This law provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, on -resident bidders (out-of-state contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of business are outside of the state of Texas) bid projects fcr p 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 non-resident bidder in order to obtain a comparable contract fl in the state in which the non-resident's principal place of business is located. The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all out-of-state or non-resident bidders in order for your bid t meet specifications. Tne failure of out-of-state or non - fl resident resident contractors to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in Section 8. A. Non-resident vendors in (give state), our principal place of a business, are required to be percent lower than resident bidders by state law. A copy of the statute is attached. DNon-resident venders in (give state), our principal place of business, are not required to underbid resident bidders. B.

ROW Utility Section January 28, 1992 C C C C I I I I (A) Description (B) BACKFILL OF UTILITY TRENCHES This specification shall govern backfill of trenches which have been opened for the removal, adjustment, or installation of utility lines within the limits of highway right-of-way or highway construction projects. Type 1 Backfill shall be used in all cases except the following: Type 2 Backfill, when allowed by the permit, agreement, or by the Texas Department of Transportation representative, may be used only in trenches parallel and adjacent to right-of-way lines and in areas where there will be no earth work construction or construction traffic except that this method may be used for placing backfill which will later be removed by highway construction. Types 3 or 4 Backfill may be required for special conditions where the possibility of settlement or erosion of backfill must be eliminated or when, after backfill is started, it becomes apparent that Type 1 Backfill is unsuitable. Type 5 Backfill may be used in special locations where allowed by the permit, agreement, or by the Texas Department of Transportation representative. Type 1 Backfill (Compacted Backfill) Type 1 backfill shall consist of compacted material obtained from suitable soil excavated from the trench, or from sources outside the highway right-of-way. Material shall be free of rock, lumps, or clods that will not break down under compaction. Backfill material shall be placed in the trench in layers not to exceed 6" in depth and compacted. Water shall be added as required to facilitate compaction. Compaction shall be done with rollers or mechanical tamps. Use of rollers will be permitted only when such use is not believed detrimental to any highway facility and the type roller used is acceptable to the Texas Department of Transportation representative. When rollers are employed, mechanical tamps shall be used along sides of trench to compact any backfill that cannot be reached with rollers.
