SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
(WATER DEPARTMENT)
1. PRE-OUALIFICATION REOUIREMENT: All contractors submitting bids are required to be
pre-qual�ed by the Forth Worth Water Department prior to submitting bids. This pre-
qualification process will establish a bid limit based on a technical evaluation and financial
analysis of the contractor. It is the bidder's responsibility to submit the following
documentation: a current financial statement, an acceptable experience record, an acceptable
equipment schedule and any other documents the Department may deem necessary, to the
Director of the Water Department at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the date of the
opening of bids.
(a) The financial statement required shall have been prepared by an independent certified
public accountant or an independent public accountant holding a valid permit issued by
n appropriate State licensing agency and shall have been so prepared as to reflect the
financial status of the submitting company. This statement must be current and not
more that one (1} year old. In the case that a bidding date falls within the time a new
statement is being prepared, the previous statement shall be updated by proper
verification.
C1�7
(c)
(d)
(e)
(�
For an experience record to be considered to be acceptable for a given 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 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-pre-qualified bidder shall be returned unopened, and
if inadvertently opened, shall not be considered.
(g) The City will attempt to notify prospective bidders whose qualifications (financial or
experience) are not deemed to be appropriate to the nature and/or magnitude of the
project on which bids are to be received. Failure to notify shall not be a waiver of any
necessary pre-qualification.
2. BID SECUR.ITY: A cashier's check or acceptable bidder's bond payable to the City of Fort
Worth in an amount of not less than five percent (5%) of the largest possible total of the bid
submitted must accompany the bid, and is subject to forfeiture in the event the successful
bidder fails to execute the Contract Documents within (10) days after the contract has been
awarded. To be an acceptable surety o the bond, (1) the name of the surety shall be included on
the current U.S. Treasury, or (2) the surety must have capital and surplus equal to ten times
the limit of the bond. The surety must be licensed to do business in the State of Texas. The
amount of the bond shall not exceed the amount shown on the treasury list or one-tenth (U10)
the total capital and surplus.

pA-1 PIPELINE REHABILITATION CURED-IN-PLACE PIPE (OMITTED]
DA-2 PIPE ENLARGEMENT SYSTEM
A. GENERAL:
1. Description: This specification inciudes requirements to rehabilitate existing sanitary sewers by the pipe
a enlargement system, herein called Pipe Bursting or Pipe Crushing (Pipe Bursting/Crushing). This system includes
splitting or bursting the existing pipe to install a new polyethylene pipe and reconnect existing sewer service
connections.
a 2. Methods: This section specifies the approved system method or process to include all labor, materials, tools,
equipment and incidentals necessary to provide for the complete rehabilitation of deteriorated gravity sewer lines by
the Pipe Bursting/Crushing systems. Approved methods include: the PIM Corporation (PIM System), Piscata Way,
New Jersey; McLat Construction (McConnell System for Pipe Crushing), Houston, Texas; and Trenchless
� Replacement Systems, (TRS System), Calgary, Canada. Refer to Part D- SPECIAL CONDITIONS D-61
SIBSTITUTIONS for information regarding pre-approval procedures for alternative processes.
I�
��l
3. Definition: The Pipe Bursting/Crushing system is defined as the reconstruction of gravity sewer pipe by installing an
approved pipe material, by means of one of the pre-approved methods set forth in Section A.2 of this specification.
The process involves the use of a static, hydraulic or pneumatic hammer "moling" device, suitably sized to break .out
the old pipe or using modified boring "knife" with a flared plug that implodes and crushes the existing sewer pipe.
Forward progress of fhe "mole" or the "knife" may be aided by the use of hydraulic equipment or other apparatus, as
specified in the approved methods. The replacement pipe., is either pulled or pushed into the bore. The method
allows for replacement of pipe sizes from 8" through 21" and/or upsizing in varying increments up to 21". This

contracts to non-resident bidders. The law 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 mount 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
principle 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
