supplies or services. This prohibition does not apply when the interest is represented by
ownership of stock in a corporation involved, provided such stock ownership amounts to less
than one percent (1 %) of the corporation stock. Any violation of this prohibition will
constitute malfeasance in office. Any officer or employee of the City found guilty thereof
should thereby forfeit his office or position. Any violation of this prohibition with the
knowledge, expressed or implied, of the persons or corporations contracting with the City
shall render the contract voidable by the City Manager or the City Council. The Contractor

and Regulations that may affect cost, progress, performance or furnishing of the Work, (d)
study and carefully correlate Bidder's observations with the Contract Documents, and (e)
notify Engineer of all conflicts, errors or discrepancies in the Contract Documents. Failure to
make these examinations shall in no way relieve any Bidder from the responsibility of
fulfilling all of the terms of the contract, without additional cost to the OWNER.
6.2 Information and data reflected in the Contract Documents with respect to Underground
Facilities at or contiguous to the site is based upon information and data furnished to the
Owner by Owners of such underground Facilities or others, and the Owner does not assume
responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. All existing structures,
_ improvements, and utilities shall be adequately protected, at the expense of the Contractor,
from damage that might otherwise occur due to construction operations. Where construction
comes in close proximity to existing structures or utilities, or if it becomes necessary to move
_ services, poles, guy wires, pipe lines, or other obstructions, it shall be the Contractor's
responsibility to notify and cooperate with the utility or structure owner. The utility lines and
other existing structures shown on the plans are for information only and are not guaranteed
1.7 Bidding Documents
by the City to be complete or accurate as to location and/or depth. It shall be the Contractor's
responsibility to verify locations and depths sufficiently in advance of construction such that
necessary adjustments may be made to allow for the proper installation. The Contractor shall
be liable for damage to any utilities resulting from the construction of this project.
6.3 Before submitting a Bid, each Bidder will, at Bidder's own expense, make or obtain any
additional examinations, investigations, explorations, tests and studies and obtain any

explorations and tests as each Bidder deems necessary for submission of a Bid. Bidder shall

explorations.
6.5 The lands upon which the Work is to be performed, rights -of -way and easements for access
thereto and other lands designated for use by Contractor in performing the Work are
identified in the Contract documents.
6.6 The submission of a Bid will constitute an incontrovertible representation by Bidder that
Bidder has complied with every requirement of this Article 6, that without exception the Bid
is premised upon performing and furnishing the work required by the Contract Documents
and such means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction as may be
indicated in or required by the Contract Documents, and that the Contract Documents are
sufficient in scope and detail to indicate and convey understanding of all terms and
conditions for performance and furnishing of the Work.
7. Interpretations and addenda.

IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING THE TERRORISM RISK
INSURANCE ACT OF 2002
_ The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 establishes a mechanism by which the federal government will share,
with the insurance industry, in losses arising out of "acts of terrorism" certified as such by the Secretary of the
Treasury. "Certified acts of terrorism" are defined as events that cause more than $5 million in losses and:
1. Are violent or dangerous to human life, property, or the infrastructure;
2. Result in damage within the United States, on a United States mission, or to a United States aircraft or vessel;
and
3. Are committed by individuals, acting on behalf of foreign persons or interests, as part of an effort to coerce the
civilian population of the United States or to influence the policies or conduct of the United States
Government.
The Act specifies that coverage for "certified acts of terrorism" must be made available in commercial property
and casualty policies of insurance, and it requires insurers to disclose any applicable premium charges and the
federal share of compensation. We are making these disclosures in strict compliance with the Act.
Disclosure of Availability of Coverage for Terrorism Losses
Coverage for losses resulting from "certified acts of terrorism" is being made available to you on terms, amounts,
and limitations generally applicable to losses resulting from perils other than acts of terrorism.
Disclosure of Federal Share of Compensation for Terrorism Losses
The federal government will pay a 90% share of an insurer's terrorism losses once the insurer has satisfied a
significant aggregate annual deductible. For terrorism losses occurring in 2002, that deductible is 1% of the
insurer's 2001 direct earned premium. For losses occurring in 2003, 2004 and 2005, the annual insurer
deductibles are 7 %, 10% and 15% of the prior year's direct earned premium, respectively. The Act provides that
neither insurers nor the federal government are responsible for losses associated with "certified acts of terrorism"
once aggregate annual insured losses exceed $100 billion.
Disclosure of Terrorism Insurance Premium
Your Bond premium charge for "certified acts of terrorism" coverage is $ 0.

in any contract with the City, nor shall be financially interested, directly or indirectly, in the
sale to the City of any land, or rights or interest in any land, materials, supplies or services.
This prohibition does not apply when the interest is represented by ownership of stock in a
corporation involved, provided such stock ownership amounts to less than one percent (1 %)
of the corporation stock. Any violation of this prohibition will constitute malfeasance in
office. Any officer or employee of the City found guilty thereof should thereby forfeit his
office or position. Any violation of this prohibition with the knowledge, expressed or
implied, of the persons or corporations contracting with the City shall render the contract
voidable by the City Manager or the City Council. The Contractor represents that no

ITEM 1.58 - STATE AND LOCAL SALES AND USE TAXES
SC -1.58

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 charges 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 bidders
bid form will be used to develop the "separated contract" and will determine the extent of the

inside lane of MacArthur may be closed for safety considerations associated with the
installation of the RCP in the median. Where the RCP crosses the roadway, please be advised
that no closure of the entire roadway will be allowed. At all times at least one lane in each
direction must be allowed free passage across the roadway. Also, as previously stated, prior
to 9:00 a.m. and after 4:00 p.m., two lanes in each direction must be allowed free passage
_ through the work area. Because of the requirement for one lane to be opened at all tirnes, it is
conceivable that the installation of the RCP will be in phases or that the trench will need to be
adequately "plated" to allow for the free passage of vehicles through the work area.
5-7 Description of Pay Items
