Questions & Answers
1). Door 102B in the door schedule on A-601 has a remark calling for it to be bullet resistant.
There are no BR door specs, in the openings spec section (08000). Can you please clarify?
"Door 102B and frame to carry a UL level 4 bullet resistant rating per door schedule."
2). Window 430 at the Public Counter on A-211, Detail C3 shows an open space. Is this a package
passer? There is a mention of package passer in the spec (sec. 08 56 59, p 2, para 2.2 G). But no
true description in the drawings or specs. Can you please clarify?
"Keynote `430' calls out "BALLISTIC WINDOW W/ PASS THROUGH". The pass through is a
package passer, per spec section called out above."
3). Spec Hollow Metal Window with Bullet Resistant Transaction Frame Package Receiver (sec
08 56 59, p2, para 2.2) line C: Window Type: Stainless Steel Ballistic Transaction Window. Line
C #5: Material Hollow Metal, Primed.
Can you please clarify what type of material you would like the frame to be made out of prime
painted carbon steel or Stainless Steel?
"Primed carbon steel."
4) Looks like the DNA Fusion is just Mercury boards. Will customer accept iPro Monitor Cast
(Video Insight Integrated Access) — they are Mercury too
"Request for substitutions must be submitted as per Section 0125 00 Substitution Procedures."
5) Is there a missing drawing T-002 site plan that is mentioned on T-001?
"Sheet T-002 Site Plan is attached herein."
6) It appears that M100, the Mechanical Floor Plan is missing from the plan set. Can this please
be provided?
"Sheet M-100 Mechanical Floor Plan is included in the drawing set and attached herein."
7) Will alternates be accepted for Termite Control? A potential pest control company bidding the
project recommends Bayer Premise Pre -Construction as a cost-effective non -repellant technology
(like Termidor), which is what they recommend on new construction due to the long residual
protection provided.
"Request for substitutions must be submitted as per Section 0125 00 Substitution Procedures."
8) Can you please confirm the insulation requirements (R-values) for the PEMB roof and walls?
"Refer to sheet G-101: Building Envelope Requirements."
9) Is the Wood laboratory casework only to be supplied in areas shown on A4/A-401 Enlarged
Floor plan and plastic laminate clad cabinets elsewhere? And the reason I ask is the details for all
the casework shown on A-330 doesn't call out either Plastic Laminate millwork or Laboratory
Wood Casework. I can assume that is what they want but it's not real clear that I can tell.
"Processing Lab 170, Powder 174, and Alternative Light Source 175 are the only rooms to receive
Laboratory Casework. PLAM cabinets everywhere else."
10) Also there really is only a schedule called interior Material Legend, but) it does not clearly say
what is Laboratory casework LC1, which is not designated on the floor plans or elevations
anywhere that I can see other than an astute guess.
"Processing Lab 170, Powder 174, and Alternative Light Source 175 are the only rooms to receive
LC 1."
11) Does the chem resin tops go only in labs locations (A4/A-401) and the Quartz surfaces go
everywhere else?
"Processing Lab 170, Powder 174, and Alternative Light Source 175 are the only rooms to receive
LC 1 with the chem resin tops. All other countertops in the building shall be Quartz."
12) In the Contractor's Project Experience and Resources form there is no mention of Attachment
B. However, there is a Project Information Form (Attachment B) provided. Are we required to
submit an Attachment B including our Current and past projects in the past 10 or 5 years?
"Yes, please complete Attachment B in the contractor's qualification."
13) Sec 28 35 25 Fire Alarm, the specs call for a fire alarm system with voice evac. Being that the
occupancy is a B/A3 and an occupancy load of 143, voice evac is not required will a general fire
alarm system (Horn strobes/strobes) be accepted?
"No."
14) If this project is to be with Voice Evac, this section mentions to provide a fire evacuation
message and tornado message. Will this be a mass notification system?
"It will have two prerecorded message (1 fire and 1 Tornado activated by a specific pull
station)."
15) See 28 35 25 Fire Alarm, the specs call for a fire alarm system with voice evac. Being that the
occupancy is a B/A3 and an occupancy load of 143, voice evac is not required will a general fire
alarm system (Horn strobes/strobes) be accepted?
"No."
16) If this project is to be with Voice Evac, Section 28 35 25 Part 2.3 D.3 mentions to provide a
fire evacuation message and tornado message. Will this be a mass notification system?
"It will have two prerecorded message (1 fire and 1 Tornado activated by a specific pull
station)."
17) Will Impact and Permit Fees be waived for this project?
"A permit is required but all permit, plan review and impact fees will be waived."
18) Will Lab Testing be by owner?
"Testing and inspection services are specified in Section 0140 00 Quality Requirements."
19) Will any additional or revised sheets be issued? Specifically, there appears to be some missing
information on a few details in Sheet S-511.
"Due to a printing error, Sheets S-501 & S-511 are attached herein."
20) Sec 10 56 26 - Mobile Storage Units This section of the Project Manual refers to Mobile
Storage Units. We are unable to locate these in the plans, is this something that will be included in
the scope? If so, please provide drawings and location.
"Mobile Storage Units and surface mount rail system drawings will be issued and bid separately
at a later date."
21) My question is, would you please inform me of all the General Contractors that are currently
bidding this project so I may submit my bid to them? Please feel free to call me with any
questions you may have, im in the office between 6am to 4pm.

Additional Questions and Answers
We were just turned on to this project by one of the specified manufacturer's on this project. I noticed that
the questions deadline has pasted but there was not a single question asked about the fencing on the project.
There are many different items that need to be addressed on this project with the fencing. If you could get
any of the following answered, it would be greatly appreciated.
1.) There were no written specifications for any of the fencing (both interior or exterior). Can these be
provided? SI will be issued to clarify the specifications for the chainlink fencing.
2.) Sheet CS101, note 11 calls out for a HySecurity S1ideDriver 15 but there are no written specifications to
state what all options is required for this gate operator. Can a spec sheet be provided for what all needs to
come with this gate operator? \... SI will be issued to clarify the requirements for the Slidedriver gate
operator as attached....
3.) Sheet CS101, note 14 calls out for a 4' pedestrian gate (see detail CS502). The gate detail shows a chain
link gate. However, there are 2 pedestrian gates in the ornamental fence line. Should the gate match the
type of fence that it is being placed in? ... Yes, SI will be provided to clarify the gates shall match the type of
fence in which they are placed.
4.) The chain link on the southeast side of the building has a cut that references E3/CS501. This referenced
detail does not shown anything on the fencing on if it needs to be set in concrete footing or come as a
plated design. Is this the correct detail to be referenced? ... SI will be issued to clarify that the fencing is to
be placed in concrete footing within the thickened edge of the concrete sidewalk.
5.) Sheet CS101, shows most of the fencing to come with a ribbon curb note 7 (see detail C3/CS501). This
detail does not show the fencing in it. Should the fencing be a plated post design or a concrete footing
below the ribbon curb? SI will be issued to clarify all fencing on this project is to be placed with concrete
footing...
6.) Sheet CS502, detail B2 shows the 9' tall chain link fence with no bracing. Normally a 9' tall fence, you
would either have a middle rail and/or a bottom rail. Should there be more than just a top rail on this
fencing? SI will be issued to clarify 9' chainlink fence shall include x-bracing at all terminal posts only as
shown in details...
7.) Sheet CS502, detail B6 shows the 9' tall chain link fence with 2 3/8" OD posts. On this height of fence,
you would normally have a 2 7/8" OD sch 40 posts (3.65 lbs/ft) or even a 4" OD sch 40 posts (9.11 lbs/ft).
The 2 3/8" OD post may be too light to handle the windload especially in a windy environment. Should
these line post size change to a larger size? SI will be issued to clarify post size of 2-7/8" OD sch 40...
8.) Sheet CS502, detail B5 calls out for a 4" OD post (3.654 lbs/ft). The size of a 4" OD sch 40 post would
be 9.11 lbs./ft. or a 4" OD SS 40 post would be 6.56 lbs ft. The only pipe that weighs 3.65 lbs./ft. is a 2 3/8"
OD sch 40 post. This 2 3/8" OD sch 40 post would be too light for this height of fence. Is the weight wrong
on this detail? SI will be issued to clarify the 4" OD post of Sch 40 material (9.11 lbs./ft)...
9. Sheet CS502, detail B4 shows a standard 4' walk gate. Is there any type of specialty hardware required
on these gates such as panic bars or mag locks, etc.? I did not see anything listed in the door hardware
schedule for these gates. SI will be issued to clarify that all pedestrian gates shall have panic bars...
10. Is the chain link fence to be black vinyl coated or galvanized? SI will be issued to clarify that all
chainlink fencing is to be galvanized... no coating is required...
11. Sheet CS503, details call out both a 2 rail and a 3 rail fence. Ameristar will only make the 10' Trident in
either a 3 or 4 rail. How many horizontal rails are required: 3 or 4? SI will be issued to clarify a 3-rail
system for the Ameristar fencing....
12. What color of fencing is required for the ornamental fence? Black is the standard color and everything
else requires an upcharge. SI will be issued to clarify ornamental fencing shall be Black
13. Sheet A-121, rooms 220-223 call out per note 210 for MTL Chain Link Fence. There is an elevation on
sheet A-212 detail B5 that shows this fencing. I cannot locate any specifications on this metal chain link
fence. Is this truly chain link fencing or should this be some type of metal partition? SI will be issued to
clarify material inside building as specified by the Architect of Record.
14. Sheet A-121, rooms 221, 222, and 223 show a gate/door. This gate/door is not listed in the door
hardware schedule. What type of gate hardware is required with these gates/doors? SI will be issued to
clarify material inside building as specified by the Architect of Record.
15. Addendum 2 for the new Lubbock Forensic/Property Facility updated sheet S501 and S511. It added
several new pages that are not referenced on S 121 or other sheets. Please update S 121 to show where the
changes occur. Thank you. Please see updated I I 1 and 121 attached.
16. The "IWB" Interactive Whiteboard - Smartboard MX265 did not have a display wall mount listed in
the specs. Does this need to be a Smart WallStand or a regular Peerless Wall Mount model like the other
flat panel displays? A regular Peerless Wall Mount model like the other flat panel displays
17. With the current backorder status of the specified Crestron equipment being up to one year for certain
components, would Extron be an acceptable substitution? Bid as specified using Crestron solution.

4. BASIS OF PROPOSALS AND SELECTION CRITERIA
4.1 The City uses the Competitive Sealed Proposals procurement method as authorized by the Texas
Legislature and further defined by Texas Government Code Section 2269. The Maximum Point value is
equal to 100 points. The weight factor is 60 points for Price, 30 points for Contractor Qualifications, and
10 points for Construction Time. The selection criteria used to evaluate each proposal includes the
following:
4.1.1 60 POINTS - PRICE: The quality of Offerors is not judged solely by a low initial cost proposal
or, conversely, eliminated solely because of a high initial cost proposal. The following is the
formula used when determining price as a factor for construction contract proposals. The lowest
proposal price of all the proposals becomes the standard by which all price proposals are
evaluated. One at a time, each proposal is evaluated by taking the lowest proposal price and
dividing it by the price of the proposal being evaluated. That fraction is then multiplied by the
maximum point value of the price factor for the price score. For Example: (Lowest Price/Current
Proposal Price) x Maximum Point Value = Price Score.
4.1.2 30 POINTS - CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATIONS: When evaluating a contractor's
qualifications, the City uses the "Contractor's Statement of Qualifications" attached within, past
experience with the contractor, the "Safety Record Questionnaire", and the Contractor's
Experience Modification Ratio (EMR). The City may also interview the job superintendent at a
time to be named after receipt of proposals.
4.1.3 Five (5) points of the overall points for this criteria are based on the Experience Modification
Ration (EMR) and supporting documentation submitted by the contractor.
4.1.3.1 The lowest EMR of all the proposals becomes the standard by which all the EMRs are
evaluated. One at a time, each proposal is evaluated by taking the lowest EMR and
dividing it by the EMR of the proposal being evaluated. That fraction is then multiplied
by 5 for the EMR score. For example: (Lowest EMR/Current EMR) x 5 = EMR Score
portion of this criteria)
4.1.3.2 Contractors with an EMR greater than 1.0, as well as those Contractors not
submitting EMRs, will receive zero points for this portion of the selection criteria.
4.1.4 For the remaining portion of this criteria, each evaluator assigns points based upon the responses
the contractor provides in the "Contractor's Statement of Qualifications", any past experience
with the contractor, and on safety record information submitted. The City may consider any
incidence involving worker safety or safety of Lubbock residents, be it related or caused by
environmental, mechanical, operational, supervision or any other cause or factor under the
contractor's control. Evaluators base their rating primarily upon how well you document previous
offenses with the date of the offense, location where the offense occurred, type of offense, final
disposition of the offense, and any penalty assessed
4.1.5 The "Contractor's Statement of Qualifications" is a minimum.
4.1.5.1 You may provide additional pertinent information relevant to the project for which you
are submitting this proposal in an appendix.
4.1.6 10 POINTS - CONSTRUCTION TIME: This criterion is, as with price, objective and
evaluators use the following formula when determining construction time as a factor for
construction contract proposals. The lowest construction time proposal of all the proposals
becomes the standard by which all the construction time proposals are evaluated. One at a time,
each proposal is evaluated by taking the lowest construction time and dividing it by the
construction time of the proposal being evaluated. That fraction is then multiplied by the
maximum point value of the construction time factor for the construction time score. For example:
(Lowest construction time/Current Proposal construction time) x Maximum Point Value =
Construction Time Score)
4.1.7 EVALUATION PROCESS: Evaluators independently review and score each proposal. The
Committee meets, to discuss the individual scores of each evaluator. If the individual scores are
similar, the Chairperson may average the scores then rank offerors accordingly. If the scores are
significantly diverse, the Chairperson initiates and moderates discussion to determine the reasons
for the differences and ensures that all evaluators are fully knowledgeable of all aspects of the
proposals. Scores may then be adjusted by the committee based on committee discussion.
4.1.8 Please note that offerors with higher qualifications scores could be ranked higher than offerors
with slightly better price scores.
4.2 The estimated budget for the construction phase of this project is $8,000,000.00.
4.3 Proposals shall be made using the forms provided.

noted in the Notice to Offerors.

17. MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP
17.1 The intent of these contract documents is that only materials and workmanship of the best quality and
grade will be furnished. The fact that the specifications may fail to be sufficiently complete in some
detail will not relieve the Contractor of full responsibility for providing materials of high quality and for
protecting them adequately until incorporated into the project. The presence or absence of a
representative of the City on the site will not relieve the Contractor of full responsibility of complying
with this provision. The specifications for materials and methods set forth in the contract documents

project.

not paid for such work, until the date the City issues its certificate of completion to Contractor. The City
reserves the right, after the proposals have been opened and before the contract has been awarded, to
require of an offeror the following information:
(a) The experience record of the offeror showing completed jobs of a similar nature to the one
covered by the intended contract and all work in progress with bond amounts and percentage
completed.
(b) A sworn statement of the current financial condition of the offeror.
(c) Equipment schedule.

20.1 This contract is issued by an organization which qualifies for exemption provisions pursuant to provisions
of Article 20.04 of the Texas Limited Sales, Excise and Use Tax Act.
20.2 The Contractor must obtain a limited sales, excise and use tax permit which shall enable him to buy the
materials to be incorporated into the work without paying the tax at the time of purchase.
21. PROTECTION OF SUBSURFACE LINES AND STRUCTURES
2 1. 1 It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to prosecute the work contemplated by the contract documents
in such a way as to exercise due care to locate and prevent damage to all underground pipelines, utility
lines, conduits or other underground structures which might or could be damaged by Contractor during
the construction of the project contemplated by these contract documents. The City of Lubbock agrees
that it will furnish Contractor the location of all such underground lines and utilities of which it has
knowledge. However, such fact shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibilities aforementioned.
All such underground lines or structures, both known and unknown, cut or damaged by Contractor during
the prosecution of the work contemplated by this contract shall be repaired immediately by Contractor
to the satisfaction of the City of Lubbock, Texas, and/or the owning utility at the Contractor's expense.
22. BARRICADES AND SAFETY MEASURES
22.1 The contractor shall, at his own expense, furnish and erect such barricades, fences, lights and danger
signals, and shall take such other precautionary measures for the protection of persons, property and the
work as may be necessary. The Contractor will be held responsible for all damage to the work due to
failure of barricades, signs, and lights to protect it, and when damage is incurred, the damaged portion
shall be immediately removed and replaced by Contractor at his own cost and expense. The Contractor's
responsibility for maintenance of barricades, signs, and lights shall not cease until the date of issuance to
Contractor of City's certificate of acceptance of the project.
23. EXPLOSIVES
23.1 The use of explosives will not be permitted
23.2 Explosive materials shall not be stored or kept at the construction site by the Contractor.

24.1 The successful offeror shall be required to have a responsible local representative available at all times
while the work is in progress under this contract. The successful offeror shall be required to furnish the
name, address and telephone number where such local representative may be reached during the time
that the work contemplated by this contract is in progress.
25. INSURANCE
25.1 The Contractor shall not commence work under this contract until he has obtained all insurance as
required in the General Conditions of the contract documents, from an underwriter authorized to do
business in the State of Texas and satisfactory to the City. Proof of coverage shall be furnished to the
City and written notice of cancellation or any material change will be provided ten (10) days in advance
of cancellation or change. All policies shall contain an agreement on the part of the insurer waiving the
right to subrogation. The Contractor shall procure and carry at his sole cost and expense through the life
of this contract, insurance protection as hereinafter specified. Coverage in excess of that specified herein
also shall be acceptable. Such insurance shall be carried with an insurance company authorized to
transact business in the State of Texas and shall cover all operations in connection with this contract,

the operation of each subcontractor. A certificate of insurance specifying each and all coverages shall be
submitted before contract execution.

The offeror's attention is further directed to the requirements of Texas Government Code, Chapter 2258,
Prevailing Wage Rates, providing for the payment of the wage schedules above mentioned and the
offeror's obligations thereunder. The inclusion of the schedule of general prevailing rate of per diem
wages in the contract documents does not release the Contractor from compliance with any wage law
that may be applicable. Construction work under this contract requiring an inspector will not be
performed on Sundays or holidays unless the following conditions exist:
26.1.1 The project being constructed is essential to the City of Lubbock's ability to provide the necessary
service to its citizens.

approaching the penalty provisions of the contract and Contractor can show he has made a diligent
effort to complete the contract within the allotted time.
26.2 Before construction work requiring an inspector is to be performed on Sundays or holidays, the
Contractor must notify the Owner's Representative not less than three full working days prior to the
weekend or holiday he desires to do work and obtain written permission from the Owner's Representative
to do such work. The final decision on whether to allow construction work requiring an inspector on
Sundays or holidays will be made by the Owner's Representative.
26.3 In any event, if a condition should occur or arise at the site of this project or from the work being done
under this contract which is hazardous or dangerous to property or life, the Contractor shall immediately
commence work, regardless of the day of the week or the time of day, to correct or alleviate such
condition so that it is no longer dangerous to property or life.
27. PAYMENT OF EMPLOYEES AND FILING OF PAYROLLS
27.1 The contractor and each of his subcontractors shall pay each of his employees engaged in work on the
project under this contract in full (less mandatory legal deductions) in cash, or by check readily cashable
without discount, not less often than once each week. The Contractor and each of his subcontractors
shall keep a record showing the name and occupation of each worker employed by the Contractor
or subcontractor in the construction of the public work and the actual per diem wages paid to each
worker. This record shall be open at all reasonable hours to inspection by the officers and agents
of the City. The Contractor must classify employees according to one of the classifications set forth in
the schedule of general prevailing rate of per diem wages, which schedule is included in the contract
documents. The Contractor shall forfeit as a penalty to the City of Lubbock on whose behalf this contract
is made, sixty dollars for each laborer, workman, or mechanic employed for each calendar day, or portion
thereof, such laborer, workman or mechanic is paid less than the wages assigned to his particular
classification as set forth in the schedule of general prevailing rate of per diem wages included in these
contract documents.
28. PROVISIONS CONCERNING ESCALATION CLAUSES

SAFETY RECORD QUESTIONNAIRE
The Lubbock County Commissioner's Court desires to avail itself of the benefits of Section 262.0275 of the Local
Government Code, and consider the safety records of potential contractors prior to awarding proposals on
County contracts. Pursuant to Section 262.0275 of the Local Government Code, Lubbock County has adopted the
following written definition and criteria for accurately determining the safety record of a proposer prior to
awarding proposals on County contracts.
The definition and criteria for determining the safety record of a proposer for this consideration shall be:
Lubbock County shall consider the safety record of the offerors in determining the responsibility thereof. The
County may consider any incidence involving worker safety or safety of the citizens of Lubbock County, be it related
or caused by environmental, mechanical, operational, supervision or any other cause or factor. Specifically, the
County may consider, among other things:
a. Complaints to, or final orders entered by, the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission
(OSHRC), against the proposer for violations of OSHA regulations within the past three (3) years.
b. Citations (as defined below) from an Environmental Protection Agency (as defined below) for violations
within the past five (5) years. Environmental Protection Agencies include, but are not necessarily limited
to, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the
Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) (predecessor to the TCEQ), the Texas
Department of State Health Services (DSHS), the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), the
Structural Pest Control Board (SPCB), agencies of local governments responsible for enforcing
environmental protection or worker safety related laws or regulations, and similar regulatory agencies
of other states of the United States. Citations include notices of violation, notices of enforcement,
suspension/revocations of state or federal licenses or registrations, fines assessed, pending criminal
complaints, indictments, or convictions, administrative orders, draft orders, final orders, and judicial final
judgments.
C. Convictions of a criminal offense within the past ten (10) years, which resulted in bodily harm or death.
d. Any other safety related matter deemed by the Commissioners Court to be material in determining the
responsibility of the offeror and his or her ability to perform the services or goods required by the
proposal documents in a safe environment, both for the workers and other employees of offeror and the
citizens of Lubbock County.
In order to obtain proper information from offerors so that Lubbock County may consider the safety records of
potential contractors prior to awarding proposals on County contracts, Lubbock County requires that offerors
answer the following four (4) questions and submit them with their proposals:
QUESTION ONE
Has the offeror, or the firm, corporation, partnership, or institution represented by the offeror, or anyone acting
for such firm, corporation, partnership or institution, received citations for violations of OSHA within the past
three (3) years?
YES NO X
If the offeror has indicated YES for question number one above, the offeror must provide to Lubbock County,
with its proposal submission, the following information with respect to each such citation:
Date of offense, location of establishment inspected, category of offense, final disposition of offense, if any, and
penalty assessed.
_ ��Offeror'slnitials
QUESTION TWO
s
Has the offeror, or the firm, corporation, partnership, or institution represented by the offeror, or anyone acting
for such firm, corporation, partnership or institution, received citations for violations of environmental
protection laws or regulations, of any kind or type, within the past five years? Citations include notice of violation,
notice of enforcement, suspension/revocations of state or federal licenses, or registrations, fines assessed,
pending criminal complaints, indictments, or convictions, administrative orders, draft orders, final orders, and
judicial final judgments.
NO X
If the offeror has indicated YES for question number two above, the offeror must provide to Lubbock County,
with its proposal submission, the following information with respect to each such conviction:
Date of offense or occurrence, location where offense occurred, type of offense, final disposition of offense, if any,
and penalty assessed.
OUESTION THREE
Has the offeror, or the firm, corporation, partnership, or institution represented by offeror, or anyone acting for
such firm, corporation, partnership, or institution, ever been convicted, within the past ten (10) years, of a
criminal offense which resulted in serious bodily injury or death?
YES NO X
If the offeror has indicated YES for question number three above, the offeror must provide to Lubbock County,
with its proposal submission, the following information with respect to each such conviction:
Date of offense, location where offense occurred, type of offense, final disposition of offense, if any, and penalty
assessed.

Representative may reject any such work found to be defective or not in accordance with the contract documents,
regardless of the stage of its completion or the time or place of discovery of such errors and regardless of whether
Owner's Representative has previously accepted the work. If any such work should be covered without approval
or consent of the Owner, it must, if requested by Owner or Owner's Representative, be uncovered for examination
at Contractor's expense. In the event that any part of the work is being fabricated or manufactured at a location
where it is not convenient for Owner or Owner's Representative to make observations of such work or require

approvals shall be borne by the Contractor unless otherwise provided herein. Any work which fails to meet the
requirements of any such tests, inspections or approvals, and any work which meets the requirements of any such
tests or approvals but does not meet the requirements of the contract documents shall be considered defective, and
shall be corrected at the Contractor's expense.

Owner's Representative, or other persons authorized under the contract documents to make such inspections, tests,
or approvals shall relieve the Contractor ftom its obligation to perform the work in accordance with the requirements
of the contract documents.

It is expressly agreed that if the work or any part thereof, or any material brought on the site of the work for use in
the work or selected for the same, shall be deemed by the Owner or Owner's Representative as unsuitable or not in
conformity with plans, specifications and/or contract documents, the Contractor shall, after receipt of written notice
thereof from the Owner's Representative, forthwith remove such material and rebuild or otherwise remedy such
work so that it shall be in full accordance with the contract documents. It is further agreed that any remedial action
contemplated as hereinabove set forth shall be at Contractor's expense.

The Contractor further agrees that the Owner may make such changes and alterations as the Owner may see fit, in
the line, grade, form dimensions, plans or materials for the work herein contemplated, or any part thereof, either
before or after the beginning of the construction, without affecting the validity of this contract and the accompanying
bond.
If such changes or alterations diminish the quantity of the work to be done, they shall not constitute the basis for a
claim for damages, or anticipated profits on the work that may be dispensed with. If they increase the amount of
work, and the increased work can fairly be classified under the specifications, such increase shall be paid according
to the quantity actually done and at the unit price established for such work under this contract; otherwise such
additional work shall be paid for as provided under Extra Work. In case the Owner shall make such changes or
alterations as shall make useless any work already done or material already furnished or used in said work, then the
Owner shall recompense the Contractor for any material or labor so used, and for actual expenses incurred in
preparation for the work as originally planned.
24. EXTRA WORK
The term "extra work" as used in this contract shall be understood to mean and include all work that may be required
by the Owner or Owner's Representative to be done by the Contractor to accomplish any change, alteration or
addition to the work as shown on the plans and specifications or contract documents and not covered by Contractor's
proposal, except as provided under Changes and Alterations in Paragraph 23.
It is agreed that the Contractor shall perform all extra work under the observation of the Owner's Representative
when presented with a written work order signed by the Owner's Representative; subject, however, to the right of
the Contractor to require written confirmation of such extra work order by the Owner. It is also agreed that the
compensation to be paid to the Contractor for performing said extra work shall be determined by the following
methods:
Method (A) - By agreed unit prices; or
Method (B) - By agreed lump sum; or
Method (C) - If neither Method (A) or Method (B) be agreed upon before the extra work is commenced,
then the Contractor shall be paid the lesser of the following: (1) actual field cost of the
extra work, plus fifteen (15%) percent to the firm actually performing the work, and
additional higher -tier markups limited to 5% to cover additional overhead and insurance
costs; or (2) the amount that would have been charged by a reasonable and prudent
Contractor as a reasonable and necessary cost for performance of the extra work, as
estimated by the Engineer and approved by the Owner..
In the event said extra work be performed and paid for under Method (C)(1), then the provisions of this paragraph
shall apply and the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the cost of all workers, such as foremen,
timekeepers, mechanics and laborers, materials, supplies, teams, trucks, rentals on machinery and equipment, for
the time actually employed or used on such extra work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred,
together with all expenses incurred directly on account of such extra work, including Social Security, Old Age
Benefits, Maintenance Bonds, Public Liability and Property Damage and Workers' Compensation and all other
insurances as may be required by law or ordinances or directed by the Owner or Owner's Representative, or by them
agreed to. Owner's Representative may direct the form in which accounts of the actual field cost shall be kept and
records of these accounts shall be made available to the Owner's Representative. The Owner's Representative may
also specify in writing, before the work commences, the method of doing the work and the type and kind of
machinery and equipment to be used; otherwise, these matters shall be determined by the Contractor. Unless
otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be determined by using 100%,
unless otherwise specified, of the latest Schedule of Equipment and Ownership Expenses adopted by the Associated
General Contractors of America. Where practical, the terms and prices for the use of machinery and equipment
shall be incorporated in the written extra work order. The fifteen percent (15%) of the actual field cost to be paid
to Contractor shall cover and compensate Contractor for its profit, overhead, general superintendence and field
office expense, and all other elements of cost and expense not embraced within the actual field cost as herein
defined, save that where the Contractor's Camp or Field Office must be maintained primarily on account of such
Extra Work, then the cost to maintain and operate the same shall be included in the "actual field cost."
No claim for extra work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered in writing by Owner's Representative. In case
any orders or instructions appear to the Contractor to involve extra work for which Contractor should receive
compensation or an adjustment in the construction time, Contractor shall prior to commencement of such extra
work, make written request to the Owner's Representative for a written order authorizing such extra work. Should
a difference of opinion arise as to what does or does not constitute extra work or as to the payment therefore, and
the Owner's Representative insists upon its performance, the Contractor shall proceed with the work after making
written request for written order and shall keep adequate and accurate account of the actual field cost thereof, as
provided under Method (C) (1). If Contractor does not notify Owner's Representative before the commencement
of any extra work, any claim for payment due to alleged extra work shall be deemed waived.
25. DISCREPANCIES AND OMISSIONS
It is further agreed that it is the intent of the contract documents that all work described in the proposal, the
specifications, plans and other contract documents, is to be done for the prices quoted by the Contractor and that
such price shall include all appurtenances necessary to complete the work in accordance with the intent of these
contract documents as interpreted by Owner's Representative. Notices of any discrepancies or omissions in these
plans, specifications, or contract documents, shall be given to the Owners' Representative and a clarification
obtained before the proposals are received, and if no such notice is received by the Owner's Representative
prior to the opening of proposals, then it shall be deemed that the Contractor fully understands the work to
be included and has provided sufficient sums in its proposal to complete the work in accordance with these
plans and specifications. If Contractor does not notify Owner's Representative before offering of any
discrepancies or omissions, then it shall be deemed for all purposes that the plans and specifications are
sufficient and adequate for completion of the project. It is further agreed that any request for clarification
must be submitted no later than five (5) calendar days prior to the opening of proposals. In the absence of a
requested clarification for a conflict in the documents prior to proposals being reviewed, it will be assumed
that the Contractor proposes the higher cost alternative on conflicts identified after proposals are reviewed.
26. RIGHT OF OWNER TO MODIFY METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
If at any time the methods or equipment used by the Contractor are found to be inadequate to secure the quality of
work with the rate of progress required under this contract, the Owner or Owner's Representative may order the
Contractor in writing to increase their safety or improve their character and efficiency and the Contractor shall
comply with such order. If, at any time, the working force of the Contractor is inadequate for securing the progress
herein specified, the Contractor shall, if so ordered in writing, increase its force or equipment, or both, to such an
extent as to give reasonable assurance of compliance with the schedule of progress.

and/or causes of action, whether known or unknown, fixed, actual, accrued or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated,

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

within 10 days after the Contractor knew or should have known, of any change that materially
affects the provision of coverage of any person providing services on the project.
The Contractor shall post on each project site a notice, in the text, form and manner prescribed by
the Texas Workers' Compensation Commission, informing all persons providing services on the
project that they are required to be covered, and stating how a person may verify coverage and
report lack of coverage.
The Contractor shall contractually require each person with whom it contracts to provide services
on the project, to:
(a) provide coverage, based on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll amounts

G
not remedy the breach within ten days after receipt of notice of breach from the governmental
entity.

if the material or process specified or required by Owner and/or this contract is an infringement, the Contractor
shall be responsible for such loss unless it gives written notice of such infringement to the Owner's Representative
prior to offering.
32. LAWS AND ORDINANCES
The Contractor shall at all times observe and comply with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and
regulations, which in any manner affect the contract or the work, and without limiting, in any way, manner or form,

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

form, shall not (i) be utilized, in any way, manner or form, in the construction of, or incorporation into, the Project;
or (ii) be brought upon, placed, or located, by any party, on the Project site, or any other property of the City, without
the written consent of the Owner's Representative. If Contractor believes that the utilization of a Hazardous
Substance, hydrocarbons or other petroleum products or byproducts and/or asbestos is necessary in the construction
of the Project, or that it is necessary to place and/or otherwise locate upon the site of the Project or other property
of the City, a Hazardous Substance, hydrocarbons or other petroleum products or byproducts and/or asbestos,
Contractor shall notify the Owner's Representative, and request consent therefrom, at least twenty (20) days prior
to such action. Owner's Representative may grant or deny the request of Contractor and provide whatever
requirements such consent, if granted, is conditioned upon, in its sole and absolute discretion. If the request of
Contractor is not granted, or otherwise not responded to, by Owner's Representative within five (5) days of the
receipt of said request, said request shall be deemed to be denied.
In the event Owner's Representative shall consent to the request of Contractor, Contractor shall be responsible for
ensuring that all personnel involved in the Project are (i) trained for the level of expertise required for proper
performance of the actions contemplated by this Contract and, in particular, in all aspects of handling, storage,
disposal and exposure of Hazardous Substances, hydrocarbons or other petroleum products or byproducts and/or
asbestos; and (ii) are provided and utilize all protective equipment, including without limitation, personal protective
gear, necessary to provide protection from exposure to Hazardous Substances, hydrocarbons or other petroleum
products or byproducts and/or asbestos.
56. NONAPPROPRIATION
All funds for payment by the City under this contract are subject to the availability of an annual appropriation for
this purpose by the City. In the event of non -appropriation of funds by the City Council of the City of Lubbock for
the goods or services provided under the contract, the City will terminate the contract, without termination charge
or other liability, on the last day of the then -current fiscal year or when the appropriation made for the then -current
year for the goods or services covered by this contract is spent, whichever event occurs first. If at any time funds
are not appropriated for the continuance of this contract, cancellation shall be accepted by the Seller on thirty (30)
days prior written notice, but failure to give such notice shall be of no effect and the City shall not be obligated
under this contract beyond the date of termination.
57. THE CITY RIGHT TO AUDIT
At any time during the term of this Contract and for a period of four (4) years thereafter the City or a duly authorized
audit representative of the City, or the State of Texas, at its expense and at reasonable times, reserves the right to
audit Contractor's records and books relevant to all services provided under this Contract. In the event such an audit
by the City reveals any errors/overpayments by the City, Contractor shall refund the City the full amount of such
overpayments within thirty (30) days of such audit findings, or the City, at its option, reserves the right to deduct
such amounts owing the City from any payments due Contractor.
58. NON -ARBITRATION
The City reserves the right to exercise any right or remedy available to it by law, contract, equity, or otherwise,
including without limitation, the right to seek any and all forms of relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Further, the City shall not be subject to any arbitration process prior to exercising its unrestricted right to seek
judicial remedy. The remedies set forth herein are cumulative and not exclusive, and may be exercised concurrently.
To the extent of any conflict between this provision and another provision in, or related to, this document, this
provision shall control.
59. CONTRACTOR ACKNOWLEDGES
Contractor acknowledges by supplying any Goods or Services that the Contractor has read, fully understands, and
will be in full compliance with all terms and conditions and the descriptive material contained herein and any
additional associated documents and Amendments. The City disclaims any terms and conditions provided by the
Contractor unless agreed upon in writing by the parties. In the event of conflict between these terms and conditions
and any terms and conditions provided by the Contractor, the terms and conditions provided herein shall prevail.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave
for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the
Davis -Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any
solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this
contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide
employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours
they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.
Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their
own illness, injury or other health -related needs, including
preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other
health -related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons
resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic
violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information
on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO
is available at
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).
The body of each wage determination lists the classification
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local),
a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate
(weighted union average rate).
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed
in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or
""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were
prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of
the union which prevailed in the survey for this
classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198
indicates the local union number or district council number
where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,
005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing
the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the
most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,
2014.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate
changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing
this classification and rate.
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that
no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and
the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average
rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that
classification. As this weighted average rate includes all
rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and
non -union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates
the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average
calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates
the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which
these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007
in the example, is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion
date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a
new survey is conducted.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate
that no single majority rate prevailed for those
classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the
classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union
average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in
the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage
determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of
each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current
negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is
based.
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be:
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests
for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour
National Office because National Office has responsibility for
the Davis -Bacon survey program. If the response from this
initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described
in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.
With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal
process described here, initial contact should be with the
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations
Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an
interested party (those affected by the action) can request
review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator
(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:
Wage and Hour Administrator
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the
interested party's position and by any information (wage
payment data, project description, area practice material,
etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.
3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an
interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative
Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:
Administrative Review Board
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

Item Description
Project Description The proposed project will consist of a 25,000-sq. ft. building and associated
parking lot.
Finished Floor ±2 feet of existing grade.
Elevation
Maximum Loads Column Loads: 50 kips
(Assumed) Walls Loads: 3 klf
Below Grade Structures None Anticipated.
Both rigid (concrete) and flexible (asphalt) pavement sections are

Pavements 7,500 Equivalent Single Axel Load ESAL (Light Duty) or 50,000 ESAL
(Pavement Subjected to Occasional Truck Traffic).
GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERIZATION
We have developed a general characterization of the subsurface conditions based upon our
review of the subsurface exploration, laboratory data, geologic setting and our understanding of
the project. This characterization, termed GeoModel, forms the basis of our geotechnical
calculations and evaluation of site preparation and foundation options. Conditions encountered at
each exploration point are indicated on the individual logs. The individual logs can be found in the
:xploration Result section and the GeoModel can be found in the ,-igures section of this report.
As part of our analyses, we identified the following model layers within the subsurface profile. For
a more detailed view of the model layer depths at each boring location, refer to the GeoModel.

These groundwater observations provide an indication of the groundwater conditions present at
the time the boring was drilled. Groundwater conditions may be different at the time of
construction. Groundwater conditions may change because of seasonal variations in rainfall,
runoff and other conditions not apparent at the time of drilling. The water levels observed in the
boreholes can be found on the boring logs in Exploration Results.
GEOTECHNICAL OVERVIEW
The subsurface soils encountered in our borings consist of clayey sands and silty sands to the
maximum depth explored of 20 feet below ground surface (bgs). Settlement of foundations on
prepared subgrade using the recommended allowable bearing capacity and the assumed modest
design loads should be less than 1 inch. The on -site soils are not expected to experience
substantial volumetric changes (shrink/swell) with fluctuations in moisture content. Potential
vertical movements due to shrink/swell are estimated to be less than 1 inch.
The near surface loose clayey sands could become unstable with typical earthwork and
construction traffic, especially after precipitation events. Effective drainage should be completed
early in the construction sequence and maintained after construction to avoid potential issues. If
possible, the grading should be performed during the warmer and drier times of the year. If grading
is performed during the winter months, an increased risk for possible undercutting and
replacement of unstable subgrade will persist. Site preparation recommendations are provided in
the Earthwork section.
The Shallow Foundations section addresses support of proposed structures bearing on
approved on -site soils or structural fill material.
The Floor Slabs section includes recommendations for subgrade preparation associated with
performance expectations of our assumed slab loads.
Both asphaltic concrete (AC) and portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement options can be used
for parking area. Pavements section provides recommendations for the design of new pavement
systems.

The General Comments section provides an understanding of the report limitations.
EARTHWORK
Earthwork is anticipated to include clearing, excavations, and fill placement. The following
sections provide recommendations for use in the preparation of specifications for the work.
Recommendations include critical quality criteria, as necessary, to render the site in the state
considered in our geotechnical engineering evaluation for foundations, floor slabs, and
pavements.
General Site Preparation
Remove existing vegetation and deleterious materials from the proposed project area. Exposed
surfaces should be free of mounds and depressions which could prevent uniform compaction.
The stripped materials consisting of vegetation and organic materials should be wasted from the
site or used to revegetate landscaped areas or exposed slopes after completion of grading
operations. Excessively wet or dry material should either be removed or moisture conditioned and
recompacted. After stripping and grubbing, the subgrade should be proof -rolled where possible
to aid in locating loose or soft areas. The proof -rolling should consist of several overlapping
passes in mutually perpendicular directions over a given area. Any soft or pumping areas should
be excavated to firm ground. Excavated areas should be backfilled with properly placed and
compacted fill as discussed in Compaction Requirements.
Structural Fill Material Types
Structural fill is material used below, or within 3 feet of structures, pavements, or constructed
slopes. Earthen materials used for structural fill should meet the material property requirements
shown below.
Soil Type'
On -Site Soils
USCS Classification I Required Parameters (for Structural Fill)

liquid limits (LL) less than 35, plasticity index (PI) less
than 15
Clean soil (free of deleterious material and debris)
Imported Fill SC, CL With liquid limits (LL) less than 35, plasticity index (PI)
less than 15 and no rock greater than 4 inches in
maximum dimension
Structural fill should consist of approved materials free of organic matter and debris. Frozen material should
not be used, and fill should not be placed on a frozen subgrade. A sample of each material type should be
submitted to the Geotechnical Engineer for evaluation prior to use on this site.

March 5, 2020 Terracon Project No. AR195034 GeORepOrt.
Compaction Requirements
Structural fill should meet the following compaction requirements.
Item Compaction Criteria
Maximum Lift Thickness 8 inches or less in loose thickness when heavy, self-propelled
compaction equipment is used.
Proposed structures A minimum of 95 percent of the maximum standard Proctor dry density
(ASTM D 698) and within 2 percent of optimum moisture content.
Utility Trench Backfill
Utility trenches penetrating beneath the structures should be effectively sealed to restrict water
intrusion and flow through the trenches, which could migrate below the building. The trench should
provide an effective trench plug that extends at least 5 feet from the face of the building exterior.
The plug material should consist of cementitious flowable fill or low permeability clay. The trench
plug material should be placed to surround the utility line. If used, the clay trench plug material
should be placed and compacted to comply with the water content and compaction
recommendations for structural fill stated previously in this report.
Grading and Drainage
All grades must provide effective drainage away from the buildings during and after construction
and should be maintained throughout the life of the structures. Water retained next to the buildings
can result in soil movements greater than those discussed in this report. Greater movements can
result in unacceptable differential floor slab and/or foundation movements, cracked slabs and
walls, and roof leaks. The roof should have gutters/drains with downspouts that discharge onto
splash blocks at a distance of at least 10 feet from the buildings.
Exposed ground should be sloped and maintained at a minimum 5% away from the building for
at least 10 feet beyond the perimeter of the building. Locally, flatter grades may be necessary to
transition ADA access requirements forflatwork. After building construction and landscaping have
been completed, final grades should be verified to document effective drainage has been
achieved. Grades around the structure should also be periodically inspected and adjusted, as
necessary, as part of the structure's maintenance program. Where paving or flatwork abuts the
structure, a maintenance program should be established to effectively seal and maintain joints
and prevent surface water infiltration.
Earthwork Construction Considerations
Shallow excavations are anticipated to be accomplished with conventional construction
equipment. Upon completion of filling and grading, care should be taken to maintain the subgrade
water content prior to construction of floor slabs. Construction traffic over the completed

subgrades should be avoided. The site should also be graded to prevent ponding of surface water
on the prepared subgrades or in excavations. Water collecting over or adjacent to construction
areas should be removed. If the subgrade freezes, desiccates, saturates, or is disturbed, the
affected material should be removed, or the materials should be scarified, moisture conditioned,
and recompacted prior to floor slab construction.
As a minimum, excavations should be performed in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR, Part 1926,
Subpart P, "Excavations" and its appendices, and in accordance with any applicable local, and/or
state regulations.
Construction site safety is the sole responsibility of the contractor who controls the means,
methods, and sequencing of construction operations. Under no circumstances shall the
information provided herein be interpreted to mean Terracon is assuming responsibility for
construction site safety, or the contractor's activities; such responsibility shall neither be implied
nor inferred.
Construction Observation and Testing
The earthwork efforts should be monitored under the direction of the Geotechnical Engineer.
Monitoring should include documentation of adequate removal of vegetation and topsoil, proof -
rolling, and mitigation of areas delineated by the proof -roll to require mitigation.
Each lift of compacted fill should be tested, evaluated, and reworked, as necessary, until approved
by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to placement of additional lifts. Each lift of fill should be tested
for density and water content at a frequency of at least one test for every 2,500 square feet of
compacted fill in the building areas and 5,000 square feet in pavement areas. One density and
water content test should be performed for every 50 linear feet of compacted utility trench backfill.
In areas of foundation excavations, the bearing subgrade should be evaluated under the direction
of the Geotechnical Engineer. If unanticipated conditions are encountered, the Geotechnical
Engineer should prescribe mitigation options.
In addition to the documentation of the essential parameters necessary for construction, the
continuation of the Geotechnical Engineer into the construction phase of the project provides the
continuity to maintain the Geotechnical Engineer's evaluation of subsurface conditions, including
assessing variations and associated design changes.
SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS
Proposed structures can be supported using shallow foundations. If the site has been prepared
in accordance with the requirements noted in the following design parameters are
applicable for the proposed project.

1. The maximum net allowable bearing pressure is the pressure in excess of the minimum surrounding
overburden pressure at the footing base elevation. An appropriate factor of safety has been applied. Values
assume that exterior grades are no steeper than 20% within 10 feet of structure.
Values provided are for an assumed maximum 50 kip column load and 3 kip per linear foot continuous
foundation load. Our Geotechnical Engineer must review recommendations if projects loads exceed these
values.
3. Unsuitable or soft soils should be over -excavated and replaced per the recommendations presented in the
Earthwork.
a The sides of the excavation for the spread footings must be nearly vertical and the concrete should be
placed neat against these vertical faces for the passive earth pressure values to be valid. If the loaded side
is sloped or benched, and then backfilled, the allowable passive pressure will be reduced. Passive
resistance in the upper 2 feet of the soil profile should be nealected.
Foundation Construction Considerations
As noted in Earthworl' , the footing excavations should be evaluated under the direction of the
Geotechnical Engineer. The base of all foundation excavations should be free of water and loose
soil prior to placing concrete. Concrete should be placed soon after excavating to reduce bearing
soil disturbance. Care should be taken to prevent wetting or drying of the bearing materials during
construction. Excessively wet or dry material or any loose/disturbed material in the bottom of the
footing excavations represent unsuitable conditions and should be corrected before foundation
concrete is placed.
If unsuitable bearing soils are encountered at the base of the planned footing excavation, the
excavation should be extended deeper to suitable soils, and the footings could bear directly on
these soils at the lower level or on lean concrete backfill placed in the excavations. This is
illustrated on the sketch below.

SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
The seismic design requirements for structures are based on Seismic Design Category. Site
Classification is required to determine the Seismic Design Category for a structure. The Site
Classification is based on the upper 100 feet of the site profile defined by a weighted average
value of either shear wave velocity, standard penetration resistance, or undrained shear strength
in accordance with Chapter 20 of ASCE 7 and the International Building Code (IBC). Based on
the soil properties encountered at the site and as described on the exploration logs and results, it
is our professional opinion that the Seismic Site Classification is D. Subsurface explorations at
this site were extended to a maximum depth of 20 feet. The site properties below the boring depth
to 100 feet were estimated based on our experience and knowledge of geologic conditions of the
general area. If significant project cost savings could be realized from an improved site

classification, additional deeper borings or geophysical testing may be performed to confirm the
conditions below the current boring depth.
FLOOR SLABS
For the light slab loads assumed, the slab performance will largely be a function of the onsite soils
or fill materials quality. The modulus of subgrade reaction is provided in the table below for materials
selected and compacted as noted in the Earthwork section. Slab deflection can be estimated based
on the load. If anticipated loads result in excess settlement that are not tolerable, our Engineer can
provide recommendations for improvement to the uppermost portion of the site subgrade or more
strict control of site grading fill materials and compaction requirements.

Item Description
Pad prepared with approved on -site or imported soils placed and compacted
Floor Slab Support in accordance with Earthwork section of this report.
Estimated Modulus of
Subgrade Reaction
z 120 pounds per square inch per inch (psi/in) for point loads
Floor slabs should be structurally independent of building footings to reduce the possibility of floor slab
cracking caused by differential movements between the slab and foundation.
Modulus of subgrade reaction is an estimated value based upon our experience with the subgrade
condition, the requirements noted in Earthwork, and the floor slab support as noted in this table. It is
provided for point loads. For large area loads the modulus of subgrade reaction would be lower.
The use of a vapor retarder should be considered beneath concrete slabs on grade covered with
wood, tile, carpet, or other moisture sensitive or impervious coverings, or when the slab will
support equipment sensitive to moisture. When conditions warrant the use of a vapor retarder,
the slab designer should refer to ACI 302 and/or ACI 360 for procedures and cautions regarding
the use and placement of a vapor retarder.
Floor Slab Construction Considerations
Finished subgrade, within and for at least 3 feet beyond the floor slab, should be protected from
traffic, rutting, or other disturbance and maintained in a relatively moist condition until floor slabs are
constructed. If the subgrade should become damaged or desiccated prior to construction of floor
slabs, the affected material should be removed, and structural fill should be added to replace the
resulting excavation. Final conditioning of the finished subgrade should be performed immediately
prior to placement of the floor slab support course.
The Geotechnical Engineer should approve the condition of the floor slab subgrades immediately
prior to placement of the floor slab support course, reinforcing steel, and concrete. Attention should

be paid to high traffic areas that were rutted and disturbed earlier, and to areas where backfilled
trenches are located.
PAVEMENTS
Both concrete and asphalt pavement design sections are requested for the proposed project.
Pavement thickness design is dependent upon:
the anticipated traffic conditions during the life of the pavement,
subgrade and paving material characteristics, and
climatic conditions of the region.
Design Traffic

pavement thickness design and Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) as shown in the
uescription section. Our office should be contacted if there are any changes in the reported traffic
patterns or frequency in order to determine the recommendations contained herein are still valid.
Pavement Subgrade Parameters
Our analysis used a subgrade Resilient Modulus (Mr) of 5,160 psi (pounds per square inch) for use
for flexible pavement design, and a Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (k) of 110 pci (pounds per cubic
inch) for use in designing the rigid pavement sections. These are assumed values based on our
experience in the area with laboratory testing of similar clayey sand soils. Laboratory testing of site
soils in combination with provided traffic volumes could allow for refinement of recommended
pavement sections.

Areas for parking of heavy vehicles, concentrated turn areas, and start/stop maneuvers could
require thicker pavement sections. Edge restraints (i.e. concrete curbs or aggregate shoulders)
should be planned along curves and areas of maneuvering vehicles. A maintenance program
including surface sealing, joint cleaning and sealing, and timely repair of cracks and deteriorated
areas will increase the pavement's service life. As an option, thicker sections could be constructed
to decrease future maintenance.
Openings in pavements, such as decorative landscaped areas, are sources for water infiltration
into surrounding pavement systems. Water can collect in the islands and migrate into the
surrounding subgrade soils thereby degrading support of the pavement. This is especially
applicable for islands with raised concrete curbs, irrigated foliage, and low permeability near -
surface soils. The civil design for the pavements with these conditions should include features to
restrict or collect and discharge excess water from the islands. Examples of features are edge
drains connected to the storm water collection system, longitudinal subdrains, or other suitable
outlets and impermeable barriers preventing lateral migration of water such as a cutoff wall
installed to a depth below the pavement structure.

Dishing in parking lots surfaced with ACC is usually observed in frequently -used parking stalls
(such as near the front of buildings) and occurs under the wheel footprint in these stalls. The use
of higher -grade asphaltic cement, or surfacing these areas with PCC, should be considered. The
dishing is exacerbated by factors such as irrigated islands or planter areas, sheet surface
drainage to the front of structures, and placing the ACC directly on a compacted clay subgrade.
PCC pavement details for joint spacing, joint reinforcement, and joint sealing should be prepared
in accordance with ACI 330 and ACI 325. PCC pavements should be provided with mechanically
reinforced joints in accordance with ACI 330.
Pavement Drainage
Pavements should be sloped to provide rapid drainage of surface water. Water allowed to pond
on or adjacent to the pavements could saturate the subgrade and contribute to premature
pavement deterioration. In addition, the pavement subgrade should be graded to provide positive
drainage within the granular base section. Appropriate sub -drainage or connection to a suitable
daylight outlet should be provided to remove water from the granular subbase.
Based on the possibility of shallow and/or perched groundwater, we recommend installing a
pavement subdrain system to control groundwater, improve stability, and improve long-term
pavement performance.
Pavement Maintenance
The pavement sections represent minimum recommended thicknesses and, as such, periodic
maintenance should be anticipated. Therefore, preventive maintenance should be planned and
provided for through an on -going pavement management program. Maintenance activities are
intended to slow the rate of pavement deterioration and to preserve the pavement investment.
Maintenance consists of both localized maintenance (e.g., crack and joint sealing and patching)
and global maintenance (e.g., surface sealing). Preventive maintenance is usually the priority
when implementing a pavement maintenance program. Additional engineering observation is
recommended to determine the type and extent of a cost-effective program. Even with periodic
maintenance, some movements and related cracking may still occur and repairs may be required.
Pavement performance is affected by its surroundings. In addition to providing preventive
maintenance, the civil engineer should consider the following recommendations in the design and
layout of pavements:
Final grade adjacent to paved areas should slope down from the edges at a minimum 2%.
Subgrade and pavement surfaces should have a minimum 2% slope to promote proper
surface drainage.
Install below pavement drainage systems surrounding areas anticipated for frequent
wetting.

Install joint sealant and seal cracks immediately.
Seal all landscaped areas in or adjacent to pavements to reduce moisture migration to
subgrade soils.
Place compacted, low permeability backfill against the exterior side of curb and gutter.
Place curb, gutter and/or sidewalk directly on clay subgrade soils rather than on unbound
granular base course materials.
ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING
During the advancement of the soil borings, Terracon performed field screening using sensory
methods and an organic vapor meter (OVM) equipped with a photoionization detector (PID) to
detect the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The borings were screened for the
presence of methane, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and balance gas readings utilizing a Landtec GEM
2000 landfill gas meter. Observations to document the presence of fill materials, including
materials representative as municipal solid wastes (MSW), were also performed during the
screening.
Based on the field screening observations, the Landtec GEM 2000 and PID instrumentation did
not exhibit readings above applicable background screening levels for the above indicated
constituents. Additionally, visual observations of fill materials, including materials representative
of MSW, were not observed during the advancement of the borings at the site. Based on these
findings, adverse soil vapor conditions and foreign materials that may encountered during
construction activities do not appear to be present in the areas investigated at the site. Further
environmental investigation associated with the presence of a potential landfill at the site does
not appear to be warranted at this time.
GENERAL COMMENTS
Our analysis and opinions are based upon our understanding of the project, the geotechnical
conditions in the area, and the data obtained from our site exploration. Natural variations will occur
between exploration point locations or due to the modifying effects of construction or weather.
The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until during or after construction.
Terracon should be retained as the Geotechnical Engineer, where noted in this report, to provide
observation and testing services during pertinent construction phases. If variations appear, we
can provide further evaluation and supplemental recommendations. If variations are noted in the
absence of our observation and testing services on -site, we should be immediately notified so
that we can provide evaluation and supplemental recommendations.
Our Scope of Services does not include either specifically or by implication any environmental or
biological (e.g., mold, fungi, bacteria) assessment of the site or identification or prevention of

Below ground surface.
Boring Layout and Elevations: Terracon personnel provided the boring layout. Coordinates
were obtained with a handheld GPS unit (estimated horizontal accuracy of about ±10 feet).
Subsurface Exploration Procedures: We drilled soil borings with a truck -mounted drill rig using
continuous flight augers. We obtained representative samples primarily by the split -barrel
sampling procedure. At least five soil samples were taken to a depth of 10 feet and at about 5
feet intervals thereafter to the completion depth of the borings as indicated on the boring logs.
Pavement area borings included collection of three samples.
Our granular soil sampling was conducted in general accordance with the Standard Method for
Penetration Test and Split -Barrel Sampling of Soils (ASTM D1586). In the split -barrel sampling
procedure, a standard, 2-inch O.D., split -barrel sampling spoon is driven into the boring with a
140-pound automatic SPT (Standard Penetration Test) hammer falling 30 inches. Field personnel
recorded the number of hammer blows required to advance the sampling spoon the last 12 inches
of an 18-inch sampling interval as the SPT N-value. The N-values are recorded on the field boring
logs. The soil samples obtained from the split -barrel sampler were visually classified and
packaged for transportation to our laboratory.
The sampling depths, penetration distances, and other sampling information was recorded on the
field boring logs. The samples were placed in appropriate containers and taken to our soil laboratory
for testing and classification by a Geotechnical Engineer. The exploration team prepared field
boring logs as part of the drilling operations. These field logs included visual classifications of the
materials encountered during drilling and our interpretation of the subsurface conditions between
samples. Final boring logs were prepared from the field logs. The final boring logs represent the
Geotechnical Engineer's interpretation of the field logs and include modifications based on
observations and tests of the samples in our laboratory.
Laboratory Testing
The project engineer reviewed the field data and assigned laboratory tests to understand the
engineering properties of the various soil strata, as necessary, for this project. Procedural

DESCRIPTIVE SOIL CLASSIFICATION
Soil classification is based on the Unified Soil Classification System. Coarse Grained Soils have more than 50% of their dry weight retained on a
#200 sieve; their principal descriptors are: boulders, cobbles, gravel, or sand. Fine Grained Soils have less than 50% of their dry weight retained on
a #200 sieve; they are principally described as clays if they are plastic, and silts if they are slightly plastic or non -plastic. Major constituents may be
added as modifiers and minor constituents may be added according to the relative proportions based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse -
grained soils are defined on the basis of their in -place relative density and fine-grained soils on the basis of their consistency.
LOCATION AND ELEVATION NOTES
Unless otherwise noted, Latitude and Longitude are approximately determined using a hand-held GPS device. The accuracy of such devices is
variable. Surface elevation data annotated with +/- indicates that no actual topographical survey was conducted to confirm the surface elevation.
Instead, the surface elevation was approximately determined from topographic maps of the area.

PART 3 — EXECUTION
3.1 EXCAVATION
A. Perform all excavation work required in connection with the installation of the work under this
Section. After the electrical work has been installed, tested and approved, backfill all excavations
with suitable material under the direction of the Architect. Include the cutting of all sidewalks, streets,
and other pavement and repairing the openings in them to return the surface to approximately its
original condition.
B. Perform all excavations of every description of whatever substances encountered and to the depths
required for installation of the work under this Division.
C. During excavation, stack material suitable for backfilling in an orderly manner a sufficient distance
from the banks to prevent slides or cave-ins. Remove all excavated material not required or suitable
for backfill. Control grading to prevent surface water from flowing into excavations, and remove any
water accumulating therein by pumping.
D. Make trenches the necessary width for proper installation of the lines.
E. Grade the bottom of trenches accurately to provide uniform bearing and support for conduit or duct
on undisturbed soil at every point along its entire length.
F. Where excavation requires the opening of existing walks, streets, drives or other existing pavement,
cut the pavement as required. Hold the size of the cut to a minimum consistent with the work to be
accomplished. After the installation of the new work is completed, and the excavation has been
backfilled, patch the paving using materials to match those cut out. Take care that the patches are
level with the original surfaces and thoroughly bond with them.
3.2 BACKFILLING
A. Carefully backfill trenches with earth, sandy clay, soft shale or other approved material free from
large clods of earth deposited in thoroughly and carefully rammed 6-inck layers.
B. Do not use broken concrete or pavement as backfill material.
C. Settling the backfill with water is permissible and will be a requirement when so directed.
D. Re -open any trenches improperly filled or where settlement occurs to the depth required for proper
compaction, then refill, mound over and smooth off.
E. Install continuous identification tape as specified in ELECTRICAL IDENTIFICATION.
F. Backfill open trenches across roadways or other areas to be paved as specified above except that the
entire depth of trench shall be backfilled in 6-inch layers, each layer moistened and compacted to a
density of not less that 95 percent Standard Proctor in such manner as to permit the rolling and
compaction of the filled trench together with the adjoining earth to provide the required bearing value
and permit paving the area immediately after backfilling as completed.
3.3 INSTALLATION OF UNDERGROUND DUCTS
A. Concrete between ducts and earth, and with 3 inches of concrete between adjacent ducts. Provide at
least 30 inches of cover from top of concrete encasement to finished grade. Install with uniform slope
for drainage, with no low pockets to collect water.
B. Build up duct banks completely in the trench before any concrete is poured, using factory -fabricated
plastic conduit spacers in staggered configuration to provide the proper horizontal and vertical
spacings, and securing the entire assembly with heavy twine or cord to insure rigidity during pouring.
Do not use metal for this purpose. Assemble conduits with staggered adjacent couplings so that no
two couplings will lie in the same transverse plane, in a vertical direction. Use solvent cement as
directed by the duct manufacturer in making up all joints.
FORENSIC / PROPERTY FACILITY 26 05 32 - 3
PROJECT #92551
SECTION 26 05 32
100% Construction Documents - ISSUE FOR BID + PERMIT
C. Fabricate duct runs with standard factory -made fittings, elbows and accessories. Make all changes
of direction, horizontal or vertical, with long sweep bends having a minimum radius of 25 feet, except
that manufactured bends at or near the ends of the runs may be used on short runs of 100 feet or less.
Make long sweep bends with one or more curved or straight sections of duct. Manufactured bends,
where permitted, shall have a minimum radius of 10 times the nominal duct diameter. Where
manufactured ducts of greater than a 30-degree angle are required, use rigid hot dipped galvanized
steel conduit bends. During construction, protect partially completed duct lines from entrance of dirt
and debris by means of suitable factory -made duct plugs. After completion of installation, seal all
ends of spare ducts with factory made duct plugs.
D. Where ducts enter in or under buildings, change from plastic duct to rigid galvanized steel conduit
below grade outside the structure, using suitable factory adapters. At the point of change of materials,
extend the concrete envelope to enclose at least 2 feet of steel conduit. Wrap all steel conduits and
fittings buried in earth as specified elsewhere herein, or use PVC coated steel conduits.
E. Install the concrete envelope for a given duct run in one pour where possible. Use concrete of 3000
psi compressive strength. In pouring concrete, do not allow heavy masses of concrete to fall on ducts.
Direct flow of concrete down sides of assembly to bottom, forcing it to flow to center of bank and
then to rise up in middle, filling all spaces uniformly. Spade concrete liberally and carefully with a
long, flat slicing bar between vertical rows to eliminate voids. Weight or brace the duct bank
assembly if necessary, to prevent the assembly from floating. Because of the fact that plastic conduits
may expand considerably during construction, each run and its concrete envelope shall be installed
starting at one end and proceeding toward the other with any necessary adjustments to length being
made at the end toward which the work is progressing.
F. After ducts are installed, complete with envelope, and before pulling any cable, pull a mandrel
through every duct to check for alignment and clear passage. Use an iron -shod mandrel with a
diameter of 1/4-inch less than the nominal size of the duct and a length equal to the duct diameter.
Mandrel shall have a leather or rubber gasket slightly larger than the duct hole. After testing the ducts
with the mandrel, pull a stiff -bristled brush through each duct until it is clear of all particles of earth,
sand or gravel; then install duct plugs immediately.
3.4 INSTALLATION OF UNDERGROUND PLASTIC CONDUIT
A. Install at least 30 inches below finished grade unless noted to the contrary. Assemble and install
raceways in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Make joints with couplings and solvent
cement. Fabricate bends of 30 degrees or more with factory -made elbows, or make field bends with
proper heating equipment. Bends showing signs of overheating or flattening are unacceptable. Ream
ends of all conduit before joining.
B. "Snake" plastic conduit in trench, from side to side, with a complete cycle every 40 feet to allow for
expansion and contraction. Maintain this configuration during backfilling.
C. Where conduit turns up out of earth, or floor slabs, change from plastic to rigid galvanized steel
conduit below grade and outside of such structures. Do not extend any plastic conduit above grade.
Make similar change from plastic to rigid galvanized steel conduit at connections to underground pull
or junction boxes. Wrap all steel conduits and fittings buried in earth as specified elsewhere herein,
or use PVC coated steel conduits.
3.5 INSTALLATION OF UNDERGROUND STEEL CONDUIT
A. All steel conduit in earth shall be rigid galvanized steel conduit. Wrap such conduit with 3M
Company 0.020-inch thick No. 51 "scotchrap" vinyl plastic tape, half lapped to give a double
thickness wrap. Remove all oil, grease and dirt from conduit with a suitable solvent, and clean and
dry conduit before wrapping. If conduit is pre -wrapped in the shop and then cut and joined on the
job, wrap all joints on the job, overlapping pipe wrapping 3 inches on both sides of joints.

3.6 INSTALLATION OF PVC COATED CONDUITS
A. During installation, visually examine the conduit for cuts. Patch these areas with a paste containing
a PVC solvent obtained from the conduit manufacturer. The patch shall be built up to the original
thickness of the coating and feathered out on all sides of the damaged area a minimum of 1/2-inch to
provide a complete bonded seal over the damaged area.
3.7 INSTALLATION OF BUILDING RACEWAYS
A. All wiring of every description shall be run in conduit or electrical metallic tubing unless noted or
specified otherwise. Conduits may be run exposed in machinery and electrical rooms and unfinished
areas. All other conduits shall be run concealed unless otherwise noted. All exposed runs shall be
installed parallel to the surface of the building in a neat and orderly manner.
B. Types: All conduits installed in wet or damp locations, or on roofs shall be rigid galvanized steel
conduits. Above grade interior conduits shall be rigid galvanized steel conduit, intermediate metal
conduits or electrical metallic tubing. Conduits installed below grade in slabs or buried in earth shall
be PVC or PVC coated rigid galvanized steel or wrapped rigid galvanized steel.
C. Sizes: Size and install raceways so that conductors may be drawn in without injury or excessive strain.
Make field bends with approved bending devices. Do not install bends or offsets in which conduit is
crushed, deformed or otherwise injured.
D. Connections: Use lengths of flexible metal conduit, not less than 12 inches long at final connections
to all motors, generators, controls and other devices subject to movement because of vibration or
mechanical adjustment. Use flexible metal conduit also at connections to recessed lighting fixtures,
and elsewhere as required. In damp or wet locations, and where installed outdoors, use liquidtight
flexible metal conduit.
E. Around Heat Producing Equipment: Do not install raceways within 3 inches of steam and hot water
pipes, breeching and flues, except where crossings are unavoidable, and then keep raceways at least
1 inch from insulation on the pipe, breeching or flue crossed. Wherever possible, avoid installing
raceways directly above or in close proximity to boilers and other like objects operating at high
temperatures.
F. Damp or Wet Locations: In damp or wet locations make every effort to avoid installing raceways in
a manner which will create moisture traps. Where they must be so installed, seal both ends of
raceways with an approved sealing compound to prevent "breathing" and moisture condensation
within the raceways.
G. Different Systems: In systems operating at more than 300 volts between phase conductors, where
different phase conductors are to be run to a common gang wall switch box, install a separate conduit
for each different phase wire and its return switch leg, and provide substantial barriers between
adjacent switches in the box so that two different phase wires will not be the same compartment.
H. Joining Rigid Conduits: Join with threaded couplings. Ream out all conduit ends after threading.
Secure rigid conduits at panel boxes, junction boxes, pull boxes, switchboards, support boxes, or
sheet metal outlet boxes by galvanized locknuts, inside and outside, with insulating bushing inside.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 HAULING AND PLACING
A. Before placing any base material, shape, wet, roll, and compact subgrade to cross sections and
grades specified per Section 3123 00 "Excavation and Fill."
B. Place flexible base in uniform courses with compacted thicknesses no more than 8 or less than 3
inches compacted if compaction achieved. Deliver material in approved vehicles of uniform
capacity and supply amount of material required to construct base course to thickness shown on
Plans. Spread and shape to thoroughly mix material and prevent segregation. Sprinkling during
this process required if necessary to prevent segregation. When shaping is completed, material
shall be uniformly well graded and of proper thickness. Spread and shape material deposited upon
subgrade the same day. In event inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances renders
impractical spreading of material during the day it is deposited, material shall be scarified, mixed
and spread as directed by Architect. Correct and remove or replace all areas and nests of segregated
coarse or fine materials with well -graded material. If additional or corrective binder required, it
shall be furnished and applied in amount directed by Architect. Carefully and evenly incorporate
such binder material with material in place by scarifying, harrowing, or other approved method.
3.2 COMPACTING AND FINISHING
A. After material is properly spread, sprinkle, roll, and blade until thoroughly compacted. During
compaction, apply water to maintain optimum moisture in material and sufficiently blade base
course to ensure a uniform distribution of base materials and smooth uniform surface, true to
section and grades established, after final compaction. Compact by rolling with pneumatic and
steel -wheeled rollers as approved by Architect. In areas not accessible to roller, compact base
material with mechanical tampers or other approved methods to secure uniform compaction over
entire paved area. Throughout entire operation, maintain shape of base course by blading. Blading

and rolling shall continue until course is thoroughly compacted and surface is smooth and in
conformity with typical sections shown on Plans, to lines and grades established. Compact
material to 95 percent maximum density, at optimum moisture, as determined by ASTM D 1557.
At Architect discretion, additional proctors and rework shall be required where compaction
exceeds 103 percent of ASTM D 1557. A compaction result of 103 percent ASTM D 1557 or
higher is cause for rejection.
B. Immediately correct all irregularities, depressions, or weak spots which develop during
compaction by scarifying areas affected, adding or removing material as required, reshaping, and
recompacting by sprinkling and rolling. Immediately before placing surfacing, check base for
grade and cross section, and correct any deviation in excess of 1/4 inch from grade or true cross
section. Set blue tops to finished base elevations to check base for proper grade and elevation.
C. If base course is opened to traffic before surfacing, satisfactorily maintain base by wetting,
blading, and rolling until wearing surface is placed thereon.

temperature limits specified herein, and not less than 0.20 nor more than 0.30 gallon of
bituminous material per square yard. Apply bituminous material so uniform distribution is
obtained over entire surface to treat with slight puddling on surface. Unless distributor is
equipped to obtain satisfactory results at junction of previous and subsequent applications, spread
building paper on surface of applied material for a sufficient distance back from ends of each
application so flow from sprays may start and stop on paper and all sprayers will operate at full
force on surface to treat. Immediately after application, remove building paper and apply
bituminous material to spots missed by distributor.
B. Curing: Following application of bituminous material, allow surface to cure without disturbing
not less than 48 hours, or longer as necessary, to attain penetration into foundation course and
evaporation of volatiles from bituminous material. Furnish and spread enough sand to effectively
blot up and cure excess bituminous material. Maintain primed surface until succeeding layer of
pavement is placed by protecting surface against damage and by repairing and re -priming
deficient areas.
C. Temperature: Maintain application temperature 68-149 degrees F.
D. Protection: Keep traffic off surfaces freshly treated with bituminous material. Provide sufficient
warning signs and barricades to prevent traffic over freshly treated surfaces.
3.3 TACK COAT
A. Apply tack coat when surface to treat is dry. Immediately following preparation of surface for
treatment, apply bituminous material by bituminous distributor, within limits of temperature
specified herein at not less than 0.05 nor more than 0.15 gallon of diluted emulsion per square
yard. Apply bituminous material so uniform distribution obtained over entire surface treated.
Treat lightly -coated areas and spots missed by distributor with bituminous material. Following
application of bituminous material, allow surface to cure without disturbing for time necessary to
permit setting tack coat. Apply bituminous tack coat only as far in advance of placing overlying
layer as required for that day's operation. Maintain and protect treated surface from damage until
succeeding course of pavement is placed.
B. Temperature: Maintain application temperature 122-185 degrees F.
C. Material Test: Perform spot test for asphalt per AASHTO T102 on each shipment.

inspection of cores not less than 4 inches in diameter drilled by Contractor at his expense where
directed. Refill core holes with Portland cement concrete bonded to pavement with epoxy -resin
grout. In addition, when a longitudinal crack is continuous across I or more slabs and penetrates
more than 1/4 depth of pavement, drill core holes not less than 6 inches in diameter through full
depth of slab at both ends of crack. In operation to drill cores at longitudinal -crack ends, position
core bits so core removed will include no more than 3 inches of crack. Use sandblasting and high-
pressure air jets to remove any fines near apparent ends of crack to permit accurate determination
of crack ends. Remove all fines, dust, and other loose material on wall of cored holes by scrubbing
with stiff -bristle brush, followed by washing and dewatering core hole. Refill core holes with
epoxy -resin concrete. Apply a prime coat of epoxy -resin binder thinned with 3 parts toluene to 7
parts epoxy binder, by volume, and brush into vertical wall of core hole. Delay placement of epoxy -
resin concrete until prime coat becomes stringy or approaches dry to touch. Place epoxy -resin
concrete in layers not over 6 inches thick. Time interval between placement of additional layers
shall be so temperature of epoxy -resin concrete does not exceed 140 degrees F any time during
hardening.
3.11 NONWORKING (UNCRACKED) CONTRACTION JOINTS
A. When transverse random crack terminates in or crosses a transverse contraction joint, fill
uncracked portion of joint with epoxy -resin mortar or grout then route and seal crack. When a
transverse random crack approximately parallels planned contraction joint and is within a distance
of 25 percent of slab length from a contraction j oint, route and seal crack then fill j oint with epoxy -
resin grout or mortar. When transverse random crack is more than 25 percent of slab length from
nearest contraction joint, seal both joint and crack. Thoroughly clean joints to fill with epoxy -resin
mortar or grout. Cleaning and sealing cracks and joints shall be as specified in Section 32 13 73
"Concrete Paving Joint Sealants."
3.12 SPALLING ALONG JOINTS AND CRACKS
A. Repair spalls by making a saw cut at least 1-inch outside spalled area and to a 2-inch minimum
depth. When spalled area abuts a joint, make saw cut to a 2-inch depth or 1/6 slab thickness,
whichever is greater. Remove concrete between saw cut and joint or primary crack to a minimum 2-
inch depth below original concrete surface, and to such additional depth necessary to expose a
surface of sound, unweathered concrete uncontaminated by oils, grease, deicing salts or solutions,
or other substances that inhibit performance of epoxy -resin bonding material. Remove concrete

volume between saw cut and joint or primary crack using a hydraulic impact hammer, or other
methods approved by Owner's Representative. Contractor shall exercise care in removing required
concrete so no damage is inflicted on adjoining concrete slab. Contractor shall repair damage of
adjoining concrete at his expense to satisfaction of Owner's Representative.
B. Thoroughly clean concrete void to patch with compressed air, sandblasting, or other approved
methods to remove all loose material. Apply a prime coat of epoxy -resin binder thinned with 3
parts toluene to 7 parts epoxy binder, by volume, to dry, cleaned surface of all sides of cavity,
except joint or primary crack face. Apply prime coat in a thin coating and scrub into surface with a
stiff -bristle brush. Delay placement of Portland -cement concrete, epoxy -resin concrete, or mortar
until prime coat becomes stringy or approaches dry to touch. Place epoxy concrete in cavity in layers
not exceeding 2 inches thick. Time interval between placements of additional layers shall be so
temperature of epoxy -resin concrete does not exceed 140 degrees F at any time during hardening.
Use mechanical plate, screed, float vibrators, or hand tampers to consolidate concrete or mortar.
Remove excess mortar or concrete on adjacent surfaces of hardened concrete before it hardens.
After finishing operations and while epoxy -resin concrete or mortar is still tacky, uniformly spread
a thin coating of Portland cement on surface of repaired area and lightly brush into surface. If
spalled area to patch abuts a working joint or a working crack which penetrates full depth of slab,
use an insert or other bond -breaking medium to maintain working joints or cracks during repair
work. Use surface embedment of a flexible polyethylene or other suitable type hose for forming a
groove along working crack to fill with appropriate type of joint -sealing material. Carefully
remove hose before concrete hardens sufficiently to form a high bond. Thoroughly clean and fill
groove with sealer as specified.
3.13 REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE PAVEMENT AREAS
A. Remove and replace defective pavement areas as specified herein with pavements of thickness and
quality required by Specifications. Carefully remove defective pavement so adjacent pavement
will not be damaged and existing reinforcement at joints left intact. When replacing a portion of
unfractured slab, make a 2-inch deep sawcut transversely across slab in required location, and
remove concrete to provide an essentially vertical face in remaining portion of slab. Before placing
fresh concrete, clean slab face of debris and loose concrete, then thoroughly coat with epoxy -resin
grout. Epoxy -resin coating shall be approximately 1/16-inch and applied by scrubbing a thin coat
of grout into surface with a stiff -bristle brush followed by a second application. Place strips of
polyethylene sheeting on vertical faces of adjacent slabs at juncture with slab to patch as a bond -
breaking medium. Place fresh Portland -cement concrete while epoxy -resin is still tacky so grout
coating is not removed. Construct longitudinal and transverse joints of replaced slab or portion
thereof as indicated. Seal joints as specified in Section 32 13 73 "Concrete Paving Joint Sealants."
Replaced pavements will be paid for at contract price but no payment made for defective
pavements removed nor for cost of removing defective pavements.
3.14 TOLERANCE IN SLAB THICKNESS
A. Determine slab thickness by average caliper measurement of cores tested per ASTM C 174.
Owner's Representative may elect to measure thickness of concrete pavement before placement
based on measurements from a string line stretched across forms or in plastic concrete behind
concrete placing operation.
B. Remove and replace areas found deficient in thickness with concrete of thickness shown on Plans
at Contractor expense. If cores are used to determine concrete thickness, fill core holes with non -
shrink grout by Contractor at his expense.
