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 too 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.

GENERAL: 1. Furnish materials and necessary accessories , with strengths, thickness, coatings, and f ittings indicated, specified and/or necessary to complete the work . 2 . All excavation shall provide an open area conforming to the outside diameter of the casing and/or carrier conduit. The excavation shall be to an alignment and grade which will allow the carrier conduit to be installed to proper line and grade as shown on the Plans and as established in the Specifications. 3 . Work shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of the City of Fort Worth Water Department, the Texas Department of Transportation , or railroad company , as applicable . B. MATERIALS: 10123/08 1. Casing Pipe: Casing pipe shall be steel conforming to ANSI 836.10 and the followi ng: a . Field Strength: 35 ,000 psi minimum. ASC-4 PART DA -ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS b. Wall thickness : 0.312 in . minimum (0.5 for railroad crossings). c. Diameter: As shown on the drawings (minimum size requirements). d. Joints : Continuous circumferential weld in accordance with AWS 01 .1. 2 . Carrier Pipe in Casing : Carrier pipe shall be as shown on drawings and as specified in the General Contract Documents . 3. Sewer Pipe without Casing Pipe:. Shall be minimum Class 51 ductile iron pipe, or as designated on the plans . 4 . Grout: Grout shall be Portland Cement grout of min . 2000 psi compressive strength at 28 days . Proport ioned not less than 1 cu. ft. of cement to 3 cu . ft . of fine sand with sufficient water added to provide a free flowing thick slurry. C. EXECUTION 10123/08 1. Where sewer pipe is required to be installed under railroad embankments or under highways , streets or other facilities in other than open cut, construction shall be performed in such a manner so as to not interfere with the operation of the railroad , street , highway , or other facility, and so as not to weaken or damage any embankment or structure . During construction operations , barricades and lights to safeguard traffic and pedestrians shall be furnished and maintained , until such time as the backfill has been completed and then shall be removed from the site . 2. Pits and Trenches : a. If the grade of the pipe at the end is below the ground surface , suitable pits or trenches shall be excavated for the purpose of conducting the jacking or tunneling operations and for placing end joints of the pipe . Wherever end trenches are cut in the sides of the embankment or beyond it , such work shall be sheeted securely and braced in a manner to prevent earth from caving in. b. The location of the pit shall meet the approval of the Eng ineer. c. The pits of trenches excavated to facilitate these operations shall be backfilled immediately after the casing and carrier pipe installation has been completed. · 3 . Boring and Jacking Steel Casing Pipe : Steel casing pipe shall be installed by boring hole with the earth auger and simultaneously jacking pipe into place. a . The boring shall proceed from a pit provided for the boring equipment and workmen. The holes are to be bored mechanically. The boring shall be done using a pilot hole. By this method an approximate 2-inch hole shall be bored the entire length of the crossing and shall be checked for line and grade on the opposite end of the bore from the work pit. This pilot hole ASC-5 10/23108 PART DA -ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS shall serve as the centerline of the larger diameter hole to be bored. Other methods of maintaining line and grade on the casing may be approved if acceptable to the Engineer. Excavated material shall be placed near the top of the working pit and disposed. of as required . The use of water or other fluids in connection with the boring operation will be permitted only to the extent required to lubricate cuttings . Jetting or sluicing will not be permitted . b. In unconsolidated soil formations, a gel-forming colloidal drilling fluid consisting of at least 10 percent of high grade carefully processed bentonite may be used to consolidate cuttings of the bit, seal the walls of the hole, and furnish lubrication for subsequent removal of cuttings and installation of the pipe immediately thereafter. c. Allowable variation from the line and grade shall be as specified under paragraph A.2. All voids between bore and outside of casing shall be pressure grouted . 4. Installation of Carrier Pipe in Casing: a. Sanitary sewer pipe located within the encasement pipe shall be supported by "skids" or "bands" to prevent the pipe and bells from snagging on the inside of the casing, and to keep the installed line from resting on the bells. b. All skids shall be treated with a wood preservative. Skids should extend for the full length of the pipe with the exception of the bell area and spigot area necessary for assembly unless otherwise specified . c. The Contractor shall prevent over-belling the pipe while installing it through the casing . A method of restricting the movement between the assembled bell and spigot where applicable shall be provided . d. At all bored, jacked, or tunneled installations, the annular space between the carrier pipe and casing shall be filled with grout. Care must be taken that not too much water is forced into the casing so as not to float the pipe. The backfill material will not be required unless specified on the plans and specified by the Engineer. e. Closure of the casing after the pipe has been installed shall be plugged at the ends of the casing as shown on the drawings or as required by the Engineer. 5. Boring and Jacking Ductile Iron Pipe without Casing Pipe : a. b. As indicated on drawings and as required and directed by the Engineer sewer shall be constructed of bore and jacked ductile iron pipe. When a casing pipe is not designated on the drawings, the contractor shall provide a casing pipe if necessary to achieve line and grade. Casing pipe ASC-6 PART DA -ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS shall be provided at no additional cost and shall be subsidiary to the cost bid for installation By Other than Open Cut. c . Bore and jack in accordance with paragraph C.3 . above. d . Short length of sewer consisting of a single pipe section may be installed by jacking without a bore hole if permitted by the Engineer and in soft soil layer. All voids outside of installed pipe shall be pressure grouted . 6 . Tunneling : Where the characteristics of the soil, the size of the proposed pipe, or the use of monolithic sewer would make the use of tunneling more satisfactory than jacking or boring , or when shown on the plans, a tunneling method may be used , with the approval of the Engineer or railroad/highway officials . a. When tunneling is permitted, the lining of the tunnel shall be of sufficient strength of support the overburden. The Contractor shall submit the proposed liner method to the Engineer for approval. The tunnel liner design shall bear the seal of a licensed professional engineer in the State of Texas. Approval by the Engineer shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for the adequacy of the liner method. b. The space between the tunnel liner and the limits of excavation shall be pressure grouted or mud-jacked. c. Access holes for placing concrete shall be space at maximum intervals of 10 feet. D. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT: Installation of pipe by other than open cut will be measured by the linear foot of pipe , complete in place . Such measurement will be made between the ends of the pipe along the central axis as installed . The work performed and materials furnished as prescribed by this item will be paid for at the Contract Unit Price bid per linear foot for Pipe Installed by Other Than Open Cut of the type, size , and class of pipe specified as shown on plans. .

Contractor shall pulverize the existing pavement to a depth of 8-in c h. After pulverization is completed, contractor shall temporarily remove and store the 8-inch deep pul v erized material, then cut the base 2-in ch t o provide place for the. new 2-inch H .M.A .C. surface. The 2-inch base cut shal l start at a depth of 8-inch from the existing pulverized surface. After the undercut operation is completed, the temporari ly stored 8-inch deep pulverized material shall be returned to the excavation. If the existing pavement has a combination of IO-inches of H.M.A.C and crushed stone/gravel, undercut will not be required . The contractor will pulverize the I 0-inches, a nd the 2-inch cut will be taken , from the I 0-inch pulverized material. In case of high crown, the contractor shall pulverize the ex1tmg crown and pavement. The Construction Engineer will determine the appropriate undercut depth to meet the City standard .
