VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to the award of contracts
to non-resident bidders. This law provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder,
non-resident bidders (out-of-state contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of business
are outside of the State of Texas) bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies or services
in Texas at an amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas
resident bidder would be required to underbid a non-resident bidder in order to obtain a comparable
contract in the state in which the non-resident's principal place of business is located. The
appropriate blanks in Section A below must be filled out by all out-of-state or non-resident bidders
in order for your bid to meet specifications. The failure of out-of-state or non-resident contractors
to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the blank in Section
B.

A copy of the statute is attached.

WORKERS' COM PENS ENTATION REQUIREMENTS
Respondent's attention is directed to the insurance requirements below. It is highly recommended
that respondents confer with their respective insurance carriers or brokers to determine in
advance of Proposal/Bid submission the availability of insurance certificates and endorsements as
prescribed and provided herein. If an apparent low respondent fails to comply strictly with the
insurance requirements, that respondent may be disqualified from award of the contract. Upon
contract award, all insurance requirements shall become contractual obligations, which the
successful contractor shall have a duty to maintain throughout the course of this contract.
STANDARD PROVISIONS:

shall provide and maintain until the contracted work has been completed and accepted by
the City of Denton, Owner, the minimum insurance coverage as indicated hereinafter.
As soon as practicable after notification of contract award, Contractor shall file with the
Purchasing Department satisfactory certificates of insurance including any applicable
addendum or endorsements, containing the contract number and title of the project.
Contractor may, upon written request to the Purchasing Department, ask for clarification
of any insurance requirements at any time; however, Contractors are strongly advised to
make such requests prior to proposal/bid opening, since the insurance requirements may
not be modified or waived after proposalibid opening unless a written exception has been
submitted with the proposalibid. Contractor shall not commence any work or deliver any
material until he or she receives notification that the contract has been accepted,
approved, and signed by the City of Denton.

with these general specifications throughout the duration of the Contract, or longer, if so
noted:
Each policy shall be issued by a company authorized to do business in the State of
Texas with an A.M. Best Company rating of at least A or better.
• Any deductibles or self-insured retentions shall be declared in the proposal. If requested
by the City, the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions

shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim
administration and defense expenses.
• Liability policies shall be endorsed to provide the following:
■ Name as Additional Insured the City of Denton, its Officials, Agents, Employees

■ That such insurance is primary to any other insurance available to the Additional
Insured with respect to claims covered under the policy and that this insurance
CI -1
applies separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is
brought. The inclusion of more than one insured shall not operate to increase
the insurer's limit of liability.
• Cancellation: City requires 30 day written notice should any of the policies
described on the certificate be cancelled or materially changed before the
expiration date.
• Should any of the required insurance be provided under a claims made form, Contractor
shall maintain such coverage continuously throughout the term of this contract and,
without lapse, for a period of three years beyond the contract expiration, such that
occurrences arising during the contract term which give rise to claims made after
expiration of the contract shall be covered.
• Should any of the required insurance be provided under a form of coverage that includes a
general annual aggregate limit providing for claims investigation or legal defense costs to
be included in the general annual aggregate limit, the Contractor shall either double the
occurrence limits or obtain Owners and Contractors Protective Liability Insurance.
• Should any required insurance lapse during the contract term, requests for payments
originating after such lapse shall not be processed until the City receives satisfactory
evidence of reinstated coverage as required by this contract, effective as of the lapse date.

5. retain all required certificates of coverage on file for the duration of the project
and for one year thereafter;
CI - 6

agreements will be filed with the appropriate insurance carrier or, in the case of a self-
insured, with the commission's Division of Self -Insurance Regulation. Providing false
or misleading information may subject the contractor to administrative penalties,
criminal penalties, civil penalties, or other civil actions.

contract void if the contractor does not remedy the breach within ten days after
receipt of notice of breach from the governmental entity.

The Contractor shall have on file with the City of Denton, Texas, before execution of the contract a
good and sufficient performance bond with an approved surety in an amount equal to one -hundred
(100) percent of the total cost of this project, guaranteeing that the workmanship and materials
furnished under these specifications and used in all parts of said improvements are in all respects
first class and of such kind and quality that for a period of two (2) years from the completion and
final acceptance thereof by the said City of Denton, the improvements shall require no repairs, the
necessity for which shall be occasioned by defects in said workmanship or material. If, however,
during the said period, in the opinion of the Mayor and City Council, the said improvements or
associated structures and equipment shall require repairs and the necessity for such repairs, shall, in
their opinion, be occasioned by defective workmanship or materials furnished in the construction of
any part thereof or any of the accessories thereto, built by this Contractor, then such repairs, on due
notice being given at any time during said period, by the City, to the Contractor, shall promptly be
made by the Contractor in the following manner:
Upon notice from the City, served at any time during the period of said guarantee, the Contractor
shall at his own expense take out and remove all worn out, inferior or defective materials found in
the improvements as shown on the plans or any other part of the improvements or accessories
thereto, and good acceptable materials shall be substituted therefore, including any materials that
;email
have become injured, or have become damaged by reason of their being in close proximity to such
imperfect material or workmanship, the Contractor shall take up, repair and/or replace all
improvements as shown on plans, that have become defective if found to be so during the term of
said guarantee. Final determination will be made by the City Engineer.
Should the Contractor fail to make such repairs as are deemed necessary, written notice to make the
repairs shall be given by the City to the Contractor and the Surety. If said Contractor or Surety shall
fail or neglect for a period of ten (10) days to make such necessary repairs as herein provided, then
the City shall have the right with or without further notice, to proceed to make such repairs or cause
the same to be done either by contract or otherwise at its option and to pay for the cost of such
repairs. Emergency repairs to improvements may be required due to extreme weather, faulty
materials, or any other cause. When the public safety is jeopardized, the City of Denton may deem
the situation an emergency. At this time, the Contractor shall have 4 hours notification by
telephone to complete the repairs or the City may complete the work itself
If such cost of repairs so made shall not be paid by the said Contractor or Surety upon receipt of
Notice of the amount thereof, the said City shall have the right of action on the Performance Bond;
or in case the said repairs shall not actually be made by the City after such failure on the part of the
Contractor or Surety, the City shall have the right to ascertain and determine the costs of such
repairs and to maintain an action against the said Contractor or Surety, or both under said bond, to
recover the amount so determined in any court of competent jurisdiction, and the amount so
determined shall be conclusive upon the Contractor and Surety in any action upon said bond.
TIME ALLOTTED FOR COMPLETION
The number of days for this project is shown on the Bid Tabulation Sheets to be two hundred and
seventy (270) calendar days for substantial completion. Substantial completion is defined as all
new utility lines installed and operational. The project is to be complete in three hundred and thirty
(330) consecutive calendar days from start of construction for all manners of construction and
project documentation. The Contractor is permitted to work every weekday which is not a Federal,
State or Local holiday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Work requiring City inspection oversight must be
restricted to the hours between 8:00 am to 5:00 pm unless arrangements are made with the City
beforehand. The Contractor will not be allowed to work on Saturdays unless prior arrangements
are made with the City. The Contractor will not be allowed to prosecute the work on Sundays
without written permission by the City due to the noise ordinance. Exceptions to the noise
ordinance require approval by City Council and will require careful coordination and planning
between the Contractor and City.
A Work Order shall be submitted by the City to the Contractor prior to the beginning of
construction. The Work Order shall consist of a written request by the City Engineer for the
Contractor to proceed with the construction of the project. The Work Order shall specify the
starting and ending date of the project construction. The City may set the starting date of the
project construction at any date subsequent to the Work Order notification. The Work Order will
be issued upon receipt of the executed contract and surety bonds from the Contractor. The
Contractor will be required to execute the contract and furnish the surety bonds within 10 business
days of receipt of the approved City Contract per NCTCOG Item 103.5.
Failure to achieve final project completion within the allotted time shall make the Contractor liable
G-2
for liquidated damages at the daily rate specified per NCTCOG Item 108.8. The amount of
liquidated damages shall be for each calendar day over the original or extended project end date.
The City reserves the right to deduct monies due to the Contractor in the amount of the liquidated
damages incurred on the project as per terms of NCTCOG Item 108.8 at a minimum. Actual,
documented damages provided by the City which are greater than the minimum amounts shown
shall govern. Assessment of liquidated damages by the City shall not constitute a waiver of the
City's right to sue and collect additional damages which the City may sustain by the failure of the
Contractor to perform in accordance with the terms of its Contract.
The City will be the sole judge as to whether extensions of the Contract Time will be issued. The
Contractor must submit extensions for time in writing within fourteen (14) days of the alleged delay
per NCTCOG Item 108.8. Failure to do so will automatically render any claim for extension null
and void. Normal weather related delays (e.g. rain) will be considered sufficient grounds for
extension of time for projects defined by work days but not for projects defined by calendar days.
MANUFACTURER'S INFORMATION
The Contractor shall submit five (5) copies of information to the City from all manufacturers for
materials and equipment to be used on the project. This information shall include:

All submittals shall be stamped by the manufacturer indicating that the manufacturer has checked
the submittal for compliance with the specifications. Unstamped or certified submittals shall be
returned to the manufacturer unprocessed.

will not be allowed to proceed until all submittals have been approved or a written waiver is given
by the City.
BARRICADES, LIGHTS. DETOUR ROUTES AND SIGNS
The Contractor shall, at his own cost and expense, furnish and erect such barricades, fences,
flashers, signals, and signs, and shall provide such other precautionary measures for the protection
of persons and property as are necessary. Safety to the working forces and the general public shall
be of uppermost consideration in scheduling all construction activities.
For all locations where construction work affects road right-of-way, the Contractor shall submit a
traffic control plan to the City for approval prior to beginning construction. The traffic control plan
shall be prepared at no additional cost to the City and shall be prepared by an engineer licensed in
the State of Texas.
All signs and barricades shall be constructed and erected to conform to standards as established in
the latest edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. From sunset to sunrise, the
G-3
Contractor shall furnish and maintain at least one battery type flasher at each barricade and a
sufficient number of barricades shall be erected to keep vehicles or pedestrians from entering
hazardous work areas during construction.
The Contractor will be held responsible for all damages to the work due to failure of the barricades,
signs, lights, and watchmen required to protect the work area. The Contractor's responsibility for
the protection of the work shall not cease until the project has been accepted by the City.
If, in the opinion of the City Engineer or his duly authorized representative, the barricades and signs
installed by the Contractor do not properly protect the work area, the Contractor shall immediately
cease all other work activities and correct the deficiency in proper barricading.
The Contractor shall provide an ultimate effort toward safe and smooth flow of traffic during work
hours.
Flagmen shall have standard reflective vests and flags as minimum equipment. Flagmen shall also
be knowledgeable as to the correct procedures for flagging and shall be aware of traffic patterns and
traffic needs.
All broken, damaged, or ineffective barricades or signs shall be removed from the project and
replaced within two (2) hours after notification by the City Engineer or his designated
representative.
No work will be allowed to begin prior to proper placement of all barricades and signs.
The Contractor shall designate a person who will be in charge of all barricades and signs. This
person shall be knowledgeable of all current regulations of law regarding proper procedures for
barricading in construction areas.
All detours, closures, partial closures, or other construction activities that require a major
displacement of traffic shall require a one week advanced notice so that the City can communicate
this information to the public. A barricading meeting will be held by the City with the Contractor's
superintendent, the person in charge of the barricades, and the foreman in charge of the particular
construction to be done.
SUPPORT SYSTEMS INSPECTOR
All contractors involved in excavations as defined in the most current OSHA Occupational Safety
and Health Standards for excavations must submit a notarized affidavit prior to award of the bid
showing the name of the Support System Inspector. The affidavit must include a statement that the
named individual is a competent person as defined in the OSHA regulations related to excavations.
In order to be a "competent person," one must have had specific training in, and be knowledgeable
about soil analysis, the use of protective systems, and the OSHA regulations on excavations.
WATER FOR CONSTRUCTION
Water used for any uses including sprinkling, testing, and flushing of pipelines, or any other
purpose incidental to this project, will be the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor may
G-4
obtain the water from any source, including the City of Denton. In the event that the Contractor
obtains the water from the City, the Contractor shall make the necessary arrangements for securing
and transporting such water and shall take such water in such a manner and at such times that will

make arrangements with the City to provide the water required and the Contractor shall pay for the
water at the prevailing rate.

labor and expertise to erect and maintain adequate working stakes, batter boards, or laser equipment
for construction as the job progresses.
U. S. POSTAL MAILBOXES
The Contractor shall be fully responsible for maintaining and protecting all existing U.S. Postal
mailboxes during the construction period. Postal mail delivery must be maintained on a daily basis
to all postal delivery points within the project area. For projects that require a section of road to be
completely closed to traffic, the mailboxes shall be relocated to a nearby street corner where they
shall be placed for temporary delivery service. The Contractor shall relocate the boxes working in
cooperation with the Postal Director and the City. Following the completion of the work, the

MATERIAL SAMPLING AND TESTING
Unless otherwise stipulated in the contract documents, initial testing of all materials, construction
items or products incorporated in the work shall be performed at the direction of the City Engineer
and expense of the City, including initial compaction and density tests deemed necessary.
In the event materials, construction items or products incorporated in the work fail to satisfy the
minimum requirements of the initial test, appropriate proveout test shall be made as directed by the
City Engineer to determine the extent of the failure and to verify that the corrective measures have
brought the item up to specification requirements. The cost of all testing necessary to determine the
extent of the failure and the adequacy of the corrective measures shall be the responsibility of the
Contractor.
The failure of the City Engineer to direct or City to make any tests of materials shall in no way
relieve the Contractor of his responsibility of furnishing materials conforming to the contract
documents.
Tests, unless otherwise specified, shall be made in accordance with the latest methods of the
American Society for Testing and Materials. The Contractor shall provide such facilities as the
City Engineer or City may require for collecting and forwarding samples and shall not use the
materials represented by the samples until tests have been made. The Contractor shall furnish
adequate samples without charge.
The inspections and tests made by the City shall ordinarily be made without cost to the Contractor
unless otherwise expressly specified in the contract documents. The Contractor shall furnish
without additional cost to the City Engineer or City such materials for testing as may be reasonably
necessary. Retesting after failure to pass tests shall be at the expense of the Contractor. Should
the percentage of rejected material or equipment be unreasonably large, the additional cost of such
inspection and tests resulting therefrom shall be borne by the Contractor. The City Engineer shall
judge what is extra inspection and shall determine the additional cost incurred thereby and payable
by the Contractor.
SCOPE OF WORK CHANGES
Changes in the scope of work for the project shall be handled in accordance with the provisions
of Item 104 of the NCTCOG specifications.
WORKING AREA
The Contractor shall confine its equipment, storage of materials and construction operations to
the public right-of-way and easements shown on the plans or described in the specifications.
Storage of equipment and materials shall not restrict the public use of right-of-way or easements
unless specifically approved by the City. The Contractor shall not have exclusive right to the
working area, as it must accommodate other contractors or City forces which may utilize the
same area for other construction activities.
A
SEQUENCE OF WORK
Unless otherwise noted on the construction plans or in the Special Contract Requirements, all
gravity utility line work shall proceed from downstream to upstream. Pressurized utility line
work shall proceed in a manner that creates the least disruption to the existing utility network or
customers. Sidewalk and pavement construction shall proceed in a manner to minimize
disruption to public transportation or access. Exceptions to these guidelines may be granted by
the City Engineer upon written request with supporting reasons for the exception by the
Contractor.
RESTORATION OF PROPERTY
The Contractor is responsible for restoring public or private property damaged by its construction
activities to a condition as good as or better than the condition prior to construction. This provision
applies specifically, but not exclusively, to existing concrete or asphalt pavement, concrete
sidewalk, concrete curb and gutter, concrete drainage structures, utilities, fencing, structures, and
landscaping that are within the work zone but that are not required to be removed in order to install
the improvements called for on the plans. Cost for this restoration shall be borne solely by the
Contractor. Failure to restore the damaged property by the Contractor may be cause for the City to
restore the property on its own and then deduct the restoration cost from the monies owed the
Contractor per NCTCOG Item 107.26.
LETTERS OF RELEASE
A Letter of Release from each property owner affected by the project is required prior to acceptance
of any public improvement, particularly when the Contractor has performed work outside of City
right-of-way or public easements. The letter should state that the owner finds the restoration of the
property acceptable. The Contractor will be held responsible for restoring disturbed property to a
condition at least equal to the condition that existed prior to construction. The Contractor will not
be held responsible for repairing prior damage or for excessive or unreasonable requests of the
property owner. Whether a property owner's request is reasonable or not will be determined by the
City Engineer.
PARTIAL PAYMENTS
Partial payments will be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of an undisputed invoice and
acceptance of work performed. Only complete and in place items will be paid for and no payment
will be made for materials on hand (disregard that line item on the invoice submittal form). A five
percent (50/o) retainage will be held by the City, calculated using the total work complete to date of
the partial payment. Workday or calendar day counts for each month should be agreed on before
being submitted on the partial estimate. Counts will be considered final when processed for
payment.
OVERTIME CHARGES FOR CONSTRUCTION INSPECTORS
If any person or Contractor doing street, utility or sidewalk construction, excavation, alteration or
repair requests and receives necessary inspection by City personnel for such work outside of normal
business hours (8:00 o'clock A.M. to 5:00 o'clock P.M. weekdays and non -holidays) such person or
G-7
contractor shall be charged and pay one hundred and thirty-five dollars ($135.00) per hour

in advance for overtime to be performed on week days and 48 hours in advance for overtime to be
performed on weekends or holidays. The City may withhold payment to the Contractor for non-
payment of overtime charges.
FINAL PAYMENT
The City shall within 60 days of presentation of an approved final application for payment, pay the
Contractor the amount approved by the City Engineer.
Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the
Contractor submits to the City:
(1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness
connected with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner's property might be
responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by Owner) have been paid or
otherwise satisfied;

remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will not be cancelled or
allowed to expire until at least thirty (30) days prior written notice has been given
to the Owner;
(3) a written statement that the Contractor knows of no substantial reason that the
insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Contract
Documents;
(4) a consent of surety to final payment; and
(5) if required by the Owner, other data establishing payment or satisfaction of
obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests
or encumbrances arising out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form as may

EXHIBIT B
TO
CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT
Section 1. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK - FLAGGING.
A. Contractor agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least ten (10) working days in
advance of Contractor commencing its work and at least ten (10) working days in advance of proposed
performance of any work by Contractor in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five (25)
feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not
limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track. No work of any kind
shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall
be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any
time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of
such ten (10) -day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Contractor whether a
flagman need be present and whether Contractor needs to implement any special protective or safety
measures. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Railroad
will bill Contractor for such expenses incurred by Railroad, unless Railroad and a federal, state or local
governmental entity have agreed that Railroad is to bill such expenses to the federal, state or local
governmental entity. If Railroad will be sending the bills to Contractor, Contractor shall pay such bills
within thirty (30) days of Contractor's receipt of billing. if Railroad performs any flagging, or other
special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Contractor agrees that Contractor is not
relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
B. The rate of pay per hour for each flagman will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for
an eight-hour day for the class of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in
accordance with Labor Agreements and Schedules in effect at the time the work is performed. In addition
to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental
sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental pension, Employees
Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be included, computed on actual payroll. The
composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at the time the work is performed.
One and one-half times the current hourly rate is paid for overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and
one-half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or
by agreement between Railroad and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a
ruling of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If
the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Contractor (or the governmental entity, as applicable)
shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges.
C. Reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during
which any flagman is furnished, unless the flagman can be assigned to other Railroad work during a
portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during
which the flagman is engaged in other Railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day
not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which
Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by
assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Contractor may not be working during such time.
When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in
compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Contractor must provide Railroad a minimum of
five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is
not given, Contractor will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period
required by union agreement to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that
period. An additional ten (10) days notice must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed
again after such five day cessation notice has been given to Railroad.
Section Z. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED
A. The foregoing grant of right is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right
and obligation of the Railroad to use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of
Railroad to construct, maintain, repair, renew, use, operate, change, modify or relocate railroad tracks,
roadways, signal, communication, fiber optics, or other wirelines, pipelines and other facilities upon,
along or across any or all parts of its property, all or any of which may be freely done at any time or times
by Railroad without liability to Contractor or to any other party for compensation or damages.
B. The foregoing grant is also subject to all outstanding superior rights (including those in
favor of licensees and lessees of Railroad's property, and others) and the right of Railroad to renew and
extend the same, and is made without covenant of title or for quiet enjoyment.
Section 3. NO INTERFERENCE WITH OPERATIONS OF RAILROAD AND ITS
TENANTS.
A. Contractor shall conduct its operations so as not to interfere with the continuous and
uninterrupted use and operation of the railroad tracks and property of Railroad, including without
limitation, the operations of Railroad's lessees, licensees or others, unless specifically authorized in
advance by the Railroad Representative. Nothing shall be done or permitted to be done by Contractor at
any time that would in any manner impair the safety of such operations. When not in use, Contractor's
machinery and materials shall be kept at least fifty (50) feet from the centerline of Railroad's nearest
track, and there shall be no vehicular crossings of Railroads tracks except at existing open public
crossings.

as to avoid interference with railroad operations. The safe operation of Railroad train movements and
other activities by Railroad takes precedence over any work to be performed by Contractor.

performed by Contractor. Contractor shall not create, permit or suffer any mechanic's or materialmen's
liens of any kind or nature to be created or enforced against any property of Railroad for any such work
performed. Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless Railroad from and against any and all liens,
claims, demands, costs or expenses of whatsoever nature in any way connected with or growing out of

expense.
Section 5. PROTECTION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS.

business hours (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday, except holidays) at
1-800-336-9193 (also a 24-hour, 7 -day number for emergency calls) to determine if fiber optic cable is
buried anywhere on Railroad's property to be used by Contractor. If it is, Contractor will telephone the
telecommunications company(ies) involved, make arrangements for a cable locator and, if applicable, for
relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable. Contractor shall not commence any work until all
such protection or relocation (if applicable) has been accomplished.
B. In addition to other indemnity provisions in this Agreement, Contractor shall indemnify,
defend and hold Railroad harmless from and against all costs, liability and expense whatsoever
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, court costs and expenses) arising out of any act or omission
of Contractor, its agents and/or employees, that causes or contributes to (1) any damage to or destruction
of any telecommunications system on Railroad's property, and/or (2) any injury to or death of any person
employed by or on behalf of any telecommunications company, and/or its contractor, agents and/or
employees, on Railroad's property. Contractor shall not have or seek recourse against Railroad for any
claim or cause of action for alleged loss of profits or revenue or loss of service or other consequential
damage to a telecommunication company using Railroad's property or a customer or user of services of
the fiber optic cable on Railroad's property.
Section 6. PERMITS - COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

necessary permits and shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and
enactments affecting the work including, without limitation, all applicable Federal Railroad
Administration regulations.

in the prosecution of the work performed by Contractor. Contractor shall be responsible for initiating,
maintaining and supervising all safety, operations and programs in connection with the work. Contractor
shall at a minimum comply with Railroad's safety standards listed in Exhibit D, hereto attached, to ensure
uniformity with the safety standards followed by Railroad's own forces. As a part of Contractor's safety
responsibilities, Contractor shall notify Railroad if Contractor determines that any of Railroad's safety
standards are contrary to good safety practices. Contractor shall furnish copies of Exhibit D to each of its
employees before they enter the job site.
B. Without limitation of the provisions of paragraph A above, Contractor shall keep the job
site free from safety and health hazards and ensure that its employees are competent and adequately

alcoholic beverage, drug or other substance that may inhibit the safe performance of any work.
D. If and when requested by Railroad, Contractor shall deliver to Railroad a copy of
Contractor's safety plan for conducting the work (the "Safety Plan"). Railroad shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to require Contractor to correct any deficiencies in the Safety Plan. The terms of this
Agreement shall control if there are any inconsistencies between this Agreement and the Safety Plan.

hold harmless Railroad, its affiliates, and its and their officers, agents and employees ("Indemnified
Parties") from and against any and all loss, damage, injury, liability, claim, demand, cost or expense
(including, without limitation, attorney's, consultant's and expert's fees, and court costs), fine or penalty
(collectively, "Loss") incurred by any person (including, without limitation, any Indemnified Party,
Contractor, or any employee of Contractor or of any Indemnified Party) arising out of or in any manner
connected with (i) any work performed by Contractor, or (ii) any act or omission of Contractor, its
officers, agents or employees, or (iii) any breach of this agreement by Contractor.
B. The right to indemnity under this Section 8 shall accrue upon occurrence of the event
giving rise to the Loss, and shall apply regardless of any negligence or strict liability of any Indemnified
Party, except where the Loss is caused by the sole active negligence of an Indemnified Party as
established by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The sole active negligence of any
Indemnified Party shall not bar the recovery of any other Indemnified Party.
C. Contractor expressly and specifically assumes potential liability under this Section 8 for
claims or actions brought by Contractor's own employees. Contractor waives any immunity it may have
under worker's compensation or industrial insurance acts to indemnify Railroad under this Section 8.
Contractor acknowledges that this waiver was mutually negotiated by the parties hereto.
D. No court or jury findings in any employee's suit pursuant to any worker's compensation
act or the Federal Employers' Liability Act against a party to this Agreement may be relied upon or used
by Contractor in any attempt to assert liability against Railroad.
E. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the completion of any work performed by
Contractor or the termination or expiration of this Agreement. In no event shall this Section 8 or any
other provision of this Agreement be deemed to limit any liability Contractor may have to any
Indemnified Party by statute or under common law.
Section 9. RESTORATION OF PROPERTY.
In the event Railroad authorizes Contractor to take down any fence of Railroad or in any manner
move or disturb any of the other property of Railroad in connection with the work to be performed by
Contractor, then in that event Contractor shall, as soon as possible and at Contractor's sole expense,
restore such fence and other property to the same condition as the same were in before such fence was
taken down or such other property was moved or disturbed. Contractor shall remove all of Contractor's
tools, equipment, rubbish and other materials from Railroad's property promptly upon completion of the
work, restoring Railroad's property to the same state and condition as when Contractor entered thereon.
Section 10. WAIVER OF DEFAULT.
Waiver by Railroad of any breach or default of any condition, covenant or agreement herein
contained to be kept, observed and performed by Contractor shall in no way impair the right of Railroad
to avail itself of any remedy for any subsequent breach or default.
Section 11. MODIFICATION - ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
No modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by
Contractor and Railroad. This Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto and made a part hereof
constitute the entire understanding between Contractor and Railroad and cancel and supersede any prior
negotiations, understandings or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the work to be
performed by Contractor.
Section 12. ASSIGNMENT - SUBCONTRACTING.
Contractor shall not assign or subcontract this Agreement, or any interest therein, without the
written consent of the Railroad. Contractor shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of all
subcontractors, and shall require all subcontractors to maintain the insurance coverage required to be
maintained by Contractor as provided in this Agreement, and to indemnify Contractor and Railroad to the
same extent as Railroad is indemnified by Contractor under this Agreement.

Exhibit E.
GUIDELINES FOR ABANDONMENT & REMOVAL
OF SUBSURFACE STRUCTURES
ON UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY
For pipelines, tunnels and other similar structures that are scheduled for abandonment or removal on the
Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way, the following guidelines apply.
Abandonment Procedures
A. Hazardous material testing & notification
Prior to either removal or abandon in-place of existing Facilities, testing for ACM,
PACM, LBP and PCBs shall be completed and the results reported to the Railroad.
i. ACM or PACM- Asbestos Containing Materials or Presumed Asbestos
Containing Materials
ii. LBP - Lead Based Paint
iii. PCBs - PolyChlorinated Biphenyls
The Railroad may require removal or consider abandon in-place of the existing Facilities
upon review of the testing results.
B. Removal
1. At the time of abandonment, Facilities within Zone B shall be removed at the cost of the
owner. See Figure 2-1 for Zone identification.
2. The following additional Zone requirements apply.
i. Zone A -Designed shoring systems are required per Section 3. Track &
ground monitoring is required per Section 2.
ii. Zone B - Sloped or stepped excavations are acceptable.
C. Abandon in-place
1. The Facility shall be filled with CLSM (Controlled Low -Strength Material). This process
is designed to help avoid future subsidence as the line deteriorates after abandonment.
The use of low strength CLSM also allows the future removal of CLSM at a later date if
deemed necessary.
2. CLSM Design
i. The CLSM material shall have an unconfined compressive strength 300psi. This
provides strength while allowing future removal if necessary.
ii. The mixture shall consist of water, Portland cement, fly ash, and sound fine or
coarse aggregate or both.
iii. The mix design shall allow adequate flowability without segregation of
aggregates.
iv. Hardening time is of prime importance and CLSM should develop 50psi in
about one hour.
v. The maximum layer of thicknessfor CLSM shall be 3 feel.
vi. Additional layers shall not be placed until the CLSM has lost sufficient moisture.
vii. For pipelines or structures with a depth greater than 3 feet, CLSM shall be
placed in lifts.
viii. Contractor should verb no voids will be present after filling the structure.
IX . Access to fill pipelines shall be from off the UPRR right -of --way if possible. lj
excavation is required for the fill procedure, excavations shall meet
requirements in Section 3.
2. Track and Ground Monitorine
A. General track and ground monitoring requirements
1. General requirement
i. Temporary lighting may also be required by the Railroad to idents tripping
hazards to train crewmen and other Railroad personnel.
ii. Any excavation, holes or trenches on the Railroad property shall be covered,
guarded and/or protected. Handrails, fence, or other barrier methods must meet
OSHA and FRA requirements.
2. Track and ground monitoring are required as follows:
i. For crossings with pipe diameter and depth (below base of rail) as shown below
in Table 2-1.
ii. For shoring within Zone A of any track, as shown below in Figure 2-1.
iii. Additional monitoring may be required by the Railroad on a case by case basis.
3. Monitoring schedule
i. Monitoring shall commence once any construction activity is within Zone A. See
Hgure 2-1.
ii. Monitoring shall continue, after installation is complete, for 7 days or as
required by the Railroad.
• For large and/or shallow pipeline installations monitoring may be
required for up to 30 days.

B. Track Monitoring
1. Track Deflection Limits
The top of rail shall not permanently deflect more than 114 inch vertical or
horizontal.
2. Targets
i. Track monitoring shall not require track access other than to place the track
monitoring targets.
ii. Monitoring targets should be placed such that monitoring is possible when a
train is present. However, monitoring during the passing of a train is not
required as the train will temporarily deflect the track.
iii. Adhesive backed reflective targets may be attached to the side of the rail
temporarily. Targets should be removed once monitoring phase is complete.
Monitoring Plan
i. /f the top of rail does deflect more than 1/4 inch, all operations shall stop until
the matter is resolved.
ii. Provide established contingency plan, See Section 2.D, in the event ofground
loss and/or the rail deviates '/, inch vertical or horizontal.
iii. Establish a bench mark in the vicinity of the construction. Establish locations
for shooting elevations on the top of rail at each area of construction.
a. Example locations for shooting rail elevations would be at:
- At the centerline of an under track crossing.
- At both outside edges of the crossing. ie. For a wide excavation.
- At multiple locations from the crossing/excavation edge but no less
than 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 feet from the crossing.
iv. Monitoring shall be continuous and recorded in afield log book dedicated for
this purpose. Copies of these field log entries can be made available to all
concerned parties upon request at any time during construction.
C. Ground Monitoring
1. Provide means for monitoring ground settlement. Submit monitoring plan for Railroad
review.
2. Ground monitoring points should be in alignment above the proposed construction
activities.
D. Contingency Plans
I . The Contractor shall supply Contingency Plan(s), which anticipate reaching the
Threshold and Shutdown values, for all construction activities which may result in
horizontal and/or vertical track deflection.
i. Track monitoring values:
a. Threshold value = 1/8 inch permanent vertical or horizontal deflection
b. Shutdown value = 1/4 inch permanent vertical or horizontal deflection
2. The Contingency Plans shall provide means and methods, with options if necessary.
3. The Contractor should anticipate the need to implement each Contingency Plan with
required materials, equipment and personnel.
i. Once the Threshold value is met, the contractor shall determine the appropriate
Contingency Plan(s) and immediately discuss this plan with, and receive
approval confirmation from, the Railroad.
ii. Once the Shutdown value is exceeded all project work shall stop and the chosen
Contingency Plan .shall commence.
r
a. The Railroad may choose to allow and/or require the immediate
implementation of specific approved Contingency Plans, submitted by the
Contractor, once the Shutdown value is exceeded.
3. Excavation Requirements
