M&C Review ..
Most State Revolving Loans are granted for construction contracts only . However with this particular
loan the City of Fort Worth was authorized to pay for both an engineering agreement (design and
survey) and the construction contract. Since no other expenses can be covered by SRF funding ,
additional appropriations of $114 ,245 .00 ($37,000 .00 for construction staking , project management
material testing and inspection and $77 ,245 .00 for project contingencies) are needed from the Sewer
Capital Projects Fund .
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 3.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above
recommendations , and the adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance , funds will be available
in the current capital budgets , as appropriated , of the Sewer Capital Projects Fund and The Clean
Water State Revo1v · g Fund 2007 .

amount of inconvenience to the public. At any time when , in the
judgment of the Engineer, the Contractor has obstructed or

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
completion of the project.
The Engineer 's decision shall be final in response

to such a
Sunday or
C7-7 (3)
-
Legal Holiday, and no extra compensation shall be allowed to the
Contractor for any work performed on such a specific Saturday,
Sunday or Legal Holiday.
Calendar Days shall be defined in Cl-1.24 and the Contractor may
work as he so desires.
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
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· d ·ocuments 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. ·
In adjusting the contract time for completion of work,
consideration will be given to unforeseeable causes beyond the
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
r~quest 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
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.
C7-7 (4)
If satisfactory execution and completion of the contract should
require work and materials in greater amounts or quantities than
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
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 sha l l 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.
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 comp l etion
specified in the Contract Documents.

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

the Contractor shall, within seven days , notify the City in
writing giving a detai l ed statement of the efforts which have
been made and listing all necessary i terns 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

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 .
C. 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.

PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS
D-72 AIR POLLUTION WATCH DAYS
The Contractor shall be required to observe the following guidelines relating to working on City
construction sites on days designated as "AIR POLLUTION WATCH DAYS". Typically, the
OZONE SEASON, within the Metroplex area, runs from May 1, through OCTOBER 31, with 6:00
a.m. -10:00 a.m. being critical BECAUSE EMISSIONS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD HAVE
ENOUGH TIME TO BAKE IN THE HOT ATMOSPHERE THAT LEADS TO EARLY AFTERNOON
OZONE FORMATION ..
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), in coordination with the National
Weather Service, will issue the Air Pollution Watch by 3:00 p.m . on the afternoon prior to the
WATCH day. On designated Air Pollution Watch Days, the Contractor shall bear the responsibility
of being aware that such days have been designated Air Pollution Watch Days and as such shall
not begin work until 10:00 a .m. whenever construction phasing requires the use of motorized
equipment for periods in excess of 1 hour. However, the Contractor may begin work prior to 10:00
a.m. if use of motorized equipment is less than 1 hour, or if equipment is new and certified by EPA
as_ "Low Emitting", or equipment burns Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), diesel emulsions, or
alternative fuels such as CNG .
If the Contractor is unable to perform continuous work for a period of at least seven hours between
the hours of 7:00 a.m. -6:00 p.m., on a designated Air Pollution Watch Day, that day will be
considered as a weather day and added onto the allowable weather days of a given month.
D-73 FEE FOR STREET USE PERMITS AND RE-INSPECTIONS
A fee for street use permits is in effect. In addition, a separate fee for re-inspections for parkway
construction, such as driveways, sidewalks, etc., will be required. The fees are as follows:
1. The street permit fee is $50 .00 per permit with payment due at the time of permit
application. ·
2. A re-inspection fee of $25.00 will be assess~d when work for which an inspection
called for is incomplete. Payment is due prior to the City performing re-inspection.
Payment by the contractor for all street use permits and re-inspections shall be considered
subsidiary to the contract cost and no additional compensation shall be made.

Description: This specification includes requirements to rehabilitate existing
sanitary sewers by the pipe enlargement system, herein called Pipe Bursting or
Pipe Crushing (Pipe Bursting/Crushing). This system includes splitting or bursting
the existing pipe to install a new polyethylene pipe and reconnect existing sewer
service connections.
Methods: This section specifies the approved system method or process to
include all labor, materials, tools, equipment and incidentals necessary to provide
for the complete rehabilitation of deteriorated gravity sewer lines by the Pipe
Bursting/Crushing systems. Approved methods include: the PIM Corporation
(PIM System), Piscata Way, New Jersey; McLat Construction (McConnell System
for Pipe Crushing), Houston, Texas; and Trenchless Replacement Systems , (TRS
System), Calgary, Canada. Refer to Part D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS 0-34
SIBSTITUTIONS for information regarding pre-approval procedures for alternative
processes.
3. Definition: The Pipe Bursting/Crushing system is defined as the reconstruction of
gravity sewer pipe by installing an approved pipe material, by means of one of the
pre-approved methods set forth in Section A.2 of this specification. The process
involves the use of a static, hydraulic or pneumatic hammer "moling" device,
suitably sized to break out the old pipe or using modified boring "knife" with a
flared plug that implodes and crushes the existing sewer pipe. Forward progress
of the "mole" or the "knife" may be aided by the use of hydraulic equipment or
other apparatus, as specified in the approved methods. The replacement pipe is
either pulled or pushed into the bore. The method allows for replacement of pipe
sizes from 8" through 21" and/or upsizing in varying increments up to 21". This
specification is based on the precedent that the Pipe Bursting/Crushing system
used has been pre-approved by the Fort Worth Water Department.
4. Quality Assurance:
The Contractor shall be certified by the particular Pipe Bursting/Crushing system
manufacturer that such firm is a licensed installer of their system . No other Pipe
Bursting/Crushing system other than those listed in Section A.2. of these
specifications is acceptable.
a. Personnel directly involved with installing the new pipe shall receive training
in the proper methods for joint fusing , handling, and installing the
polyethylene pipe. Training shall be performed by a qualified
representative as determined by the pipe manufacturer.

Plan and Drawings to the City:
a. Shop drawings, catalog data, and manufacturer's technical data -showing
complete information on material composition, physical properties, and
dimensions of new pipe and fittings. Include manufacturer's
recommendation for handling, storage, and repair of pipe and fittings if
damaged.
b. Location and number of insertion or access pits shall be planned by
Contractor and submitted in writing prior to excavation for approval by the
City.
c. Method of constl\lctio.ri and restoration of existing sewer service
connections. This shall include:
1) Detail drawings and written description of the entire construction
procedure to install pipe, bypass sewage flow and reconnection of

VENDOR COMPLIANCE WITH RECIPROCITY ON NON-RESIDENT
BIDDERS
Government Code 2252.002 prov ides 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 r esident bidder would be required to
underbid a non-resident bidder in order to 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 of the state of Texas. This requirement does 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-
resident 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.

Texas Water Development Board SMWBE Guidance Document (SRF-052v.5)
rev. 07/21/06
I I..: GENERAL lNFORMATION
A. Background -The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) receives grants from 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
opportunity to participate in the procurement 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 ;:md)Vomen-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.
I
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 Ill 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 SMWBE's. It is based , in
part, on publications, training manuals 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 benefit both
recipients of EPA funds and the business community. Applicants can receive lower
interest rates on loans in comparison 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 prime 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.

Texas Water Development Board SMWBE Guidance Document (SRF-052v.5)
rev . 07/21/06
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 TWOS 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 MBE's and WBE's in each of the applicable
procurement categories. It is important to note that tlie goals are not achievement standards
or quotas, nor is achieving the goals mandatory. However, applicants and prime contractors
(including 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 ind ividual states, and are then presented to EPA for
approval.
The current EPA-approved fair share goals for the State of Texas are as follows:

IV. GOOD FAITH EFFORT I
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 pol icies 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 po i nt 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 feas ible , 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 aspect 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 proposal/bid 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 with EPA's good faith effort policy to be
funded with federal loan proceeds.
+ Subsequent Project 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 awa rd, 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.

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
current fair share goals for the State of Texas are as follows:
CATEGORY MBE WBE
CONSTRUCTION 34.0% 8.0%
SUPPLIES 18.0% 29.0%
EQUIPMENT 13.0% 13.0%
SERVICES 22.0% 26.0%

V. AFFIRMATIVE STEPS OUTREAC~ PROGRAM
Affirmative Step One: Include qualified SMWBE's on solicitation lists
See "Tips for Achieving a Good Faith Effort in Procurement" on previous page.
I
B. Affirmative Step Two: Solicit potential SMWBE's , whenever they are potential sources
C .
D.
• 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, minority 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 submitti ng an RFQ and/or bid .
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 ti me 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.
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
F.
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.
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 sol iciting 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 fo r loan funding by the TWDB .

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
SANITARY SEWER REHABILITATION
CONTRACT 58 -PART ii -PHASE 2
FORT WORTH, TEXAS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project consists of a new 18 inch sanitary sewer line within a residential area located
near the NE corner of 1-20 I Loop 820 and Hulen Street in Fort Worth, Texas . See Figure 1
for alignment. Microtunnelling is proposed along most of this alignment due to the existing
pavements and the invert depth of the proposed sanitary sewer line.
1.2 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purposes of this geotechnical investigation were to: 1) explore the subsurface
conditions at the site; 2) evaluate the pertinent engineering properties of the subsurface
materials; 3) provide recommendations for open cut construction and trench shoring and; 4)
provide considerations for proposed microtunneling . This report was prepared in general
accordance with our subconsultant agreement dated July 23, 2008.
2.0 FIELD INVESTIGATION
The field investigation consisted of drilling seven (7) deep core borings along the proposed
alignment. The borings were drilled to depths of 20 to 45 feet below the existing ground
surface . The boring locations were located at the approximate locations shown on the Plan of
Borings (Figure 1 ).
A truck mounted auger drill rig was used to advance these borings and to obtain samples for
laboratory evaluation . Undisturbed samples of cohesive soils were obtained at intermittent
intervals with standard , thin-walled, seamless tube samplers. These samples were extruded
in the field, logged, sealed, and packaged to protect them from disturbance and maintain
their in-situ moisture content during transportation to our laboratory.
MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES, INC. E09-0207
Page 1
The limestone was continuously cored to allow evaluation of rock hardness and
compressive strength. Rock hardness was also evaluated by cone penetration tests.
Upon completion of the test borings, the boreholes were backfilled and plugged with
concrete after obtaining groundwater measurements . The results of the boring program are
presented on the Logs of Borings, Figures 2 through 10. A key to the descriptive terms and
symbols used on the logs is presented on Figure 11.
3.0 LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory tests were performed on representative samples of the soil to aid in classification
of the soil materials . These tests included Atterberg Limits tests, moisture content tests, and
dry unit weight determinations. Hand penetrometer tests were performed on the soil
samples to provide indications of the swell potential and the foundation bearing properties of
the subsurface strata. Unconfined compressive strength tests and unit weight
determinations were performed on rock core samples to provide indications of the rock
hardness. The results of our testing program are presented on the Log of Borings (Figures 2
through 10).
4.0 SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.1 GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS
This project consists of a new 18 inch sanitary sewer line within a residential area located
near the NE corner of 1-20 I Loop 820 and Hulen Street in Fort Worth, Texas . See Figure 1
for alignment. Microtunnelling is proposed along most of this alignment due to the existing
pavements and the invert depth of the proposed sanitary sewer line.
4.2 SITE GEOLOGY
As shown on the Dallas sheet of the Geologic Atlas of Texas, the project site is located in an
area underlain by the undivided Fort Worth Limestone and Duck Creek Formation. This
Formation typically consists of hard limestone strata interbedded with shale and clay seams .
Soils derived from the formation are typically moderately to highly active clays exhibiting
moderate to high shrink/swell potential with variations in moisture content.
MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES, INC. E09-0207
Page2
4.3 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface cond itions encountered in the borings , includ ing descriptions of the various strata
and their depths and thicknesses , are presented on the Logs of Boring . Note that depth on all
borings refe rs to the depth from the existing grade or ground surface present at the time of the
investigation . Boundaries between the various soil types are approximate .
4.4 GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS
~l-?>.r
The borings were advanced using auger-drilling methods . Advancement of the borings using
auger-drilling methods allows observation of the initial zones of seepage . Water was
encountered in most of the test borings. Water level measurements indicate groundwater
levels in most areas at depths ranging from 8 to 18 feet below the existing ground surface at
the time of this investiga tion (March 2009). Shallower groundwater levels should be
anticipated after periods of rainfall. Results of the water level measurements are shown on the
Logs of Borings (Figure 2 th ru 10).
It is not possible to accurately predict the magnitude of subsurface water fluctuations that
might occur based upon short-term observations. The subsurface water conditions are
subject to change with variations in cl imatic conditions and are functions of subsurface soil
conditions, rainfall , and water levels within nearby creeks .
5.0 TRENCH EXCAVATIONS
It is understood that microtunnelling will be performed along most of the alignment and that
open cut construction will be performed in some areas ..
As indicated on the boring logs , soil conditions will vary significantly. The conditions will vary
from jointed clay and calcareous clay to severely fractured weathered limestone to very hard
unweathered limestone.
Short term groundwater was present in the borings at depths ranging from 8 to 18 feet in
some areas at the time of this investigation (March 2009). Shallower groundwater levels
. would be anticipated during or after periods of rainfall.
MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES, INC. E09-0207
Page 3
For trench excavations less than five feet in depth, and in stable clay soils, trench
excavation may be cut near vertical in accordance with OSHA regulations, For excavations
to any depth in sand, gravel, soft clay, non-compact fill, submerged soil, or unstable rock
(fractured weathered limestone), or where seepage, or sloughing is observed, it will be
necessary to employ either sloped excavations or temporary bracing regardless of trench
depth.
For excavation to depths in excess of five feet, it will be necessary to employ either sloped
excavations or temporary bracing , regardless of the soil conditions encountered. General
guidelines for the design of these two alternatives are discussed in the following sections . = ·
5.1 OPEN CUTS
Recommended slope ratios for the respective soil conditions are presented graphically on
Figure 12. Trench excavation to any depth in unstable soil or in weathered or fractured rock
conditions should be cut back in a similar manner as described above. It should be recognized
that free standing slopes will be less stable when influenced by groundwater or saturated by
rain . Surcharge loads, such as those resulting from excavation spoil, or equipment, should be
placed no closer than two feet from the crest of the slope, or in accordance with OSHA
regulations. Vehicle traffic should be maintained at least five feet from the edge of the crest.
Excavation may encounter non-compact fill soils placed during previous construction of
underground utilities . If encountered , these fill soils should be sheeted, shored, and braced, or
laid back on slopes no steeper than 1.5 (H): 1 (V).
5.2 TRENCH BRACING/BORE PIT SHORING
Where site limitat ions require excavations to have vertical side walls, an internal bracing
system will be necessary. Bracing may consist of timber or steel shoring or manufactured
steel trench braces. The lateral pressure distribution to be used in the design of trench bracing
may be determined as presented on Figure 13. It should be recognized that pressures are not
included from hydrostatic pressures, surcharge loads, or traffic live loads at trench side walls,
dynamic loads, and vibration, which if present, must be included in bracing design . In lieu of a
shoring system, a trench shield consisting of a prefabricated rigid steel unit adequate to
withstand anticipated lateral pressures may be used.
MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES, INC. E09-0207
Page4
5.3 DEWATERING
It should be anticipated that groundwater will be encountered in the excavations. Groundwater
levels may be encountered at relatively shallow depths in some areas, particularly after
periods of heavy rain (See Sections 4.4 and 5.0). In areas where groundwater is
encountered, a system of ditches, sumps and pumping will be required to provide
groundwater control. The design of the actual dewatering system required is the contractor's
responsibility. This includes the control of tail-water flow through previous backfilled sections.
5.4 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
The following guidelines are presented to aid in the development of the excavation plans :
Surface areas behind the crest of the excavations should be graded so that surface water
does not pond within 15 feet of the crest, nor drain into the excavation.
Heavy material stockpiles should not be placed near the crest of slopes per OSHA
requirements. Similarly, heavy construction equipment should not pass over or be parked
within 5 feet of the crest.
The crest of slopes should be continually monitored for evidence of movement or potential
problems. Freestanding slopes will become less stable when influenced by groundwater or
saturation by rain.
5.5 MICROTUNNELLING
It is understood that microtunnelling will be performed along most of the alignment and that
invert depths will be within 2' to 5' of the geotechnical boring depths. See Boring Logs. Based
on the borings, microtunnelling will generally be performed within very hard gray limestone
containing occasional fractures, shale seams and gray calcareous shale layers . In some
areas, the crown of the tunnel will be overlain by fractured water-bearing weathered limestone,
water bearing calcareous clay and highly expansive jointed shaley clay. See boring logs for
specific conditions at each boring location.
MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES, INC. E09-0207
Page 5
6.0 EARTHWORK GUIDELINES
6.1 TRENCH BACKFILL
The excavated soils can be used for trench backfill. Use of rock fragments greater than six (6)
inches in any dimension should be prohibited, since attaining uniform moisture and density
without voids would be difficult. The backfill should be placed in thin compacted lifts as
specified below. The fill materials should be free of surficial vegetation or debris .
Clay and calcareous clay fill soils having a Pl over 25 should be placed in 8 inch horizontal ~*:.'.-
loose lifts and compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by
ASTM 0-698 test method. The clay and calcareous clay should be compacted at optimum to
+4 above the optimum moisture content.
Sand or sandy clay fill soils having a Pl of less than 25 should be placed in 8 inch horizontal
loose lifts and compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by
ASTM 0-698 test method . These lower Pl soils should be compacted at -2 to +2 of optimum
moisture .
Broken limestone should be place in loose lifts of 8 inches and should be adequately crushed
to where individual rock fragments have a diameter of less than 6 inches . The crushed
limestone should be compacted at optimum to +4 percentage points above optimum moisture
to a minimum of 95% Standard Proctor density (ASTM 0-698). The limestone materials
should be crushed and compacted using a compactor of sufficient size and weight to crush
the rock.
For fill depths below 15 feet and 25 feet depths respectively, the compaction level should be
increased to 98% and 100% ASTM 0698, respectively, where it is desired to reduce post-
construction settlements .
7.0 CONSTRUCTION TESTING
Field density and moisture content determinations should be made on each lift of fill with a
minimum of 1 test per lift per 100 linear feet for roadways and a minimum of 1 test per lift per
150 linear feet of ut ility trench backfill. Supervision by the field technician and the project
MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES, INC. E09-0207
Page 6
engineer is required. Some adjustments in the test frequencies may be required based upon
the general fill types and soil conditions at the time of fill placement.
Many problems can be avoided or solved in the field if proper inspection and testing
services are provided . It is recommended that site preparation, concrete placement, and fill
compaction be monitored by a qualified engineering technician. Density tests should be
performed to verify compaction and moisture content of any earthwork . Inspection should be
performed prior to and during concrete placement operations. Mas-T ek Engineering &
Associates, Inc. employs a group of experienced, well-trained technicians for inspection and
construction materials testing who would be pleased to assist you on this project.
8.0 LIMITATIONS
The professional services which have been performed, the findings obtained, and the
recommendations prepared were accomplished in accordance with currently accepted
geotechnical engineering principles and practices. The possibility always exists that the
subsurface conditions at the site may vary somewhat from those encountered in the
boreholes. The number and spacing of test borings were chosen in such a manner as to
decrease the possibility of undiscovered abnormalities, while considering the nature of
loading, size, type and cost of the project. If there are any unusual conditions differing
significantly from those described herein, Mas-Tek Engineering & Associates should be
notified to review the effects on the proposed construction.
The recommendations given in this report were prepared exclusively for the use of the Client
and their consultants and clients. The information supplied herein is applicable only for the
design of the previously described development to be constructed at locations indicated at this
site and should not be used for any other structures, locations, or for any other purpose.
We will retain the samples acquired for this project for a period of 30 days after the submittal
date printed on the report. After this period, the samples will be discarded unless otherwise
notified by the owner in writing.

1 . All channelizing devices shall be i~Ga~~:r::~:~:~~~ current edition of the Texas Manua-1 -. -1<
on Uniform Traffic Control Devices .
2. All Traffic Control Devices shall have working visible warning lights as required in
accordance with the current edition of TMUTCD .
3. For Temporary Situations, when it is not feasible to remove and restore pavement
markings, channelization must be made dominant by using a very close device spacing.
This is especially important in locations of conflicting information, such as where traffic is
directed over a double yellow centerline . In such locations, channelizing device spacing of
1 O feet is required. ·
4. For Long Term Stationary work, all conflicting pavement markings must be removed and
centerline striping provided where two way traffic is in adjacent lanes .
5. Contractor shall provide sidewalk closure, crosswalk closure and/or walkway bypass
wherever pedestrian movements are affected by construction activities. All sidewalks and
crosswalks shall be accessible when contractor is not working unless otherwise approved by
the City Traffic Engineer.
6 . The use of tra iler mounted ARROW DISPLAYS may be required on all lane closures . The
contractor shall provide one (1) stand-by unit in good work ing condition at the job site, ready
for use, if his operation requires 24-hour a day closure set-ups and if required .
7. City Traffic Engineer and/or Inspectors may require additional traffic control devices.
