ITEM 1,58 - STATE AND 1.OCAI, SAI,ES AND USE TAX'Y.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 coveting 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 foi 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, from 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 successrid bidder's bid form will be used to develop the "separated contract" and will determine the extent of the tax exemption. Upon execution of the construction contract, the contractor shall furnish a breakdown (per item) of 1) materials incorporated into the project; and 2) labor, equipment, supervision and materials not incorporated into the project. j: Xclerical~coppel IL~6-15lY~ecaXtech--lpexsup-cond. doe I : 143 Supplementary Conditions of the Agreement SECTION 2 SPECIFIC PROJECT REQUIREMENTS J:\Coppe|l\96 150%specs\t~ch\Sec-2doc 2- ] SECTION 2 SPECIFIC PROJECT REQUIREMENTS The construction specifications which apply to this project are the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction - North Central Texas with latest Amendments prepared through the North Central Texas Council of Govemments (C.O.G.).

ITEM 5.8.2(f} Add: ~5) Continuous Volumetric Mix Concrete ISee Item 7.4.61 (h) Finishing Delete (h) and add the following: The finished concrete pavement construction under these specifications is expected to meet certain quality standards for surface of the concrete including the durability, texture, riding surface and appearance. The surface must be durable, firm, dense and well bonded to the aggregate to maintain an appearance and texture which is satisfactory to the Owner. Concrete pavement having a poor surface which has spalied (exposed aggregate) due to poor quality paste, high water-cement ratio, over-vibration, improper curing, extreme weather or any other reason, or does not have a satisfactory ridin~ surface shall be removed and replaced at the Contractor's expense. It is extremely important that the oavement have a good rideable surface. free from undulations and rou~ joints. The City Engineer shall determine the acceptability of the pavement. ( 1 ) Machine Finishing Machine finishing of pavement shall include the use of power-driven spreaders, reciprocating type power-driven vibrators, power-driven transverse strike-off, and screed. The concrete pavement shall be consolidated by a reciprocating type mechanical vibrator. As soon as the concrete has been spread between the forms, the mechanical vibrator shall be operated to consolidate the concrete and remove all voids. Hand manipulated vibrators shall be used for areas not covered by the mechanical vibratory unit. J:\CoppellX96150~p~c!\t~ch\CM-I .doc 4-14 The transverse finishing machine shall first be operated to compact and finish the pavement to the required section and grade, without surface voids. The machine shall be operated over each area as many times.and at such intervals as directed. At least two trips will be required and the last trip over a given area shall be a continuous run of not less than 40 feet. After completion of finishing with the transverse finishing machine a transverse drag float may be used. After the floating has been completed and the excess water removed, but while the concrete is still plastic, the surface of the concrete shall be tested for truehess with an approved 10-foot steel straightedge furnished by the Contractor. The straightedge shall be operated from the side of the pavement, placed parallel to the pavement centerline and passed across the slab to reveal any high sports or depressions. The straightedge shall be advanced along the pavement in successive stages of not more than one-half its length. Practically perfect contact of the straightedge with surface will be required, and the pavement shall be leveled to this condition, in order to insure conformity with the surface test required below after the pavement has fully hardened and to insure a smooth rideable surface. Any correction of the surface required shall be accomplished by adding concrete if required and by operating the longitudinal float over the area. The surface test with the straightedge shall then be repeated. After completion of the straightedge testing and surface correction the surface of the pavement shall be finished by an approved method. Methods available for pavement surface finish including a burlap drag finish, a broom finish or a belt finish. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, the pavement surface shall be finished with the burlap drag. a. Burlap Drag Finish If the surface texture is to be a drag finish, a drag shall be used; it shall consist of a seamless strip of damp burlap or cotton fabric, and it shall produce a uniform surface of gritty texture after dragging it longitudinally along the full width of pavement. For pavement 16 feet or more in width, the drag shall be mounted on a bridge which travels on the forms. The diameter of the drag shall be such that a strip of burlap or fabric at least 3 feet wide is in contact with the full width of pavement surface while the drag is used. The drag shall consist of not less than two layers of burlap with the bottom layer approximately 6 inches wider than the upper layer. The drag shall be maintained in such a condition that the resultant surface is of uniform appearance and reasonably free from gravels over 1/16-inch in depth. Drags shall be maintained clean and free from encrusted mortar. Drags that cannot be cleaned shall be discarded and new drags substituted. b. Broom Finish If the surface texture is to be broom finished, it shall be applied when the water sheen has practically disappeared. The broom shall be drawn from the center to the edge of the pavement with adjacent strokes slightly overlapping. The broom operation shall be so executed that the corrugation produced in the surface shall be uniform in appearance and not more than 1/16-inch in depth. Brooming shall be completed before the concrete is in such condition that the surface will be torn or unduly roughened by the operation. The surface thus finished shall be free from rough and porous areas, irregularities, and depressions resulting from improper handling of the broom. Brooms shall be of the quality, size, and construction and shall be operated to produce a surface finish meeting the approval of the Owner. Subject to the approval of the Owner, the Contractor may be permitted to substitute mechanical brooming in lieu of the manual brooming as herein described. c. Belt Finish If the surface texture is to be belt finish, when straightedging is completed and after sheen has practically disappeared and just before the concrete becomes non-plastic, the surface shall be belted with a 2-ply canvas belt not less than 8 inches wide and at least 3 feet longer than the pavement width. Hand belts shall have suitable handles to permit controlled, uniform manipulation. The belt shall be operated with short strokes transverse to the centerline and with a rapid advance parallel to the centerline. J:\Coppell\96150~spccs\tech\CM- I.doc 4- l 5 (2) Hand Finishin~ Hand finishing of concrete pavement will be permitted in areas where it is not practical or possib'le to construct with finishing machines. These areas include, but are not limited to, intersections, left turn lanes, crossovers, transition areas and where the pavement width is not uniform. In all hand finished areas, one (I) extra sack of cement per cubic yard of concrete shall be used in the mix. In hand finished areas, the concrete shall be struck off with an approved strike-off screed to such elevation that when consolidated and finished the surface of the pavement shall conform to the required section and grade. The strike template shall be moved forward with a combined transverse and longitudinal motion in the direction the work is progressing, maintaining a slight excess of material in front of the curing edge. The concrete shall then be tamped with an approved tamping template to compact the concrete thoroughly and eliminate surface voids and the surface screeded to required section. After completion of a strike-off, consolidation and transverse screeding, a hand-operated longitudinal float shall be operated to test and level the surface to the required grade. Workmen shall operate the float from approved bridges riding on the forms and spanning the pavement. The longitudinal float shall be held in contact with the surface and parallel to the centerline and operated with short longitudinal strokes while being passed from one side of the pavement to the other. If contact with the pavement is not made at all points, additional concrete shall be placed, if required, and screeded, and the float shall be used to produce a satisfactory surface. Care shall be exercised to keep the ends of the float from digging into the surface of the pavement. After a section has been smoothed so that the float maintains contact with the surface at all points in being passed form one side to the other, the bridges may be moved forward half the length of the float and the operation repeated. Other operations and surfaces tests shall be as required for machine finishing. (3) Edging at Forms and Joints After the final finish, but before the concrete has taken its initial set, the edges of the pavement along each side of each slab, and on each side of transverse expansion joints, formed joints, transverse construction joints, and emergency construction joints shall be worked with an approved tool and rounded to the radius required by the plans. A well-defined and continuous radius shall be produced and a smooth, dense mortar finish obtained. The surface of the slab shall not be unduly disturbed by tilting of the tool during use. At all joints, any tool ma~ks appearing on the slap adjacent to the joints shall be eliminated by brooming the surface. In doing this, the rounding of the edge shall not be disturbed. All concrete on top of the joint filler shall be completely removed. All joint shall be tested with a straightedge before the concrete has set, and correction shall be made if one side of the joint is higher than the other or if they are higher or lower than the adjacent slabs. ITEM 5.8.6 PAVEMENT TESTING (b) Pavement Thickness Test Delete in its entirety and substitute therefore the following: Upon completion of the work and before final acceptance and final payment shall be made, pavement thickness tests shall be made by the Contractor.

The wall spacers must be located 90 degrees from each other. The manhole shall be cast of 4000 psi concrete with a maximum slump of 4 inches. The first placement shall consist of approximately 1/2 yard of concrete evenly around the walls and vibrated until there is a minimum slump of 60 degrees from the bottom of the forms to the bearing surface both inside and outside of the manhole. When this is complete and before additional concrete is added, the concrete must be carefully vibrated on each side of each pipe. Additional concrete must be deposited in evenly distributed layers of about 18 inches with each layer vibrated to bond it to the preceding layer. The wall spacers must be raised as the placements are made with the area from which the spacer is withdrawn being carefully vibrated. Excessive vibration is to be avoided. A maximum of 2% calcium chloride may be added to the concrete, at the Contractor's option, to speed the set. The forms may be removed as soon as the concrete has sufficiently set (approximately 2 hours after placement depending on field conditions). Form marks and offsets up to 1-inch will be permitted on the outside surface of the manhole. Form marks and offsets up to 1/2-inch will be permitted inside the manhole. All offsets on the inside surface of the manhole will be smoothed and plastered so there is no projection or irregularity capable of scratching a worker or catching and holding water or solid materials.

Low Pressure Air Testing (1) General: The Contractor shall furnish adequate personnel and equipment required to perform the tests. This test covers procedures for testing sewer pipe lines, when using the low pressure air test method to demonstrate the integrity of the installed pipeline and the construction procedures. This test is used for testing 4-inch to 33-inch circular sewer pipelines utilizing gasketed joints. Mains 36-inch and larger may be tested by the individual joint method. (2) History: The low pressure air test was developed to enable detection of damaged pipe or improper joinring and is a test which determines the rate at which air under pressure escapes from an isolated section of sewer. The rate of air loss is intended to indicate the presence of absence of pipe damage and whether or not the joints have been properly constructed. The test is not intended to indicate water leakage limits and cannot be used as a measure of infiltration or exfiltration leakage under service conditions. ~ I:\Coppell\96150~specs\tech~CM- 1. doc 4-21 (3) Testing Methods: The two most common air test methods used are the "Constant Pressure Method" and the "Time Pressure Drop Method." The Contractor may utilize either of these methods of low pressure air testing. (a) Preparation Of The Sewer Line To Be Tested: The section of sewer line to be tested shall be flushed and cleaned prior to conducting the low pressure air test. This serves to clean out the debris, wet the pipe, and produces the most consistent results. (b) Test Procedures: (1) Isolate the section of sewer line to be tested by means of inflatable stoppers or other suitable tests plugs. The ends of all branches, laterals, tees, wyes and stubs to be included in the test should be plugged to prevent air leakage. All plugs should be securely braced to prevent possible blow-out due to the internal air pressure. One of the plugs should have an inlet tap, or other provision for connecting a hose to a portable air control source. (2) Connect the air hose to the inlet tap and a portable air control source. The air equipment should consist of necessary valves and pressure gages to control the rate at which air flows into the test section and to enable monitoring of the air pressure within the test section. Also, the testing apparatus should be equipped with a pressure relief device to prevent the possibility of loading the test section with a full capacity of the compressor. (3) Add air slowly to the test section until the pressure inside the pipe is raised to 4.0 psig. (4) After a pressure of 4.0 psig is obtained, regulate the air supply so that the pressure is maintained between 3.5 and 4.0 psig for a period of two minutes. This allows the air temperature to stabilize in equilibrium with the temperature of the pipe walls. The pressure will normally drop slightly until equilibrium is obtained. During this period all assessable plugs should be checked with soap solution to detect any plug leakage. (5) Determine the rate of air loss by either the constant pressure method or the time pressure drop method. For the constant pressure method, air is supplied to the pipe test section at a rate sufficient to maintain a gage pressure of 3.0 psi. The rate of air flow in cubic feet per minute is read directly by means of a rotometer. The rate of air flow must be corrected for pressure and temperature under standard conditions. (6) Upon completion of the test, the bleeder valve is opened and all air is allowed to escalie. Plugs should not be removed until all air piessure in the test section has been released. Also no one should be allowed in the trench or manhole while the test is being conducted. (c) Constant Pressure Method: (1) Air is supplied to the pipe test section at a rate sufficient to maintain a gage pressure of 3.0 psi. The rate of air flow in cubic feet per minute is read directly by the means of a rotometer. The rate of air flow shall be corrected for pressure and temperature under standard conditions. (2) The requirements for air loss under the "Constant Pressure" method shall be considered satisfied if the air loss does not exceed a rate of 0.003 cfm per square foot of internal pipe surface area with a total rate of air loss not greater than 2.0 cubic feet per minute, based on a wetted pipe. (d) Time Pressure Drop Method: (1) Air is slowly introduced into the section of pipe to be tested, until the air pressure is raised to approximately 4.0 psig. The air shall be allowed to stabilize for a period of two minutes. The air supply is disconnected and the test pressure allowed to decrease to 3.5 psig. The time required for the test pressure to drop from 3.5 psig to 2.5 psig is determined, and this time interval is then compared to the required time to determine if the rate of air loss is within the allowable. (2) Minimum holding times required per pipe diameter are shown in the table "Duration Requirements for Air Testing." (Note: Test times are independent of the line length once the minimum holding time has been reached.) (4) Individual joint Test Method: All concrete sewer mains 36-inch and larger in diameter shall be 100% air tested at each joint connection only. The method of testing shall be described in Item 6.7.2(f). The time allowed for the pressure drop from 3.5 psi to 2.5 psi shall be 10 seconds. No joint shall be air tested until the pipe has been backfilled. Air testing shall be performed as pipe installation progresses. At no time shall pipe installation exceed 100 feet from the last joint tested. If the joint fails to pass the joint air test, necessary repairs as recommended by the pipe manufacture may be made if approved by the Owner and the joint retested. Failure to pass the air test after repairs have been made may be cause of rejection.
