processes.
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 the "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

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
(WATER DEPARTMENT)
1. PRE-QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT: All contractors submitting bids are required to be pre-

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

accountant or an independent public accountant holding a valid permit issued by an 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 than 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.
(b) 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 the bids are to be received.
(c) The Director of the Water Department shall be the sole judge as to the acceptability for qualification to
bid on any Fort Worth Water Department project.
(d) Bids received in excess of the bid limit shall be considered non-responsive and will be rejected as such.
(e) The City, in it's sole discretion, may reject any bid for failure to demonstrate experience and/or
expertise.
(f) 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
y 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 SECURITY: A cashier's check or an acceptable bidders 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

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

bidder would be required to underbid a nonresident bidder to obtain a comparable contract in the state in
which the nonresident's principal place of business is located.
"Nonresident bidder" means a bidder whose principal place of business is not in the State of Texas, but
excludes a contractor whose ultimate parent company or majority owner has its principal place of business
in the State of Texas.
This provision does not apply if this contract involves Federal funds.
The appropriate blanks of the Proposal must be filled out by all nonresident bidders in order for the bid to

(45)calendar days after completion and acceptance by the City.
9. AGE: In accordance with the policy ("Policy") of the Executive branch of the Federal Government,
