VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bi11620 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 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
of 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), or principal place of
business, are required to be per cent lower than a resident bidders by
state law. A copy of the statute is attached.
Non-resident vendors in (give state), or principal place of
business, are not required to under bid resident bidders.
B. Our principal place of business or corporate offices are in the State of Texas.

Manholes shall be tested with all connections in place. Lift holes shall be plugged, and all drop
connections and gas sealing connections shall be installed prior to testing. The sewer lines
entering the manhole shall be plugged and braced to prevent the plugs from being drawn into the
manhole. The plugs shall be installed in the lines beyond the drop-connections, gas sealing

inflated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. A vacuum of ten (10) inches
of inercury (10" Hg) 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. The required test time shall
be determined from the table below:

Acceptance:
The manhole shall be considered acceptable, if the drop in the level of
vacuum is less than one inch �of inercury (1" Hg) after the required test
time. Any manhole which fails to pass the initial test must be repaired
with a suitable material which conforms to the construction material of
the manhole. The manhole shall be retested as described above until it
has successfully passed the test.
Following completion of a successful test, the manhole shall be restored
to its normal condition. All temporary plugs shall be removed and
disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer.
C. Payment: Payment for vacuum testing of sanitary sewer manholes shall be
considered an alternative to hydrostatic or pneumatic testing. The cost of all

SUBJECT AWARD OF CONTRACT TO MCCLENDON CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC. FOR
RECONSTRUCTION OF MARGARET STREET (EL CAMPO TO CALMONT) WITH NEW
ASPHALT PAVEMENT INCLUDING WATER AND SANITARY SEWER ADJUSTMENTS
(CONTRACT 11)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with
McClendon Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $110,605.90 for the reconstruction of
Margaret Street (EI Campo to Calmont) with new asphalt pavement including water and sanitary sewer
adjustments.
DISCUSSION:
The 1998 Capital Improvement Program included funds for the improvement of Margaret Street from EI
Campo to Calmont. The street improvements will include 6-inch lime stabilized subgrade and HMAC
pavement (Alternate No. 2), construction of standard concrete curb and gutter, driveway approaches,
and sidewalks where shown on the plans.
The Water Department has determined that water and/or sanitary sewer lines and sanitary sewer
manholes will be replaced prior to street reconstruction.
This project was advertised for bid September 16 and 23, 1999. The following bids were received
October 14, 1999:
Bidders
McClendon Construction Company, Inc
APAC-Texas, Inc.
Jackson Construction, Inc.
Branch & Sons Contractors
Stabile & Winn, Inc.
J. L. Bertram Construction

$142,176.76
Time of Completion
45 Working Days
Alternate Nos. 1 and 2 were 3-inch HMAC over 8-inch cement stabilized street pulverization and 5-inch
HMAC over 6-inch stabilized subgrade, respectively. Alternate No. 2 is recommended because it will
provide a superior pavement section at a lower cost.
The contingency for possible change orders for street reconstruction is $6,000.00.
McClendon Construction Company, Inc. is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by
committing to 6°/o M/WBE participation and documenting good faith effort. McClendon Construction
Company, Inc. notified several M/WBE's of subcontracting and supplier opportunities, however, the
M/WBE's contacted did not respond or submit the lowest bid. The City's goal on this project is 14%.
