4.1 The City uses the Competitive Sealed Proposals procurement method as authorized by the Texas
Legislature and further defined by Texas Government Code Section 2269. The Maximum Point value is
equal to 100 points. The weight factor is 60 points for Price, 30 points for Contractor Qualifications, and
10 points for Construction Time. The selection criteria used to evaluate each proposal includes the
following:
4.1.1 60 POINTS - PRICE: The quality of Offerors is not judged solely by a low initial cost proposal
or, conversely, eliminated solely because of a high initial cost proposal. The following is the
formula used when determining price as a factor for construction contract proposals. The lowest
proposal price of all the proposals becomes the standard by which all price proposals are
evaluated. One at a time, each proposal is evaluated by taking the lowest proposal price and
dividing it by the price of the proposal being evaluated. That fraction is then multiplied by the
maximum point value of the price factor for the price score. For Example: (Lowest Price/Current
Proposal Price) x Maximum Point Value = Price Score.
4.1.2 30 POINTS - CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATIONS: When evaluating a contractor's
qualifications, the City uses the "Contractor's Statement of Qualifications" attached within, past
experience with the contractor, the "Safety Record Questionnaire", and the Contractor's
Experience Modification Ratio (EMR). The City may also interview the job superintendent at a
time to be named after receipt of proposals.
4.1.3 Five (5) points of the overall points for this criteria are based on the Experience Modification
Ration (EMR) and supporting documentation submitted by the contractor.
4.1.3.1 The lowest EMR of all the proposals becomes the standard by which all the EMRs are
evaluated. One at a time, each proposal is evaluated by taking the lowest EMR and
dividing it by the EMR of the proposal being evaluated. That fraction is then multiplied
by 5 for the EMR score. For example: (Lowest EMR/Current EMR) x 5 = EMR Score
portion of this criteria)
4.1.3.2 Contractors with an EMR greater than 1.0, as well as those Contractors not
submitting EMRs, will receive zero points for this portion of the selection criteria.
4.1.4 For the remaining portion of this criteria, each evaluator assigns points based upon the responses
the contractor provides in the "Contractor's Statement of Qualifications", any past experience
with the contractor, and on safety record information submitted. The City may consider any
incidence involving worker safety or safety of Lubbock residents, be it related or caused by
environmental, mechanical, operational, supervision or any other cause or factor under the
contractor's control. Evaluators base their rating primarily upon how well you document previous
offenses with the date of the offense, location where the offense occurred, type of offense, final
disposition of the offense, and any penalty assessed
4.1.5 The "Contractor's Statement of Qualifications" is a minimum.
4.1.5.1 You may provide additional pertinent information relevant to the project for which you
are submitting this proposal in an appendix.
4.1.6 10 POINTS - CONSTRUCTION TIME: This criterion is, as with price, objective and
evaluators use the following formula when determining construction time as a factor for
construction contract proposals. The lowest construction time proposal of all the proposals
becomes the standard by which all the construction time proposals are evaluated. One at a time,
each proposal is evaluated by taking the lowest construction time and dividing it by the
construction time of the proposal being evaluated. That fraction is then multiplied by the
maximum point value of the construction time factor for the construction time score. For example:
(Lowest construction time/Current Proposal construction time) x Maximum Point Value =
Construction Time Score)
4.1.7 EVALUATION PROCESS: Evaluators independently review and score each proposal. The
Committee meets, to discuss the individual scores of each evaluator. If the individual scores are
similar, the Chairperson may average the scores then rank offerors accordingly. If the scores are
significantly diverse, the Chairperson initiates and moderates discussion to determine the reasons
for the differences and ensures that all evaluators are fully knowledgeable of all aspects of the
proposals. Scores may then be adjusted by the committee based on committee discussion.
4.1.8 Please note that offerors with higher qualifications scores could be ranked higher than offerors
with slightly better price scores.
4.2 The estimated budget for the construction phase of this project is $1,500,000
4.3 Proposals shall be made using the forms provided.

classification as set forth in the schedule of general prevailing rate of per diem wages included in these
contract documents.

The OWNER reserves the right to waive irregularities in determining the firm's qualifications and reserves the right to
require the submission of additional information.
The qualifications of a firm shall not deprive the OWNER of the right to accept a bid, which in its judgement is the
lowest and best bid, to reject any and all bids, to waive irregularities in the bids, or to reject nonconforming, non-
responsive, or conditional bids. In addition, the OWNER reserves the right to reject any bid where circumstances and
developments have in the opinion of the OWNER changed the qualifications or responsibility of the firm.
Material misstatements on the qualifications forms may be grounds for rejection of the firm's bid on this project. Any
such misstatement, if discovered after award of the contract to such firm, may be grounds for immediate termination of
the contract. Additionally, the firm will be liable to the OWNER for any additional costs or damages to the OWNER
resulting from such misstatements, including costs and attorney's fees for collecting such costs and damages.

The City of Lubbock City Council desires to avail itself of the benefits of Section 252.0435 of the Local Government
Code, and consider the safety records of potential contractors prior to awarding proposals on City contracts. Pursuant
to Section 252.0435 of the Local Government Code, City of Lubbock has adopted the following written definition and
criteria for accurately determining the safety record of a proposer prior to awarding proposals on City contracts.
The definition and criteria for determining the safety record of a proposer for this consideration shall be:
The City of Lubbock shall consider the safety record of the offerors in determining the responsibility thereof. The City
may consider any incidence involving worker safety or safety of the citizens of the City of Lubbock, be it related or caused
by environmental, mechanical, operational, supervision or any other cause or factor. Specifically, the City may consider,
among other things:
a. Complaints to, or final orders entered by, the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC),
against the proposer for violations of OSHA regulations within the past three (3) years.

administrative orders, draft orders, final orders, and judicial final judgments.
C. Convictions of a criminal offense within the past ten (10) years, which resulted in bodily harm or death.
d. Any other safety related matter deemed by the City Council to be material in determining the responsibility of
the offeror and his or her ability to perform the services or goods required by the proposal documents in a safe
environment, both for the workers and other employees of offeror and the citizens of the City of Lubbock.

and all risk in connection therewith shall be borne by the Contractor.
The Owner or Owner's Representatives shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of the Contractor, or any

location of the work, the confirmation of the ground, the character, quality and quantity of materials to be
encountered, the character of equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during the prosecution of the work,
and the general and local conditions, and all other matters which in any way affect the work under the contract
documents. No oral agreement or conversation with any officer, agent, or employee of the Owner, or Owner's
Representative either before or after the execution of this contract, shall affect or modify any of the terms or
obligations herein contained. Subject to the rights of Owner as set forth in Paragraph 23 hereof, all modifications

18. CHARACTER OF WORKERS
The Contractor agrees to employ only orderly and competent workers, skillful in the performance in the type of
work required under this contract, to do the work; and agrees that whenever the Owner's Representative shall inform

persons shall be discharged from the work and shall not again be employed on the work without the Owner's

21. OBSERVATION AND TESTING
The Contractor is responsible for construction quality control testing, cost, and reporting of the type and extent
required by the contract documents. The Owner or Owner's Representative shall have the right at all times to
observe and test the work. Contractor shall make necessary arrangements and provide proper facilities and access
for such observation and testing at any location wherever such work is in preparation or progress. Contractor shall
ascertain the scope of any observation that may be contemplated by Owner or Owner's Representative and shall
give ample notice as to the time each part of the work will be ready for such observation. Owner or Owner's
Representative may reject any such work found to be defective or not in accordance with the contract documents,
regardless of the stage of its completion or the time or place of discovery of such errors and regardless of whether
Owner's Representative has previously accepted the work. If any such work should be covered without approval
or consent of the Owner, it must, if requested by Owner or Owner's Representative, be uncovered for examination
at Contractor's expense. In the event that any part of the work is being fabricated or manufactured at a location
where it is not convenient for Owner or Owner's Representative to make observations of such work or require
testing of said work, then in such event Owner or Owner's Representative may require Contractor to furnish Owner
or Owner's Representative certificates of inspection, testing or approval made by persons competent to perform
such tasks at the location where that part of the work is being manufactured or fabricated. All such tests will be in
accordance with the methods prescribed by the American Society for Testing and Materials or such other applicable
organization as may be required by law or the contract documents.
If any such work which is required to be inspected, tested, or approved is covered up without written approval or
consent of the Owner or Owner's Representative, it must, if requested by the Owner or Owner's Representative, be
uncovered for observation and testing at the Contractor's expense. The cost of all such inspections, tests and
approvals shall be borne by the Contractor unless otherwise provided herein. Any work which fails to meet the
requirements of any such tests, inspections or approvals, and any work which meets the requirements of any such
tests or approvals but does not meet the requirements of the contract documents shall be considered defective, and
shall be corrected at the Contractor's expense.
Neither observations by the Owner or Owner's Representative, nor inspections, tests, or approvals made by Owner,
Owner's Representative, or other persons authorized under the contract documents to make such inspections, tests,
or approvals shall relieve the Contractor from its obligation to perform the work in accordance with the requirements
of the contract documents.
22. DEFECTS AND THEIR REMEDIES
It is expressly agreed that if the work or any part thereof, or any material brought on the site of the work for use in
the work or selected for the same, shall be deemed by the Owner or Owner's Representative as unsuitable or not in
conformity with plans, specifications and/or contract documents, the Contractor shall, after receipt of written notice
thereof from the Owner's Representative, forthwith remove such material and rebuild or otherwise remedy such
work so that it shall be in full accordance with the contract documents. It is further agreed that any remedial action
contemplated as hereinabove set forth shall be at Contractor's expense.
23. CHANGES AND ALTERATIONS
The Contractor further agrees that the Owner may make such changes and alterations as the Owner may see fit, in
the line, grade, form dimensions, plans or materials for the work herein contemplated, or any part thereof, either
before or after the beginning of the construction, without affecting the validity of this contract and the accompanying
bond.
If such changes or alterations diminish the quantity of the work to be done, they shall not constitute the basis for a
claim for damages, or anticipated profits on the work that may be dispensed with. If they increase the amount of
work, and the increased work can fairly be classified under the specifications, such increase shall be paid according
to the quantity actually done and at the unit price established for such work under this contract; otherwise such
additional work shall be paid for as provided under Extra Work. In case the Owner shall make such changes or
alterations as shall make useless any work already done or material already furnished or used in said work, then the
Owner shall recompense the Contractor for any material or labor so used, and for actual expenses incurred in
preparation for the work as originally planned.
24. EXTRA WORK
The term "extra work" as used in this contract shall be understood to mean and include all work that may be required
by the Owner or Owner's Representative to be done by the Contractor to accomplish any change, alteration or
addition to the work as shown on the plans and specifications or contract documents and not covered by Contractor's
proposal, except as provided under Changes and Alterations in Paragraph 23.
It is agreed that the Contractor shall perform all extra work under the observation of the Owner's Representative
when presented with a written work order signed by the Owner's Representative; subject, however, to the right of
the Contractor to require written confirmation of such extra work order by the Owner. It is also agreed that the
compensation to be paid to the Contractor for performing said extra work shall be determined by the following
methods:
Method (A) - By agreed unit prices; or
Method (B) - By agreed lump sum; or
Method (C) - If neither Method (A) or Method (B) be agreed upon before the extra work is commenced,
then the Contractor shall be paid the lesser of the following: (1) actual field cost of the
extra work, plus fifteen (15%) percent to the firm actually performing the work, and
additional higher -tier markups limited to 5% to cover additional overhead and insurance
costs; or (2) the amount that would have been charged by a reasonable and prudent
Contractor as a reasonable and necessary cost for performance of the extra work, as
estimated by the Engineer and approved by the Owner..
In the event said extra work be performed and paid for under Method (C)(1), then the provisions of this paragraph
shall apply and the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the cost of all workers, such as foremen,
timekeepers, mechanics and laborers, materials, supplies, teams, trucks, rentals on machinery and equipment, for
the time actually employed or used on such extra work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred,
together with all expenses incurred directly on account of such extra work, including Social Security, Old Age
Benefits, Maintenance Bonds, Public Liability and Property Damage and Workers' Compensation and all other
insurances as may be required by law or ordinances or directed by the Owner or Owner's Representative, or by them
agreed to. Owner's Representative may direct the form in which accounts of the actual field cost shall be kept and
records of these accounts shall be made available to the Owner's Representative. The Owner's Representative may
also specify in writing, before the work commences, the method of doing the work and the type and kind of
machinery and equipment to be used; otherwise, these matters shall be determined by the Contractor. Unless
otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be determined by using 100%,
unless otherwise specified, of the latest Schedule of Equipment and Ownership Expenses adopted by the Associated
General Contractors of America. Where practical, the terms and prices for the use of machinery and equipment
shall be incorporated in the written extra work order. The fifteen percent (15%) of the actual field cost to be paid
to Contractor shall cover and compensate Contractor for its profit, overhead, general superintendence and field
office expense, and all other elements of cost and expense not embraced within the actual field cost as herein
defined, save that where the Contractor's Camp or Field Office must be maintained primarily on account of such
Extra Work, then the cost to maintain and operate the same shall be included in the "actual field cost."
No claim for extra work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered in writing by Owner's Representative. In case
any orders or instructions appear to the Contractor to involve extra work for which Contractor should receive
compensation or an adjustment in the construction time, Contractor shall prior to commencement of such extra
work, make written request to the Owner's Representative for a written order authorizing such extra work. Should
a difference of opinion arise as to what does or does not constitute extra work or as to the payment therefore, and
the Owner's Representative insists upon its performance, the Contractor shall proceed with the work after making
written request for written order and shall keep adequate and accurate account of the actual field cost thereof, as
provided under Method (C) (1). If Contractor does not notify Owner's Representative before the commencement
of any extra work, any claim for payment due to alleged extra work shall be deemed waived.
25. DISCREPANCIES AND OMISSIONS
It is further agreed that it is the intent of the contract documents that all work described in the proposal, the
specifications, plans and other contract documents, is to be done for the prices quoted by the Contractor and that
such price shall include all appurtenances necessary to complete the work in accordance with the intent of these
contract documents as interpreted by Owner's Representative. Notices of any discrepancies or omissions in these
plans, specifications, or contract documents, shall be given to the Owners' Representative and a clarification
obtained before the proposals are received, and if no such notice is received by the Owner's Representative
prior to the opening of proposals, then it shall be deemed that the Contractor fully understands the work to
be included and has provided sufficient sums in its proposal to complete the work in accordance with these
plans and specifications. If Contractor does not notify Owner's Representative before offering of any
discrepancies or omissions, then it shall be deemed for all purposes that the plans and specifications are
sufficient and adequate for completion of the project. It is further agreed that any request for clarification
must be submitted no later than five (5) calendar days prior to the opening of proposals. In the absence of a
requested clarification for a conflict in the documents prior to proposals being reviewed, it will be assumed
that the Contractor proposes the higher cost alternative on conflicts identified after proposals are reviewed.
26. RIGHT OF OWNER TO MODIFY METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
If at any time the methods or equipment used by the Contractor are found to be inadequate to secure the quality of
work with the rate of progress required under this contract, the Owner or Owner's Representative may order the
Contractor in writing to increase their safety or improve their character and efficiency and the Contractor shall
comply with such order. If, at any time, the working force of the Contractor is inadequate for securing the progress
herein specified, the Contractor shall, if so ordered in writing, increase its force or equipment, or both, to such an
extent as to give reasonable assurance of compliance with the schedule of progress.

of, the Contractor's or any subcontractor's, agent's or employee's, in any manner whatsoever, omission, execution
and/or supervision of this contract, and the project which is the subject matter of this contract.
The safety precautions taken shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor, in its sole discretion as an Independent
Contractor; inclusion of this paragraph in the Agreement, as well as any notice which may be given by the Owners
or the Owner's Representative concerning omissions under this paragraph as the work progresses, are intended as
reminders to the Contractor of its duty and shall not be construed as any assumption of duty to supervise safety
precautions by either the Contractor or any of its subcontractors.

compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment.
30. PROTECTION AGAINST CLAIMS OF SUBCONTRACTORS, LABORERS, MATERIALMEN, AND
FURNISHERS OF MACHINERY, EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES
Without limiting, in any way, manner or form, the indemnity provided by Contractor in paragraph 27 hereof, the
Contractor agrees that it will indemnify and save the Owner and Engineer and all of its officers, agents and

out of, in any way, manner or form, the demands of subcontractors, laborers, workmen, mechanics, material men
and furnishers of machinery and parts thereof, equipment, power tools, and supplies, incurred in the performance
of this contract and the project which is the subject matter of this contract. When Owner so desires, the Contractor
shall furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the nature hereinabove designated have been paid,
discharged or waived.
31. PROTECTION AGAINST ROYALTIES OR PATENT INVENTION
The Contractor shall pay all royalties and license fees, and shall provide for the use of any design, device, material
or process covered by letters patent or copyright by suitable legal agreement with the Patentee or owner thereof.
Without limiting, in any way, manner or form, the indemnity provided by Contractor in paragraph 27 hereof, the
Contractor shall defend all suits or claims for infringement of any patent or copyrights and shall indemnify and save
the Owner and Engineer, and all of its officers, agents and employees harmless from any loss on account thereof,
except that Owner shall defend all such suits and claims and shall be responsible for all such loss when a particular
design, device, material or process or the product of a particular manufacturer or manufacturers is specified or
required in these contract documents by Owner; provided, however, if choice of alternate design, device, material
or process is allowed to the Contractor, then Contractor shall indemnify and save Owner, and all of its officers,
agents and employees harmless from any loss on account thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if the material or process specified or required by Owner and/or this contract is an infringement, the Contractor
shall be responsible for such loss unless it gives written notice of such infringement to the Owner's Representative
prior to offering.
32. LAWS AND ORDINANCES
The Contractor shall at all times observe and comply with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and
regulations, which in any manner affect the contract or the work, and without limiting, in any way, manner or form,
the indemnity provided by Contractor in paragraph 27 hereof, Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless the
Owner and Engineer and all of its officers, agents, and employees against any claims arising from the violation of
any such laws, ordinances, and regulations, whether by the Contractor, its employees, or subcontractors. If the
Contractor observes that the plans and specifications are at variance therewith, he shall notify the Owner's
Representative in writing prior to proposing and any necessary changes shall be adjusted as provided in the contract
for changes in the work. In the absence of timely written notification to Owner's Representative of such variance
or variances within said time, any objection and/or assertion that the plans and specifications are at variance with
any federal, state or local laws, ordinances or regulations shall be deemed waived. If the Contractor, its employees
or subcontractors perform any work contrary to such laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and without such
notice to the Owner's Representative, Contractor shall bear all costs arising there from.
The Owner is a municipal corporation of the State of Texas and the law from which it derives its powers, insofar as
the same regulates the objects for which, or the manner in which, or the conditions under which the Owner may
enter into contracts, shall be controlling, and shall be considered as part of this contract to the same effect as though
embodied herein.
33. SUBCONTRACTING
The Contractor agrees that it will retain personal control and will give its personal attention to the fulfillment of this
contract. The Contractor further agrees that subletting of any portion or feature of the work, or materials required
in the performance of this contract, shall not relieve the Contractor from its full obligations to the Owner, as
provided by the contract documents.
34. TIME FOR SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
It is hereby understood and mutually agreed by and between the Contractor and the Owner, that the date of beginning
and time for completion as specified in the Notice to Proceed and contract documents, respectively, of work to be
done hereunder are essential conditions of this contract; and it is further mutually understood and agreed that the
work embraced in this contract shall be commenced as provided in the contract documents.
If the Contractor should neglect, fail, or refuse to substantially complete the work within the time herein specified,
then the Contractor does hereby agree as part of the consideration for the awarding of this contract, the Owner may
withhold permanently from Contractor's total compensation, the sum of $300 PER CONSECUTIVE
CALENDAR DAY, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages for the breach of the contract as herein set forth
for each and every working day that the Contractor shall be in default after the time stipulated for substantially
completing the work.
If the Contractor should neglect, fail, or refuse to Finally complete the work within the time herein specified, then
the Contractor does hereby agree as part of the consideration for the awarding of this contract, the Owner may
withhold permanently from Contractor's total compensation, the sum of $100 PER CONSECUTIVE
CALENDAR DAY, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages for the breach of the contract as herein set forth
for each and every working day that the Contractor shall fail to meet the time requirements stipulated for
substantially completing the work.
It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between Contractor and the Owner, that the time for the substantial
completion of the work described herein is reasonable time for the completion of the same, taking into consideration
the average climatic range and conditions and usual industrial conditions prevailing in this locality. The amount is
fixed and agreed upon by and between the Contractor and the Owner because the actual damages the Owner would
sustain in such event would be difficult and/or impossible to estimate, however, the amount agreed upon herein is
a reasonable forecast of the amount necessary to render just compensation to Owner, and is expressly agreed to be
not disproportionate to actual damages as measured at time of breach.
IT IS FURTHER AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD BETWEEN THE CONTRACTOR AND OWNER THAT
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS CONTRACT.
35. TIME AND ORDER OF COMPLETION
It is the meaning and intent of this contract, unless otherwise herein specifically provided, that the Contractor shall
be allowed to prosecute its work in such order of precedence, and in such manner as shall be most conductive to
economy of construction. The Contractor shall ensure daily prosecution of the work is conducted every business
day until completed, regardless if the work will be substantially or finally complete ahead of specified deadlines in
the agreement, unless the City determines time off from said prosecution is necessary or reasonable and Contractor
received said determination in writing from the City. Further, when the Owner is having other work done, either by
contract or by its own force, the Owner's Representative (as distinguished from the Resident Project Representative)
may direct the time and manner of constructing work done under this contract so that conflicts will be avoided and
the construction of the various works being done for the Owner shall be harmonized. Additionally, inclement
weather shall be the only other reason consistent, daily prosecution of the work may not take place on those
inclement weather days.
The Contractor shall submit, at such times as may reasonably be requested by the Owner's Representative, schedules
which shall show the order in which the Contractor intends to carry on the work, with dates at which the Contractor
will start the several parts of the work and estimated dates of completion of the several parts.
36. TIME OF PERFORMANCE
The Contractor agrees that it has submitted its proposal in full recognition of the time required for the completion
of this project, taking into consideration the average climatic range and industrial conditions prevailing in this
locality, and has considered the liquidated damage provisions of paragraph 34 hereinabove set forth and expressly
agrees that it shall not be entitled to, nor will it request, an extension of time on this contract, except when its work
has been delayed by an act or neglect of the Owner, Owner's Representative, employees of the Owner or other
contractors employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the work, or by strike, walkouts, acts of God or the
public enemy, fire or flood. Any request for extension shall be in writing with the written request for same setting
forth all justifications, in detail, for the request, and submitted to Owner's Representative within twenty (20)
calendar days of the occurrence of the event causing said delay. A failure by Owner's Representative to
affirmatively grant the extension no later than within twenty (20) calendar days of written submission by Contractor
shall be deemed a denial, and final. Further, in the absence of timely written notification of such delay and request
for extension, as provided herein, any request for extension by Contractor shall be deemed waived.
37. HINDRANCE AND DELAYS
In executing the contract, the Contractor agrees that in undertaking to complete the work within the time herein
fixed, Contractor has taken into consideration and made allowances for all hindrances and delays incident to such
work, whether growing out of delays due to unusual and unanticipated circumstances, difficulties or delays in
securing material or workers, or any other cause or occurrence. No charge shall be made by the Contractor for
hindrance or delays from any cause during the progress of any part of the work embraced in this contract except
where the work is stopped by order of the Owner or Owner's Representative for the Owner's convenience, in which
event, such expense as in the sole judgment of the Owner's Representative that is caused by such stoppage shall be
paid by Owner to Contractor.
38. QUANTITIES AND MEASUREMENTS
No extra or customary measurements of any kind will be allowed, but the actual measured or computed length,
area, solid contents, number and weight only shall be considered, unless otherwise specifically provided. In the
event this contract is let on a unit price basis, then Owner and Contractor agree that this contract, including the
specifications, plans and other contract documents are intended to show clearly all work to be done and material to
be furnished hereunder. Where the estimated quantities are shown, and only when same are expressly stated to be
estimates, for the various classes of work to be done and material to be furnished under this contract, they are
approximate and are to be used only as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the work and for comparing their
proposals offered for the work. In the event the amount of work to be done and materials to be furnished are
expressly stated to be estimated, and only when same are expressly stated to be estimated, it is understood and
agreed that the actual amount of work to be done and the materials to be furnished under this contract may differ
somewhat from these estimates, and that where the basis for payment under this contract is the unit price method,
payment shall be for the actual amount of work done and materials furnished on the project, provided that the over
run or under run of estimated quantities not exceed 15% of the estimated quantity.
39. PROTECTION OF ADJOINING PROPERTY
The Contractor shall take proper means to protect the adjacent or adjoining property or properties in any way
encountered, which may be injured or seriously affected by any process of construction to be undertaken under this
agreement, from any damage or injury by reason of said process of construction; and Contractor shall be liable for
any and all claims for such damage on account of his failure to fully protect all adjacent property. Without limiting,
in any way, manner and form, the indemnity provided by Contractor in paragraph 27 hereof, the Contractor agrees
to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Owner and Engineer, and any of its officers, agents and employees, against
any and all claims or damages due to any injury to any adjacent or adjoining property, related to, arising from or
growing out of the performance of this contract.
40. PRICE FOR WORK
In consideration of the furnishing of all necessary labor, equipment and material and the completion of all work by
the Contractor, and on the delivery of all materials embraced in this contract in full conformity with the
specifications and stipulations herein contained, the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor the price set forth in the
proposal attached hereto, which has been made a part of this contract, and the Contractor hereby agrees to receive
such price in full for furnishing all materials and all labor required for the aforesaid work, also, for all expenses
incurred by Contractor and for well and truly performing the same and the whole thereof in the manner and
according to this agreement, the attached specifications, plans, contract documents and requirements of Owner's
Representative.
41. PAYMENTS
No payments made or certificates given shall be considered as conclusive evidence of the performance of the
contract, either wholly or in part, nor shall any certificate or payment be considered as acceptance of defective work.
Contractor shall at any time requested during the progress of the work furnish the Owner or Owner's Representative
with a verifying certificate showing the Contractor's total outstanding indebtedness in connection with the work.
Before final payment is made, Contractor shall satisfy Owner, by affidavit or otherwise, that there are no outstanding
liens against Owner's premises by reason of any work under the contract. Acceptance by Contractor of final
payment of the contract price shall constitute a waiver of all claims against Owner, Owner's agents and employees,
which have not theretofore been timely filed as provided in this contract.
42. PARTIAL PAYMENTS
On or before the tenth day of each month, the Contractor shall submit to Owner's Representative an
application for partial payment or, if the Contractor does not submit such application, the Owner's
Representative shall determine the amount to be partially paid. Owner's Representative shall review said
application for partial payment if submitted, and the progress of the work made by the Contractor and if
found to be in order, shall prepare a certificate for partial payment showing as completely as practical the
total value of the work done by the Contractor up to and including the last day of the preceding month.
The determination of the partial payment by the Owner's Representative shall be in accordance with
Paragraph 14 hereof.
The Owner shall then pay the Contractor on or before the fifteenth day of the current month the total
amount of the Owner's Representative's Certificate of Partial Payment, less:
(i) in the event the total value of the contract is five million dollars or more, 5% of the amount thereof,
which 5% shall be retained until final payment, and further, less all previous payments and all
further sums that may be retained by Owner under the terms of the contract documents; or
(ii) in the event the total value of the contract is less than five million dollars, 10% or less, of the amount
thereof, which percentage shall be retained until final payment, and further, less all previous
payments and all further sums may be retained by Owner under the terms of the contract documents
("Retainage").
If Contractor engages a sub -contractor to perform all or part of Contractor's work under the contract, the
Contractor shall not withhold a greater percentage of Retainage than the percentage set out in in this
section pertaining to the Contractor. Contractor shall likewise require any subcontractor it engages to
comply with section 2252.032 of the Texas Government Code.
Any partial payment made hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by the Owner of any and all other rights
to enforce the express terms of the contract documents, and all remedies provided therein, as to any and
all work performed, to be performed and/or materials delivered hereunder, including, but limited to, work
to which said partial payment is attributable.
43. SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
Contractor shall give Owner's Representative written notice of substantial completion. Within fifteen
(15) calendar days after the Contractor has given the Owner's Representative written notice that the work
has been substantially completed, the Owner's Representative and/or the Owner shall inspect the work and
within said time, if the work be found to be substantially completed in accordance with the contract
documents, the Owner's Representative shall issue to the Owner and Contractor a certificate of substantial
completion. The work will be deemed substantially complete when the work (or a specified portion
thereof) has progressed to the point where, in the opinion of the Owner or Owner's Representative, the
work (or a specified portion thereof) is sufficiently complete, in accordance with all the contract
documents, including the Proposal and all applicable technical specifications, so that the work (or a
specified portion thereof) can be utilized for the purposes for which it is intended without unscheduled
disruption. Owner may, in its sole discretion, release all or a portion of the Retainage upon Owner's
receipt of the certificate of substantial completion for all of the work or a specified portion thereof.
Notwithstanding the issuance of a certificate of substantial completion, Contractor shall proceed with
diligence to finally complete the work within the time provided in this contract.
44. FINAL COMPLETION AND PAYMENT
The Contractor shall give written notice to Owner's Representative of final completion. Upon written
notice of final completion, the Owner's Representative shall proceed to make final measurement to
determine whether final completion has occurred. If the Owner's Representative determines final
completion has occurred, Owner's Representative shall so certify to the Owner. Upon certification by
Owner's Representative of final completion, Owner shall pay to the Contractor on or before the 31 st
working day after the date of certification of final completion, the balance due Contractor under the terms
of this agreement. Neither the certification of final completion nor the final payment, nor any provisions
in the contract documents shall relieve the Contractor of the obligation for fulfillment of any warranty
which may be required in the contract documents and/or any warranty or warranties implied by law or
otherwise. Owner may, in its sole discretion, release all or a portion of the Retainage for fully completed
and accepted portions of the work.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner may withhold the Retainage if there is a bona fide dispute between
Owner and Contractor according to section 2252.032(f) of the Texas Government Code.
45. CORRECTION OF WORK
Contractor shall promptly remove from Owner's premises all materials condemned by the Owner's Representative
on account of failure to conform to the contract documents, whether actually incorporated in the work or not, and
Contractor shall at its own expense promptly replace such condemned materials with other materials conforming to
the requirements of the contract documents. Contractor shall also bear the expense of restoring all work of other
contractors damaged by any such removal or replacement. If Contractor does not remove and replace any such
condemned work within a reasonable time but not to exceed 30 days after a written notice by the Owner or the
Owner's Representative, Owner may remove and replace it at Contractor's expense. The Contractor shall pay all
claims, cost, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of the engineers, architects,
attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution cost) arising out of or
relating to such correction or removal.
Neither the final payment, nor certification of final completion or substantial completion, nor any provision in the
contract documents shall relieve the Contractor of responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship, and
Contractor shall remedy any defects due thereto and pay for any damage to other work resulting therefrom, which
shall appear within a period of one year from the date of certification of final completion by Owner's Representative.
46. PAYMENT WITHHELD
The Owner or Owner's Representative may, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold or nullify
the whole or part of any certification to such extent as may be necessary to protect itself from loss on account of:
(a) Defective work not remedied and/or work not performed,
(b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating possible filing of claims,
(c) Damage to another contractor,
(d) Notification to owner of failure to make payments to Subcontractors or Suppliers,
(e) Failure to submit up-to-date record documents as required,
(f) Failure to submit monthly progress schedule updates or revised scheduled as requested by Owner,
(g) Failure to provide Project photographs required by Specifications.
When the above grounds are removed, or the Contractor provides a surety bond satisfactory to the Owner, in the
amount withheld, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of them.
47. CLAIM OR DISPUTE
It is further agreed by both parties hereto that all questions of dispute or adjustment presented by the Contractor
shall be in writing and filed with the Owner's Representative within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Owner's
Representative has given any direction, order or instruction to which the Contractor desires to take exception.
Timely written notice of dispute as provided in this contract of any decision by Owner's Representative or Owner
shall be a condition precedent to the bringing and/or assertion of any action or claim by Contractor of any right
under this Contract. If the matters set forth in the notice of dispute are not granted or otherwise responded to by
Owner's Representative within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of notice of dispute by Owner's Representative,
said objections shall be deemed denied. Any decision by the Owner's Representative, or deemed denial by the
Owner's Representative, shall be final and conclusive in the absence of fraud. It is further agreed that the acceptance
by the Contractor of the final payment shall be a bar to any and all claims of the Contractor, and constitute a waiver
of the right to assert any claim against Owner, Owner's agents and employees and Owner's Representative, by
Contractor.
48. NON-COMPLIANCE AND/OR ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR
In case the Contractor should (1) abandon and fail or refuse to resume work within fifteen (15) calendar days after
written notification from the Owner or the Owner's Representative, or (2) if the Contractor fails to comply with the
written orders of the Owner's Representative, when such orders are consistent with this contract, then the Surety on
the bond shall be notified in writing and directed to complete the work and a copy of said notice shall be delivered
to the Contractor. In the event a bond is not required by law, or otherwise obtained by the Contractor, no further
notice of such non-compliance to Contractor shall be required.
After receiving said notice of abandonment or non-compliance , the Contractor shall not remove from the work any
machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies then on the job, but the same, together with any materials and
equipment under the contract for work, may be held for use on the work by the Owner or the Surety of the
Contractor, or another contractor, in completion of the work; and the Contractor shall not receive any rental or credit
therefore (except when used in connection with Extra Work, where credit shall be allowed as provided for under
paragraph 24 of this contract); it being understood that the use of such equipment and materials will ultimately
reduce the cost to complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement.
In the event the Contractor, or Surety, whichever is applicable, should fail to commence compliance with the notice
hereinbefore provided within ten (10) calendar days after service of such notice, and/or shall fail to proceed with
diligence to complete the project as contemplated and in compliance with all terms and provisions of the contract
documents, then the Owner may exercise any and all remedies available to it pursuant to law, contract, equity or
otherwise, including, but not limited to, providing for completion of the work in either of the following elective
manners:
(a) The Owner may employ such force of persons and use of machinery, equipment, tools, materials and
supplies as said Owner may deem necessary to complete the work and charge the expense of such labor,
machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies to said Contractor, and the expense so charged shall be
deducted and paid by the Owner out of such moneys as may be due, or that may thereafter at any time
become due to the Contractor under and by virtue of this Agreement. In case such expense is less than the
sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been completed by the Contractor,
then said Contractor shall receive the difference. In case such expense is greater than the sum which would
have been payable under this contract, if the same had been completed by said Contractor, then the
Contractor and/or its Surety shall pay the amount of such excess to the Owner; or
(b) The Owner, under sealed proposals, after notice published as required by law, at least twice in a newspaper
having a general circulation in the County of location of the work, may let the contract for the completion
of the work under substantially the same terms and conditions which are provided in this contract. In case
of any increase in cost to the Owner under the new contract as compared to what would have been the cost
under this contract, such increase shall be charged to the Contractor and the Surety shall be and remain
bound therefore. Should the cost to complete any such new contract prove to be less than that which would
have been the cost to complete the work under this contract, the Contractor or his Surety shall be credited
therewith.
In the event the Owner's Representative elects to complete the work, as described above, when the work shall have
been finally completed, the Contractor and his Surety shall be so notified and certification of completion as provided
in paragraph 44 hereinbbove set forth, shall be issued. A complete itemized statement of the contract accounts,
certified to by Owner's Representative as being correct shall then be prepared and delivered to Contractor and his
Surety, if applicable, whereon the Contractor or his Surety, or the Owner as the case may be, shall pay the balance
due as reflected by said statement within 30 days after the date of certification of completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work is less than that which would have
been the cost to the Owner had the work been completed by the Contractor under the terms of this contract, or when
the Contractor and/or his Surety, if applicable, shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the Owner, then
all machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies left on the site of the work shall be turned over to the
Contractor and/or his Surety, if applicable. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract price, and the
Contractor and/or his Surety, if applicable, fail to pay the amount due the Owner within the time designated
hereinabove, and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies on the site of the work,
notice thereof, together with an itemized list of such equipment and materials shall be mailed to the Contractor and
his Surety, if applicable, at the respective addresses designated in this contract; provided, however, that actual
written notice given in any manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing, or other giving of such notice, such
property shall be held at the risk of the Contractor and his Surety, if applicable, subject only to the duty of the Owner
to exercise ordinary care to protect such property. After fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of said notice the
Owner may sell such machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies and apply the net sum derived from such
sale to the credit of the Contractor and his Surety, if applicable. Such sale may be made at either public or private
sale, with or without notice, as the Owner may elect. The Owner shall release any machinery, equipment, tools,
materials, or supplies that remain on the jobsite and belong to persons other than the Contractor or his Surety, if
applicable, to their proper owners.
The remedies provided to Owner by law, equity, contract, or otherwise, shall be cumulative, to the extent permitted
by law. It is expressly agreed and understood that the exercise by Owner of the remedies provided in this paragraph
shall not constitute an election of remedies on the part of Owner, and Owner, irrespective of its exercise of remedies
hereunder, shall be entitled to exercise concurrently or otherwise, any and all other remedies available to it, by law,
equity, contract or otherwise, including but not limited to, liquidated damages, as provided in paragraph 34,
hereinabove set forth.
49. LIMITATION ON CONTRACTOR'S REMEDY
The remedies of Contractor hereunder shall be limited to, and Owner shall be liable only for, work actually
performed by Contractor and/or its subcontractors as set forth in the contract documents, and Owner shall not be
liable for any consequential, punitive or indirect loss or damage that Contractor may suffer in connection with the
project which is the subject matter of this contract.
50. BONDS
The Contractor is required to furnish a performance bond in accordance with Chapter 2253, Government Code, in
the amount of 100% of the total contract price in the event that said contract price exceeds $100,000 and the
Contractor is required to furnish a payment bond in accordance with Chapter 2253, Government Code, in the amount
of 100% of the total contract price in the event that said contract price exceeds $50,000. All bonds shall be submitted
on forms supplied by the Owner, and executed by a Surety Company listed on the State Treasury's "Approved" list
and authorized to do business in the State of Texas. It is further agreed that this contract shall not be in effect until
such bonds are so furnished.
51. SPECIAL CONDITIONS
In the event special conditions are contained herein as part of the contract documents and said special conditions
conflict with any of the general conditions contained in this contract, then in such event the special conditions shall
control.
52. LOSS OR EXPENSE DUE TO UNUSUAL OR UNANTICIPATED CIRCUMSTANCES
Unless otherwise specified herein, all loss, expense or damage to the Contractor arising out of the nature of the
work to be done, or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen circumstance or from unusual
obstructions or difficulties, naturally occurring, man made or otherwise, which may be encountered in the
prosecution of the work, shall be sustained and borne by the Contractor at his own cost and expense.
53. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Contractor is, and shall remain, an independent contractor with full, complete and exclusive power and authority to
direct, supervise, and control its own employees and to determine the method of the performance of the work
covered hereby. The fact that the Owner or Owner's Representative shall have the right to observe Contractor's
work during Contractor's performance and to carry out the other prerogatives which are expressly reserved to and
vested in the Owner or Owner's Representative hereunder, is not intended to and shall not at any time change or
effect the status of the Contractor as an independent contractor with respect to either the Owner or Owner's
Representative or to the Contractor's own employees or to any other person, firm, or corporation.
54. CLEANING UP
The Contractor shall at all times keep the premises free from accumulation of debris caused by the work, and at the
completion of the work Contractor shall remove all such debris and also its tools, scaffolding, and surplus materials
and shall leave the work room clean or its equivalent. The work shall be left in good order and condition. In case
of dispute Owner may remove the debris and charge the cost to the Contractor.
55. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES AND ASBESTOS
Hazardous Substances (herein so called), as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C.S. §9601(14)) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as same may
be amended from time to time, hydrocarbons or other petroleum products or byproducts and/or asbestos, in any
form, shall not (i) be utilized, in anyway, manner or form, in the construction of, or incorporation into, the Project;
or (ii) be brought upon, placed, or located, by any party, on the Project site, or any other property of the City, without
the written consent of the Owner's Representative. If Contractor believes that the utilization of a Hazardous
Substance, hydrocarbons or other petroleum products or byproducts and/or asbestos is necessary in the construction
of the Project, or that it is necessary to place and/or otherwise locate upon the site of the Project or other property
of the City, a Hazardous Substance, hydrocarbons or other petroleum products or byproducts and/or asbestos,

Establishing Paid Sick Leave
for Federal Contractors applies to all
contracts subject to the
Davis -Bacon Act for which the contract is
awarded (and any
solicitation was issued) on or after January
1, 2017. If this

needs, including
preventive care; to assist a family member
(or person who is
like family to the employee) who is ill,
injured, or has other
health -related needs, including preventive
care; or for reasons
resulting from, or to assist a family member
(or person who is
like family to the employee) who is a victim
of, domestic
violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
Additional information
on contractor requirements and worker
protections under the EO
is available at
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/govemm
ent-contracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not
included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be
added after
award only as provided in the labor
standards contract clauses
(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).
The body of each wage determination lists
the classification
and wage rates that have been found to be
prevailing for the
cited type(s) of construction in the area
covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed
in alphabetical
order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether
the particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated
rate for local),
a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a
union average rate
(weighted union average rate).
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation
identifier enclosed
in dotted lines beginning with characters
other than ""SU"" or
""UAVG"" denotes that the union
classification and rate were
prevailing for that classification in the
survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an
abbreviation identifier of
the union which prevailed in the survey for
this
classification, which in this example would
be Plumbers. 0198
indicates the local union number or district
council number
where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198.
The next number,
005 in the example, is an internal number
used in processing
the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the
effective date of the
most current negotiated rate, which in this
example is July 1,
2014.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to
reflect all rate
changes in the collective bargaining
agreement (CBA) governing
this classification and rate.
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the ""SU""
identifier indicate that
no one rate prevailed for this classification
in the survey and
the published rate is derived by computing a
weighted average
rate based on all the rates reported in the
survey for that
classification. As this weighted average rate
includes all
rates reported in the survey, it may include
both union and
non -union rates. Example: SULA2012-007
5/13/2014. SU indicates
the rates are survey rates based on a
weighted average
calculation of rates and are not majority
rates. LA indicates
the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of
survey on which
these classifications and rates are based. The
next number, 007
in the example, is an internal number used in
producing the
wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the
survey completion
date for the classifications and rates under
that identifier.
Survey wage rates are not updated and
remain in effect until a
new survey is conducted.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification(s) listed under the UAVG
identifier indicate
that no single majority rate prevailed for
those
classifications; however, 100% of the data
reported for the
classifications was union data. EXAMPLE:
UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is
a weighted union
average rate. OH indicates the state. The
next number, 0010 in
the example, is an internal number used in
producing the wage
determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the
survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that
identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year,
usually in January of
each year, to reflect a weighted average of
the current
negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals
from which the rate is
based.
WAGE DETERMINATION
APPEALS PROCESS
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the
matter? This can
be:
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting
forth a position on
a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification
and rate) ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact,
including requests
for summaries of surveys, should be with the
Wage and Hour
National Office because National Office has
responsibility for
the Davis -Bacon survey program. If the
response from this
initial contact is not satisfactory, then the
process described
in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.
With regard to any other matter not yet ripe
for the formal
process described here, initial contact should
be with the
Branch of Construction Wage
Determinations. Write to:
Branch of Construction Wage
Determinations
Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes,
then an
interested party (those affected by the
action) can request
review and reconsideration from the Wage
and Hour Administrator
(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7).
Write to:
Wage and Hour Administrator
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
The request should be accompanied by a full
statement of the
interested parry's position and by any
information (wage
payment data, project description, area
practice material,
etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to
the issue.
3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not
favorable, an
interested party may appeal directly to the
Administrative
Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals
Board). Write to:
Administrative Review Board
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210

inspection. Divert the normal flow as specified in Section 33 0140 - Diversion Pumping, and
clean the line to be inspected.
3.03 PASSAGE OF VIDEO CAMERA
A. If during survey television inspection of a manhole section, the camera is unable to pass an
obstruction even though flow is unobstructed, televise the manhole section from the other
direction (reverse setup) in order to obtain a complete video of the line. Whenever such a
condition arises, notify the RPR to determine whether an obstruction removal or point repair is
necessary. If a point repair is authorized, repair the pipe at the designated location and then re -
televise the manhole section to verify completion of the point repair.
1. When the camera is being pulled from the other direction in order to survey on either
side of an obstruction and a second obstruction or repair location is encountered away
from the first obstruction, notify the RPR and request a review of the video. The RPR
may direct the Contractor to make one or both repairs.
2. Once point repairs are completed, re -inspect the manhole section.
3. The RPR makes no guarantee that the sanitary sewer designated for survey television
after cleaning is clear for the passage of the camera set-up. Select the appropriate
equipment, tools and methods for securing safe passage of the camera.

contamination to the public water supply.
C. Pneumatic or hydraulically powered "knockers" or chain flails may be used to remove
heavy tuberculation in metallic pipes.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Do not begin cleaning until both upstream and downstream manholes have been checked
for flow monitors and other mechanical devices.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Take precautions to protect sanitary sewer mains and manholes from damage that might
be inflicted by the improper selection of cleaning processes or improper use of
equipment. When using hydraulically -propelled devices take precautions to ensure that
the water pressure created does not cause damage to or flooding of public or private
property. Do not surcharge any sanitary sewer to an elevation that could cause overflow
of sewage into area waterways, homes or buildings, or onto the surface.
B. Do not use or obstruct fire hydrants. Remove water meters, fittings and piping from fire
hydrants at the end of each working day.
C. Exercise care to prevent contamination of the potable water system. Use an appropriately
sized backflow preventer as required by the water service provider when drawing water
from a public hydrant.
D. Where possible, use the flow of wastewater present in the sanitary sewer main to provide
fluid for hydraulic cleaning devices.
3.3 CLEANING
A. Conserve water. Do not use waste water from the public water supply through poor
connections, hydrants left open, or any other cause.
B. Collapsible Dams: Use collapsible dams for hydraulically -propelled devices which
require a head of water to operate. Dam shall be easily collapsible to prevent damage to
the sewer, public property, and private property.
C. High Velocity Cleaning: Operate high-Ovelocity cleaning equipment so that the
pressurized nozzles moves continuously. Turn off or reduce the flow to the nozzle to
prevent damage to the line any time the nozzle becomes stationary.
Section 02560-3 February 2022
dArt csry of
ck Lubbo
TEXAS
D. Mechanical Cleaning: In addition to normal cleaning equipment, perform mechanical
cleaning when required and approved using equipment and accessories as defined in this
section.
(1) Chain Flail: The use of a chain flail will be performed in accordance with the
Contractor's approved Tuberculation Removal Plan.
(2) Bucket Machine: Bucket machines shall be with sufficient power to perform the
work in an efficient manner. Machines shall be belt operated or have an overload
shutoff device. Machines with a direct drive that could damage an existing pipe
shall not be used. Bucked machines shall not be used on rehabilitated pipelines
lined with a plastic pipe or plastic liner.
E. Debris Disposal: Remove sludge, soil, sand, rocks, grease, roots and other solid or semi-
solid material resulting from the cleaning operation at the downstream manhole of the
section being cleaned. Passing debris from any sewer section to any other sewer section
is not allowed. Load debris from the manholes into an enclosed container permitted by
location regulations for liquid waste hauling. Remove solids and semi -solids resulting
from the cleaning operations from the site and dispose them lawfully at the end of each
work day. Liquid wastes from municipal sources must be treated or processed to
eliminate free liquids by State and Federal regulation. Do not accumulate debris, liquid
waste, or sludge on the site except in totally enclosed containers approved by the
Engineer or RPR. Only solids and semi -solids are allowed for transmittal and disposal
offsite. All free liquids shall be passed through the existing sanitary sewer system. RPR at
his/her discretion, may independently perform a paint filter test per EPA 9095B to
determine acceptability of waste for disposal and require dewatering or other measure
prior to hailing/disposal of solids and semi -solids.
F. Disposal Sites: Dispose of waste at a lawfully -permitted disposal site using a transporter
having a valid Liquid Waster Transporter Permit. Pay fees for disposal, even when
utilizing a City operated landfill.
G. Pay for any testing of waste material to detect lead or other hazardous wastes as required
by law.
3.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Do not under any circumstances, allow sewage or solids removed in the cleaning process
to be released onto streets or into ditches, catch basins, cleanouts, storm drains, or
sanitary or storm sewer manholes.

5.2.1 or ASTM D 5813, Sections 5 and 6. The tube shall be constructed to withstand
2
INK C:�of
Lubbock
installation pressures, have sufficient strength to bridge missing pipe, and stretch to fit
irregular pipe sections.
4.1.1 The wet -out Tube shall have a relatively uniform thickness that when compressed at
installation pressures will equal or exceed the calculated minimum design CIPP wall
thickness.
4.1.2 The Tube shall be manufactured to a size that when installed will tightly fit the internal
circumference and length of the original pipe. Allowance should be made for
circumferential stretching during installation.
4.1.3 The outside layer of the Tube shall be coated with an impermeable, flexible membrane that
will contain the resin and allow the resin impregnation (wet out) procedure to be
monitored.
4.1.4 The Tube shall contain no intermediate or encapsulated elastomeric layers. No material
shall be included in the Tube that may cause delamination in the cured CIPP. No dry or
unsaturated layers shall be evident.
4.1.5 The wall color of the interior pipe surface of CIPP after installation shall be a relatively
light reflective color so that a clear detailed examination with closed circuit television
inspection equipment may be made.
4.1.6 Seams in the Tube shall be stronger than the non -seamed felt material.
4.1.7 The Tube shall be marked for distance at regular intervals along its entire length, not to
exceed 5 ft. Such markings shall include the Manufacturers name or identifying symbol.
The tubes must be manufactured in the USA.
4.2 Resin - The resin system shall be a corrosion resistant polyester or vinyl ester system including all
required catalysts, initiators that when cured within the tube create a composite that satisfies the
requirements of ASTM F1216, ASTM D5813 and ASTM F1743, the physical properties herein,
and those which are to be utilized in the submitted and approved design of the CIPP for this
project. The resin shall produce a CIPP that will comply with the structural and chemical
resistance requirements of this specification.
5. STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS
5.1 The CIPP shall be designed as per ASTM F1216, Appendix X.1. The CIPP design shall assume no
bonding to the original pipe wall.
5.2 The Contractor must have performed long-term testing for flexural creep of the CIPP pipe material
installed by his Company. Such testing results are to be used to determine the long-term, time
dependent flexural modulus to be utilized in the product design. This is a performance test of the
materials (Tube and Resin) and general workmanship of the installation and curing as defined
within the relevant ASTM standard. A percentage of the instantaneous flexural modulus value (as
measured by ASTM D790 testing) will be used in design calculations for external buckling. The
3
INK City of
Lubbock
percentage, or the long-term creep retention value utilized, will be verified by this testing.
Retention values exceeding 50% of the short-term test results shall not be applied unless
substantiated by qualified third party test data to the Owner's satisfaction. The materials utilized
for the contracted project shall be of a quality equal to or better than the materials used in the long-
term test with respect to the initial flexural modulus used in the CIPP design.
5.3 The Enhancement Factor `K' to be used in `Partially Deteriorated' Design conditions shall be
assigned a value of 7.
5.4 The layers of the cured CIPP shall be uniformly bonded. It shall not be possible to separate any
two layers with a probe or point of a knife blade so that the layers separate cleanly or the probe or
knife blade moves freely between the layers. If the layers separate during field sample testing, new
samples will be required to be obtained from the installed pipe. Any reoccurrence may cause
rejection of the work.
5.5 The cured pipe material (CIPP) shall conform to the structural properties, as listed below.

P. Begin initial floating using bull floats or darbies to form a uniform and open -textured surface
plane, free of humps or hollows, before excess moisture or bleedwater appears on the surface.
Do not further disturb slab surfaces before starting finishing operations.
Q. Cold Weather Placement: Comply with ACI 306.1 and as follows. Protect concrete work
from physical damage or reduced strength that could be caused by frost, freezing actions, or
low temperatures.
(1) When air temperature has fallen to or is expected to fall below 40 degree Fahrenheit,
uniformly heat water and aggregates before mixing to obtain a concrete mix
temperature of not less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit and not more than 80 degrees
Fahrenheit at point of placement.
(2) Do not use frozen materials or materials containing ice or snow. Do not place concrete
on frozen subgrade or on subgrade containing frozen materials.
(3) Do not use calcium chloride, salt, or other materials containing antifreeze agents or
chemical accelerators, unless otherwise specified and approved in mix designs.

R. Hot Weather Placement: Place concrete according to recommendations in ACI 350R and as
follows, when hot weather conditions exist:
S. Cool ingredients before mixing to maintain concrete temperature below 90 degrees
Fahrenheit at time of placement.
T. Chilled mixing water or chopped ice may be used to control temperature, provided water
equivalent of ice is calculated to total amount of mixing water.
U. Using liquid nitrogen to cool concrete is Contractor's option.
V. Cover steel reinforcement with water -soaked burlap so steel temperature will not exceed
ambient air temperature immediately before embedding in concrete.
W. Fog -spray forms, steel reinforcement, and subgrade just before placing concrete. Keep
subgrade moisture uniform without standing water, soft spots, or dry areas.
3.8 MISCELLANEOUS CONCRETE ITEMS
A. Filling In: Fill in holes and openings left in concrete structures, unless otherwise indicated,
after work of other trades is in place.
B. Mix, place, and cure concrete, as specified, to blend with in -place construction. Provide other
miscellaneous concrete filling indicated or required to complete Work.
3.9 CONCRETE PROTECTION AND CURING
A. Protect freshly placed concrete from premature drying and excessive cold or hot
temperatures. Comply with ACI 306.1 for cold -weather protection and with
recommendations in ACI 305R for hot -weather protection during curing.
B. Formed Surfaces: Cured formed concrete surfaces, including underside of beams, supported
slabs, and other similar surfaces.
(1) Leave forms in place for a minim of 3 days.
(2) Upon removal of forms, apply approved curing compound.
C. Unformed Surfaces: Begin curing immediately after finishing concrete.
(1) Cure unformed surfaces, including floors and slabs, concrete floor toppings, and other
surfaces, by the following method:
D. Concrete shall be wet cured for 3 days after concrete placement. Wet curing shall begin
immediately after final finishing of slab surface and shall consist of continuous misting by
sprinkler or wet burlap.
(1) No work will be permitted on the slab during wet curing.
E. Immediately after removal of sprinkler or burlap, Contractor shall apply approved curing
compound.
F. During cold weather concrete placement, in lieu of wet curing, the Contractor shall place
plastic sheets over the concrete surface with blankets over the plastic. Plastic shall remain in
place for 3 days.
G. Sealing Coat: Uniformly apply a continuous sealing coat of curing and sealing compound to
hardened concrete by power spry or roller according to manufacturer's written instructions.
3.10 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Nondestructive Testing: Impact hammer, sonoscope, or other nondestructive device will be
permitted by the Engineer.
