VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to the award of contracts to nonresident b idders. This law provides that , in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, nonresident bidders (out-of-State contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of business are outside of the State of Texas) bid projects for construction , improvements , supplies or services in Texas at an amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas resident bidder would be required to underbid a nonresident bidder in order to obtain a comparable contract in the State in which the nonresident's principal place of business is located . The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all out-of-State or nonresident bidders in order for your bid to meet specifications. The failure of out -of-State or nonresident contractors to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in Section B. A. Nonresident 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 . Nonresident vendors in (give State), our principal place of business , are not required to underbid resident bidders. @ our principal place of business or corporate offices are in the State of Texas . w' BIDDER: t-~4-\\-~ B'2AOk"f ~ to~)k ?D. ~>C 123 €,oO kWow-Tt City St~te ±(al Zd -3 BdC> Zip By (Ca~~c~c.~7 Signature ~ Title: __ \? __ %~-+-Io~~---~'------ (Please pri nt) THIS FORM MUST BE RETURNED WITH YOUR QUOTATION 6 - 1 SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR STREET AND STORM DRAIN IMPROVEMENTS Table of Contents 1.

Provide the Engineer the opportunity to witness all tests. The Engineer may require a retest if not given the opportunity to witness. Furnish a copy of all test results to the Engineer daily. Check the first few concrete loads for slump, air, and temperature on start-up production days to check for concrete conformance and consistency. Sample and prepare strength test specimens (2 specimens per test) on the first day of production and for each 3,000 sq. yd. or fraction thereof of concrete pavement thereafter. Prepare at least I set of strength-test specimens for each production day . Perform slump, air , and temperature tests each time strength specimens are made. Monitor concrete temperature to ensure that concrete is consistently within the temperature requirements. The Engineer will direct random job- control sampling and testing. Immediately investigate and take corrective action as approved if any Contractor test result, including tests performed for verification purposes, does not meet specification requirements. When job-control testing by the Contractor is waived by the plans, the Engineer will perform the testing; however, this does not waive the Contractor's responsibility for providing materials and work in accordance with this Item. 1. Job-Control Strength. Unless otherwise shown on the plans or permitted by the Engineer, use 7-day job-control concrete strength testing in accordance with Tex-448-A or Tex-418-A. For 7-day job-control by flexural strength, use a flexural strength of 520 psi or a lower job-control strength value proven to meet a 28-day flexural strength of 680 psi as correlated in accordance with Tex-427-A. For 7-day job-control by compressive strength, use a compressive strength of 3,200 psi or a lower job-control strength value proven to meet a 28-day compressive strength of 4,400 psi as correlated in accordance with Tex-427-A. Job control of concrete strength may be correlated to an age other than 7 days in accordance with Tex-427-A when approved. Job-control strength of Class HES concrete is based on the required strength and time. When a job-control concrete strength test value is more than l 0% below the required job-control strength or when 3 consecutive job-control strength values fall below the required job-control strength, investigate the strength test procedures, the quality of materials, the concrete production operations, and other possible problem areas to determine the cause. Take necessary action to correct the problem, including redesign of the concrete mix if needed . The Engineer may suspend concrete paving if the Contractor is unable to identify, document, and correct the cause of low strength test values in a timely manner. If any job-control strength is more than l 5% below the required job-control strength, the Engineer will evaluate the structural adequacy of the pavements. When directed , remove and replace pavements found to be structurally inadequate at no additional cost. 2. Split-Sample Verification Testing. Perform split-sample verification testing with the Engineer on random samples taken and split by the Engineer at a rate of at least l for every l O job-control samples.

Accurately place and secure in position all reinforcing steel as shown on the plans . Place dowels at mid-depth of the pavement slab, parallel to the surface. Place dowels for transverse contraction joints parallel to the pavement edge. Tolerances for location and alignment of dowels will be shown on the plans. Stagger the longitudinal reinforcement splices to avoid having more than 1/3 of the splices within a 2-ft. longitudinal length of each lane of the pavement. Use multiple-piece tie bars or drill and epoxy grout tie bars at longitudinal construction joints. Verify that tie bars that are drilled and epoxied into concrete at longitudinal construction joints develop a pullout resistance equal to a minimum of 3/4 of the yield strength of the steel after 7 days. Test 1 S bars using ASTM E 488, except that alternate approved equipment may be used. All l S tested bars must meet the required pullout strength. If any of the test results do not meet the required minimum pullout strength, perform corrective measures to provide equivalent pullout resistance . Repair damage from testing. Acceptable corrective measures include but are not limited to installation of additional or longer tie bars. 1. Manual Placement. Secure reinforcing bars at alternate intersections with wire ties or locking support chairs. Tie all splices with wire. 2. Mechanical Placement. If mechanical placement of reinforcement results in steel misalignment or improper location, poor concrete consolidation, or other inadequacies, complete the work using manual methods. D. Joints. Install joints as shown on the plans. Joint sealants are not required on concrete pavement that is to be overlaid with asphaltic materials. Clean and seal joints in accordance with Item 438, "Cleaning and Sealing Joints and Cracks (Rigid Pavement and Bridge Decks)."

When the placing of concrete is unintentionally stopped , install a transverse construction joint either at a pl ann ed transverse contraction joint location or mid-slab between planned transverse contraction joints . For mid-slab construction joints, install tie bars of the size and spacing used in the longitudinal joints. c. Curb Joints. Provide joints in the curb of the same type and location as the adjacent pavement. Use expansion joint material of the same thickness, type , and quality required for the pavement and of the section shown for the curb. E xtend expansion joints throu gh the curb . Construct curb joints at all transverse pavement joints. For non-monolithic curbs, pl ace reinforcing steel into the plastic concrete pavement as shown on the plans unless otherwise approved . Form or saw the weakened plane joint across the full width of concrete pavement and through the monolithic curbs. Construct curb joints in accordance with Item 529, "Concrete Curb, Gutter, and Combined Curb and Gutter." E. Placing and Removing Forms. Use clean and oiled forms. Secure forms on a base or firm subgrade that is accurately graded and that provides stable support without deflection and movement by form riding equipment. Pin every form at least at the middle and near each end . Tightly join and key form sections together to prevent relative displacement. Set side forms far enough in advance of concrete placement to permit inspection. Check conformity of the grade , alignment, and stability of forms immediately before placing concrete, and make all necessary corrections. Use a straightedge or other approved method to test the top of forms to ensure that the ride quality requirements for the completed pavement will be met. Stop paving operations if forms settle or deflect more than 1/8 in. under finishing operations. Reset forms to line and grade , and refinish the concrete surface to correct grade. Avoid damage to the edge of the pavement when removing forms . Repair damage resulting from form removal and honeycombed areas with a mortar mix within 24 hr. after form removal unless otherwise approved. Clean joint face and repair honeycombed or damaged areas within 24 hr. after a bulkhead for a transverse construction joint has been removed unless otherwise approved . When forms are removed before 72 hr. after concrete placement, promptly apply membrane curing compound to the edge of the concrete pavement. Forms that are not the same depth as the pavement but are within 2 in . of that depth are permitted if the subbase is trenched or the full width and length of the form base is supported with a firm material to produce the required pavement thickness . Promptly repair the form trench after use . Use flexible or curved wood or metal forms for curves of 100-ft. radius or less. F. Concrete Delivery. Clean delivery equipment as necessary to prevent accumulation of old concrete before loading fresh concrete. Use agitated delivery equipment for concrete designed to have a slump of more than 5 in. Segregated concrete is subject to rejection . Place agitated concrete within 60 min. after batching . Place non-agitated concrete within 45 min. after batching . In hot weather or under conditions causing quick setting of the concrete, times may be reduced by the Engineer . Time limitations may be extended if the Contractor can demonstrate that the concrete can be properly placed, consolidated, and finished without the use of additional water . G. Concrete Placement. Do not allow the pavement edge to deviate from the established paving line by more than 1/2 in. at any point. Place the concrete as near as possible to its final location, and minimize segregation and rehandling . Where hand spreading is necessary , distribute concrete using shovels . Do not use rakes or vibrators to distribute con crete. 1. Pavement. Consolidate all concrete by approved mechanical vibrators operated on the front of the paving equipment. Use immersion-type vibrators that simultaneously con solidate the full width of the placement wh en machine finishing. Keep vibrators from dislodging reinforcement. Use hand- operated vibrators to consolid ate concrete in areas not accessible to the machine-mounted vibrators. Do not operate machine-mounted vibrators while the paving equipm ent is stationary . Vibrator operations are subject to review . 2. Date Imprinting. Imprint dates in the fresh concrete indicating the date of the concrete placement. Make impressions approx imately 1 ft . from the outside longitudinal construction joint or edge of pavement and approxim ately I ft. from the transverse construction joint at the beginning of the placement day . Orient the impressions to be read from the outside should er in the direction of fin al traffic. Impress date in DD-MM-YY format. Imprinting of the Contractor name or logo in similar size characters to the date is allowed . 3. Curbs.

Place concrete that is between 40 °F and 95 °F when measured in accordance with Tex-422-A at the time of discharge, except that concrete may be used if it was already in transit when the temperature was found to exceed the allowable maximum. Take immediate corrective action or cease concrete production when the concrete temperature exceeds 95 °F. Do not place concrete when the ambient temperature in the shade is below 40 °F and falling unless approved . Concrete may be placed when the ambient temperature in the shade is above 35 °F and rising or above 40 °F. When temperatures warrant protection against freezing, protect the pavement with an approved insulating material capable of protecting the concrete for the specified curing period . Submit for approval proposed measures to protect the concrete from anticipated freezing weather for the first 72 hr . after placement. Repair or replace all concrete damaged by freezing . H. Spreading and Finishing. Finish all concrete pavement with approved self-propelled equipment. Use power-driven spreaders, power-driven vibrators, power-driven strike-off, and screed, or approved alternate equipment. Use the transverse finishing equipment to compact and strike off the concrete to the required section and grade without surface voids. Use float equipment for final finishing. Use concrete with a consistency that allows completion of all finishing operations without addition of water to the surface. Use the minimal amount of water fog mist necessary to maintain a moist surface. Reduce fogging if float or straightedge operations result in excess slurry . 1. Finished Surface. Perform sufficient checks with long-handled 10-ft. and 15-ft. straightedges on the plastic concrete to ensure that the final surface is within the tolerances specified in Surface Test A in Item 585, "Ride Quality for Pavement Surfaces." Check with the straightedge parallel to the centerline . 2. Maintenance of Surface Moisture. Prevent surface drying of the pavement before application of the curing system. Accomplish this by fog applications of evaporation retardant on the pavement surface . Apply evaporation retardant at the rate recommended by the manufacturer. Reapply the evaporation retardant as needed to maintain the concrete surface in a moist condition until curing system is applied . Do not use evaporation retardant as a finishing aid . Failure to take acceptable precautions to prevent surface drying of the pavement will be cause for shut down of pavement operations. 3. Surface Texturing. Perform surface texturing using a combination of a carpet drag and metal tining. Complete final texturing before the concrete has attained its initial set. Draw the carpet drag longitudinally along the pavement surface with the carpet contact surface area adjusted to provide a satisfactory coarsely textured surface. A metal-tine texture finish is required unless otherwise shown on the plans . Provide the metal-tine finish immediately after the concrete surface has set enough for consistent tining . Operate the metal-tine device to obtain grooves spaced at 1 in ., approximately 3/16 in . deep, with a minimum depth of 1/8 in ., and approximately 1/12 in . wide . Do not overlap a previously tined area . Use manual methods for achieving similar results on ramps and other irregular sections of pavements . Repair damage to the ed ge of the slab and joints immediately after texturing . Do not tine pavement that will be overlaid. 4. Small or Irregular Placements. Where machine placements and finishing of concrete pavement are not practical , use hand equipment and procedures that produce a consolidated and finished pavement section to the line and grade. 5. Emergency Procedures. Use hand-operated equipment for applying texture, evaporation retardant, and cure in the event of equipment breakdown. I. Curing. Keep the concrete pavement surface from drying by water fogging until the curing material has been applied . Maintain and promptly repair damage to curing materials on exposed surfaces of concrete pavement continuously for at least 3 curing days. A curing day is defined as a 24-hr. period when either the temperature taken in the shade away from artificial heat is above 50 °F for at least 19 hr . or when the surface temperature of the concrete is maintained above 40°F for 24 hr. Curing begins when the concrete curing system has been applied . Stop concrete paving if curing compound is not being applied promptly and maintained adequately. Other methods of curing in accordance with Item 420, "Concrete Structures," may be used when specified or approved . 1. Membrane Curing. After texturing and immediately after the free surface moisture has disappeared , spray the concrete surface uniformly with 2 coats of membrane curing compound at an individual application rate of not more than 180 sq. ft . per gallon . Apply the first coat within IO min. after completing texturing operations. Apply the second coat within 30 min . after completing texturing operations. Before and during application, maintain curing compounds in a uniformly agitated condition, free of settlement. Do not thin or dilute the curing compound . Where the coating shows discontinuities or other defects or if rain falls on the newly coated surface before the film has dried enough to resist damage, apply additional compound at the same rate of coverage to correct the damage. Ensure that the curing compound coats the sides of the tining grooves . 2. Asphalt Curing. When an asphaltic concrete overlay is required, apply a uniform coating of asphalt curing at a rate of 90 to 180 sq. ft . per gallon as required. Apply curing immediately after texturing and just after the free moisture (sheen) has disappeared. Obtain approval to add water to the emulsion to improve spray distribution. Maintain the asphalt application rate when using diluted emulsions . Maintain the emulsion in a mixed condition during application . 3. Curing Class HES Concrete. For all Class HES concrete pavement, provide membrane curing in accordance with Section 360.4.1.1, "Membrane Curing," followed promptly by water curing until opening strength is achieved but not less than 24 hr. J. Sawing Joints. Saw joints to the depth shown on the plans as soon as sawing can be accomplished without damage to the pavement regardless of time of day or weather conditions . Some minor raveling of the saw cut is acceptable. Use a chalk line , string line, sawing template, or other approved method to provide a true joint alignment. Provide enough saws to match the paving production rate to ensure sawing completion at the earliest possible time to avoid uncontrolled cracking . Reduce paving production if necessary to ensure timely sawing of joints. Promptly restore membrane cure damaged within the first 72 hr. of curing . K. Protection of Pavement and Opening to Traffic. Testing for early opening is the responsibility of the Contractor regardless of job-control testing responsibilities unless otherwise shown in the plans or directed. Testing result interpretation for opening to traffic is subject to the approval of the Engineer. 1. Protection of Pavement. Erect and maintain barricades and other standard and approved devices that will exclude all vehicles and equipment from the newly placed pavement for the periods specified . Before opening to traffic, protect the pavement from damage due to crossings using approved methods. Where a detour is not readily available or economically feasible, an occasional crossing of the roadway with overweight equipment may be permitted for relocating equipment only but not for hauling material. When an occasional crossing of overweight equipment is permitted, temporary matting or other approved methods may be required. Maintain an adequate supply of sheeting or other material to cover and protect fresh concrete surface from weather damage . Apply as needed to protect the pavement surface from weather. 2. Opening Pavement to All Traffic. Pavement that is 7 days old may be opened to all traffic. Before opening to traffic, clean pavement, place stable material against the pavement edges, seal joints, and perform all other traffic safety related work. 3. Opening Pavement to Construction Equipment. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, concrete pavement may be opened early to concrete paving equipment and related delivery equipment after the concrete is at least 48 hr . old and opening strength has been demonstrated in accordance with Section 360.4.K.4, "Early Opening to All Traffic," before curing is complete.

Strength Testing. Test concrete specimens cured under the same conditions as the portion of the pavement involved . b. Maturity Method. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, the maturity method , Tex-426-A, may be used to estimate concrete strength for early opening pavement to traffic . Install at least 2 maturity thermocouples for each day's placement in areas where the maturity method will be used for early opening . Thermocouples, when used, will be installed near the days final placement for areas being evaluated for early opening . Use test specimens to verify the strength-maturity relationship in accordance with Tex-426-A, starting with the first day's placement corresponding to the early opening pavement section . After the first day, verify the strength-maturity relationship at least every 10 days of production . Establish a new strength-maturity relationship when the strength specimens deviate more than 10% from the maturity-estimated strengths. Suspend use of the maturity method for opening pavements to traffic when the strength-maturity relationship deviates by more than 10% until a new strength-maturity relationship is established . When the maturity method is used intermittently or for only specific areas, the frequency of verification will be as determined by the Engineer. S. Emergency Opening to Traffic. Under emergency conditions, when the pavement is at least 72 hr. old , open the pavement to traffic when directed in writing. Remove all obstructing materials, place stable material against the pavement edges, and perform other work involved in providing for the safety of traffic as required for emergency opening. L. Pavement Thickness. The Engineer will check the thickness in accordance with Tex-423-A unless other methods are shown on the plans . The Engineer will perform 1 thickness test consisting of 1 reading at approximately the center of each lane every 500 ft. or fraction thereof.

Fill core holes using a concrete mixture and method approved by the Engineer. 1. Thickness Deficiencies Greater than 0.2 in. When any depth test measured in accordance with Tex-423-A is deficient by more than 0 .2 in. from the plan thickness, take one 4-in . diameter core at that location to verify the measurement. If the core is deficient by more than 0.2 in. but not by more than 0.75 in . from the plan thickness, take 2 additional cores from the unit (as defined in Section 360.4 .L .3, "Pavement Units for Payment Adjustment") at intervals of at least 150 ft. and at locations selected by the Engineer, and determine the thickness of the unit for payment purposes by averaging the length of the 3 cores . In calculations of the average thickness of this unit of pavement, measurements in excess of the specified thickness by more than 0 .2 in. will be considered as the specified thickness plus 0 .2 in . - 2. Thickness Deficiencies Greater than 0.75 in. If a c ore is deficient by more than 0 .75 in ., take additional cores at 10 ft. intervals in each direction parallel to the centerline to dete rmine the boundary of the deficient area.
