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-residenYs principle piace 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. Non resident vendors in (give state), or principal place of business, are not required to underbid resident bidders. B. Our principal place of business or corporate offices are in the State of Texas. ❑ BIDDER: Company By: (please print) "'� Signature: Title: � City State Zip (please print) , THIS FORM MUST BE RETURNED WITH YOUR QUOTATION � , � �J � 'i'1 9601600 Specs_0799_BSD_PartF.doc ■ L.I F-3 ��U��W� U��L J�Q '� � U ll ��Q� I� e�� U'�o 17ClVU'�UW� U151n1. � �.+ EXPERIENCE RECORD List of Projects your Organization has successfully completed: AMOUNT OF CONTRACT TypE OF WORK DATE ACCEPTED AWARD � � � iW � ' � List of Projects your Organization is now engaged in completing: AMOUNT OF CONTRACT TypE OF WORK ANTICIPATED DATE OF NAME AND ADDRESS OF AWARD COMPLETION OWNER List Surety Bonds in force on above incomplete work: DATE OF CONTRACT NpE OF WORK BOND AMOUNT OF BOND AWARD NAME AND ADORESS OF OWNER NAME AND ADDRESS OF SURETY � , 9601600 Specs_0799_BSD PartF.doc F— 4 , � ��6�U1�� ?�C�� ° D �� "11 ��°�[��1� �o UV V':'' u U II O�I�lNo - � EQUIPMENT SCHEDULE � � � � � � List of Equipment owned by Bidder that is in serviceable condition and available for use: Portions of work Bidder proposes to sublet in case of Award of Contract including amount and type: 9601600_Specs_0799_BSD PartF.doc ��G�� '��u�D F - 5 ��,.-�I�V ��USLSIVr�1U,� U I �y�,y4�,r'�M,1�(�`.� L��u V'c' `��; li ,, n, n:o � _ . . .....� , � �,�.� .. � ' � � Blasting Collapse of Building or structures adjacent to excavations Damage to Underground Utilities Builder's Risk Comprehensive Automobile Liability � TO: CITY OF FORT WORTH Date: � NAME OF PROJECT: � PROJECT NUMBER: IS TO CERTIFY THAT : � is, at the date of this certificate, Insured Uy this Company with respect to the business operations hereinafter described, for the type of insurance and accordance with provisions of the standard policies used by this Company, and further liereinafter described.

As you know this project was previously assigned Project Number 199800328. Please include this number in all future correspondence concerning this project. The proposed work is acceptable and is hereby authorized. My staff reviewed the plans for the proposed wor.k in accordance with the provisions of 33 CFR, Section 208.10, pertaining to work in Federally constructed local flood protection projects. We have determined that this proposed work will not adversely affect the operation and maintenance of the Fort Worth Floodway and will comply with the provisions of 33 CFR. My staff also reviewed the project in accordance with Section � 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. Under Section 404, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (uSACE) reguiates the �:iscna-rge o= dredc�`d an� iili � material into waters of the United States, including wetlands. Our responsibility under Section 10 is to regulate any work in, or affecting, navigable waters of the United States. Based on the description of the proposed work and other �"' information available to us, we have determined that this project will not involve activities subject to the requirements of � Section 10. However, this project will involve activities subject to the requirements of Section 404. Therefore, it will require Department of the Army authorization. �" ir t ( i ��B ��G�6 �� c�� US � e U ��o Uly'�iG�i�, ��{o n� � � .� -z- � It appears that this project is authorized by Nationwide Permit 12 for Utility Line Discharges (copy enclosed).

Continued confirmation that an activity complies with the specifications and conditions, � and any changes to the nationwide permit, is the responsibility � of the permittee. �� Our review of this project also addressed its effects on endangered species.
