial Advisor,
Bond Counsel, and Consultant Engineer during the financial application phase. However,
' they must have been procured in accordance w ith EPA's good faith effort policy to be
funded with federal loan proceeds.
♦ Subseauent Proiect Phases - Once the TWDB approves the loan commitment, applicants
may proceed with the planning, design, and construction phases of the project, as directed
by the TWDB review/project engineer. For each new procurement or contract award, the
applicant (in the procurements of prime contractors) and the prime contractors (in the
procurement of subcontractors) must demonstrate their understanding and adherence to
EPA's good faith effort policy for all project costs to be funded with federal loan proceeds.

.. A. This contract is contingent upon release of funds from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB).
B. Any contractor contracts awarded under this Invitation for Bid (IFB) or Request for Qualifications (RFQ)
are expected to be funded in part by a loan from the TWDB. Neither the State of Texas nor any of its
departments, agencies, or employees are or will be a party to this IFB, RFQ, or any resulting contract.
C. This contract is subject to the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "fair share policy", which includes
EPA -approved "fair share goals" for Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) & Women Business Enterprise (WBE)
firms in the Construction, Supplies, Equipment, and Services procurement categories. EPA's policy requires
that applicants and prime contractors make a good faith effort to award a fair share of contracts, subcontracts,
and procurements to SMWBE's. Although EPA's policy does not mandate that the fair share goals be
achieved, it does require applicants and prime contractors to demonstrate us of the six affirmative steps. The

V. AFFIRMATIVE STEPS OUTREACH PROGRAM
..
A. Affirmative Step One: Include qualified SMWBE's on solicitation lists
.. See "Tips for Achieving a Good Faith Effort in Procurement" on previous page.
B. Affirmative Step Two: Solicit potential SMWBE's, whenever they are potential sources
♦ DIRECT COMMUNICATION - Use of direct communication as a means to solicit potential
contractors can include contact by certified letter, facsimile, e-mail and by telephone. Direct
communication implies that a contractor solicitation list has been established; this list must be
provided as backup documentation to the WRD-216 form when submitted.
♦ INDIRECT COMMUNICATION - Use of indirect communication as a means to solicit potential
contractors can include advertising in one or more local, regional or statewide newspapers,
trade association publications, m inority media outlets, Internet or other website listings, and/or
by notifying women and minority business organizations and chambers of commerce of these
procurement opportunities. Newspaper advertisements must run in accordance with applicable
purchasing guidelines and must include a statement encouraging the participation of minorities,
women and small businesses submitting an RFQ and/or bid.
C. Affirmative Step Three: Reduce contract size/quantities, when economically feasible, to
permit maximum participation of SBE's SMWBE's
Reducing contract size increases the opportunity for SMWBE participation by dividing the work
into smaller increments that may be more favorable to smaller businesses. An optimum time to
consider reducing contract size is during the project design phase. Methods for reducing
contract size could include, but are not limited to: reviewing the project for opportunities to
stage work; dividing multiple -site work; dividing work by task; limiting "brand name
requirements"; and soliciting multiple bid items.
D. Affirmative Step Four: Establish Delivery Schedules to Encourage Participation
Delivery schedules can sometimes determine whether a firm will be able to participate in the
procurement process. Short delivery schedules often favor larger firms that have more staff
and more available resources to complete big projects in a short period of time. Advanced
planning and adequate project management can allow for reasonable delivery schedules,
lengthening response time to receive bids and/or proposals, and can even increase
competition, which can lead to reduced cost to the applicant.
E. Affirmative Step Five: Use the services and assistance of the SBA, the Minority
.� Business Development Agency, and the U.S. Department of
Commerce, as appropriate
The SBA and the Department of Commerce (DOC) Minority Business Development Agency
(MBDA) both manage outreach programs to assist SMWBE's business increase their
procurement opportunities. The SBA assists small businesses in the development of business
plans, financing, and education; applicants are encouraged to educate contractors on the
services available to them through these government organizations. See Affirmative Step One
for web links to those agencies.
F. Affirmative Step Six: Require all Prime contractors to follow steps 1-5 when
awarding subcontracts/sub-agreements
Prime Contractors are required to follow steps 1-5 when awarding subcontracts/sub-
agreements. They are also required to include the applicable "fair share objectives" in all
project bid documents when soliciting for subcontracting opportunities. Including this
information in the bid document/RFP ensures the potential bidder's awareness of the
requirement and notification to comply. Any contract or subcontract awarded without regard to
the "fair share objectives" can be considered ineligible for loan funding by the TWDB.
