This project will have no impact on the Water Department operating budget when completed. Available cash within the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City’s portfolio along with the appropriation authority authorized under Callable Commercial Paper Program (CP) will be used to provide interim financing for this project until debt is issued. Once debt associated with this project is sold, bond proceeds will be used to reimburse the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City’s portfolio in accordance with the attached Reimbursement Resolution. Under federal law, debt must be issued within approximately three years in order for these expenses to be reimbursable. Adoption of the attached resolution does not obligate the City to sell bonds, but preserves the ability of the City to reimburse itself from tax-exempt bond proceeds. It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) plan throughout the Fiscal Year, instead of within the annual budget ordinance, as projects commence, additional funding needs are identified, and to comply with bond covenants. The actions in the M&C will appropriate funds in support of the Water ’s portion of the City of Fort Worth’s Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program.

Purpose The City of Fort Worth (City) is committed to delivering quality, cost-effective infrastructure to its citizens in a timely manner. A key tool to achieve this purpose is a properly structured schedule with accurate updates. This supports effective monitoring of progress and is input to critical decision making by the project manager throughout the life of the project. Data from the updated project schedule is utilized in status reporting to various levels of the City organization and the citizenry. This Document complements the City's Standard Agreement to guide the construction contractor (Contractor) in preparing and submitting acceptable schedules for use by the City in project delivery. The expectation is the performance of the work follows the accepted schedule and adhere to the contractual timeline. The Contractor will designate a qualified representative (Project Scheduler) responsible for developing and updating the schedule and preparing status reporting as required by the City. 1.2 PRICE AND PAYMENT PROCEDURES A. Measurement and Payment 1. Work associated with this Item is considered subsidiary to the various items bid. No separate payment will be allowed for this Item. 2. Non-compliance with this specification is grounds for City to withhold payment of the Contractor’s invoices until Contractor achieves said compliance. 1.3 REFERENCES A. Project Schedules CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revised October 6, 2023 VCWRF BIO SOLIDS FACILITY BANK STABILIZATION CITY PROJECT NUMBER: 103128 01 32 16 - 2 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE Page 2 of 10 Each project is represented by City’s master project schedule that encompasses the entire scope of activities envisioned by the City to properly deliver the work. When the City contracts with a Contractor to perform construction of the Work, the Contractor will develop and maintain a schedule for their scope of work in alignment with the City’s standard schedule requirements as defined herein. The data and information of each such schedule will be leveraged and become integral in the master project schedule as deemed appropriate by the City’s Project Control Specialist and approved by the City’s Project Manager. 1. Master Project Schedule The master project schedule is a holistic representation of the scheduled activities and milestones for the total project and be Critical Path Method (CPM) based. The City’s Project Manager is accountable for oversight of the development and maintaining a master project schedule for each project. When the City contracts for the design and/or construction of the project, the master project schedule will incorporate elements of the Design and Construction schedules as deemed appropriate by the City’s Project Control Specialist. The assigned City Project Control Specialist creates and maintains the master project schedule in P6 (City’s scheduling software). 2. Construction Schedule The Contractor is responsible for developing and maintaining a schedule for the scope of the Contractor’s contractual requirements. The Contractor will issue an initial schedule for review and acceptance by the City’s Project Control Specialist and the City’s Project Manager as a baseline schedule for Contractor’s scope of work. Contractor will issue current, accurate updates of their schedule (Progress Schedule) to the City at the end of each month throughout the life of their work. B. Schedule Tiers The City has a portfolio of projects that vary widely in size, complexity and content requiring different scheduling to effectively deliver each project. The City uses a “tiered” approach to align the proper schedule with the criteria for each project. The City's Project Manager determines the appropriate schedule tier for each project, and includes that designation and the associated requirements in the Contractor’s scope of work. The following is a summary of the “tiers”. 1. Tier 1: Small Size and Short Duration Project (design not required) The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. No schedule submittal is required from Contractor. City’s Project Control Specialist acquires any necessary schedule status data or information through discussions with the respective party on an as-needed basis. 2. Tier 2: Small Size and Short to Medium Duration Project The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. The Contractor identifies “start” and “finish” milestone dates on key elements of their work as agreed with the City’s Project Manager at the kickoff of their work effort. The Contractor issues to the City, updates to the “start” and “finish” dates for such milestones at the end of each month throughout the life of their work on the project. 3. Tier 3: Medium and Large Size and/or Complex Projects Regardless of Duration CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revised October 6, 2023 VCWRF BIO SOLIDS FACILITY BANK STABILIZATION CITY PROJECT NUMBER: 103128 01 32 16 - 3 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE Page 3 of 10 The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. The Contractor develops a Baseline Schedule and maintains the schedule of their respective scope of work on the project at a level of detail (generally Level 3) and in alignment with the WBS structure in Section 1.4.H as agreed by the Project Manager. The Contractor issues to the City, updates of their respective schedule (Progress Schedule) at the end of each month throughout the life of their work on the project. C. Schedule Types Project delivery for the City utilizes two types of schedules as noted below. The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule as a “baseline” schedule and issue monthly updates to the City Project Manager (end of each month) as a “progress” schedule. The Contractor prepares and submits each schedule type to fulfill their contractual requirements. 1. Baseline Schedule The Contractor develops and submits to the City, an initial schedule for their scope of work in alignment with this specification. Once reviewed and accepted by the City, it becomes the “Baseline” schedule and is the basis against which all progress is measured. The baseline schedule will be updated when there is a change or addition to the scope of work impacting the duration of the work, and only after receipt of a duly authorized change order issued by the City. In the event progress is significantly behind schedule, the City’s Project Manager may authorize an update to the baseline schedule to facilitate a more practical evaluation of progress. An example of a Baseline Schedule is provided in Specification 01 32 16.1 Construction Project Schedule Baseline Example. 2. Progress Schedule The Contractor updates their schedule at the end of each month to represent the progress achieved in the work which includes any impact from authorized changes in the work. The updated schedule must accurately reflect the current status of the work at that point in time and is referred to as the “Progress Schedule”. The City’s Project Manager and Project Control Specialist reviews and accepts each progress schedule. In the event a progress schedule is deemed not acceptable, the unacceptable issues are identified by the City within 5 working days and the Contractor must provide an acceptable progress schedule within 5 working days after receipt of non-acceptance notification. An example of a Progress Schedule is provided in Specification 01 32 16.2 Construction Project Schedule Progress Example. D. City Standard Schedule requirements The following is an overview of the methodology for developing and maintaining a schedule for delivery of a project. CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revised October 6, 2023 VCWRF BIO SOLIDS FACILITY BANK STABILIZATION CITY PROJECT NUMBER: 103128 01 32 16 - 4 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE Page 4 of 10 1. Schedule Framework - The schedule will be based on the defined scope of work and follow the (Critical Path Methodology) CPM method. The Contractor’s schedule will align with the requirements of this specification and will be cost loaded to reflect their plan for execution. Compliance with cost loading can be provided with traditional cost loading of line items OR a projected cost per month for the project when the initial schedule is submitted, updated on a quarterly basis is significant change is anticipated. Overall schedule duration will align with the contractual requirements for the respective scope of work and be reflected in City’s Master Project Schedule. The Project Number and Name of the Project is required on each schedule and must match the City’s project data. E. Schedule File Name All schedules submitted to the City for a project will have a file name that begins with the City’s project number followed by the name of the project followed by baseline (if a baseline schedule) or the year and month (if a progress schedule), as shown below. • Baseline Schedule File Name Format: City Project Number_Project Name_Baseline Example: 101376_North Montgomery Street HMAC_Baseline • Progress Schedule File Name Format: City Project Number_Project Name_YYYY-MM Example: 101376_North Montgomery Street HMAC_2018_01 • Project Schedule Progress Narrative File Name Format: City Project Number_Project Name_PN_YYYY-MM Example: 101376_North Montgomery Street HMAC_PN_2018_01 F. Schedule Templates The Contractor will utilize the relevant sections from the City’s templates provided in the City’s document management system as the basis for creating their respective project schedule. Specifically, the Contractor’s schedule will align with the layout of the Construction section. The templates are identified by type of project as noted below. • Arterials • Aviation • Neighborhood Streets • Sidewalks (later) • Quiet Zones (later) • Street Lights (later) • Intersection Improvements (later) • Parks • Storm water • Street Maintenance • Traffic • Water G. Schedule Calendar CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revised October 6, 2023 VCWRF BIO SOLIDS FACILITY BANK STABILIZATION CITY PROJECT NUMBER: 103128 01 32 16 - 5 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE Page 5 of 10 The City’s standard calendar for schedule development purposes is based on a 5-day workweek and accounts for the City’s nine standard holidays (New Years, Martin Luther King, Memorial, Juneteenth, Independence, Labor, Thanksgiving, day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas). The Contractor will establish a schedule calendar as part of the schedule development process and provide to the Project Control Specialist as part of the basis for their schedule. Variations between the City’s calendar and the Contractor’s calendar must be resolved prior to the City’s acceptance of their Baseline project schedule. H. WBS & Milestone Standards for Schedule Development The scope of work to be accomplished by the Contractor is represented in the schedule in the form of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The WBS is the basis for the development of the schedule activities and shall be imbedded and depicted in the schedule. The following is a summary of the standards to be followed in preparing and maintaining a schedule for project delivery. 1. Contractor is required to utilize the City’s WBS structure and respective project type template for “Construction” as shown in Section 1.4.H below. Additional activities may be added to Levels 1 - 4 to accommodate the needs of the organization executing the work. Specifically, the Contractor will add activities under WBS XXXXXX.80.83 “Construction Execution” that delineates the activities associated with the various components of the work. 2. Contractor is required to adhere to the City’s Standard Milestones as shown in Section 1.4.I below. Contractor will include additional milestones representing intermediate deliverables as required to accurately reflect their scope of work. I. Schedule Activities Activities are the discrete elements of work that make up the schedule. They will be organized under the umbrella of the WBS. Activity descriptions should adequately describe the activity, and in some cases the extent of the activity. All activities are logically tied with a predecessor and a successor. The only exception to this rule is for “project start” and “project finish” milestones. The activity duration is based on the physical amount of work to be performed for the stated activity, with a maximum duration of 20 working days OR a continuous activity in one location. If the work for any one activity exceeds 20 days, break that activity down incrementally to achieve this duration constraint. Any exception to this requires review and acceptance by the City’s Project Control Specialist. J. Change Orders When a Change Order is issued by the City, the impact is incorporated into the previously accepted baseline schedule as an update, to clearly show impact to the project timeline. The Contractor submits this updated baseline schedule to the City for CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revised October 6, 2023 VCWRF BIO SOLIDS FACILITY BANK STABILIZATION CITY PROJECT NUMBER: 103128 01 32 16 - 6 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE Page 6 of 10 review and acceptance as described in Section 1.5 below. Updated baseline schedules adhere to the following: 1. Time extensions associated with approved contract modifications are limited to the actual amount of time the project activities are anticipated to be delayed, unless otherwise approved by the Program Manager. 2. The re-baselined schedule is submitted by the Contractor within ten workdays after the date of receipt of the approved Change Order. 3. The changes in logic or durations approved by the City are used to analyze the impact of the change and is included in the Change Order. The coding for a new activity(s) added to the schedule for the Change Order includes the Change Order number in the Activity ID. Use as many activities as needed to accurately show the work of the Change Order. Revisions to the baseline schedule are not effective until accepted by the City. K.

Survey Equipment, Control, and Datum Standards A. City Benchmarks All city benchmarks can be found here: http://fortworthtexas.gov/itsolutions/GIS/ Look for ‘Zoning Maps’. Under ‘Layers’ , expand ‘Basemap Layers’, and check on ‘Benchmarks’. B. Conventional or Robotic Total Station Equipment I. A minimum of a 10 arc-second instrument is required. II. A copy of the latest calibration report may be requested by the City at any time. It is recommended that an instrument be calibrated by certified technician at least 1 occurrence every 6 months. C. Network/V.R.S. and static GPS Equipment I. It is critical that the surveyor verify the correct horizontal and vertical datum prior commencing work. A site calibration may be required and shall consist of at least 4 control points spaced evenly apart and in varying quadrants. Additional field checks of the horizontal and vertical accuracies shall be completed and the City may ask for a copy of the calibration report at any time. II. Network GPS such as the Western Data Systems or SmartNet systems may be used for staking of property/R.O.W, forced-main water lines, and rough-grade only. No GPS staking for concrete, sanitary sewer, storm drain, final grade, or anything that needs vertical grading with a tolerance of 0.25’ or less is allowed. D. Control Points Set I. All control points set shall be accompanied by a lath with the appropriate Northing, Easting, and Elevation (if applicable) of the point set. Control points can be set rebar, ‘X’ in concrete, or any other appropriate item with a stable base and of a semi-permanent nature. A rebar cap is optional, but preferred if the cap is marked ‘control point’ or similar wording. II. Datasheets are required for all control points set. Datasheet should include: A. Horizontal and Vertical Datum used, Example: N.A.D.83, North Central Zone 4202, NAVD 88 Elevations Page 5 of 24 B. Grid or ground distance. – If ground, provide scale factor used and base point coordinate, Example: C.S.F.=0.999125, Base point=North: 0, East=0 C. Geoid model used, Example: GEOID12A E. Preferred Grid Datum Although many plan sets can be in surface coordinates, the City’s preferred grid datum is listed below. Careful consideration must be taken to verify what datum each project is in prior to beginning work. It is essential the surveyor be familiar with coordinate transformations and how a grid/surface/assumed coordinate system affect a project.

Construction vehicles will not be allowed to traffic directly on the fabric. Avoid over-stressing the soil by utilizing equipment in spreading and dumping that exerts only moderate pressures on the soil. Severe rutting at the time of placement is an indication of over-stressing the soil. Such soil over- stressing must be avoided. Increasing aggregate depths and reducing loads are two methods of reducing the pressures on the soil. Fill any ruts which develop during spreading or compacting with additional aggregate rather than blading from surrounding areas. Thoroughly compact the aggregate with vibratory rollers after placement.

CONTRACTOR shall provide the name and location of and contact information for any plant supplier. 3. CONTRACTOR shall provide planting schedule (start and completion dates). 4. The CONTRACTOR shall furnish a copy of any tickets, tags, or manifests for purchased and/or harvested plant materials. 2.05 HANDLING A. All plant material shall be handled with care to limit stress and damage. Damaged seed, shrubs, trees, and/or live stakes shall not be used. B. In digging, loading, transporting, unloading, planting, or otherwise handling plants, the CONTRACTOR shall exercise utmost care and use adequate precautions to prevent injury to Plantings 32 90 00 - 3 CITY PROJECT NO: 103128 VCWRF BIO SOLIDS FACILITY BANK STABILIZATION February 2023 or drying out of the trunk, branches, or roots as well as prevent freezing of the plant roots. Container vegetation must always be handled by the container and never by the tops of the plants. Unless directed otherwise by the ENGINEER, vegetative plantings shall be dormant at the time of acquisition and planting but living based on the presence of young buds and green bark. Vegetation Plantings shall be installed between November 15 and May 15, unless directed otherwise by the ENGINEER. C. No planting shall be done when the temperature is below 32 degrees F, when soil to be excavated for the plant hole is frozen, when the sides or bottom of the plant hole are frozen, or when the soil to be used for backfilling is frozen or too wet. No trees shall be planted in utility easements or under utility lines, whether or not indicated on the plans. The CONTRACTOR shall consult the ENGINEER for direction on the type of vegetation to plant in utility easements and under utility lines. Generally, vegetation plantings shall be minimized or eliminated in these areas. When allowed, only low-growing vegetation shall be permitted. D. Labels shall be attached securely to all planting materials (seed, dormant cuttings, fertilizer, etc.). Labels shall be durable, legible, use weather-resistant ink or other resilient lettering, so the OWNER may determine that all materials conform to the specifications (size, species, origin, etc.). E. Seed 1. Seed shall be stored in a cool, shaded, and dry location; in the bag provided by the supplier. 2. Seed tags should remain on bags. F. Containerized/B&B -Trees and Shrubs 1. Tree and shrub delivery should be on the same day as planting. No plants shall be stored at the site without permission of the OWNER for more than two days. Trees and shrubs must never be handled by the tops of the plants. Dropping of material will not be allowed. Handling of trees and shrubs by their trunks will not be allowed. Unless directed otherwise by the ENGINEER, vegetative plantings shall be dormant at the time of acquisition and planting but living based on the presence of young buds and green bark. All plant roots must be kept in a moist condition. 2. Outside storage locations shall be continually shaded and protected from wind. Do not allow plants to dry out. Store plants in a cool wet place with roots under wet mulch, wet straw, or wet soil. Tops should remain dry, however, DO NOT ALLOW WHOLE PLANT TO DRY OUT. All plant roots must be kept in a moist condition. 3. Protect from freezing. Temperature shall be maintained between 34-38 degrees F, relative humidity shall be kept above 85%, and there shall be good air circulation around the plants. The CONTRACTOR will inform the ENGINEER of any plants that have broken dormancy during transit. Plants that have broken dormancy will only be planted at the ENGINEER’S direction. G. Bare Roots/Tubelings 1. Hardwood species planted as bare root/tubeling seedlings must have a minimum of four first-order lateral roots (FOLR) that exceed 1 mm in diameter. Seedlings that do not possess the minimum number of FOLR will be culled from planting. Plantings 32 90 00 - 4 CITY PROJECT NO: 103128 VCWRF BIO SOLIDS FACILITY BANK STABILIZATION February 2023 2. Hardwood bare root/tubeling seedlings that will form the canopy must have a minimum root collar diameter (RCD) of 3/8 inches. Seedlings with lesser RCDs will be culled from planting. For species of bare root/tubeling seedlings that do not typically exhibit RCDs of 3/8 inches, such as bald cypress or river birch, a minimum RCD of ¼ inch may be allowed. 3. Roots shall be dipped in a polymer-based root dip prior to planting to aid in plant survival during dry periods. H. Transplanting 1. Trees and shrubs that have been dug for transplanting should be planted as soon as possible. Cover a root ball with damp material which will retain moisture until planting. When a tree is stored, it should be protected from direct sunlight, winds, and temperature extremes. If any woody plants cannot be planted for more than a week, their roots should be covered with mulch or moist soil (“heeled-in”) and the plants should be placed in a shaded area. 2. Trees and shrubs must be protected when transporting to a planting site. Covered trucks and vans are preferable. If a pickup truck or open trailer is used, a tarp must be in place to protect the plant foliage and roots from drying and damage during transit. Plants must be watered immediately after transporting if moved in an open-air trailer. I. Dormant Woody Cuttings 1. Materials shall be installed the same day as prepared or stored in a refrigerated area and kept moist for no longer than two weeks. Bundles of harvested live material should be kept with cut ends submerged in water to keep cut ends moist at all times. 2. Protect cuttings at all times from sun, drying winds, and frost. Cuttings that cannot be planted immediately on delivery shall be kept well protected from winds and frost. Care shall be taken to keep bundles moist during transportation from the harvest site to the planting site. Live cuttings that appear to be dried out or damaged during transportation will not be accepted. Rejected live cuttings may be marked by the OWNER. 2.06 TIMING A. Plantings shall be installed between November 15 and May 15, unless otherwise directed by the ENGINEER. Since evergreens are especially prone to winter browning if planting is delayed, they should be installed in early fall (late September through October). Fall planting success may be increased by planting hardy plants into sites with good soil moisture and wind protection. B. The CONTRACTOR will install plants when the soil is moist and when the plant is not under moisture stress. Water all woody plants two to three days before installing if the soil is dry. 2.07 SOIL SUITABILITY, TESTING, AND AMENDMENTS A. The CONTRACTOR shall consult with the ENGINEER prior to the application of soil amendments. B. Fertilizer (including root dips) and other soil additives (e.g., topsoil, compost, mycorrhizal, etc.) shall be applied by the CONTRACTOR, as necessary, to ensure the success of the Plantings 32 90 00 - 5 CITY PROJECT NO: 103128 VCWRF BIO SOLIDS FACILITY BANK STABILIZATION February 2023 plantings in certain soil types through the one-year monitoring period. Care shall be taken to minimize nutrient and pollutant loading to aquatic ecosystems through the addition of fertilizer or other additives. 3.00 EXECUTION 3.01 GENERAL A. A tolerance of +/- 0.2 feet (2.4 inches) from the established grades indicated on the grading plan, profile, and typical sections will be permitted for earth surfaces. Field conditions may dictate necessary adjustments to grading operations. In such cases, the ENGINEER shall indicate adjustments to the CONTRACTOR. Adjustments may include, but are not limited to, spot grading in areas where shrub and tree transplants need to be planted and transition areas at the confluence of streams and ditches. Grading in these areas will be on a site- specific basis. Site grading also includes any re-grading of roadside ditches necessary for the installation of drainage pipe for construction entrances. No additional payment shall be made for such adjustments to the site grading. B. Finish grades are to be inspected and approved by the ENGINEER prior to start of permanent seeding and/or planting. The CONTRACTOR shall verify subgrade elevations with the OWNER’s representative prior to placement. C. The CONTRACTOR shall test site soils to evaluate the nutrient status of the soil prior to planting. Soils shall be sampled and tested. The “Soil Test Report” shall be submitted to the OWNER within 10 business days of receipt by the CONTRACTOR. D. If soil amendments are required, the Contactor shall submit a list of proposed soil amendments to the ENGINEER of approval 14 days prior to application. E. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for determining and ensuring proper application of soil amendments. The contractor shall comply with local, state, and federal laws related to the application of any proposed soil amendment(s) adjacent to water bodies. 3.02 NATIVE SEEDING A. Seeding is divided into two categories: temporary and permanent. Temporary mixtures include annual ground covers that grow quickly. Permanent mixtures include native, perennial ground covers that may take significant time to germinate. Both temporary and permanent seeding is to be sown together unless the construction sequence requires a later disturbance of the area that will destroy the permanent ground cover. The temporary seed will sprout quickly and provide a ground cover that stabilizes the soil and minimizes erosion and sedimentation. At the turn of the season, the temporary seed will die off. However, the permanent seed will have had additional time to germinate and grow, becoming a ground cover that can reduce erosion and sedimentation. B. The CONTRACTOR is responsible for establishing and maintaining vegetation on all disturbed areas. Disturbed areas shall be seeded, fertilized, mulched, and tacked within three days of the completion of construction activities in that area. Disturbed areas must be vegetated within timeframes dictated by permit requirements. When the CONTRACTOR fails or neglects to diligently pursue the control of erosion and siltation, the ENGINEER may suspend the CONTRACTOR’s grading operations. If an area is disturbed after initial vegetation establishment or vegetation otherwise fails to become established, the CONTRACTOR is Plantings 32 90 00 - 6 CITY PROJECT NO: 103128 VCWRF BIO SOLIDS FACILITY BANK STABILIZATION February 2023 required to do all work necessary to prepare, reseed, and mulch the area until vegetation is established using a combination of temporary and permanent seed. No additional compensation shall be made for this effort. This may require several supplemental seeding and mulching and/or multiple seeding and mulching applications. In locations where disturbance of the area at a later time is inevitable, but erosion control requirements oblige the CONTRACTOR to establish a vegetative cover, the CONTRACTOR shall use a temporary seed mixture. Once land disturbing activities cease, a temporary/permanent seed mix combination and fertilizer may be applied to the area. Temporary seeding shall be applied in conjunction with permanent seeding whenever viable. Fertilizer is only to be used with the permanent seeding. C. The CONTRACTOR shall prepare the seedbed for the permanent establishment of native seed mix by ripping, tilling, disking, raking or otherwise scarifying the soil surface to a depth appropriate for the type(s) of seed being planted. The CONTRACTOR shall broadcast the specified seed mix in locations specified on the Planting Plan and lightly rake the seed into the top 0.25 inch-0.5 inch of topsoil. D. Seed shall meet the requirements of Item 164 of the Texas Department of Transportation Standard Specifications. Only certified seed shall be allowed unless the ENGINEER specifies otherwise in writing. The Planting Schedule in the Plans gives the particular variety of seed used in the permanent and temporary seed mixtures as well as the planting zones. Seed mixtures shall be a minimum of 75% pure live seed (PLS). The CONTRACTOR shall submit a copy of the seed label to the ENGINEER for approval. The label shall provide detailed information including, but not limited to, germination rates, noxious weed seeds, date and location of harvest. The CONTRACTOR shall not accept seed from a vendor who cannot supply this information about the viability, purity, and provenance of the seed. Wet seed or seed that is moldy or otherwise damaged in transit or storage is not to be used. E. The specified seed mix shall be applied by hand or by using a hand-held broadcast spreader at a rate identified on the plans. Seed shall be applied over two passes in perpendicular directions. F. Following native seed installation, all seeded areas shall be over seeded in a separate application with a cover/nurse crop species and rate identified on the plans. Following seed installation, straw mulch shall be spread over all seeded areas. G. Mulching will be in accordance with Item 164 – Seeding for Erosion Control from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Specifications the most current 2014 Edition and all subsequent revisions and supplements. H. Mulch applied by means of a hydro-seeder shall be a wood/cellulose fiber mixture that contains equal portions of wood fiber material and cellulose fiber material. Wood fiber hydro-seeding mulch shall be made from wood chip particles manufactured particularly for discharging uniformly on the ground surface when dispersed by a hydraulic water sprayer. Cellulose fiber hydro-seeding mulch shall be made from recycled magazine stock products that are shredded into small pieces for discharging uniformly on the ground surface when dispersed by a hydraulic water sprayer. The mixture shall remain in uniform suspension in water under agitation and blended with grass seed and fertilizer to form homogeneous slurry. The fibers shall intertwine physically to form a strong moisture-holding mat on the ground surface and allow rainfall to percolate the underlying soil. The fiber material shall be heat processed and contain no germination or growth–inhibiting factors. It shall be dyed Plantings 32 90 00 - 7 CITY PROJECT NO: 103128 VCWRF BIO SOLIDS FACILITY BANK STABILIZATION February 2023 (non-toxic) an appropriate color (i.e., green) to facilitate the application of material. Suppliers shall be prepared to certify that laboratory and field-testing of their product has been accomplished and that it meets all of the foregoing requirements based upon such testing. 3.03 CONTAINERIZED/BALL & BURLAP TREE AND SHRUB PLANTING A. Dig a hole large enough that any roots can hang downward and not be curled and the top of the plant, including any horizontal growth, is above the ground. Heel in soil at base of plant to ensure root to soil contact. Leave the plant in a vertical position. B. If plants are installed in late fall and winter the plant shall be installed slightly deeper than they were planted at the nursery. C. Installation instructions shall be in accordance with the plans and specifications or as advised by a commercial plant supplier. D. Shrubs and trees should be thoroughly watered immediately after planting. Thereafter, the soil must be regularly monitored to prevent drying out. If rainfall is less than 0.25 inches a week, the soil around the roots should be deeply watered approximately every 10-14 days. 3.04 BARE ROOT/TUBELING PLANTING A. The storage, handling, and planting of bare-root/tubeling seedlings will follow the procedures outlined in the Texas Forestry Technical Note TX-FS-12-4 Seedling Planting Guidelines. Bare roots will be installed in the location and in the configuration presented in the plans. B. All bare root/tubeling seedlings will be planted with a hoe-dad, KBC bar, dibble bar, or OST bar. The ENGINEER may monitor the planting operation to enforce correct planting techniques. Each planted bare root/tubeling seedling must be mulched with two flakes from a bale of straw or other organic material approved by ENGINEER. C. The ENGINEER will conduct inspections of permanent vegetation. Seedlings are to be examined for above-ground and below-ground defects that include, but are not limited to, the following: cull seedlings; planted excessively deep or shallow; more than one tree per planting location; loosely planted seedlings; excessively leaning seedlings; dead or damaged seedlings; cull seedling (RCD/ FOLR); debris in planting hole; ‘J’, ‘U’, or ‘L’ rooted seedlings; and twisted roots. 3.05 DORMANT WOODY CUTTINGS/LIVE STAKES A. Live stakes shall be ½” to 2” in diameter and 2 to 4 feet in length. The ENGINEER may direct alternative size requirements for species that do not perform well at the noted diameters. B. The basal ends of the live stakes shall be cleanly cut at an angle to facilitate easy insertion into the soil and the tops shall be cut square or blunt for tamping. All lateral limbs and shoots shall be removed from the live cutting, avoiding damage to the bark ridge and branch collar. C. Materials shall be installed the same day as prepared or stored in cold, moist conditions (40- 50oF, >50% humidity) for no longer than 2 weeks until use. Cuttings shall remain wet until Plantings 32 90 00 - 8 CITY PROJECT NO: 103128 VCWRF BIO SOLIDS FACILITY BANK STABILIZATION February 2023 they are planted. Outside storage locations shall be continually shaded and protected from wind and direct sunlight. D. All lateral branches shall be carefully removed to avoid damage to the bark ridge and branch collar. All live stakes shall be scarred along the inserted end of the stake to promote root growth. A minimum of two buds shall be above grade. E. Live stakes shall be installed in the location and according to the configuration presented in the plans. Live stakes shall be tamped perpendicularly into the finished bank slope with a dead blow hammer, with buds oriented in an upward direction. Stakes shall be tamped until approximately ¾ of the stake length is within the ground. One to two inches shall be cut cleanly off of the top of each live stake (with loppers) at an angle of approximately 15 degrees following installation. Any stakes that are split or damaged during installation shall be removed and replaced. A minimum of two buds shall be above the planting depth. The area around each live stake shall be compacted by foot after the live stake has been installed. 3.06 MAINTENANCE DURING CONSTRUCTION A. Maintenance shall begin immediately after each vegetation method is completed and continue throughout construction. B. Maintenance consists of spraying for insects and diseases, weeding, watering, and inspecting to see that the vegetation is healthy and performing adequately in protecting the project surfaces. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for any permits related to pesticides. C. Vegetation shall be protected at all times against motor vehicle trespassing and damage of any kind for the duration of construction and until acceptance of the work by the City. D. Any vegetation repairs shall be performed to the same specifications as the original installation. 3.07 WATERING A. If sufficient rain is not received to support survivability, the CONTRACTOR must water all plantings as often as necessary to keep the plants alive. Failure to adequately water the site shall be considered a failure to meet intermediate completion dates and result in liquidated damages at the rate specified in the contract. 3.08 FINAL ACCEPTANCE A. Upon completion of all planting operations, including cleanup, the CONTRACTOR shall notify the City and accompany their representative during inspection of the plantings. Any items found to be unsatisfactory shall be corrected prior to approval for final acceptance and payment. B. The CONTRACTOR shall remove all nametags attached to installed plants after final acceptance. 3.09 MAINTENANCE DURING WARRANTY PERIOD Plantings 32 90 00 - 9 CITY PROJECT NO: 103128 VCWRF BIO SOLIDS FACILITY BANK STABILIZATION February 2023 A.
