of Alternate 2.
City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
In addition to the contract amount, $197,169.00 is required for project management, material testing and
inspection, and $107,513.00 is provided for project contingencies.
The sanitary sewer component of this project is part of the Water Department's Sanitary Sewer Overflow
Initiative Program. Approximately 1,225 linear feet of sanitary sewer pipe will be installed as part of this
project.
This project will have no impact on the Water Department's operating budget when completed.
It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its CIP plan throughout the Fiscal Year (FY),
instead of within the annual budget ordinance, as projects commence, additional funding needs are
identified, and to comply with bond covenants.
Funding is budgeted in the Unspecified All Funds project within the Water & Sewer Capital Projects Fund
for the purpose of funding the Sanitary Sewer Contract 127 project.
Appropriations for the Sanitary Sewer Contract 127 project are depicted below:

The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 3 and City of Benbrook.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Unspecified All-Funds project
within the W&S Capital Projects Fund, and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of
the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the W&S Capital Projects Fund for the
Sanitary Sewer Contract 127 project to support the above recommendations and execution of the
contract. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the responsibility of verifying
the availability of funds.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. If I am Business Equity Firm, can I count my performance of the bid?
Answer: A Business Equity Prime Contractor can count its self-performance towards meeting the
Business Equity Goal for the assigned North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
commodity codes on its Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Women Business Enterprise (WBE)
certification.
2. What if I am a Business Equity Firm, but I am unable to self perform all work or provide all of the
goods under the bid, can I count my performance under the Bid?

Failure to complete this form, in its entirety, and received by the Purchasing Division no later than 2:00 p.m. on the third City business day after bid opening, exclusive of bid opening date,
will result in the bid being considered non-responsive to bid specifications. Exception: CFA, ICA, and CDBG projects, documents will be submitted to the City Project Manager if publicly
bid or to the Developer if privately bid.
The undersigned Prime/Offeror agrees to enter into a formal agreement with the Business Equity firm(s) listed in this utilization schedule, conditioned upon execution of a contract with the
City of Fort Worth (Exception: Developer projects). The intentional and/or knowing misrepresentation of facts is grounds for consideration of disqualification and will result in the bid being
considered non-responsive to bid specifications.
Business Equity firms listed toward meeting the project goal must be located in the City's marketplace at the time of bid or the business has a Significant Business Presence in the
Marketplace. The marketplace is the City of Fort Worth including portions of Denton, Parker, Wise, and all of Tarrant, Dallas, and Johnson counties.
Certified means those Business Equity Firms, located within the Marketplace, that have been determined to be a bona-fide minority or women business enterprise by the
North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency (NCTRCA), Dallas/Fort Worth Minority Supplier Development Council (D/FW MSDC) and Women's Business Council-Southwest
(WBCS).
If hauling services are utilized, the Prime/Offeror will be given credit as long as the Business Equity firm listed owns and operates at least one fully licensed and operational truck to be
used on the contract. The Business Equity firms may lease trucks from another Business Equity firm, including Business Equity owner-operated, and receive full Business Equity
credit. The Business Equity firm may lease trucks from non-Business Equity firms, including owner-operated, but will only receive credit for the fees and commissions earned by the
Business Equity as outlined in the lease agreement.
Federally-funded Projects (ONLY), Counting DBE Participation: If materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer, count 100 percent of the cost of the materials or
supplies towards the goal. If the materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE regular dealer, count 60 percent of the cost of the materials and supplies toward the DBE goal. When
materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE neither a manufacturer nor a regular dealer, count the entire amount of fees or commissions charged for assistance in the
procurement of the materials and supplies or fees or transportation charges for the delivery of the materials or supplies delivered to the job site. In all cases, the Prime/Offeror is
responsible to identify the amounts to be used toward the committed DBE goal. Note: For DBE Goals, 60% of the services count towards the goal.

regardless of status; i.e., Business Equity firms and non-Business Equity firms. Prime/Offerors must identify by tier level all subcontractors/suppliers. Tier: means the level of
subcontracting below the Prime/Offeror i.e. a direct payment from the Prime/Offeror to a subcontractor is considered 1st tier, a payment by a subcontractor to its supplier is considered
2nd tier. Business Equity firms are to be listed before non-Business Equity firms. The Prime/Offeror is responsible to provide proof of payment of all tiered sub-contractors/suppliers
identified as a Business Equity firm and counting those dollars towards meeting the contract committed goal.
Certified Business Equity Prime/Offeror Contractors counting their self-performance towards meeting the contract goal, must be certified within those NAICS commodity codes with a

Texas Government Code Chapter 2252 was adopted for the award of contracts to nonresident bidders. 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 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 which the nonresidenYs principal place of business is located.
The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all nonresident bidders in order for your bid to meet
specifications. The failure of nonresident bidders to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident
bidders must check the box in Section B.
A. Nonresident bidders in the State of , 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 bidders in the State of

D. Purpose 15
The City of Fort Worth (City) is committed to delivering quality, cost-effective 16
infrastructure to its citizens in a timely manner. A key tool to achieve this purpose is a 17
properly structured schedule with accurate updates. This supports effective monitoring 18
of progress and is input to critical decision making by the project manager throughout 19
the life of the project. Data from the updated project schedule is utilized in status 20
reporting to various levels of the City organization and the citizenry. 21
22
This Document complements the City's Standard Agreement to guide the construction 23
contractor (Contractor) in preparing and submitting acceptable schedules for use by the 24
City in project delivery. The expectation is the performance of the work follows the 25
accepted schedule and adhere to the contractual timeline. 26

The Contractor will designate a qualified representative (Project Scheduler) responsible 28
for developing and updating the schedule and preparing status reporting as required by 29
the City. 30

STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS [Insert Project Number]
Revised October 6, 2023
Each project is represented by City’s master project schedule that encompasses the 1
entire scope of activities envisioned by the City to properly deliver the work. When the 2
City contracts with a Contractor to perform construction of the Work, the Contractor 3
will develop and maintain a schedule for their scope of work in alignment with the 4
City’s standard schedule requirements as defined herein. The data and information of 5
each such schedule will be leveraged and become integral in the master project 6
schedule as deemed appropriate by the City’s Project Control Specialist and approved 7
by the City’s Project Manager. 8
9
1. Master Project Schedule 10
The master project schedule is a holistic representation of the scheduled activities 11
and milestones for the total project and be Critical Path Method (CPM) based. The 12
City’s Project Manager is accountable for oversight of the development and 13
maintaining a master project schedule for each project. When the City contracts for 14
the design and/or construction of the project, the master project schedule will 15
incorporate elements of the Design and Construction schedules as deemed 16
appropriate by the City’s Project Control Specialist. The assigned City Project 17
Control Specialist creates and maintains the master project schedule in P6 (City’s 18
scheduling software). 19
20
2. Construction Schedule 21
The Contractor is responsible for developing and maintaining a schedule for the 22
scope of the Contractor’s contractual requirements. The Contractor will issue an 23
initial schedule for review and acceptance by the City’s Project Control Specialist 24
and the City’s Project Manager as a baseline schedule for Contractor’s scope of 25
work. Contractor will issue current, accurate updates of their schedule (Progress 26
Schedule) to the City at the end of each month throughout the life of their work. 27
B. Schedule Tiers 28
The City has a portfolio of projects that vary widely in size, complexity and content 29
requiring different scheduling to effectively deliver each project. The City uses a 30
“tiered” approach to align the proper schedule with the criteria for each project. The 31
City's Project Manager determines the appropriate schedule tier for each project, and 32
includes that designation and the associated requirements in the Contractor’s scope of 33
work. The following is a summary of the “tiers”. 34
35
1. Tier 1: Small Size and Short Duration Project (design not required) 36
The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. No 37
schedule submittal is required from Contractor. City’s Project Control Specialist 38
acquires any necessary schedule status data or information through discussions with 39
the respective party on an as-needed basis. 40
41
2. Tier 2: Small Size and Short to Medium Duration Project 42
The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. The 43
Contractor identifies “start” and “finish” milestone dates on key elements of their 44
work as agreed with the City’s Project Manager at the kickoff of their work effort. 45
The Contractor issues to the City, updates to the “start” and “finish” dates for such 46
milestones at the end of each month throughout the life of their work on the project. 47
48
3. Tier 3: Medium and Large Size and/or Complex Projects Regardless of Duration 49

Revised October 6, 2023
The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. The 1
Contractor develops a Baseline Schedule and maintains the schedule of their 2
respective scope of work on the project at a level of detail (generally Level 3) and in 3
alignment with the WBS structure in Section 1.4.H as agreed by the Project 4
Manager. The Contractor issues to the City, updates of their respective schedule 5
(Progress Schedule) at the end of each month throughout the life of their work on the 6
project. 7
C. Schedule Types 8
Project delivery for the City utilizes two types of schedules as noted below. The City 9
develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule as a “baseline” schedule and issue 10
monthly updates to the City Project Manager (end of each month) as a “progress” 11
schedule. The Contractor prepares and submits each schedule type to fulfill their 12
contractual requirements. 13
14
1. Baseline Schedule 15
The Contractor develops and submits to the City, an initial schedule for their scope 16
of work in alignment with this specification. Once reviewed and accepted by the 17
City, it becomes the “Baseline” schedule and is the basis against which all progress 18
is measured. The baseline schedule will be updated when there is a change or 19
addition to the scope of work impacting the duration of the work, and only after 20
receipt of a duly authorized change order issued by the City. In the event progress is 21
significantly behind schedule, the City’s Project Manager may authorize an update 22
to the baseline schedule to facilitate a more practical evaluation of progress. An 23
example of a Baseline Schedule is provided in Specification 01 32 16.1 24
Construction Project Schedule Baseline Example. 25
26
2. Progress Schedule 27
The Contractor updates their schedule at the end of each month to represent the 28
progress achieved in the work which includes any impact from authorized changes 29
in the work. The updated schedule must accurately reflect the current status of the 30
work at that point in time and is referred to as the “Progress Schedule”. The City’s 31
Project Manager and Project Control Specialist reviews and accepts each progress 32
schedule. In the event a progress schedule is deemed not acceptable, the 33
unacceptable issues are identified by the City within 5 working days and the 34
Contractor must provide an acceptable progress schedule within 5 working days 35
after receipt of non-acceptance notification. An example of a Progress Schedule is 36
provided in Specification 01 32 16.2 Construction Project Schedule Progress 37
Example. 38
D. City Standard Schedule requirements 39
The following is an overview of the methodology for developing and maintaining a 40
schedule for delivery of a project. 41

workweek and accounts for the City’s nine standard holidays (New Years, Martin 2
Luther King, Memorial, Juneteenth, Independence, Labor, Thanksgiving, day after 3
Thanksgiving, and Christmas). The Contractor will establish a schedule calendar as 4
part of the schedule development process and provide to the Project Control Specialist 5
as part of the basis for their schedule. Variations between the City’s calendar and the 6
Contractor’s calendar must be resolved prior to the City’s acceptance of their Baseline 7
project schedule. 8

H. WBS & Milestone Standards for Schedule Development 10
The scope of work to be accomplished by the Contractor is represented in the schedule 11
in the form of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The WBS is the basis for the 12
development of the schedule activities and shall be imbedded and depicted in the 13
schedule. 14
15
The following is a summary of the standards to be followed in preparing and 16
maintaining a schedule for project delivery. 17
18
1. Contractor is required to utilize the City’s WBS structure and respective 19
project type template for “Construction” as shown in Section 1.4.H below. 20
Additional activities may be added to Levels 1 - 4 to accommodate the needs 21
of the organization executing the work. Specifically, the Contractor will add 22
activities under WBS XXXXXX.80.83 “Construction Execution” that 23
delineates the activities associated with the various components of the work. 24
25
2. Contractor is required to adhere to the City’s Standard Milestones as shown 26
in Section 1.4.I below. Contractor will include additional milestones 27
representing intermediate deliverables as required to accurately reflect their 28
scope of work. 29
30
I. Schedule Activities 31
Activities are the discrete elements of work that make up the schedule. They will be 32
organized under the umbrella of the WBS. Activity descriptions should adequately 33
describe the activity, and in some cases the extent of the activity. All activities are 34
logically tied with a predecessor and a successor. The only exception to this rule is for 35
“project start” and “project finish” milestones. 36
37
The activity duration is based on the physical amount of work to be performed for the 38
stated activity, with a maximum duration of 20 working days OR a continuous activity 39
in one location. If the work for any one activity exceeds 20 days, break that activity 40
down incrementally to achieve this duration constraint. Any exception to this requires 41
review and acceptance by the City’s Project Control Specialist. 42
43
J. Change Orders 44
When a Change Order is issued by the City, the impact is incorporated into the 45
previously accepted baseline schedule as an update, to clearly show impact to the 46
project timeline. The Contractor submits this updated baseline schedule to the City for 47

review and acceptance as described in Section 1.5 below. Updated baseline schedules 1
adhere to the following: 2
3
1. Time extensions associated with approved contract modifications are limited to the 4
actual amount of time the project activities are anticipated to be delayed, unless 5
otherwise approved by the Program Manager. 6
7
2. The re-baselined schedule is submitted by the Contractor within ten workdays after 8
the date of receipt of the approved Change Order. 9
10
3. The changes in logic or durations approved by the City are used to analyze the impact 11
of the change and is included in the Change Order. The coding for a new activity(s) 12
added to the schedule for the Change Order includes the Change Order number in the 13
Activity ID. Use as many activities as needed to accurately show the work of the 14
Change Order. Revisions to the baseline schedule are not effective until accepted by 15
the City. 16

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 INSTALLERS
A. Tolerances:
1. The staked location of any improvement or facility should be as accurate as
practical and necessary. The degree of precision required is dependent on many
factors all of which must remain judgmental. The tolerances listed hereafter are
based on generalities and, under certain circumstances, shall yield to specific
requirements. The surveyor shall assess any situation by review of the overall plans
and through consultation with responsible parties as to the need for specific
tolerances.
a. Earthwork: Grades for earthwork or rough cut should not exceed 0.1 ft. vertical
tolerance. Horizontal alignment for earthwork and rough cut should not exceed
1.0 ft. tolerance.
b. Horizontal alignment on a structure shall be within .0.1ft tolerance.
c. Paving or concrete for streets, curbs, gutters, parking areas, drives, alleys and
walkways shall be located within the confines of the site boundaries and,
occasionally, along a boundary or any other restrictive line. Away from any
restrictive line, these facilities should be staked with an accuracy producing no
more than 0.05ft. tolerance from their specified locations.
d. Underground and overhead utilities, such as sewers, gas, water, telephone and
electric lines, shall be located horizontally within their prescribed areas or
easements. Within assigned areas, these utilities should be staked with an
accuracy producing no more than 0.1 ft tolerance from a specified location.
e. The accuracy required for the vertical location of utilities varies widely. Many
underground utilities require only a minimum cover and a tolerance of 0.1 ft.
should be maintained. Underground and overhead utilities on planned profile,
but not depending on gravity flow for performance, should not exceed 0.1 ft.
tolerance.
B. Surveying instruments shall be kept in close adjustment according to manufacturer’s
specifications or in compliance to standards. The City reserves the right to request a
calibration report at any time and recommends regular maintenance schedule be
performed by a certified technician every 6 months.
1. Field measurements of angles and distances shall be done in such fashion as to
satisfy the closures and tolerances expressed in Part 3.1.A.
2. Vertical locations shall be established from a pre-established benchmark and
checked by closing to a different bench mark on the same datum.
3. Construction survey field work shall correspond to the client’s plans. Irregularities
or conflicts found shall be reported promptly to the City.
4. Revisions, corrections and other pertinent data shall be logged for future reference.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. If I am Business Equity Firm, can I count my performance of the bid?
Answer: A Business Equity Prime Contractor can count its self-performance towards meeting the
Business Equity Goal for the assigned North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
commodity codes on its Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Women Business Enterprise (WBE)
certification.
2. What if I am a Business Equity Firm, but I am unable to self perform all work or provide all of the
goods under the bid, can I count my performance under the Bid?
Answer: If the Business Equity Prime cannot self-perform all of the work, it will be accountable for
subcontracting with certified firms to meet the overall goal. Business Equity Firms that qualify under
the “Significant Business Presence” definition may count in the Program upon approval of DVIN-BE.
3. This bid does not have a set amount that the City will purchase from the Awarded Bidder, how

plan and letter or intent(s), or good faith effort with supporting documentation. For the construction
portion where pricing is not included a preliminary utilization plan or an acknowledgment

utilization plan with letter of intent(s) will be required.
e. Non-compliance. If the lowest bidder for a low bid procurement or any bidder for a Best Value
procurement does not timely submit its Utilization Plan with the required documents, that bidder
will be deemed Non-Responsive. For a low bid procurement, the City will notify the next lowest

Failure to complete this form, in its entirety, and received by the Purchasing Division no later than 2:00 p.m. on the third City business day after bid opening, exclusive of bid opening date,
will result in the bid being considered non-responsive to bid specifications. Exception: CFA, ICA, and CDBG projects, documents will be submitted to the City Project Manager if publicly
bid or to the Developer if privately bid.
The undersigned Prime/Offeror agrees to enter into a formal agreement with the Business Equity firm(s) listed in this utilization schedule, conditioned upon execution of a contract with the
City of Fort Worth (Exception: Developer projects). The intentional and/or knowing misrepresentation of facts is grounds for consideration of disqualification and will result in the bid being
considered non-responsive to bid specifications.
Business Equity firms listed toward meeting the project goal must be located in the City's marketplace at the time of bid or the business has a Significant Business Presence in the
Marketplace. The marketplace is the City of Fort Worth including portions of Denton, Parker, Wise, and all of Tarrant, Dallas, and Johnson counties.
Certified means those Business Equity Firms, located within the Marketplace, that have been determined to be a bona-fide minority or women business enterprise by the
North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency (NCTRCA), Dallas/Fort Worth Minority Supplier Development Council (D/FW MSDC) and Women's Business Council-Southwest
(WBCS).
If hauling services are utilized, the Prime/Offeror will be given credit as long as the Business Equity firm listed owns and operates at least one fully licensed and operational truck to be
used on the contract. The Business Equity firms may lease trucks from another Business Equity firm, including Business Equity owner-operated, and receive full Business Equity
credit. The Business Equity firm may lease trucks from non-Business Equity firms, including owner-operated, but will only receive credit for the fees and commissions earned by the
Business Equity as outlined in the lease agreement.
Federally-funded Projects (ONLY), Counting DBE Participation: If materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer, count 100 percent of the cost of the materials or
supplies towards the goal. If the materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE regular dealer, count 60 percent of the cost of the materials and supplies toward the DBE goal. When
materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE neither a manufacturer nor a regular dealer, count the entire amount of fees or commissions charged for assistance in the
procurement of the materials and supplies or fees or transportation charges for the delivery of the materials or supplies delivered to the job site. In all cases, the Prime/Offeror is
responsible to identify the amounts to be used toward the committed DBE goal. Note: For DBE Goals, 60% of the services count towards the goal.

Please note that only certified Business Equity firms will be counted to meet the Business Equity goal. Prime/Offerors are required to identify ALL subcontractors/suppliers,
regardless of status; i.e., Business Equity firms and non-Business Equity firms. Prime/Offerors must identify by tier level all subcontractors/suppliers. Tier: means the level of
subcontracting below the Prime/Offeror i.e. a direct payment from the Prime/Offeror to a subcontractor is considered 1st tier, a payment by a subcontractor to its supplier is considered
2nd tier. Business Equity firms are to be listed before non-Business Equity firms. The Prime/Offeror is responsible to provide proof of payment of all tiered sub-contractors/suppliers
identified as a Business Equity firm and counting those dollars towards meeting the contract committed goal.
Certified Business Equity Prime/Offeror Contractors counting their self-performance towards meeting the contract goal, must be certified within those NAICS commodity codes with a
certifying agency acceptable by the City of Fort Worth. Certified Business Equity Prime/Offeror counting self-performing services towards the goal, the service(s) to be performed
