This prohibition does not apply when the interest is represented by ownership of stock in a corporation involved, provided such stock ownership mounts to less than one percent (1%) of the corporation stock.

The Contractor represents that no employee or officer of the City has an interest in the Contractor. 2-7 Standard Specifications Supplementary Conditions ITEM 1.58 - STATE AND LOCAL SALES AND USE TAXF_S SC-1.58 Delete Item 1.58 and substitute the following in lieu thereof: 1.58 Recent legislation has removed the sales tax exemption previously provided by Section 151.311 of the Tax Code covering tangible personal property purchased by a contractor for use in the performance of a contract for the improvement of City-owned realty. It is still possible, however, for a contractor to make tax-free purchase of tangible personal property which will be incorporated into and become part of a City construction project through the use of a "separated contract" with the City. A "separated contract" is one which separates cliarges for materials from charges for labor. Under such a contract, the contractor becomes a "seller" of those materials which are incorporated into the project, such as bricks, lumber, concrete, paint, etc. The contractor issues a resale certificate in lieu of paying the sales tax at the time such items are purchased. The contractor then receives an exemption certificate from the city for those materials. (This procedure may not be used, however, for materials which do not become a part of the finished product. For example, equipment rentals, form materials, etc. are not considered as becoming "incorporated" into the project). Utilization of this "separated contract" approach eliminates the need for bidders to figure in sales tax for materials which are to be incorporated into the project. The successful bidder's bid form will be used to develop the "separated contract" and will determine the extent of the tax exemption.

INSTALLATION OF CABLE General The cables shall be installed in the conduit. The conduit must be continuous, reasonably dry, completely free of debris, and without any sharp projections, edges, or short bends. The conductors shall be installed in such manner and by such methods as to insure against harmful stretching of the conductor or damage to the insulation and shall conform to the recommendations of the cable manufacturer. The Contractor shah furnish, at the request of the Engineer, at least two copies of the manufacmrer's recommendations, including methods of attaching pulling tension per conductor size and per radius of conduit bend, and the type of lubricant to be used. All cables in a given conduit mn shah be pulled at the same time and the conductors shall be assembled to form one loop in such a manner that the pulling tension is distributed to all the cables. Long, hard pulls will necessitate the use of pulling eyes. For short runs, the cables may be gripped direc~y by the conductors by forming them into a loop to which the pull wire or rope can be attached. The insulation on each conductor shall be removed before the loop is formed. The method used will depend on the anticipated maximm pulling tension in each case. In many instances, existing conduits which contain signal cable are to be used for the installation of new cables. In such locations, the existing cable(s) may be used to pull in the new cables. Should the ContracWr desire to install new cables without removing the existing cables, the new installation shall be done in such a way as to prevent damage to the existing and/or new cables. In the event of damage, the Contractor shall bear the responsibility of replacement of defective cables. The manufacturer's recommended maximum pulling tensions shall not be exceeded under any circumstances. If so required by the Engineer, the Contractor shall insert a dynamometer in the pull wire as the cables are being pulled into the conduit to demonstrate that the maximum tensions are not being exceeded. The cable shall be fed freely off the reel into the conduit without making a reverse curve. At the pulling end, the pull wire and or other suitable devices shah be used as required to reduce any hazards to the cable during installation.

It is the object of this specification to insure the installation of tightly adherent, defect-free pavement markings of quality, visibility, and durability, to either asphaltic or portland cement road surfaces. Markings to be installed on roadways under traffic operation conditions shall be placed with a minimum of interference to the operation of the facility. Pavement marking material shall be a beaded/pigmented film product especially compounded for traffic markings. Each container or roll shall be clearly and adequately marked to indicate color, weight, type of material, and lot or batch number (a lot or batch shall be defined as each individual blend or mix that produces a finished product ready for use). The materials shall have the following characteristics: a. When in place for use, the markings shall be slippery when wet. be The material shall have adhesion to the surface sufficient to prevent tearing, roll-back, shrinkage and lifting under all weather conditions. When in place, the material shall not exhibit a tacky or sticky surface. de Cold ductility of the material shall permit movement of same with the normal shifting of the road surface without chipping or cracking. The markings shall retain their original color, dimensions, and position (relative to surface) under normal traffic conditions at road surface temperatures from O°C (+ 32°1=) to 70°C (158°F). When applied, the film material shall be 0.012" thick and essentially have a uniform cross section with uniform density and material quality throughout the thickness. The material shall be 95 percent free of voids and holes and virtually free of blisters. 5-68 Technical Specifications & Description of Pay Items t Markings in place shall be re~ectorized internally (premixed glass beads irabedded in film). Texas Test Method Tex-828-B shall show uniform retrodirective re~ectance throughout the markings. 2.0 MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS 2.1 At temperatures up to and including 70°C (158°F), materials shall not give off fumes which are toxic or otherwise injurious to persons, animals, or property. The material shall not be adversely altered by contact with sodium chloride, calcium chloride, or other similar chemicals on or used on the roadway surface; or because of the oil content of pavement materials; or form oil dropping from traffic. The material shall not soften at 180°F when tested by the Ball and Ring Method, American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) Method E2S58T. 2.2 a. The material shall consist of polymeric binder film, prime pigment or pigments, filler pigment, and glass traffic beads in a uniform blend so that any 90 to 100 gram sample shall be representative of lot, batch, or mix sample. A minimum of 90 percent of the binder shall be hydrocarbon resins. The total binder content of the pavement marking materials shall not be less than 25 percent nor more than 30 percent by weight. C$ A minimum of 98 percent of the prime and filler pigments used in the formulation, when washed free of resins by solvent washing, shall pass a U.S. Standard Sieve No. 230 (0.0024 inch opening). The prime pigment of the white pavement marking material shall be titanium dioxide and shall be a minimum of 12 percent by weight of total material. The prime pigment or pigments of the yellow pavement marking material shall be medium chrome yellow or other approved yellow pigments ranging from 10 to 15 percent by weight of total material.

All lane and word/symbol marking configurations shall be in accordance with the "Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices", as curren~y amended. The general application procedure is as follows: Clean the road surface by high pressure air. Blast cleaning may be required by the Engineer on existing road surfaces. Pro-mark the road surface with chalk or crayon where the markings are to be applied. Prime the road surface using recommended primer and applicator, extending beyond outlined area a minimum of 1 ". Apply marking material in accordance with manufacturers specific recommendations making sure all edges are firmly adhered and no material is overlapping. Tamp or roll the applied markings with a minimum 200 lb. load. It is the intent of the equipment requirements specified above to insure the placement of pavement markings meeting the requirements of this specification. All markings placed that do not meet the requirements of this specification and fail to adhere to the road surface properly shall be completely removed and replaced at the expense of the Contractor. CONSTRUCTION METHODS The Contractor shall use a crew experienced in the work of installing pavement mar[rings and shall supply all the equipment and materials necessary for the placement of the pavement markings. The pavement marking material shall be applied within the material temperature limits recommended by the supplier. The pavement upon which the pavement markings are to be placed shall be cleaned and prepared, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, prior to placement of the markings. Technical Specifications & Description of Pay Items Cleaning, shall be by any effective method, approvod by the Engineer, that completely and effectively removes contsminants, loose materials, and conditions deleterious to proper adhesion. When blast cleaning is required by the Plans or by the Engineer, the blast cleaning shall be done in accordance with State of Texas Special Specification Item "Blast Cleaning." Portland cement concrete surfaces shall not be cleaned by grinding. Portland cement concrete surfaces shall be further prepared after cleaning by complete sealing with a methylmethacrylate sealer or primer with an adhesive or adhesion promoter, approved by the Engineer, prior to placement of the markings. Methylmethacrylate sealers, adhesives, or adhesion promoters shall match infrared spectra and/or other data of approved materials of file at the Materials and Tests Laboratory in Austin, Texas. When deemed necessary by the Engineer, asphaltic surfaces exhibiting polished aggregate shall be primed with a sealer, adhesive, or adhesion promoter meeting the requirements specified for sealers, adhesives, and adhesion promoters to be used on portland cement concrete surfaces. All other pavement surfaces may be prepared by any effective method, approved by the Engineer, that will insure complete removal of all materials or conditions deleterious to proper adhesion of the markings to the roadway surface. 5.0 PERFORMANCE Installed pavement markings shall meet all requirements of this specification for a minimum of 30 calendar days after final installation of pavement markings is complete. Pavement markings that fail to meet all requirements of this specification shall be removed and be replaced with pavement markings meeting the requirements of this specification at the expense of the Contractor.
