VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to 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 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 too underbid a nonresident bidder in order to
obtain a comparable contract in the State in which the nonresident's principal place of business is located. The
appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all out-of-State or nonresident bidders in order for your bid to
meet specifications. The failure of out-of-State or nonresident contractors to do so will automatically disqualify that
bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in Section B.
A. Nonresident 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.
Nonresident vendors in (give State), our 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.

Installation of Traffic Signals Page 2 of 15
2.1.5 The conduits shall be placed in an open trench at a minimum 24 inches depth
below the curb grade in the sidewalk areas, or 18 inches below the finished
street grade in the street areas.
2.1.6 All conduit that is to be placed under existing pavement, sidewalks, and
driveways, shall be placed by first providing a void through which the PVC
conduit shall be inserted. The use of dry-boring equipment is acceptable. Pits
for boring shall not be closer than 2 feet to the back of the curb or the outside
edge of the shoulder unless otherwise directed by the City. This operation shall
not interfere with the operation of street, highway, or other facility, and shall not
weaken or damage embankment structure, or pavement. The boring operation
shall provide a maximum one inch overcut for the conduit to be placed, and use
of water or other fluids in connection with the boring operation will be permitted
only to the extent to lubricate cuttings.
2.1.7 Backfill for all excavations shall be tamped with mechanical tamps in six-inch (6")
layers to the density of the surrounding ground (95% standard proctor, 0 to +3%
optimum moisture).
2.2 Existing Conduit
2.2.1 Prior to pulling cable in existing underground conduit to be reused in the system,
the conduit shall be cleaned with a mandrel or cylindrical wire brush and blown
out with compressed air. If conduit appears to be blocked, the Contractor shall
make an attempt to clear the conduit by rodding. (The Contractor will not receive
extra compensation for rodding).
2.2.2 Where existing conduit is found to be unusable (conduit has collapsed or the
cable is unable to be pulled from the existing conduit), the Contractor shall, upon
approval by the Engineer, install new rigid metal or PVC conduit.
3.0 CABLE
3.1 General
3.1.1 All cable will be considered subsidiary to the contract with the exception of the
16-conductor cable, 8-conductor cable, 4-conductor cable, #6 triplex cable, and
the loop detector lead-in cable.
3.1.2 The cables shall be installed in the conduit. The conduit must be continuous,
reasonably dry, completely free of debris, and without sharp projections, edges
or short bends. If so required by the Engineer, the Contractor shall demonstrate
that the conduit is dry and free of debris by pulling a swab and/or mandrel
through the conduit. The conductors shall be installed in such a manner and by
such methods so as to insure against harmful stretching of the conductors or
damage to the insulation. Installation methods shall conform to the
Installation of Traffic Signals Page 3 of 15
recommendations of the cable manufacturer. The Contractor shall furnish at
least two copies of the manufacturer's recommendations, which includes:
methods of attaching pull cable, pulling tension per conductor size and per
radius of conduit bend, and the type of lubricant to be used.
3.1.3 All cables in a given conduit run shall be pulled at the same time and the
conductors shall be assembled to form one loop in such a manner that the
pulling tension is distributed to all the cables. Long, hard pulls will necessitate
the use of pulling eyes. For short runs, the cables may be gripped directly by the
conductors by forming them into a loop to which the pull wire or rope can be
attached. The insulation on each conductor shall be removed before the loop is
formed. The method used will depend on the anticipated maximum pulling
tension in each case.
3.1.4 In many instances, existing conduits that contain signal cable are to be used for
the installation of new cables. In such locations, where new cables are to
replace all existing cables, the existing cables may be used to pull in the new
cables. At locations where new cables are to be added to existing cable runs,
the existing cables shall first be pulled out, then replaced, adding the new cables
to the existing cables to form one cable pull. Installation shall be done in such a
way as to prevent damage to the existing and/or new cables. In the event of
damage, the Contractor shall bear the responsibility of material and labor for
replacement of defective cables.
3.1.5 The manufacturer's recommended maximum pulling tensions shall not be
exceeded under any circumstances. If so required by the Engineer, the
Contractor shall insert a dynamometer in the pull wire as the cables are being
pulled into the conduit to demonstrate that the maximum tensions are not being
exceeded. The cable shall be fed freely off the reel into the conduit without
making a reverse curve. At the pulling end, the pull wire and cables shall be
drawn from the conduit in direct line with the conduit. Sheaves or other suitable
devices shall be used as required to reduce any hazards to the cable during
installation. The cables shall be adequately lubricated to reduce friction and
further minimize possible damage. Such lubricants shall not be the grease or oil
type used on lead sheathed cables, but shall be one of several commercially
available wire pulling compounds that are suitable for PVC sheathed cables.
They shall consist of soap, talc, mica, or similar materials and shall be designed
to have no deleterious effect on the cables being used.
3.1.6 The cables shall be neatly trained to their destinations in manholes, cabinets,
pole bases, pull boxes, and all other terminations. The cable manufacturer's
recommended values for the minimum bending radii to which cables may be
bent for permanent training during installation shall be adhered to. These limits
do not apply to conduit bends, sheaves or other curved surfaces around which
these cables may be pulled under tension while being installed. Larger radius
bends are required for such conditions.

to detectors, (3) the power wires, (4) the ground wires, (5) the pedestrian push-
button wires, (6) the Opticom wires, and (7) the coax interconnect wires. At the
controller cabinet, the stranded conductors from the field shall be stripped back
and insulated with solderless lugs crimped to wire. These 'lugs" shall be
inserted under the binder head screw and tightened securely.
3.3.2 All field wiring in cabinets shall be neatly installed. Incoming cables shall be
trained to their destination and neatly laced together. All spare wires shall be
trimmed, and neatly coiled with the ends taped. Detector lead-in cables shall
have their insulation jackets removed from the terminal strip connection
unsheathed to the bottom of the cabinet, and have the ground wires tied together
in the bottom of the cabinet.
3.3.3 Pedestrian push buttons shall have a common ground wire that is completely
isolated and independent from all other ground wires. This wire shall be
connected to the designated terminal in the controller cabinet.
3.4 Signal Head Wiring
3.4.1 Wiring for the signal head shall consist of connecting the pigtail in each signal
section to the common terminal block in each signal face. All conductors running

Splices in pull boxes are prohibited unless specific written permission has been
issued by the Engineer.
3.6.2 Splicing methods shall be in accordance with good electrical practice and the
cable manufacturer's recommendations. All materials used shall be high quality
and specifically intended for these purposes. The cables shall be trained to their
final position and cut to proper lengths. The jacket and insulation shall be
removed as required. In doing this, use proper care to insure against nicking the
conductors. The connector shall be installed tightly and all burrs, rough edges,
etc. shall be removed. If required in the plans or by the City, the connection also
shall be soldered. Heat shall be applied by use of hot solder. Heating the
connection with a direct flame will not be permitted. Care shall be used to
protect the insulation when soldering. The entire surface shall be cleaned taking
special care in cleaning the outside jacket in order to remove the wax finish.
Before the first layer of tape is wrapped, the entire area shall be coated with an
electric grade rubber cement. After this solvent has dried, the connection shall
be insulated with electrical grade rubber splicing compound tape to proper
thickness. This tape requires a pressure and temperature in service to complete
its vulcanizing process and thus be stretched to 2/3 width when applied. The
completed splice shall be covered with a half-lap layer of vinyl plastic electrical
tape. This wrapping shall be smooth but the tape shall not be stretched more
than necessary.
3.7 Enclosed Wiring
3.7.1 All cables and signal conductor wire above the ground surface shall be enclosed
" in approved metal conduit up to, but no closer than one foot to the lowest power
conductor. Power-tap lines carried down poles shall be placed in rigid metal

safe level. The ground rod shall be located so as to minimize the length of the
grounding-conductor run. All grounding circuits shall be substantial and
permanent and shall be electrically continuous with an ohms-to-ground
resistance not to exceed 10 ohms when tested by volt-ohm-meter.
4.2 Grounding Connectors and Electrodes
4.2.1 The grounding conductor shall be a No. 8 AWG solid copper wire. The conductor
shall be bonded to ground rods. Ground rod electrodes shall be solid copper-
bonded steel being at least 5/8 inch in diameter and shall be driven into the
ground to a depth sufficient to provide the required resistance between
electrodes and ground (10 ohms). All ground rods shall be a minimum of six feet
long. When the location precludes driving a single ground rod to a depth of six
feet or when a multiple ground rod matrix is used to obtain the required
resistance to ground, ground rods shall be spaced at least six feet apart and
bonded by a minimum No. 8 AWG copper wire. Connection of grounding circuits
to grounding electrodes shall be by devices, which will ensure a positive, fail-safe
grip between the conductor and the electrode (such as lugs or pressure
connectors). No splice joint will be permitted in the grounding conductor.
5.0 VEHICLE LOOP DETECTORS
