SUMMARY OF INQUIRIES AND RESPONSES
r" This list contains a list of inquiries from Bidders which required an
interpretation by B&V of the technical specifications and drawings.
Questions concerning general information of the project and scope of
work are not included in this list.
1. Bidder Question: Refer to section 02222, paragraph 11.02. In the
table, the minimum trench width specified is pipe OD plus nominal
pipe size. In section 01025, paragraph 10, third paragraph,
concerning measurement of miscellaneous concrete, the
specification indicates measurement is based on pipe OD plus 24
r- inches. Is this correct?
B&V Response: Paragraph 10 should indicate pipe OD plus nominal
r., pipe size.
B&V Comment: This item is included in Addendum No. 1.
2. Bidder Question: Refer to section 01500, paragraph 12, third
paragraph. Are the two -foot earthen.dikes to remain or be
removed?
B&V_Response: Removed following backfilling operations.
B&V Comment: This item is included in Addendum No. 1.
3. Bidder Question: Is the Contractor required to survey the
pipeline PI's.
B&V Response: Yes. The Engineer will designate the control
points for horizontal and vertical control. Refer to section
01015, paragraph 9.
B&V Comment: No addendum item required.
4. Bidder Question: Will the City drain the 30-inch pipeline in
order for the Contractor to make the connection?
B&V Response: Suggest this question be asked at the pre -bid
conference. (The question was asked at the pre -bid).
At the pre -bid: Refer to section 02612, paragraph 15, section
02614, paragraph 15, and section 02620, paragraph 17. Facilities
shall be provided by the Contractor for proper dewatering and for
082691 1
r
0
disposal of all water removed from the dewatered lines and
excavations without damage to adjacent property.
B&V Comment: No addendum item required.
5. Bidder Ouestions: Refer to section 02222, paragraph 15c. Because
r" the uncompacted backfill is not specified to meet a density
requirement, why require density tests every 1,000 feet?
�-. B&V Response: Agree, the tests are not required if density is not
specified. The backfill is to be compacted to the degree required
to prevent future settlement.
As requested by the City at the prebid, a density will be
established. The City also requested more frequent density tests.
Therefore, in -place density tests will be required.
B&V Comment: This item is included in Addendum No. 1.
6. Bidder Question: Refer to section 02222, paragraph, 12.03 and 15.
Are in -place density tests not required for the water barrier?
B&V Response: They are not specified to have the tests. Standard
proctor tests are required as specified in paragraph 15. As
requested by the City at the prebid, in -place density tests will
be required.
r
B&V Comment: This item is included in Addendum No. 1.
7. Bidder Question: Refer to section 02222, paragraph 15. Are in -
place density tests required on the gravel embedment?
B&V Response: No. As specified in paragraph 15, initial
gradation tests are required.
B&V Comment: No addendum item required.
r
8. Bidder Question: On sheets 3 and 4 and at stations 32+07 and
54+16, respectively, the sizes of the existing pipes shown in the
,,. plan views do not agree with the sizes indicated in the profile.
Should they agree?
B&V Response: The sizes in the plan are correct. The profile
should be revised to agree with the plan view. The existing pipe
that crosses the effluent pipeline at station 32+07 should be an
18 inch. The existing pipe that crosses the effluent pipeline at
station 54+16 should be a 6 inch.
B&V Comment: This item is included in Addendum No. 1.
082691 2
r
9. Bidder Question: Refer to paragraph 8 of sections 02612 and 02614
of the specifications. Will we consider allowing the joint rings
to be welded for pipe restraint in lieu of harnessing?
B&V Response: We will review this request with our pipe
specialists.
r'
r
B&V Comment: B&V reviewed the request with in-house pipe
specialists. Based on the review, welding of the joint rings will
?^
not be permitted. Welding the joints can damage the gasket and
interior mortar lining and is not recommended by B&V specialists.
r.,
10. Bidder Question: Refer to paragraph 11.02 of section 02222 of the
specifications. Will we consider reducing the minimum trench
width or call it maximum so that pipe loadings can be reduced?
B&V Response: Based on our review of this item with our in-house
specialists, the trench widths indicated in paragraph 11.02 are
the minimum required to provide adequate clearances for
installation of the gravel embedment and the trench protective
system.
r.
B&V Comment: No addendum item required.
11. Bidder Question: Refer to section 02612 and 02635, paragraph 4,
and 3., respectively. The loads for the centrifugally cast
fiberglass reinforced polyester pipe (CCFP) appear lower than the
!
loads indicated for the prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP).
B&V Response: The loads for the two alternate pipe materials are
based on the characteristics of the piping and how it reacts to
the loading. The CUP pipe is considered a flexible pipe. PCCP
is considering a rigid pipe. The loads for the two pipes at the
same depth will usually be different.
B&V Comment: No addendum item required.
12. Bidder Question at Prebid: The specification indicate that the
pipeline must be drained and the two connections be made in 8
.-
hours. Is this correct?
B&V and City Response: Yes; refer to section 01300, paragraph 1,
of the specifications. The City emphasized that the intent of the
requirement was to minimize the interruption of service.
B&V Comment: No addendum item required.
13. Bidder Question at Prebid: What if there are no subcontracts on
the project meaning that the MBE/MWBE criteria is not met?
City Response: Henry Day (City) indicated that the Contractor is
responsible to make a good faith effort to reach the goal of 8
A
082691 3
I
t
percent MBE/MWBE criteria. Mr. Day further indicated that their
effort must be documented. B&V indicated that the criteria is
r. indicated in Special Conditions, paragraph SC-23.
14. Bidder Question: Refer to section 02222, paragraph 16.01 In the
second paragraph, the sentence indicates that there shall be no
space between the outside of the tunnel casing and earth. There
is typically a 1/2 to 3/4 inch tolerance due to the auger and
jacking method. What is the intent of this requirement?
B&V Response: We agree that jacking the casing generally results
in a small gap. The intent of the specification was to prevent
excessive gaps. Excessive gaps could be introduced if the
material is hand excavated from inside the tunnel in lieu of
augering.
B&V Comment: This item is included in Addendum No. 1.
15. Bidder Question: Refer to section 02222, paragraph 16.02 The
specification indicates that 1-inch strap shall be provided at the
tunnel crossing to strap the timbers to the pipe. On sheet 5 of
the drawing, 2-inch straps are indicated. What size do the
straps need to be?
B&V Response: The straps should be 2-inch.
B&V Comment: This item is included in Addendum No. 1.
16. Bidder Ouestion: Refer to sheet 5 of the drawings. In the
connection to reservoir piping detail, what is the type of pipe
to which the 30-inch valve is to connect?
B&V Response: The pipe material is prestressed concrete cylinder
r pipe. The type and limits of the material will be verified with
+ shop drawings on the existing pipeline.
B&V Comment: This item is included in Addendum No. 1.
17. Bidder Ouestion: Refer to sheet 2 of the drawings. The valve
�. indicated at pipeline station 3+50 is an alternate in the bid. If
the valve is deleted from the project, does the tee connection
remain?
B&V Response: The tee will remain. Only the valve would be
deleted.
B&V Comment: No addendum item required.

pieced by Contractor at his own cost and expense. The Contractor's responsibility for maintenance of barri-
cades, signs, and lights shall not cease until the date of issuance to Contractor of City's certificate of
acceptance of the project.

vation and testing at any location wherever work is in preparation or progress. Contractor shall ascertain
the scope of any observation which may be contemplated by Owner or Owner's Representative and shall give am-
ple notice as to the time each part of the work will be ready for such observation. Owner or Owner's Rep-
resentative awy reject any work found to be defective or not in accordance with the contract documents,
re-gardless of the stage of its completion or the time or place of discovery of such errors and regardless of
whether Owner's Observer has previously accepted the work through oversight or otherwise. If any work
should be covered without approval or consent of the Owner, it must, if requested by owner or owner's Repre-
sentative, 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 Representa-
tive 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
r., by law or the contract documents.
If any 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 Representa-
tive, be uncovered for observation and testing at the Contractor's expense. The cost of all such inspec-
tions, tests and approvals shall be borne by the Contractor Mess otherwise provided herein. Any work
which fails to meet the requirements of any such tests, inspections or approval, and any work which meets
the requirements of any such tests or approval but, does not meet the requirements of the contract documents
shalt be considered defective. Such defective work 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 this agreement to make such inspections,
' tests, or approvals shall relieve the Contractor from his obligation to perform the work in accordance with
the requirements of the contract documents.
22. DEFECTS AND THEIR REMEDIES
It is further 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, shalt be deemed by the Owner or Owners' Representative as un-
suitable or not in conformity with plans, specification and contract documents, the Contractor shall, after
receipt of written notice thereof from the Owner's Representative, forthwith remove such material and re-
build or otherwise remedy such work so that it shalt be in full accordance with this contract. It is fur-
ther 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 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
r� basis for a claim for damages, or anticipated profits on the work that may be dispensed with. If they in-
crease 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
r+ work under this contract; otherwise such additional work shalt be paid for as provided under Extra Work. In
E '
-30-
case the Owner shall make such changes or alterations as shall make useless any work already done or mate-
rial already furnished or used in said work, then the Owner shall recompense the Contractor for any material
or labor so used, and for any actual toss occasioned by such change, due to 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, al-
teration or addition to the work as shown on the plans and specifications or contract documents and not cov-
ered by Contractor's proposal, except as provided under Changes and Alterations herein.
It is agreed that the Contractor shall perform all extra work under the direction of the Owner's Representa-
tive 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 shalt 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 com-
menced, then the Contractor shall be paid the actual field cost of the work, plus
fifteen (15%) per cent.
In the event said extra work be performed and paid for under Method (C), then the provisions of this para-
graph shall apply and the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the cost of all workmen, 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 Workmen's
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 mat-
ters shall be determined by the Contractor. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machin-
ery 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 com-
pensate him for his profit, overhead, general superintendence and field office expense, and all other ele-
ments 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 Mess ordered in writing by owner's Representative. In
case any orders or instructions appear to the Contractor to involve extra work for which he should receive
compensation or an adjustment in the construction time, he shall make written request to the Owner's Repre-
sentative 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 in-
sists 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). The Contractor will thereby preserve the right to submit the matter of payment to arbi-
tration as herein below provided.

The Contractor agrees that he has submitted his proposal in full recognition of the time required for the
!� completion of this project, taking into consideration the average climatic range and industrial conditions
i prevailing in this locality, and has considered the liquidated damage provisions of paragraph 33 hereinabove
set forth and that he shall not be entitled to, nor will he request, an extension of time on this contract,
r except when his 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,
walk -outs, acts of God or the public enemy, fire or flood. The Contractor may apply in writing for an ex-
tension of time, submitting therewith all written justification as may be required by Owner's Representative

ceipt of a written request for an extension of time by the Contractor supported by all requested docu-

i
shall be made by the Contractor for hindrance or delays from any cause during the progress of any part of

Representative for the Owner's convenience, in which event, such expense as in the judgment of the Owner's
Representative that is caused by such stoppage shall be paid by owner to Contractor.
37. 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 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 of-
fered for the work. 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.
38. 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

tence or character of the work.
39. PRICE FOR WORK

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

aforesaid work, also, for all expenses incurred by him 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.
40. 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 de-
fective 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 con-
tract. Acceptance by Contractor of final payment of the contract price shall constitute a waiver of all
claims against Owner which have not theretofore been timely filed as provided in this contract.

be retained by Owner under the terms of this agreement. It is understood, however, that in case the whole
work be near to completion, and this fact is certified to by Owner's Representative and some unexpected and
some unusual delay occurs due to no fault or negligence on the part of the Contractor, the Owner may upon
written recommendation of Owner's Representative pay a reasonable and equitable portion of the retained per-
centage due Contractor.
42. FINAL COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE
Within thirty-one (31) days after the Contractor has given the Owner's Representative written notice that

cordance with the contract documents, the Owner's Representative shall issue to the Owner and Contractor his
certificate of completion, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Owner within thirty-one (31) days to
issue a certificate of acceptance of the work to the Contractor.
43. FINAL PAYMENT
Upon the issuance of the certificate of completion, the Owner's Representative shall proceed to make final
measurement and prepare a final statement of the value of all work performed and materials furnished under
the terms of the agreement, and shall certify same to the Owner, who shall pay to the Contractor on or be-
fore the 31st day after the date of certificate of completion, the balance due Contractor under the terms of
this agreement, provided he has fully performed his contractual obligations under the terms of this con-
tract; and said payment shall become due in any event upon said performance by the Contractor. Neither the
certificate of acceptance 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 special condi-
tions (if any) of this contract or required in the specifications made a part of this contract.

tractor shall at his own expense promptly replace such condemned materials with other materials conforming
to the requirements of the contract. 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 after a written notice by the Owner or the Owner's Representative,
Owner may remove and replace it at Contractor's expense.
45. COORRECTION OF WORK AFTER FINAL PAYMENT
Neither the final payment nor certificate nor any provision in this contract shall relieve the Contractor of
responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship, and he shalt remedy any defects due thereto and pay for
rr any damage to other work resulting therefrom, which shall appear within a period of one (1) year from the
-38-
I
date of substantial completion. The Owner or the Owner's Representative shall give notice of observed de-
fects with reasonable promptness.

(c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments promptly to subcontractors or for materials or labor.
(d) Damage to another contractor.

which will protect the Owner in the amount withheld, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of
them.

Representative, any demand for arbitration shall be filed with the Owner's Representative and the Owner in
writing within ten (10) days after the date of delivery to Contractor of the final decision of the owner's
Representative. It is further agreed that final acceptance of the work by the Owner and the acceptance by
the Contractor of the final payment shall be a bar to any claim by either party, except where noted other-
wise in the contract documents.
48. ARBITRATION
All questions of dispute under this agreement shall be submitted to arbitration at the request of either
party to the dispute. The parties may agree upon one arbitrator, otherwise, there shall be three; one named
in writing by each party and the third chosen by the two arbiters selected; or if the arbiters fail to se-
lect a third within ten (10) days, he shall be chosen by the District Judge, 72nd Judicial District of
Texas. Each arbiter shall be a resident of the City of Lubbock. Should the party demanding arbitration
fail to name an arbiter within ten (10) days of the demand, his right to arbitrate shall lapse, and the de-
cision of the Owner's Representative shall be final and binding on him. Should the other party fail to
choose an arbiter within ten (10) days, the Owner's Representative shall appoint such arbiter. Should ei-
ther party refuse or neglect to supply the arbiters with any papers or information demanded in writing, the
arbiters are empowered by both parties to take Ex Parte Proceedings.
The arbiters shall act with promptness. The decision of any two shall be binding on both parties to the
contract, unless either or both parties shall appeal within ten (10) days from date of the award by the ar-
biters, and it is hereby agreed that each party shall have the right of appeal and all proceedings shall be

The arbiters, if they deem the case demands it, are authorized to award the party whose contention is sus-
tamed, such sums as they deem proper for the time, expense and trouble incident to the appeal, and if the
appeal was taken without reasonable cause, they may award damages for any delay occasioned thereby. The ar-
biters shall fix their own compensation, unless otherwise provided by agreement, and shall assess the costs
�r and charges of the arbitration upon either or both parties. The award of the arbiters must be made in
writ-ing and shall not be open to objection on account of the form of proceedings or award.
49. ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR
In case the Contractor should abandon and fail or refuse to resume work within ten (10) days after written
notification from the Owner or the Owner's Representative, or if the Contractor fails to comply with the or-
ders of the Owner's Representative, when such orders are consistent with this contract, this Agreement, or
the Specifications hereto attached, 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.
f After receiving said notice of abandonment, 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
r. 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.
I In case the Surety should fail to commence compliance with the notice for completion hereinbefore provided
for within ten (10) days after service of such notice, then the Owner may provide for completion of the work
�... in either of the following elective manners:
(a) The Owner may employ such force of men and use of machinery, equipment, tools, materials and sup-
plies 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
r. is less than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been
com-pleted 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 com-
plated by said Contractor, then the Contractor and/or his Surety shall pay the amount of such excess
to the Owner; or
(b) The Owner, under sealed bids, after notice published as required by law, at least twice in a newspa-
per having a general circulation in the County of location of the work, may let the contract for the
conpletion 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. However, 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.
4 When the work shall have been substantially completed, the Contractor and his Surety shall be so notified
and certificates of completion and acceptance, as provided in paragraph 42 hereinabove set forth, shaLL be
issued. A complete itemized statement of the contract accounts, certified to by owners Representative as
being correct shall then be prepared and delivered to Contractor and his Surety, 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 certificate of completion.
r
t
.40-
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 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. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract
price, and the Contractor and/or his Surety 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 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 subject only to the
duty of the Owner to exercise ordinary care to protect such property. After fifteen (15) 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. 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 machin-
ery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies which remain on the *jobsite and belong to persons other than
the Contractor or his Surety, to their proper owners.
50. ABANDONMENT By OWNER
In case the Owner shall fail to comply with the terms of this contract, and should fail or refuse to comply
with said terms within ten (10) days after written notification by the Contractor, then the Contractor may
suspend or wholly abandon the work, and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools, and equipment, and all
materials on the ground that have not been included in payments to the Contractor and have not been incorpo-
rated into the work. Thereupon, the Owner's Representative shalt make an estimate of the total amount
earned by the Contractor, which estimate shall include the value of all work actually completed by said Con-
tractor at the prices stated in the the attached proposal, the value of all partially completed work at a
fair and equitable price, and the amount of all Extra York performed at the prices agreed upon, or provided
for by the terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by the Con-
tractor to carry the whole work to completion, and which cannot be utilized. The Owner's Representative
shall then make a final statement of the balance due the Contractor by deducting from the above estimate all
previous payments by the Owner and all other sums that may be retained by the Owner under the terms of this
Agreement, and shall certify same to the Owner who shall pay to the Contractor on or before thirty (30) days
after the date of the notification by the Contractor the balance shown by said final statement as due the
Contractor, under the terms of this Agreement.
51. BONDS
The successful bidder shall be required to furnish a performance bond and payment bond in accordance with
Article 5160, Vernon's Arumtated Civil Statutes in the amount of 100% of the total contract price, in the
event said contract price exceeds 525,000.00. If the contract price does not exceed 525,000.00, the statu-
tory bonds will not be required. All bonds, if required, shall be submitted on forms supplied by the Owner,
and executed by an approved Surety Company authorized to do business in the State of Texas. And it is fur-
ther agreed that this contract shall not be in effect until such bonds are so furnished.
52. SPECIAL CONDITIONS
In the event special conditions are contained herein as part of the contract documents and said special con-
ditions conflict with any of the general conditions contained in this contract, then in such event the
special conditions shall control.
-41-
53. LOSSES FROM NATURAL CAUSES
Unless otherwise specified herein, all loss 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 and the prosecution
of the same, or from unusual obstructions or difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution of the
work, shall be sustained and borne by the Contractor at his own cost and expense.
54. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Contractor is, and shall remain, an independent contractor with full, complete and exclusive power and au-
thority to direct, supervise, and control his 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 ob-
serve Contractor's work during his 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.
55. 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 he shall remove aLL such debris and also his tools, scaffolding, and surplus
materials and shell leave the work room cleen 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.

SC-12. CORRECTION PERIOD. Nothing in General Conditions Article 45
concerning the correction period shall establish a period of limitation
with respect to any other obligation which Contractor has under the
Contract Documents. The establishment of time periods relates only to
the specific obligations of Contractor to correct the Work, and has no

Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which
proceedings may be commenced to establish his liability with respect to
his obligations other than to specifically correct the Work.

extent indicated, and only for the point location of the test hole.
Each Bidder shall make his own interpretation of the character and
condition of the materials which will be encountered between test hole
locations. Each prospective Bidder may, at his own expense, make
additional surveys and investigations as he may deem necessary to
determine conditions which will affect performance of the Work.
SC-16. UNDERGROUND INSTALLATIONS. Existing underground installations
are indicated on the Drawings only to the extent such information was
made available to or discovered by Engineer in preparing the Drawings.
There is no guarantee as to the accuracy or completeness of such
information, and all responsibility for the accuracy and completeness

construction, evidence of deposits of historical or archaeological
interest is found, Contractor shall cease operations affecting the find
and shall notify Owner, who shall notify the Texas Water Development
Board and the State Historic Preservation Officer. No further disturb-
ance of the deposits shall ensue until Contractor has been notified by
Owner that he may proceed. Owner will issue a Notice to Proceed only

labor standards, laborer/mechanic, apprentice, trainee, wages,
and wage decision shall apply to this section.
(1) Minimum Wages.
(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the
site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not
less often than once a week, and without subsequent
7

`
deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the
Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act ((29 CFR Part
3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe
benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of
payment computed at rates not less than those contained
r`
in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which
k
is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of
any contractual relationship which may be alleged to
exist between the Contractor and such laborers and
mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anti-
cipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section l(b)
(2) of the Davis -Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or
mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or
E
mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1)(iv)
of this subsection; also, regular contributions made or
costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not
less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or
programs which cover the particular weekly period, are
deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such
weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid
the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually
performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in
paragraph (4) of this subsection. Laborers or mechanics
performing work in more than one classification may be
compensated at the rate specified for each classification
for the time actually worked therein: PROVIDED, that the
employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time
spent in each classification in which work is performed.
The wage determination (including any additional classi-
fication and wage rates conformed under paragraph (1)(ii)

accessible place where it can be easily seen by the
workers.
(ii) (A) The Owner and Contractor agree that any class of
laborers or mechanics which is not listed in the
wage determination and which is to be employed
under the contract shall be classified in conform-
ance with the wage determination. The.Contractor
shall immediately examine the wage determinations
to determine if additional classifications and
basic hourly rates are required and advise the
Owner if additional classifications are needed.
The TWDB shall approve an additional classifica-
tion and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore
only when the following criteria have been met:
(I) The work to be performed by the classi-
fication requested is not performed by a
classification in the wage determination;
and
(II) The classification is utilized in the area
by the construction industry; and
(III) The proposed wage rate, including any bona
fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable
relationship to the wage rates contained
in the wage determination.
(B) If the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics tc
be employed in the classification (if known), or
their representatives, and the Owner agree on the
classification and wage rate (including the amount
designated for fringe benefits where appropriate),
a report of the action taken shall be sent by the
Owner, to the TWDB for processing to the Adminis-
trator of the Wage and hour Division, Employment
Standards Administration (W&H, ESA), U.S. Depart-
ment of Labor, Washington, D.C. 20210. The W&H,
ESA Administrator, or an authorized representative,
will approve, modify, or disapprove every addi-
tional classification action within 30 days of
receipt and so advise the owner, through the TWDB,
or will notify the TWDB within the 30 day period
that additional time is necessary.
(C) In the event the Contractor, the laborers or
mechanics to be employed in the classification or
their representatives, the Owner, and the TWDB do

rate (including the amount designated for fringe
benefits, where appropriate), the TWDB shall refer

the questions, including the views of all
r^ interested parties and the recommendation of the
TWDB to the Administrator W&g, ESA for determina-
tion. The Administrator W&H, ESA, or an authorized
representative, will issue a determination within
30 days of receipt and so advise the owner, through
i the TWDB, or will notify the TWDB within the 30-day
period that additional time is necessary.
r(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where
appropriate) determined pursuant to subparagraph
(B) or (C) of this paragraph shall be paid to all
workers performing work in the classification under
this contract from the first day on which work is
performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in
the contract for a class of laborers or
mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is
not expressed as an hourly rate, the Contractor
shall either pay the benefit as stated in the
wage determination or shall pay another bona
fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equi-
valent thereof.
(iv) If the Contractor does not make payments to a
trustee or other third person, the Contractor
may consider as part of the wages of any
laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide
fringe benefits under a plan or program.
PROVIDED, That the Secretary of Labor has
found, upon the written request of the Con-
tractor, that the applicable standards of the
Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary
of Labor may require the Contractor to set
aside in a separate account assets for the
meeting of obligations under the plan or
program.
(2) Withholdin&. The TWDB shall upon its own action or upon
written request of an authorized representative of the
Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from
the Contractor under this contract or any other SRF

so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be
considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics,
including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by
the Contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of
wages required by the contract. In the event of failure
to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice,
trainee. or helper, employed or working on the site of

contract, the TWDB may, after written notice to the
Contractor or Owner, take such action as may be necessary
to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance.
or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.

maintained by the Contractor during the course of the
work and preserved for a period of three years there-
after for all laborers and mechanics working at the site
of the work. Such records shall contain the name,
address, and Social Security Number of each such worker,

pated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents
thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of

(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include
the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in pro-
viding benefits under a plan or program described in
section l(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act, the Contractor
shall maintain records which show that the commitment to
provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or

program has been communicated in writing to the laborers
or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs
anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such
benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees

of the registration of apprenticeship programs and
certification of trainee programs, the registration of
apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates
prescribed in the applicable programs.

which any contract work is performed a copy of all
Payrolls to the Owner. The payrolls submitted
shall set out accurately and completely all of the
information required to be maintained under section
5.5(a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR Part 5. This

SC-11
sary to cause the suspension of any further
payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Further-
more, failure to submit the required records upon
request or to make such records available may be
grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR
5.12.
(4) Apprentices and Trainees.
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at
less than the predetermined rate for the work they per-
formed when they are employed pursuant to and individu-
ally registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program
registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment
and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship
and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency
recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in
his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an
apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not
individually registered in the program, but who has been
certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or
a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be
eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice.
The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the
job site in any craft classification shall not be greater
than the ratio permitted to the Contractor as to entire
work force under the registered program. Any worker
listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is
not registered or otherwise employed as stated above,
shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on
the wage determination for the classification of work
actually performed. In addition, any apprentice
performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio
permitted under the registered program shall be paid not
less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determi-
nation for the work actually performed. Where a Contrac-
tor is performing construction on a project in a locality
other than that in which its program is registered, the
ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the
journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the Contractor's
or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed.
Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate
specified in the registered program for the apprentice's
level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the
Journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage
determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits
in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship
program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify
fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount
of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for
the applicable classification. If the Administrator W&H,
ESA determines that a different practice prevails for the
(LUBBOCK, TEXAS )
(36 INCH EFFLUENT PIPELINE)
(CONTRACT 1 )
(17578 ) SC-12
rR
applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be
•- paid in accordance with that determination. In the event
the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws
approval of an apprenticeship program, the Contractor
will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at
less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work
performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees
will not be permitted to work at less than the predeter-
mined rate for the work performed unless they are
employed pursuant to and individually registered in a
program which has received prior approval, evidenced by
formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor,
Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of
trainees to journeymen of the job site shall not be
greater than permitted under the plan approved by the
Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee
must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the
approved program for the trainee's level of progress,
expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate
specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees
shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the
provision of the trainee program. If the trainee program
does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid
the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage
determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and
Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship
program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage
rate on the wage determination which provides for less
than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee
listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not
registered and participating in a training plan approved
by the Employment and Training Administration shall be
paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually
performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on
the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the
registered program shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the
work actually performed. In the event the Employment and
Training Administration withdraws approval of a training
program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to
utilize trainees at less than the applicable predeter-
mined rate for the work performed until an acceptable
program is approved.
(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The Utilization of
apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part
shall be in conformity with the equal employment

All excavations for concrete structures or trenches which extend down
to or below groundwater shall be dewatered by lowering and keeping the
groundwater level beneath such excavations 12 inches or more below the
bottom of the excavation.
Surface water shall be diverted or otherwise prevented from entering
excavated areas or trenches to the greatest extent practicable without
causing damage to adjacent property. Refer to paragraph in Temporary
Facilities Section - 01500 concerning temporary drainage provisions.
The Contractor shall be responsible for the condition of any pipe or
conduit which he may use for drainage purposes, and all such pipes or
conduits shall be left clean and free of sediment.
8. SHEETING AND SHORING. Except where banks are cut back on a stable
slope, excavation for structures and trenches shall be sheeted, braced,
and shored as necessary to prevent caving or sliding.
Trench sheeting shall not be pulled before backfilling unless the pipe
strength is sufficient to carry trench loads based on trench width to
the back of sheeting, nor shall sheeting be pulled after backfilling.
With the concurrence of the Engineer, sheeting shall be left permanently
in the trench. No additional payment for such sheeting will be made.
Where trench sheeting is left in place, such sheeting shall not be
braced against the pipe, but shall be supported in a manner which will
preclude concentrated loads or horizontal thrusts on the pipe. Cross
braces installed above the pipe to support sheeting may be removed after
pipe embedment has been completed.
9. STABILIZATION. Subgrades for concrete structures and trench bottoms
shall be firm, dense, and thoroughly compacted and consolidated; free
from mud and muck; and sufficiently stable to remain firm and intact
under the feet of the workmen.

or elevation of each pipeline shall be fixed and determined from offset
stakes. Vertical and horizontal alignment of pipes, and the maximum
joint deflection used in connection therewith, shall be in conformity
with requirements of the section covering installation of pipe.
Where pipe grades or elevations are not definitely fixed by the contract
drawings, trenches shall be excavated to a depth sufficient to provide a
minimum depth of backfill cover over the top of the pipe of 42 inches.
Greater pipe cover depths may be necessary on vertical curves or to
provide necessary clearance beneath existing pipes, conduits, drains,
drainage structures, or other obstructions encountered at normal pipe
grades. Measurement of pipe cover depth shall be made vertically from
the outside top of pipe to finished ground or pavement surface elevation
except where future surface elevations are indicated on the drawings.
11.02. Limiting Trench Widths. Trenches shall be excavated to a width
which will provide adequate working space and sidewall clearances for
proper pipe installation, jointing, and embedment. Minimum trench
widths shall be as follows:

(17578 ) -7-
Foreign matter. shall be prevented from entering the pipe during
installation. No tools, clothing, debris, or other foreign material
shall be placed in the pipe.
Whenever pipe laying is stopped, the open end of the line shall be
sealed with a watertight plug. All water in the trench shall be removed
prior to removing the plug.
13.01. Cleaning. The interior of all pipe and fittings shall be thor-
oughly cleaned before installation and shall be kept clean until the
work has been accepted.
13.02. Alignment. Piping shall be laid to the lines and grades indi-
cated on the drawings. Pipelines or runs intended to be straight shall
be laid straight. Curves may be formed by using fittings or beveled
joints or by opening the joints.
Laser beam equipment, surveying instruments, or other suitable methods
shall be used to maintain alignment and grade. At least one elevation
reading shall be made on each length of pipe. If laser beam equipment
is used, periodic elevation measurements shall be made with surveying
instruments to verify accuracy of grades. If such measurements indicate
thermal deflection of the laser beam due to differences between ground
temperature and the air temperature within the pipe, precautions shall
be taken to prevent or minimize further thermal deflections.
13.03. Joint 0 enin . The minimum reserve extensibility (distance from
the near edge of the spigot groove to the edge of the flare of the bell)
remaining after joints are deflected shall be not less than the amount
indicated on Figure 1-02612 at the end of this section. For bells
having a depth of straight portion different from that indicated on
Figure 1-02612 and for spigots having sealing and gasket retention space
different from that indicated on Figure 1-02612, the maximum joint
opening shall be correspondingly adjusted.
The distance from the face of the spigot to the shoulder of the spigot
shall be at least 3/6 inch greater than the joint depth (distance from
face of bell to seat of bell) for 42 inch and smaller pipe, and shall
be at least 1/2 inch greater for pipe larger than 42 inch size.
14. JOINTING.
14.01. Bell -and -Spigot Joints. Rubber and steel joints shall be
installed in accordance with the pipe manufacturer's recommendations.
Immediately before the pipes are joined, all spigot and bell surfaces
shall be thoroughly cleaned and bell surfaces shall be coated with joint
lubricant. The gasket shall be lubricated and positioned in the spigot
groove so that the gasket is distributed uniformly around the circum-
ference. After each joint is completed, the position of the gasket
shall be checked using a feeler gauge. If the.gasket is not in the
proper position, the joint shall be pulled apart, the gasket removed and
discarded, and the joint reassembled using a new, properly lubricated
gasket.

(36 INCH EFFLUENT PIPELINE)
(CONTRACT 1 ) 02612
(17578 ) -8-
r
Pipe sections connecting to structures or air/vacuum relief manholes
shall have a joint outside each structure within 4 feet of the inside
face of the structure.
Joint lubricant shall be stored in closed containers and shall be kept
clean. When installing pipe in cold weather, the joint surfaces and
gaskets shall be kept warm and the joint lubricant shall be prevented
from freezing.
Each exterior joint recess shall be filled with joint grout. A diaper
shall be used to prevent foreign material from entering the joint recess
before grouting and to serve as a form for the grout. Each diaper shall
be of sufficient length to encircle the pipe, leaving enough space
between the ends to allow the grout to be poured into place. Joint
grout shall be poured between the diaper and the pipe and shall be
allowed to run down around to the bottom of the pipe. The grout shall
be rodded, while being poured, using a stiff wire curved to the approxi-
mate shape of the pipe. Each joint recess shall be completely filled
with grout for the full circumference of the pipe.
Not less than two lengths of pipe shall be in final position in advance
�- of exterior joint grouting. If pipe embedment operations are resumed
before the grout has attained initial set, care shall be taken to pre-
vent damage to the grout while placing and compacting embedment
material.
rAfter trench backfilling operations have been completed, the inside
joint recess concrete pipe shall be filled with joint mortar. Joint
surfaces shall be damp, but free from surface water when the mortar is
placed. Mortar shall be thoroughly compacted to completely fill the
recess and shall be finished smooth. All excess mortar shall be removed
from the pipe.
14.02. Flanged Joints. Care shall be taken in bolting flanged joints
so that there is no restraint on the opposite end of the piece which
would prevent pressure from being uniformly applied upon the gasket.
The pipe or fitting must be free to move in any direction while bolting.
Bolts shall be gradually tightened in a criss-cross pattern, to ensure a
uniform rate of gasket compression around the entire flange.
I 14.03. Mechanical Joints. Mechanical joints shall be carefully assem-
bled in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. If effec-
tive sealing is not obtained, the joint shall be disassembled,
thoroughly cleaned, and reassembled. Overtightening of gland bolts to
i compensate for poor installation practice will not be permitted.
15. CONNECTIONS WITH EXISTING LINES. Where connections are made
between new work and existing piping, such connections shall be made
using fittings acceptable to the Engineer and suitable for the condi-
tions encountered. Each connection with an existing pipe shall be made
j at the time and under conditions which will least interfere with service
to customers affected thereby, and as authorized by the Owner. Facili-
ties shall be provided for proper dewatering and for disposal of all
(LUBBOCK, TEXAS )
(36 INCH EFFLUENT PIPELINE)
r (CONTRACT 1 ) 02612
(17578 } -9-
water removed from the dewatered lines and excavations without damage to
adjacent property.
16. CONCRETE ENCASEMENT. Concrete encasement shall be installed where
and as indicated on the drawings. Concrete and reinforcing steel shall
be as specified in the cast -in -place concrete section. All pipe to be
encased shall be suitably supported and blocked in proper position and
shall be anchored against flotation.
17. PROTECTIVE COATINGS. Unless otherwise specified, metal surfaces
shall be protected as specified herein.
17.01. Shop Coatings. Bolts and flange faces shall be shop coated with
rust -preventive compound as specified. All other metal surfaces, except
steel joint rings, shall be shop primed with coal tar primer as
specified.
All surfaces of steel joint rings exposed in finished pipe shall be
protected from corrosion by a shop -applied coat of rust -inhibitive
primer or a coating of metallic zinc not less than 0.004 inch thick
applied by the metalizing process. ,
17.02. Surfaces Exposed Underground. All metal surfaces which will be
in contact with backfill after installation and are not encased in con-
crete shall be cleaned to remove all rust and foreign materials, primed,
and wrapped with two half -lapped layers of field -applied tape coating,
or coated with 35 mils of thixotropic coal tar coating. Tape coating
shall be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Backfill adjacent to wrapped surfaces shall consist of clean sand or pea
gravel.
17.03. Surfaces Exposed in Manholes. All metal surfaces exposed inside
manholes after installation shall be cleaned and given two coats of
medium consistency coal tar paint.
18. jPRESSURE AND LEAKAGE TESTING. After installation, prestressed
concrete cylinder piping shall be tested for defective workmanship and
materials by being subjected to a hydrostatic test as set forth in the
pipeline pressure and leakage testing section.
19. DRAWINGS AND DATA. Drawings, specifications, installation sche-
dules, and other data showing complete details of the design, fabrica-
tion, construction, field locations and elevations, and installation of
pipe, fittings, specials, and connections, together with complete data

prior to removing the plug.
r
13.01. Cleaning. The interior of all pipe and fittings shall be thor-
oughly cleaned before installation and shall be kept clean until the
r-
work has been accepted.
13.02. Alignment. Piping shall be laid to the lines and grades indi-
cated on the drawings. Pipelines or runs intended to be straight shall
be laid straight. Curves may be formed by using fittings or beveled
joints or by opening the joints.
Laser beam equipment. surveying instruments, or other suitable methods
shall be used to maintain alignment and grade. At least one elevation
reading shall be made on each length of pipe.
!� If laser beam equipment is used, periodic elevation measurements shall
be made with surveying instruments to verify accuracy of grades. If
such measurements indicate thermal deflection of the laser beam due to
differences between ground temperature and the air temperature within
the pipe, precautions shall be taken to prevent or minimize further
thermal deflections.

14.01. Bell -and -Spigot Joints. Rubber and steel joints shall be
installed in accordance with the.pipe manufacturer's recommendations.
Immediately before the pipes are joined, all spigot and bell surfaces
shall be thoroughly cleaned and bell surfaces shall be coated with joint
lubricant. The gasket shall be lubricated and positioned in the spigot
groove so that the gasket is distributed uniformly around the circum-
ference. After each joint is completed, the position of the gasket
shall be checked using a feeler gauge. If the gasket is not in the
proper position, the joint shall be pulled apart, the gasket removed and
discarded, and the joint reassembled using a new, properly lubricated
gasket.
Pipe sections connecting to structures or air/vacuum relief manholes
shall have a joint outside each structure within 4 feet of the inside
face of the structure.
Joint lubricant shall be stored in closed containers and shall be kept
clean. When installing pipe in cold weather, the joint surfaces and
gaskets shall be kept warm and the joint lubricant shall be prevented
from freezing.
Each exterior joint recess shall be filled with joint grout. A diaper
shall be used to prevent foreign material from entering the joint recess
before grouting and to serve as a form for the grout. Each diaper shall
be of sufficient length to encircle the pipe, leaving enough space
between the ends to allow the grout to be poured into place. Joint
grout shall be poured between the diaper and the pipe and shall be
allowed to run down around to the bottom of the pipe. The grout shall
be rodded, while being poured, using a stiff wire curved to the
approximate shape of the pipe. Each joint recess shall be completely
filled with grout for the full circumference of the pipe.
Not less than two lengths of pipe shall be in final position in advance
of exterior joint grouting. If pipe embedment operations are resumed
before the grout has attained initial set, care shall be taken to
prevent damage to the grout while placing and compacting embedment
material.
After trench backfilling operations have been completed, the inside
joint recess of concrete pipe shall be filled with joint mortar. Joint
surfaces shall be damp, but free from surface water when the mortar is
placed. Mortar shall be thoroughly compacted to completely fill the
recess and shall be finished smooth. All excess mortar shall be removed
from the pipe.

Q - 0.0075 DLN
(LUBBOCK, TEXAS )
(36 INCH EFFLUENT PIPELINE)
(CONTRACT 1 ) 02704
(17578 ) -2-
where
Q - allowable leakage in gallons per hour
D - nominal diameter of pipe in inches
{ L - length of section tested in thousand feet
N - square root of average test pressure in psi
Whenever the pipeline to be tested contains pipe of different diameters,
the allowable leakage shall be calculated separately for each diameter
and corresponding length of line. The resulting allowable leakage rates
shall be added to obtain the total allowable leakage for the entire
pipeline.
All joints in piping shall be watertight and free from visible leaks
during the leakage test. Each leak which is discovered within the
correction period stipulated in the General Conditions of the Agreement
shall be repaired by and at the expense of the Contractor regardless of
any amount that the total line leakage rate, during the leakage test,
may have been below the specified allowable leakage rate.
If the leakage test indicates a line leakage rate exceeding, the
allowable, the Contractor shall locate and repair leaking joints and
other defective items of work to the extent necessary to reduce the line
leakage to an acceptable amount.

Re: Southeast Water Reclamation Plant Expansion and Improvements
Dear Mr. McCollum:
With reference to your letter dated March 6, 1991, Terra has the
following comments to make:
* With reference to backfill around structures, on site
materials could be used provided they are not big chunks that
can not be properly compacted.
* Standard penetration tests were done at 2 1/2 feet, 5 feet,
10 feet, 15 feet, ...at five feet intervals, until boreholes were
terminated. Samples obtained at these depths were then used for
analysis, classification, etc.
* The allowable bearing values recommended are based on
standard penetration values and therefore, are in terms of gross
r
and not net.
As it is difficult to evaluate what the design depths of the
footing for the various structures would be, it is not possible
for us to provide bearing pressures in terms of net. However,
the average unit weight of the soils in the areas could be assumed
to be approximately 110 pcf. from which it may be essay for you
to compute the bearing pressures in terms of net, given the gross
allowable pressures.
* The average weight of the soils in the area could be assumed
to be approximately 110 pef. The maximum dry density of the soil
could be assumed to range between 100 pef and 105 pef. Equivalent
fluid pressure provided by us is a reasonable value for the soil
conditions encountered here.
... * Terra has provided design of trench safety systems on a number
of projects before which have been accepted by OSHA officials as
being adequate. However, we will like to emphasize that a detailed
plan be developed prior to construction and that it be cerified by
a registered professional engineer.

* Under the earthwork section, it is recommended to remove all
the organics, scarify the top 8 inches and recompact it within 2
percentage points of its optimum moisture content to at least 95%
of its maximum dry density in accordance with ASTM 698.
* As indicated there has been no seismic activity recorded in
the area. The information provided may not be genuine, but may be
of only academic interest as it is very difficult at this time to
predict the possibility of man-made earthquakes.
* Estimation of differential settlements is a soil -structure
interaction problem and it is beyond the scope of this investigation.
Moreover, we do not have any information regarding the magnitudes
of anticipate loads and/or the stiffness of the structure. Also,
without carrying out a settlement analysis, it would be very
difficult to provide the magnitude of anticipated total and differ-
ential settlements. Terra has performed similar settlement analysis
for warehouses, tank foundations and others, using soil -structure
.interaction computer models, and that if such an analysis is needed
we would be glad to provide you with one.
* With reference to our recommendations regarding over-excavatiorr
for footing, it was intended for incidental situations and was not
meant to be a requirement. The lean mix referred was meant to refer to
concrete with 1500 psi strength.
* Excess moisture may be kept away from the subgrade by sloping
the soils away from structures and not excessively watering the
landscape around structures. If this cannot be avoided, provide a
french drain around the building foundation to carry the water away.
* Terra does not have the expertise to provide recommendations
on the type and extent of corrosion protection that need to be
provided.
If you have any further questions, please call me.
Thank you.

SOUTHEAST WATER RECLAMATION PLANT
EXPANSION AND IMPROVEMENTS
LUBBOCK, TEXAS
INTRODUCTION
This report contains the results .f the the soil invest-
igation recently done for the proposed 36 in. effluent pipeline
from the existiT►Y water reclamation plant to the laity of Lubbock
terminal reservoir and the wal.er reclaniaLic�n plant. at: the exisLinsz
treatment plant site. The investigation was done in accordance
with our proposal dated November 20, 1990 which was based on
Black & Veatch's RFP dated November 12, 1990.
EXPLORATION, SAMPLING AND FIELD TESTING
Twenty-three test holes were drilled to different
depths (refer to boring logs for individual depths) at the
locations indicated on the boring location plan (Fieures la
and b). The drilling was done using Mobile B-53 and B-40
drilling rigs with flight augers or compressed air in order
to secure reliable data on the natural moisture content of
the soil and on ground water, if any. Standard penetration
tests were made at 2 1/2 feet, 5 feet, 10 feet, 15 feet etc.
at 5 feet increments till boreholes were terminated. The number
of blows per foot of penetration of the split spoon sample (in
6 inch increments) are shown in the borine loos and in
3
TERRA ENGINEERS, INC.
Figure 2a-e. Soil sampling was performed in accordance with
ASTM D 1568. At depths where the borehole could not be
advanced by ordinary means, the borehole was extended another
5.0 feet by coring to ensure that it was not a thin layer of
hard formation or an isolated boulder.
The changes in soil strata as observed during
drilling operations were carefully determined and are shown
in the boring log. All soil samples were kept in moisture -
proof plastic bags to preserve the in -situ moisture content,
identified by the hole number and depth of the hole, and
transported to the laboratory for additional tests And
evaluation. No groundwater was observed during drilling,
however, in borehole TB 5 at. 45.0 and 50.0 feet, the sample
was moist to very moist.
LABORATORY TESTING
Samples have been classified following the procedures
outlined in-ASTM D 2487/83, (page 403-407: ASTM 86 volume
4.08), "Classification of Soils for F.noineering Purposes."
using the Unified Soil Classification System. Soils are
described in the boring logs using the methods prescribed
in ASTM D 2488, "Description of Soils (Visual Manual
Procedure)," using the Munsell Soil Color Chart., published
by Macbeth Division of Kollmorgen Corporation, Baltimore,
Maryland, 1975 Edition.
Soil samples which indicated maximum plasticity
characteristics were selected for AtterberA Limit tests by
the procedure outlined in ASTM 0 4318. Percentages by

weight of material passing sieve 9200 were determined by
ASTM D 1140 for selected samples. Soil samples which
indicated very little or no plasticity characteristics were
selected for Particle Size Analysis by the procedure outlined
in ASTM D422. Unconfined compressive strength of core sample
was determined in accordance with ASTM D 2938.

GEOLOGY OF SITE
The Southeast Water Reclamation Plant is located along
the southwest edge of North Fork and the pipeline extends
from the plant to the City's Terminal Reservoir Storage
Facility to the east of the Plant.
The oldest sediments exposed at the site area are the

sands of the Ogallala (To) formation. Along the North Fork
the sediments are recent flood plain deposits (Qal) overlying
the Quaternary formation. However. the sediments exposed
within or immediate site and along the pipeline are Pleisto-
cene (Qcs) windblown sand which overlies the Quaternary
formation.
According to the General Soil Map of Lubbock County,
Texas the soil types encountered at the site could be
generally classified into:
a1 Amarillo Acuff series
b) Potter - Berda - Bippus series
The individual soil types encountered within these• series
are:
i) Amarillo fine sandy loam
ii) Estacado clay loam
iii) Arent and Pits
iv) Bippus fine sandy loam

SOIL PROPERTIES
The soil samples obtained were relatively cohesionless
which made obtaining undisturbed samples impossible. Also,
due to the nature of the soils, neither swell tests nor
consolidation tests were performed. The core samples
obtained were very fragmented, however, one sample was sal-
vaged for an unconfined compressive strength test.. The
results of sieve analysis and the unconfined compressive
strength test are as follows:
Particle size analysis results are included in the form

of curves (Figures 6a-e). The unconfined compressive
strength of the rock unit was determined to be:
q = 1,008,864 psf
RECOMMENDATIONS
Bearing Capacity of the Soil
It is our understanding that the proposed depth of
foundation for the various structures varies, and so is the
loading. The recommended gross allowable bearing values at
various depths for these structures are as follows:
Depth, ft. Allownble Brarina Value, p4f
2 1/2 30o0
5 3000
10 4000
15 6000
20 7000
25 8000
30 10,000
35 10,000
The above values are based on a safety factor of three
against ultimate bearing and on"a maximum total settlement of
one inch. Also, these values are based on a footing width of
2.0 feet.
11
ER RA
7,
Lateral Earth Pressure
The recommended lateral earth pressure coefficients for
design of substructure walls are:
ko = 0.55
ka = 0.27
Note: for drained condition
The average unit weight of the soils in the area could be
assumed to be 110 pcf. For submerged condition. it is rea-
sonable to assume an equivalent fluid pressure of 35 pet'.
Safe Slopes
The soils encountered at the plant are relativeiv dense
with cinPth and therefore. the re(-nmmended s Ic)ne fnr the
depths below 10 feet, is 1 /2 : 1 anti the soils above this no-ed
to be sloped using a 1:1 slope. However, along the pipeline
due to variations, it is recommended to use a 1:1 slope from
the bottom up. However, it' adverse conditions are
encountered during construction, it is recommended to call us
to re-evaluate the environment and soil conditions.
These recommendations are for temporary c»ts or
conditions. Also, it is recommended that a detail trench safety
system be developed prior to construction and that be certified
by a registered professional engineer.
Earthwork

Seismic Design ('ons_i.deration
The s e i sm i c-. risk map developed for the 4-ont erm i nott--
United States by S.T. Algermissen of NoW s Fnv s ronmentn I
Research Laboratories divides the U.S. into four zone types.
Lubbock is located in a Zone 1 in which snme minor earthquake
damage is possible (Figure 4). The risk map is generalized
from data of the historical occurrence of earthquakes: no
earthquake is known to have occurred closer than about ?=i
miles from Lubbock. This area has little or no historical
seismicity due to fault slip. The Texas Tech University
Observatory has been in continuous operation since 1956 and
no natural earthquake closer than about 75 miles has been
recorded.
It must be concluded that seismic risk. in the Lubbock
area of the Texas South Plains from natural earthquakes is
13
TERRA ENGINEERS, IN,
very small, approaching zero. The horizontal acceleration
associated with possible earthquakes'is below 0.04 R with a
90 percent probability of not being exceeded in 50 years
(Figure 5). Thus, the expected ground motions would be of
marginal interest with respect to long-term operation of the
facility.
Settlement
Due to the nature of the soils encountered, it is
anticipated that most of the settlement would be immediate.
Also, even though the potential for differential settlement
exists, the magnitude may not be significant and would depend
on the magnitude of the loads.
Tt is recommended t.hnt the subgrade beneath Coot.ings be
compacted to at least 95% of their maximum dry density
determined in accordance with ASTM D698. If the footings are
over excavated (incidentally), it is recommended to recompact
the backfill to bring it to grade or compact the subgrade
and backfill with a lean mix (1500 psi concrete).
Expansive Soils
The soils encountered are non to medium plastic in
nature and therefore will exhibit some shrink/swell characte-
ristics when exposed to excess moisture. Due to the nature
of the soils, adequate drainage shall be provided to keep the
excess moisture away from the foundation subgrade (sloping the
soils away, french drain etc.), as this could be detrimental to
the insitu strength of the soils.
14
TERR
Corrosivity of Soils
In order to determine the corrosivity of the soils,
conductivity tests were performed, the results of which
ranged from 0.7 to 3.0 mmhos/cm, indicating that the soils
are not corrosive. However, it is recommended to use some
kind of corrosion protection for the pipes and other equip-
ment that would come in direct contact with the soils. If
needed, the type and extent of protection needs to be deter-
mined by professionals with expertise in providing such
protection.
The above recommendations are based on the soil samples
collected from the twenty three holes as directed by the
client. If during excavation any weak spot or possible fill
is located, please call us.

rials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and

and/or repair, including painting and decorating, of a public
�- building or public work, or building or work financed in whole
or in part with Federal funds through the State Revolving Fund
(SRF). The definitions contained in 29 CFR 5.1 for the terms;
labor standards, laborer/mechanic, apprentice, trainee, wages,
r` and wage decision shall apply to this section,
(1) Minimum Wages.
(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the
site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not
less often than once a week, and without subsequent
`
deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll
t
deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the
Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act ((29 CFR Part
�-
3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe
benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of
"
payment computed at rates not less than those contained
in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which
is attached hereto and made a part hereof. regardless of
any contractual relationship which may be alleged to
exist between the Contractor and such laborers and
.�
mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anti-
cipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)
`
(2) of the Davis -Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or
mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or
mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1)(iv)
l
of this subsection; also, regular contributions made or
costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not
{r-•
less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or
N
programs which cover the particular weekly period, are
deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such
weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid
the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage
F
determination for the classification of work actually
performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in
�...
paragraph (4) of this subsection. Laborers or mechanics
performing work in more than one classification may be
compensated at the rate specified for each classification
for the time actually worked therein: PROVIDED, that the
r
employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time
spent in each classification in which work is performed.
The wage determination (including any additional classi-
fication and wage rates conformed under paragraph (1)(ii)
'.
of this subsection) and the Davis -Bacon poster (WH-1321)
shall be posted at all times by the Contractor and its
subcontractor at the site of the work in a prominent and

r
f
accessible place where it can be easily seen by the
workers.
(ii) (A) The Owner and Contractor agree that any class of
laborers or mechanics which is not listed in the
wage determination and which is to be employed
under the contract shall be classified in conform-
ance with the wage determination. The Contractor
shall immediately examine the wage determinations
to determine if additional classifications and
basic hourly rates are required and advise the
Owner if additional classifications are needed.
The TWDB shall approve an additional classifica-
tion and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore
only when the following criteria have been met:
(I) The work to be performed by the classi-
fication requested is not performed by a
classification in the wage determination;
and
(II) The classification is utilized in the area
by the construction industry; and
(III) The proposed wage rate, including any bona
fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable
relationship to the wage rates contained
in the wage determination.
(B) If the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics to
be employed in the classification (if known), or
their representatives, and the Owner agree on the
classification and wage rate (including the amount
designated for fringe benefits where appropriate),
a report of the action taken shall be sent by the
Owner, to the TWDB for processing to the Adminis-
trator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment
Standards Administration (W&H, ESA), U.S. Depart-
ment of Labor, Washington, D.C. 20210. The W&H,
ESA Administrator, or an authorized representative,
will approve, modify, or disapprove every addi-
tional classification action within 30 days of
receipt and so advise the owner, through the TWDB,
or will notify the TWDB within the 30 day period
that additional time is necessary.
(C) In the event the Contractor, the laborers or
mechanics to be employed in the classification or
their representatives, the owner, and the TWDB do
not agree on the proposed classification and wage
rate (including the amount designated for fringe
benefits, where appropriate), the TWDB shall refer

(CONTRACT 1 )
(17578 )
SC-8
the questions, including the views of all
interested parties and the recommendation of the
TWDB to the Administrator W&H, ESA for determina-
tion. The Administrator W&H, ESA, or an authorized
representative, will issue a determination within
r•- 30 days of receipt and so advise the owner, through
f the TWDB, or will notify the TWDB within the 30-day
period that additional time is necessary.
r` (D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where
appropriate) determined pursuant to subparagraph
(B) or (C) of this paragraph shall be paid to all
workers performing work in the classification under
this contract from the first day on which work is
performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in
the contract for a class of laborers or
mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is
�.
not expressed as an hourly rate, the Contractor
3
shall either pay the benefit as stated in the
wage determination or shall pay another bona
fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equi-
valent thereof.
(iv) If the Contractor does not make payments to a
trustee or other third person, the Contractor
may consider as part of the wages of any
laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide
F_
fringe benefits under a plan or program,
3
PROVIDED, That the Secretary of LILbor has
found, upon the written request of the Con-
tractor, that the applicable standards of the
Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary
of Labor may require the Contractor to set
aside in a separate account assets for the
i-
meeting of obligations under the plan or
program.
�.,
(2) Withholding. The TWDB shall upon its own action or upon
written request of an authorized representative of the
Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from
the Contractor under this contract or any other SRF
Federally funded contract with the same prime Contractor,
so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be
considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics,
�..
including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by
the Contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of
wages required by the contract. In the event of failure
to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice,
r
trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of
(LUBBOCK, TEXAS )
(36 INCH EFFLUENT PIPELINE)
(CONTRACT 1 )
(17578 ) SC-9
the work, all or part of the wages required by the
contract, the TWDB may, after written notice to the
Contractor or Owner, take such action as may be necessary
to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance,
or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.
(3) Payroll and Basic Records.
(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be
maintained by the Contractor during the course of the
work and preserved for a period of three years there-
after for all laborers and mechanics working at the site
of the work. Such records shall contain the name,
address, and Social Security Number of each such worker,
his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages
paid (including rates of contributions or costs antici-
pated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents
thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of
the Davis -Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours
worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever
the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)
(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include
the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in pro-
viding benefits under a plan or program described in
section l(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act, the Contractor
shall maintain records which show that the commitment to
provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or
program is financially responsible, and that the plan or
program has been communicated in writing to the laborers
or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs
anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such
benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees
under approved programs shall maintain written evidence
of the registration of apprenticeship programs and
.certification of trainee programs, the registration of
apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates
prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii) (A) The Contractor shall submit weekly for each week in
which any contract work is performed a copy of all
payrolls to the Owner. The payrolls submitted
shall set out accurately and completely all of the
information required to be maintained under section
5.5(a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR Part 5. This
information may be submitted in any form desired.
Optional Form 347 is available for this purpose and
may be purchased from the Superintendent of Docu-
ments (Federal Stock Number 029-005-00014-1), U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
The prime Contractor is responsible for the submis-
sion of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors.

r "Statement of Compliance," signed by the Contractor
or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or
f supervises the payment of the persons employed
under the contract and shall certify the following:
j (I) That the payroll for the payroll period
contains the information required to be main-
tained under section 5.5(a)(3)(i) of 29 CFR
Part 5 and that such information is correct and
complete;
(II) That each laborer or mechanic (including each
helper, apprentice and trainee) employed on the
contract during the payroll period has been
paid the full weekly wages earned, without
rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that
no deductions have been made either directly or
indirectly from the full wages earned, other
than permissible deductions as set forth in
Regulations, 29 CFR Part 3;
(III) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid
not less than the applicable wage rates and
fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the
classification of work performed, as specified
in the applicable wage determination incorpora-
ted into the contract.
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certi-
fication set forth on the reverse side of Optional
Form 347 shall satisfy the requirement for submis-
sion of the "Statement of Compliance" required by
paragraph (3)(ii)(B) of this subsection.
(D) The falsification of any of the above certifica-
tions may subject the Contractor or subcontractor
to civil or criminal prosecution under Section 1001
of Title 18 and Section 231 of Title 31 of the
United State Code.
(iii) The Contractor or subcontractor shall make the
records required under paragraph (3)(1) of this
subsection available for inspection, copying, or
transcription by authorized representatives of the
TWDB, or the Department of Labor, and shall permit
such representatives to interview employees during
working hours on the job. If the Contractor or
subcontractor fails to submit the required records
or to make them available, the TWDB may. after
written notice to the Contractor, sponsor, appli-
cant, or owner, take such action as may be neces-
(LUBBOCK, TEXAS )
(36 INCH EFFLUENT PIPELINE)
(CONTRACT 1 )
(17578 ) SC-11
sary to cause the suspension of any further
payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Further-
more, failure to submit the required records upon
request or to make such records available may be
grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR
5.12.
(4) Apprentices and Trainees.
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at
less than the predetermined rate for the work they per-
formed when they are employed pursuant to and individu-
ally registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program
registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment
and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship
and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency
recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in
his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an
apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not
individually registered in the program, but who has been
certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or
a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be
eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice.
The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the
job site in any craft classification shall not be greater
than the ratio permitted to the Contractor as to entire
work force under the registered program. Any worker
listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is
not registered or otherwise employed as stated above,
shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on
the wage determination for the classification of work
actually performed. In addition, any apprentice
performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio
permitted under the registered program shall be paid not
less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determi-
nation for the work actually performed. Where a Contrac-
tor is performing construction on a project in a locality
other than that in which its program is registered, the
ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the
journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the Contractor's
or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed.
Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate
specified in the registered program for the apprentice's
level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the
journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage
determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits
in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship
program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify
fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount
of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for
the applicable classification. If the Administrator W&H,
ESA determines that a different practice prevails for the
(LUBBOCK, TEAS )
(36 INCH EFFLUENT PIPELINE)
(CONTRACT 1 )
(17578 ) SC-12
r
applicable apprentice classification. fringes shall be
�.,
paid in accordance with that determination. In the event
the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws
approval of an apprenticeship program, the Contractor
will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at
less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work
performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees
will not be permitted to work at less than the predeter-
mined rate for the work performed unless they are
r
employed pursuant to and individually registered in a
program which has received prior approval, evidenced by
formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor,
Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of
trainees to journeymen of the job site shall not be
greater than permitted under the plan approved by the
Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee
7
must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the
approved program for the trainee's level of progress,
expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate
r-
specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees
shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the
provision of the trainee program. If the trainee program
does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid
"
the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage
determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and
Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship
,..
program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage
rate on the wage determination which providers for less
than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee
listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not
r
registered and participating in a training plan approved
by the Employment and Training Administration shall be
paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually
I
performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on
the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the
registered program shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the
work actually performed. In the event the Employment and
Training Administration withdraws approval of a training
program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to
utilize trainees at less than the applicable predeter-
mined rate for the work performed until an acceptable
program is approved.
(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The Utilization of
apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part
r-
shall be in conformity with the equal employment

i
opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as
amended, and 29 CFR Part 30.
(5) Compliance with Copeland Act Requirements. The Contractor
shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR Part 3, which are
incorporated by reference in this contract.
(6) Contract Termination: Debarment. A breach of the contract
clauses in this section may be grounds for termination of the
contract, and for debarment as a Contractor and a subcontrac-
tor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
(7) Compliance with Davis -Bacon and Related Act Requirements.
All rulings and interpretations of the Davis -Bacon and Related
Acts contained in 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein
incorporated by reference in this contract.
(8) Disputes Concerning Labor Standards. Disputes arising out of
the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be
subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such
disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures
of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6, and
7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include
disputes between the Contractor (or any of its subcontractors)
and the Owner, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees
or their representatives.
