VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to 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 of the State of
Texas) bid projects for construction , improvements , supplies or services i n 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 fa ilure of out-of-state or nonresident contractors to do so w ill 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.

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
RUIDOSA/BANDERA STORM DRAIN
FORT WORTH, TEXAS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
The project consists of an 18 " to 36" storm drain extend ing along Bandera Road from
Ruidosa Trail to Geronimo Trail in Fort Worth, Texas. Invert depths are anticipated to be
about 10' to 12 ' deep.
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 2 sample borings along the proposed
pipeline alignment. The borings were located at the approximate locations shown on the
Plan of Borings (Figure 1a and 1b).
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, -200 sieve analyses ,
moisture content tests, and dry un it weight determinations . Hand penetrometer 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 E10-0108

4.0 SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.1 GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS
The project consists of an 18" to 36" storm drain extending along Bandera Road from
Ruidosa Trail to Geronimo Trail in Fort Worth, Texas . Invert depths are anticipated to be
about 1 O' to 12' deep.
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 undivided Kiamichi and Goodland Formations. The Goodland formation
contains primarily hard limestone and thin clay layers. The Kiamichi formation contains
alternating layers of limestone with thick clay and shale layers and some sandstone .
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 severely weathered
shale layers. In other areas, deep expansive clay with sand seams and occasional
limestone layers are present.
The unweathered rock consists of extremely hard gray limestone. Unweathered rock was
encountered at depths ranging from 8' to 1 O' and is overlain by hard to very hard weathered
limestone and clay layers as indicated on the boring logs.
4.3 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface condit ions 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 E10-0108
PAGE 2
Groundwater seepage should be anticipated with in the overburden soils and within the
fractured weathered limestone and shale layers after ra in events . Construct ion 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 co nditions are
subject to change with variations in climatic conditions and are funct ions of subsurface soil
conditions , rainfall , water levels w ith in nearby creeks and rivers, and leakage of existing
below grade utilities in the vic inity of the proposed alignment. Installation of groundwater
monitoring wells would allow accurate mon itoring of seasonal groundwater levels.
5.0 ANALYSES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 SOIL MOVEMENT
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 swell test
results to estimate the swell potent ial of the soil in their existing moisture condition .
Estimated PVR values for slab-on-grade construction 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 t ime of construct ion , the "active zone " soil
swell PVR would exceed 4+ inches.
5.2 PIPING MOVEMENTS
Due to expansive clay soils at this site , underground piping w ill be subject to differential
upward soil swell movement. Potential upward movement of piping depends upon the invert
depth as measured from the existing ground surface. Piping connections should be
designed in consideration of different ial movement that will occur
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
MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E10-0108
PAGE 3
with on-site clay and crushed rock, compacted in 8-inch lifts at +1 to +4% above optimum to
95% ASTM D698. The on-site rock should be crushed to a maximum rock size of 6 inches.
6.1.1 EXCAVATION CONSIDERATIONS
It is understood that open cut trench excavations will be performed at this site. It is
understood that trench depths will be in the range of 10 to 12 feet deep. Deep excavations
for the valve vault structure is also planned. All below grade excavations would be similar to
trench excavations with respect to safety concerns (per OSHA) during construction of form
work and during backfilling operations.
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 5 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 5. 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.
MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E10-0108
PAGE4
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 6. Note: It should be recognized that
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 will 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.
6.1.6 PAVEMENT PATCHING
To minimize differential settlements of patched 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 pavement patch should be doweled into
the existing pavement appropriately . The new pavement should be placed over a 6 inch
MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E10-0108
PAGE 5
crushed stone base (per TxDOT Item 247, Type A, Grade 1) compacted at optimum to 95%
ASTM D1557.
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. Supervision by the field
technician and the project engineer is required. Some adjustments in the test frequencies
MAS-TEK ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES E10-0108
PAGE 6
may be required based upon the general fill types and soil conditions at the time of fill
placement.
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 i nspection and
construction materials testing who would be pleased to assist you on this project.
