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.

It is mutually agreed that such failure shall not be considered sufficient basis for claims for additional compensation for extra work or for increasing the pay quantities in any manner whatsoever. The Contractor shall be responsible for verifying the locations of and protecting all existing utilities, service lines, or other property exposed by his construction operations. Contractor shall make all necessary provisions (as approved or authorized by the applicable utility company) for the support, protection and/or temporary relocation of all utility poles, gas lines, telephone cables, utility services, water mains, sanitary sewer lines, electrical cables , drainage pipes, and _all other utilities and structures both above and below ground during construction. · It is understood that the Contractor is not responsible for the permanent relocation of existing utilities in direct conflict with the proposed construction . The Contractor is liable for all damages done to such existing facilities as a result of his operations and any and all cost incurred for the protection and/or temporary relocation of such facilities are deemed subsidiary work and the cost of same and shall be included in the cost bid per linear foot of pipe installed. NO ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION WILL BE ALLOWED . . Where existing utilities or service lines are cut, broken or damaged the Contractor shall replace or repair the utilities or .service lines with the same type of original material and construction, or better, unless otherwise shown or noted on the plans, at his own cost and expense. The Contractor shall immediately notify the Owner of the damaged utility or service .line . He shall cooperate with the Owners of all utilities to locate e?(isting underground facilities and notify the Engineer of any conflicts in grades and alignment. In case it is necessary to change or move the property of any owner of a public utility, such property shall not be moved or interfered with until ordered to do so by the Engineer. The right is reserved to the owner of public utilities to enter upon the limits of the project for the purpose of making such changes or repairs of their property that may be made necessary by performance of this contract. The utility lines and conduits shown on the plans are for information only and are not guaranteed by the City of the Engineer to be accurate as to extent, location, and depth; they are shown on the plans as the best information available at the time of design , from the owners of the utilities involved and from evidences found on the ground. D-7 CONSTRUCTION .TRAFFIC OVER PIPELINES . It is apparent that certain construction vehicles could exceed the load bearing capacity of the pipe under shallow bury conditions . It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to protect both the new 02/09/2010 SC-8 PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS line and the existing lines from these possibly excessive loads. The Contractor shall not, at any time, cross the existing or new pipe with a truck delivering new pipe to the site. Any damage to the existing or new pipe will be repaired or replaced by the Contractor, at the Contractor's expense, to the satisfaction of the City. In locations where it is not permissible to cross the existing or proposed pipes without additional protection the Contractor may elect to provide additional protection of the pipes so that more frequent crossings of the pipes are allowed. It still is, however, the responsibility of the Contractor to repair any damage to the existing or proposed lines, if the damage results from any phase of his . construction operation.

It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth to comply with the requirements of the Asbestos National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) found at 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M. This specification will establish procedures to be used by all Excavators in the removal and disposal of asbestos cement pipe (ACP) in compliance with NESHAP. Nothing in this specification shall be construed to void any provision of a contract or other law, ordinance, regulation or policy whose requirements are more stringent. B. ACP is defined under NESHAP as a Category II, non-friable material in its intact state but which may become friable upon removal, demolition and/or disposal. Consequently, if the removal/ disposal process renders the ACP friable, it is regulated under the disposal requirements of 40 CFR 61.150. A NESHAP notification must be filed with the Texas 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. D. It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth that all ACP shall be removed in such careful and prudent manner that it remains intact and does not become friable. The Excavator is responsible to employ those means, methods, techniques and sequences to ensure this result. E. Compliance with all aspects of worker safety and health regulations including but not limited to the OSHA Asbestos Standard is the responsibility of the Excavator. The City of Fort Worth assumes no responsibility for compliance programs, which are the responsibility of the Excavator. (Copy of forms attached) F.

Based upon the City 's assessment of the submitted information, a recommendation regarding the award of a contract will be made to the City Council.

Affected contractors will be notified in writing of a recommendation to the City Council. D-70 EARLY WARNING SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTION Time is of the essence in the completion of this contract. In order to insure that the contractor is responsive when notified of unsatisfactory performance .and/or of failure to maintain the contract schedule , the following process shall be applicable: The work progress on all construction projects will be closely monitored. On a bi-monthly basis the percentage of work completed will be compared to the percentage of time charged to the c·ontract. If the amount of work performed by the contractor is less than the percentage of time allowed by 20% or more (example: 10% of the work completed in 30% of the stated contract time as may be amended by change order), the following proactive measures will be taken: 1. A letter will be mailed to the contractor by certified mail, return receipt requested demanding that, within 10 days from the date that the letter is received, it provide sufficient equipment, materials and labor to ensure completion of the work within the contract time.

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 ..

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.

A box culvert and headwall will be constructed on private property between Briarhaven and an existing concrete lined channel outfall. 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 trench shoring and backfilling. 2.0 FIELD INVESTIGATION The field investigation consisted of drilling a total of 6 sample borings along the proposed pipeline alignment. The borings were located at the approximate locations shown on the Plan of Borings (Figure 1a thru 1d). 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. The rock was evaluated by cone penetration tests. 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 and unconfined compression tests were performed on selected samples of the cohesive soils to provide indications of the swell potential and the foundation bearing properties of the subsurface strata. The results of our testing program are presented on the Logs of Borings. MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E09-1013-02 PAGE 1 4.0 SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS 4.1 GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS Storm drainage improvements will include installation of storm drain pipe beneath sections of Summercrest Drive and Briarhaven. A box culvert and headwall will be constructed on private property between Briarhaven and an existing concrete lined channel outfall. 4.2 SITE GEOLOGY As shown on the Tarrant sheet of the Geologic Atlas of Texas, the site is located in an area underlain by the Ft. Worth Limestone and the Duck Creek Formations. The formations contain primarily hard limestone, shale and clay layers . The upper layers of the formation at this site contain highly variable and random units. In some areas, shallow clay soils are underlain by predominant limestone. In other areas, the shallow limestone formation contains thick expansive clay layers and shale layers. In other areas, deep expansive clay with occasional limestone layers is present. The weathered and unweathered rock consists of hard to very hard limestone . Gray unweathered rock was typically encountered at depths ranging from 11' to 14' and is generally overlain by hard to very hard tan weathered limestone and clay layers as indicated on the boring logs. 4.3 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Subsurface conditions encountered in the borings, including descriptions of the various strata and their depths and thickness, are presented on the Logs of Borings. Note that depth on all boring logs 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. 4.4 GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS The borings were advanced using air-rotary drilling methods. Advancement of the borings using these methods allows observation of the initial zones of seepage. The borings were dry upon drilling completion. MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E09-1013-02 PAGE2 . Groundwater seepage should be anticipated within the overburden soils and within the fractured weathered limestone and shale layers after rain events. Construction dewatering should be anticipated for all below grade excavations . 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 climatic conditions and are functions of subsurface soil conditions, rainfall, water levels within nearby creeks and rivers, and leakage of existing below grade utilities in the vicinity of the proposed alignment. Installation of groundwater monitoring wells would allow accurate monitoring of seasonal groundwater levels. 5.0 ANALYSES AND RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1 SOIL MOVEMEN1 The subsurface exploration borings revealed the presence of expansive clay soils having a moderate to high shrink/swell potential at the project site. Potential Vertical Rise (PVR) calculations were performed using moisture content, pocket penetrometer, and correlations with swell test results to estimate the swell potential of the soil in their existing moisture condition. Estimated PVR values based upon the existing moisture conditions range from 2 to 3 inches of "active-zone" swell. In a dry condition, where the surficial clay soils are in a dry condition at the time of construction, the "active zone" soil swell PVR would exceed 4+ inches. 6.0 EARTHWORK GUIDELINES 6.1 UTILITY TRENCH EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL Trench excavation for utilities should be sloped or braced in the interest of safety. Attention is drawn to OSHA Safety and Health Standards (29 CFR 1926/1910), Subpart P, regarding trench excavations greater than 5 feet in depth. Trench excavations should be backfilled with on-site clay and crushed rock, compacted in 8-inch lifts at +1 to +4% above optimum to 95% ASTM D698. For fill depths over 10 feet, compaction should be increased to 98% ASTM 0698 (at -2% to +2% of optimum). The on-site rock should be crushed to a maximum rock size of 6 inches. Settlement of compacted fill on the order of 1 % of the fill height should be anticipated. MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E09-1013-02 PAGE3 6.1.1 EXCAVATION CONSIDERATIONS It is understood that open cut trench excavations will be performeq at this site. It is understood that trench depths will be in the range of 10 to 12 feet deep. For trench excavations less than five feet in depth, and in stable compact clay soils, trench excavations 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 (weathered limestone and/or fractured limestone), or where seepage, or sloughing is observed, it will be necessary to employ either sloped excavations or temporary bracing . For excavations 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. 6.1.2 OPEN CUTS Recommended slope ratios for the respective soil conditions are presented graphically on Figure 9. Trench excavations encountering submerged soils or fractured rock from which water is seeping should be cut back in accordance with OSHA regulations as indicated on Figure 9. Trench excavations to depths of less than five feet in . unstable . soil or rock conditions as described above should be cut back in a similar manner. 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, in accordance with OSHA regulations. Vehicle traffic should be maintained at least five feet from the edge of the crest. Excavations 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):I (V). 6.1.3 TRENCH BRACING/BORE PIT SHORING Where site limitations 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 10. Note: It should be recognized that MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E09-1013-02 PAGE4 r I! 1 I ! fl I . ,, 11 II:; i :J ' i 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. 6.1.4 DEWATERING It should be anticipated that groundwater will be encountered in excavations. Groundwater levels will be encountered at relatively shallow depths particularly after periods of heavy rain. It should be anticipated that groundwater wjll be encountered at shallow depths near the existing structures due to leakage and ponding water beneath these below grade structures and within below grade backfill of undrained structures. 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 the backfill sections. 6.1.5 PROTECTION OF EXISTING UTILITIES The contractor should be required to take all necessary precautions to protect all existing utilities during excavation and construction. 6.jJ> PAVEMENT PATCHING To minimize differential settlements of patched pavement areas, the pavement should be removed to limits of 18 inches beyond the actual trench width to allow the edges of the patched pavement to be supported by undisturbed soil. The new pavement should consist of 6 inches of HMAC (2" Type D surface course over 4" Type B Binder course placed in two - 2" lifts) over 12 inches of crushed stone base (per TxDOT Item 247 , Type A, Grade 1). The flexbase should be compacted in 4 inch lifts at -1 % to +2% of optimum to 95% ASTM D1557. Prior to placement of the flexbase, the upper 8 inches of subgrade soil should be compacted at -2% to +2% of optimum to 98% ASTM D698 . A geotextile separator should be placed on the compacted subgrade at the contact between the flexbase and the compacted subgrade. The geotextile shall be specified in the "Special Technical Specifications" in Appendix of the City of Ft. Worth's 2005 Pavement Design Standards Manual. MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E09-1013-02 PAGES 6.2 MOISTURE CONDITIONING PRIOR TO COMPACTION Each layer shall be leveled with approved equipment. After spreading, each layer shall be thoroughly manipulated by plowing, discing, or other approved methods of the full depth of the layer being placed to insure uniform density and moisture distribution for proper compaction. The moisture content at the time of compaction shall be within the range specified in these special provisions. If the material is too dry, it shall be moistened by watering before and during manipulation, to properly condition the material for compaction. If the material is too wet, the compaction operation shall be delayed until the moisture content has been reduced to within satisfactory compaction range. Because of time of completion limitations, thoroughly processing of the on-site clay soils will be required during manipulation if the moisture content is below optimum at the time of placement. Each fill lift should be processed until the soil mixture is free of large clods to allow uniform moisture distribution and uniform compaction within the entire fill lift. This is particularly important if highly plastic clay soils are to be used as fill in the building pads. The amount of processing and reworking required to achieve uniform moisture conditions can be reduced by pre-wetting the onsite soils prior to placement. 6.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS As a quality control measure, pocket penetrometer (P.P.) Tests shall be performed with each field density test during construction as further verification that proper moisture conditioning is being achieved within the entire fill lift of moisture-conditioned clay. Similarly, P.P. tests should be performed on each Proctor Compaction Point in the laboratory for correlation and verification of the desired P.P. range with respect to Proctor moisture, density and soil swell. 7.0 FIELD SUPERVISION AND DENSITY TESTING Field density and moisture content determinations should be made on each lift of fill with a minimum of 1 test per lift per 150 linear feet of utility trench backfill and pavement base. Supervision by the field technician and the project 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. MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E09-1013-02 PAGE6 Many problems can be avoided or solved in the field if proper inspection and testing services are provided. It is recommended that all drilled pier operations, water pressure injection, site and subgrade preparation, proofrolling, subgrade stabilization, and pavement 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 & 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, 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 performance of the recommended foundation system. The recommendations given in this report were prepared exclusively for the use of the Client and their consultants. The information supplied herein is applic~ble 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 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. MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E09-1013-02 PAGE7 ii j\ ,I l! ii I, !: I : ! r!
