For an experience record to be considered to be acceptable for a given project, it
must reflect the experience of the iirm seeking qualification in work of both the
same nature and technical level as that of the project for which bids are to be
received.
The Director of the Water Department shall be the sole judge as to the
acceptability for financial qualification to bid on any Fort Worth Water
Department project.
Bids received in excess of the bid limit shall be considered non-responsive and
will be rejected as such.
The City, in its sole discretion, may reject any bid for failure to demonstrate
experience and/or expertise.
Any proposals submitted by a non-prequalified bidder shall be returned
unopened, and if inadvertently opened, shall not be considered.

the City of Fort Worth will not award this contract to a nonresident bidder unless the

bidder by the same amount that a Texas resident bidder would be required to underbid a
nonresident bidder to obtain a comparable contract in the state in which the
nonresident's principal place of business is located.
"Nonresident bidder" means a bidder whose principal place of business is not in the
State of Texas, but excludes a contractor whose ultimate parent company or majority
owner has its principal place of business in the State of Texas.
This provision does not apply if this contract involves federal funds.
The appropriate blanks of the Proposal must be filled out by all nonresident bidders in
order for the bid to meet specifications. The failure of a nonresident contractor to do
so will automatically disqualify that bidder.

the Flood Plain Ordinances of the City of Fort Worth (Ordinance No. 10056). All disposal sites
must be approved by the Administrator to ensure that filling is not occurring within a floodplain
without a permit. A floodplain permit can be issued upon approval of necessary Engineering
studies. No fill permit is required if disposal sites are not in a floodplain. Approval of the
Contractor's disposal sites shall be evidenced by a letter signed by the Administrator stating that
the site is not in a known flood plain or. by a Flood Plain Fill Permit authorizing fill within the flood
plain. Any expenses associated with obtaining the fill permit, including any necessary
Engineering studies, shall be at the Contractor's expense. In the event that the Contractor �
disposes of spoil/fill material at a site without a fill permit or a letter from the administrator
approving the disposal site, upon notification by the Director of Transportation and Public Works,
Contractor shall remove the spoil/fill material at its expense and dispose of such materials in
accordance with the Ordinances of the City and this section.
D-56 PARTIAL ESTIMATES AND RETAINAGE :
Section C8-8.5 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Partial pay estimates shall be submitted by the CONTRACTOR or prepared by the City on the
5th day and 20th day of each month that the work is in progress. The estimate shall be
processed by the City on the 10th day and 25th day respectively. Estimates will be paid within
25 days following the end of the estimate period, less the appropriate retainage as set out below.
Partial pay estimates may include acceptable non-perishable materials delivered to the work
place which are to be incorporated into.the work as a permanent part thereof, but which at the
time of the pay estimate have not been so installed. If such materials are included within a pay
estimate, payment shall be based upon 85% of the net invoice value thereof. The Contractor will
furni'sh the Engineer such information as may be reasonably requested to aid in the verification
or the preparation of the pay estimate.
For contracts less than $400,000 at the time of the execution, retainage shall be 10 percent
(10%). For contracts of $400,000 or more at the time of execution, retainage shall be
five percent (5%).
Contractor shall pay subcontractors in �ccord with the sub-contract agreement within five (5)
business days after receipt by Contractor of the payment by City. Contractor's failure to make
the required payments to subcontractors will authorize the City to withhold future payments from
the Contractor until compliance with this paragraph is accomplished.
It is understood that the partial estimat�s will be approximate only, and all partial pay estimates
and payment of same will be subject to correction in the estimate rendered following the
discovery of the mistake in any previou's estimate. Payment of any partial pay estimate shall not
be an admission on the part of the Own�r of the amount of work done or of its quality or
sufficiency, or as an acceptance of the work done; nor shall same release the Contractor of any
of its responsibilities under the Contract Documents.
The City reserves the right to withhold the payment of any partial estimate if the Contractor fails
to perform the work in strict accordance with the Specifications or other provisions of this
Contract.
