SUBJECT AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO PHOENIX I RESTORATION &
CONSTRUCTION, LTD. FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITION TO FIRE
STATION 17
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a construction contract
with Phoenix I Restoration & Construction, Ltd. for construction of an addition to Fire Station 17 in the
amount of$105,890.00 with a contract duration of 150 calendar days.
DISCUSSION:
Station 17, located at 212 East Felix Street, houses two fire companies, with an engine and a quint,
along with seven firefighters. In addition to the normal fire/rescue/EMS responsibilities, Station 17 is a
satellite support company for the Hazardous Materials Team (HazMat Team). Finally, Station 17 has a
firefighter paramedic assigned to the fire crew serving as medical support for the HazMat Team as per
federal guidelines.
The original station, built in the late 1960s, was not designed to accommodate female firefighters or the
equipment needed for hazardous materials emergency response or paramedic operations. As a result,
the station is extremely cramped and makes for very awkward situations for male and female
firefighters. This expansion will alleviate the office, wardroom, storage and restroom problems.
RPGA Design Group prepared the construction documents.
The project consists of constructing a 315-square foot single story addition to an existing fire station.
The addition is a masonry structure on a structural slab containing a restroom and two offices with its
own central heating air conditioning system.
The project was advertised in the Fort Worth Commercial Recorder February 3 and 10, 2000. On
March 2, 2000, the following bids were received:

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 CONSTRUCTION METHODS:
A. General. It is a primary requirement of this specification to secure a completed course of treated
material containing a uniform lime mixture, free from loose or segregated areas, or uniform density and
moisture content, well bound for its fill depth, and with a smooth surface and suitable for placing
subsequent courses. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to regulate the sequence of this
work, to use the proper amount of lime, maintain the work and rework the courses as necessary to meet
the above requirements.
C
B. Prior to beginning any lime treatment, the pavement subgrade shall be constricted and shaped to
conform to the lines and grades as shown on the plans.
1. Treatment for Materials in Place. Materials to be treated shall be excavated to the secondary grade
(proposed bottom of lime treatment) and removed or windrowed to expose the secondary grade.
Any wet or unstable material below the secondary grade shall be corrected by scarifying, adding
lime and compacting until it is of uniform stability. The excavated material shall then be spread to
the desired cross section. If the Contractor elects to use a cutting or pulverizing machine that shall
remove the subgrade material accurately to the secondary grade and to pulverize the material at the
same time, he shall not be required to expose the secondary grade or windrow the material.
2. However, the Contractor shall be required to proof roll the subgrade before using the pulverizing
machine and correct any soft areas that this rolling may reveal. This method shall be permitted
only where a machine is provided which shall insure that the material is cut uniformly to the
proper depth and which has cutters that shall place the secondary grade to a smooth surface over
the entire width of the cut. The machine shall be of such design that a visible indication is given at
all times that the machine is cutting to the proper depth.
k
C. Application. Lime shall be spread only on that area where the first mixing operation can be completed
in the same working day. The application and mixing of lime with the materials shall be accomplished
by the method hereinafter described as "slurry placing," unless otherwise approved by the Owner's
Representative.
1. Dry Placing. The lime shall be spread by an approved screw type spreader box or by bag
distribution at the rate shown on the plans.
* 2. The lime shall be distributed at a uniform rate and in Such a manner as to reduce scattering of lime
by wind to a minimum. Lime shall not be applied when wind conditions are such that blowing
lime becomes objectionable to traffic or adjacent property owners. A motor grader shall not be
used to spread lime. The material shall be sprinkled until proper moisture content has been
secured.
3. Slurry Placing. Lime shall be mixed with water and applied as a thin water suspension or slurry.
Type B, commercial lime slurry, shall be applied with a lime percentage not less than that
applicable for the grade used. The distribution of lime at the ratio specified shall be attained by
R P G A
D E S I G N G R 0 U P. I N C.
LIME TREATED SUBGRADE 02241 - 4
FIRE STATION #17
successive passes over a measured surthce of roadway until the proper moisture and lime content
has been secured.
D. Mixing. Mixing procedure shall be the same for"dry placing" or"slurry placing" as hereinafter
described.
1. Treatment for Materials in Place. Material and lime shall be thoroughly mixed by approved road
mixers or other approved equipment, until a homogeneous, friable mixture of material and lime is
obtained free from all clods or lumps. Materials containing plastic clay or other materials which
shall not readily mix with lime shall be mixed as thoroughly as possible at the time of the lime
application, brought to the proper moisture content, sealed with a pneumatic roller, and left to cure
1-4 days. During the curing period the material shall be kept at its proper moisture curing point.
2. Final Mixing. After curing, the material shall be uniformly mixed. Clods or lumps shall be
reduced in size by raking, blading, dishing, harrowing, scarifying or other pulverizing method so
that when all non slaking aggregates retained on the No.4 sieve are removed the remainder of the
material shall meet the following requirements when tested by laboratory sieve:
Minimum passing 1-3!4" sieve 100%
Minimum passing No. 4 sieve 60%
E. Compaction. Compaction of the mixture shall begin immediately after final mixing and in no case
later than three calendar days after final mixing. The material shall be aerated or sprinkled as
necessary to provide optimum moisture. Compaction shall begin at the bottom and shall continue until
the entire depth of the mixture is uniformly compacted as shown on the plans or specified by the
Owner's Representative. The compacted mixture shall have a uniform density of not less than 95
percent of the maximum density as determined by ASTM D 698. Moisture content shall be within
minus 2 plus 4 of optimum. After each section is completed, such tests as are necessary shall be made
by the Testing Laboratory. If any portion fails to meet the density specified, it shall be reworked as
necessary to obtain the specified density.
Y
3.2 FINISHING, CURING AND PREPARATION FOR SURFACING:
A. After the mixture has been compacted, the surface shall be shaped to the required line, grades and cross
sections; and then thoroughly rolled sufficiently light to prevent hair cracking. The completed section
shall then be moist-cured for a minimum of seven days before further courses are added or any traffic
permitted, unless otherwise directed by the Owner's Representative in cases where subgrade treatment
or sub-base sets up sufficiently to prevent objectionable damage from traffic, such layers may be
opened to traffic two days after compaction. The surface of the compacted layer shall be kept moist
until covered by other base or paving materials or application of a curing seal of emulsified asphalt. If
a curing seal is used, it should be applied as soon as possible after completion of final rolling, at a rate
of between 0.10 and 0.20 gallons per square yard (.5 and 1.0 liters per MZ), the exact rate to be
determined by the Owner's Representative. No equipment or traffic shall be permitted on lime treated
E material for 72 hours after curing seal is applied, unless otherwise pernlitted by the Owner's
Representative.

contract, in good condition, satisfactory to the owner as to grade, crown and cross-section until such
time as the surface course is constructed. All irregularities or other defects that may occur shall be
immediately repaired by the Contractor at his own expense. Repairs are to be made as directed by the
Owner's Representative in a manner to insure restoration of a uniform surface durability or the portion
repaired.
3.4 DENSITY TESTING:
A. The Testing Laboratory shall make continuous on-site visual inspection of lime placement, mixing,
watering and compaction. In addition, the Testing Laboratory shall establish lime, moisture and
density relationship to stabilize subgrades in accordance with established ASTM procedures and
TxDOT standards. Provide the following tests:

3.5 CONSTRUCTION METHODS:
A. General:
1. The prime coat, tack coat or the asphaltic mixture shall not be placed when the air temperature
is below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (10° C) and is falling: but may be placed wh9n the air
temperature is above 50 degrees Fahrenheit (5°C) and is rising, the temperature being taken in
the shade and away from artificial heat; with the provision that the asphaltic mixture shall be
placed only when the humidity, geiieral weather conditions temperature and moisture
condition of the base, in the opinion of the Owner's Representative, are suitable.
B. Prime Coat:
1. A prime coat shall be applied to the completed base with an approved sprayer, in accordance
with the type and grade of asphaltic material at an application rate between 0.2 and .35 gallons
per square yard as directed by the Owner's Representative.
C. Tack Coat:
1. A tack coat shall be applied when the surface to be paved is portland cement concrete, brick or
asphaltic pavement. When a tack coat is required, it shall consist of an application of the
asphaltic material indicated; and shall be at a rate between 0.05 to 0.10 gallons per square
yard of surface area. The surfaces of curbs, gutters, vertical faces of existing pavements and
R P G A

HOT MIX ASPHALT CONCRETE PAVING 02510- 7
FIRE STATION #17
all strictures in actual contact with asphaltic mixes shall be painted with a thin, complete
coating of asphaltic material to provide a closely bonded, watertight joint.
D. Compacted Thickness of H.M.A.C. Surface Courses and Base Courses:
1. Surface Courses. The compacted thickness or depth of the H.M.A.C. surface course shall be
as shown on the plans. Where the plans require a depth or thickness of the surface course
greater than two inches (5 cm) compacted depth, same shall be placed in multiple courses of
equal depth, each of which shall not exceed two inches (5 cm) compacted depth. If an
additional tack coat is necessary between any of the multiple courses, it shall be applied as
specified above.
2. Base Courses. The compacted thickness or depth of each base course shall be as shown on
the plans. Where the plans require a depth or thickness of the course greater than 4 inches (10
cm), same shall be accomplished by constructing multiple lifts of approximately equal depth,
each of which shall not exceed these maximum compacted depths. If an additional tack coat
is necessary between any of the multiple lifts, it shall be applied as specified above.
E. Transporting H.M.A.C. The asphaltic mixture shall be hauled to the job site in tight vehicles
previously cleaned of all foreign material. The dispatching of vehicles shall be arranged so that
all material delivered shall be placed and all rolling shall be completed during daylight hours. In
cool weather, or for long hours, canvas covers may be required. The inside of the truck body may
be given a light coating of oil, if necessary, to prevent the asphaltic mixture from adhering to the
body.
F. Temperature. The asphaltic mixture shall be at a temperature between 225 and 350 degrees
Fahrenheit (104° - 177 °C) when dumped from the mixer. The shall determine the temperature,
within the above limitations. The mixture when dumped from the mixer shall not vary from this
selected temperature more than 30 degrees Fahrenheit (17°C) plus.
G. Placing. The asphaltic mixture shall be placed on the approved base course with the previously
specified spreading and finishing machine in such manner that, when properly compacted, the
finished course shall comply with the maximum thickness requirements, shall be smooth, of
uniform density and meet the requirements of the typical cross sections and the surface test.
During the placing and spreading of the asphaltic material, care shall be taken to prevent the
spilling of the material onto adjacent onto adjacent pavement, gutters or strictures. In small areas
which are inaccessible to the spreading and finishing machine, hand spreading may be authorized
by the Owner's Representative, provided an acceptable surface can be obtained.
H. Compaction. Rolling with the 3-wheel and tandem rollers shall start longitudinally at the sides
and proceed toward the center of the surface course, overlapping on successive trips by at least
half the width of the rear wheels. Alternate trips of the roller shall be slightly different in length.
Rolling shall continue until no further compression can e obtained and all roller marks are
eliminated. The motion of the rollers shall be slow enough at all times to avoid displacement of
the asphaltic surface material. If displacement should occur, it shall be corrected at once by the
use of rakes and fresh asphaltic mixtures where required. The roller shall not be allowed to stand
on the surface course when it has not been fully compacted and allowed to cool. To prevent
adhesion of the surface course to the roller, the wheels shall be kept thoroughly moistened with
water, but an excess of water shall not be permitted. All rollers must be in good mechanical

condition. All necessary precautions sliall be taken to prevent the dripping of gasoline, oil, grease
or other foreign matter on the surface course while the rollers are in motion or when standing. In
areas where the surface course cannot be compacted with the rollers, hand tamps, lightly oiled,
shall be used to secure the required compaction.
The vibratory steel wheel roller may be substituted for the 3-wheel roller and tandem roller. Each
course, after final compaction, shall have a density of not less than 95 percent of the density
developed in the laboratory test method outlined in TxDOT's Bulletin C-14.
I. Surface Tests. The finished surface of the pavement after compression shall be smooth and true to
the established line, grade and cross section. When tested with a 16-foot (5 M) straightedge placed
parallel to the centerline of the roadway, the finished surface shall have no deviation in excess of
1/16th inch per foot (5 mm per M) from the nearest point of contact. The maximum ordinate
measured from the face of the straightedge shall not exceed 1/4th inch (6 mm) at any point. Any
point in the pavement surface not meeting these requirements shall be immediately corrected.
J. Construction Methods. The pavement surface shall be removed for the length, depth and width
and to the typical section shown on the plans, and to the line and grades established by the
Owner's Representative. The planed surface shall provide a satisfactoryriding surface free from
gouges, continuous longitudinal grooves, ridges, oil film and other imperfections of workmanship
and shall have a uniform textured appearances.
