VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
i..
�.
�,_
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to the award of
contracts to non-resident bidders. This law provides that, in order to be awarded a
contract as low bidder, non-resident 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 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 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 to meet specifications. The failure of out-of-state or non-resident contractors
to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in
Section B.
A. Non-resident 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.

� date falls within the time a new statement is being prepared, the

� project, it must reflect the experience of the firm seeking qualification in
`� work of both the same nature and technical level as that of the project

for an extension of time of completion shall be considered
only when the request for such extension is submitted in
writing to the Engineer within seven days from and after the
time alleged cause of delay shall have occurred. Should an

will be forwarded to the City Council for approval .
In adjusting the contract time for completion of work,
consideration will be given to unforseeable causes beyond the
control of and wi.thout the fault, or negligence of the
Contractor, including but limited to �acts of the public enemy,
acts of the Owner, fire, flood, tornadoes, epidemics,
quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, or delays
of sub-contractors due to such causes.
When.the date of completion is based on a calendar day bid, a
request for extension of time because of inclement weather
will not be considered. A request for extension'of time due
to inability to obtain supplies and materials will be
considered only when a review of the Contractor's purchase
order dates and other p'ertinent data as requested by the
Engineer indicates that the Contractor has made a bonafide
attempt to secure delivery on schedule. This shall include
efforts to obtain the supplies and materials from alternate
sources in case the first source cannot make delivery.

quantities than those set forth in the approved Contract
Docun�ents, then the contract time may be increased by Change
Order.

compensation is claimed a written statement thereof shall be
presented by the Contractor to the Engineer and if by him
found correct.shall be approved and referred by him to the
Council for fin,al approval or disapproval; and the' action
thereon by the Council shall be final and binding. If delay
is caused by spec.ific orders given. by the Engineers to stop
work, or by the performance of extra work, or by the failure
ot the City to provide material or necessary instructions for
carrying on the work, then such delay will entitle the
Contractor to an equivalent extension of. time, his �application
for which shall, however, be subject to.,the..approval of the
City Council; and no such extension of�time shall release the
Contractor or the surety on his performance bond from all his
obligations hereunder which shall remain in full force until
the discharge of the contract. �

be specified by the City in the Proposal section of the
contract documents. �
The number of days indicated shall be a realistic.estimate of
the time required to complete the work covered by.the specific
contract being bid upon. The amount of time so stated by the
successful bidder or the City will become the time of
completion specified in the Contract Documents.
For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncoinpleted
after the time specified in the Contract Documents, or the
increased time granted by the Owner, or as automatically
increased by additional work or materials ordered after the
contract is signed, the sum per day given in the following
schedule, unless otherwise specified in other parts of the
Contract Documents, will be deducted from monies due the

DISCUSSION:
On March 24, 1998 (M&C C-16686), the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an

inflow/infiltration in sanitary sewer Main 207R drainage area.
The project is part of the City's Integrated Wet Weather Wastewater Management Program to comply
with an administrative order from the US Environmental Protection Agency to eliminate sewer overflows
from the City's wastewater collection system.
The project is generally bound on the north by Interstate Highway 30, on the south by Calmont Avenue,
on the east by Alta Mere Drive, and on the west by Shenandoah Road. The proposed improvements
consist of the replacement of approximately 3,000 linear feet of primarily 8-inch sewer pipe.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 3, Mapsco 73L and M, and 74J.
The project was advertised for bid on April 29 and May 6, 1999. On April 27, 1999, the following bids
