SECTION 00 43 371
VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW NON- RESIDENT BIDDER2
3
Texas Government Code Chapter 2252 was adopted for the award of contracts to nonresident4
bidders. This law provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, nonresident5
bidders (out-of-state contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of business are outside6
the State of Texas) bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies or services in Texas at7
an amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas resident8
bidder would be required to underbid a nonresident bidder in order to obtain a comparable9
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 your11
bid to meet specifications. The failure of nonresident bidders to do so will automatically12
disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in Section B.13
A.Nonresident bidders in the State of ______________________, our principal place of14
business, are required to be ________________ percent lower than resident bidders by State15
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 is19
in the State of Texas.20

Contract. Contractor default shall not be declared earlier than 20 days after the Contractor
and Surety have received notice of the 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.

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

money due Contractor by City will not release Contractor from liability.

Removal of man-made obstructions not shown on the plans will be paid for in accordance with Article 9.7., “Payment for Extra Work and Force Account Method.” Adjust the bottom of the shaft or alter the foundation if satisfactory founding material is not encountered at plan elevation, as approved, to satisfactorily comply with design requirements. Blasting is not allowed for excavations.
Stop drilling if caving conditions are encountered and adopt a construction method that stabilizes the shaft walls.
Do not excavate a shaft within two shaft diameters (clear) of an open shaft excavation, or one in which concrete has been placed in the preceding 24 hr.
Dispose of material excavated from shafts and not incorporated into the finished project as shown on the plans and in conformance with federal, state, and local laws.
Provide suitable access, lighting, and equipment for proper inspection of the completed excavation and checking of the dimensions and alignment of shaft excavation.
3.2. Core Holes. Take cores to determine the character of the supporting materials if directed. Use a method that will result in recovery of an intact sample adequate for judging the character of the founding material. Such cores should be at least 5 ft. deeper than the proposed founding grade or a depth equal to the diameter of the shaft, whichever is greater. Take these cores when the excavation is complete.
3.3. Casing. Use casing when necessary to prevent caving of the material, excluding groundwater, when slurry is used for hole stabilization, or when required in conformance with the Contractor’s safety plan. Provide casing with an outside diameter not less than the specified diameter of the shaft. The portion of shaft below the casing may be as much as 2 in. smaller than the specified shaft diameter. No extra compensation will be made for concrete required to fill an oversized casing or oversized excavation. Use casing strong enough to withstand handling stresses and pressures of concrete and of the surrounding earth or water, and that is watertight, smooth, clean, and free of accumulations of hardened concrete.
Use construction methods that result in a minimal amount of disturbed soil trapped outside the casing. This does not apply to temporary undersized casings used to protect workers inside shafts or to drilled shafts designed for point bearing only.
Leave casing in place only if authorized or shown on the plans. Extract casing only after placing the concrete to an appropriate level. Always maintain enough concrete in the casing to counteract soil and water pressure. Rotate or move the casing up or down a few inches if necessary before and during concrete placement to facilitate extraction of the casing.
3.4. Requirements for Slurry Displacement Method. When soil conditions warrant, use the slurry displacement method to construct drilled shafts, unless otherwise shown on the plans. Use this method to support the sides of the excavation with processed mineral slurry that is then displaced by concrete to form a continuous concrete shaft.
Install surface casing to at least 10 ft. below existing ground before introducing slurry. Do not use casing other than surface casing. Do not use surface casing longer than 20 ft. without approval. Do not extract the surface casing until after placing the concrete.
2024 Specifications 416

Pre-mix slurry in a reservoir with enough capacity to fill the excavation and for recovery of the slurry during concrete placement. Do not mix slurry in the shaft excavation or other hole. Allow adequate time for hydration of the slurry before introduction into the excavation.
Maintain a head of slurry in the shaft excavation at or near ground level or higher, as necessary, to counteract groundwater pressure during and after drilling.
Use an air lift or proper size cleanout bucket, just before placing reinforcing steel, to remove any material that may have fallen from the sides of the excavation or accumulated on the bottom after the completion of drilling. Use a cleanout bucket if material is too large to be picked up using an air lift.
Re-process the hole using the auger as directed if concrete placement is not started within 4 hr. of the completion of the shaft excavation. Then clean the bottom using an air lift or cleanout bucket and check the slurry at the bottom of the hole for compliance with slurry requirements in accordance with Article 416.2., “Materials.”
Agitate the congealed slurry to liquefaction if the slurry forms a gel before concrete placement, and whenever directed.
Recover and dispose of all slurry as approved, and in conformance with all federal, state, and local laws. Do not discharge slurry into or in close proximity to streams or other bodies of water.
3.5. Reinforcing Steel. Completely assemble the cage of reinforcing steel and place it as a unit immediately before concrete placement. The cage consists of longitudinal bars and lateral reinforcement (spiral reinforcement, lateral ties, or horizontal bands). Connect individual segments with couplers or by lapping steel as approved if overhead obstacles prevent placement of the cage as a single unit.
Extend the reinforcing steel cage as follows if the shaft is lengthened beyond plan length, unless directed otherwise.
Extend the cage to the bottom for shafts supporting structures other than bridges.
Extend the cage to 25 ft. or to the bottom, whichever is shorter, for bridge shafts with plan lengths less
than 25 ft.
Do not extend the cage for bridge shafts with plan lengths at least 25 ft. that are lengthened less than
33% of plan length.
Extend the cage as directed for bridge shafts with plan lengths at least 25 ft. that are lengthened more
than 33% of plan length.
If the cage does not reach the bottom of the shaft, it may be suspended, or a portion of the longitudinal steel may be extended to support the cage on the bottom of the shaft. Bars used to extend or support the cage may be lap spliced or welded by a qualified welder. Place the extension at the bottom of the shaft.
Tie spiral reinforcement to the longitudinal bars at a spacing no more than 24 in., or as required for a stable cage. Ensure lateral reinforcement is not welded to longitudinal bars unless otherwise shown on the plans.
Center the reinforcing steel cage in the excavation using approved “roller”-type centering devices unless otherwise approved. Use concrete or plastic chairs to keep the reinforcing cage off the bottom of the hole. Use centering devices starting at 1.5 ft. off from the bottom of the cage and spaced vertically at intervals not exceeding 10 ft. Use at least three centering devices per level at a spacing not to exceed 30 in. Flat or crescent-shaped centralizers (“sleds”) are not allowed.
Support or hold down the cage to control vertical displacement during concrete placement or extraction of the casing. Use support that is concentric with the cage to prevent racking and distortion of the steel.
Check the elevation of the top of the steel cage before and after concrete placement or after casing extraction when casing is used. Downward movement of the steel up to 6 in. per 20 ft. of shaft length and upward movement of the steel up to 6 in. total are acceptable.
2024 Specifications 416

Maintain the minimum length of steel required for lap with column steel. Use dowel bars if the proper lap length is provided both into the shaft and into the column. Locate and tie all dowel bars into the cage before placing concrete.
Locate and tie anchor bolts when required before placement of concrete. Use templates or other devices to assure accurate placement of anchor bolts.
3.6. Concrete. Perform all work in accordance with Item 420, “Concrete Substructures.” Provide concrete with maximum placement temperatures as shown in Table 4. Provide thermal analysis to show, and temperature-recording devices to verify, maximum concrete core temperature requirements are met in accordance with Section 420.4.7.14, “Mass Placements,” for shafts with diameter exceeding 7 ft. Instrument the first shaft for each size shaft exceeding 7 ft. diameter, and as directed if results do not meet specifications and when the concrete mix design changes.
Table 4 Max Concrete Placing Temperature Shaft Size Mix Design Options 1–5 Mix Design Options 6–8 Diameter <5 ft. 95°F 95°F 5 ft. ≤ diameter ≤ 7 ft. 95°F 85°F 7 ft. < diameter 85°F 75°F
Form portions of drilled shaft that project above natural ground.
Remove loose material and accumulated seep water from the bottom of the excavation before placing concrete. No more than 3 in. of water should be present within the base of the excavation at the time of concrete placement. The rate of inflow should be confirmed by observation to be less than 12 in. per hour. Place concrete using underwater placement methods if seepage exceeds the tolerable levels cited above.
Place concrete as soon as possible after all excavation is complete and reinforcing steel is placed. Provide workable concrete that does not require vibrating or rodding. Vibrate formed portions of drilled shafts.
Place concrete continuously for the entire length of the shaft. Limit free fall of concrete to 25 ft. for dry shafts of 24-in. or smaller diameter. Use a suitable tube or tremie to prevent segregation of materials. Use a tube or tremie in sections to provide proper discharge and permit raising as the placement progresses. For dry shafts more than 24-in. diameter, concrete may be allowed to free fall an unlimited distance if it does not strike the reinforcing cage or sides of the hole during placement. Provide a hopper with a minimum 3-ft. long drop-tube at the top of the shaft to direct concrete vertically down the center of the shaft when free fall is used. Do not use a shovel or other means to simply deflect the concrete discharge from the truck.
Always maintain enough head of concrete for cased shafts above the bottom of the casing to overcome hydrostatic pressure. Extract casing at a slow, uniform rate with the pull in line with the axis of the shaft. Monitor the concrete level in the casing during extraction. Stop the extraction and add concrete to the casing as required to ensure a completely full hole upon casing removal. The elapsed time from the mixing of the first concrete placed into the cased portion of the shaft until the completion of extraction of the casing must not exceed the time for which the concrete maintains a slump of more than 4 in. in accordance with Article 416.2., “Materials.” Modify the concrete mix, the construction procedures, or both for subsequent shafts if the elapsed time is exceeded.
Cure the top surface and treat any construction joint area in accordance with Item 420.
3.7. Additional Requirements for Slurry Displacement or Underwater Concrete Placement Methods. Place concrete on the same day the shaft is excavated and as soon as possible after all excavation is complete and reinforcing steel is placed. Rework the hole by overdrilling a minimum 1/2 in. on all sides on the same day that concrete is placed when drilling of a hole is performed on multiple days if approved. Use an air lift or cleanout bucket of the proper size to clean the bottom of the excavation before placing the reinforcing steel cage and concrete. Place concrete through a closed tremie or pump it to the bottom of the excavation. The minimum tremie diameter will be at least six times the maximum size of aggregate used in the concrete mix,
2024 Specifications 416

but not less than 10 in. Initially seal the tremie or pump line to positively separate the concrete from the slurry or water. Place concrete continuously from the beginning of placement until the shaft is completed. Always keep the tremie full of concrete and well submerged in the previously placed concrete if using a tremie. Raise the tremie as necessary to maintain the free flow of concrete and the stability of any casing used. Always keep the discharge tube submerged in the previously placed concrete if using a pump. Place additional concrete to ensure the removal of any contaminated concrete at the top of the shaft. Allow the top portion of concrete to flush completely from the hole at the completion of the pour until there is no evidence of slurry or water contamination. Do not attempt to remove this concrete using shovels, pumps, or other means. Level the top of shaft with hand tools as necessary.
Use a sump or other approved method to channel displaced fluid and concrete away from the shaft excavation. Recover slurry and dispose of it as approved. Do not discharge displaced fluids into or near streams or other bodies of water. Provide a collar or other means of capturing slurry and the top portion of concrete flushed from the shaft for pours over water.
Remove the tube, reseal it at the bottom, penetrate with the tube into the concrete already placed by at least 5 ft., and recharge it before continuing if concrete placement is interrupted due to withdrawal of the submerged end of the tremie or pump discharge tube before completion. If this condition exists, notify the Engineer and note the elevation and circumstances related to the loss of seal on the drilled shaft log.
The elapsed time from the mixing of the first concrete placed until the completion of concrete placement, including extraction of the casing, must not exceed the time for which the concrete maintains a slump of more than 4 in. in accordance with Article 416.2., “Materials.” Modify the concrete mix, the construction procedures, or both for subsequent shafts if the elapsed time is exceeded.
3.8. Test Load. Load test shafts, if required, in accordance with Item 405, “Foundation Load Test.”
3.9. Trial Shaft. When required on the plans, construct trial shafts to the depth and diameter shown on the plans. Trial shafts include drilling the hole, placement of the rebar cage (unless otherwise stated), and placement of the concrete. When trial shafts are required, delay start of production shafts until successful completion of trial shafts.

4.2.1. Commencement. Implement the SWP3 as shown on the plans and as directed. Contractor-proposed recommendations for changes will be allowed as approved. Conform to the established guidelines in the TPDES CGP TXR150000 to make changes. Do not implement changes until approval has been received and changes have been incorporated into the plans. Minor adjustments to meet field conditions are allowed and will be recorded in the SWP3.
4.2.2. Phasing. Implement control measures before the commencement of activities that result in soil disturbance. Phase and minimize the soil disturbance to the areas shown on the plans. Coordinate temporary control measures with permanent control measures and all other work activities on the project to assure economical, effective, safe, and continuous water pollution prevention. Provide control measures that are appropriate to the construction means, methods, and sequencing allowed by the Contract. Exercise precaution throughout the life of the project to prevent pollution of ground waters and surface waters. Schedule and perform clearing and grubbing operations so that stabilization measures will follow immediately thereafter if project conditions permit. Bring all grading sections to final grade as soon as possible and implement temporary and permanent control measures at the earliest time possible. Implement temporary control measures when required by TPDES CGP TXR150000 or otherwise necessitated by project conditions.
Do not prolong final grading and shaping. Preserve vegetation where possible throughout the project, and minimize clearing, grubbing, and excavation within stream banks, bed, and approach sections.
4.3. General.
4.3.1. Temporary Alterations or Control Measure Removal. Altering or removal of control measures is allowed when control measures are restored within the same working day.
2024 Specifications 506
5
4.3.2. Stabilization. Initiate stabilization for disturbed areas no more than 14 days after the construction activities in that portion of the site have temporarily or permanently ceased. Establish a uniform vegetative cover or use another stabilization practice in accordance with TPDES CGP TXR150000.
4.3.3. Finished Work. Remove and dispose of all temporary control measures upon acceptance of vegetative cover or other stabilization practice unless otherwise directed. Complete soil disturbing activities and establish a uniform perennial vegetative cover. A project will not be considered for acceptance until a vegetative cover of 70% density of existing adjacent undisturbed areas is obtained or equivalent permanent stabilization is obtained in accordance with TPDES CGP TXR150000. The Engineer may accept the work before vegetative cover of 70% density of existing adjacent undisturbed areas. An exception will be allowed in arid areas as defined in TPDES CGP TXR150000.
4.3.4. Restricted Activities and Required Precautions. Do not discharge onto the ground or into surface waters any pollutants such as chemicals, raw sewage, fuels, lubricants, coolants, hydraulic fluids, bitumens, or any other petroleum product. Operate and maintain equipment onsite to prevent actual or potential water pollution. Manage, control, and dispose of litter onsite such that no adverse impacts to water quality occur. Prevent dust from creating a potential or actual unsafe condition, public nuisance, or condition endangering the value, utility, or appearance of any property. Wash out concrete trucks only as described in TPDES CGP TXR150000. Use appropriate controls to minimize the offsite transport of suspended sediments and other pollutants if it is necessary to pump or channel standing water (i.e., dewatering). Immediately address chemical and hydrocarbon spills caused by the Contractor. Keep a spill kit onsite. Prevent discharges that would contribute to a violation of Edwards Aquifer Rules, water quality standards, the impairment of a listed water body, or other state or federal law.
4.4. Installation, Maintenance, and Removal Work. Perform work in accordance with the SWP3, in conformance with manufacturers’ guidelines, and in accordance with TPDES CGP TXR150000. Install and maintain the integrity of temporary erosion and sedimentation control devices to accumulate silt and debris until soil disturbing activities are completed and permanent erosion control features are in place, or the disturbed area has been adequately stabilized as approved.
The Department will inspect and document the condition of the control measures at the frequency shown on the plans and will provide the Construction SWP3 Field Inspection and Maintenance Reports to the Contractor. Make corrections as soon as possible before the next anticipated rain event or within 7 calendar days after being able to enter the worksite for each control measure. The only acceptable reason for not accomplishing the corrections within the timeframe specified is when site conditions are considered “too wet to work.” Take immediate action if a correction is deemed critical as directed. When corrections are not made within the established timeframe, all work will cease on the project and time charges will continue while the control measures are brought into compliance. Commence work once the Engineer reviews and documents the project is in compliance. Commencing work does not release the Contractor of the liability for noncompliance with the SWP3, the plans, or TPDES CGP TXR150000.
The Engineer may limit the disturbed area if the Contractor cannot control soil erosion and sedimentation resulting from the Contractor’s operations. Implement additional controls as directed.
Remove devices upon approval or as directed. Finish-grade and dress the area upon removal. Stabilize disturbed areas in accordance with TPDES CGP TXR150000, and as shown on the plans or directed.
