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.
2. 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.
c. 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
51.0% 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
51.0% of the assets or interest in the corporate shares must
be owned by one or more minority person(s).
2. Controlled
The primary power, direct or indirect, to manage a business
enterprise rests with a minority person(s).
3. Share in Payments
Minority partners, proprietor or stockholders, of the enterprise,
as the case may be, must be entitled to receive 51.0% 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.
d. 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 51.0% of whose assets
or partnership interests are owned by one or more women, or a corporation
Section A - SP
(Revised 9/18/00)
Page 11 of 27
at least 51.0% of whose assets or interests in the corporate shares are
owned by one or more women.
f. Joint Venture: A joint venture means an association of two or more
persons, partnerships, corporations, or any combination thereof, founded
to carry on a single business activity which is limited in scope and
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.
3. Goals
a. The goals for participation by minorities and Minority Business
Enterprises expressed in percentage terms for the Contractor's aggregate
work force on all construction work for the Contract award are as
follows:
Minority Participation Minority Business Enterprise
(Percent) Participation (Percent)
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
percentage is prohibited.
4. Compliance
a. Upon completion of the Project, a final breakdown of MBE participation,
substantiated by copies of paid invoices, shall be submitted by the
Contractor to the City Engineer.
b. The Contractor shall make bi- weekly payroll submittals to the City
Engineer. The Contractor is to indicate the percent of minority and
female participation, by trade, which has been utilized on the Project.
Along with the request for final payment on the Project, the Contractor
will indicate, in writing, the overall participation in these areas which
have been achieved. The City Engineer may withhold monthly or final
payments to the Contractor for failure to submit bi- weekly payrolls in a
timely fashion or to submit overall participation information as
required.
A -23 Inspection Required (Revised 7/5/00)
The Contractor shall assure the appropriate building inspections by the Building
Inspection Division at the various intervals of work for which a permit is required

litigation against the City. All bonds must be issued by an approved
Surety Company authorized to do business in the State of Texas. If
performance and payment bonds are in an amount in excess of ten percent
(10 %) of the Surety Company's capital and surplus, the Surety Company
shall provide certification satisfactory to the City Attorney that the
Surety Company has reinsured the portion of the bond amount that exceeds
ten percent (10 %) of the Surety Company's capital and surplus with
reinsurer(s) authorized to do business in the State of Texas. The amount
of the bond reinsured by any reinsurer may not exceed ten percent (10 %)
of the reinsurer(s capital and surplus. For purposes of this section,
the amount of allowed capital and surplus will be verified through the
State Board of Insurance as of the date of the last annual statutory
financial statement of the Surety Company or reinsurer authorized and
admitted to do business in the State of Texas. The Surety shall
designate an agent who is a resident of Nueces County, Texas. Each bond
must be executed by the Contractor and the Surety. For contracts in
excess of $100,000 the bond must be executed by a Surety company that is
certified by the United States Secretary of the Treasury or must obtain
reinsurance for any liability in excess of $100,000 from a reinsurer that

section A - SP
(Revised 9/18/00)
Page 14 of 27

request, signed and dated by the bidder's owner, president or other authorized
party, specifying all current assets and liabilities.
A -29 Contractor's Field Administration Staff
The Contractor shall employ for this Project, as its field administration staff,
superintendents and foremen who are careful and competent and acceptable to the City
Engineer.
The criteria upon which the City Engineer makes this determination may include the
following:
1. The superintendent must have at least five (5) years recent experience in the
day -to -day field management and oversight of projects of a similar size and
complexity to this Project. This experience must include, but is not
necessarily limited to, scheduling of manpower and materials, structural steel
erection, masonry, safety, coordination of subcontractors, and familiarity
with the submittal process, federal and state wage rate requirements, and
contract close -out procedures.
The superintendent shall be present, on the job site, at all times that work is
being performed.
2. Foreman, if utilized, shall have at least five (5) years recent experience in
similar work and be subordinate to the superintendent.

Documentation concerning these requirements will be reviewed by the City Engineer.
The Contractor's field administration staff, and any subsequent substitutions or
replacements thereto, must be approved by the City Engineer in writing prior to such
superintendent or foreman assuming responsibilities on the Project.
Such written approval of field administration staff is a prerequisite to the City
Engineer's obligation to execute a contract for this Project. If such approval is
not obtained, the award may be rescinded. Further, such written approval is also
necessary prior to a change in field administration staff during the term of this
Contract. If the Contractor fails to obtain prior written approval of the City
Engineer concerning any substitutions or replacements in its field administration
staff for this Project during the term of the Contract, such a failure constitutes a
basis to annul the Contract pursuant to section B -7 -13.
A -30 Amended "Consideration of Contract" Requirements
Under "General Provisions and Requirements for Municipal Construction Contracts"
Section B -3 -1 Consideration of Contract add the following text:
within five (5) working days following the public opening and reading of the

along with a description of the work and dollar amount for each firm; and
substantiation, either through appropriate certifications by federal agencies
or signed affidavits from the MBE firms, that such MBE firms meet the
guidelines contained herein. Similar substantiation will be required if the
Contractor is an MBE. if the responses do not clearly show that MBE
participation will meet the requirements above, the bidder must clearly
demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, that a good faith effort
has, in fact, been made to meet said requirements but that meeting such
requirements is not reasonably possible.
6. A list of subcontractors that will be working on the Project. This list may
contain more than one subcontractor for major components of the work if the
Contractor has not completed his evaluation of which subcontractor will perform
the work.
The City Engineer retains the right to approve all subcontractors that will
perform work on the Project. The Contractor shall obtain written approval by
the City Engineer of all of its subcontractors prior to beginning work on the
Project. If the City Engineer does not approve all proposed subcontractors, it
may rescind the Contract award.
In the event that a subcontractor previously listed and approved is sought to
be substituted for or replaced during the term of the Contract, then the City
Engineer retains the right to approve any substitute or replacement
subcontractor prior to its participation in the Project. Such approval will
not be given if the replacement of the subcontractor will result in an increase
in the Contract price. Failure of the Contractor to comply with this provision
constitutes a basis upon which to annul the Contract pursuant to Section B-
7-13;
7. A preliminary progress schedule indicating relationships between the major
components of the work. The final progress schedule must be submitted to the
City Engineer at the pre - construction conference;
8. Documentation required pursuant to the Special Provisions A -28 and A -29

A -61 Dewaterin•
This item is considered subsidiary to the appropriate bid items or shall be measured
by the linear feet of trench as described in Section A -4 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 berm(s) 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
the intent 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, the Cayo Del Oso. Testing of groundwater quality is to be
performed by the City, at the City's cost, prior to 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. Test 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 Mark Shell 857 -1817 to obtain a "no cost" permit from the
Wastewater Dept. City 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 over night, 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.

ARTICLE TS -1 DEFINITIONS
ENGINEER - Whenever the word "ENGINEER" is used in this Contract, it shall
be understood as referring to Urban Engineering Consulting Engineers, 2725
Swantner, Corpus Christi, Texas 78404, (361) 854 -3101, or their authorized
representative.
Design Specification - Whenever the term "Design Specification" is used, it
shall be understood that the performance of the completed work is as
designed by the ENGINEER, and the CONTRACTOR must follow the requirements of
the drawings and specifications; followed the manufacturer's recommendations
(material and equipment); followed industry standard procedures and provided
top quality workmanship.
Performance Specification - Whenever the term "Performance Specification" is
used, it shall be understood that the performance of the completed work is
the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR, provided the OWNER has faithfully
followed all written operational and maintenance instructions supplied by
the CONTRACTOR. (The CONTRACTOR is not relieved of the responsibility for
improper performance of the completed work even if there was improper
operation and /or maintenance by the OWNER but it obviously was not the cause
of improper performance.) In a performance specification, the CONTRACTOR is
responsible for the design of the item furnished and installed by him. It is
intended that the item function properly without excessive operation and
maintenance being required by the OWNER. The item furnished must incorporate
the features specified but still perform as intended. The materials
specified are to set a minimum standard but shall not be considered a
design. If the design furnished by the CONTRACTOR requires higher quality
material in order to perform as intended, it shall be furnished at no
increase in cost to the Contract amount. When minimum dimensions are
specified, they shall not be considered a design. If the design furnished by
the CONTRACTOR requires larger dimensions in order to perform as intended,
it shall be furnished at no increase in cost to the Contract amount.
Work - Whenever the word "Work" is used it shall be understood as referring
to all materials, supplies, machinery, equipment, plant, tools,
superintendence, labor, bonds, insurance, water, light, power, fuel,
transportation, royalty fees and any other facilities necessary to the
proper execution and completion of the project. The Contractor shall
provide and pay for all the aforementioned items.
ARTICLE TS -2 ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
The Contractor shall carefully check these specifications and the Contract
Drawings, and report to the Engineer any errors or omissions discovered,
whereupon full instructions will be furnished promptly by the Engineer. If
errors or omissions are so discovered and reported before the work to which
they pertain is constructed, and if correction of such errors or omissions
Tech. Spec. Prov.
Page 1 of 3
causes an increase in Contractor's cost, Contractor shall be compensated for
such increase in cost as provided elsewhere.
Contractor shall bear the expense of correcting any errors and omissions on
the drawings or specifications which are not discovered or reported by the
Contractor prior to construction and which, in the opinion of the Engineer,
could have been discovered by reasonable diligence on the part of the
Contractor. It is the intent of this Contract that all work must be done
and all material must be furnished in accordance with the generally accepted
practice. Further, it is the intent of the Contract Documents that the
Contractor shall perform all work to complete the project ready for its
intended use.
ARTICLE TS -3 LACK OF INFORMATION
If the Contractor feels that there is insufficient information in order for
him to prepare his bid and /or construct the work, he is required to make a
written request for additional information. The Contractor shall not use
the lack of information as a basis for requesting extra compensation.
ARTICLE TS -4 LAYOUT OF THE WORK
The Contractor shall layout the work from the existing facilities. If, for
whatever reason, it is necessary to deviate from proposed line and grade to
properly execute the work, the Contractor shall obtain approval of the
Engineer prior to deviation. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the
required deviation would necessitate a revision to the Drawings, the
Contractor shall provide supporting measurements as required by the
Engineer.
ARTICLE TS -5 QUALIFICATIONS OF MANUFACTURER'S FIELD SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES
1. General: The technical specifications require that for certain
equipment and other items, the manufacturer shall include in his cost
to the Contractor specified periods of on -site time of a qualified
factory field service engineer to provide certain services. Providing
these services is an extremely important part of seeing that the item
is installed, adjusted and serviced properly. This, in turn, will
help insure that the item furnished will function as intended and have
a useful, trouble -free service life.
2. Prior Approval: As part of the submittal data required, the name and
complete qualifications of the person the manufacturer proposes to
send as his representative must be included. The Engineer will have
the right to reject any person who, in the Engineer's opinion, is not
qualified to perform the required services based on the information
furnished.
3. On -The -Site Rejection: In the event a manufacturer's representative,
while on the job site, demonstrates (in the opinion of the Engineer)
that he /she is not thoroughly qualified to perform the required
services, the Engineer shall have the right to immediately stop these
services. The Contractor is obligated to replace the manufacturer's
representative with a person who is qualified to redo as much of the
completed service designated by the Engineer and complete the
Tech. Spec. Prov.
Page 2 of 3
remaining services. This shall be done at no increase in the Contract
amount (no cost to the City).
4. Video Tapes: The City reserves the right to video tape any and all
services performed by manufacturer's field service representative(s).
The Contractor shall give the Engineer seven days advance notice of
when services will be performed by the manufacturer's representative.
Should the Contractor fail to provide the required advance notice, the
Engineer shall have the right to reschedule services to accommodate
the City.
ARTICLE TS -6 TENTATIVE APPROVAL AND ALTERNATE DESIGNS
1. Alternate Design Concept:
a. General: If a Contractor desires to base his bid on a concept
different from that shown in the Contract Documents, it shall be
said Contractor's responsibility to submit to the Engineer, 14
days prior to the date of bid opening, complete details of said
concept including required modifications, if any, to existing or
proposed structures. The final decision to accept or reject the
alternate design concept shall rest solely with the Engineer
acting on behalf of the City, with said acceptance or rejection
being in writing from the Engineer to the prospective bidder no
later than 48 hours before bid opening time. Time is of the
essence, and failure of the bidder using a different design
concept, from that shown on the drawings or described in these
specifications, to submit to the Engineer complete details 14 days
prior to bid opening will cause said concept to be excluded from
consideration. Alternate Designs not obtaining approval prior to
bidding shall not be used in the construction of this project.
b. Equipment: If the approved alternate design involves equipment,
the Contractor is not relieved of any responsibility regarding
performance of the equipment after installation. Likewise, no
extras will be paid the Contractor for any changes found necessary
to adapt the alternate equipment, such as modifications to the
drawings, structural or foundation changes, additional piping and
valves, changes in pipe sizes, electrical alterations, or any
other modifications.
