both 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 of this type of project with regard to the location and
nature of underground utilities, etc. However, the accuracy and completeness
of such information is not 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 or not, the Contractor shall make the necessary repairs to place the
utilities back in service and to construct the work as intended at no
increase in the Contract price. All such repairs must conform to the
requirements of the company or agency that owns the utility.

A-22 Minority/Minority Suaiaess 8aterpriae Participatioa Policy (Revised 10/98)
1. Policy
It is the policy of the City of Corpus Christi that maximum opportunity
is afforded minorities, women and Minority Business Enterprises to
participate in 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, 1969, 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.
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 persona 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 buainesa 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 buainesa
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
eectioa A - 9P
(Reviee8 12/15/04)
Page 10 of 29
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.
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 51.08 of

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 50.08 of the contract work itself and in which
a minority joint venture partner has a 50.08 interest, shall be
deemed equivalent to having minority participation in 25.08 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

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 8ntarpriae
(Percent) Participation (Percent)
45$ 159c
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.
c. To comply with State requirements, the goal for participation by
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) certified through the
Texas Unified Certification Program in accordance with 49 CFR Part
26, expressed in percentage terms for the Contractor's aggregate
work force on all construction work for the Contract award is 58.
This 58 goal could also apply toward the MBE goal.
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.

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 field management and oversight of projects of a similar size and
complexity to this Project. This experience must include, but not
necessarily limited to, scheduling of manpower and materials, safety,
coordination of subcontractors, and familiarity with the submittal
process, federal and state wage rate requirements, and City contract
close-out procedures.
The superintendent shall be present, on the job site, at all times that
work is being performed.
2. Foremen, if utilized, shall have at least five (5) years recent
experience in similar work and be subordinate to the superintendent.
Foremen cannot act as superintendent without prior written approval from
the City.
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 assuming responsibilities on the
Project.
Such written approval of field administration staff 1a 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 adds the following text:
Within five (5) working days following the public opening and reading of the
proposals, the three (3) apparent lowest bidders (based on the Base Bid only)
must submit to the City Engineer the following information:
1. A list of the major components of the work;
2. A list of the products to be incorporated into the Project;
3. A schedule of values which specifies estimates of the cost for each
major component of the work;

4. A schedule of anticipated monthly payments for the Project duration;
5. The names and addresses of MBE firms that will participate in the
Contract, 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 firma, 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
concerning Considerations for Contract Award and Execution and the
Contractor's Field Administration Staff.
