In adjusting the contract time for completion of work, consideration will be given to unforeseen causes beyond the control of and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, fire, flood, tornadoes, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, embargoes, or delays of sub-contractors due to such causes. C7-7(3) When the .date of completion is based on a calendar day bid, a request for extension of time because of inclement weather will not be considered. A request for extension of time due to inability to obtain supplies and materials will be considered 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 bonafide attempt to secure delivery on schedule. This shall include efforts to obtain the supplies and materials from alternate sources in case the first source cannot make delivery. If satisfactory execution and completion of the contract should require work and materials in greater amounts or quantities than those set forth in the approved Contract Documents, then the contract. time mat be increased by Change Order.

C7-7.10 TIME OF COMPLETION: The time of completion is an essential element of the Contract.

The number of days indicated shall be a realistic estimate of the time required to complete the work covered by the specific contract being bid upon. The amount of time so stated by the successful bidder or the City will become the time of completion specified in the Contract Documents. For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted after the time specified in the Contract Documents, or increased time granted by the Owner, or as automatically increased by additional work or materials ordered after the contract is signed, the sum per day given in the following schedule, unless otherwise specified in other parts of the Contract Documents, will be deducted from the monies due the Contractor, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages suffered by the Owner.

GENERAL Scope. This section describes manhole testing to effectively confirm the watertight integrity of existing manholes following structural ,infiltration and inflow related repairs and that the appearance of the work is acceptable. Description: Infiltration may be observed in manhole defects at manhole walls, pipe seals or bench/trough areas. Infiltration related repairs are intended to eliminate leakage of groundwater into manholes. Inflow may be observed in manhole defects at manhole frames, covers, frame seals, grade adjustments, grade adjustment seals, corbels, or walls . Inflow related repairs are intended to eliminate sources of surface water entry that become active during rainfall events. . Structural repairs may be required when making 1/1 related manhole repairs. Structural repairs may include defects in any manhole components but not displaying 1/1. Testing, Observations and Guarantee Periods: The. testing required shall be performed by the Contractor at locations designated by the Engineer and documented to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Any new or rehabilitated manholes that are observed to be leaking by the Engineer during periods of high groundwater or during inflow conditions shall be subject to additional repairs. The Contractor shall be responsible for all additional repairs required on these unsatisfactory manholes during the guarantee period. All manhole rehabilitation work shall be warranted to be free of defects and of good workmanship for a minimum of three (3) years from the date of final acceptance of the project. Any manhole repairs completed by the Contractor which fail during the warranty period shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the City at no additional cost to the City. B. MATERIALS -Not specified. C. EXECUTION Infiltration Testing; All interior coated manholes and all partial replacement manholes shall be observed (tested) by the Contractor in the presence of the Engineer for sources of infiltration . Observations will be made during high groundwater conditions, wherever possible. Manholes shall be tested after installation with all connections (existing and/or proposed) in place. Drop-connections and gas sealing connections shall b~ installed prior to testing. The lines entering the manhole shall be temporarily plugged with the plugs braced to prevent them from being drawn into the manhole. The plugs shall be installed in the lines beyond drop-connections, gas sealing 1o;231os ASC-42 PART DA-ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS connections, etc. The test head shall be placed inside the frame at the top of the manhole (so that the manhole frame seal is tested) and inflated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. A vacuum of 1 O inches of mercury shall be drawn, and the vacuum pump will be turned off. With the va1ve ·c1osed, the level of vacuum shall be read after the required test time . If the drop in the level is less than 1-inch of mercury (final vacuum greater than 9-inches of mercury), the manhole will have passed the vacuum test. After a successful test, the temporary plugs will be removed. The required test time is determined from Table I.

[Example: A 30 (thirty) foot deep, 48 (forty-eight) inch Manhole Total Test Time would be 75.0 seconds. 45.0+6(5.0)=75.0 seconds] (Values listed above are extrapolated from ASTM C924-85). Manhole vacuum levels observed to drop greater than 1-inch of mercury (Final vacuum less than 9- inches of mercury) will have failed the test and will require additional rehabilitation. The Contractor shall make the necessary repairs to the already completed rehabilitation work at no additional · compensation. If the failure of the vacuum test is determined to be due to preexisting conditions not on the manhole rehabilitation schedule for that manhole, this additional work may be authorized by the Owner's Representative. After completion of the additional rehabilitation the manhole shall then be re-tested as described above until a successful test is made. Only one payment for manhole vacuum testing will be made on each manhole. Vacuum testing is required on all manholes having interior rehabilitation. Inflow Testing: All partially rehabilitated manholes shall be dyed water tested unless the manhole has successfully passed the vacuum test. Manholes shall be dyed water tested in the presence of the Engineer. The dye test shall consist of applying a concentrated dye solution around the manhole frame . Dyed . water shall be applied for at least ten minutes. Manholes observed to be actively leaking greater than one drip per five seconds will have failed the test and will not be acceptable. Manholes failing the test will require additional rehabilitation by the Contractor at no additional compensation. Other Testing: 10/23/08 ASC-43 PART DA-ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS One (1) rehabilitated manhole will be randomly selected for further testing. A laboratory selected by the City will take core samples of wall sections of manholes with wall coatings.

The project consists of a proposed meter station . The meter station will consist of a 4 foot by 8 foot concrete meter vault. The bottom of the meter vault will be at a depth of 1 O feet below the existing ground surface. 2.0 SCOPE OF INVESTIGATION The purposes of the study were to : 1) explore the subsurface conditions at the site, 2) characterize the subsurface conditions by testing the physical and enginee ring properties of the underlying soil and rock strata and by observing groundwater co :. ms, 3) provide foundation recommendations for proposed meter stat ion, and 4) prov ide below grade wall construction recommendations. This report was prepared in general accordance with Mas- Tek Engineering 's Proposal No . POB-0701 E dated July 17, 2008. 3.0 FIELD OPERATIONS The field investigation consisted of drilling one (1) test boring in the vicinity of the proposed meter station . The test boring was drilled to a depth of 30 feet below the existing ground surface . The boring was located at the approximate location shown on the Plan of Boring (Figure 1). A truck-mounted drilling rig was used to advance these borings and to obtain samples for laboratory evaluation. Undisturbed specimens of the cohesive soils were obtained using standard, thin-walled, seamless tube samplers. These specimens were extruded in the field, logged, sealed, and packaged in plastic sample bags to protect them from disturbance and maintain their in-situ moisture content during transportation to our laboratory. Foundation bearing properties of the sandy soils encountered in the boring were evaluated by the Standard Penetration test in conjunction with split spoon sampling. The Standard Penetration tests involves driving a standard 2 inch diameter sampler a total of one foot and MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES EOS-0302 PAGE 1 recording the blow counts and driving distances for each 6 inch or 50 blow increment. The first 6 inch drive is for seating purposes . The results of the Standard Penetration tests are recorded at the respective testing depths on the Logs of Borings . 4 .0 LABORATORY TESTING Samples were examined at our laboratory by the project geotechnical engineer. Selected samples were subjected to _ laboratory tests under the superv ision of th is engineer. The in-situ unit weight, moisture content, and liquid and plastic limits of se lected soil samples were measured . These tests were used to estimate the potential volumetric change of the different soil strata and as an ind ication of the uniformity of the material. Hand penetrometer tests were also performed to provide an ind ication of the variation of soil strength and soil swell with depth. An unconfined compressive strength test was performed to provide foundation bearing properties of the clay soils . To provide additional information about the swell characteristics of these so il s (at their in-situ moisture conditions), an absorption swell test was performed on a selected sample of the clay soils . The results of our test ing program are presented on the Log of Boring (Figure 2) and on the swell test results (Figure 4). 5.0 SURFACE CONDITIONS 5.1 GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS The project site is located within Malaga Park which is located adjacent to and north of Malaga Drive in Fort Worth , Texas . The project site is adjacent to and just east of Lake Worth . See Plan of Boring (Figure 1) for site location and aerial view . The site is covered with grass and trees . 5.2 SITE GEOLOGY As shown on the Dallas sheet of the Geologic Atlas of Texas , the site is located in an area where Fluviatile Terrace deposits are present over the Goodland Limestone Formation . Fluviatile Terrace deposits are Quaternary Age deposits consisting of gravel , sand , si lt and clay. The Fluviatile Terrace deposits extend to depths of 30+ feet at this site according to the results of the test boring which extended to a termination depth of 30 feet. MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E09-0302 PAGE2 5.3 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Subsurface conditions encountered in the borings, including descriptions of the various strata and their depths and thicknesses, are presented on the Logs of Boring. Note that depth on all borings refers 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 . 5.4 GROUNDWATER The boring was advanced with continuous flight auger drilling equipment. This method allows relatively accurate groundwater observations to be made while drilling. Groundwater was encountered during drilling at a depth of about 13 feet below the existing ground surface . The subsurface water conditions are subject to change with variations in climatic conditions and are also functions of subsurface soil conditions, rainfall and water levels within the adjacent creek. '3.0 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 SOIL MOVEMENTS The subsurface exploration revealed the presence of silty clay, silty shaley clay, and shaley clay soils . These clayey soils hav~ a low to moderate shrink/swell potential depending -upon its moisture condition at the time of construction. Potential Vertical Rise (PVR) calculations were performed using swell test results to estimate the swell potential of the soil. The estimated PVR value for the lift station bottom (assuming a minimum 10 foot cut below the E!Xisting ground surface) is on the order of one (1) inch . The estimated PVR value for ground level flatwork adjacent to the meter station is on the order of 3 inches based upon current grades and current soil moisture conditions. It should be noted that the upper silty clay soils were generally in an average moisture condition at the time of this investigation . It should be noted that if these clay soils are allowed to dry prior to flatwork construction that the potential vertical rise for at grade flatwork could increase to over 4 inches. 6.2 SITE PREPARATION FOR METER STATION · We recommend that the following site preparation work be performed for the meter station: 1. Perform required excavation for the meter station. 2. Excavate and remove all clay soils present at the base of cut (approximately 2 feet of additional cut will be required based upon the results of the test boring and an anticipated cut of 10 feet to reach bottom of the meter station). The clay soils should MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E09-0302 PAGE3 be removed until the very dense sand is encountered . It is important that the contractor does not excavate more than 6 inches into the non-plastic sands. We recommend that the base of cut be observed by a Mas-Tek Engineer to verify that all clay soils have been removed. Excavations should extend 4 feet beyond the limits of the meter station foundation. 3. After the excavation has been performed, the upper 6" of the sand subgrade should be moistened and compacted with a vibratory plate at -1% to +2% to a minimum of 95% ASTM D698 (Standard Proctor). It should be noted that the sand surface can easily be disturbed and loosened especially if the surface becomes dry. It is imperative that the contractor place and compact the select fill in a timely manner after achieve compaction of the sand surface and in a manner not to loosen the sands. The moisture condition of the sands should be maintained until the select fill has been placed and compacted. 4. Fill to bottom of meter station with low Pl select fill. The material used as select fill should be a very sandy clay to clayey sand with a plasticity index between 4 and 14. The fill should be spread in loose lifts, less than 9 inches thick, and uniformly compacted to a minimum of 98 percent of ASTM Standard D 698 between -1 and +2 percentage points of the soil's optimum moisture content. If the above site preparation work is performed, the estimated PVR below the meter station should be negligible. If a one inch PVR is acceptable, then place 8 inches of select fill below the meter station over the very stiff to hard shaley clay (with verification by Mas-Tek of very stiff clay with a shaley clay thickness of less than 2 feet below the meter station). Prior to select fill placement, moisten the shaley clay surface and compact at optimum to +3% above optimum to 97% ASTM 0698 . 6.3 MAT FOUNDATION SYSTEM A shallow mat foundation system founded on adequately compacted select fill soils as verified by Mas-Tek Engineering may be used to support the proposed meter station. We recommend that an allowable bearing capacity of 2,500 psf be used for design. The fou _ndation plan and the utility plan should be cross-checked to verify that no utility line excavation extends beneath the bearing influence of any footing. Trench cuts extending beneath the footings (or within their bearing influence) should be avoided, if possible. MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E09-0302 PAGE4 Otherwise, the trench backfill should consist of lean concrete within the bearing influence of the footing. 6.4 FLAT WORK CONSIDERATIONS Provisions should be made for post-construction differential upward movement of adjacent flatwork. Site grading plans should include provisions for the effects of soil movements on adjacent flatwork. The estimated PVR value for ground level flatwork adjacent to the meter station is on the order of 3 inches based upon current grades and current moisture conditions . As previously mentioned, if the clay soils are allowed to dry prior to flatwork construction, the potential vertical rise for at grade flatwork could increase to over 4 inches. If it is desired to reduce the potential soil swell movement of the adjacent flatwork, Mas-Tek Engineering should be contacted for recommendat ions . 7.0 BELOW GRADE WALLS It is understood that the meter station will be constructed at a depth of about 10 feet below existing ground surface . The below grade meter station walls will be subject to the following at-rest pressures. At-Rest Pressure On Walls: Select Fill : 60 pcf drained; On-Site Soil: 80 pcf drained ; 92 pcf undrained 102 pcf undrained If on-site soil is used as backfill, compact shaley clay at +4% to + 7% above optimum to 92% ASTM D698 for clay soils having a Pl of 30 or greater. Silty clay soils having a Pt of less than 30 and on-site broken limestone (with 6 inch maximum size) should be compacted at +2% to +5% above optimum to 94% ASTM D698 . If select fill is used as backfill, the material used as select fill should be a very sandy clay to clayey sand with a liquid limit of 32 or less. We recommend the plasticity index of this material be between 4 and 14. The fill should be spread in loose lifts, less than 8 inches thick, and uniformly compacted to between 95 and 98 percent of ASTM Standard D 698 between -2% and +2% percentage points of the soil's optimum moisture content. Do not over compact. The moisture content of the completed pad must be maintained during construction until all slabs have been constructed . MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E09-0302 PAGE 5 For all backfill, use ha·nd compaction only within 5' of walls and backfill in lifts uniformly around meter station within 45 degree backfill wedge (45 degree wedge from base of wall to ground surface). 8.0 INSPECTION AND TESTING Many problems can be avoided or solved in the field if proper inspect ion and testing services are provided. It is recommended that all pier drilling, proofrolling, site and subgrade preparation , and elevator wall and slab construction 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-Tek Engineering would be pleased to assist you with construction inspection and testing services on this project. 9.0 LIMITATIONS The professional services that have been performed, the findings obtained, and the recommendations prepared were accomplished i. 1 accordance with currently accepted geotechnical engineering princ iples 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, and cost of the project. If there are any unusual conditions differing significantly from those described herein, Mas-Tek Engineering should be notified to review the effects on the performance of the recommended foundation system. The recommendations given . in this report were prepared exclusively for the use of client and their consultants. 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 untested samples acquired for this project for a period of 30 days subsequent to the submittal date printed on the report. After this period, the samples will be discarded unless otherwise notified by the owner in writing ..
