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

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.

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%.

A. Plans quantities may or may not represent the exact quantity of work performed or material
moved, handled, or placed during the execution of the Contract. The estimated bid quantities are
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.

not applicable.
ARTICLE 12 – CHANGE OF CONTRACT PRICE; CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME
12.01 Change of Contract Price

by a mutually agreed lump sum or unit price (which may include an allowance for overhead
and profit not necessarily in accordance with Paragraph 12.01.C.2), and shall include the cost
of any secondary impacts that are foreseeable at the time of pricing the cost of Extra Work;
or

Contractor’s fee for overhead and profit (determined as provided in Paragraph 12.01.C).
C. Contractor’s Fee: The Contractor’s additional fee for overhead and profit shall be determined as
follows:
1. a mutually acceptable fixed fee; or

portions of the Cost of the Work:
a. for costs incurred under Paragraphs 11.01.A.1, 11.01.A.2. and 11.01.A.3, the
Contractor’s additional fee shall be 15 percent except for:

2) bonds and insurance;
b. for costs incurred under Paragraph 11.01.A.4 and 11.01.A.5, the Contractor’s fee shall be
five percent (5%);
1) where one or more tiers of subcontracts are on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a fee
and no fixed fee is agreed upon, the intent of Paragraphs 12.01.C.2.a and
12.01.C.2.b is that the Subcontractor who actually performs the Work, at whatever
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
A. The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order.

Work within the Contract Time due to delay beyond the control of Contractor, the Contract Time
may be extended in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay if a Contract Claim is
made therefor. Delays beyond the control of Contractor shall include, but not be limited to, acts
or neglect by City, acts or neglect of utility owners or other contractors performing other work as

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

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

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

necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and City shall be
entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price.
D. Contractor shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time because of any delay in the
performance of the Work attributable to the exercise of City’s rights and remedies under this
Paragraph 13.09.

3. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work
but delivered and suitably stored at the Site or at another location agreed to in writing, the
Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice, or other
documentation warranting that City has received the materials and equipment free and clear
of all Liens and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate
insurance or other arrangements to protect City’s interest therein, all of which must be
satisfactory to City.
4. Beginning with the second Application for Payment, each Application shall include an
affidavit of Contractor stating that previous progress payments received on account of the
Work have been applied on account to discharge Contractor’s legitimate obligations
associated with prior Applications for Payment.

recommendation of payment or return the Application to Contractor indicating reasons for
refusing payment. In the latter case, Contractor may make the necessary corrections and

the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, a final
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:
a. inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been
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:
a. the Work is defective, or the completed Work has been damaged by the Contractor or his
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.
E. Payment: Contractor will be paid pursuant to the requirements of this Article 14 and payment
will become due in accordance with the Contract Documents.

A. If final completion of the Work is significantly delayed, and if City so confirms, City may, upon
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
under the Contract for anything done or furnished or relating to the work under the Contract
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
00 72 00 - 1
GENERAL CONDITIONS
Page 58 of 63

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.
2. Contractor’s disregard of Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction;
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
5. Contractor’s failure to promptly make good any defect in materials or workmanship, 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

furnishing labor, materials, or equipment as required by the Contract Documents in
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
to the Contractor by reason of the termination of the Work, the City shall determine, on the basis
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
on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other economic loss arising out of or

1. Where a single railroad company is involved, the Contractor shall provide one insurance policy in 24
the name of the railroad company. However, if more than one grade separation or at-grade 25
crossing is affected by the Project at entirely separate locations on the line or lines of the same 26
railroad company, separate coverage may be required, each in the amount stated above. 27
28
2. Where more than one railroad company is operating on the same right-of-way or where several 29
railroad companies are involved and operated on their own separate rights-of-way, the Contractor 30
may be required to provide separate insurance policies in the name of each railroad company. 31
32
3. If, in addition to a grade separation or an at-grade crossing, other work or activity is proposed on a 33
railroad company’s right-of-way at a location entirely separate from the grade separation or at-34
grade crossing, insurance coverage for this work must be included in the policy covering the grade 35
separation. 36
37
4. If no grade separation is involved but other work is proposed on a railroad company’s right-of-38
way, all such other work may be covered in a single policy for that railroad, even though the work 39
may be at two or more separate locations. 40
41
No work or activities on a railroad company’s property to be performed by the Contractor shall be 42
commenced until the Contractor has furnished the City with an original policy or policies of the insurance 43
for each railroad company named, as required above. All such insurance must be approved by the City and 44
each affected Railroad Company prior to the Contractor’s beginning work. 45
46

General: This item shall govern the control measures required to prevent and control soil erosion from the work
site.
Construction Requirements: The contractor shall be responsible for providing temporary erosion control during
the construction process according to the specifications and procedures outlined under NCTCOG Item 201. An
erosion control plan must be submitted by the contractor and approved by the project engineer prior to beginning
construction. The erosion control plan must specify the type and location of all erosion control devices and methods.
The contractor is free to use any of the erosion control options specified under NCTCOG Item 201 to control
erosion. Erosion control devices and methods must follow the specifications outlined under NCTCOG Item 201 and
the corresponding detail drawings in Division 1000. All erosion control devices must be maintained and inspected
through the construction process. All erosion control devices shall be inspected every 7 calendar days during
construction. In the event that silt or construction debris does escape the immediate construction areas, the
contractor shall be responsible for cleaning it up within 24 hours of the incident. This includes soil tracked out of
the construction areas by the contractor’s vehicles. If the project inspector sees that a certain erosion control method
or location is not working, he may direct the contractor to correct the erosion control devices accordingly.
Duration: All erosion control devices must remain in place until the disturbed soil in the work site is stabilized.
Stabilization may be obtained through one of the following options: Seeding of the work zone until 70% of the
disturbed area has vegetative coverage, sodding the disturbed area, placement of an erosion blanket over the
disturbed area, or the application of organic mulching material to cover the disturbed area. All erosion control
devices will require removal once approval is provided by Watershed Protection.
NCTCOG Reference: Item 201
Payment: Payment will be at the contract unit price per linear foot of pipe installation protected by temporary
erosion control measures. Removal of temporary erosion control measures is considered incidental.
