SPECIAL CONDITIONS REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF ASBESTOS CEMENT PIPE 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. 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 not ification 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 di~posed 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. 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. 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. 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) The removal and disposal of ACP shall be subsidiary to the cost of installing the new pipe unless otherwise stated or indicated on the project plans or contract documents. 0-68 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION (FOR DISTURBED AREAS GREATER THAN 1 ACRE) PERMIT: As defined by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations, a Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) General Construction Permit is required for all construction activities that result in the disturbance of one to five acres (Small Construction Activity) or five or more acres of total land (Large Construction Activity). The contractor is defined as an "operator" by state regulations and is required to obtain a permit. Information concerning the 03/12109 SC-53 PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS permit can be obtained through the Internet at http://www.tnrcc.state .tx .us/permitting/water perm/wwperm/construct.html.

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. Failure to submit the additional information if requested may be grounds for rejecting the apparent low bidder as non-responsive . Affected contractors will be notified in writing of a recommendation to the City Council. 0-71 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 contract. 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 1 O 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 .

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 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 10 inches of mercury shall be drawn, and the vacuum pump will be turned off. With the valve closed, 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.

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.
