to an approved plan, project or activity. This protest process does not create
any due process rights, but is intended to allow bidders/proposers to raise
concerns regarding actions taken pertaining to a bid or other form of
competitive solicitation.
B. The City’s Contracts and Procurement Department has the authority to settle
or resolve any claim of an alleged deficiency or protest. The procedures for
notifying the City of Corpus Christi of an alleged deficiency or filing a protest
are listed below. If you fail to comply with any of these requirements, the
Procurement Officer may dismiss your complaint or protest.
C. GROUNDS FOR PROTEST
Only protests alleging an issue concerning the following subjects will be
considered:
1. Violation of local, state or federal regulation.
2. Issues with the solicitation document that creates an unfair advantage
or unleveled playing field.
3. Errors in computing the tabulation or evaluation of a bid or proposal.
4. Discrepancies with material differences or quality of items or services
D. PROTEST PROCESS
1. Prior to Bid/Proposal Due Date: If you are a prospective Bidder/Proposer
and you become aware of the facts regarding what you believe is a
deficiency in the solicitation or solicitation process before the Due Date
for receipt of bids/proposals, you must notify the City in writing of the
alleged deficiency no later than five days before the Due Date for
bids/proposals, giving the City an opportunity to resolve the situation
prior to the bid/proposal Due Date.
2. After Bid/Proposal Due Date: If you submit a bid/proposal to the City and
you believe that there has been a deficiency in the solicitation process
or the award, you have the opportunity to protest the solicitation process
or the recommended award as follows:
a. You must file written notice of your intent to protest within five
calendar days of the date that you know or should have known of
the facts relating to the protest. If you do not file a written notice of
DocuSign Envelope ID: C24B9717-4D9C-4818-B1A6-904BF8D1B7D8DocuSign Envelope ID: 7CA3FB1C-D56E-478D-AFC7-3EB298FB74AA
Page 20 of 24
intent within this time, you have waived all rights to protest the
solicitation process or the award.
b. You must file your written protest within seven calendar days of the
date that you notified the City of your intent to protest.
c. You must submit your protest in writing and must include the following
information:
i. your name, address, telephone, and fax number; and
ii. the solicitation number; and
iii. a detailed statement of the factual grounds for the protest,
including copies of any relevant documents; and
iv. signature of the protestor and its representative and evidence of
authority to sign; and
v. the form of relief requested.
d. Your protest must be concise and presented logically and factually
to help with the City’s review.
e. When the City receives a timely written protest, the Procurement
Officer will determine whether the grounds for your protest are
sufficient. If the Procurement Officer decides that the grounds are
sufficient, the Contracts and Procurement Office will schedule a
protest hearing, usually within five (5) working days. If the
Procurement Officer determines that your grounds are insufficient,
the City will notify you of that decision in writing.
3. Informal Protest Hearing - The protest hearing is informal and is not
subject to the Open Meetings Act. The purpose of the hearing is to give
you a chance to present your case, it is not an adversarial proceeding.
Those who may attend from the City are: representatives from the
department that requested the purchase, the Legal Department, the
Contracts and Procurement Department, and other appropriate City
staff. You may bring a representative or anyone else that will present
information to support the factual grounds for your protest with you to
the hearing.
4. Protest Decision – A written decision will usually be made within 15
calendar days after the hearing. The City will send you a copy of the
DocuSign Envelope ID: C24B9717-4D9C-4818-B1A6-904BF8D1B7D8DocuSign Envelope ID: 7CA3FB1C-D56E-478D-AFC7-3EB298FB74AA
Page 21 of 24
hearing decision after the appropriate City staff has reviewed the
decision. City staff will inform the Bidder of the date on which the
Construction Contract is set to go to City Council for award.
5. Exceptions; Restrictions – When a protest is filed, the City usually will not
make an award until a decision on the protest is made. However, the
City will not delay an award if the City Manager or the Procurement
Officer determines that:
a. the City urgently requires the supplies or services to be purchased, or
b. failure to make an award promptly will unduly delay delivery or
performance.
In those instances, the City will notify you and make every effort to
resolve your protest before the award.
6. Federal Agency Review – If applicable, every protestor must exhaust all
administrative remedies with the City of Corpus Christi as are provided in
this Protest Procedure before pursuing a protest to the appropriate
federal agency. Reviews of protests by the federal agency are limited
to:
a. violations of federal law or regulations and the standards set out in
the relevant regulations (44 CFR § 13.36.10, 24 CFR § 85.36(b)(12), 24
CFR § 84.41 or as otherwise may be applicable); and
b. violations of the City’s Protest Procedures for failure to review a
complaint or protest.
Any protests received by the federal agency other than those specified
above will be referred to the City for handling and resolution.

Bidder or a Subcontractor is not responsible or that might negatively impact a
Bidder’s ability to complete the Work within the Contract Time and for the
Contract Price may result in the Owner rejecting the Bid.
2.02 If none of the three apparent low Bidders are deemed responsible, the Owner
may notify the next apparent low Bidders in order, who will then be required to
submit the Statement of Experience for review, until a Contract is awarded or all
Bids have been rejected.

completed projects. The Owner will consider whether the Bidder’s past
project experience shows substandard quality of workmanship, issues
related to a substandard appearance of the completed work, the amount
of warranty or rework required, problems with durability and maintainability
of the completed project, and problems with the lack of quality of
documentation provided. In addition to the work produced, the Owner
may consider issues related to the quality of construction practices,

A. The words and terms discussed in this Paragraph 1.02 are not defined, but when used in the
Bidding Requirements or Contract Documents, have the indicated meaning.
B. It is understood that the cost for performing Work is included in the Contract Price and no
additional compensation is to be paid by Owner unless specifically stated otherwise in the
Contract Documents. Expressions including or similar to “at no additional cost to Owner,”
“at Contractor’s expense,” or similar words mean that the Contractor is to perform or provide
specified operation of Work without an increase in the Contract Price.
C. The terms “day” or “calendar day” mean a calendar day of 24 hours measured from midnight
to the next midnight.
D. The meaning and intent of certain terms or adjectives are described as follows:
1. The terms “as allowed,” “as approved,” “as ordered,” “as directed,” or similar terms in
the Contract Documents indicate an exercise of professional judgment by the OPT.
2. Adjectives including or similar to “reasonable,” “suitable,” “acceptable,” “proper,”
“satisfactory,” or similar adjectives are used to describe a determination of OPT
regarding the Work.
3. Any exercise of professional judgment by the OPT will be made solely to evaluate the
Work for general compliance with the Contract Documents unless there is a specific
statement in the Contract Documents indicating otherwise.
4. The use of these or similar terms or adjectives does not assign a duty or give OPT
authority to supervise or direct the performance of the Work, or assign a duty or give
authority to the OPT to undertake responsibilities contrary to the provisions of Articles
9 or 10 or other provisions of the Contract Documents.
E. The use of the words “furnish,” “install,” “perform,” and “provide” have the following
meanings when used in connection with services, materials, or equipment:
1. Furnish means to supply and deliver the specified services, materials, or equipment to
the Site or other specified location ready for use or installation.
2. Install means to complete construction or assembly of the specified services, materials,
or equipment so they are ready for their intended use.

3. Perform or provide means to furnish and install specified services, materials, or
equipment, complete and ready for their intended use.
4. Perform or provide the specified services, materials, or equipment complete and ready
for intended use if the Contract Documents require specific services, materials, or
equipment, but do not expressly use the words “furnish,” “install,” “perform,” or
“provide.”
F. Contract Documents are written in modified brief style:
1. Requirements apply to all Work of the same kind, class, and type even though the word
“all” is not stated.
2. Simple imperative sentence structure is used which places a verb as the first word in the
sentence. It is understood that the words “furnish,” “install,” “perform,” “provide,” or
similar words include the meaning of the phrase “The Contractor shall...” before these
words.
3. Unless specifically stated that action is to be taken by the OPT or others, it is understood
that the action described is a requirement of the Contractor.
G. Words or phrases that have a well-known technical or construction industry or trade
meaning are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with this recognized meaning
unless stated otherwise in the Contract Documents.
H. Written documents are required where reference is made to notices, reports, approvals,
consents, documents, statements, instructions, opinions or other types of communications
required by the Contract Documents. Approval and consent documents must be received by
Contractor prior to the action or decision for which approval or consent is given. These may
be made in printed or electronic format through the OPT’s project management information
system or other electronic media as required by the Contract Documents or approved by the

ARTICLE 11 – AMENDING THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS; CHANGES IN THE WORK
11.01 Amending and Supplementing the Contract Documents
A. The Contract Documents may be modified by a Contract Amendment, Change Order, Work
Change Directive, or Field Order.
1. Contract Amendment: Owner and Contractor may modify the terms and conditions of
the Contract Documents without the recommendation of the Designer using a Contract
Amendment. A Contract Amendment may be used for:
a. Changes that do not involve:
1) The performance or acceptability of the Work;
2) The design as described in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise; or
3) Other engineering, architectural or technical matters.
b. Authorizing new phases of the Work and establishing the Contract Price, Contract
Times, or terms and conditions of the Contract for the new phase of Work when
using phased construction or purchasing Goods and Special Services to be
incorporated into the Project.
2. Change Order: All changes to the Contract Documents that include a change in the
Contract Price or the Contract Times for previously authorized Work, or changes to the
Work requiring Designer’s approval must be made by a Change Order. A Change Order
may also be used to establish modifications of the Contract Documents that do not
affect the Contract Price or Contract Times.
3. Work Change Directive: A Work Change Directive does not change the Contract Price
or the Contract Times, but is evidence that the parties expect that the modifications
ordered or documented by a Work Change Directive will be incorporated in a
subsequently issued Change Order following negotiations on the Contract Price and
Contract Times. If negotiations under the terms of the Contract Documents governing
adjustments, expressly including Paragraphs 11.04 and 11.05 are unsuccessful,
Contractor must submit a Change Proposal seeking an adjustment of the Contract Price
or the Contract Times no later than 30 days after the completion of the Work set out in
the Work Change Directive..
4. Field Order: Designer may require minor changes in the Work that do not change the
Contract Price or Contract Times using a Field Order. OAR may issue a Field Order for
non-technical, administrative issues. Submit a Change Proposal if Contractor believes
that a Field Order justifies an adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times before
proceeding with the Work described in the Field Order.
B. Perform added or revised Work under the applicable provisions of the Contract Documents
for the same or similar Work unless different Drawings, Specifications, or directions are
provided in the Modification.

11.02 Owner-Authorized Changes in the Work
A. Owner may order additions, deletions, or revisions in the Work at any time as recommended
by the Designer to the extent the change:
1. Involves the design as described in the Contract Documents;
2. Involves acceptance of the Work; or
3. Involves other engineering, architectural or technical matters.
B. These changes may be authorized by a Modification. Proceed with the Work involved or, in
the case of a deletion in the Work, immediately cease construction activities with respect to
the deleted Work upon receipt of the Modification. Nothing in this paragraph obligates the
Contractor to undertake Work that Contractor reasonably concludes cannot be performed
in a manner consistent with Contractor’s safety obligations under the Contract Documents
or Laws and Regulations.
11.03 Unauthorized Changes in the Work
A. Contractor is not entitled to an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract
Times with respect to Work performed that is not required by the Contract Documents,
except in the case of an emergency as provided in Paragraph 7.12, or in the case of
uncovering Work as provided in Paragraph 16.05.
B. Contractor is responsible for costs and time delays associated with variations from the
requirements of the Contract Documents unless the variations are specifically approved by
Change Order.
11.04 Change of Contract Price
A. The Contract Price for authorized Work can only be changed by a Change Order. Any Change
Proposal for an adjustment in the Contract Price must comply with the provisions of
Paragraph 11.06. Any Claim for an adjustment of Contract Price must comply with the
provisions of Article 13.
B. An adjustment in the Contract Price is to be determined as follows:
1. By applying unit prices to the quantities of the items involved, subject to the provisions
of Paragraph 15.03, where the Work involved is covered by unit prices in the Contract
Documents;
2. By a mutually agreed lump sum where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices
in the Contract Documents; or
3. Payment on the basis of the Cost of the Work determined as provided in Paragraph
15.01 plus a Contractor’s fee for overhead and profit determined as provided in
Paragraph 11.04.D when the Work involved is not covered by unit prices in the Contract
Documents and the parties do not reach a mutual agreement to a lump sum.
C. The original Contract Price may not be increased by more than 25 percent or the limit set out
in Texas Local Government Code 252.048 or its successor statute, whichever is greater.
Owner may decrease the Work by up to 25 percent of the Contract Price without adjusting
Contractor’s fee.

at whatever tier; and
2) The Contractor and Subcontractors of a tier higher than that of the
Subcontractor that actually performs the Work are to be allowed a fee of 5
percent of the fee plus underlying costs incurred by the next lower tier
Subcontractor;
d. No fee is payable on the basis of costs itemized under Paragraphs 15.01.C.4, and
15.01.D;
e. Five percent of the net decrease in the cost is to be deducted for changes which
result in a net decrease in Contract Price; and
3. The adjustment in Contractor’s fee is based on the net change in accordance with
Paragraphs 11.04.D.2.a through 11.04.D.2.e, inclusive when both additions and credits
are involved in any one change.
11.05 Change of Contract Times
A. The Contract Times for authorized Work can only be changed by Change Order. Any Change

a Change Order for an approved Change Proposal. The Contractor may deem the Change
Proposal to be denied if OAR does not take action on the Change Proposal within 30 days
and start the time for appeal of the denial under Article 13.
11.07 Execution of Change Orders
A. Owner and Contractor are to execute Change Orders covering:
1. Changes in the Contract Price or Contract Times which are agreed to by Owner and
Contractor, including undisputed sums or amount of time for Work actually performed
in accordance with a Work Change Directive;
2. Changes in Contract Price resulting from Owner set-offs unless the set-off has been
successfully challenged by Contractor;
3. Changes in the Work which are:
a. Ordered by Owner pursuant to Paragraph 11.02.A,
b. Required because Defective Work was accepted under Paragraph 16.04 or Owner’s
correction of Defective Work under Paragraph 16.07, or
c. Agreed to by the Owner and Contractor; and
4. Changes in the Contract Price or Contract Times, or other changes under Paragraph
11.06 or Article 13.
B. Acceptance of a Change Order by Contractor constitutes a full accord and satisfaction for any
and all claims and costs of any kind, whether direct or indirect, including but not limited to
impact, delay, or acceleration damages arising from the subject matter of the Change Order.
Each Change Order must be specific and final as to prices and extensions of time, with no
reservations or other provisions allowing for future additional money or time as a result of
the particular changes identified and fully compensated in the Change Order. The execution
of a Change Order by Contractor constitutes conclusive evidence of Contractor’s agreement
to the ordered changes in the Work. This Contract, as amended, forever releases any claim
against Owner for additional time or compensation for matters relating to or arising out of
or resulting from the Work included within or affected by the executed Change Order. This
release applies to claims related to the cumulative impact of all Change Orders and to any
claim related to the effect of a change on unchanged Work.

C. All Change Orders require approval by either the City Council or Owner by administrative
action. The approval process requires a minimum of 45 days after submission in final form
with all supporting data. Receipt of Contractor’s submission by Owner constitutes neither
acceptance nor approval of a Bid, nor a warranty that the Bid will be authorized by City
Council or administrative action. The time required for the approval process may not be
considered a delay and no extensions to the Contract Times or increase in the Contract Price
will be considered or granted as a result of the process. Contractor may proceed with Work
if a Work Change Directive is issued.
D. If the Contractor refuses to execute a Change Order that is required to be executed under
the terms of this Paragraph 11.07, the Change Order is deemed to be in full force as if
executed by Contractor.

the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated by the
Contract Documents.
2. Designer’s review and approval will not extend to means, methods, techniques,
sequences, or procedures of construction or to safety precautions or programs incident
thereto.
3. Designer’s review and approval of a separate item as such will not indicate approval of
the assembly in which the item functions.
B. Comments will be made on items called to the attention of the Designer for review and
comment. Any marks made by the Designer do not constitute a blanket review of the
document submittal or relieve the Contractor from responsibility for errors or deviations
from the Contract requirements.
1. Designer will respond to Contractor’s markups by either making markups directly in the
Shop Drawings file using the color green or by attaching a Document Review Comments
form with review comments.
2. Shop Drawings that are reviewed will be returned with one or more of the following
status designations:
a. Approved: Shop Drawing is found to be acceptable as submitted.
b. Approved as Noted: Shop Drawing is Approved so long as corrections or notations
made by Designer are incorporated into the Show Drawing.
c. Not Approved: Shop Drawing or products described are not acceptable.
3. Shop Drawing will also be designated for one of the following actions:
a. Final distribution: Shop Drawing is acceptable without further action and has been
filed as a record document.
b. Shop Drawing not required: A Shop Drawing was not required by the Contract
Documents. Resubmit the document per Article 26.
c. Cancelled: This action indicates that for some reason, the Shop Drawing is to be
removed from consideration and all efforts regarding the processing of that
document are to cease.
d. Revise and resubmit: Shop Drawing has deviations from the Contract Documents,
significant errors, or is inadequate and must be revised and resubmitted for
subsequent review.
e. Resubmit with corrections made: Shop Drawing is “Approved as Noted,” but has
significant markups. Make correction and notations to provide a revised document
with markup incorporated into the original document so that no markups are
required.
f. Returned without review due to excessive deficiencies: Document does not meet
the requirement of the Specifications for presentation or content to the point
where continuing to review the document would be counterproductive to the
review process or clearly does not meet the requirements of the Contract
Documents. Revise the Shop Drawing to comply with the requirements of this
Section and resubmit.

action is required as a Shop Drawing. Actions d through f require follow up action
to close out the review process.
4. Drawings with a significant or substantial number of markings by the Contractor may be
marked “Approved as Noted” and “Resubmit with corrections made.” These drawings
are to be revised to provide a clean record of the Shop Drawing. Proceed with ordering
products as the documents are revised.
5. Dimensions or other data that does not appear to conform to the Contract Documents
will be marked as “At Variance With” (AVW) the Contract Documents or other
information provided. The Contractor is to make revisions as appropriate to comply
with the Contract Documents.
C. Bring deviations to the Shop Drawings to the attention of the Designer for approval by using
the Shop Drawing Deviation Request form. Use a single line for each requested deviation so
the Status and Action for each deviation can be determined for that requested deviation. If
approval or rejection of a requested deviation will impact other requested deviations, then
all related deviations should be included in that requested deviation line so the status and
action can be determined on the requested deviation as a whole.
D. Requested deviations will be reviewed as possible Modification to the Contract Documents.
1. A Requested deviation will be rejected as “Not Approved” if the requested deviation is
unacceptable. Contractor is to revise and resubmit the Shop Drawing with corrections
for approval.
2. A Field Order will be issued by the Designer for deviations approved by the Designer if
the requested deviation is acceptable and if the requested deviation will not result in a
change in Contract Price or Contract Times. Requested deviations from the Contract
Documents may only be approved by Field Order.
3. A requested deviation will be rejected if the requested deviation is acceptable but the
requested deviation will or should result in a change in Contract Price or Contract Times.
Submit any requested deviation that requires a change in Contract Price or Contract
Times as a Change Proposal for approval prior to resubmitting the Shop Drawing.
E. Contractor is to resubmit the Shop Drawing until it is acceptable and marked Approved or
Approved as Noted and is assigned an action per Paragraph 25.10.B that indicates that the

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

Supplementary Conditions 00 73 00 - 7
Residential Street Rebuild Program Year 2019, Project No. 18164A Rev 8/2019
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
Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted
because those Regional Offices have 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:

Contractor’s expense, a minimum of once a week. Contractor shall coordinate with the
Owner on all testing. Tests will also be performed as each new area of construction is started.
F. Another option for disposal of groundwater by Contractor would include pumping to the
nearest wastewater system. If discharging to temporary holding tanks and trucking to a
wastewater or wastewater plant, the costs for these operations shall be negotiated. Other
groundwater disposal alternatives or solutions may be approved by the Designer on a case
by case basis.
G. Prior to pumping groundwater from a trench to the wastewater system the Contractor shall
contact Wastewater Pre-treatment Coordinator at 826-1817 to obtain a “no cost” permit
from the Owner’s Waste Water Department. Contractor will pay for any water quality testing
or water analysis cost required. The permit will require an estimate of groundwater flow.
Groundwater flow can be estimated by boring a hole or excavating a short trench then record
water level shortly after completion, allow to sit overnight, record water level again, pump
hole or trench dry to a holding tank or vacuum truck then record how long it takes to fill to
original level and overnight level.
1.12 DISPOSAL OF CONTAMINATED GROUNDWATER (NOT APPLICABLE)
A. An allowance will be included in the Bid for the unanticipated disposal of contaminated
groundwater. This allowance may not be needed but is provided in case contaminated
groundwater is encountered during the course of the Project and does not meet the water
quality requirements for discharge into the storm water or wastewater systems. This
allowance includes all materials, tools, equipment, labor, transportation, hauling,
coordination, and proper disposal of the contaminated water at an approved landfill, deep
water injection well, or other site as agreed to by the Designer. Suggested disposal facilities
would be [US Ecology (USET) in Robstown, Texas or Texas Molecular in Corpus Christi,
Texas].
B. The payment for this Work will be based on the Contractor’s actual costs and will be
negotiated. Payment will not include costs associated with routine dewatering, which is
considered subsidiary to the appropriate bid items as described in Paragraph 1.11.
1.13 DISPOSAL OF HIGHLY CHLORINATED WATER

SECTION 022020
EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL FOR UTILITIES
1. DESCRIPTION
This specification shall govern all work for excavation and backfill for utilities required to complete
the project.
2. CONSTRUCTION
(1) Unless otherwise specified on the drawings or permitted by the Engineer, all pipe and
conduit shall be constructed in open cut trenches with vertical sides. Trenches shall be
sheathed and braced as necessary throughout the construction period. Sheathing and bracing
shall be the responsibility of the Contractor (refer to Section 022022 “Trench Safety for
Excavations” of the City Standard Specifications).
Trenches shall have a maximum width of one foot beyond the horizontal projection of the
outside surfaces of the pipe and parallel thereto on each side unless otherwise specified.
The Contractor shall not have more than 200 feet of open trench left behind the trenching
operation and no more than 500 feet of ditch behind the ditching machine that is not
compacted as required by the plans and specifications. No trench or excavation shall remain
open after working hours.
For all utility conduit and sewer pipe to be constructed in fill above natural ground, the
embankment shall first be constructed to an elevation not less than one foot above the top of
the pipe or conduit, after which excavation for the pipe or conduit shall be made.
If quicksand, muck, or similar unstable material is encountered during the excavation, the
following procedure shall be used unless other methods are called for on the drawings. If the
unstable condition is a result of ground water, the Contractor, prior to additional excavation,
shall control it. After stable conditions have been achieved, unstable soil shall be removed or
stabilized to a depth of 2 feet below the bottom of pipe for pipes 2 feet or more in height; and
to a depth equal to the height of pipe, 6 inches minimum, for pipes less then 2 feet in height.
Such excavation shall be carried at least one foot beyond the horizontal limits of the structure
on all sides. All unstable soil so removed shall be replaced with suitable stable material,
placed in uniform layers of suitable depth as directed by the Engineer, and each layer shall be
wetted, if necessary, and compacted by mechanical tamping as required to provide a stable
condition. For unstable trench conditions requiring outside forms, seals, sheathing and
bracing, any additional excavation and backfill required shall be done at the Contractor's
expense.
(2) Shaping of Trench Bottom. The trench bottom shall be undercut a minimum depth sufficient
to accommodate the class of bedding indicated on the plans and specifications.

(3) Dewatering Trench. Pipe or conduit shall not be constructed or laid in a trench in the
presence of water. All water shall be removed from the trench sufficiently prior to the pipe
or conduit planing operation to insure a relatively dry (no standing water), firm bed. The
trench shall be maintained in such dewatered condition until the trench has been backfilled to
a height at lease one foot above the top of pipe. Removal of water may be accomplished by
bailing, pumping, or by installation of well-points, as conditions warrant. Removal of well-
points shall be at rate of 1/3 per 24 hours (every third well-point). The Contractor shall
prevent groundwater from trench or excavation dewatering operations from discharging
directly into the storm water system. Groundwater from dewatering operations shall be
sampled and tested, if applicable, and disposed of, in accordance with City Standard
Specification Section 022021 "Control of Ground Water".
(4) Excavation in Streets. Excavation in streets, together with the maintenance of traffic where
specified, and the restoration of the pavement riding surface, shall be in accordance with
drawing detail or as required by other applicable specifications.
(5) Removing Abandoned Structures. When abandoned masonry structures or foundations are
encountered in the excavation, such obstructions shall be removed for the full width of the
trench and to a depth one foot below the bottom of the trench. When abandoned inlets or
manholes are encountered and no plan provision is made for adjustment or connection to the
new utility, such manholes and inlets shall be removed completely to a depth one foot below
the bottom of the trench. In each instance, the bottom to the trench shall be restored to grade
by backfilling and compacting by the methods provided hereinafter for backfill. Where the
trench cuts through utility lines which are known to be abandoned, these lines shall be cut
flush with the sides of the trench and blocked with a concrete plug in a manner satisfactory to
the Engineer.
(6) Protection of Utilities. The Contractor shall conduct his work such that a reasonable
minimum of disturbance to existing utilities will result. Particular care shall be exercised to
avoid the cutting or breakage of water and gas lines. Such lines, if broken, shall be restored
promptly by the Contractor. When active wastewater lines are cut in the trenching
operations, temporary flumes shall be provided across the trench while open, and the lines
shall be restored when the backfilling has progressed to the original bedding line of the sewer
so cut.
The Contractor shall inform utility owners sufficiently in advance of the Contractor's
operations to enable such utility owners to reroute, provide temporary detours, or to make
other adjustments to utility lines in order that the Contractor may proceed with his work with
a minimum of delay. The Contractor shall not hold the City liable for any expense due to
delay or additional work because of utility adjustments or conflicts.
(7) Excess Excavated Material. All materials from excavation not required for backfilling the
trench shall be removed by the Contractor from the job site promptly following the
completion of work involved.

(8) Backfill
A. Backfill Procedure Around Pipe (Initial Backfill)
All trenches and excavation shall be backfilled as soon as is practical after the pipes or
conduits are properly laid. In addition to the specified pipe bedding material, the backfill
around the pipe as applicable shall be granular material as shown on the standard details or as
described in the applicable specification section, and shall be free of large hard lumps or
other debris. If indicated on the plans, pipe shall be encased with cement-stabilized sand
backfill as described below. The backfill shall be deposited in the trench simultaneously on
both sides of the pipe for the full width of the trench, in layers not to exceed ten (10) inches
(loose measurement), wetted if required to obtain proper compaction, and thoroughly
compacted by use of mechanical tampers to a density comparable to the adjacent undisturbed
soil or as otherwise specified on the plans, but not less than 95% Standard Proctor density. A
thoroughly compacted material shall be in place between the external wall of the pipe and the
undisturbed sides of the trench and to a level twelve (12) inches above the top of the pipe.
B. Backfill Over One Foot Above Pipe (Final Backfill)
UNPAVED AREAS: The backfill for that portion of trench over one (1) foot above the pipe
or conduit not located under pavements (including waterlines, gravity wastewater lines,
wastewater force mains and reinforced concrete storm water pipe) shall be imported select
material or clean, excess material from the excavation meeting the following requirements:
Free of hard lumps, rock fragments, or other debris,
No clay lumps greater than 2" diameter
Moisture Content: +/-3%
Backfill material shall be placed in layers not more than ten (10) inches in depth (loose
measurement), wetted if required to obtain proper compaction, and thoroughly compacted by
use of mechanical tampers to the natural bank density but not less than 95% Standard Proctor
density, unless otherwise indicated. Flooding of backfill is not allowed. Jetting of backfill
may only be allowed in sandy soils and in soils otherwise approved by the Engineer.
Regardless of backfill method, no lift shall exceed 10 inches and density shall not be less
than 95% Standard Proctor density. A period of not less than twenty-four (24) hours shall
elapse between the time of jetting and the placing of the top four (4) feet of backfill. If
jetting is used, the top four (4) feet of backfill shall be placed in layers not more than 10
inches in depth (loose measurement), wetted if required to obtain proper compaction, and
thoroughly compacted by use of mechanical tampers to the natural bank density but not less
than 95% Standard Proctor density (ASTM D698).
PAVED AREAS: At utility line crossings under pavements (including waterlines, gravity
wastewater lines, wastewater force mains, and reinforced concrete storm water pipe), and
where otherwise indicated on the drawings, trenches shall be backfilled as shown below:
From top of initial backfill (typically twelve (12) inches above top of the pipe) to three
(3) feet below bottom of road base course, backfill shall be select material meeting the
requirements of 022100 “Select Material”.

disposing of removed ground water by approved methods. The intent of dewatering is to
increase the stability of tunnel excavations and excavated slopes; prevent dislocation of
material from slopes or bottoms of excavations; reduce lateral loads on sheeting and
bracing; improve excavating and hauling characteristics of excavated material; prevent
failure or heaving of the bottom of excavations; and to provide suitable conditions for
placement of backfill materials and construction of structures, piping and other
installations.
2. Depressurization includes reduction in piezometric pressure within strata not controlled by
dewatering alone, as required to prevent failure or heaving of excavation bottom or
instability of tunnel excavations.
B. Excavation drainage includes keeping excavations free of surface and seepage water.

analysis shall be performed by the Contractor at a minimum of once per week. Contractor shall
coordinate with the City Storm Water Department on all laboratory analysis. Laboratory analysis
of groundwater shall also be performed at each new area of construction prior to discharge from
that location.
D. Sample containers, holding times, preservation methods, and analytical methods, shall either
follow the requirements in 40 CFR Part 136 (as amended), or the latest edition of "Standard
Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater." Any laboratory providing analysis
must be accredited or certified by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality according
to Title 30 Texas Administrative Code (30 TAC) Chapters 25 for the matrices, methods, and
parameters of analysis, if available, or be exempt according to 30 TAC §25.6.
E. Analysis of the ground water discharge shall show it to be equal to or better than the quality of
the first natural body of receiving water. This requires testing of both the receiving water and a
sample of the ground water. All parts of this procedure shall be complete prior to any discharge
of ground water to the storm water system.
F. Steps to Determine Legitimate Discharge:
1. Identify the First Receiving Water.
a) When the first body of water is a fresh water system (Nueces River or Oso Creek), the
analysis typically fails because the local ground water will likely be too high in Total
Dissolved Solids (TDS). In the case of a perched aquifer, the ground water may turn out
fairly fresh, but local experience shows this to be unlikely.
b) If the receiving water is a marine environment, proceed with Step 2 below to compare
the ground water quality to receiving water quality.

2. Compare Ground Water Discharge Quality to Receiving Water Quality.
The following table, Ground Water Discharge Limits, indicates that the parameters to
compare to the receiving water are Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Total Suspended
Solids (TSS). If the ground water results are equal to or better than the receiving water,
then the discharge may be authorized as long as the discharge does not exceed the other
parameters which would indicate hydrocarbon contamination. Note that the receiving
water only needs to be tested initially as a baseline and the ground water shall be tested
weekly to ensure compliance.

3. Analyze Ground Water for Hydrocarbon Contamination.
All other parameters listed on the Ground Water Discharge Limits table must be analyzed
prior to ground water discharge to the storm water system. If no limits are exceeded,
ground water discharge to the storm water system may be authorized following notification
to the MS4 operator (City of Corpus Christi) and all Pollution Prevention Measures for the
project are in place. Analytical results shall be on-site or readily available for review by
local, state or federal inspectors. Note that this step is frequently done simultaneously with
Step 2 above to shorten analytical processing time.
4. Pollution Prevention Measures.
A storm water pollution prevention plan or pollution control plan shall be developed and
implemented prior to any ground water discharges to the storm water system. The plan’s
objectives are to limit erosion and scour of the storm water system, and minimize Total
Suspended Solids (TSS) and other forms of contamination, and prevent any damage to the
storm water system. Note that ground water discharges must cease immediately upon the
first recognition of contamination, either by sensory or analytical methods. If the discharge
of groundwater results in any damages to the storm water system, the responsible party

shall remediate any damage to the storm water system and the environment to the
satisfaction of the Storm Water Department and/or any State or Federal Regulatory Agency.
5. MS4 Operator Notification.
The MS4 operator shall be notified prior to ground water discharge to the storm water
system. Contractor shall contact the designated City MS4 representative to request
authorization to discharge ground water to the storm water system.
Notification shall include:
Project Name:
Responsible Party:
Discharge Location:
Receiving Water:
Estimated Time of Discharge:
Linear Project: Yes / No
Pollution Prevention Measures Implemented:
Statement indicating all sampling and testing has been conducted and meets the
requirements of a legitimate discharge.
G. Discharges to Wastewater System
In the event that the groundwater does not equal or exceed the receiving water quality, an
alternative disposal option would include pumping to the nearest sanitary sewer system.
Discharge to the sanitary sewer system requires a permit from the Wastewater Department. If
discharging to temporary holding tanks and trucking to a sanitary sewer or wastewater treatment
plant, the costs for these operations shall be negotiated.
Contractor shall contact the Pretreatment Group for City Utility Operations to obtain a
Wastewater Discharge Permit Application for authorization to discharge to the wastewater
system . Authorization approval will include review of laboratory analysis of the ground water
and estimated flow data. Note that groundwater discharges must cease immediately upon the
first recognition of contamination, either by sensory or analytical methods. If the discharge of
groundwater results in any damages to the wastewater collection system or wastewater
overflows, the responsible party shall remediate any damage to the wastewater collection system
and the environment to the satisfaction of the Wastewater Department and/or any State or
Federal Regulatory Agency.
H. Other groundwater disposal alternatives or solutions may be approved by the Engineer on a case
by case basis.
3.7 SURFACE WATER CONTROL
A. Intercept surface water and divert it away from excavations through the use of dikes, ditches,
curb walls, pipes, sumps or other approved means.

approved by the City Engineer. Provide settling basins when required by the City Engineer.
C. Storm water that enters the excavation can be pumped out as long as care is taken to minimize
solids and mud entering the pump suction and flow is pumped to a location that allows for sheet
flow prior to entering a storm water drainage ditch or storm water inlet. An alternative to sheet
flow is to pump storm water to an area where ponding occurs naturally without leaving the
designated work area or by manmade berm(s) prior to entering the storm water system. Sheet
flow and ponding is required to allow solids screening and/or settling prior to entering the storm
water system. Storm water or groundwater shall not be discharged to private property.

STREET EXCAVATION
1. DESCRIPTION
This specification shall govern all work for Street Excavation required to complete the project.
2. CONSTRUCTION METHODS
(A) Stripping and Excavation
Strip the top 6 inches in all areas to underlay compacted fill, curbs, base or pavement, by removing
all humus, vegetation and other unsuitable materials. Unless otherwise noted, remove existing
trees, shrubs, fences, curb, gutter, sidewalk, drives, paving, pipe and structures and other items
within the graded area which interfere with new construction of finished grading.
All suitable excavated materials shall be utilized, insofar as practicable, in constructing the required
roadway sections or in uniformly widening embankments, flattening slopes, etc., as directed by the
Engineer, provided that the material meets the requirements for roadway embankment as specified
in Article 3 below. Unwanted or unsuitable roadway excavation and roadway excavation in excess
of that needed for construction shall become the property of the Contractor to be disposed of by him
outside the limits of the right-of-way at a location suitable to the Engineer. "Unsuitable" material
encountered below subgrade elevation in roadway cuts, when declared unwanted by the Engineer,
shall be replaced as directed by the Engineer with suitable material from the roadway excavation or
with other suitable material.
Maintain moisture and density until covered and protected by the subbase or base course. Remove
soft or wet areas found at any time, replace with suitable material, and recompact (especially utility
trenches).
(B) Subgrade Preparation
That area shown on the drawings for street construction shall be cut to grade, scarified to a depth
not less than 6 inches, or as otherwise indicated on the drawings, and compacted to 95% Standard
Proctor density (ASTM D698) to within 0 to +3% of optimum moisture. The section may be
accepted if no more than 1 in 5 of the most recent moisture or density tests is beyond +1% deviation
from the required moisture or density requirement. Irregularities exceeding ½ inch in 16 feet shall
be corrected. Soft areas found at anytime shall be removed, replaced with suitable material and
compacted (especially at utility trenches). The correct moisture density relationship shall be
maintained until the subgrade is protected. Excessive loss of moisture shall be prevented by
sprinkling, sealing, or covering with a subsequent layer. Should the subgrade, due to any reason or
cause, lose the required stability, density, or moisture before it is protected by placement of the next
layer, it shall be re-compacted and refinished and retested at the expense of the Contractor until
acceptable to the City.

(C) Curb Backfill and Topsoil (Sidewalks, Parkways, Islands, etc.)
Fill and compact areas behind curbs and adjacent to sidewalks and driveways within 48 hours after
completion of concrete work. The top 6 inches (where disturbed by construction or where
unsatisfactory material is exposed by excavation) of finish earth grade shall be clean excavated
material or topsoil capable of supporting a good growth of grass when fertilized and seeded or
sodded. It shall be free of concrete, asphalt, shell, caliche, debris and any other material that
detracts from its appearance or hampers the growth of grass. Topsoil shall meet the requirements
specified in City Standard Specification Section 028020 "Seeding".
(D) Matching Grades at Right-of-Way Line
Finish grade at the property line shall be as shown on the drawings. The Engineer may require a
reasonable amount of filling on private property where the sidewalk grade is above the property
elevation. Use suitable material from the excavation. Unless otherwise directed, cuts at right-of -
way lines shall be made at a slope of three horizontal to one vertical (3:1) or flatter.
(E) Drainage
During construction, the roadbed and ditches shall be maintained in such condition as to insure
proper drainage at all times, and ditches and channels shall be so constructed and maintained as to
avoid damage to the roadway section.
All slopes which, in the judgment of the Engineer, require variation, shall be accurately shaped, and
care shall be taken that no material is loosened below the required slopes. All breakage and slides
shall be removed and disposed of as directed.
3. SELECTION OF ROADBED MATERIALS
Where shown on the plans, Select Material shall be utilized to improve the roadbed, in which case
the work shall be performed in such manner and sequence that suitable materials may be selected,
removed separately, and deposited in the roadway within limits and at elevations required. Material
used for roadway embankment shall meet the requirements of City Standard Specification Section
022100 Select Material.
4. GEOGRID
If indicated on the drawings, geogrid shall be placed in the base layer according to the pavement
details to provide a mechanically-stabilized aggregate base layer within the pavement structure.
Geogrid shall be "Tensar TX5 Triaxial Geogrid", or pre-approved equivalent. Use (and approval)
of a different product must be supported by documentation showing that the alternate pavement
section will meet or exceed the required number of 18-kip equivalent single axle loads (ESAL) and
structural number (SN) over the stated pavement design life, and the pavement design must be
sealed and signed by a Texas professional engineer. Documentation must also include the

validated test data. Alternate pavement designs shall utilize the same structural design values for
other pavement structural components (HMAC, base, sub-base) as used in the original pavement
design, and the pavement designs must be approved by the Engineer and the geotechnical
consultant.
Contractor shall take care to protect geogrid from damage. Overlap edges of geogrid in accordance
with the manufacturer's recommendations, but not less than 12 inches. Do not drive tracked
equipment directly on the geogrid. Provide at least 6 inches of compacted aggregate base material
over the geogrid before driving any tracked equipment over the geogrid area. Standard highway-
legal rubber-tired trucks may drive over the geogrid at very slow speeds (less than 5 mph). Avoid
turns and sudden starts and stops when driving on the geogrid. Any damaged geogrid shall be
replaced by the Contractor at no additional cost to the City. Proper replacement shall consist of
replacing the affected area adding 3 feet of geogrid in each direction beyond the limits of the
affected area.

SECTION 022080
EMBANKMENT
1. DESCRIPTION
This specification shall govern all work for Embankment required to complete the project.
2. CONSTRUCTION METHODS
Prior to placing embankment, the area to be covered shall be stripped of all vegetation and the
material so removed shall be disposed of off the job site. Washes, gulleys, wet areas, and yielding
areas shall be corrected as directed by the Engineer.
Unless otherwise indicated on the drawings, the surface of the ground which is to receive
embankment shall be loosened by scarifying or plowing to a depth of not less than 6 inches. The
loosened material shall be recompacted with the new embankment as hereinafter specified.
Embankment shall be placed in layers not to exceed ten (10) inches uncompacted (loose) depth for
the full width of the embankment, unless otherwise noted.
Where embankment is adjacent to a hillside or old roadbed, the existing slope shall be cut in steps
to not less than the vertical depth of an uncompacted layer. The fill material shall be placed from
the low side and compacted. Each layer shall overlap the existing embankment by at least the width
indicated by the embankment slope.
Trees, stumps, roots, vegetation, debris or other unsuitable materials shall not be placed in
embankment.
Each layer of embankment shall be uniform as to material, density and moisture content before
beginning compaction. Where layers of unlike materials abut each other, each layer shall be
feather-edged for at least 100 feet or the material shall be so mixed as to prevent abrupt changes in
the soil. No material placed in the embankment by dumping in a pile or windrow shall be
incorporated in a layer in that position, but all such piles or windrows shall be moved by blading or
similar methods. Clods or lumps of material shall be broken and the embankment material mixed
by blading, harrowing, disking or similar methods to the end that a uniform material of uniform
density is secured in each layer. Except as otherwise required by the drawings, all embankments
shall be constructed in layers approximately parallel to the finished grade and each layer shall be so
constructed as to provide a uniform slope of 1/4 inch per foot from the centerline of the
embankment to the outside.
Each layer shall be compacted to the required density and moisture by any method, type and size of
equipment that will give the required compaction. Prior to and in conjunction with the rolling
operation, each layer shall be brought to the moisture content necessary to obtain the required
density and shall be kept leveled with suitable equipment to insure uniform compaction over the
entire layer.
For each layer of earth embankment and select material, it is the intent of this specification to
provide the density as required herein, unless otherwise shown on the drawings. Soils for

embankment shall be sprinkled with water as required to provide not less than optimum moisture
and compacted to the extent necessary to provide not less than 95% Standard Proctor density
(ASTM D698). Field density determinations will be made in accordance with approved methods.
After each layer of earth embankment or select material is complete, tests, as necessary, will be
made by the Engineer. If the material fails to meet the density specified, the course shall be
reworked as necessary to obtain the specified compaction, and the compaction method shall be
altered on subsequent work to obtain specified density. Such procedure shall be determined by, and
subject to, the approval of the Engineer.
The Engineer may order proof rolling to test the uniformity of compaction of the embankment
layers. All irregularities, depressions, weak or soft spots which develop shall be corrected
immediately by the Contractor.
Should the embankment, due to any reason or cause, lose the required stability, density or moisture
before the pavement structure is placed, it shall be recompacted and refinished at the sole expense
of the Contractor. Excessive loss of moisture in the subgrade shall be prevented by sprinkling,
sealing or covering with a subsequent layer of granular material.
3. SELECTION OF MATERIAL
In addition to the requirement in the excavation items of the specifications covering the general
selection and utilization of materials to improve the roadbed, embankments shall be constructed in
proper sequence to receive the select material layers shown on drawings, with such modifications as
may be directed by the Engineer. The layer of embankment immediately preceding the upper layer
of select material shall be constructed to the proper section and grade within a tolerance of not more
than 0.10 foot from the established section and grade when properly compacted and finished to
receive the select material layer. Select material, when specified, shall meet the requirements in
City Standard Specification Section 022100 "Select Material".
4. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
Unless otherwise specified on the Bid Form, embankment shall not be measured and paid for
separately, but shall be subsidiary to other items of work.

(AASHTO T180), at a moisture content on the wet side of optimum (+3% maximum). Use
mechanical tamps in areas inaccessible to rollers.
Upon completion of compaction, the surface shall be smooth and shall conform to line, grade and
section as shown on the drawings. Areas with any deviation in excess of 1/4 inch in cross-section,
and in lengths of 16 feet measured longitudinally, shall be corrected by loosening, adding or
removing material, reshaping, and re-compacting by sprinkling and rolling. Moisture content shall
be maintained on the wet side of optimum (+3% maximum) until paving is complete.
If required, lime shall be applied in the amount indicated on the drawings. Lime shall be applied
and the treated base mixed, cured, compacted and finished in accordance with City Standard

SECTION 025208 Soil - Cement Base (S-17) 1. DESCRIPTION This specification shall govern all work required for Soil-Cement Base necessary to complete the project. 2. MATERIALS 2.1 Soil. Soil shall consist of approved material free from vegetation or other objectionable matter encountered in the existing roadbed and other acceptance material used in preparation of the roadbed in accordance with this specification. 2.2 Portland Cement. Cement shall be either Type I or II Portland cement. The Contractor, at his option, may use bulk cement, provided the apparatus for handling, weighing and spreading the cement is approved by the Engineer in writing. Cement weighing equipment shall be as specified below. 2.3 Water. Water shall be free from substances deleterious to the hardening of the cement treatment and shall be approved by the Engineer. 3. EQUIPMENT Equipment necessary for the proper construction of the work shall be on the project, in first-class working condition, and be approved by the Engineer, both as to type and condition, prior to the start of construction operations. The Contractor shall at all times provide sufficient equipment to enable continuous execution of the work and its completion in the required number of working days. Portland cement treatment for materials in place may be constructed with any machine or combination of machines and auxiliary equipment that will produce results as outlined in this specification. Mixing may be accomplished by: (1) a multiple-pass traveling mixing plant or (2) a single-pass traveling mixing plant. The equipment provided by the Contractor shall be operated by experienced and capable workmen and shall be that necessary to provide a cement treatment meeting the requirements herein specified. 4. CONSTRUCTION METHODS 4.1 General. It is the primary requirement of this specification to secure a completed course of treated material containing a uniform Portland cement mixture free from loose or segregated areas, of uniform density and moisture content, well bound for its full depth and with a smooth surface suitable for placing subsequent courses. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to regulate the sequence of his work to process a sufficient quantity of material to provide full depth as shown on plans, to use the proper amount of Portland cement, maintain the work and rework the courses as necessary to meet the above requirements. Cement treatment shall not be mixed or placed when the air temperature is below 40F and is falling, but may be mixed or placed when the air temperature is above 35F and is rising, the temperature being taken in

the shade and away from artificial heat and with the further provision that cement treatment shall be mixed or placed only when weather conditions, in the opinion of the Engineer, are suitable. 4.2 Preparation of Roadbed. Before other construction operations are begun, the roadbed shall be graded and shaped as required to construct the Portland cement treatment for material in place in conformance with the lines, grades, thickness and typical cross section shown on the plans. Unsuitable soil or material shall be removed and replaced with acceptable soil. The sub grade shall be firm and able to support without displacing the construction equipment and the compaction hereinafter specified. Soft or yielding sub grade shall be corrected and made stable before construction proceeds. 4.3 Pulverization. The soil shall be so pulverized that, at the completion of moist-mixing, when all non-slaking aggregate retained on the No. 2 sieve are removed, the remaining material shall meet the following requirements when tested from the roadway in the roadway condition by Test Method Tex-101-E (Part III). Percent Minimum passing 1-inch sieve ........ 100 Minimum passing No. 4 sieve ......... 80 Old bituminous wearing surface shall be pulverized so that 100 percent will pass the 2-inch sieve. 4.4 Application of Cement (Road mix). Portland cement shall be spread uniformly on the soil at the rate specified on the plans or approved by the Engineer. If a bulk cement spreader is used, it shall be positioned by string lines or other approved method during spreading to insure a uniform distribution of cement. Cement shall be applied only to such an area that all the operations can be continuous and completed in daylight within 6 hours of such application. The percentage of moisture in the soil, at the time of cement application, shall not exceed the quantity that will permit uniform and intimate mixture of soil and cement during dry mixing operations, and it shall not exceed the specified optimum moisture content for the soil cement mixture. No equipment, except that used in spreading and mixing, will be allowed to pass over the freshly spread cement until it is mixed with the soil. 4.5 Mixing and Processing. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, either method (a) or (b) below may be used at the option of the Contractor. (a) Multiple-Pass Traveling Mixing Plant. After the cement has been applied, it shall be dry-mixed with the soil. Mixing shall continue until the cement has been sufficiently blended with the soil to prevent the formation of cement balls when water is applied. Any mixture of soil and cement that has not been compacted and finished shall not remain undisturbed for more than 30 minutes. Immediately after the dry mixing of soil and cement is complete, water as necessary shall be uniformly applied and incorporated into the mixture.
DocuSign Envelope ID: C24B9717-4D9C-4818-B1A6-904BF8D1B7D8DocuSign Envelope ID: 7CA3FB1C-D56E-478D-AFC7-3EB298FB74AA
025208 12/9/8 Page 3 of 5
Pressurized equipment and water supply provided shall be adequate to insure continuous application of the required amount of water to sections being processed within 3 hours of application of the cement. Proper care shall be exercised to insure proper moisture distribution at all times. After the last increment of water has been added, mixing shall continue until a thorough and uniform mix has been obtained. (b) Single-Pass Traveling Mixing Plant. After the cement has been applied it shall be sufficiently dry-mixed with the soil to prevent the formation of cement balls when water is applied. Un-pulverized soil lumps in the soil cement mixture immediately behind the mixer will not be allowed. Should this condition prevail, the Contractor shall "pre-wet" the raw soil as necessary to correct this condition. The water shall be provided with means for visibly and accurately gauging the water application. The water shall be applied uniformly through a pressure spray bar. After cement is spread, mixing operations shall proceed as follows: The mixer shall in one continuous operation mix the air-dry soil and cement full depth, and the required moisture uniformly, thoroughly moist-mix the soil, cement and water, spread the completed soil cement mixture evenly over the machine processed width of the sub grade and leave it in a loose condition ready for immediate compaction. The soil and cement mixture shall not remain undisturbed, after mixing and before compacting, for more than 30 minutes. 4.6 Compaction and Finishing. The material shall be compacted to not less than 98% standard proctor unless otherwise shown on the plans. At the start of compaction, the percentage of moisture in the mixture and in un-pulverized soil lumps, based on over-dry weights, shall not be below or more than two percentage points above the specified optimum moisture content and shall be less than that quantity which will cause the soil cement mixture to become unstable during compaction and finishing. When the un-compacted soil cement mixture is wetted by rain so that the average moisture content exceeds the tolerance given at the time of final compaction, the entire section shall be reconstructed in accordance with this specification at the sole expense of the Contractor. Prior to the beginning of compaction, the mixture shall be in a loose condition for its full depth. The loose mixture then shall be uniformly compacted to the specified density within 2 hours. After the soil and cement mixture, excepting the top mulch, is compacted, water shall be uniformly applied as needed and thoroughly mixed in with a spike tooth harrow or equal. The surface shall then be reshaped to its required lines, grades and cross section and then lightly scarified to loosen any imprint left by the compacting or shaping equipment. The resulting surface shall be thoroughly rolled with a pneumatic tire roller and "clipped", "skinned" or "tight bladed" by a power grader to a depth necessary to remove all loosened soil and cement from the section. The surface shall then be thoroughly compacted with the pneumatic roller, adding small increments of moisture as needed during rolling. If plus No. 4 aggregate is present in the mixture; one complete coverage of the section with the flat wheel roller shall be made immediately after the "clipping" operation. When directed by the Engineer, surface finishing methods may be varied from this procedure provided a dense, uniform surface, free of surface compaction planes, is produced. The moisture
DocuSign Envelope ID: C24B9717-4D9C-4818-B1A6-904BF8D1B7D8DocuSign Envelope ID: 7CA3FB1C-D56E-478D-AFC7-3EB298FB74AA
025208 12/9/8 Page 4 of 5
content of the surface material must be maintained at its specified optimum during all finishing operations. Surface compaction, rolling, blading and finishing shall proceed in such a manner as to produce a smooth, closely knit surface, free of cracks, ridges or loose material conforming to the crown, grade and line shown on the plans, within 3 hours of initial mixing. 5. CURING 5.1 Protection and Cover. After the cement treated course has been finished as specified herein, the surface shall be protected against rapid drying by either of the following curing methods for a period shown on plans but in no case less than 3 days or until the surface or subsequent courses are placed: (a) Maintain in a thorough and continuously moist condition by sprinkling. (b) Apply a 2-inch layer of earth on the completed course and maintain in a moist condition. (c) Apply a single course surface treatment. Unless shown otherwise on the plans, the asphalt shall be HFRS-2, in accordance with "Asphalts, Oils and Emulsions" in the Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation Standard Specifications. The single course surface treatment shall be placed in accordance with Section 025418 "Surface Treatment, except HFRS-2 asphalt shall be used in lieu of AC-5 and the asphalt shall be applied at .5 gallons per square yard. 5.2 Surface. The surface or other base courses may be applied on the finished base as soon after completion as operations will permit. 6. CONSTRUCTION JOINTS At the end of each day's construction, a straight transverse construction joint shall be formed by cutting back into the total width of completed work to form a true vertical face free of loose and shattered material. Cement treatment for large, wide areas shall be built in a series of parallel lanes of convenient length and width meeting and approval of the Engineer. 7. TRAFFIC Completed sections of cement treated material in place may be opened immediately to local traffic and to construction equipment after application of the single course surface treatment and to all traffic after the final surface course, provided the cement treated course has hardened sufficiently to prevent marring or distorting the surface by equipment or traffic. 8. MAINTENANCE The Contractor shall be required, within the limits of his contract, to maintain the cement treated course in good condition until all work has been completed and accepted. Maintenance shall include immediate repairs of any defects that may occur. This work shall be done by the Contractor at his own expense and repeated as often as may be necessary to keep the area continuously intact. Faulty work shall be replaced for the full depth of treatment. It is the intent of this specification that the Contractor constructs the plan depth of cement treatment in one homogeneous mass.

4. CONSTRUCTION METHODS
General - It is the primary requirement of this specification to secure a completed course of treated
material containing a uniform lime mixture, free from loose or segregated areas, of uniform density
and moisture content, well bound for its full depth and with a smooth surface suitable for placing
subsequent courses. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to regulate the sequence of his
work, to use the proper amount of lime, maintain the work and rework the courses as necessary to
meet the above requirements.
Application - Lime shall be spread only on that area where the first mixing operations can be
completed during the same working day.
Unless otherwise shown on drawings, lime shall be applied at a rate in pounds of dry-hydrated lime
per square yard, in the form of a slurry. Application rate may be varied by the Engineer, if
conditions warrant, but no less than 6% must be applied.
Certification of lime quantity and quality shall be provided as required to monitor the application.
Certification should be in the form of weight tickets which indicate the actual weight of dry
hydrated lime, CA(OH)2 .
The application and mixing of lime with the material shall be accomplished by the method
hereinafter described.
The lime shall be mixed with water in trucks with approved distributors and applied as a thin water
suspension or slurry.
Mixing - The mixing procedure shall be as hereinafter described.
(a) First Mixing: The material and lime shall be thoroughly mixed by approved road mixers or
other approved equipment, and the mixing continued until, in the opinion of the Engineer, a
homogeneous, friable mixture of material and lime is obtained, free from all clods or lumps.
Materials containing plastic clays or other material which will not readily mix with lime
shall be mixed as thoroughly as possible at the time of the lime application, brought to the
proper moisture content and left to cure 1 to 4 days as directed by the Engineer. During the
curing period, the material shall be kept moist as directed.
(b) Final Mixing: After the required curing time, the material shall be uniformly mixed by
approved methods. If the soil binder-lime mixture contains clods, they shall be reduced in
size by raking, blading, discing, harrowing, scarifying or the use of other approved
pulverization methods so that, when all nonslaking aggregates retained on the No. 4 sieve
are removed, the remainder of the material shall meet the following requirements when
tested dry by laboratory sieves:

Minimum Passing 1" Sieve .................................................. 100
Minimum Passing No. 4 Sieve ............................................. 85
Old bituminous wearing surface shall be pulverized so that 100% will pass a 2 ½" sieve.
During the interval of time between applications and mixing, hydrated lime that has been
exposed to the open air for a period of 6 hours or more, or to excessive loss due to washing
or blowing, will not be accepted for payment.
Compaction - Compaction of the mixture shall begin immediately after final mixing and in no case
later than 3 calendar days after final mixing, unless approval is obtained from the Engineer. The
material shall be aerated or sprinkled as necessary to provide the optimum moisture. Compaction
shall begin at the bottom and shall continue until the entire depth of mixture is uniformly
compacted as hereinafter specified.
If the total thickness of the material to be treated cannot be mixed in one operation, the previously
mixed material shall be bladed to a windrow just beyond the area to be treated and the next layer
mixed with lime as previously specified. The first layer of the material shall be compacted in such
a manner that the treated material will not be mixed with the underlying material.
The course shall be sprinkled as required to maintain moisture content on the wet side of optimum
and compacted to the extent necessary to provide the specified density. Unless shown otherwise on
the drawings, all lime treated subgrades, sub-bases, and bases that are not in direct contact with
surface or binder course shall be compacted to a minimum of 95% Standard Proctor density
(AASHTO T99), unless otherwise specified.
In addition to the requirements specified for density, the full depth of the material shown on the
plans shall be compacted to the extent necessary to remain firm and stable under construction
equipment. After each section is completed, tests, as necessary, will be made by the Engineer. If
the material fails to meet the density requirements, it shall be reworked as necessary to meet these
requirements.
Rework, when required to meet pulverization requirements or density requirements, shall include
the addition of lime, about 10% to 15% of the initial application rate, or as deemed necessary by the
Engineer. A new optimum density will be obtained.
Throughout this entire operation, the shape of the course shall be maintained by blading, and the
surface, upon completion, shall be smooth and in conformity with the typical section shown on the
drawings and to the established lines and grades.

6.7. In-Place Density. In-place density control is required for all mixtures except for thin,
irregular level-up courses. Material should be compacted to between 96% and 92% of
maximum theoretical density or between 4% and 8% air voids. Average density shall be
greater than 92% and no individual determination shall be lower than 90%. Testing shall be
in accordance with TxDOT Test Methods TEX-207-F and TEX-227-F.
Pavement specimens, which shall be either cores or sections of the compacted mixture, will
be tested as required to determine the percent air voids. Other methods, such as nuclear
determination of in-place density, which correlate satisfactorily with actual project specimens
may be used when approved by the Engineer.
6.8. Thickness. The total compacted average thickness of the combined HMAC courses
shall not be less than the amount specified on the drawings. No more than 10% of the
measured thickness(es) shall be more than 1/4 inch less than the plan thickness(es). If so, the
quantity for pay shall be decreased as deemed appropriate by the Engineer.
6.9. Surface Smoothness Criteria and Tests. The pavement surface after compaction, shall
be smooth and true to the established lines, grade and cross-section. The surface shall be
tested by the City with the Mays Roughness Meter. The Mays Roughness Value for each
600-foot section shall not exceed ninety inches per mile per traffic lane.
For each 600-foot section not meeting this criteria, the Engineer shall have the option of
requiring that section to be reworked to meet the criteria, or paying an adjusted unit price for
the surface course. The unit price adjustment shall be made on the following basis:
Adjusted Unit Price = (Adjustment Factor) X Surface Course Unit Bid Price
The adjustment factor shall be:
For Residential Streets:
Adjustment Factor = 1.999 - 0.0111 M
For All Other Class Streets (Non Residential)
Adjustment Factor = 1.287 - 0.0143 M
Where M = Mays Roughness Value
In no case shall the Contractor be paid more than the unit bid price. If the surface course is
an inverted penetration (surface treatment) the Mays Roughness Value observed will be
reduced by ten inches per mile, prior to applying the above criteria.
Localized defects (obvious settlements, humps, ridges, etc.) shall be tested with a ten-foot
straightedge placed parallel to the roadway centerline. The maximum deviation shall not

exceed 1/8 inch in ten feet. Areas not meeting this criteria shall be corrected to the
satisfaction of the Engineer.
Pavement areas having surface irregularities, segregation, raveling or otherwise deemed
unacceptable by the Engineer shall be removed and replaced by the Contractor in a manner
approved by the Engineer, at no additional cost to the City.
6.10. Opening to Traffic. The pavement shall be opened to traffic when directed by the
Engineer. The Contractor's attention is directed to the fact that all construction traffic
allowed on pavement open to the public will be subject to the State laws governing traffic on
highways.
If the surface ravels, it will be the Contractor's responsibility to correct this condition at his

D. Provisional Qualification. CST/M&P will grant provisional qualification after successful
completion of the laboratory and field evaluations including NTPEP testing, when
applicable. CST/M&P will send notification of provisional qualification, including the
date of placement on the MPL, within one month after completion of the field evaluations.
Failure to complete all project evaluation requirements successfully is grounds for
cancellation of provisional qualification.
E. Project Evaluation. Once the material is provisionally qualified and listed on the MPL,
provide CST/M&P with project information for the first three jobs supplied with the
RPMs and additional projects if requested. RPMs must meet the same performance criteria
as for the field evaluation to receive full qualification. CST/M&P will return the project
evaluation results after the 12-month evaluation of each project.
1. Full Qualification. CST/M&P will grant full pre-qualification and continue to list
materials meeting all requirements of this specification on the MPL.
Pre-qualification requires extensive field evaluations. It is critical that no significant
changes are made to the RPMs' composition, manufacturing process, or design during
or after pre-qualification without notifying CST/M&P. It is also critical that the RPMs
provided be uniform, with minimum variations from marker to marker. Significant
changes not reported by the manufacturer or variations in product, as determined by the
Director of CST/M&P, may be cause for removal from the MPL.

DMS - 6130
BITUMINOUS ADHESIVE FOR PAVEMENT MARKERS
EFFECTIVE DATE: JANUARY 2008
6130.1. Description. This Specification establishes the requirements for bituminous type hot-
melt adhesive used for the placement of pavement markers. Two types are addressed: standard
bituminous marker adhesive consisting of an asphalt base with homogeneously mixed mineral
filler; and flexible bituminous marker adhesive consisting of a highly polymer modified asphalt.
Either adhesive must be suitable for bonding ceramic and plastic markers to hydraulic cement
concrete, asphaltic concrete, and chip-sealed road surfaces and be applicable when road surface
and marker temperatures are in the approximate range of 4–71°C (40–160°F).
The composition of the adhesive must be such that its properties will not deteriorate when heated
to and applied at temperatures up to 218°C (425°F) using either air or oil-jacketed melters.
6130.2. Units of Measurements. The values given in parentheses (if provided) are not standard
and may not be exact mathematical conversions. Use each system of units separately. Combining
values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.
6130.3. Material Requirements.
A. Adhesive Properties. The adhesive must be smooth and homogeneous, containing no
visible particles, and must comply with the requirements in Table 1.

Section 6130.4.
6130.4. Test Methods.
A. Heat Stability Flow. To determine the heat stability flow, place 1000 g of adhesive in a
loosely-covered quart can, heat to 218°C (425°F) and maintain at this temperature 4 hours
before performing the flow test.
B. Extraction and Abson Recovery. Use this procedure to separate and recover the base
asphalt from the adhesive. Heat the adhesive just to the point where it will easily flow.
Transfer between 125 and 150 g into a 1000-mL (1-qt.) Erlenmeyer flask containing
400 mL (13.5 fl. oz.) of trichloroethylene with a temperature of 52–66°C (125–150°F).
Stir this mixture thoroughly to dissolve the asphalt. Decant the solvent-asphalt mixture.
Recover the base asphalt from solvent according to Tex-211-F, but begin with the
centrifuge step; the primary distillation is not necessary. Repeat the above extraction-
recovery method as necessary to obtain the desired quantity of asphalt.
C. Filler Separation Technique. Use this procedure to separate the filler material from the
asphalt and determine the filler content of the adhesive. Weigh 10.00 ± 0.01 g of solid
adhesive, broken into small pieces, into a centrifuge flask with approximately 100 mL
(3.5 fl. oz.) volume such as that specified in ASTM D 1796. Add 50 mL (1.7 fl. oz.) of
trichloroethylene to the adhesive. Swirl or stir the mixture with a fine rod, taking care not

to lose any solids. Place the sample flask in a balanced centrifuge and spin using a
minimum relative centrifugal force of 150 (as determined in ASTM D 1796, Section 6.)
Remove the sample flask and decant the solvent, taking care not to lose any solids.
Repeatedly add more solvent, centrifuge, and decant until the solvent becomes clear and
the filler appears free of asphalt. Dry the recovered filler at 71 ± 3°C (160 ± 5°F) to
remove solvent. Weigh the dried filler. Filter the decanted solvent through a filter paper
with a 20–25 µm retention factor to verify there is no loss of filler. Calculate the filler
content as a percentage of the original sample weight.
D. Filler Fineness. Use this procedure to determine the filler fineness. Use the same
apparatus as described in ASTM C 430, except also use 75µm (No. 200) and 150 µm
(No. 100) sieves. Prepare a water solution containing 1 wt. percent of a nonionic, water-
soluble surfactant, such as Triton X-100, beforehand. Thoroughly wet the 1 g dry sample
in the surfactant solution and allow it to soak for 30 min. Transfer the filler completely
into the 45 µm (No. 325) sieve cup. Wash the sample with the water spray, as described in
ASTM C 430, Section 5, for 2 min., adding surfactant solution as needed to disperse any
clumped particles. Dry and weigh the sample and perform calculations as directed in
ASTM C 430. Repeat the procedure using the other two sieve sizes.
6130.5. Acceptance. Bituminous adhesives are pre-qualified in accordance with Tex-538-C.
Consult “Bituminous Marker Adhesive” for a list of materials currently pre-qualified under this
procedure.
6130.6. Packaging and Labeling. Package the adhesive in self-releasing cardboard containers
with essentially flat and parallel top and bottom surfaces such that the packages will stack
properly. Each package must have a net weight of either 23 or 27 kg (50 or 60 lb.) and must
weigh within 1 kg (2 lb.) of the stated quantity.
Self-releasing cardboard dividers, which will separate each package into sections weighing no
more than 7 kg (15 lb.) each, must be part of the packaging.
Each package must display:
• the manufacturer’s name,
• net weight,
• lot or batch number, and
• a product name that clearly identifies the material as either standard or flexible bituminous
marker adhesive.

3. CONSTRUCTION METHODS
Reinforced concrete pipe culverts shall be constructed from the specified materials in accordance
with the following methods and procedures:
1. Excavation. All excavation shall be in accordance with the requirements of City
Standard Specification Section 022020 "Excavation and Backfill for Utilities," except
where tunneling or jacking methods are shown on the plans or permitted by the Engineer.
When pipe is laid in a trench, the trench, when completed and shaped to receive the pipe,
shall be of sufficient width to provide free working space for satisfactory bedding and
jointing and thorough tamping of the backfill and bedding material under and around the
pipe. The Contractor shall make such temporary provisions as may be necessary to insure
adequate drainage of the trench and bedding during the construction operation. Pipe shall
be placed such that the identification markings are visible at the top prior to backfill.
2. Bedding. The pipe shall be bedded in accordance with the bedding details shown on the
drawings. Bedding shall not be measured for pay, but shall be subsidiary to other work.
If the subgrade of the trench is unstable, even if this condition occurs at relatively shallow
depths, full encasement of the pipe with crushed stone shall be required.
3. Laying Pipe. Unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer, the laying of pipe on the
prepared foundation shall be started at the outlet (downstream) end with the spigot or
tongue end pointing downstream, and shall proceed toward the inlet (upstream) end with the
abutting sections properly matched, true to the established lines and grades. Where bell and
spigot pipe are used, cross trenches shall be cut in the foundation to allow the barrel of the
pipe to rest firmly upon the prepared bed. These cross trenches shall be not more than two
inches larger than the bell ends of the pipe. Proper facilities shall be provided for hoisting
and lowering the sections of pipe into the trench without disturbing the prepared foundation
and the sides of the trench. The ends of the pipe shall be carefully cleaned before the pipe is
placed. As each length of pipe is laid, the mouth of the pipe shall be protected to prevent
the entrance of earth or bedding material. The pipe shall be fitted and matched so that when
laid in the bed, it shall form a smooth, uniform conduit. When elliptical pipe with circular
reinforcing or circular pipe with elliptical reinforcing is used, the pipe shall be laid in the
trench in such position that the markings "TOP" or "BOTTOM" shall not be more than 5
degrees from the vertical plane through the longitudinal axis of the pipe.
For pipe over 42 inches in diameter, the Contractor may drill two holes not larger than 2
inches in diameter, in the top of each section of the pipe, to aid in lifting and placing.
The holes shall be neatly drilled, without spalling of the concrete, and shall be done without
the cutting of any reinforcement. After the pipe is laid, the holes shall be filled with mortar
and properly cured, and placed such that they are visible from the top for inspection prior to
backfill.
Multiple installations of reinforced concrete pipe shall be laid with the center lines of

4. Jointing.
a. If the use of Portland cement mortar joints is allowed, all pipe shall be jointed tight
and sealed with stiff mortar, composed of one part Portland cement and two parts
sand, so placed as to form a durable water-tight joint. The installation shall be as
required by the Engineer.
b. Joints using Rubber Gaskets: Where rubber gasket pipe joints are required by the
plans, the joint assembly shall be made according to the recommendations of the
gasket manufacturer. Water-tight joints will be required when using rubber gaskets.
c. Joints using Cold-Applied Preformed Plastic Gaskets shall be made as follows:
A suitable prime of the type recommended by the manufacturer of the gasket joint
sealer shall be brush-applied to the tongue and groove joint surfaces and the end
surfaces and allowed to dry and harden. No primer shall be applied over mud, sand
or dirt or sharp cement protrusions. The surface to be primed must be clean and dry
when primer is applied.
Before laying the pipe in the trench, the plastic gasket sealer shall be attached
around the tapered tongue or tapered groove near the shoulder or hub of each pipe
joint. The paper wrapper shall be removed from one side only of the two-piece
wrapper on the gasket and pressed firmly to the clean, dry pipe joint surface. The
outside wrapper shall not be removed until immediately before pushing the pipe into
its final position.
When the tongue is correctly aligned with the flare of the groove, the outside
wrapper on the gasket shall be removed and the pipe shall be pulled or pushed home
with sufficient force and power (backhoe shovel, chain hoist, ratchet hoist or winch)
to cause the evidence of squeeze-out of the gasket material on the inside or outside
around the complete pipe joint circumference. The extruded gasket material shall be
smoothed out over the joint on the exterior and interior of the pipe. Any joint
material pushed out into the interior of the pipe that would tend to obstruct the flow
shall be removed. (Pipe shall be pulled home in a straight line with all parts of the
pipe on line and grade at all times.) Backfilling of pipe laid with plastic gasket
joints may proceed as soon as the joint has been inspected and approved by the
Engineer. Special precautions shall be taken in placing and compacting backfill to
027402

avoid damage to the joints.
When the atmospheric temperature is below 60 degrees F, plastic joint seal gaskets
shall either be stored in an area warmed to above 70 degrees F, or artificially
warmed to this temperature in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. Gaskets shall
then be applied to pipe joints immediately prior to placing pipe in the trench,
followed by connection to previously laid pipe.
d. Pipe Joints for storm sewers shall be wrapped with geotextile material. The
geotextile wrap shall be at least 2 feet wide and shall be centered on each joint.
5. After the pipe has been placed, bedded and jointed as specified, filling and/or backfilling
shall be done in accordance with the applicable requirements of City Standard Specification
Section 022020 "Excavation and Backfill for Utilities." If unstable conditions are
encountered, fully encase the pipe with crushed stone as described above. When mortar
joints are allowed, no fill or backfill shall be placed until the jointing material has been
cured for at least six (6) hours.
Special precautions shall be taken in placing and compacting the backfill to avoid any
movement of the pipe or damage to the joints. For side drain culverts and all other culverts
where joints consist of materials other than mortar, immediate backfilling will be permitted.
6. Unless otherwise shown on the plans or permitted in writing by the Engineer, no heavy
earth moving equipment will be permitted to haul over the structure until a minimum of 4
feet of permanent or temporary compacted fill has been placed thereon. Pipe damaged by
the Contractor's equipment shall be removed and replaced by the Contractor at no additional
cost.
7. Cleaning and Television Inspection. All enclosed reinforced concrete pipe and manholes
installed on this project shall be cleaned and televised in accordance with City Standard
Specification Section 027611 "Cleaning and Televised Inspection of Conduits."
4. MEASUREMENT
Unless otherwise specified on the Bid Form, reinforced concrete pipe will be measured by the
linear foot. Such measurement will be made between the ends of the pipe barrel along its central
axis. Where spurs or branches, or connections to existing pipe lines are involved, measurement
of the spur or new connecting pipe will be made from the intersection of its center axis with the
outside surfaces of the pipe into which it connects. Where inlets, headwalls, catch basins,
manholes, junction chambers, or other structures are included in lines of pipe, that length of pipe
tying into the structure wall will be included for measurement but no other portion of the
structure length or width will be so included.
For multiple pipes, the measured length will be the sum of the lengths of the barrels measured as
prescribed above.

SECTION 027611
CLEANING AND TELEVISED INSPECTION OF CONDUITS
1. SCOPE
This specification shall govern for all work, equipment, supervision and materials
required to provide for cleaning and remote CCTV inspection and documentation of
wastewater or other lines and manholes as required.
2. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
2.1 General
Closed circuit television inspection will typically be done under one or more of
the conditions listed below. Requirements for on-screen labeling during each line
segment set up, televising, video file labeling and hard copy inspection reports
will be specifically addressed. The Contractor shall neither request nor receive
assistance from the City, in the performance of work described in this
specification. Unless otherwise specified and at Contractors expense, the
Contractor shall provide for the control of wastewater flows and monitoring of the
collection system for back-ups and surcharges, while flow control devices are in
place.
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor(s) to adhere to all applicable OSHA
rules and regulations while performing any and all City-related projects or jobs (to
include, but not necessarily limited to “Confined Space Entry”.
2.2 Inspection Equipment and Methods
Electronic media shall be used to record the condition of all the segments of the
mains and the manholes, tap locations and unusual situations during inspection.
The inspection imaging shall be made on color professional grade DVD format
for each line segment. All observations will require both audio and on-screen
display. The camera shall transit through the wastewater line in either direction at
a speed not greater than 30 feet per minute, stopping as necessary to permit proper
documentation of the wastewater line’s condition. Lighting for the camera shall
be suitable to allow a clear picture of the entire periphery of the pipe. A
television camera with pan and tilt capability will be required. The camera,
television monitor, and other components of the video systems shall be capable of
producing picture quality to the satisfaction of the City.
The capture system shall have the capability of recording, digitizing and storing
single frames of video images and “real time” live video, as well as collecting,
storing and printing wastewater line inspection data for graphic display and report
generation. The imaging capture system shall store digitized picture images, have
the ability to export picture files to industry standard formats (jpg, bmp, and tif),
be transferable to DVD and be printed at no cost to the City. Use of proprietary
software is discouraged; however, if the Contractor provides the software and

three licenses to the City, proprietary software COMPATIBLE with the City’s
GIS and existing database systems in use may be approved. However, in every
case all observations will be recorded using the City approved PACP codes.
2.3 Flow Control / By-Passing
This procedure will be used on all previously accepted (City owned) line
segments. Except for new wastewater line acceptance inspections, the line shall
be dewatered during inspection. A water jet cleaning unit will normally be
running in the line in advance of the television camera to allow the highest quality
picture available. Dewatering shall remove standing water and fog from the line
segment to provide 360 degree view of the pipe being televised. Too high water
level or the camera being submerged will be grounds for rejection of the
inspection.
All wastewater flows from intersecting lines shall typically be controlled through
the use of in-line plugs for vacuum trucks and are considered subsidiary to the
inspection for all line sizes. Plugs in intersecting lines shall be installed by the
Contractor with no assistance from the City. The Contractor shall also monitor
the upstream system for back-ups and surcharges, which may lead to Sanitary
Sewer Overflows (SSOs). The Contractor shall immediately report to the City
Call Center (361) 826-2489 all sanitary sewer overflows. Flow Control devices
shall be installed in accordance with all applicable OSHA requirements,
including, but not necessarily limited to confined space protocol.
2.4 Evaluation of Existing Lines for Potential Repairs/Rehabilitation – Pre CCTV:
Cleaning and televising using a CCTV camera may be needed to traverse each
line segment from manhole to manhole as specified in the work order. When an
obstruction prevents the camera from proceeding, the obstruction will be recorded
on the initial setup and a reverse setup will be attempted to view the pipe and
obstruction from the other side. If the camera fails to pass through the entire
section, the inspection shall be considered complete and no additional inspection
will be required. However, the line segment evaluation form, as well as the
graphic report, shall note full line length and the length traveled from each
manhole set-up. All inspection efforts on the line segment will be recorded on the
same tape / disk. The Contractor must exert all reasonable effort to televise the
entire length of a segment of wastewater line, or to assist the repair crews with
usable information for point repair. Prior to transiting the line the video display
initially is to include upstream and downstream manhole numbers, pipe size /
material, adjacent street names and the date. During the transit the display must
show the continuous distance from the insertion manhole with an accuracy of
+1% of the actual length to help mark observations on the report form. The video
must have narrative documentation of notable observations. The Inspection
Report shall consist of condition observations recorded using City-approved
computer software generated formats, generally conforming to NASSCO and
PACP codes. Specifically, items considered notable include: deviations in
alignment and grade; abnormal conditions of the pipe barrel and joints; locations

and quantities of any sources of infiltration or inflow; dropped, broken, properly /
improperly installed service taps; debris, roots or other impediments to flow and
any other condition that may prevent either the proper completion of the
inspection, or affect any proposed rehabilitation process. Evaluation of existing
lines includes associated manhole inspection.
2.5 Evaluation After Repairs / Rehabilitation Post CCTV:
Following repairs or rehabilitation to existing lines (by Contractor), a CCTV
camera shall travel through required line segment to televise. The intent of this
process is to inspect the interior of the line to determine the location of repairs,
and extent of any unacceptable work. Prior to transiting the line the video display
initially is to include upstream and downstream manhole numbers, pipe size /
material, adjacent street names and the date. During the transit the display must
show the continuous distance from the insertion manhole with an accuracy of +/-
1% of the actual length to help mark observations on the report form.
Specifically, items such as detailed inspection of the repaired area using pan-and-
tilt equipment will be shown in the Inspection Report, including digital
photographs of acceptable or inadequate and/or questionable work. The video
must include narrative documentation of notable observations, and be cross
referenced to the Inspection Report. The Inspection Report shall consist of
condition observations recorded using City-approved computer-software
generated formats conforming to NASSCO and PACP codes.
2.6 New Pipeline Inspection:
Upon completion of the installation of new lines, including any appurtenances
such as manholes, service connections, etc., a CCTV camera shall traverse
through each completed line segment. The intent of this process is to inspect the
interior of the completed line to determine the location of service taps and extent
of omissions and/or any unacceptable work on the pipeline or manholes, such as
sags, infiltration, gapped joints, protruding gaskets, etc. Prior to transiting the
line, the initial video shall initially include the upstream and downstream manhole
designations, pipe size, project name and other pertinent information. When
inspecting / documenting new wastewater line conditions, the Contractor must
conduct a specific inspection for the presence of sags in the newly installed line.
The approved method involves the use of an inclinometer on the camera. The
belly tolerance is 5% or less for acceptable pipe installation. Any deviation from
the 5% belly tolerance limit must be approved by the applicable Utility Operating
Department.
The graphic report will note the start and stop of sags and approximate maximum
depth. During the transit the display must show the continuous distance from the
insertion manhole with an accuracy of +1% of the actual length to help mark
observations on the Inspection Report form. The video must include narrative
documentation of notable observations, and be cross referenced to the Inspection

Report. The Inspection Report shall consist of condition observations recorded
using approved computer-software generated formats. Specifically, items such as
deviations in alignment and grade causing bellies / sags; abnormal conditions of
the pipe barrel and joints; locations and quantities of any sources of infiltration or
inflow; dropped, broken, properly / improperly installed service taps or any other
condition that may assist the Utilities Department in determining the quality of the
pipeline installation.
2.7 Manhole Inspection:
A CCTV camera shall traverse the manhole from top to bottom to record the
condition of the manhole and invert for structural condition and sources of
infiltration on the manhole and invert. The initial video display must show the
entry manhole number, location / street address, date and depth.
a. The requirement is to commence capturing video at ground level. The video
must be steady while panning and lowering to clearly record condition of the
ring, corbel, the walls, and pipeline penetrations. The camera is to rotate
during descent to inspect typical conditions and all penetrations. At the
bottom of the manhole the complete invert will be inspected / viewed for
infiltration and general condition. A washed out picture due to sunlight or
shaking will be rejected for payment
b. This manhole information may be retained on the same DVD if the line
segment is also being investigated, or, if inspection is issued as a separate
work order, a separate DVD and report will be required. As with pipeline
inspection, digital photographs of key points of note must accompany the
report and DVD. These would include seals on pipeline penetration,
infiltration locations and other anomalies.
c. The format of the Manhole Inspection Report will be as proposed by the
Contractor and, following discussion, mutually approved by the Utilities
Department and the Contractor. A sample form is included at the end of this
specification. It will contain as a minimum:
location & I.D.number manhole diameter
manhole material depth of manhole
condition of ring / cover evidence of infiltration
condition of walls presence of inflow inhibitor
condition of pipe mouths presence of coatings
condition of invert location: street / easement
above invert penetrations
2.8 CCTV Set-up:
a. A CCTV set-up includes all of the work, equipment, supervision, personnel,
and materials needed to traverse a line segment.

SODDING
1. DESCRIPTION
This specification shall govern all work necessary for furnishing and placing sod as required to
complete the project.
2. MATERIALS
Fertilizer: All fertilizer used shall be delivered in bags or containers with clearly marked
analysis. A granulated fertilizer shall be used with an analysis of 10-20-10.
These figures represent the percent of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash
nutrients, respectively, as determined by the methods of the Association of
Official Agricultural Chemists. The rate of application shall be not less than 350
pounds per acre (7.23 lb. per 100 SY). In the event that it is necessary to
substitute a fertilizer with a different analysis, it shall be granulated fertilizer with
a lower concentration. The total nutrients applied per unit area shall not be less
that the specified amount of each nutrient.
Sod: Sod shall consist of live Bermuda grass with thickly matted roots throughout the
soil and with a minimum thickness of 3 inches or 0.25 foot, or live St. Augustine
with thickly matted roots throughout the soil with a minimum thickness of 1 inch
or 0.08 foot. The Contractor shall not use sod where grass is thinned out. Grass
shall be mowed and raked to remove all weeds and long stems prior to extraction
at the source. Sod and soil shall be kept moist at all times during the sodding
process. Care must be taken at all times to retain native soil on the root system.
Water: Water shall be free from oils, acids, alkalis, and salts that may inhibit grass
growth. Unless indicated otherwise on the drawings, water shall be provided by
the City and shall be transported and applied by the Contractor.
3. CONSTRUCTION METHODS
Spot Sodding: Prior to planting, the area to be sodded shall be graded and shaped. Squares of
sod with a minimum width of 3 inches shall be planted in rows on 15-inch
centers in both directions. Sod shall be placed so that it is firmly against the
bottom of the hole, and the top of the sod shall not be more than 1/2 inch below
finished grade. Soil shall be firmly packed against all sides of the sod. Soil shall
not be allowed to cover the sod except for soil incidental to raking, provided that
the quantity of soil is not enough to hinder the growth. Areas to be spot sodded
shall be indicated on the drawing or as directed by the Engineer in field. After
sod has been planted, the area shall be fertilized and watered.

Block Sodding: Prior to planting, the area to be sodded shall be graded and shaped. Sod blocks
shall be uniformly placed over the prepared area. The sodded area shall then be
fertilized and watered. After the area is sufficiently dry, the area shall be rolled
or tamped to form a thoroughly compacted mat. Any voids in the mats shall be
filled with additional sod and tamped. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, slopes
may cause displacement, areas to be block sodded shall be indicated on the
drawings or as directed by the Engineer in the field.
Mulch Sodding: The sod source shall be disked in two directions cutting the sod thoroughly to a
depth of not less than 4 inches or more than 10 inches, being careful to avoid
having soil containing no grass roots. The disked sod may be windrowed or
otherwise handled in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. The material shall be
rejected if not kept in a moist condition.
Prior to placing mulch sod, the cut slopes shall be scarified by plowing furrows 4 inches to 6 inches
deep along horizontal slope lines at 2-foot vertical intervals. Excavated material from the furrows
shall not protrude more than 3 inches above the original surface of the cut. Fertilizer shall be
distributed uniformly over the area. The sod shall then be dumped upon the prepared area and
spread uniformly to the required approximate thickness shown on the plans.
Any section not true to lines and cross section shall be remedied by the addition of sod material.
After the sod material has been spread and shaped, it shall be compacted with a corrugated roller of
the "Cultipacker" type. All rolling of slope areas shall be on the contour. The area to be mulch
sodded shall be indicated on the drawings or as directed by the Engineer in the field.
4. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
Unless otherwise specified on the Bid Form, spot sodding and block sodding shall be measured by
the square yard taken in a horizontal plane.
Payment shall include, but not be limited to, excavation, transporting, storing and placing of sod,
and application of fertilizer and water.

The Engineer may permit small quantities of sacked cement to be stored in the open for a maximum
of 48 hours on a raised platform and under waterproof covering.
4. STORAGE OF AGGREGATE
The method of handling and storing concrete aggregate shall prevent contamination with foreign
materials. If the aggregates are stored on the ground, the sites for the stockpiles shall be clear of all
vegetation and level. The bottom layer of aggregate shall not be disturbed or used without
recleaning.

When conditions require the use of two or more sizes of aggregates, they shall be separated to
prevent intermixing. Where space is limited, stockpiles shall be separated by physical barriers.
Methods of handling aggregates during stockpiling and subsequent use shall be such that
segregation will be minimized.
Unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer, all aggregate shall be stockpiled at least 24 hours to
reduce the free moisture content.
5. MEASUREMENT OF MATERIALS
The measurement of the materials, except water, used in batches of concrete, shall be by weight.
The fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and mineral filler shall be weighed separately. Where bulk
cement is used, it shall be weighed separately, but batch weighing of sacked cement will not be
required. Where sacked cement is used, the quantities of material per batch shall be based upon
using full bags of cement. Batches involving the use of fractional bags will not be permitted.
Allowance shall be made for the water content in the aggregates.
Bags of cement varying more than 3 percent from the specified weight of 94 pounds may be
rejected, and when the average weight per bag in any shipment, as determined by weighing 50 bags
taken at random, is less than the net weight specified, the entire shipment may be rejected. If the
shipment is accepted, the Engineer will adjust the concrete mix to a net weight per bag fixed by an
average of all individual weights which are less than the average weight determined from the total
number weighed.
6. CLASSIFICATION AND MIX DESIGN
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to furnish the mix design, using a coarse aggregate
factor acceptable to the Engineer, for the class(es) of concrete specified. The mix shall be designed
by a qualified concrete technician to conform with the requirements contained herein and in
accordance with the THD Bulletin C-11. The Contractor shall perform, at his own expense, the
work required to substantiate the design, except the testing of strength specimens, which will be
done by the Engineer. Complete concrete design data shall be submitted to the Engineer for
approval.
It shall also be the responsibility of the Contractor to determine and measure the batch quantity of
each ingredient, including all water, so that the mix conforms to these specifications and any other
requirements shown on the plans.
Trial batches will be made and tested using all of the proposed ingredients prior to placing the
concrete, and when the aggregate and/or brand of cement or admixture is changed. Trial batches
shall be made in the mixer to be used on the job. When transit mix concrete is to be used, the trial
designs will be made in a transit mixer representative of the mixers to be used. Batch size shall not
be less than 50 percent of the rated mixing capacity of the truck.
Mix designs from previous or concurrent jobs may be used without trial batches if it is shown that

DocuSign Envelope ID: C24B9717-4D9C-4818-B1A6-904BF8D1B7D8DocuSign Envelope ID: 7CA3FB1C-D56E-478D-AFC7-3EB298FB74AA
no substantial change in any of the proposed ingredients has been made.
The coarse aggregate factor shall not be more than 0.82, except that when the voids in the coarse
aggregate exceed 48 percent of the total dry loose volume, the coarse aggregate factor shall not
exceed 0.85. The coarse aggregate factor shall not be less than 0.70 for Grades 1, 2 and 3
aggregates.
If the strength required for the class of concrete being produced is not secured with the cement
specified in Table 4, the Contractor may use an approved water-reducing or retarding admixture, or
he shall furnish aggregates with different characteristics which will produce the required results.
Additional cement may be required or permitted as a temporary measure until the redesign is
checked.
Water-reducing or retarding agents may be used with all classes of concrete at the option of the
Contractor.
When water-reducing or retarding agents are used at the option of the Contractor, reduced dosage of
the admixture will be permitted.
Entrained air will be required in accordance with Table 4. The concrete shall be designed to entrain
5 percent air when Grade 2 coarse aggregate is used and 6 percent when Grade 3 coarse aggregate is
used. Concrete as placed in the structure shall contain the proper amount as required above with a
tolerance of plus or minus 1.5 percentage points. Occasional variations beyond this tolerance will
not be cause for rejection. When the quantity of entrained air is found to be above 7 percent with
Grade 2 coarse aggregate or above 8 percent for Grade 3 coarse aggregate, additional test beams or
cylinders will be made. If these beams or cylinders pass the minimum flexural or compressive
requirements, the concrete will not be rejected because of the variation in air content.
7. CONSISTENCY
In cases where the consistency requirements cannot be satisfied without exceeding the maximum
allowable amount of water, the Contractor may use, or the Engineer may require, an approved
water-reducing or retarding agent, or the Contractor shall furnish additional aggregates or
aggregates with different characteristics, which will produce the required results. Additional
cement may be required or permitted as a temporary measure until aggregates are changed and
designs checked with the different aggregates or admixture.
The consistency of the concrete as placed should allow the completion of all finishing operations
without the addition of water to the surface. When field conditions are such that additional
moisture is needed for the final concrete surface finishing operation, the required water shall be
applied to the surface by fog spray only, and shall be held to a minimum. The concrete shall be
workable, cohesive, possess satisfactory finishing qualities, and of the stiffest consistency that can
be placed and vibrated into a homogenous mass. Excessive bleeding shall be avoided. Slump
requirements will be as specified in Table 3.

8. QUALITY OF CONCRETE
General
The concrete shall be uniform and workable. The cement content, maximum allowable water-
cement ratio, the desired and maximum slump and the strength requirements of the various classes
of concrete shall conform to the requirements of Table 3 and Table 4 and as required herein.
During the process of the work, the Engineer or his designated representative will cast test cylinders
or beams as a check on the compressive or flexural strength of the concrete actually placed. Test
cylinders must be picked up by the testing lab within 24 hours.
A test shall be defined as the average of the breaking strength of two cylinders or two beams, as the
case may be. Specimens will be tested in accordance with TxDOT Test Methods Tex-418-A or
Tex-420-A.
Test beams or cylinders will be required as specified in the contract documents. For small
placements on structures such as manholes, inlets, culverts, wingwalls, etc., the Engineer may vary
the number of tests to a minimum of one for each 25 cubic yards placed over a several day period.
All test specimens, beams or cylinders, representing tests for removal of forms and/or falsework
shall be cured using the same methods, and under the same conditions as the concrete represented.
"Design Strength" beams and cylinders shall be cured in accordance with THD Bulletin C-11.
The Contractor shall provide and maintain curing facilities as described in THD Bulletin C-11 for
the purpose of curing test specimens. Provision shall be made to maintain the water in the curing
tank at temperatures between 70°F and 90°F.
When control of concrete quality is by twenty-eight-day compressive tests, job control will be by
seven-day compressive tests which are shown to provide the required twenty-eight-day strength,
based on results from trial batches. If the required seven-day strength is not secured with the

place within the limits outlined in City Standard Specification Section 038000 "Concrete
Structures", Article "Placing Concrete-General", shall not be used. Retamping of concrete will not
be permitted.
In threatening weather, which may result in conditions that will adversely affect the quality of the
concrete to be placed, the Engineer may order postponement of the work. Where work has been
started and changes in weather conditions require protective measures, the Contractor shall furnish
adequate shelter to protect the concrete against damage from rainfall, or from freezing temperatures.
If necessary to continue operations during rainfall, the Contractor shall also provide protective
coverings for the material stockpiles. Aggregate stockpiles need be covered only to the extent
necessary to control the moisture conditions in the aggregates to adequately control the consistency
of the concrete.

the bottom of the forms is not readily attainable.
Prior to placing concrete, the facing of all forms shall be treated with oil or other bond breaking
coating of such composition that it will not discolor or otherwise injuriously affect the concrete
surface. Care shall be exercised to prevent coating of the reinforcing steel.
(3) Metal Forms. The foregoing requirements for timber forms regarding design, mortar-tightness,
filleted corners, beveled projections, bracing, alignment, removal, reuse and wetting shall also apply
to metal forms, except that these will not require lining, unless specifically noted on the plans.
The thickness of form metal shall be as required to maintain the true shape without warping or
bulging. All bolt and rivet heads on the facing sides shall be countersunk. Clamps, pins or other
connecting devices shall be designed to hold the forms rigidly together and to allow removal without
injury to the concrete. Metal forms which do not present a smooth surface or line up properly shall
not be used. Metal shall be kept free from rust, grease or other foreign materials.
6. PLACING REINFORCEMENT

The consistency of the concrete as placed should allow the completion of all finishing operations
without the addition of water to the surface. When conditions are such that additional moisture is
needed for finishing, the required water shall be applied to the surface by fog spray only, and shall be
held to a minimum amount. Fog spray for this purpose may be applied with hand operated fogging
equipment.
The maximum time interval between the addition of cement to the batch and the placing of concrete
in the forms shall not exceed the following:
Air or Concrete
Temperature
Maximum Time
Non-Agitated Concrete:
Above 80 degrees F 15 minutes Up to 80 degrees F 30 minutes Agitated Concrete: Above 90 degrees F 45 minutes 75 degrees F to 90 degrees F 60 minutes 35 degrees F to 74 degrees F 90 minutes
The use of an approved retarding agent in the concrete will permit the extension of each of the above
temperature-time maximums by 30 minutes for direct traffic culverts, and one hour for all other
concrete except that the maximum time shall not exceed 30 minutes for non-agitated concrete.
Before starting work, the Contractor shall inform the Engineer fully of the construction methods he
proposes to use, the adequacy of which shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer.
The Contractor shall give the Engineer sufficient advance notice before placing concrete in any unit
of the structure to permit the inspection of forms, reinforcing steel placement, and other preparations.
Concrete shall not be placed in any unit prior to the completion of formwork and placement of
reinforcement therein.
Concrete mixing, placing and finishing shall be done during daylight hours, unless adequate
provisions are made to light the entire site of all operations.
Concrete placement will not be permitted when impending weather conditions will impair the quality
of the finished work. If rainfall should occur after placing operations are started, the Contractor shall
provide ample covering to protect the work. In case of drop in temperature, the provisions set forth
in Article "Placing Concrete in Cold Weather" of this specification shall be applied.
The placing of concrete shall be regulated so the pressures caused by the plastic concrete shall not
exceed the loads used in form design.

The method of handling, placing and consolidation of concrete shall minimize segregation and
displacement of the reinforcement, and produce a uniformly dense and compact mass. Concrete
shall not have a free fall of more than 5 feet, except in the case of thin walls such as in culverts. Any
hardened concrete spatter ahead of the plastic concrete shall be removed.
The method and equipment used to transport concrete to the forms shall be capable of maintaining
the rate of placement approved by the Engineer. Concrete may be transported by buckets, chutes,
buggies, belt conveyors, pumps or other acceptable methods.
When belt conveyors or pumps are used, sampling for testing will be done at the discharge end.
Concrete transported by conveyors shall be protected from sun and wind, if necessary, to prevent loss
of slump and workability. Pipes through which concrete is pumped shall be shaded and/or wrapped
with wet burlap, if necessary, to prevent loss of slump and workability. Concrete shall not be
transported through aluminum pipes, tubes or other aluminum equipment.
Chutes, troughs, conveyors or pipes shall be arranged and used so that the concrete ingredients will
not be separated. When steep slopes are necessary, the chutes shall be equipped with baffle boards
or made in short lengths that reverse the direction of movement, or the chute ends shall terminate in
vertical downspouts. Open troughs and chutes shall extend, if necessary, down inside the forms or
through holes left in them. All transporting equipment shall be kept clean and free from hardened
concrete coatings. Water used for cleaning shall be discharged clear of the concrete.
Each part of the forms shall be filled by depositing concrete as near its final position as possible.
The coarse aggregate shall be worked back from the face and the concrete forced under and around
the reinforcement bars without displacing them. Depositing large quantities at one point and running
or working it along the forms will not be allowed.
Concrete shall be deposited in the forms in layers of suitable depth but not more than 36 inches in
thickness, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.
The sequence of successive layers or adjacent portions of concrete shall be such that they can be
vibrated into a homogenous mass with the previously placed concrete without a cold joint. Not more
than one hour shall elapse between adjacent or successive placements of concrete. Unauthorized
construction joints shall be avoided by placing all concrete between the authorized joints in one
continuous operation.
An approved retarding agent shall be used to control stress cracks and/or unauthorized cold joints in
mass placements where differential settlement and/or setting time may induce stress cracking.
Openings in forms shall be provided, if needed, for the removal of laitance of foreign matter of any
kind.
All forms shall be wetted thoroughly before the concrete is placed therein.
All concrete shall be well consolidated and the mortar flushed to the form surfaces by continuous
working with immersion type vibrators. Vibrators which operate by attachment to forms or
reinforcement will not be permitted, except on steel forms. At least one stand-by vibrator shall be

provided for emergency use in addition to those required for placement.
The concrete shall be vibrated immediately after deposit. Prior to the beginning of work, a
systematic spacing of the points of vibration shall be established to insure complete consolidation
and thorough working of the concrete around the reinforcement, embedded fixtures, and into the
corners and angles of the forms. Immersion type vibrators shall be inserted vertically, at points 18 to
30 inches apart, and slowly withdrawn. The vibrator may be inserted in a sloping or horizontal
position in shallow slabs. The entire depth of each lift shall be vibrated, allowing the vibrator to
penetrate several inches into the preceding lift. Concrete along construction joints shall be
thoroughly consolidated by operating the vibrator along and close to but not against the joint surface.
The vibration shall continue until thorough consolidation, and complete embedment of reinforcement
and fixtures is produced, but not long enough to cause segregation. Vibration may be supplemented
by hand spading or rodding, if necessary, to insure the flushing of mortar to the surface of all forms.
Slab concrete shall be mixed in a plant located off the structure. Carting or wheeling concrete
batches over completed slabs will not be permitted until they have aged at least four (4) full curing
days. If carts are used, timber planking will be required for the remainder of the curing period. Carts
shall be equipped with pneumatic tires. Curing operations shall not be interrupted for the purpose of
wheeling concrete over finished slabs.
After concrete has attained its initial set, at least one (1) curing day shall elapse before placing strain
on projecting reinforcement to prevent damage to the concrete.
The storing of reinforcing or structural steel on completed roadway slabs generally shall be avoided
and, when permitted, shall be limited to quantities and distribution that will not induce excessive
stresses.
8. PLACING CONCRETE IN COLD WEATHER
(1) Cast-in-Place Concrete. Concrete may be placed when the atmospheric temperature is not less
than 35 degrees F. Concrete shall not be placed in contact with any material coated with frost or
having a temperature less than 32 degrees F.
Aggregates shall be free from ice, frost and frozen lumps. When required, in order to produce the
minimum specified concrete temperature, the aggregate and/or the water shall be heated uniformly,
in accordance with the following:
The water temperature shall not exceed 180 degrees F, and/or the aggregate temperature shall
not exceed 150 degrees F. The heating apparatus shall heat the mass of aggregate uniformly.
The temperature of the mixture of aggregates and water shall be between 50 degrees F and 85
degrees F before introduction of the cement.
All concrete shall be effectively protected as follows:
(a) The temperature of slab concrete of all unformed surfaces shall be maintained
at 50 degrees F or above for a period of 72 hours from time of placement and above
40 degrees F for an additional 72 hours.

(b) The temperature at the surface of all concrete in piers, culverts walls, retaining
walls, parapets, wingwalls, bottoms of slabs, and other similar formed concrete shall
be maintained at 40 degrees F or above for a period of 72 hours from time of
placement.
(c) The temperature of all concrete, including the bottom slabs of culverts placed
on or in the ground, shall be maintained above 32 degrees F for a period of 72 hours
from time of placement.
Protection shall consist of providing additional covering, insulated forms or other means, and if
necessary, supplementing such covering with artificial heating. Curing as specified under Article
"Curing Concrete" of this specification shall be provided during this period until all requirements for
curing have been satisfied.
When impending weather conditions indicate the possibility of the need for such temperature
protection, all necessary heating and covering material shall be on hand ready for use before
permission is granted to begin placement.
Sufficient extra test specimens will be made and cured with the placement to ascertain the condition
of the concrete as placed, prior to form removal and acceptance.
(2) Precast Concrete. A fabricating plant for precast products which has adequate protection from
cold weather in the form of permanent or portable framework and covering, which protects the
concrete when placed in the forms, and is equipped with approved steam curing facilities, may place
concrete under any low temperature conditions provided:
(a) The framework and covering are placed and heat is provided for the concrete and the
forms within one hour after the concrete is placed. This shall not be construed to be one hour
after the last concrete is placed, but that no concrete shall remain unprotected longer than one
hour.
(b) Steam heat shall keep the air surrounding the concrete between 50 degrees F and 85
degrees F for a minimum of three hours prior to beginning the temperature rise which is
required for steam curing.
(c) For fabricating plants without the above facilities and for job site precast products, the
requirements of the Article "Curing Concrete" of this specification shall apply.
The Contractor is responsible for the protection of concrete placed under any and all weather
conditions. Permission given by the Engineer for placing concrete during freezing weather will in no
way relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for producing concrete equal in quality to that placed
under normal conditions. Should concrete placed under such conditions prove unsatisfactory, it shall
be removed and replaced at no additional cost.

9. PLACING CONCRETE IN WATER
Concrete shall be deposited in water only when specified on the plans or with written permission by
the Engineer. The forms or cofferdams shall be sufficiently tight to prevent any water current
passing through the space in which the concrete is being deposited. Pumping will not be permitted
during the concrete placing, nor until it has set for at least 36 hours.
The concrete shall be placed with a tremie, closed bottom-dump bucket, or other approved method,
and shall not be permitted to fall freely through the water nor shall it be disturbed after it has been
placed. The concrete surface shall be kept approximately level during placement.
The tremie shall consist of a water-tight tube 14 inches or less in diameter. It shall be constructed so
that the bottom can be sealed and opened after it is in place and fully charged with concrete. It shall
be supported so that it can be easily moved horizontally to cover all the work area and vertically to
control the concrete flow.
Bottom-dump buckets used for underwater placing shall have a capacity of not less than one-half
cubic yard. It shall be lowered gradually and carefully until it rests upon the concrete already placed
and raised very slowly during the upward travel; the intent being to maintain still water at the point
of discharge and to avoid agitating the mixture.
The placing operations shall be continuous until the work is complete.
10. PLACING CONCRETE IN BOX CULVERTS
In general, construction joints will be permitted only where shown on the plans.
Where the top slab and walls are placed monolithically in culverts more than 4 feet in clear height,
an interval of not less than one (1) nor more than two (2) hours shall elapse before placing the top
slab to allow for shrinkage in the wall concrete.
The base slab shall be finished accurately at the proper time to provide a smooth uniform surface.
Top slabs which carry direct traffic shall be finished as specified for roadway slabs in Article "Finish
of Roadway Slabs". Top slabs of fill type culverts shall be given a reasonably smooth float finish.
11. PLACING CONCRETE IN FOUNDATIONS AND SUBSTRUCTURE
Concrete shall not be placed in footings until the depth and character of the foundation has been
inspected by the Engineer and permission has been given to proceed.
Placing of concrete footings upon seal concrete courses will be permitted after the caissons or
cofferdams are free from water and the seal concrete course cleaned. Any necessary pumping or
bailing during the concreting operation shall be done from a suitable sump located outside the forms.
All temporary wales or braces inside cofferdams or caissons shall be constructed or adjusted as the
work proceeds to prevent unauthorized construction joints in footings or shafts.

When footings can be placed in a dry excavation without the use of cofferdams or caissons, forms
may be omitted, if desired by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer, and the entire excavation
filled with concrete to the elevation of the top of footing; in which case, measurement for payment
will be based on the footing dimensions shown on the plans.
12. TREATMENT AND FINISHING OF HORIZONTAL SURFACES EXCEPT ROADWAY
SLABS
All unformed upper surfaces shall be struck off to grade and finished. The use of mortar topping for
surfaces under this classification will not be permitted.
After the concrete has been struck off, the surface shall be floated with a suitable float. Sidewalks
shall be given a wood float or broom finish, or may be striped with a brush, as specified by the
Engineer. Other surfaces shall be wood float finished and striped with a fine brush leaving a fine-
grained texture.
13. FINISH OF ROADWAY SLABS
As soon as the concrete has been placed and vibrated in a section of sufficient width to permit
working, the surface shall be approximately leveled, struck off and screeded, carrying a slight excess
of concrete ahead of the screed to insure filling of all low spots. The screed shall be designed rigid
enough to hold true to shape and shall have sufficient adjustments to provide for the required
camber. A vibrating screed may be used if heavy enough to prevent undue distortion. The screeds
shall be provided with a metal edge.
Longitudinal screeds shall be moved across the concrete with a saw-like motion while their ends rest
on headers or templates set true to the roadway grade or on the adjacent finished slab.
The surface of the concrete shall be screeded a sufficient number of times and at such intervals to
produce a uniform surface, true to grade and free of voids.
If necessary, the screeded surface shall be worked to smooth finish with a long handled wood or
metal float of the proper size, or hand floated from bridges over the slab.
When required by the Engineer, the Contractor shall perform sufficient checks with a long handled
10-foot straightedge on the plastic concrete to insure that the final surface will be within the
tolerances specified below. The check shall be made with the straightedge parallel to the centerline.
Each pass thereof shall lap half of the preceding pass. All high spots shall be removed and all
depressions over one-sixteenth inch (1/16”) in depth shall be filled with fresh concrete and floated.
The checking and floating shall be continued until the surface is true to grade and free of
depressions, high spots, voids or rough spots.
Rail support holes shall be filled with concrete and finished to match the top of the slab.
Surface Texturing.
Perform surface texturing using a either carpet drag or metal tining as indicated on the drawings.
Complete final texturing before the concrete has attained its initial set. Draw the carpet drag

longitudinally along the pavement surface with the carpet contact surface area adjusted to provide a
satisfactory coarsely textured surface. A metal-tine texture finish is required using a tining machine
unless otherwise shown on the plans. Provide the metal-tine finish immediately after the concrete
surface has set enough for consistent tining. Operate the metal-tine device to obtain grooves spaced
at 1 in., approximately 3/16 in. deep, with a minimum depth of 1/8 in., and approximately 1/12 in.
wide. Do not overlap a previously tined area. Use manual methods for achieving similar results on
ramps and other irregular sections of pavements. Repair damage to the edge of the slab and joints
immediately after texturing. Do not tine pavement that will be overlaid.
Upon completion of the floating and/or straight edging and before the disappearance of the moisture
sheen, the surface shall be given a broom or burlap drag finish. The grooves of these finishes shall
be parallel to the structure centerline. It is the intent that the average texture depth resulting from the
number of tests directed by the Engineer be not less than 0.035 inch with a minimum texture depth of
0.030 inch for any one test when tested in accordance with TxDOT Test Method Tex-436-A. Should
the texture depth fall below that intended, the finishing procedures shall be revised to produce the
desired texture.
After the concrete has attained its final set, the roadway surface shall be tested with a standard 10-
foot straightedge. The straightedge shall be placed parallel to the centerline of roadway to bridge any
depressions and touch high spots. Ordinates of irregularities measured from the face of the
straightedge to the surface of the slab shall not exceed one-eighth of an inch (1/8”), making proper
allowances for camber, vertical curvature and surface texture. Occasional variations, not exceeding
three-sixteenth of an inch (3/16”) will be acceptable, if in the opinion of the Engineer it will not
affect the riding qualities.
When directed by the Engineer, irregularities exceeding the above requirements shall be corrected.
In all roadway slab finishing operations, camber for specified vertical curvature and transverse slopes
shall be provided.
14. CURING CONCRETE
The Contractor shall inform the Engineer fully of the methods and procedures proposed for curing;
shall provide the proper equipment and material in adequate amounts; and shall have the proposed
methods, equipment and material approved prior to placing concrete.
Inadequate curing and/or facilities, therefore, shall be cause for the Engineer to stop all construction
on the job until remedial action is taken. All concrete shall be cured for a period of four (4) curing
days except as noted herein.

When the air temperature is expected to drop below 35 degrees F, the water curing mats shall
be covered with polyethylene sheeting, burlap-polyethylene blankets or other material to
provide the protection required by Article "Placing Concrete in Cold Weather" of these
specifications.
A curing day is defined as a calendar day when the temperature, taken in the shade away from
artificial heat, is above 50 degrees F for at least 19 hours (colder days if satisfactory provisions are
made to maintain the temperature of all surfaces of the concrete above 40 degrees F for the entire 24
hours). The required curing period shall begin when all concrete therein has attained its initial set.
The following methods are permitted for curing concrete subject to the restrictions of Table 1 and the
following requirements for each method of curing.
(1) Form Curing. When forms are left in contact with the concrete, other curing methods will not
be required except for cold weather protection.
(2) Water Curing. All exposed surfaces of the concrete shall be kept wet continuously for the
required curing time. The water used for curing shall meet the requirements for concrete mixing
water as specified in the specification Section 030020 "Portland Cement Concrete". Seawater will
not be permitted. Water which stains or leaves an unsightly residue shall not be used.
(a) Wet Mat. Cotton mats shall be used for this curing method. They shall be placed as
soon as possible after the surface has sufficiently hardened to prevent damage to the concrete.
(See Article, "Placing Concrete" of this specification.) Damp burlap blankets made from
nine-ounce stock may be placed on the damp concrete surface for temporary protection prior
to the application of the cotton mats which may be placed dry and wetted down after
placement.
The mats shall be weighted down adequately to provide continuous contact with all concrete
surfaces where possible. The surfaces of the concrete shall be kept wet for the required
curing time. Surfaces which cannot be cured by contact shall be enclosed with mats and
anchored positively to the forms or to the ground so that outside air cannot enter the
enclosure. Sufficient moisture shall be provided inside the enclosure to keep all surfaces of
the concrete wet.
(b) Water Spray. This curing method shall consist of overlapping sprays or sprinklers that
keep all unformed surfaces continuously wet.
(c) Ponding. This curing method requires the covering of the surfaces with a minimum of
two inches (2”) of clean granular material, kept wet at all times, or a minimum of one-inch

(1”) depth of water. Satisfactory provisions shall be made to provide a dam to retain the
water or saturated granular material.
(3) Membrane Curing. This consists of curing concrete pavement, concrete pavement (base), curbs,
gutters, retards, sidewalks, driveways, medians, islands, concrete riprap, cement-stabilized riprap,
concrete structures and other concrete as indicated on the plans by impervious membrane method.
Unless otherwise provided herein or shown on the plans, either Type 1-D or Type 2 membrane
curing compound may be used where permitted except that Type 1-D (Resin Base Only) will be
required for slab concrete in bridge decks and top slabs of direct traffic culverts.

Membrane curing shall not be applied to dry surfaces, but shall be applied just after free moisture has
disappeared. Formed surfaces and surfaces which have been given a first rub shall be dampened and
shall be moist at the time of application of the membrane.
When membrane is used for complete curing, the film shall remain unbroken for the minimum
curing period specified. Membrane which is damaged shall be corrected immediately by
reapplication of membrane. Unless otherwise noted herein or on the plans, the choice of membrane
type shall be at the option of the Contractor. Only one type of curing compound will be permitted on
any one structure.
The membrane curing compound shall be applied after the surface finishing has been completed, and
immediately after the free surface moisture has disappeared. The surface shall be sealed with a
single uniform coating of curing compound applied at the rate of coverage recommended by the
manufacturer and directed by the Engineer, but not less than 1 gallon per 180 square feet of area.
The Contractor shall provide satisfactory means and facilities to properly control and check the rate
of application of the compound.
The compound shall be thoroughly agitated during its use and shall be applied by means of approved
mechanical power pressure sprayers. The sprayers used to apply the membrane to concrete pavement
or concrete pavement (base) shall travel at uniform speed along the forms and be mechanically
driven. The equipment shall be of such design that it will insure uniform and even application of the
membrane material. The sprayers shall be equipped with satisfactory atomizing nozzles. Only on
small miscellaneous items will the Contractor be permitted to use hand-powered spray equipment.
For all spraying equipment, the Contractor shall provide facilities to prevent the loss of the
compound between the nozzle and the concrete surface during the spraying operations.
The compounds shall not be applied to a dry surface. If the surface of the concrete has become dry,
it shall be moistened prior to application of membrane by fogging or mist application. Sprinkling or
coarse spraying will not be allowed.
At locations where the coating shows discontinuities, pinholes or other defects, or if rain falls on the
newly-coated surface before the film has dried sufficiently to resist damage, an additional coat of the
compound shall be applied immediately at the same rate of coverage specified herein.
To insure proper coverage, the Engineer shall inspect all treated areas after application of the
compound for the period of time designated in the governing specification for curing, either for
membrane curing or for other methods. Should the foregoing indicate that any area during the curing
period is not protected, an additional coat or coats of the compound shall be applied immediately,
and the rate of application of the membrane compound shall be increased until all areas are
uniformly covered.
When temperatures are such as to warrant protection against freezing, curing by this method shall be
supplemented with an approved insulating material capable of protecting the concrete for the
specified curing period.
If at any time there is reason to believe that this method of curing is unsatisfactory or is detrimental

to the work, the Contractor, when notified, shall immediately cease the use of this method and shall
change to curing by one of the other methods specified under this contract.
15. REMOVAL OF FORMS
Except as herein provided, forms for vertical surfaces may be removed when the concrete has aged
not less than one day (24 hours) when Type I and Type II cement is used, and not less than one-half
day (12 hours) when Type III cement is used, provided it can be done without damage to the
concrete.
Forms for inside curb faces may be removed in approximately three hours provided it can be done
without damage to the curb.
16. FINISHING EXPOSED SURFACES
Concrete shall be finished as required in the specification Section for the respective item or as
otherwise specified on the plans.
An ordinary surface finish shall be applied to all concrete surfaces either as a final finish or
preparatory to a higher finish.
Ordinary Surface Finish shall be as follows:
After form removal, all porous or honey-combed areas and spalled areas shall be corrected by
chipping away all loose or broken material to sound concrete.
Feather edges shall be eliminated by cutting a face perpendicular to the surface. Shallow
cavities shall be repaired using adhesive grout or epoxy grout. If judged repairable by the
Engineer, large defective areas shall be corrected using concrete or other material approved
by the Engineer.
Holes and spalls caused by removal of metal ties, etc., shall be cleaned and filled with
adhesive grout or epoxy grout. Exposed parts of metal chairs on surfaces to be finished by
rubbing, shall be chipped out to a depth of one-half inch (1/2") and the surface repaired.
All fins, runs, drips or mortar shall be removed from surfaces which remain exposed. Form
marks and chamfer edges shall be smoothed by grinding and/or dry rubbing.
Grease, oil, dirt, curing compound, etc., shall be removed from surfaces requiring a higher
grade of finish. Discolorations resulting from spillage or splashing of asphalt, paint or other
similar material shall be removed.
Repairs shall be dense, well bonded and properly cured, and when made on surfaces which
remain exposed and do not require a higher finish, shall be finished to blend with the
surrounding concrete.
