Texas law requires that most contractors, subcontractors, and
others providing work or services for a City building or construction
project must be covered by worker's compensation insurance, authorized
self-insurance, or an approved worker's compensation coverage
agreement..
Even if Texas law does not require a contractor, subcontractor or
others performing project services (including deliveries to the job
site) to provide 1 of the 3 forms of worker's compensation coverage,
the City will require such coverage for all individuals providing work
or services on this Project at any .time, including during the
maintenance guaranty period. Motor carriers which are required to
register with the Texas Department of Transportation under Texas Civil
Statutes Article 6675c, and which provide accidental insurance
coverage under Texas Civil Statutes Article 6675c, Section 9(j) need
not provide 1 of the 3 forms of worker's compensation coverage.
The Contractor agrees to comply with all applicable provisions of
Texas Administrative Code Title 28, Section 110.110, a copy of which
is attached and deemed incorporated into the project contract. Please
note that under section 110.110:
1. Certain language must be included in the Contractor's
Contract with the City and the Contractor's contracts with
subcontractors and others providing services for the
Project;
2. The Contractor is required to submit to the City
certificates of coverage for its employees and for all
subcontractors and others providing services on the Project.
The Contractor is required to obtain and submit updated
certificates showing extension of coverage during the
Project; and
3. The Contractor is required to post the required notice at
the job site.
By signing this Contract, the Contractor certifies that it will
timely comply with this Notice to Contractors "B" requirements.

above and below ground. The Drawings show as much information as can be reasonably
obtained from existing as-built drawings, base maps, utility records, etc. and from
as much field work as normally deemed necessary for the construction o£ this type of
project with regard to the location and nature of underground utilities, etc.
However, the accuracy and completeness o£ such information is sot guaranteed. It is
the Contractor's sole and complete responsibility to locate such underground
features sufficiently in advance of his operations to preclude damaging the existing
facilities. If the Contractor encounters utility services along the line of this
work, it is his responsibility to maintain the services in continuous operation at
his own expense.
In the event of damage to underground utilities, whether shown in the drawings, the
Contractor shall make the necessary repairs to place the utilities back in service

- etc., are to be considered subsidiary to the bid item for "Street Excavation";
therefore, no direct payment will be made to Contractor.
A-16 Disposal/Salvage o£ Materials
-- Excess excavated material, broken asphalt, concrete, broken culverts and other
unwanted material becomes the property of the Contractor and must be removed from
the site by the Contractor. The cost of all hauling is considered subsidiary;

Page 6 of 22
the performance of contracts awarded by the City of Corpus Christi in support
of Equal Employment Opportunity goals and objectives of the Affirmative Action
Policy Statement of the City dated October, 1989, and any amendments thereto.
In accordance with such policy, the City has established goals, as stated
herein, both for minority and female participation by trade and for Minority
Business Enterprise.
Definitions
a. Prime Contractor: Any person, firm, partnership, corporation,
association or joint venture as herein provided which has been awarded a
City contract.
b. Subcontractor: Any named person, firm, partnership, corporation,
association, or joint venture as herein identified as providing work,
labor, services, supplies, equipment, materials or any combination of the
foregoing under contract with a prime contractor on a City contract.
Minority Business Enterprise: A business enterprise that is owned and
controlled by one or more minority person(s). Minority persons include
Blacks, Mexican-Americans and other persons of Hispanic origin, American
Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Asians or Pacific Islanders. For the
purposes of this section, women are also considered as minorities.
Minority person(s) must collectively own, operate and/or actively manage,
and share in payments from such an enterprise in the manner hereinafter
set forth:
1. Owned
(a) For a sole proprietorship to be deemed a minority business
enterprise, it must be owned by a minority person.
(b) For an enterprise doing business as a partnership, at least
51.08 of the assets or interest in the partnership property
must be owned by one or more minority person(s).
(c) For an enterprise doing business as a corporation, at least
51.08 of the assets or interest in the corporate shares must
be owned by one or more minority person(s).
Controlled
The primary power, direct or indirect, to manage a business
enterprise rests with a minority person(s).
Share in Payments
Minority partners, proprietor or stockholders, of the enterprise,
as the case may be, must be entitled to receive 51.08 or more of
the total profits, bonuses, dividends, interest payments,
commissions, consulting fees, rents, procurement, and subcontract
payments, and any other monetary distribution paid by the business
enterprise.
Minority: See definition under Minority Business Enterprise.
e. Female Owned Business Enterprise: A sole proprietorship that is owned
and controlled by a woman, a partnership at least 51.08 of whose assets

direction. The degree to which a joint venture may satisfy the stated
MBE goal cannot exceed the proportionate interest of the MBE as a member
of the joint venture in the work to be performed by the joint venture.
For example, a joint venture. which is to perform 50.0 of the contract
work itself and in which a minority joint venture partner has a 50.0
interest, shall be deemed equivalent to having minority participation in
25.0$ of the work. Minority members of the joint venture must have
either financial, managerial, or technical skills in the work to be.
performed by the joint venture. .

Miaority Participation Miaority Business Rnterpriee
(Perceat) Participatioa (Perceat)
45 $ 15 $
b. These goals are applicable to all the construction work (regardless of
federal participation) performed in the Contract, including approved
change orders. The hours of minority employment must be substantially
uniform throughout the length of the Contract and in each trade. The
transfer of minority employees from Contractor to Contractor or from
project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor's

A-56 Ameaded "Prosecution and Progress"
Under "General Provisions and Requirements for Municipal Construction Contracts", B-
7 Prosecution and Progress, add the following:
"Funds are appropriated by the City, on a yearly basis. IE funds, for any
reason, are not appropriated in any given year, the City may direct suspension
or termination of the contract. If the Contractor is terminated or suspended
and the City requests remobilization at a later date, the Contractor may
request payment for demobilization/remobilization costs. Such costs shall be
addressed through a change order to the contract.
A-51 Dewateriag
This item is considered subsidiary for all dewatering methods other than "well
pointing" to the appropriate bid items as described in Section A-3 where dewatering
is needed to keep the excavation dry, as approved by the Engineer, and shall include
all costs to provide a dry foundation for the proposed improvements. Storm water
that enters an 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 a manmade berms)
prior to entering the storm water system. Sheet flow and ponding is to allow solids
screening and/or settling prior to entering a storm water conduit or inlet. Storm
water or groundwater shall not be discharged to private property without permission.
It is theintent that Contractor discharge groundwater primarily into the existing
storm water system, provided that the quality of groundwater is equal to or better
than the receiving stream, Petronila Creek/Laguna Madre Bay.
Testing of groundwater quality is to be performed by the City, at the City's cost,
priorto commencing discharge and shall be retested by the City, at~the City's
expense, a minimum of once a week. Contractor shall coordinate with the City, on all
testing. Tests will also be performed as each new area of construction is started.

Another option for disposal of groundwater by Contractor would include pumping to
the nearest sanitary sewer system. If discharging to temporary holding tanks and
trucking to a sanitary sewer or wastewater plant, the costs for these operations
shall be negotiated. Other .groundwater disposal alternatives or solutions may be
approved by the Engineer on a case by case basis. Prior to Pumping groundwater from
the trench to the sanitary sewer system the Contractor shall contact Danielle
Converse at 826-4034 to obtain a "no coat" permit from the Waste Water Dept. City
will pay for any water quality testing or water analysis cost required. The permit
will require an estimate or 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.
