SECTION 00 43 37 1
VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW NON- RESIDENT BIDDER 2
3
Texas Government Code Chapter 2252 was adopted for the award of contracts to nonresident 4
bidders. This law provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, nonresident 5
bidders (out-of-state contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of business are outside 6
the State of Texas) bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies or services in Texas at 7
an amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas resident 8
bidder would be required to underbid a nonresident bidder in order to obtain a comparable 9
contract in the State which the nonresident’s principal place of business is located. 10
The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all nonresident bidders in order for your 11
bid to meet specifications. The failure of nonresident bidders to do so will automatically 12
disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in Section B. 13
A. Nonresident bidders in the State of ______________________, our principal place of 14
business, are required to be ________________ percent lower than resident bidders by State 15
Law. A copy of the statute is attached. 16
Nonresident bidders in the State of _____________________, our principal place of business, 17
are not required to underbid resident bidders. 18
B. The principal place of business of our company or our parent company or majority owner is 19
in the State of Texas. 20

9.02 Visits to Site
A. City will make visits to the Site at intervals appropriate to the various stages of construction as
City deems necessary in order to observe the progress that has been made and the quality of
the various aspects of Contractor’s executed Work. Based on information obtained during
such visits and observations, City will determine, in general, if the Work is proceeding in
accordance with the Contract Documents. City will not be required to make exhaustive or
continuous inspections on the Site to check the quality or quantity of the Work. City’s efforts
will be directed toward providing City a greater degree of confidence that the completed Work
will conform generally to the Contract Documents.
B. City’s visits and observations are subject to all the limitations on authority and responsibility set
forth in Paragraph 8.07. Particularly, but without limitation, during or as a result of City’s visits
or observations of Contractor’s Work, City will not supervise, direct, control, or have authority
over or be responsible for Contractor’s means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures
of construction, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto, or for any failure of
Contractor to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to the performance of the Work.
9.03 Authorized Variations in Work
City’s Project Manager or duly authorized representative may authorize minor variations in the
Work from the requirements of the Contract Documents which do not involve an adjustment in the
Contract Price or the Contract Time and are compatible with the design concept of the completed
Project as a functioning whole as indicated by the Contract Documents. These may be accomplished
by a Field Order and will be binding on City and also on Contractor, who shall perform the Work
involved promptly.
9.04 Rejecting Defective Work
City will have authority to reject Work which City’s Project Manager or duly authorized
representative believes to be defective, or will not produce a completed Project that conforms to the
Contract Documents or that will prejudice the integrity of the design concept of the completed
Project as a functioning whole as indicated by the Contract Documents. City will have authority to
conduct special inspection or testing of the Work as provided in Article 13, whether or not the Work
is fabricated, installed, or completed.
9.05 Determinations for Work Performed
Contractor will determine the actual quantities and classifications of Work performed. City’s Project
Manager or duly authorized representative will review with Contractor the preliminary
determinations on such matters before rendering a written recommendation. City’s written decision
will be final (except as modified to reflect changed factual conditions or more accurate data).

City subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9.05.
C. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by Contractor to be adequate to
cover Contractor’s overhead and profit for each separately identified item. Work described in the

work under the Contract Documents, the altered work will be paid for at the Contract unit
price.
2. If the changes in quantities or alterations significantly change the character of work, the
Contract will be amended by a Change Order.
3. If no unit prices exist, this will be considered Extra Work and the Contract will be amended
by a Change Order in accordance with Article 12.
4. A significant change in the character of work occurs when:
a. the character of work for any Item as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that
in the Contract or
b. a Major Item of work varies by more than 25% from the original Contract quantity.
5. When the quantity of work to be done under any Major Item of the Contract is more than
125% of the original quantity stated in the Contract, then either party to the Contract may
request an adjustment to the unit price on the portion of the work that is above 125%.
6. When the quantity of work to be done under any Major Item of the Contract is less than 75%
of the original quantity stated in the Contract, then either party to the Contract may request

designated as final payment quantities, unless revised by the governing Section or this Article.
B. If the quantity measured as outlined under “Price and Payment Procedures” varies by more than
25% (or as stipulated under “Price and Payment Procedures” for specific Items) from the total
estimated quantity for an individual Item originally shown in the Contract Documents, an
adjustment may be made to the quantity of authorized work done for payment purposes. The
party to the Contract requesting the adjustment will provide field measurements and calculations
showing the final quantity for which payment will be made. Payment for revised quantity will be
made at the unit price bid for that Item, except as provided for in Article 10.
C. When quantities are revised by a change in design approved by the City, by Change Order, or to
correct an error, or to correct an error on the plans, the plans quantity will be increased or
decreased by the amount involved in the change, and the 25% variance will apply to the new
plans quantity.
D. If the total Contract quantity multiplied by the unit price bid for an individual Item is less than
$250 and the Item is not originally a plans quantity Item, then the Item may be paid as a plans
quantity Item if the City and Contractor agree in writing to fix the final quantity as a plans
quantity.
E. For callout work or non-site specific Contracts, the plans quantity measurement requirements are
not applicable.
ARTICLE 12 – CHANGE OF CONTRACT PRICE; CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME
12.01 Change of Contract Price
A. The Contract Price may only be changed by a Change Order.

tier, will be paid a fee of 15 percent of the costs incurred by such Subcontractor under
Paragraphs 11.01.A.1 and 11.01.A.2 and that any higher tier Subcontractor and
Contractor will each be paid a fee of five percent (5%) of the amount paid to the next
lower tier Subcontractor, however in no case shall the cumulative total of fees paid be
in excess of 25%;
c. no fee shall be payable on the basis of costs itemized under Paragraphs 11.01.A.6, and
11.01.B;
d. the amount of credit to be allowed by Contractor to City for any change which results in
a net decrease in cost will be the amount of the actual net decrease in cost plus a
deduction in Contractor’s fee by an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such net
decrease.
12.02 Change of Contract Time

court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such correction
or removal (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others).

B. When correcting defective Work under the terms of this Paragraph 13.06 or Paragraph 13.07,
Contractor shall take no action that would void or otherwise impair City’s special warranty and
guarantee, if any, on said Work.
13.07 Correction Period
A. If within two (2) years after the date of Final Acceptance (or such longer period of time as may
be prescribed by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract
Documents), any Work is found to be defective, or if the repair of any damages to the land or
areas made available for Contractor’s use by City or permitted by Laws and Regulations as
contemplated in Paragraph 6.10.A is found to be defective, Contractor shall promptly, without
cost to City and in accordance with City’s written instructions:
1. repair such defective land or areas; or
2. correct such defective Work; or
3. if the defective Work has been rejected by City, remove it from the Project and replace it
with Work that is not defective, and
4. satisfactorily correct or repair or remove and replace any damage to other Work, to the work
of others or other land or areas resulting therefrom.
B. If Contractor does not promptly comply with the terms of City’s written instructions, or in an
emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, City may have the defective
Work corrected or repaired or may have the rejected Work removed and replaced. All claims,
costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers,
architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or other dispute resolution costs)
arising out of or relating to such correction or repair or such removal and replacement (including
but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others) will be paid by Contractor.
C. In special circumstances where a particular item of equipment is placed in continuous service
before Final Acceptance of all the Work, the correction period for that item may start to run from
an earlier date if so provided in the Contract Documents.
D. Where defective Work (and damage to other Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected or
removed and replaced under this Paragraph 13.07, the correction period hereunder with respect
to such Work may be required to be extended for an additional period of one year after the end of
the initial correction period. City shall provide 30 days written notice to Contractor should such
additional warranty coverage be required. Contractor may dispute this requirement by filing a
Contract Claim, pursuant to Paragraph 10.06.
E. Contractor’s obligations under this Paragraph 13.07 are in addition to any other obligation or
warranty. The provisions of this Paragraph 13.07 shall not be construed as a substitute for, or a
waiver of, the provisions of any applicable statute of limitation or repose.

13.08 Acceptance of Defective Work
If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, City prefers to
accept it, City may do so. Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but
not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all
court or other dispute resolution costs) attributable to City’s evaluation of and determination to
accept such defective Work and for the diminished value of the Work to the extent not otherwise
paid by Contractor. If any such acceptance occurs prior to Final Acceptance, a Change Order will be
issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work,
and City shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, reflecting the diminished
value of Work so accepted.

Work, or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by City in accordance with Paragraph
13.06.A, or if Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents,
or if Contractor fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, City may,
after seven (7) days written notice to Contractor, correct, or remedy any such deficiency.
B. In exercising the rights and remedies under this Paragraph 13.09, City shall proceed
expeditiously. In connection with such corrective or remedial action, City may exclude
Contractor from all or part of the Site, take possession of all or part of the Work and suspend
Contractor’s services related thereto, and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment
incorporated in the Work, stored at the Site or for which City has paid Contractor but which are
stored elsewhere. Contractor shall allow City, City’s representatives, agents, consultants,
employees, and City’s other contractors, access to the Site to enable City to exercise the rights
and remedies under this Paragraph.
C. All claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or other dispute resolution
costs) incurred or sustained by City in exercising the rights and remedies under this Paragraph
13.09 will be charged against Contractor, and a Change Order will be issued incorporating the
necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and City shall be
entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price.

performance of the Work attributable to the exercise of City’s rights and remedies under this

determination of quantities and classifications for Work performed under Paragraph 9.05,
and any other qualifications stated in the recommendation).
3. Processing any such payment will not thereby be deemed to have represented that:

performed have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or
involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically
assigned to City in the Contract Documents; or
b. there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle Contractor
to be paid additionally by City or entitle City to withhold payment to Contractor, or
c. Contractor has complied with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor’s
performance of the Work.
4. City may refuse to process the whole or any part of any payment because of subsequently
discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, and revise or revoke
any such payment previously made, to such extent as may be necessary to protect City from
loss because:

subcontractors, requiring correction or replacement;
b. discrepancies in quantities contained in previous applications for payment;
c. the Contract Price has been reduced by Change Orders;
d. City has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with

suffered by the City.

will become due in accordance with the Contract Documents.

A. Prior to Final Acceptance of all the Work, City may use or occupy any substantially completed
part of the Work which has specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or which

receipt of Contractor’s final Application for Payment, and without terminating the Contract,

and maintenance, and test and performance periods following the completion of all other
construction in the Contract Documents for all Work locations, the City may release a portion of
the amount retained provided that all other work is completed as determined by the City. Before
the release, all submittals and final quantities must be completed and accepted for all other work.
An amount sufficient to ensure Contract compliance will be retained.
14.09 Waiver of Claims
The acceptance of final payment will constitute a release of the City from all claims or liabilities

Documents or any act or neglect of City related to or connected with the Contract.
ARTICLE 15 – SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION
15.01 City May Suspend Work
A. At any time and without cause, City may suspend the Work or any portion thereof by written
notice to Contractor and which may fix the date on which Work will be resumed. Contractor
shall resume the Work on the date so fixed. During temporary suspension of the Work covered
by these Contract Documents, for any reason, the City will make no extra payment for stand-by
time of construction equipment and/or construction crews.
B. Should the Contractor not be able to complete a portion of the Project due to causes beyond the
control of and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, and should it be determined by
mutual consent of the Contractor and City that a solution to allow construction to proceed is not
available within a reasonable period of time, Contractor may request an extension in Contract
Time, directly attributable to any such suspension.
C. If it should become necessary to suspend the Work for an indefinite period, the Contractor shall
store all materials in such a manner that they will not obstruct or impede the public unnecessarily
nor become damaged in any way, and he shall take every precaution to prevent damage or
deterioration of the work performed; he shall provide suitable drainage about the work, and erect
temporary structures where necessary.
D. Contractor may be reimbursed for the cost of moving his equipment off the job and returning the
necessary equipment to the job when it is determined by the City that construction may be
resumed. Such reimbursement shall be based on actual cost to the Contractor of moving the
equipment and no profit will be allowed. Reimbursement may not be allowed if the equipment is
moved to another construction project for the City.
15.02 City May Terminate for Cause
A. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events by way of example, but not of

GENERAL CONDITIONS

limitation, may justify termination for cause:
1. Contractor’s persistent failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or
suitable materials or equipment, failure to adhere to the Project Schedule established under
Paragraph 2.07 as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Paragraph 6.04.

3. Contractor’s repeated disregard of the authority of City; or
4. Contractor’s violation in any substantial way of any provisions of the Contract Documents;
or

defects of any nature, the correction of which has been directed in writing by the City; or
6. Substantial indication that the Contractor has made an unauthorized assignment of the
Contract or any funds due therefrom for the benefit of any creditor or for any other purpose;
or
7. Substantial evidence that the Contractor has become insolvent or bankrupt, or otherwise
financially unable to carry on the Work satisfactorily; or
8. Contractor commences legal action in a court of competent jurisdiction against the City.
B. If one or more of the events identified in Paragraph 15.02A. occur, City will provide written
notice to Contractor and Surety to arrange a conference with Contractor and Surety to address
Contractor's failure to perform the Work. Conference shall be held not later than 15 days, after
receipt of notice.
1. If the City, the Contractor, and the Surety do not agree to allow the Contractor to proceed to
perform the construction Contract, the City may, to the extent permitted by Laws and
Regulations, declare a Contractor default and formally terminate the Contractor's right to
complete the Contract. Contractor default shall not be declared earlier than 20 days after the
Contractor and Surety have received notice of conference to address Contractor's failure to
perform the Work.
2. If Contractor's services are terminated, Surety shall be obligated to take over and perform the
Work. If Surety does not commence performance thereof within 15 consecutive calendar
days after date of an additional written notice demanding Surety's performance of its
obligations, then City, without process or action at law, may take over any portion of the
Work and complete it as described below.
a. If City completes the Work, City may exclude Contractor and Surety from the site and
take possession of the Work, and all materials and equipment incorporated into the

stored elsewhere, and finish the Work as City may deem expedient.
3. Whether City or Surety completes the Work, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any
further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price
exceeds all claims, costs, losses and damages sustained by City arising out of or resulting
from completing the Work, such excess will be paid to Contractor. If such claims, costs,
losses and damages exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the difference to City.
Such claims, costs, losses and damages incurred by City will be incorporated in a Change
Order, provided that when exercising any rights or remedies under this Paragraph, City shall
not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed.
4. Neither City, nor any of its respective consultants, agents, officers, directors or employees
shall be in any way liable or accountable to Contractor or Surety for the method by which the
completion of the said Work, or any portion thereof, may be accomplished or for the price
paid therefor.
5. City, notwithstanding the method used in completing the Contract, shall not forfeit the right
to recover damages from Contractor or Surety for Contractor's failure to timely complete the
entire Contract. Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim on account of the method used
by City in completing the Contract.
6. Maintenance of the Work shall continue to be Contractor's and Surety's responsibilities as
provided for in the bond requirements of the Contract Documents or any special guarantees
provided for under the Contract Documents or any other obligations otherwise prescribed by
law.
C. Notwithstanding Paragraphs 15.02.B, Contractor’s services will not be terminated if Contractor
begins within seven days of receipt of notice of intent to terminate to correct its failure to
perform and proceeds diligently to cure such failure within no more than 30 days of receipt of
said notice.
D. Where Contractor’s services have been so terminated by City, the termination will not affect any
rights or remedies of City against Contractor then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any
retention or payment of moneys due Contractor by City will not release Contractor from liability.
E. If and to the extent that Contractor has provided a performance bond under the provisions of
Paragraph 5.02, the termination procedures of that bond shall not supersede the provisions of this
Article.
15.03 City May Terminate For Convenience
A. City may, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of City, terminate the
Contract. Any termination shall be effected by mailing a notice of the termination to the

connection with uncompleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on
such expenses; and
3. reasonable expenses directly attributable to termination.
G. In the event of the failure of the Contractor and City to agree upon the whole amount to be paid

of information available to it, the amount, if any, due to the Contractor by reason of the
termination and shall pay to the Contractor the amounts determined. Contractor shall not be paid

the Contract time shall be governed by the principles of this Article and shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of Article 11, “Amending the Contract Documents, Changes
With Work” of the General Conditions.
1. Non-excusable Delay: Actions or inactions of the CONTRACTOR, or events for which the
CONTRACTOR has assumed contractual responsibility (including actions or inactions of
subcontractors, suppliers or materialmen at any tier) which would independently delay
the completion of the Work beyond the current Contract completion date shall be
designated as non-excusable delay. The CONTRACTOR shall not receive any time
extension for such delays.
2. Excusable Delay: Events which are unforeseeable, outside the control of, and without the
fault or negligence of either the OWNER or the CONTRACTOR (or any party for whom
either is responsible), which would independently delay the completion of the Work
beyond the current Contract completion date shall be designated as excusable delay.
The CONTRACTOR is entitled to a time extension only and shall not receive any other
damages.
3. Compensable Delay: Actions or inactions of the OWNER, or events for which the
OWNER has assumed contractual responsibility, which would independently delay the
completion of the Work beyond the current Contract completion date shall be designated
as compensable delay. The CONTRACTOR is entitled to a time extension and delay
damages.
4. Concurrent Delay: Concurrent delay is any combination of the above three types of delay
occurring on the same calendar date(s), except in cases where the combination consists
of two or more instances of the same type of delay occurring on the same calendar
date(s). When one cause of delay is OWNER- caused or caused by an event which is
beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of either the OWNER or the
Project No. 18088080 15 Section 01 32 00
Lake Lewisville WTP Dewatering Improvements Construction Progress Documentation
CONTRACTOR and the other CONTRACTOR-caused, the CONTRACTOR is entitled
only to a time extension and no delay damages.
B. If the CONTRACTOR believes that the OWNER has impacted its work, such that the project
completion date will be delayed, the CONTRACTOR must submit proof demonstrating the delay
to the critical path. This proof, in the form of a Time Impact Analysis, may entitle the
CONTRACTOR to an adjustment of contract time.
C. Time Impact Analysis:
1. The Time Impact Analysis submitted by the CONTRACTOR shall utilize the accepted
schedule update that is current relative to the time frame of the delay event (change
order, third party delay, or other OWNER-caused delay). The CONTRACTOR shall
represent the delay event in the schedule by 1) inserting new activities associated with
the delay event into the schedule, 2) revising activity logic, or 3) revising activity
durations.
2. If the project schedule’s critical path and completion date are impacted as a result of
adding this delay event to the schedule, a time extension equal to the magnitude of the
impact may be warranted.
3. The Time Impact Analysis submittal shall consist of 1) a fragment of the portion of the
schedule affected by the delay event, 2) a narrative explanation of the delay issue and
how it impacted the schedule, and 3) a compact disc containing the schedule file used to
perform the Time Impact Analysis.
D. When a delay to the project as a whole can be avoided by revising preferential sequencing or
logic, and the CONTRACTOR chooses not to implement the revisions, the CONTRACTOR will
be entitled to a time extension and no compensation for extended overhead.
E. Indicate clearly that the CONTRACTOR has used, in full, all project float available for the work
involved in the request, including any float that may exist between the CONTRACTOR's
planned completion date and the Contract completion date. Utilize the latest version of the
Schedule Update accepted at the time of the alleged delay, and all other relevant information, to
determine the adjustment of the contract time.
F. Float shall be for the mutual benefit of the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR. Adjustment of the
Contract Times will be granted only when the Contract Float has been fully utilized and only
when the revised date of completion of the Work has been pushed beyond the contract
completion date. Adjustment of the Contract Times will be made only for the number of days
that the planned completion of the work has been extended.
1. Float time is a Project resource available to both parties to meet contract Milestones and
Contract Times.
2. Use of float suppression techniques, such as preferential sequencing or logic, special
lead/lag logic restraints, and extended activity times are prohibited. Use of float time
disclosed or implied by use of alternate float-suppression techniques shall be shared to
proportionate benefit of Owner and Contractor.
3. Pursuant to above float-sharing requirement, no time extensions will be granted nor delay
damages paid until a delay occurs, which:
4. Impacts Project’s critical path,
5. Consumes all available float or contingency time, and
6. Extends Work beyond contract completion date.
G. Actual delays in activities which do not affect the critical path work or which do not move the
CONTRACTOR's planned completion date beyond the Contract completion date will not be the
basis for an adjustment to the contract time.
Project No. 18088080 16 Section 01 32 00
Lake Lewisville WTP Dewatering Improvements Construction Progress Documentation
H. The CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to job-site or home office overhead beyond the
CONTRACTOR's originally planned occupancy of the site if completion of the project occurs
within the specified contract time.
I. Notify ENGINEER of a request for contract time adjustment. Submit request in accordance with
GC.11, Article 11, “Amending the Contract Documents, Changes With Work” of the General
Conditions. In cases where the CONTRACTOR does not submit a request for contract time
adjustment for a specific change order, delay, or CONTRACTOR request within the specified
period of time, then it is mutually agreed that the particular change order, delay, or
CONTRACTOR request has no time impact on the Contract completion date and no time
extension is required.
J. The ENGINEER will, within 30 calendar days after receipt of a contract time adjustment, request
any supporting evidence, review the facts and advise the CONTRACTOR in writing.
K. The new Progress Schedule data, if accepted by the OWNER, shall be included in the next
monthly Schedule Update.
L. When the OWNER has not yet made a final determination as to the adjustment of the contract
time, and the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of the adjustment to be reflected in
the Progress Schedule, reflect that amount of time adjustment in the Progress Schedule as the
ENGINEER may accept as appropriate for such interim purpose. It is understood and agreed
that any such interim acceptance by the ENGINEER shall not be binding and shall be made
only for the purpose of continuing to schedule the Work, until such time as a final determination
as to any adjustment of the contract time acceptable to the ENGINEER has been made. Revise
the Progress Schedule prepared thereafter in accordance with the final decision.
M. Claims Based on Contract Times:
1. Where Engineer has not yet rendered formal decision on Contractor’s Claim for
adjustment of Contract Times, and parties are unable to agree as to amount of
adjustment to be reflected in Progress Schedule, Contractor shall reflect an interim
adjustment in the Progress Schedule as acceptable to Engineer.
2. It is understood and agreed that such interim acceptance will not be binding on either
Contractor or Owner, and will be made only for the purpose of continuing to schedule
Work until such time as formal decision has been rendered as to an adjustment, if any, of
the Contract Times.
3. Contractor shall revise Progress Schedule prepared thereafter in accordance with
Engineer’s formal decision.
1.24 FINAL SCHEDULE SUBMITTAL
A. As a condition precedent to the release of retainage, the final Schedule Update shall be
identified by the CONTRACTOR as the As-Built Schedule.
B. The As-Built Schedule shall reflect the exact manner in which the project was constructed by
reflecting actual start and completion dates for all activities accomplished on the project.
C. The As-Built Schedule shall be signed and certified by the CONTRACTOR’s Project Manager
and scheduler as being an accurate record of the way in which the project was actually
constructed.

concrete. Immediately after forms are removed, the surface of the concrete shall be
carefully examined and any irregularities in the surface shall be repaired and finished as
specified.
a. Leave formwork for beam soffits, joists, structural slabs, beams, girders and other
structural elements that support weight of concrete in place until concrete has
achieved 100 percent its 28-day design compressive strength and a minimum of 7
days.
b. Formwork for sides of beams, walls, columns and similar parts of the Work that
does not support weight of concrete may be removed after cumulatively curing at
not less than 50°F (10 deg C) for 48 hours after placing concrete, if concrete is
hard enough to not be damaged by form-removal operations and curing and
protection operations are maintained.
c. Leave bracing for walls until the top or roof slab concrete reaches 100% of its 28-
day design compressive strength and a minimum of 7 days.
d. Remove forms only if shores have been arranged to permit removal of forms
without loosening or disturbing shores.
2. Clean and repair surfaces of forms to be reused in the Work. Split, frayed, delaminated or
otherwise damaged form-facing material will not be acceptable for exposed surfaces.
Apply new form-release agent.
3. When forms are reused, clean surfaces, remove fins and laitance, and tighten to close
joints. Align and secure joints to avoid offsets. Do not use patched forms for exposed
concrete surfaces unless approved in writing by the Engineer.

ready-mixed concrete products and that complies with ASTM C94/C94M requirements for
production facilities and equipment.
1. Manufacturer certified according to NRMCA's "Certification of Ready Mixed Concrete
Production Facilities."
2. The criteria hereinafter set out are solely for the purpose of establishing required mixture
proportions and do not constitute a basis for confirming the adequacy of concrete
strength.
a. Required Average Strength Above Specified Compressive Strength: Proportions,
including water-cement ratio, shall be established on the basis either of laboratory
trial batches or of field experience with the materials to be employed. The
proportions shall be selected to produce an average strength of 28 days exceeding
the specified compressive strength by the amount indicated below, when both air
content and slump are the maximums permitted by the Specifications.
b. Determination of the required average strength shall be in accordance with ACI
318 “Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete,” except that if suitable
data from trial batches or field experience cannot be obtained, permission will not
be granted to base concrete proportions on the water-cement ratio limits set out in
the above referenced code.
1). Past Plant Performance: Proportions may be established on the actual field
performance of the ready-mix producer. Where the concrete production facility
has a record, based on at least 30 consecutive strength tests taken within the
prior 12 months representing similar materials and conditions to those ex-
pected, the strength used as the basis for selecting proportions shall exceed
the required f’c by at least:
a). 400 psi if the standard deviation is less than 300 psi;
b). 500 psi if the standard deviation is 300 to 400 psi;
c). 700 psi if the standard deviation is 400 to 500 psi;
d). 900 psi if the standard deviation is 500 to 600 psi;
Project No. 18088080 5 Section 03 30 00
Lake Lewisville WTP Dewatering Improvements Cast-In-Place Concrete
e). 1,200 psi if the standard deviation is above 600 psi or unknown.
2). Strength data for determining standard deviation shall be considered to comply
with the foregoing stipulations if they represent either a group of at least 30
consecutive tests or the statistical average of two groups totaling 30 or more
tests. The tests used to establish standard deviation shall represent concrete
produced to meet a specified strength or strengths within 1,000 psi of that
specified for the proposed work. Changes in materials and proportions within
the population of background tests shall not have been more closely restricted
than they will be for the proposed work.
3). Strength data for determining standard deviation shall be considered to comply
with the foregoing stipulations if they represent either a group of at least 30
consecutive tests or the statistical average of two groups totaling 30 or more
tests. The tests used to establish standard deviation shall represent concrete
produced to meet a specified strength or strengths within 1,000 psi of that
specified for the proposed work. Changes in materials and proportions within
the population of background tests shall not have been more closely restricted
than they will be for the proposed work.
4). Laboratory Trial Batches: When the ready-mix producer does not have a rec-
ord of past performance, the combination of materials and the proportions se-
lected shall be determined from trial mixes having proportions and consisten-
cies suitable for the work based on ACI 211.1-77.
a) When laboratory trial batches are used as the basis for selecting con-
crete proportions, strength tests shall be made in accordance with
“Method of Test for Compressive Strength of Molded Concrete Cylin-
ders” (ASTM C39) on specimens prepared in accordance with “Meth-
od of Making and Curing Test Specimens in the Laboratory” (ASTM
C192). A curve shall be established showing the relationship between
water-cement ratio (or cement content) and compressive strength.
The curve shall be based on at least three points representing batch-
es which produce strengths above and below that required. Each
point shall represent the average of at least three specimens tested at
28 days or the earlier age designation.
b) The average strength required shall exceed the specified compres-
sive strength by 1,200 psi.
c) The maximum permissible water-cement ratio (or minimum cement
content) for the concrete to be used in the structure shall be that
shown by the curve to produce the average strength indicated, but in
no case shall the water-cement ratio exceed 0.42 by weight.
C. Testing Agency Qualifications: An independent agency, acceptable to authorities having
jurisdiction, qualified according to ASTM C1077 and ASTM E329 for testing indicated.
1. Personnel conducting field tests shall be qualified as ACI Concrete Field Testing
Technician, Grade 1, according to ACI CP-1 or an equivalent certification program.

CONCRETE MIXTURES FOR HYDRAULIC ELEMENTS for the first placement of each
class of concrete for all structures noted in paragraph CONCRETE MIXTURES FOR
HYDRAULIC ELEMENTS, and during construction to insure continued compliance with
these Specifications. Number of field test to be determined by Engineer or Engineer’s
Field Representative.
2. Drying shrinkage specimens shall be 4” by 4” by 11” prisms with an effective gauge
length of 10”; fabricated, cured, dried, and measured in accordance with ASTM C157
modified as follows: specimens shall be removed from molds at an age of 23 ±1 hours
after trial batching, shall be placed immediately in water at 70 °F ±3 °F for at least 30
minutes, and shall be measured within 30 minutes thereafter to determine original length
and then submerged in saturated lime water at 73 °F ± 3 °F. Measurement to determine
expansion expressed as a percentage of original length shall be made at age 7 days.
This length at age 7 days shall be the base length for drying shrinkage calculations (“0”
days drying age). Specimens then shall be stored immediately in a humidity control room
maintained at 73 °F ±3 °F and 50% ±4% relative humidity for the remainder of the test.
Measurements to determine shrinkage expressed as percentage of base length shall be
made and reported separately for 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of drying after 7 days of moist
curing.
3. The drying shrinkage deformation of each specimen shall be computed as the difference
between the base length (at “0” days drying age) and the length after drying at each test
age. The average drying shrinkage deformation of the specimens shall be computed to
the nearest 0.0001” at each test age. If the drying shrinkage of any specimen departs
from the average of that test age by more than 0.0004”, the results obtained from that
specimen shall be discarded. Results of the shrinkage test shall be reported in graphical
form Length Change (in) vs. Age (days) and Length Change (%) vs. Age (days) to the
nearest 0.001% of shrinkage. Compression test specimens shall be taken in each case
from the same concrete used for preparing drying shrinkage specimens. These tests
shall be considered a part of the normal compression tests for the project. Allowable
shrinkage limitations shall be as indicated below.
a. Shrinkage Limitation: The maximum concrete shrinkage for specimens cast in the
laboratory from the trial batch, as measured at 21-day drying age or at 28-day
drying age shall be 0.036% or 0.042%, respectively. The Contractor shall only use
a mix design for construction that has first met the trial batch shrinkage
requirements.
b. The maximum concrete shrinkage for specimens cast in the field shall not exceed
the trial batch maximum shrinkage requirement by more than 25%.
Project No. 18088080 22 Section 03 30 00
Lake Lewisville WTP Dewatering Improvements Cast-In-Place Concrete
c. If the required shrinkage limitation is not met during construction, the Contractor
shall take any or all of the following actions at no additional cost to the Owner, for
securing the specified shrinkage requirements. These actions may include
changing the source of aggregates, cement and/or admixtures; reducing water
content; washing of aggregate to reduce fines; increasing the number of
construction joints; modifying the curing requirements; or other actions designed to
minimize shrinkage or the effects of shrinkage
F. Water Leakage Tests: In accordance with ACI 350.1.
1. Purpose: Determine integrity and water tightness of finished concrete surfaces.
Contractor shall perform and pay for all costs associated with water leakage tests.
Report all test results to the Engineer.
2. All water-holding Structures:
a. Perform leakage tests after concrete structure is complete and capable of resisting
the hydrostatic pressure of the water test. The concrete shall have achieved its full
design strength.
b. Perform leakage test before backfill, brick facing, or other work that will cover
concrete wall surfaces is begun.
c. Install all temporary bulkheads, cofferdams, and pipe blind flanges, and close all
valves. Inspect each to see that it provides a complete seal.
d. Fill with water to test level shown, or maximum liquid level if no test level is given.
Maintain this level for 72 hours prior to the start of the test to allow water
absorption, structural deflection, and temperature to stabilize.
e. Measure evaporation and precipitation by floating a partially filled, transparent,
calibrated, open top container.
f. Measure the water surface at two points 180° apart, when possible where
attachments such as ladders exist, at 24-hour intervals. Using a sharp pointed
hook gauge and fixed metal measure capable of reading to 1/100 of an inch.
Continue the test for a period of time sufficient to produce at least 1/2” drop in the
water surface based on the assumption that leakage would occur at the maximum
allowable rate specified or for 72 hours whichever is the lesser time.
G. Acceptance Criteria:
1. Volume loss shall not exceed 0.075% of contained liquid volume in a 24-hour period,
correcting for evaporation, precipitation, and settlement.
2. No damp spots or seepage visible on exterior surfaces. A damp spot is defined as
sufficient moisture to be transferred to a dry hand upon touching.
H. Repairs When Test Fails: Dewater the structure; fill leaking cracks with crack repair epoxy as
specified in Section 03 64 00 CONCRETE REPAIR CRACK INJECTION. Patch areas of damp
spots previously recorded, and repeat water leakage test in its entirety until the structure
successfully passes the test.

Project No. 18088080 5 Section 09 91 23
Lake Lewisville WTP Dewatering Improvements Interior Painting
3.2 PREPARATION
A. General: Listing below does not necessarily imply that each and every substrate condition
listed will be encountered in this Project. Perform all preparation and cleaning procedures in
strict accordance with the paint manufacturer's instructions and as herein specified, for each
particular substrate condition.
1. Remove all hardware, hardware accessories, machined surfaces, plates, lighting fixtures,
and similar items in place and not to be finish painted, or provide surface-applied
protection prior to surface preparation and painting operations. Remove, if necessary, for
the complete painting of the items and adjacent surfaces. Following completion of
painting of each space or area, reinstall the removed items by workmen skilled in the
trades involved.
2. Clean surfaces to be painted before applying paint or surface treatments. Remove oil
and grease with clean cloths and cleaning solvents prior to mechanical cleaning.
Schedule cleaning and painting so that dust and other contaminants from the cleaning
process will not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces.
3. Remove hardware and hardware accessories, plates, machined surfaces, lighting
fixtures, and similar items in place that are not to be painted, or provide surface-applied
protection prior to surface preparation and painting. Remove these items if necessary for
complete painting of the items and adjacent surfaces. Following completion of painting
operations in each space or area, have items reinstalled by workers skilled in the trades
involved.
4. At existing areas to be repainted, remove blistered or peeling paint to sound substrates.
Remove chalk deposits and mildew and wash all surfaces with mild detergent. Perform
related minor preparation including caulk and glazing compounds. Spot prime bare areas
before priming and painting as specified.
B. Surface Preparation: Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions for each particular substrate condition and as specified.
1. Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or remove and re-prime. Notify Engineer
in writing of problems anticipated with using the specified finish-coat material with
substrates primed by others.
C. Cementitious Materials: Prepare concrete, concrete masonry block, cement plaster, and
mineral-fiber-reinforced cement panel surfaces to be painted. Remove efflorescence, chalk,
dust, dirt, grease, oils, and release agents. Roughen as required to remove glaze. If hardeners
or sealers have been used to improve curing, use mechanical methods of surface preparation.
1. Determine the alkalinity and moisture content of the surfaces to be painted by performing
appropriate tests. If the surfaces are found to be sufficiently alkaline to cause blistering
and burning of the finish paint, correct this condition before application of paint.
2. Do not paint over surfaces where the moisture content exceeds 8%, unless otherwise
permitted in the manufacturer's printed directions.
D. Concrete Floors: Acid etch or scarify all surfaces to create a surface profile similar to medium
grit sandpaper (more than one application of acid may be required to obtain this degree of
surface profile). Rinse all surfaces until a neutral pH is obtained. All surfaces shall be clean
and dry.
E. Structural and Miscellaneous Ferrous Metals (non process): Clean non-galvanized ferrous-
metal surfaces that have not been shop coated; remove oil, grease, dirt, loose mill scale, and
other foreign substances. Use solvent or mechanical cleaning methods that comply with
recommendations of the Steel Structures Painting Council.
1. Clean non-galvanized, ferrous surfaces that have not been shop-coated of all oil, grease,
dirt, loose mill scale and other foreign substances by solvent or mechanical cleaning,
complying with Steel Structures Painting Council (SSPC) - SP3.
Project No. 18088080 6 Section 09 91 23
Lake Lewisville WTP Dewatering Improvements Interior Painting
2. Touch-up shop-applied prime coats which have damaged or bare areas. Wire-brush,
solvent clean, and touch-up with the same primer as the shop coat.
3. Touch up bare areas and shop-applied prime coats that have been damaged. Wire-
brush, clean with solvents recommended by the paint manufacturer, and touch up with
the same primer as the shop coat.
F. Surface Preparation Ferrous Metals (Process Equipment): Surface preparation of all ferrous
metal to be primed in the shop shall have all rust, dust and scale, as well as all other foreign
substances, removed by blasting (Black Beauty or equal) or pickling. Cleaned metal shall be
primed or pre- treated immediately after cleaning to prevent new rusting. All ferrous metals not
primed in the shop shall be sandblasted in the field prior to application of the primer,
pretreatment or paint. Grades of sandblasting shall be as indicated for the specific application
below and shall conform to the following definitions:
1. White Metal Blast - NACE No. 1 or SSPC-SP-5
2. Near White Metal Blast - NACE No. 2 or SSPC-SP-10
3. Commercial Blast - NACE No. 3 or SSPC-SP-6
4. Brush Off Blast - NACE No. 4 or SSPC-SP-7
Unless otherwise specified, surface preparation shall be equivalent to NACE No. 2.
G. Galvanized Surfaces: Clean galvanized surfaces with non-petroleum-based solvents so that
the surface is free of oil and surface contaminants. Remove pretreatment from galvanized
sheet metal fabricated from coil stock by mechanical methods.
1. Clean free of oil and surface contaminants with an acceptable non-petroleum based
solvent. Approximately 24 hours before application of prime coat (and immediately after
cleaning), chemically treat surfaces with a phosphoric acid or copper sulphate solution,
applied according to directions of manufacturer of paint being used.
H. Materials Preparation: Carefully mix and prepare paint materials in accordance with
manufacturer's directions.
1. Maintain containers used in mixing and application of paint in a clean condition, free of
foreign materials and residue.
2. Stir material before application to produce a mixture of uniform density; stir as required
during application. Do not stir surface film into material. Remove film and, if necessary,
strain material before using.
3. Use only thinners approved by the paint manufacturer, and only within recommended
limits.
I. Tinting: Tint each undercoat a lighter shade to facilitate identification of each coat where
multiple coats of the same material are applied. Tint undercoats to match the color of the finish
coat, but provide sufficient differences in shade of undercoats to distinguish each separate coat.
3.3 APPLICATION
A. Apply paint in accordance with manufacturer's directions. Use applicators and techniques best
suited for substrate and type of material being applied.
B. Apply paint with brush, roller, spray, or other acceptable practice in accordance with the
manufacturer's directions. Use brushes best suited for the type of material being applied. Use
rollers of carpet, velvet back, or high pile sheep wool as recommended by the paint
manufacturer for material and texture required.
C. The number of coats and paint film thickness required is the same regardless of the application
method. Do not apply succeeding coats until the previous coat has completely dried. Sand
between each enamel or varnish coat application with fine sandpaper.
Project No. 18088080 7 Section 09 91 23
Lake Lewisville WTP Dewatering Improvements Interior Painting
D. Apply additional coats when undercoats, stains, or other conditions show through the final coat
of paint, until the paint film is of uniform finish, color and appearance. Give special attention to
insure that all surfaces, including edges, corners, crevices, welds, and exposed fasteners
receive a film thickness equivalent to that of flat surfaces.
E. Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture the same as similar exposed surfaces.
Paint surfaces behind permanently fixed equipment or furniture with prime coat only.
F. Paint interior surfaces of ducts, where visible through registers or grilles, with a flat,
non-specular black paint, before final installation of equipment.
G. Paint the back sides of access panels, removable or hinged covers to match the exposed
surfaces.
H. Recoat primed and sealed walls and ceilings where there is evidence of suction spots or
unsealed areas in first coat, to assure a finish coat with no burn-through or other defects due to
insufficient sealing.
I. Do not paint over dirt, rust, scale, grease, moisture, scuffed surfaces, or conditions detrimental
to formation of a durable paint film.
J. Finish interior of wall and base cabinets and similar field-finished casework to match exterior.
K. Omit primer on metal surfaces that have been shop-primed and touch up painted.
L. Brush Application: Brush-out and work all brush coats onto the surfaces in an even film.
Cloudiness, spotting, holidays, laps, brush marks, runs, sags, ropiness, or other surface
imperfections will not be acceptable. Neatly draw all glass and color break lines. Brush apply
all primer or first coats, unless otherwise permitted to use mechanical applicators.
M. Mechanical Applicators: Use mechanical methods for paint application only when permitted by
governing ordinances and trade union regulations. If permitted, limit to only those surfaces
impracticable for brush applications.
N. Limit roller applications (generally) to interior wall and ceiling finishes for second and third
coats. Apply each roller coat to provide the equivalent hiding as brush-applied coats.
O. Confine spray application (generally) to metal framework, siding, decking, wire mesh and similar
surfaces where hand brush work would be inferior and other surfaces specifically recommended
by paint manufacturer.
P. Wherever spray application is used, apply each coat to provide the equivalent hiding of brush
applied coats. Do not double back with spray equipment for the purpose of building up film
thickness of two coats in one pass.
Q. Scheduling Painting: Apply first coat to surfaces that have been cleaned, retreated, or
otherwise prepared for painting as soon as practicable after preparation and before subsequent
surface deterioration.
R. Allow sufficient time between successive coats to permit proper drying. Do not recoat until paint
has dried to where it feels firm, and does not deform or feel sticky under moderate thumb
pressure and where application of another coat of paint does not cause lifting or loss of
adhesion of the undercoat.
