Miscellaneous Water Lead Service Replacement 2025 project (City Project No. 105560) to effect a portion of Water's contribution to the
Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of a contract with Tejas Commercial Construction, LLC, in
the amount of $1,300,000.00, for the 2025 Water Lead Service Replacement and Water Service Leak Repair Contract, with two optional
renewals.
The work to be performed under this contract consists of replacing water services, repairing water service lines as leaks in the distribution system
are discovered so as to minimize system water loss and respond quickly to customer requests. The contract will augment Water Field Operations
efforts in timely replacement of lead service lines and repairs of service line leaks that are discovered or reported within the water distribution
system.
The bid documents included a stipulation that the total quantities listed may not reflect actual quantities and that the amount budgeted for the
projects is $1,300,000.00. Final payments will be made based on actual measured quantities. The bid documents also included a stipulation
giving the City the option to renew this contract two times under the same terms, conditions and unit prices subject to appropriated funding.
The project was advertised for bid on August 13, 2025 and August 20, 2025 in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram and on September 11, 2025, the

*Inframark, LLC, was determined to be non -responsive to the contract documents due to failure to submit an itemized bid form. Staff recommends
award of the contract to Tejas Commercial Construction, LLC.
Staff has reviewed the proposal unit prices and considers them to be fair and reasonable. In addition to the contract amount, $300,000.00 is
required for project management, material testing and inspection.
It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) plan throughout the Fiscal Year, instead of within
the annual budget ordinance, as projects commence, additional funding needs are identified, and to comply with bond covenants.
Funding is budgeted in the Transfer to Water/Sewer account within the Water & Sewer Capital Projects Fund for the purpose of funding the Misc
Water Lead Sery Repl 2025 project.

SECTION 00 43 37
VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW NON RESIDENT BIDDER
Texas Government Code Chapter 2252 was adopted for the award of contracts to nonresident bidders. This law
provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, nonresident bidders (out-of-state contractors
whose corporate offices or principal place of business are outside 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 nonresident bidder in
order to obtain a comparable contract in the State which the nonresident's principal place of business is located.
The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all nonresident bidders in order for your bid to meet
specifications. The failure of nonresident bidders to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident
bidders must check the box in Section B.
A. Nonresident bidders in the State of , our principal place of business,
are required to be percent lower than resident bidders by State Law. A copy of the
statute is attached.
Nonresident bidders in the State of our principal place of business,
are not required to underbid resident bidders.
B. The principal place of business of our company or our parent company or majority owner is
in the State of Texas. .1

GENERAL CONDITIONS
Page 44 of 63
a. the pre -bid allowances include the cost to Contractor of materials and equipment required
by the allowances to be delivered at the Site, and all applicable taxes; and
b. Contractor's costs for unloading and handling on the Site, labor, installation, overhead,

of City.
D. Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued to reflect actual amounts due
Contractor on account of Work covered by allowances, and the Contract Price shall be

11.03 UnitPrice Work
A. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work,
initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to
the sum of the unit price for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work times the estimated
quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement.
B. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the

actual quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor will be made by
City subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9.05.
C. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by Contractor to be adequate to
cover Contractor's overhead and profit for each separately identified item. Work described in the

but not identified in the listing of unit price items shall be considered incidental to unit price work
listed and the cost of incidental work included as part of the unit price.
D. City may make an adjustment in the Contract Price in accordance with Paragraph 12.01 if-
1. the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs materially and
significantly from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Agreement; and

2. If the changes in quantities or alterations significantly change the character of work, the
Contract will be amended by a Change Order.
3. If no unit prices exist, this will be considered Extra Work and the Contract will be amended
by a Change Order in accordance with Article 12.
4. A significant change in the character of work occurs when:
a. the character of work for any Item as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that
in the Contract or
b. a Major Item of work varies by more than 25% from the original Contract quantity.
5. When the quantity of work to be done under any Major Item of the Contract is more than
125% of the original quantity stated in the Contract, then either party to the Contract may
request an adjustment to the unit price on the portion of the work that is above 125%.
6. When the quantity of work to be done under any Major Item of the Contract is less than 75%
of the original quantity stated in the Contract, then either party to the Contract may request
an adjustment to the unit price.
11.04 Plans Quantity Measurement
A. Plans quantities may or may not represent the exact quantity of work performed or material moved,
handled, or placed during the execution of the Contract. The estimated bid quantities are
designated as final payment quantities, unless revised by the governing Section or this Article.
B. If the quantity measured as outlined under "Price and Payment Procedures" varies by more than
25% (or as stipulated under "Price and Payment Procedures" for specific Items) from the total
estimated quantity for an individual Item originally shown in the Contract Documents, an
adjustment may be made to the quantity of authorized work done for payment purposes. The party
to the Contract requesting the adjustment will provide field measurements and calculations
showing the final quantity for which payment will be made. Payment for revised quantity will be
made at the unit price bid for that Item, except as provided for in Article 10.
C. When quantities are revised by a change in design approved by the City, by Change Order, or to
correct an error, or to correct an error on the plans, the plans quantity will be increased or decreased
by the amount involved in the change, and the 25% variance will apply to the new plans quantity.
D. If the total Contract quantity multiplied by the unit price bid for an individual Item is less than
$250 and the Item is not originally a plans quantity Item, then the Item may be paid as a plans
quantity Item if the City and Contractor agree in writing to fix the final quantity as a plans quantity.

and agreement to a lump sum or unit price is not reached under Paragraph 12.0l.B.2, on the
basis of the Cost of the Work (determined as provided in Paragraph 11.01) plus a Contractor's
fee for overhead and profit (determined as provided in Paragraph 12.01.Q.
C. Contractor's Fee: The Contractor's additional fee for overhead and profit shall be determined as

11.01.13;
d. the amount of credit to be allowed by Contractor to City for any change which results in

in Contractor's fee by an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such net decrease.
12.02 Change of Contract Time
A. The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order.
B. No extension of the Contract Time will be allowed for Extra Work or for claimed delay unless the

delay adversely affects the critical path.
12.03 Delays
A. Where Contractor is reasonably delayed in the performance or completion of any part of the
Work within the Contract Time due to delay beyond the control of Contractor, the Contract Time
may be extended in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay if a Contract Claim is made
therefor. Delays beyond the control of Contractor shall include, but not be limited to, acts or
neglect by City, acts or neglect of utility owners or other contractors performing other work as
contemplated by Article 7, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions, or acts of God.
Such an adjustment shall be Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy for the delays described in

Contractor on or in connection with any other project or anticipated project.
C. Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Time for delays

direct and unavoidable extra cost to the Contractor is caused by the failure of the City to provide
information or material, if any, which is to be furnished by the City.

recommendation of payment or return the Application to Contractor indicating reasons for
refusing payment. In the latter case, Contractor may make the necessary corrections and
resubmit the Application.

b. the quality of the Work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject
to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Final Acceptance, the
results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, a final determination
of quantities and classifications for Work performed under Paragraph 9.05, and any other
qualifications stated in the recommendation).
3. Processing any such payment will not thereby be deemed to have represented that:
a. inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been performed
have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or involved
detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to City
in the Contract Documents; or
b. there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle Contractor
to be paid additionally by City or entitle City to withhold payment to Contractor; or
c. Contractor has complied with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor's performance
of the Work.
4. City may refuse to process the whole or any part of any payment because of subsequently
discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, and revise or revoke
any such payment previously made, to such extent as may be necessary to protect City from
loss because:
a. the Work is defective or completed Work has been damaged by the Contractor or
subcontractors requiring correction or replacement;
b. discrepancies in quantities contained in previous applications for payment;
c. the Contract Price has been reduced by Change Orders;
d. City has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with

15.02 City May Terminate for Cause
A. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events by way of example, but not of limitation,
may justify termination for cause:
1. Contractor's persistent failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents
(including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials
or equipment, failure to adhere to the Project Schedule established under Paragraph 2.07 as
adjusted from time to time pursuant to Paragraph 6.04, or failure to adhere to the City's

3. Contractor's repeated disregard of the authority of City; or
4. Contractor's violation in any substantial way of any provisions of the Contract Documents;
or
5. Contractor's failure to promptly make good any defect in materials or workmanship, or
defects of any nature, the correction of which has been directed in writing by the City; or
6. Substantial indication that the Contractor has made an unauthorized assignment of the
Contract or any funds due therefrom for the benefit of any creditor or for any other purpose;
or
7. Substantial evidence that the Contractor has become insolvent or bankrupt, or otherwise
financially unable to carry on the Work satisfactorily; or
8. Contractor commences legal action in a court of competent jurisdiction against the City.
B. If one or more of the events identified in Paragraph 15.02A. occur, City will provide written notice
to Contractor and Surety to arrange a conference with Contractor and Surety to address
Contractor's failure to perform the Work. Conference shall be held not later than 15 days, after
receipt of notice.
1. If the City, the Contractor, and the Surety do not agree to allow the Contractor to proceed to
perform the construction Contract, the City may, to the extent permitted by Laws and
Regulations, declare a Contractor default and formally terminate the Contractor's right to
complete the Contract. Contractor default shall not be declared earlier than 20 days after the
Contractor and Surety have received notice of conference to address Contractor's failure to
perform the Work.

Work and complete it as described below.
a. If City completes the Work, City may exclude Contractor and Surety from the site and
take possession of the Work, and all materials and equipment incorporated into the Work
stored at the Site or for which City has paid Contractor or Surety but which are stored
elsewhere, and finish the Work as City may deem expedient.
3. Whether City or Surety completes the Work, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any
further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds
all claims, costs, losses and damages sustained by City arising out of or resulting from
completing the Work, such excess will be paid to Contractor. If such claims, costs, losses and
damages exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the difference to City. Such claims,
costs, losses and damages incurred by City will be incorporated in a Change Order, provided
that when exercising any rights or remedies under this Paragraph, City shall not be required to
obtain the lowest price for the Work performed.
4. Neither City, nor any of its respective consultants, agents, officers, directors or employees
shall be in any way liable or accountable to Contractor or Surety for the method by which the
completion of the said Work, or any portion thereof, may be accomplished or for the price paid
therefor.
5. City, notwithstanding the method used in completing the Contract, shall not forfeit the right
to recover damages from Contractor or Surety for Contractor's failure to timely complete the
entire Contract. Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim on account of the method used
by City in completing the Contract.
6. Maintenance of the Work shall continue to be Contractor's and Surety's responsibilities as
provided for in the bond requirements of the Contract Documents or any special guarantees
provided for under the Contract Documents or any other obligations otherwise prescribed by

begins within seven days of receipt of notice of intent to terminate to correct its failure to perform
and proceeds diligently to cure such failure within no more than 30 days of receipt of said notice.
D. Where Contractor's services have been so terminated by City, the termination will not affect any
rights or remedies of City against Contractor then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any
retention or payment of moneys due Contractor by City will not release Contractor from liability.
E. If and to the extent that Contractor has provided a performance bond under the provisions of
Paragraph 5.02, the termination procedures of that bond shall not supersede the provisions of this
Article.

19 of progress and is input to critical decision making by the project manager throughout
20 the life of the project. Data from the updated project schedule is utilized in status
21 reporting to various levels of the City organization and the citizenry.
22
23 This Document complements the City's Standard Agreement to guide the construction
24 contractor (Contractor) in preparing and submitting acceptable schedules for use by the
25 City in project delivery. The expectation is the performance of the work follows the
26 accepted schedule and adhere to the contractual timeline.
27

CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE
Page 2 of 10
1 Each project is represented by City's master project schedule that encompasses the
2 entire scope of activities envisioned by the City to properly deliver the work. When the
3 City contracts with a Contractor to perform construction of the Work, the Contractor
4 will develop and maintain a schedule for their scope of work in alignment with the
5 City's standard schedule requirements as defined herein. The data and information of
6 each such schedule will be leveraged and become integral in the master project
7 schedule as deemed appropriate by the City's Project Control Specialist and approved
8 by the City's Project Manager.
9
10 1. Master Project Schedule
11 The master project schedule is a holistic representation of the scheduled activities
12 and milestones for the total project and be Critical Path Method (CPM) based. The
13 City's Project Manager is accountable for oversight of the development and
14 maintaining a master project schedule for each project. When the City contracts for
15 the design and/or construction of the project, the master project schedule will
16 incorporate elements of the Design and Construction schedules as deemed
17 appropriate by the City's Project Control Specialist. The assigned City Project
18 Control Specialist creates and maintains the master project schedule in P6 (City's
19 scheduling software).
20
21 2. Construction Schedule
22 The Contractor is responsible for developing and maintaining a schedule for the
23 scope of the Contractor's contractual requirements. The Contractor will issue an
24 initial schedule for review and acceptance by the City's Project Control Specialist
25 and the City's Project Manager as a baseline schedule for Contractor's scope of
26 work. Contractor will issue current, accurate updates of their schedule (Progress
27 Schedule) to the City at the end of each month throughout the life of their work.
28 B. Schedule Tiers
29 The City has a portfolio of projects that vary widely in size, complexity and content
30 requiring different scheduling to effectively deliver each project. The City uses a
31 "tiered" approach to align the proper schedule with the criteria for each project. The
32 City's Project Manager determines the appropriate schedule tier for each project, and
33 includes that designation and the associated requirements in the Contractor's scope of
34 work. The following is a summary of the "tiers".
35
36 1. Tier 1: Small Size and Short Duration Project (design not required)
37 The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. No
38 schedule submittal is required from Contractor. City's Project Control Specialist
39 acquires any necessary schedule status data or information through discussions with
40 the respective party on an as -needed basis.
41
42 2. Tier 2: Small Size and Short to Medium Duration Project
43 The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. The
44 Contractor identifies "start" and "finish" milestone dates on key elements of their
45 work as agreed with the City's Project Manager at the kickoff of their work effort.
46 The Contractor issues to the City, updates to the "start" and "finish" dates for such
47 milestones at the end of each month throughout the life of their work on the project.
48
49 3. Tier 3: Medium and Large Size and/or Complex Projects Regardless of Duration

1 The City develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule for the project. The
2 Contractor develops a Baseline Schedule and maintains the schedule of their
3 respective scope of work on the project at a level of detail (generally Level 3) and in
4 alignment with the WBS structure in Section 1.4.H as agreed by the Project
5 Manager. The Contractor issues to the City, updates of their respective schedule
6 (Progress Schedule) at the end of each month throughout the life of their work on the
7 project.
8 C. Schedule Types
9 Project delivery for the City utilizes two types of schedules as noted below. The City
10 develops and maintains a Master Project Schedule as a "baseline" schedule and issue
11 monthly updates to the City Project Manager (end of each month) as a "progress"
12 schedule. The Contractor prepares and submits each schedule type to fulfill their
13 contractual requirements.
14
15 1. Baseline Schedule
16 The Contractor develops and submits to the City, an initial schedule for their scope
17 of work in alignment with this specification. Once reviewed and accepted by the
18 City, it becomes the "Baseline" schedule and is the basis against which all progress
19 is measured. The baseline schedule will be updated when there is a change or
20 addition to the scope of work impacting the duration of the work, and only after
21 receipt of a duly authorized change order issued by the City. In the event progress is
22 significantly behind schedule, the City's Project Manager may authorize an update
23 to the baseline schedule to facilitate a more practical evaluation of progress. An
24 example of a Baseline Schedule is provided in Specification 0132 16.1
25 Construction Project Schedule Baseline Example.
26
27 2. Progress Schedule
28 The Contractor updates their schedule at the end of each month to represent the
29 progress achieved in the work which includes any impact from authorized changes
30 in the work. The updated schedule must accurately reflect the current status of the
31 work at that point in time and is referred to as the "Progress Schedule". The City's
32 Project Manager and Project Control Specialist reviews and accepts each progress
33 schedule. In the event a progress schedule is deemed not acceptable, the
34 unacceptable issues are identified by the City within 5 working days and the
35 Contractor must provide an acceptable progress schedule within 5 working days
36 after receipt of non -acceptance notification. An example of a Progress Schedule is
37 provided in Specification 0132 16.2 Construction Project Schedule Progress
38 Example.
39 D. City Standard Schedule requirements
40 The following is an overview of the methodology for developing and maintaining a
41 schedule for delivery of a project.

1 The City's standard calendar for schedule development purposes is based on a 5-day
2 workweek and accounts for the City's nine standard holidays (New Years, Martin
3 Luther King, Memorial, Juneteenth, Independence, Labor, Thanksgiving, day after
4 Thanksgiving, and Christmas). The Contractor will establish a schedule calendar as
5 part of the schedule development process and provide to the Project Control Specialist
6 as part of the basis for their schedule. Variations between the City's calendar and the
7 Contractor's calendar must be resolved prior to the City's acceptance of their Baseline
8 project schedule.
9
10 H. WBS & Milestone Standards for Schedule Development
11 The scope of work to be accomplished by the Contractor is represented in the schedule
12 in the form of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The WBS is the basis for the
13 development of the schedule activities and shall be imbedded and depicted in the
14 schedule.
15
16 The following is a summary of the standards to be followed in preparing and
17 maintaining a schedule for project delivery.
18
19 1. Contractor is required to utilize the City's WBS structure and respective
20 project type template for "Construction" as shown in Section 1.4.1-1 below.
21 Additional activities may be added to Levels 1 - 4 to accommodate the needs
22 of the organization executing the work. Specifically, the Contractor will add
23 activities under WBS XXXXXX.80.83 "Construction Execution" that
24 delineates the activities associated with the various components of the work.
25
26 2. Contractor is required to adhere to the City's Standard Milestones as shown
27 in Section 1.4.I below. Contractor will include additional milestones
28 representing intermediate deliverables as required to accurately reflect their
29 scope of work.
30
31 I. Schedule Activities
32 Activities are the discrete elements of work that make up the schedule. They will be
33 organized under the umbrella of the WBS. Activity descriptions should adequately
34 describe the activity, and in some cases the extent of the activity. All activities are
35 logically tied with a predecessor and a successor. The only exception to this rule is for
36 "project start" and "project finish" milestones.
37
38 The activity duration is based on the physical amount of work to be performed for the
39 stated activity, with a maximum duration of 20 working days OR a continuous activity
40 in one location. If the work for any one activity exceeds 20 days, break that activity
41 down incrementally to achieve this duration constraint. Any exception to this requires
42 review and acceptance by the City's Project Control Specialist.
43
44 J. Change Orders
45 When a Change Order is issued by the City, the impact is incorporated into the
46 previously accepted baseline schedule as an update, to clearly show impact to the
47 project timeline. The Contractor submits this updated baseline schedule to the City for

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 INSTALLERS
A. Tolerances:
The staked location of any improvement or facility should be as accurate as
practical and necessary. The degree of precision required is dependent on many
factors all of which must remain judgmental. The tolerances listed hereafter are
based on generalities and, under certain circumstances, shall yield to specific
requirements. The surveyor shall assess any situation by review of the overall plans
and through consultation with responsible parties as to the need for specific
tolerances.
a. Earthwork: Grades for earthwork or rough cut should not exceed 0.1 ft. vertical
tolerance. Horizontal alignment for earthwork and rough cut should not exceed
1.0 ft. tolerance.
b. Horizontal alignment on a structure shall be within .0.1 ft tolerance.
c. Paving or concrete for streets, curbs, gutters, parking areas, drives, alleys and
walkways shall be located within the confines of the site boundaries and,
occasionally, along a boundary or any other restrictive line. Away from any
restrictive line, these facilities should be staked with an accuracy producing no
more than 0.05ft. tolerance from their specified locations.
d. Underground and overhead utilities, such as sewers, gas, water, telephone and
electric lines, shall be located horizontally within their prescribed areas or
easements. Within assigned areas, these utilities should be staked with an
accuracy producing no more than 0.1 ft tolerance from a specified location.
e. The accuracy required for the vertical location of utilities varies widely. Many
underground utilities require only a minimum cover and a tolerance of 0.1 ft.
should be maintained. Underground and overhead utilities on planned profile,
but not depending on gravity flow for performance, should not exceed 0.1 ft.
tolerance.
B. Surveying instruments shall be kept in close adjustment according to manufacturer's
specifications or in compliance to standards. The City reserves the right to request a
calibration report at any time and recommends regular maintenance schedule be
performed by a certified technician every 6 months.
1. Field measurements of angles and distances shall be done in such fashion as to
satisfy the closures and tolerances expressed in Part 3.1.A.
2. Vertical locations shall be established from a pre -established benchmark and
checked by closing to a different bench mark on the same datum.
3. Construction survey field work shall correspond to the client's plans. Irregularities
or conflicts found shall be reported promptly to the City.
4. Revisions, corrections and other pertinent data shall be logged for future reference.
