5.0 PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
5.01 TIME AND ORDER OF COMPLETION. It is the meaning and intent of this Contract,
unless otherwise herein specifically provided, that the CONTRACTOR shall be allowed to prosecute his
work at such times and seasons, in such order of precedence and in such manner as shall be most
conducive to economy of construction; provided, however, that the order and the time of prosecution shall
be such that the work shall be substantially completed as a whole and in part, in accordance with this
Contract, the Plans and Specifications, and within the time of completion designated in the Proposal;
provided also, that when the OWNER is having other work done, either by contract or by his own force,
the ENGINEER may direct the time and manner of constructing the work done under this Contract, so
that conflict will be avoided and the construction of the various works being done for the OWNER shall
be harmonized.
The CONTRACTOR shall submit, at such times as may reasonably be requested by the ENGINEER,
schedules which shall show the order in which the CONTRACTOR proposes to carry on the work, with
dates on which the CONTRACTOR will start the several parts of the work, and estimated dates of
completion of the several parts.
5.02 EXTENSION OF TIME. The CONTRACTOR agrees that he has submitted his Proposal
in full recognition of the time required for the completion of this project, taking into consideration the
average climatic range and industrial conditions prevailing in this locality, and has considered the
liquidated damage provisions as hereinafter set forth and that he shall not be entitled to, nor will he
request, an extension of time on this Contract, except when completion of the work has been delayed by
any act or neglect of the OWNER, the ENGINEER, or any employee of either, by other contractors
employed by the OWNER, by changes ordered in the work, by strikes, lockouts fires and unusual delays
by common carriers, by unavoidable cause or causes beyond the CONTRACTOR'S control, or by any
cause which the ENGINEER shall decide justifies the delay. The CONTRACTOR shall give the
ENGINEER pi ompt notice, in writing, of the cause of such delay; and within ten (10) days after receipt of
a written request for an extension of time shall from the CONTRACTOR, supported by all requested
documentation, the ENGINEER shall submit such written request, together with his written
recommendation, to the OWNER for consideration, and the OWNER shall grant an extension of time for
completing the work, sufficient to compensate for the delay.
5.03 HINDRANCES AND DELAYS. In executing the Contract Agreement, the
CONTRACTOR agrees that in undertaking to complete the work within the time herein fixed, he has
taken into consideration and made allowances for all hindrances and delays incident to such work,
whether growing out of delays in securing material or workmen or otherwise. No claim shall be made by
the CONTRACTOR for damages resulting from hindrances or delays from any cause during the progress
of any portion of the work embraced in this Contract, except where the work is stopped by order of the
OWNER or the ENGINEER as the OWNER's representative for the OWNER's convenience, in which
event such expense as in the judgement of the ENGINEER is caused by such stoppage of said work shall
be paid by the OWNER to the CONTRACTOR.
04/2002 00700-18
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS
5.04 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR DELAY. It is understood and agreed that time is of the
essence, and that the CONTRACTOR will commence said work on the date specified and will complete
said work within the time specified in the Proposal. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and
between the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER, that the time for the completion of the work described
herein is reasonable time for the completion of the same, taking into consideration the average climatic
range and conditions and usual industrial conditions prevailing in this locality. The CONTRACTOR
further agrees that a breach of this Contract as to completion on time will cause damage to the OWNER
and that such damages cannot be accurately measured or that ascertainment will be difficult. Therefore,
the parties agree that for each and every calendar day the work or any portion thereof shall remain
uncompleted after the expiration of the time limit set in the Contract or as extended by the OWNER, the
CONTRACTOR shall pay, as minimum liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the amount set out in
the Proposal.
However, the foregoing agreement as to liquidated damages constitutes only an agreement by the
OWNER and the CONTRACTOR as to the minimum amount of damages which the OWNER will
sustain in any event by reason of the CONTRACTOR'S failure to complete the work within the specified
time. Should the OWNER suffer damage over and above the minimum amount specified, by reason of
the CONTRACTOR'S failure to begin the work when ordered, carry it forward uninterruptedly after
beginning, or complete it within the specified time in strict accordance with the Plans and Specifications,
the OWNER may recover such additional amount.
The OWNER shall have the right to deduct and withhold the amount of any and all such damages
whether it be the minimum amount stipulated above or otherwise, from any monies owing by it to said
CONTRACTOR or the OWNER may recover such amount from the CONTRACTOR and the sureties of
his bond; all of such remedies shall be cumulative and the OWNER shall not be required to elect any one
nor be deemed to have made an election by proceeding to enforce any one remedy.
6.0 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
6.01 DISCREPANCIES AND OMISSIONS. It is agreed that it is the intent of this Contract
that all work described in the Proposal, the Plans and Specifications and other contract documents, is to
be done for the prices quoted by the CONTRACTOR and that such price shall include all appurtenances
necessary to complete the work in accordance with the intent of these contract documents as interpreted
by the ENGINEER. If the CONTRACTOR finds any discrepancies or omissions in these Plans,
Specifications or contract documents, he should notify the ENGINEER and obtain a clarification before
the bids are received, and if no such request is received by the ENGINEER prior to the opening of bids,
then it shall be considered that the CONTRACTOR fully understands the work to be included and has
provided sufficient sums in his Proposal to complete the work in accordance with these Plans and
Specifications. It is further understood that any request for clarification must be submitted no later than
five (5) days prior to the opening of bids
6.02 QUANTITIES AND MEASUREMENTS. No extra or customary measurements of any
kind will be allowed, but the actual measured and/or computed length, area, solid contents, number and
weight only shall be considered, unless otherwise specifically provided
04/2002 00700-19
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS
6.03 ESTIMATED QUANTITIES. This Agreement including the Specifications, Plans and
estimate, is intended to show clearly all work to be done and material to be furnished hereunder. Where
the estimated quantities are shown for the various classes of work to be done and material to be furnished
under this Contract, they are approximate and are to be used only as a basis for estimating the probable
cost of the work and for comparing the proposals offered for the work. It is understood and agreed that
the actual amount of work to be done and the materials to be furnished under this Contract may differ
somewhat from the estimates and that the items listed or estimated quantities stated shall not give rise to a
claim by the CONTRACTOR against the OWNER for compensation, unless the work shall have actually
been authorized, and performed and material supplied
Where payment is based on the unit price method, the CONTRACTOR agrees that he will make no
claim for damages, anticipated profits or otherwise, on account of any differences which may be found
between the quantities of work actually done and the material actually furnished under this Contract and
the estimated quantities contemplated and contained in the Proposal.
6.04 PRICE OF WORK In consideration of the furnishing of all the necessary labor,
equipment and material and the completion of all work by the CONTRACTOR, and upon the completion
of all work and the delivery of all materials embraced in this Contract in full conformity with the
specifications and stipulations herein contained, the OWNER agrees to pay to the CONTRACTOR the
prices set forth in the Proposal attached hereto, which is made a part of this Contract, for the material
actually used and services actually performed however, the OWNER does not assume any obligation to
pay for any services or material not actually authorized and used The CONTRACTOR hereby agrees to
receive such prices as payment in full for furnishing all materials and all labor required for the aforesaid
work, and for all expenses incurred by him, and for full performance of the work and the whole thereof in
the manner and according to this Agreement, the attached Plans and Specifications and contract
documents, and the requirements of the ENGINEER.
6.05 PAYMENTS. No payments made or certificates given shall be considered as conclusive
evidence of the performance of the Contract either in whole or in part, nor shall any certificate or
payment be considered as acceptance of defective work. CONTRACTOR shall, at any time requested
during the progress of the work, furnish the OWNER or the ENGINEER with a verifying certificate
showing the CONTRACTOR's total outstanding indebtedness in connection with the work. Before final
payment is made, the CONTRACTOR shall satisfy the OWNER, by affidavit or otherwise, that there are
no outstanding liens against OWNER's premises by reason of any work under the Contract. Acceptance
by CONTRACTOR of final payment of the contract price shall constitute a waiver of claims against
OWNER which have not theretofore been timely filed as provided in this Contract.
6.06 PARTIAL PAYMENTS On or before the tenth day of each month, the CONTRACTOR
shall prepare and submit to the ENGINEER, for approval or modification, an application for partial
payment being a statement showing as completely as practicable, the total value of the work done by the
CONTRACTOR up to and including the twenty-fifth day of the preceding month; said statement shall
also include the value of all sound materials to be fabricated into the work and stored in accordance with

CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS
proof of insurance for materials stored has been provided. The ENGINEER shall then review such
statement and application for partial payment and the progress of the work made by the CONTRACTOR
and, if found to be in order, shall prepare a certificate for partial payment and shall deliver his
certifications for payment to the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR.
The CONTRACTOR shall then, prior to payment by the OWNER, certify and attest to the certification
that he is in accord with the certification and agrees to accept the amounts set out therein and the total set
out therein for the work and for the prices contained in the certification. If the CONTRACTOR does not
agree or desires to protest the ENGINEER's certification, the same shall not be certified b} the
ENGINEER to the OWNER for payment until such dispute has been resolved, and the CONTRACTOR
agrees that any claim by the CONTRACTOR for additional compensation, of any nature whatsoever, not
contained in the ENGINEER's certification, shall be waived, and further contracts and agrees, upon
acceptance of the CONTRACTOR's payment, that this shall constitute full and final payment for work
performed by the CONTRACTOR contained in the CONTRACTOR's statement which shall be attached
to the ENGINEER's certification.
The OWNER shall then pay the CONTRACTOR, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the ENGINEER's
recommendation foi payment, the total amount of the ENGINEER's Certificate of Partial Payment, less
ten percent (10%) of the amount thereof up to and including the first Four Hundred Thousand
($400,000 00) dollars and five percent (5%) on the amount thereafter Such retainage shall be retained
until final payment and further less all previous payments and all further sums that may be retained by
the OWNER under the terms of this Agreement It is understood, however, that in case the whole work

recommendation of the ENGINEER, pay a reasonable and equitable portion of the retained percentage to
the CONTRACTOR, or the CONTRACTOR, at the OWNER'S option, may be relieved of the obligation
to fully complete the work, and thereupon, the CONTRACTOR shall receive at the OWNER'S option,
payment of the balance due him under the Contract, subject only to the conditions set forth under "6.09
FINAL PAYMENT."
The Owner at its option and in compliance with state law may reduce retainage to less than the above -
stated percentages.
6.07 USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS. The OWNER shall have the right to take
possession of and use any completed or partially completed portions of the work, notwithstanding that the
time for completing the entire work or such portions may not have expired; but such taking possession
and use shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work not completed in accordance with the contract
documents. If such prior use increases the cost of or delays the work, the CONTRACTOR shall be
entitled to such extra compensation or extension of time, or both, as may be determined in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement.
The CONTRACTOR shall notify the ENGINEER, by letter executed by a duly qualified officer of
CONTRACTOR, that in CONTRACTOR's opinion, the Contract is "substantially completed' . When so
notifying the ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish to the ENGINEER, in writing, a detailed

CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS
list of unfinished work. The ENGINEER will review the CONTRACTOR's list of unfinished work and

structure or facility shall not excuse the CONTRACTOR from performing all of the work undertaken,
whether of a minor or major nature, and thereby completing the structure or facility in accordance with
the contract documents.
6.08 FINAL COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE Within ten (10) days after the
CONTRACTOR has given the ENGINEER written notice that the work has been completed or
substantially completed, the ENGINEER and the OWNER shall inspect the work; and within said time, if

OWNER's Certificate of Acceptance, the ENGINEER shall proceed to make final measurements and
prepare a final statement of the value of all work performed and materials furnished under the terms of the
Agreement and shall present the same to the CONTRACTOR for acceptance. The CONTRACTOR, if he
finds such statement to be in order, including all work upon which a claim for payment may be made,
shall note his acceptance thereon, and by accepting the same, the CONTRACTOR agrees to release any
and all claims of any nature whatsoever against the OWNER or the ENGINEER, growing out of or by
reason of the performance of the Contract the construction of the work, for Extra Work, or for any other
reason whatsoever, either growing out of the Contract and the documents attached thereto or otherwise.

a copy of which, titled 'Attachment No. 2 to General Conditions", is attached to these contract documents
and made a part hereof, which shall be presented to the OWNER with the ENGINEER's final statement

Agreement, provided the CONTRACTOR has duly executed and returned all documents requiring
execution or approval as herein provided, or as may be provided by the OWNER, and that he has full)
performed his contractual obligations under the terms of this Contract. Neither the Certificate of

the contract documents.

promptly remove from OWNER's premises all materials deemed unsuitable by the ENGINEER on

remedy such work at CONTRACTOR's expense.
6.11 CORRECTION OF WORK AFTER FINAL PAYMENT. Neither the final payment nor
certificate nor any provision in this Contract shall relieve the CONTRACTOR of responsibility for faulty
materials or workmanship, and he shall remedy any defects due thereto and pay for any damage to other
work resulting therefrom, which shall appear within a period of one (1) year from the date of substantial
completion. The OWNER or the ENGINEER shall give notice of observed defects with reasonable
promptness.
6.12 PAYMENTS WITHHELD. The OWNER may, on account of subsequently discovered
evidence, withhold or nullify the whole or part of any certificate or withhold partial or full payment to

material or labor,
(4) Damage to another contractor;

amounts withheld because of them. However, the OWNER shall have the discretion of withholding or
making payment in the event any of items (1) through (8) shall be applicable to the work or progress
thereof.

involves Extra Work or entitles him to an increase in the contract price, the CONTRACTOR shall make
written request to the ENGINEER for a written Field Order.
In such case the CONTRACTOR, by copy of his communication to the ENGINEER or otherwise in
writing, shall advise the OWNER of his request to the ENGINEER for a written Field Order and that the
work involved may result in an increase in the contract price.

7.03 EXTRA WORK. It is agreed that the CONTRACTOR shall perform all Extra Work
under the direction of the ENGINEER when presented with a written work order signed by the
ENGINEER, subject, however, to the right of the CONTRACTOR to require written confirmation of such
Extra Work order by the OWNER. It is agreed that the basis of compensation to the CONTRACTOR for

CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS
work either added or deleted b} a Change Ordei, or for which a claim for Extra Work is made, shall be
determined by one or more of the following methods•
Method (A) -- By agreed unit prices; or
Method (B) -- By agreed lump sum; or
Method (C) -- If neither Method (A) nor Method (B) be agreed upon before the Extra Work is
commenced, then the CONTRACTOR shall be paid the "actual field cost" of the
work, plus fifteen percent (15%).
In the event said Extra Work is performed and paid for under Method (C), then the provisions of this
paragraph shall apply and the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the cost to the
CONTRACTOR of all workers, such as foremen, timekeepers, mechanics and laborers, and materials,
supplies, trucks, rentals of machinery and equipment, for the time actually employed of used on such
Extra Work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred together with all power, fuel,
lubricants water and similar operating expenses, plus all necessary incidental expenses incurred directly
on account of such Extra Work, including Social Security, Old Age Benefits and other payroll taxes, and
a rateable proportion of premiums on Performance and Payment Bonds and Maintenance Bonds, Public
Liability and Property Damage and Worker's Compensation, and all other insurance as may be required
by law or ordinance, or directed by the OWNER, or by them agreed to.
The ENGINEER may direct the form in which accounts of the "actual field cost' shall be kept and the
records of these accounts shall be made available to the ENGINEER. The ENGINEER or OWNER may
also specify in writing, before the work commences, the method of doing the work and the type and kind
of machinery and equipment to be used; otherwise these matters shall be determined by the
CONTRACTOR. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machinery and equipment
shall be determined by using one hundred percent (100%), unless otherwise specified, of the latest
schedule of Equipment Ownership Expense adopted by the Associated General Contractors of America
where practicable, and the terms and prices foi the use of machinery and equipment shall be incorporated
in the written Extra Work Order. The fifteen percent (15%) of the "actual field cost" to be paid to the
CONTRACTOR, shall cover and compensate him for his profit, overhead, general superintendence and
field office expense, and all other elements of cost and expense not embraced within the "actual field
cost' as herein defined, save that where the CONTRACTOR's camp or field office must be maintained
primarily on account of such Extra Work, then the cost to maintain and operate the same shall be
included in the "actual field cost.'
No claim for Extra Work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered in writing by the ENGINEER In
case any orders or instructions, either oral or written, appear to the CONTRACTOR to involve Extra
Work for which he should receive compensation or an adjustment in the construction time, he shall make
written request to the ENGINEER for written order authorizing such Extra Work. Should a difference of
opinion arise as to what does or does not constitute Extra Work or as to the payment therefor, and the
ENGINEER insists upon its performance the CONTRACTOR shall proceed with the work after making
written request for written order and shall keep an accurate account of the "actual field cost" thereof, as
04/2002 00700-25
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS
provided under Method (C). The CONTRACTOR shall then have the right to submit his claim directly
to the OWNER by proper certification and attestation, on forms provided by the OWNER. If the
OWNER shall fail to pay or guarantee to pay said amount claimed within thirty (30) days of the date of
submission, the CONTRACTOR shall have the right to file suit in the applicable District Court, for
declaratory judgment or other relief, to determine his rights to such claim, and if he shall fail to file suit
within sixty (60) days after the date of presentment to the OWNER, the CONTRACTOR shall lose and
forfeit his right to make such claim for Extra Work at any later date, and all claims held by the
CONTRACTOR shall be deemed forfeited and forever barred if the CONTRACTOR shall accept final
payment without having first filed suit in the District Court.
7.04 TIME OF FILING CLAIMS. It is further agreed by both parties hereto that all questions
of dispute or adjustment presented by the CONTRACTOR shall be in writing and filed with the
ENGINEER within thirty (30) days after the ENGINEER has given any directions, order or instruction to
which the CONTRACTOR desires to take exception. The ENGINEER shall reply within thirty (30) days
to such written exceptions by the CONTRACTOR and render his final decision in writing. In case the
CONTRACTOR should desire to appeal from the ENGINEER's decision, the CONTRACTOR may
request a meeting between representatives of the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR for the purposes of
appealing the ENGINEER's decision directly to the OWNER, such meeting to occur within ten (10) days
after the date of the delivery to the CONTRACTOR of the ENGINEER's final decision If the
CONTRACTOR shall still be aggrieved after a meeting with the OWNER and/or his representative, the
CONTRACTOR shall have sixty (60) days after the date of the delivery to the CONTRACTOR of the
ENGINEER s final decision, to appeal the same to the applicable District Court, by filing suit for
declaratory judgment or other appropriate relief. In the event the CONTRACTOR shall fail, for an)
reason, to file suit, and shall accept final payment for all work completed, the OWNER shall be released
of any and all liability, and the action by the CONTRACTOR in accepting final payment shall constitute a
final bar and satisfaction of all claims held by the CONTRACTOR against the OWNER
8.0 ABANDONMENT OF CONTRACT
8.01 ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR. In case the CONTRACTOR should abandon
and fail or refuse to resume work within ten (10) days after written notification from the OWNER or the
RNGINEER, or if the CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the orders of the ENGINEER when such
orders are consistent with the contract documents, then and in that case, where Performance and Payment
Bonds exist, the sureties on these bonds shall be notified in writing and directed to complete the work,
and a copy of said notice shall be delivered to the CONTRACTOR.
After receiving said notice of abandonment, the CONTRACTOR shall not remove from the work an)
machinery, equipment, tools, or supplies then on the job, but the same, together with any materials and
equipment under contract for the work, may be held for use on the work by the OWNER or the surety on
the Performance Bond, or another contractor in completion of the work; and the CONTRACTOR shall
not receive any rental or credit therefor, it being understood that the use of such equipment and materials
will ultimately reduce the cost to complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement.
04/2002 00700-26
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS
Where there is no Performance Bond or in case the surety should fail to commence compliance with the
notice for completion hereinabove provided for within ten (10) days after the service of such notice, then
the OWNER may provide foi completion of the work in either of the following elective manners:
(a) The OWNER may thereupon employ such force of workers and use such machinery,
equipment tools materials and supplies as the OWNER may deem necessary to
complete the work and charge the expense of such labor, machinery, equipment, tools,
materials and supplies to said CONTRACTOR, and expense so charged shall be
deducted and paid by the OWNER out of such monies as may be due or that may
thereafter at any time become due to the CONTRACTOR under and by virtue of this
Agreement In case such expense is less than the sum which would have been payable
under this Contract if the same had been completed by the CONTRACTOR, then said
CONTRACTOR shall receive the difference. In case such expense is greater than the
sum which would have been payable under this Contract if the same had been completed
by such CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR and/or his surety shall pas the
amount of such excess to the OWNER; or
(b) The OWNER, under sealed bids, under the times and procedures provided for by law,
may let the contract for completion of the work under substantially the same terms and
conditions which are provided in this Contract. In case of any increase in cost to the
OWNER under the new contract as compared to what would have been the cost under
this Contract, such increase shall be charged to the CONTRACTOR, and the surety shall
be and remain bound therefor. However, should the cost to complete any such new
contract prove to be less than what would have been the cost to complete under this
Contract the CONTRACTOR and/or his surety shall be credited therewith.
When the work shall have been substantially completed, the CONTRACTOR and his surety shall be so
notified and Certificates of Completion and Acceptance, as hereinabove provided, shall be issued A
complete itemized statement of the contract accounts, certified by the ENGINEER as being correct, shall
then be prepared and delivered to the CONTRACTOR and his surety, whereupon the CONTRACTOR
and/or his surety shall pay the balance due as reflected by said statement, within fifteen (15) days after
the date of such Certificate of Completion. The OWNER, prior to incurring an obligation to make
payment hereunder, shall have such statement of completion attested to by the CONTRACTOR as
accurate, and upon payment of the sum stated therein, the OWNER shall be entitled to full and final
release of any claims or demands by the CONTRACTOR.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work is less than that which
would have been the cost to the OWNER had the work been completed by the CONTRACTOR under
the teims of this Contract, or when the CONTRACTOR and/or his surety shall pay the balance shown to
be due b} them to the OWNER, then all machinery, equipment, tools or supplies left on the site of the
work shall be turned over to the CONTRACTOR and/or his surety. Should the cost to complete the
work exceed the contract price, and the CONTRACTOR and/or his surety fail to pay the amount due the
OWNER within the time designated above, and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools,
04/2002 00700-27
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS
materials or supplies on the site of the work, notice thereof, together with an itemized list of such
equipment and materials, shall be mailed to the CONTRACTOR and his surety at the respective
addresses designated in the Contract provided, however, that actual written notice given in any manner
will satisfy this condition After mailing or other giving of such notice, such property shall be held at the
risk of the CONTRACTOR and his surety, subject only to the duty of the OWNER to exercise ordinary
care to protect such property. After fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, the OWNER may sell
such property, equipment, tools, materials or supplies, and apply the net sum derived from such sale to
the credit of the CONTRACTOR and his surety. Such sale may be made at either public or private sale,
with or without notice, as the OWNER may elect. The OWNER shall release any machinery equipment,
tools, materials or supplies, which remain on the work, and belong to persons other than the
CONTRACTOR or his surety, to their proper owners. The books on all operations provided herein shall
be open to the CONTRACTOR and his surety.
8.02 ABANDONMENT BY OWNER. In case the OWNER shall fail to comply with the
terms of this Contract (a disputed or unilateral claim by the Contractor cannot by itself constitute
'abandonment") and should fail or refuse to comply with said terms within ten (10) days after written
notification by the CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR may suspend or wholly abandon the work,
and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools and equipment, and all materials on the site of the work
that have not been included in payments to the CONTRACTOR and have not been wrought into the work.
And thereupon, the ENGINEER shall make an estimate of the total amount earned by the
CONTRACTOR, which estimate shall include the value of all work actually completed by said
CONTRACTOR (at the prices stated in the attached Proposal where unit prices are used), the value of all
partially completed work at a fair and equitable price, and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the
prices agreed upon, or provided for by the terms of this Contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost
of any provisions made by the CONTRACTOR to carry the whole work to completion and which cannot
be utilized. The ENGINEER shall then make a final statement of the balance due the CONTRACTOR by
deducting from the above estimate all previous payments by the OWNER and all other sums that may be
retained by the OWNER under the terms of this Agreement, and shall present the same to the
CONTRACTOR for the CONTRACTOR's approval; and upon the CONTRACTOR s approving the same
as being true, correct and accurate, and upon payment of said sum, the CONTRACTOR shall release the
OWNER of any and all liability growing out of or by season of said Contract, and then the same shall be
presented to the OWNER, who shall pay to the CONTRACTOR, on or before thirty (30) days after the
date of notification by the CONTRACTOR of the balance shown by said final statement as due the
CONTRACTOR under the terms of this Agreement.
9.0 ARBITRATION
9.01 Any party to this Contract, upon the written agreement and acquiescence of all other
parties may submit any question or dispute under the terms and provisions of the contract documents, to
arbitration under such procedure and agreements as the parties shall make in writing prior to arbitration.
The results of arbitration shall be binding and shall constitute an amendment to the contract documents
when accepted in writing by the parties to the Contract.

o n time, whether or not acceptance of the substitute for use in the Work will require a change in
any of the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with OWNER
for work on the project) to adapt the design to the proposed substitute, and whether or not
incorporation or use of the substitute in connection with the Woik is subject to payment of any
license fee or royalty All vatiations of the proposed substitute from that specified will be
identified in the application and available maintenance and repair and replacement service will
be indicated. The application also will contain an itemized estimate of all costs or credits that
will result directly or indirectly float acceptance of such substitute including costs of redesign
and claims of other contractors affected by the resulting change, all of which will be considered

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
Proposed Water and Sanitary Sewer Lines
Hickory Creek Subdivision
City of Pearland
Brazoria County, Texas
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of our geotechnical investigation for the proposed water and
sanitary sewer lines in Hickory Creek Subdivision m Pearland, Texas. This investigation was
formerly authorized by Mr Vincent Obregon, Vice President of Othon, Inc., on April 3, 2002.
The project scope was performed in general accordance with HBC Proposal No. H02-561,
dated March 25, 2002.
2.0 PROTECT DESCRIPTION
This project is expected to include the installation of new 4 to 16 inch diameter water lines
and 8 to 15 mch diameter sanitary sewer lines in Hickory Creek Subdivision in Pearland,
Texas. (Brazoria County Key Map Page 614K,L) The proposed improvements are shown on
the Plan of Borings, Page A-1 of Appendix A.
A lift station was planned near the intersection of Garden Road and Marsha Lane however,
due to problems with access we were not able to complete the boring in the lift station
location. The lift station will be addressed in a supplemental report once access has been
granted.
3.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our scope of work for this project consisted of:
1. Dnlling test borings at selected locations within the project site to evaluate subsurface
stratigraphy and groundwater conditions,
2. Performing geotechnical laboratory tests on recovered samples to evaluate the physical
and engineering properties of the strata encountered..
3, Engmeering analysis to develop design and construction recommendations with
respect to installation of the proposed utilities.

4.0 FIELD PROGRAM
4.1 Sampling Procedures
Subsurface conditions were evaluated by dulling a total of 29 borings at
approximately 500 ft spacing along the proposed water and sewer alignment. The
depths of the borings was decided based on the anticipated flow lines and typically
ranged from 10 to 20 ft. A 40-ft boring (B-4) was planned at the lift station location
at Garden Road and Marsha Lane, however this boring has been postponed due to
problems with access. The depths of the individual borings and the anticipated flow
lines are presented in the following table.

The three to four inch nominal diameter borings were drilled with truck -mounted
drilling equipment at the approximate locations shown on Page A-1 of Appendix A.
The boring depths were measured from the existing ground surface at the time of' our
field activities.
Prior to drilling, Texas One Call was notified for location of utihties. In addition, we
met with Mr Cecil Bowery of the City of Pearland in order to review the proposed
locations with respect to the city utilities. Traffic control was provided for borings
along Garden Road and parts of 0-Day Road.
The Logs of Borings, presenting the subsurface soil descriptions, type of sampling
used and additional field data, are presented on pages A-2 through A-30 of Appendix
A. The Symbol Key Sheet, which defines the terms and descriptive symbols used on
the logs, is presented on page A-31.
Cohesive soil samples were generally recovered using thin -walled, open -tube samplers
(Shelby tubes) in general accordance with the appropnate ASTM standards. Samples
were removed from samplers in the field, visually classified, and appropriately sealed
in sample containers to preserve their in -situ moisture contents. Pocket penetrometer
tests were performed on samples of' cohesive soils in the field to serve as a general
measure of consistency.
Soils for which good quahty thin -walled tube samples could not be recovered were
sampled by means of the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) in general accordance with
the appropriate ASTM standard. This test consists of measuring the number of blows
required for a 140 pound hammer free falling 30 inches to drive a standard split -spoon
sampler 12 inches into the subsurface matenal after being seated six inches. This blow
count or SPT "N" value is used to evaluate the engineering properties of the stratum.
4.2 Sample Disposal
All samples were returned to our laboratory in Houston, Texas. Samples not tested
in the laboratory will be stored for a period of 60 days subsequent to submittal of this
report and will be discarded after this period, unless we are notified otherwise.

5.0 LABORATORY TESTING
Samples obtained during the field program were visually classified in the laboratory by a
geotechmcal engineer or a senior technician. A testing program was conducted on selected
samples, as directed by the geotechnical engineer, to aid m classification and evaluation of
engineering properties required for analyses. Soil classification and laboratory tests were
performed in general accordance with the appropriate ASTM standards.
Results of the laboratory tests are presented on the Logs of Borings, located on Pages A-2
through A-30 of Appendix A, and are discussed in the following section.
6.0 SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
6.1 Surface Conditions
The proposed water and sewer alignments extend along O'Day Road from Dublin to
Butler, along Butler from O'Day to Garden, and along Garden from the American Water
Canal to Laurie Lane, Additionally the water and sewer improvements will include all
interior subdivision roads north of and including Dublin and south of Butler. The
alignment is shown on the Plan of Borings on Page A-1 of Appendix A. At the time of
our field services the roadside ditches along O'Day and Garden contained a significant
amount of water from recent heavy rains On the interior of the subdivision, the ditches
were generally very shallow and typically covered with grass. All of the roads along the
utility alignment were paved. with asphalt.
6.2 Area Geology
The site is located on the Beaumont clay formation, a deltaic nonmarine Pleistocene
deposit. The Beaumont clay is a heterogeneous formation containing thick interbedded
layers of clay, fine sand and silt,
The clay fraction is primarily composed of montzznonllonite, Mite, kaolinite, and finely
ground quartz. The clay present in the formation has been preconsolidated by a process
o f desiccation. The sands and silts, which vary m compactness from loose to very dense,
are composed of quartz, the feldspars, large particles of kaohmte, calcite, and
o ccasionally hornblende.
The coastal plain in this region has a complex tectonic geology, several major features
o f which are: Gulf Coastal geosyncline, salt domes, major sea level fluctuations during
the glacial stages, subsidence and faulting activities, Most of these faulting activities
have ceased for millions of years, but some are still active. A fault investigation and
study of the site geology are beyond the scope of this report.

depth in each boring.
(2) Distinct silty clay stratum encountered m limited number of borings. Refer to boring logs.
(3) Silty sand encountered in Boring 16 only.
These principle strata are described below.
Stratum I. The Stratum I fill soils are variable, consisting of clay, sandy clay, sand, silt,
gravel, and crushed limestone. The clay/sandy clay fill is estimated to be firm to stiff
with shear strengths on the order of 800 to 1200 psf.
Stratum II. The Stratum II natural clays are generally highly plastic with liquid limits
ranging from about 46 to 78 percent, plastic limits ranging from about 14 to 24 percent,
and a calculated plasticity index ranging from about 30 to 56 percent. These clays are
firm to stiff with measured shear strengths ranging from about 500 to 3500 psf. The
existing moisture contents range from about 18 to 38 percent.
Stratum M. The Stratum 111 silty/sandy clays are low to moderately plastic with liquid
limits ranging from about 26 to 46 percent, plastic limits ranging from about 14 to 19
percent, and a calculated plasticity index ranging from about 7 to 28 percent These silty
clays are generally stiff with measured shear strengths ranging from about 1000 to 1700
psf. A lower strength of 600 psf was measured in Bonng 16 at a depth of 8 to 10 ft,
however, the soils at that depth are very sandy and the unconfined compressive strength
test does not accurately measure the shear strength of very sandy soils. Moisture
contents range from about 18 to 25 percent.
Stratum IV. The Stratum IV sands to silty sands are medium -dense with SPT blow
counts ranging from about 14 to 22 blows per ft. Based on laboratory tests,
approximately 8 to 29 percent soil is finer than the No. 200 sieve.
6.4 Groundwater Conditions
The bonngs were advanced using dry augering techniques m an effort to monitor
groundwater levels. Groundwater measurements are presented in the following table.

7.0 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following analysis and recommendations are based upon the data obtained in our field and
laboratory programs, project information provided to us, and our experience with similar
subsurface and site conditions.
7.1 Dewatering
As noted on the boring logs and presented. in Section 6.3 the soils along the sewer
alignment consist primanly of firm to very stiff clay with silty and sandy clay layers and
sand/silty sand below 9 to 15 ft in Borings 3 and 16.
Based on the groundwater data collected during this investigation, we anticipate that
groundwater control will be required for excavations below a depth of 8 ft Since the
soils at this depth are pnmanly clays and silty clays with few distinct sand layers,
lowering the groundwater by well -pointing would not be effective in our opinion
because of the low permeabihty of the clays. We suggest excavating sumps along the
trench excavation to which the water can be drained and pumped out of the trench.
Groundwater levels can be measured at the time of construction by the use of
piezometers or test pits The contractor should develop positive methods of groundwater
management pnor to starting excavation operations..
7.2 Excavations
For this project either excavated side slopes or vertical cut excavations are feasible. For
vertical sided excavations greater than 5 ft in depth, the excavations will require the use
of a trench box or shoring and bracing to prevent sloughing and caving of the soil into
the excavation. The contractor should use a trench box or shoring and bracing as
necessary to maintain a safe and clean excavation which meets with OSHA
requirements.
Excavations must be performed and inspected under the supervision of a contractor
designated Competent Person The Competent Person, as defined by the OSHA
(Occupational Safety and Health Administration) Standard, 29 CFR Part 1926.650 to
.652, Subpart P - Excavations), must evaluate the excavations at the time of construction
activity to safeguard workers
Bracing for vertical excavation walls should be designed to resist a uniform lateral earth
pressure of at least 36H in psf, where H is the depth of the excavation in feet. Additional
lateral pressure, due to surcharge loads along the trench, should be considered by adding
a lateral pressure of 40 percent of the surcharge pressure
According to OSHA standards temporary sloped excavations should be no steeper than
1-vertical on 1-horizontal for Type B soils and 1-vertical on 1.5-horizontal for Type C
soils. Based on the results of our field and laboratory investigations, and according to
OSHA standards for excavations, the clays and silty clays above groundwater at this site
may be classified as Type B soils. Sands and all soils below groundwater level should
7
Othon, Inc.
HBC Project No. 92025-087
IBC
ENGINEERING, INC
be classified as Type C soils. According to OSHA standards, any soils from which water
is freely seeping should be classified as Type C. The surface slopes should be protected
from deterioration and weathering if they are left open for significant periods of time.
Excavations should be performed with equipment capable of providing a relatively clean
bearing area. Excavating equipment should not disturb the soil beneath the design
excavation bottom and should not leave large amounts of loose soil in the excavation.
The bearing surface should be protected against disturbance and deterioration by
completing the pipe installation and backfillmg operations as quickly as possible. The
excavation bottom should be properly sloped to allow any water infiltrating into the
excavation to be collected at a convenient location along the edge of the excavation.
Water should not be allowed to stand on the bearing area
During construction, the trench bracing, shoring, or other support system should proceed
as the excavation deepens. If trench boxes are used, the top of the trench box should
only be positioned below the ground (street) surface if adequate sloping is provided in
accordance with the OSHA Standard
7.3 Utility Bedding
The subgrade and bedding for the proposed sanitary sewer line should conform to the
Harris County or equivalent Brazoria County standards on pipeline bedding details.
(Harris County drawings are referenced herein but can be replaced with equivalent
Brazoria County standards.)
Based on data collected during this investigation, we anticipate that the soil near the
flow line will range from clay, to silty clay, to possibly wet sand. in Borings 3 16, and
18. If the sewer lines are placed in the dry, above groundwater, it is anticipated that the
pipes may be placed in accordance with guidelines for ordinary bedding details as
outlined on Hams County Drawing Nos, HC430-1 and HC430-2 for pipe bedding where
satisfactory soil conditions exist. Where wet sand conditions are encountered, the
contractor should use the bedding detail for wet sand construction consisting of crushed
stone wrapped by filter fabric or as bedding details outlined on Hams County Drawing
No. HC430-3. Copies of the above referenced bedding details are mcluded m Appendix
B.
Since groundwater level is variable, the decision may be made in the field based on
actual conditions at the time of construction and the response of the soil and water to
open trenching.
The excavations should be inspected to detect any variation in soil condition from that
found in our investigation. Any changes noted in the soil stratigraphy should be brought
to the attention of HBC so that they can be assessed and any necessary changes to the
required bedding details can be made,

7.4 Backfill
The type of fill placed above the sewer line bedding will depend on whether the surface
above the line is paved or natural ground. If the surface is to be natural ground then the
backfill may consist of the excavated, in -situ soils. The in -situ soils used as backfill
should be placed m thin lifts, moisture conditioned to above optimum moisture content,
and compacted to 90% of the maximum density as determined by the Standard Moisture
Density Relation (ASTM D 698). Within pavement areas, we recommend that the
backfill consist of cement stabilized sand to within 12 inches of the top of the subgrade
compacted to between 95 and 100 percent of the maximum density (ASTM D 698).
Prior to any filling operations, samples of the proposed borrow materials should be
obtained for laboratory moisture -density testing. The tests will provide a basis for
evaluation or fill compaction by in -place density testing. A qualified soil technician
should perform sufficient in -place density tests during the filling operations to verify
that proper levels of compaction are being attained.
7.5 Uplift Pressures
Uplift forces will be caused by a difference in water level in the soil adjacent to and
inside of structures such as manholes. If the backfill around the structure is a sandy
material, it is probable that the backfill will become saturated during periods of heavy
rainfall and the effective static water level will be at the surface.
Uplift pressures will be resisted by adhesion or skin friction of the soil to the wall and
by the dead weight of the structure The value of skin friction for an engineered clay fill
compacted to a minimum of ninety-five (95) percent of the maximum density as
determined by the Standard Moisture -Density Relation (ASTM D 698) may be
considered to be 400 psf. It is recommended that the upper 4 feet of skin friction be
neglected for a clay backfill due to potential soil shrinkage away from the structure.
Sand backfill, compacted to seventy (70) percent of the maximum relative density
(ASTM D 4253 and 4254), may be considered to have a value for skin. friction of zero
at the surface varying linearly to 150 psf at a depth of 20 feet below grade The above
values include a factor of safety of two (2) against ultimate soil failure.
If manholes are installed by excavating from the inside and allowing the structure to sink
under its own weight, the soil contact may be very low immediately after construction
due to the annulus created during construction. In this case, the uplift pressure must be
resisted by structural dead weight or by restoring the contact between the soil and the
structure If the annulus is open, grouting would be one means to restore skin frictional
resistance.
7.6 Lateral Earth Pressures
Backfill around embedded structures will impose active to at -rest earth pressures against
the embedded walls. Design lateral earth pressures for backfill are estimated to be
equivalent to a fluid pressure of 90 pounds per cubic foot for clean sand backfill and 100
9
Othon, Inc.
HBC Project No. 92025-087
ENGINEERING, INC.
pounds per cubic foot for in -situ clay or silty clay backfill. These pressures include
hydrostatic pressures but do not include surcharge forces imposed by construction or
vehicular loading. A 2-foot compacted clay seal should be placed at the top of sand
backfill to reduce the amount of infiltration of surface water.
7.7 Trenchless Excavations
We understand that augering methods may be used to install the new utilities at street
crossings. The soils along the alignment at the anticipated depth of the sewer lines
typically consist of firm to very stiff clay and silty clay. Augering through these soils are
expected to proceed without unusual diauity or special excavating technques in most
areas. However, there are some slickensides in the clays which may experience some
caving and sloughing during horizontal augering. Wet sands were encountered in
Borings 3, 16, and 18 that are near the anticipated augering depth. Care should be taken
when angering in these areas, In all cases, we recommend that augering be completed
in a continuous manner to reduce the potential for caving and sloughing.
7.8 Pavement Repairs
It is anticipated that some pavement repair may be necessary after installation of the
proposed utilities. The following paragraphs address repairs to the existing asphalt
paved county roads.
Backfill in utility trenches below pavements should consist of cement stabilized sand
to within 12 inches of the top of the subgrade as outlined in Section 7.4. Following
trench backfill, the 12 inches of subgrade should consist of clean clay/sandy clay fill
with a liquid limit preferably less than 50 percent and a plasticity index between 10 and
35 percent. Higher plasticity clays may be used however they are often difficult to
manipulate and compact and will require a larger percentage of lime The fill should be
compacted to at least 95% maximum dry density at a moisture content within two
percent of optimum. We recommend that the top 6 inches of the fill be stabilized prior
to placing the pavement. Stabilization will increase the supporting value of the subgrade
and decrease the effect of moisture on subgrade soils.
Stabilization will depend on the plasticity of the subgrade soils. We anticipate that the
soils will be comparable to the in -situ clays. These soils are typical of soils in this area
which react well with lime. For planning purposes, we recommend the use of about 6
percent hydrated lime by dry weight of soil prior to placing general area paving,
typically equivalent to about 30 pounds lime per square yard per 6 inch depth. The actual
amount of lime should be deteunined at the time of construction by the use of lane
determination tests. Specifications for lime stabilized subgrade are presented below.
At the time of this investigation precise traffic loadings for the county roads were not
available. The pavement thicknesses should meet Brazona County or applicable
specifications for the street width being planned. We recommend that flexible base
pavement repairs be equal to the existing pavement section or the following, whichever
is greater:

Where stabilization is not feasible due to hmited space, the stabilized subgrade may be
replaced with an additional one inch of asphalt or an additional 3 inches of crushed
limestone base.
These pavement thickness were developed based upon only the physical and engineering
properties of the materials, a stabilized subgrade strength based upon our experience in
the area, and conventional thickness determination procedures, The pavement materials
should meet the following recommended specifications:
Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete Surface Course - The asphaltic concrete surface course
should be plant mixed, hot laid Type D (Fine Graded. Surface Course) meeting the
specifications requirements in TxDOT Item 340. Specific criteria for the job
specifications should include compaction to within air void range of 3 to 8 percent
calculated using the maximum theoretical gravity mix measured by TxDOT Tex-227-F.
The asphalt cement content by percent of total mixture weight should fall within a
tolerance of ± 0 5 percent asphalt cement from the job mix design.
Crushed Limestone Base - Base material should be composed of crushed limestone
meeting the requirements of TxDOT Item 247, Type A, Grade 1 The base should be
compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum density as determined by the
modified moisture/density relation (ASTM D 1557) within two (2) percent of optimum
moisture.
Cohesive Subgrade. The clay subgrade shall be stabilized with lime in accordance with
Hams County Specifications Item 220. The amount of lime may be determined for
subgrade soils by conducting laboratory tests just prior to construction Based on the
classification test results, we recommend that about 6percent line be used for estimating
and planning. The quantity of lime required is computed as a percent of dry weight. The
subgrade shall be compacted to a mimmum of 95 percent of the Standard Moisture -
Density Relation (ASTM D 698) at a moisture content within 2 percent of optimum.
Related civil design factors such as subgrade drainage, shoulder support, cross -sectional
configurations, surface elevations and environmental factors which will significantly
affect the service hfe must be included in the preparation of the construction drawings
and specifications. Normal periodic maintenance will be required.

The requirements for fire hydrants for the project are contained on Sheet 51 of the plans, in
Paragraph 2 03 of Section 02510 — Water Mains, and in Section 02514 — Fire Hydrant Assembly. In
the event'of a conflict between the plans and the specifications, the plan swill control, and in the
event of a conflict between the specifications sections, Section 02514 will control over the
requirements of Section 02510.
Bedding and Backfill Details:
A complete copy of the geotechnical report is contained in the Project Manual. In Appendix B of
that report, on Pages B-1 through B-3, there are bedding and backfill details that pertain to general
information in that report and are not the bedding details for this project. All details concerning the
bedding of the pipe for this project are contained in the plans. Disregard all details contained in the
geotechnical report regarding pipe bedding.
Pavement Repair:
Payment for pavement repair for city streets will be paid under bid item 43 as described in Section
02980 and as shown on the plans. Payment for pavement repair for asphalt driveways will be the
same as for city streets. Driveways that are gravel or grass will not be paid separately as pavement

associated work. For gravel drives, remove and stockpile the surface material and replace following
installation. It is the contractor's responsibility to document with photographs the condition of all
pavement within the project limits and restore the pavement to as good as or better than the original
condition following the project.
Surface Restoration:
Sod is required within the street right-of-way located in front of private residences and all disturbed
areas on private property. All other areas are to be hydromulch seeded unless otherwise directed by
the Engineer. Payment will be by the square yard for the method actually used at the unit prices
contained in the contractor's bid.

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
This plan identifies the areas and activities that could produce contaminated
runoff at your site and then tells how you will ensure that this contamination
is mitigated. For example, in describing your mitigation measures, your site's
plan might identify the devices that collect and filter storm water, tell how
those devices are to be maintained, and tell how frequently that
maintenance is to be carried out. You must develop this plan before you

the federal government as Indian Country Lands. If not, check "No."
Destination of Storm Water Discharge
The storm water from your site eventually reaches a receiving water body
such as a local stream or lake, possibly via a drainage ditch. The discharge
may initially be into a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4). Check
the appropriate boxes for whether storm water is discharged into an MS4. If
you checked "Yes" to "An MS4?", then enter the name of the entity that
operates the storm sewer —often a city, town, or utility district, but possibly
another form of government.
You must also provide the name of the water body that receives the

may be discharged directly to a receiving stream or via a storm sewer
system. If known, please include the segment number if the discharge is to
a classified water body.
For a map that includes segment numbers, go to:
http://www.tnrcc.state.tx.us/water/quality/data/index.html

to enter the full legal name of the person signing the form and the relevant
title —for example, "Operator," "Vice -President," or "Partner," Use the

corporate positions rather than to specific individuals.
For a partnership or sole proprietorship, the application shall be signed by a
general partner or the proprietor, respectively.
For a municipality, state, federal, or other public agency, the application
shall be signed by either a principal executive officer or a ranking elected
official. For purposes of this application, a principal executive officer of a

Completing the Notice of Termination for Storm Water Discharges
Associated with Construction Activity
under the TPDES Construction General Permit (TXR150O00)
Who May File a Notice of Termination (NOT) Form
Permittees disturbing 5 acres or more (or part of a larger
common plan of development or sale disturbing 5 acres or
more) who are presently covered under the Texas
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES)
Construction General Permit must submit a Notice of
Termination (NOT) when final stabilization has been
achieved on all portions of the site that is the responsibility
of the permittee• or another permitted operator has
assumed control over all areas of the site that have not
been finally stabilized and all silt fences and other
temporary erosion controls have either been removed,
scheduled for removal as defined in the SWP3, or
transferred to a new operator if the new operator has
sought permit coverage. Erosion controls that are
designed to remain in place for an indefinite period, such
as mulches and fiber mats, are not required to be removed
or scheduled for removal.
Final Stabilization occurs when either of the following
conditions are met.
(a) All soil disturbing activities at the site have been
completed and a uniform (e.g evenly distributed,
without large bare areas) perennial vegetative cover
with a density of 70% of the native background
vegetative cover for the area has been established on
all unpaved areas and areas not covered by
permanent structures, or equivalent permanent
stabilization measures (such as the use of riprap,
gabions or goetextiles) have been employed.
(b) For individual lots in a residential construction site by
either:
(1) the homebuilder completing final stabilization as
specified in condition (a) above; or
(2) the homebuilder establishing temporary
stabilization for an individual lot prior to the time
of transfer of the ownership of the home to the
buyer and after informing the homeowner of the
need for, and benefits of final stabilization.
(c) For construction activities on land used for agricultural
purposes (e.g. pipelines across crop or range land)
final stabilization may be accomplished by returning
the disturbed land to its preconstruction agricultural
use. Areas disturbed that were not previously used for
agricultural activities, such as buffer strips immediately
adjacent to a surface water and areas which are not
being returned to their preconstruction agricultural use
must meet the final stabilization conditions of condition
(a) above.

Authorization must be terminated by submitting a Notice of Termination (NOT) on a form supplied
by the executive director. Authorization to discharge under this permit terminates at midnight on
the day the NOT is postmarked for delivery to the TCEQ If electronic submission of the NOT is
provided, authorization to discharge under this permit terminates munediately following
confirmation of receipt of the NOT by the TCEQ. Compliance with the conditions and requirements
of this permit is required until an NOT is submitted.
Notice of Termination Required
The NOT must be submitted to TCEQ, and a copy of the NOT provided to the
operator of any MS4 receiving the discharge within thirty (30) days, after:
(a) final stabilization has been achieved on all portions of the site that is the
responsibility of the permittee: or
(b) another permitted operator has assumed control over all areas of the site that
have not been finally stabilized; and
(c) all silt fences and other temporary erosion controls have either been removed,
scheduled for removal as defined in the SWP3 or transferred to a new
operator if the new operator has sought permit coverage. Erosion controls
that aie designed to remain in place for an indefinite period, such as mulches
and fiber mats, aie not required to be removed or scheduled for removal.
2. Minimum Contents of the NOT
The NOT form shall require, at a minimum, the following information:
(a) if authorization was granted following submission of a NOI, the permittees
site -specific TPDES general permit number for the construction site;
Page 15
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
(b) an indication of whether the construction .activity. is . completed or if the
permittee is simply no longer an operator at the site;
(c) the name, address and telephone number of the permittee submitting the
NOT;
(d) the name (or other identifier), address, county, and latitude/longitude of the
construction project or site; and
(e) a signed certification that either all storm water discharges requiring
authorization under this general permit will no longer occur, or that the
applicant to terminate coverage is no longer the operator of the facility or
construction site, and that all temporary structural erosion controls have
either been removed, will be removed on a schedule defined in the SWP3, or
transferred to a new operator if the new operator has applied for permit
coverage. Erosion controls that are designed to remain in place for an
indefinite period, such as mulches and fiber mats, are not required to be
removed or scheduled for removal.
Section F. Waivers from Coverage
The executive director may waive the otherwise applicable requirements of this general permit for
stoim water discharges from small construction activities under the terms and conditions described
in this section.
1. Waiver Applicability and Coverage
Operators of small construction activities may apply for and receive a waiver from
the requirements to obtain authorization under this general permit where:
(a) the calculated rainfall erosivity R factor for the entire period of the
construction project is less than five (5);
(b) the operator submits a signed waiver certification form, supplied by the
executive director, certifying that the constriction activity will commence
and be completed within a period when the value of the calculated rainfall
erosivity R factoi is less than five (5); and
(c)
the waiver certification form is submitted to the TCEQ at least two (2) days
before construction activity begins.
2. Effective Date of Waiver
Operators of small construction activities are provisionally waived from the
otherwise applicable requirements of this general permit two (2) days from the date
that a completed waiver certification form is postmarked for delivery to TCEQ.
Page 16
TPDES General Permit TXRI 50000
3. Activities Extending Beyond the Waiver Period
If a construction activity extends beyond the approved waiver period due to
circumstances beyond the control of the operator, the operator must either:
(a) recalculate the rainfall erosivity factor R factor using the original start date
and a new projected ending date, and if the R factor is still under five (5),
submit a new waiver ceitification forun at least two (2) days before the end
of the original waiver period; or
(b) obtain authorization under this general permit according to the requirements
dehneated in either Part II.D.2. or Part II D 3 at least two (2) days before the
end of the approved waiver period.
Section G. Alternative TPDES Permit Coverage
1. Individual Permit Alternative
Any discharge eligible for coverage under this general permit may alternatively be
authorized under an individual TPDES permit according to 30 TAC Chapter 305
(relating to Consolidated Permits) Applications for individual permit coverage
should be submitted at least three hundred and thirty (330) days prior to
commencement of construction activities to ensure timely issuance.
2. Individual Permit Required
The executive director may suspend an authorization or NOI in accordance with the
procedures set forth in 30 TAC Chapter 205, including the requirement that the
executive director provide written notice to the permittee The executive director
may require an operator of a construction site, otherwise eligible for authorization
under this general permit, to apply for an individual TPDES permit because of
(a) the conditions of an approved TMDL or TMDL implementation plan;
(b) the activity is determined to cause a violation of water quality standards or
is found to cause, or contribute to, the loss of a designated use of surface
water in the state: and
(c) any other considerations defined in 30 TAC Chapter 205 would include the
provision at 30 TAC § 205 4(c)(3)(D), which allows TCEQ to deny
authorization under the general permit and require an individual permit if a
discharger "has been determined by the executive director to have been out
of compliance with any rule, order, or permit of the commission, including
non-payment of fees assessed by the executive director."
Page 17
TPDES General Pennit TXR150000
3. Any discharge eligible for authorization under this general permit may alternatively
be authorized under a separate, applicable general permit according to 30 TAC
Chapter 205 (relating to General Permits for Waste Discharges).
Section H. Permit Expiration
This general permit shall be issued for a term not to exceed five (5) years. Following public notice
and continent, as provided by 30 TAC § 205.3 (relating to Public Notice, Public Meetings, and
Public Cornment), the cominission may amend, revolve, cancel, 01 renew this general permit. If the
TCEQ publishes a notice of its intent to renew or amend this general permit before the expiration
date, the permit will remain in effect for existing, authorized, dischaiges until the commission takes
final action on the permit. Upon issuance of a renewed or amended permit, permittees may be
required to submit an NOI within 90 days following the effective date of the renewed or amended
permit, unless that permit provides for an alternative method for obtaining authorization.
In the event that the general permit is not renewed, discharges that are authorized under the general
permit must obtain either a TPDES individual permit d
or coverage under an alternative general
permit.
Part III. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWP3)
Storm water pollution prevention plans must be prepared for storm water discharges that will reach
Waters of the United States, including dischaiges to MS4 systems and privately owned separate
storm sewer systems that drain to Waters of the United States, to identify and address potential
sources of pollution that are reasonably expected to affect the quality of discharges from the
construction site, including off -site material storage areas, overburden and stockpiles of dirt, born ow
areas, equipment staging areas, vehicle repair areas, fueling ai eas, etc., used solely by the permitted
project. The SWP3 must describe and ensure the implementation of practices that will be used to
reduce the pollutants in storm water dischaiges associated with construction activity at the
construction site and assure compliance with the terns and conditions of this permit.
Individual operators at a site may develop separate SWP3s that cover only their portion of the
project provided reference is made to the other operators at the site. Where there is more than one
SWP3 for a site pennittees must coordinate to ensure that BMPs and controls are consistent, and
do not negate or impair the effectiveness of each other Regardless of whether a single
comprehensive SWP3 is developed, or separate SWP3s are developed for each operator, it is the
responsibility of each operator to ensure that compliance with the terms and conditions of this
general permit is met in the areas of the construction site where that operator has operational control
over construction plans and specifications or day-to-day operational control.
Section A. Shared SWP3 Development
For more effective coordination of BMPs and opportunities for cost sharing, a cooperative effort by
the different operators at a site is encouraged. Operators must independently submit an NOI and
obtain authorization, but may work together to prepare and implement a single comprehensive
SWP3 for the entire construction site
Page 18
• TPDES General Permit TXR150000
1. The SWP3 must clearly list the name and, for large construction activities, the
general permit authorization numbers, for each operator that participates in the
shared SWP3. Until the TCEQ responds to receipt of the NOI with a general permit
authorization number, the SWP3 must specify the date that the NOI was submitted
to TCEQ by each operator. Each participant in the shared plan must also sign the
SWP3.
2. The SWP3 must clearly indicate which operator is responsible for satisfying each
shared requirement of the SWP3. If the responsibility for satisfying a requirement
is not described in the plan, then each permittee is entirely responsible for meeting
the requirement within the boundaries of the construction site where they perform
construction activities. The SWP3 must clearly describe responsibilities for meeting
each requirement in shared or common areas.
Section B. Responsibilities of Operators
1. Operators with Control Over Construction Plans and Specifications
All operators with operational control over construction plans and specifications to
the extent necessary to meet the requirements and conditions of this general permit
must:
ensure the project specifications allow or provide that adequate BMPs may
be developed to meet the requirements of Part III of this general permit;
ensure that the SWP3 indicates the areas of the project where they have
operational control over project specifications (including the ability to make
modifications in specifications);
ensure all other operators affected by modifications in project specifications
are notified in a timely manner such that those operators may modify best
management practices as are necessary to remain compliant with the
conditions of this general permit; and
(d) ensure that the SWP3 for portions of the project where they are operators
indicates the name and TPDES permit numbers for perrnittees with the day-
to-day operational control over those activities necessary to ensure
compliance with the SWP3 and other permit conditions. In the case that
responsible parties have not been identified, the permittee with operational
control over project specifications must be considered to be the responsible
party until such time as the authority is transferred to another party and the
plan is updated.
Page 19
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
2. Operators with Day -to -Day Operational Control
Operators with day-to-day operational control of those activities at a project that are
necessary to ensure compliance with a SWP3 and other permit conditions must:

meets the requirements of this general permit.
•
(b) ensure that the SWP3 identifies the parties responsible for implementation
of best management practices described in the plan;
(c) ensure that the SWP3 indicates areas of the project where they have
operational control over day-to-day activities'
(d) ensure that the SWP3 indicates, for areas where they have operational control
over day-to-day activities, the name and TPDES permit number of the parties
with operational control over project specifications (including the ability to
make modifications in specifications),

1. The SWP3 must be:
(a) completed prior to obtaining authorization under this general permit;
(b) implemented prior to commencing construction activities that result in soil
disturbance;
(c) updated as necessary to reflect the changing conditions of new operators,
new areas of responsibility and changes in best management practices; and
(d) prepared so that it provides for compliance with the terms and conditions of
this general permit.
Section D. Plan Review and Making Plans Available
The SWP3 must be retained on -site at the construction site or, if the site is inactive
or does not have an on -site location to store the plan, a notice must be posted
describing the location of the SWP3. The SWP3 must be made readily available at
the time of an on -site inspection to: the executive director; a federal, state, or local
agency approving sediment and erosion plans, grading plans, or storm water
management plans; local government officials; and the operator of a municipal
separate storn sewer receiving discharges from the site.
2. Operators of a large constriction activity obtaining authorization to discharge
through submission of a NOI must post a notice near the main entrance of the
Page 20
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
construction site. If the construction project is a linear construction project (e.g.
pipeline, highway, etc.), the notice must be placed in a publicly accessible location
near where construction is actively underway. Notice for these linear sites may be
relocated, as necessary, along the length Of the project The notice must be readily
available for viewing by the general public, local, state and federal authorities, and
contain the following information:
(a) the TPDES general permit number for the project (or a copy of the NOI that
was submitted to the TCEQ if a permit number has not yet been assigned);
(b) the name and telephone number of a representative for the operator;
(c) a brief description of the project; and
(d) the location of the SWP3.
3. This permit does not provide the general public with any right to trespass on a
construction site for any reason, including inspection of a site; nor does this permit
require that permittees allow members of the general public access to a construction
site.
Section E
The permittee
Keeping Plans Current
must revise or update the storm water pollution prevention plan whenever:
there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance that has a
significant effect on the discharge of pollutants and that has not been previously
addressed in the SWP3; or
2. results of inspections or investigations by site operators, operators of a municipal
separate storm sewer system receiving the discharge authorized TCEQ personnel,
or a federal, state or local agency approving sediment and erosion plans indicate the
SWP3 is proving ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in
discharges authorized under this general permit.
Section F. Contents of SWP3
The SWP3 must include, at a minimum, the information described in this section.
1.
A site description, or project description must be developed to include:

The SWP3 must describe the best management practices that will be used to
minimize pollution in runoff The description must identify the general timing or
sequence foi implementation At a minimum, the description must include the
following components:
(a) Erosion and Sediment Controls
(i)
Erosion and sediment controls must be designed to retain sediment
on -site to the extent practicable with consideration for local
Page 22
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
topography soil type, and rainfall. Controls must also be designed
and utilized to reduce the offsite transport of suspended sediments
and other pollutants if it is necessary to pump or channel standing
water from the site.
(ii) Control measures must be properly selected, installed, and
maintained according to ..the -.manufacturer's or designer's
specifications. If periodic inspections or other information indicates
a control has been used incorrectly, or that the control is performing
inadequately, the operator must ieplace or modify the control as soon
as practicable after discovery that the control has been used
incorrectly, is performing inadequately, or is damaged.
(iii) Sediment must be removed from sediment traps and sedimentation
ponds no later than the time that design capacity has been reduced by
50%.
(iv) If sediment escapes the site, accumulations must be removed at a
frequency to minimize further negative effects, and whenever
feasible, prior to the next rain event.
(v) Controls must be developed to limit, to the extent practicable, offsite
transport of litter, construction debris, and construction materials.
(b) Stabilization Practices
The SWP3 must include a description of interim and permanent stabilization
practices for the site, including a schedule of when the practices will be
implemented Site plans should ensure that existing vegetation is preserved
where it is possible.
(i)
Stabilization practices may include but are not limited to:
establishment of temporary vegetation establishment of permanent
vegetation, mulching geotextiles, sod stabilization, vegetative buffer
strips, protection of existing trees and vegetation, and other similar
measures.
(ii) The following records must be maintained and either attached to or
referenced in the SWP3, and made readily available upon request to
the parties in Part III.D.1. of this general permit:
(a) the dates when major grading activities occur;
(b) the dates when construction activities temporarily or
permanently cease on a portion of the site; and
Page 23
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
(c) the dates when stabilization measures are initiated.
(iii) Stabilization measures must be initiated as soon as practicable in
portions of the site where construction activities have temporarily or
permanently ceased, and except as provided in (a) through (c) below,
must be initiated no mole than fourteen (14) days after the
construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or
permanently ceased.
(a) Where the initiation of stabilization measures by the 14th day
after construction activity temporarily or permanently ceased
is precluded by snow cover or frozen ground conditions,
stabilization measures must be initiated as soon as
practicable.
(b) Where construction activity on a portion of the site is
temporarily ceased, and earth disturbing activities will be
resumed within twenty-one (21) days, temporary stabilization
measures do not have to be initiated on that portion of site.
(c)
In arid areas (areas with an average rainfall of 0 to 10 inches),
semiarid areas (areas with an average annual rainfall of 10 to
20 inches), and areas experiencing droughts where the
initiation of stabilization measures by the 14th day after
construction activity has temporarily or permanently ceased
is precluded by seasonably arid conditions stabilization
measures must be initiated as soon as practicable.
3. Structural Control Practices
The SWP3 must include a description of any structural control practices used to
divert flows away from exposed soils, to limit the contact of runoff with disturbed
areas or to lessen the off -site transport of eroded soils
(a) Sediment basins are required, where feasible for common drainage locations
that serve an area with ten (10) or more acies disturbed at one time, a
temporary (or permanent) sediment basin that provides storage for a
calculated volume of runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour storm from each
distuibed acre drained, or equivalent control measures, shall be provided
where attainable until final stabilization of the site. Where rainfall data is not
available or a calculation cannot be performed, a temporary (or permanent)
sediment basin providing 3,600 cubic feet of storage per acre drained is
required where attainable until final stabilization of the site. When
calculating the volume of runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour storm event, it is not
required to include the flows from offsite areas and flow from onsite areas
that are either undisturbed or have already undergone final stabilization, if
Page 24
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
these flows are diverted around both the disturbed areas of the site and the
sediment basin In determining whether installing a sediment basin is
feasible, the permittee may consider factors such as site soils, slope, available
area on site, public safety, piecipitation patterns, site geometry, site
vegetation, infiltration capacity, geotechnical factors, depth to groundwater
and other similar considerations. Where sediment basins are not feasible
equivalent control measures , which may include a series of smaller sediment
basins, must be used At a minimum, silt fences, vegetative buffer strips, or
equivalent sediment controls are required for all down slope boundaries (and
for those side slope boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual
site conditions) of the construction area.
(b) Sediment traps and sediment basins may also be used to control solids in
storm water runoff for drainage locations serving less than ten (10) acres. At
a minimum, silt fences, vegetative buffer strips, or equivalent sediment
controls are required for all down slope boundaries (and for those side slope
boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site conditions) of
the construction. Alternatively, a sediment basin that provides storage for a
calculated volume of runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour stoim from each
disturbed acre drained, or equivalent control measures, may be provided or
where rainfall data is not available or a calculation cannot be performed, a
temporary (or permanent) sediment basin providing 3,600 cubic feet of
storage per acre drained may be provided.
4. Permanent Storm Water Controls
A description of any measures that will be installed during the construction process
to control pollutants in storm water discharges that will occur after construction
operations have been completed must be included in the SWP3. Pennittees are only
responsible for the installation and maintenance of storm water management
measures prior to final stabilization of the site or prior to submission of an NOT.
5. Other Controls
(a) Off -site vehicle tracking of sediments and the generation of dust must be
minimized
(b) The SWP3 must include a description of construction and waste materials
expected to be stored on -site and a description of controls to reduce
pollutants from these materials.
(c) The SWP3 must include a description of pollutant sources from areas other
than construction (including stone water discharges from dedicated asphalt
plants and dedicated concrete plants), and a description of controls and
measures that will be implemented at those sites to minimize pollutant
discharges.
Page 25
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
(d) Velocity dissipation devices shall be placed at discharge locations and along
the length of any outfall channel to provide a non -erosive flow velocity from
the structure to a water course so that the natural physical and biological
characteristics and functions are maintained and protected.
6. Approved State and Local Plans
(a)
Pernittees must ensure the SWP3 is consistent with requirements specified
in applicable sediment and erosion site plans or site permits, or storm water
management site plans or site permits approved by federal, state, or local
officials.
(b) SWP3s must be updated as necessary to remain consistent with any changes
applicable to protecting surface water resources in sediment erosion site
plans or site permits or stone water management site plans or site permits
approved by state or local official for which the permittee receives written
notice.
7. Maintenance
All erosion and sediment control measures and other protective measures identified
in the SWP3 must be maintained in effective operating condition. If through
inspections the permittee determines that BMPs are not operating effectively,
maintenance must be performed before the next anticipated storm event or as
necessary to maintain the continued effectiveness of storm water controls. If
maintenance prior to the next anticipated storm event is impracticable, maintenance
must be scheduled and accomplished as soon as practicable. Erosion and sediment
controls that have been intentionally disabled, run -over, removed, or otherwise
rendered ineffective must be replaced or corrected immediately upon discovery.
8. Inspections of Controls
In the event of flooding or other uncontrollable situations which prohibit access to
the inspection sites, inspections rnust be conducted as soon as access is practicable
(a) Personnel provided by the pennittee and familiar with the SWP3 must
inspect disturbed areas of the construction site that have not been finally
stabilized, areas used for storage, of materials that are exposed to
precipitation, and structural controls for evidence of or the potential for,
pollutants entering the drainage system. Sediment and erosion control
measures identified in the SWP3 must be inspected to ensure that they are
operating correctly Locations where vehicles enter or exit the site must be
inspected for evidence of off -site sediment tracking. Inspections must be
conducted at least once every fourteen (14) calendar days and within twenty
four (24) hours of the end of a storm event of 0.5 inches or greater.
Page 26
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
Where sites have been finally or temporarily stabilized, where runoff is
unlikely due to winter conditions (e.g. site is coveted with snow, ice or
frozen ground exists), or during seasonal arid periods in arid areas (areas
with an average annual rainfall of 0 to 10 inches) and semi -arid areas (areas
with an average annual rainfall of 10 to 20 inches), inspections must be
conducted at least once every month
As an alternative to the above -described inspection schedule of once every
fourteen (14) calendar days and within twenty four (24) hours of a storm
event of 0.5 inches or greater, the SWP3 may be developed to require that
these inspections will occur at least once every seven (7) calendar days. If
this alternative schedule is developed, the inspection must occur on a
specifically defined day regardless of whether or not there has been a rainfall
event since the previous inspection
(b) Utility line installation, pipeline construction, and other examples of long,
narrow linear construction activities may provide inspection personnel with
limited access to the areas described in Part III.F.8.(a) above. Inspection of
these areas could require that vehicles compiomise temporarily or even
permanently stabilized areas, cause additional disturbance of soils, and
mcrease the potential for erosion. In these circumstances, controls must be
inspected at least once every fourteen (14) calendar days and within twenty
four (24) hours of the end of a stone event of 0.5 inches, but representative
inspections may be performed. For representative inspections, personnel
must inspect controls along the construction site for 0 25 mile above and
below each access point where a roadway, undisturbed right-of-way, or other
similar feature intersects the construction site and allows access to the areas
described in Part III.F.8 (a) above The conditions of the controls along each
inspected 0.25 mile segment may be considered as representative of the
condition of controls along that reach extending from the end of the 0.25 mile
segment to either the end of the next 0.25 mile inspected segment, or to the
end of the project whichever. occurs. first.
(c)
As an alternative to the above -described inspection schedule of once every
fourteen (14) calendar days and within twenty four (24) hours of a storm
event of 0 5 inches or greater, the SWP3 may be developed to require that
these inspections will occur at least once every seven (7) calendar days. If
this alternative schedule is developed, the inspection must occur on a
specifically defined day regardless of whether or not there has been a rainfall
event since the previous inspection.
The SWP3 must be modified based on the results of inspections, as
necessary, to better control pollutants in runoff. Revisions to the SWP3 must
be completed within seven (7) calendar days following the inspection. If
existing BMPs are modified or if additional BMPs are necessary, an
implementation schedule must be described in the SWP3 and wherever
Page 27
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
possible those changes implemented before the next storm event. If
implementation before the next anticipated storm event is impracticable,
these changes must be implemented as soon as practicable.
(d) A report summarizing the scope of the inspection, naives and qualifications
of personnel making the inspection the dates of the inspection, and major
observations relating to the implementation of the SWP3 must be made and
retained as part of the SWP3. Major observations should include: The
locations of discharges of sediment or other pollutants fiom the site;
locations of BMPs that need to be maintained; locations of BMPs that failed
to operate as designed or proved inadequate for a particular location; and
locations where additional BMPs are needed.
Actions taken as a result of inspections must be described within, and
retained as a part of, the SWP3 Reports must identify any incidents of non-
compliance. Where a report does not identify any incidents of non-
compliance, the report must contain a certification that the facility or site is
in compliance with the SWP3 and this permit. The report must be signed by
the person and in the manner required by 30 TAC § 305.128 (relating to
Signatories to Reports)
9. The SWP3 must identify and ensure the implementation of appropriate pollution
prevention measures foi all eligible non -storm water components of the discharge.
Part IV. Numeric Effluent Limitations
Section A. Limitations
All discharges of storm water runoff from concrete batch plants that qualify for coverage, and that
are autho_ized to discharge storm water under the ptnv_sions of this general permit m„ st he
monitored at the following monitoring frequency and comply with the following numeric effluent
limitations:

Results of monitoring for determining compliance with numeric effluent limitations must be
recorded on a discharge monitoring report (DMR). The DMR must either be an original EPA No.
3320-1 form (Attachment 3 of this general permit), a duplicate of the form, or as otherwise pi ovided
by the executive director. Monitoring must be conducted prior to December 31' for each annual
Page 28
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
monitoring period. A copy of the DMR must either be retained at the facility or shall be made
readily available for review by authorized TCEQ personnel upon request, by March 31' following
the end of each annual monitoring period. If the results indicate the violation of one or more of
these numeric limitations, the pennittee must also submit the DMR to the TCEQ's Information
Resources Center (MC 212) by March 3151 of each annual monitoring period.
Part V. Retention of Records
The permittee must retain the following records for a minimum period of three (3) years from the
date that a NOT is submitted as required by Part II.D. For activities that are not required to submit
an NOT, records shall be retained for a minimum period of three (3) years from the date that either:
final stabilization has been achieved on all portions of the site that is the responsibility of the
permittee; or another permitted operator has assumed control according to over all areas of the site
that have not been finally stabilized Records include:
1. A copy of the SWP3 plan.
2. All reports and actions required by this permit, including a copy of the construction
site notice.
3. All data used to complete the NOI, if an NOI is required for coverage under this
general permit.
Part VI. Standard Permit Conditions
The permittee has a duty to comply with all permit conditions. Failure to comply with any
permit condition is a violation of the permit and statutes under which it was issued, and is
grounds for enforcement action, for terminating coverage under this general permit, or for
requiring a discharger to apply for and obtain an individual TPDES permit.
2. Authorization under this general permit may be suspended or revoked for cause. Filing a
,otice of planked changes or anticipated non-compliance by the permittee does not stay any
permit condition The permittee must furnish to the executive director, upon request and
within a reasonable time, any information necessary for the executive director to determine
whether cause exists for revoking, suspending, or terminating authorization under this
permit. Additionally the permittee must provide to the executive director, upon request,
copies of all records that the pennittee is required to maintain as a condition of this general

D Use sufficient trench width or benches above the embedment zone for installation of well
point headers or manifolds and pumps where depth of trench makes it uneconomical or
impractical to pump from the surface elevation. Piovide sufficient space between
shoring cross braces to pelntit equipment operations and handling of forms, pipe,
embedment and backfll, and other materials.
E Upon discovery of unknown utilities, badly deteriorated utilities not designated for
removal, or concealed conditions, discontinue work at that location. Notify the Engineer
and obtain instructions before proceeding.
F Shoring of Trench Walls.
1. Install Special Shoring in advance of trench excavation or simultaneously with
the trench excavation, so that the soils within the full height of the trench
excavation walls will remain fully laterally supported at all times.
02318-14
CITY OF PEARLAND EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL FOR UTILITIES
2. For all types of shoring, support trench walls in the pipe embedment zone
throughout the installation. Provide trench wall supports sufficiently tight to
prevent washing the trench wall soil out from behind the trench wall support.
3. Unless otherwise directed by the Engineer, leave sheeting diiven into or below
the pipe embedment zone in place to preclude loss of support of foundation and
embedment materials. Leave rangers, waters, and braces in place as long as
required to support sheeting, which has been cut off, and the trench wall in the
vicinity of the pipe zone.
4. Employ special methods for maintaining the integrity of embedment or
foundation material. Before moving supports, place and compact embedment to
sufficient depths to provide protection of pipe and stability of trench walls. As
supports are moved finish placing and compacting embedment.
5. If sheeting or other shoring is used below top of the pipe embedment zone, do
not disturb pipe foundation and embedment materials by subsequent removal.
Maximum thickness of removable sheeting extending into the embedment zone 1
inch Fill voids left on removal of supports with compacted backfill material.
G Use of Trench Shields. When a trench shield (trench box) is used as a worker safety
device, the following requirements apply:
1. Make trench excavations of sufficient width to allow shield to be lifted or pulled
freely, without damage to the trench sidewalls.
2. Move trench shields so that pipe, and backfill materials, after placement and
compaction, are not damaged nor disturbed, nor the degree of compaction
reduced.
3. When required, place, spread, and compact pipe foundation and bedding
materials beneath the shield. For backfill above bedding move the shield as
backfill is placed and ramped in. Place and compact backfill materials against
undisturbed trench walls and foundation.
4. Maintain trench shield in position to allow sampling and testing to be performed
in a safe manner.
3.04 HANDLING EXCAVATED MATERIALS

3.10 SOURCES OF UTILITY BACKFILL MATERIALS
A Use of material encountered in the trench excavations is acceptable, provided applicable
specification requirements are satisfied If excavation material is not acceptable, provide
from other approved source.
B Identify off -site sources for backfill materials at least 14 days ahead of intended use so
that the Engineer may obtain samples for verification testing.
C Obtain approval for each material source by the Engineer before delivery is started. If
sources previously approved do not produce unifoiui and satisfactory products, furnish
materials from other approved sources. Materials may be subjected to inspection or
additional verification testing after delivery. Materials which do not meet the
requirements of the specifications will be rejected. Do not use material which, after
approval, has become unsuitable for use due to segregation, mixing with other materials,
or by contamination. Once a material is approved by the Engineer, expense for sampling
and testing required to change to a different material will be credited to the City through
a change order.
D Bank run sand, select backfill, and random backfill, if available in the project excavation,
may be obtained by selective excavation and acceptance testing Obtain additional
quantities of these materials and other materials required to complete the work from off -
site sources.
E The City does not represent or guarantee that any soil found in the excavation work will
be suitable and acceptable as backfill material.
3.11 MATERIAL HANDLING
A When backfill material is obtained from either a commercial or non-commercial borrow
pit, open the pit to expose the vertical faces of the various strata for identification and
selection of approved material to be used. Excavate the selected material by vertical cuts
extending through the exposed strata to achieve uniformity in the product.
B Establish temporary stockpile locations for practical material handling and control, and
verification testing by the Engineer in advance of final placement. Obtain approval from
landowner for storage of backfill material on adjacent private property.
C When stockpiling backfill material near the project site, use appropriate methods to
eliminate blowing of materials into adjacent areas and prevent runoff containing
sediments from entering the drainage system.
D Place stockpiles in layers to avoid segregation of processed materials. Load material by
making successive vertical cuts through entire depth of stockpile.

for plasticity characteristics, in accordance with ASTM D 4318, and for gradation
characteristics, in accordance with Tex-101-F and Tex-110-E Additional classification
tests will be performed whenever there is a noticeable change in material gradation or
plasticity.
E At least three tests for moisture -density relationships will be performed initially for
backfill materials in accordance with ASTM D 698, and for cement- stabilized sand in
accordance with ASTM D 558. Additional moisture -density relationship tests will be
perfouned whenever there is a noticeable change in material gradation or plasticity.
F In -place density tests of compacted pipe foundation, embedment and trench zone backfill
soil materials will be perfoiined according to ASTM D 1556, or ASTM D 2922 and
ASTM D 3017, and at the following frequencies and conditions.
1. A minimum of one test for every 20 cubic yards of compacted embedment and
for every 50 cubic yards of compacted trench zone backfill material.
2. A minimum of three density tests for each full shift of Work when backfill is
placed.
3. Density tests will be distributed among the placement areas. Placement areas
are: foundation, bedding haunching initial backfill and trench zone.
4. The number of tests will be increased if inspection determines that soil type or
moisture content are not uniform or if compacting effort is variable and not
considered sufficient to attain uniform density, as specified.
5. Density tests may be performed at various depths below the fill surface by pit

inch in 10 feet, provided such variation is regular and only in one direction and that final
grade of flow line is in direction indicated on plans.
I Use cutting edge of steel plate around head end of pipe extending short distance beyond
end of pipe with inside angles or lugs to keep cutting edge from slipping back onto pipe.
J Once jacking of pipe is begun, carry on without interruption to prevent pipe from
becoming firmly set in embankment.

3.05 INSULATOR INSTALLATION
A There must be no inadvertent metallic contact between casing and metallic carrier pipe.
Spacing of spacers should ensure that carrier pipe is adequately supported throughout its
length, particularly at ends, to offset settling and possible electrical shorting. End spacer
must be within 6 inches of end of casing pipe, regardless of size of casing and carrier
pipe or type of spacer used. Casing spacers are designed to withstand much greater loads
than can be safely applied to most coatings. Therefore, spacing between spacers depends
largely on load bearing capabilities of pipe coating and flexibility of pipe.
B Bottom of trench adjacent to each end of casing should be graded to provide firm,
uniform and continuous support for carrier pipe. If trench requires some backfill to
establish final trench bottom grade, backfill material should be placed in 6-inch lifts and
each layer properly compacted.
C Casing spacers should be installed in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
Special care should be taken to ensure that all subcomponents are correctly assembled
and evenly tightened, and that no damage occurs during tightening of insulators or canier
pipe insertion.
D Annulus between carrier pipe and casing should be sealed with casing end seals at each
end of casing.
E Insulator Spacing:
1. Spacing shall be as shown on Drawing with maximum distance between spacers
to be 10 feet for pipe sizes 4 to 14 inches and 8 feet for pipe sizes 16 to 30 inches.
2. For ductile iron pipe, flanged pipe, or bell -and -spigot pipe, spacers should be
installed within one foot on each side of bell or flange and one in center of joint
when 18- to 20-foot-long joints are used.

it until it clears pipe ends Wrap polyethylene around pipe so that it
circumferentially overlaps top quadrant of pipe. Secure cut edge of polyethylene
sheet at intervals of approximately 3 feet.
2. Lower wrapped pipe into trench and make up pipe joint with preceding section of
pipe. Make shallow bell hole at joints to facilitate installation of polyethylene.
After completing joint, make overlap and secure ends
3. Repair cuts, tears punctures, or other damage to polyethylene. Proceed with
installation of next section of pipe in same manner.
E Pipe -shaped Appurtenances: Cover bends, reducers, offsets, and other pipe -shaped
appurtenances with polyethylene in same manner as pipe.
F Odd -shaped Appurtenances: When it is not practical to wrap valves, tees, crosses, and
other odd -shaped pieces in tube, wrap with flat sheet or split length of polyethylene tube
by passing sheet under appurtenance and bringing it up around body Make seams by
bringing edges together folding over twice, and taping down Tape polyethylene
securely in place at valve stem and other penetrations
G Repairs: Repair any cuts, tears, punctures, or damage to polyethylene with adhesive tape
or with short length of polyethylene sheet or cut open tube, wrapped around pipe to
cover damaged area, and secured in place.
H Openings in Encasement: Provide openings for branches, service taps, blowoffs, air
valves, and similar appurtenances by making an X-shaped cut in polyethylene and
temporarily folding back film. After appurtenance is installed, tape slack securely to

recess with sealant to prevent contact with water or other corrosive
materials.
c. Unless noted otherwise, match mechanical coupler spacing and capacity
to that shown for the adjacent reinforcing.
H Construction Joints: Place reinforcing continuous through construction joints, unless
noted otherwise.
Welded Wire Fabric. Install wire fabric in as long lengths as practicable. Unless
otherwise indicated on Drawings, lap adjoining pieces at least 6 inches or one full mesh
plus 2 inches, whichever is larger. Lace splices with wire. Do not make end laps
midway between supporting beams, or directly over beams of continuous structures.
Offset end laps in adjacent widths to prevent continuous laps. Confonlln to WRI - Manual
of Standard Practice for Welded Wire Fabric.
Field Bending: Shape reinforcing bent during construction operations to confonnu to
Drawings. Bars shall be cold -bent, do not heat bars. Closely inspect reinforcing for
breaks. When reinforcing is damaged, replace, Cadweld, or otherwise repair as directed
by the Engineer. Do not bend reinforcement after it is embedded in concrete.

3.08 HANDLING, TRANSPORTING AND PLACING CONCRETE
04/2002
A Confoiin to applicable requirements of Chapter 8 of ACI 301 and this Section. Use no
aluminum materials in conveying concrete.
B Rejected Work: Remove concrete found to be defective or non -conforming in materials
or workmanship. Replace rejected concrete with concrete meeting requirements of
Contract Documents, at no additional cost to the Owner.
C Unauthorized Placement: Place no concrete except in the presence of the Engineer.
Notify the Engineer in writing at least 24 hours before placement of concrete.
D Placement in Wall Forms:
1. Do not drop concrete through reinforcing steel.
2. Do not place concrete in any form so as to leave an accumulation of mortar on
foiiu surfaces above the concrete.
3. Pump concrete or use hoppers and, if necessary, vertical ducts of canvas, rubber
or metal (other than aluminum) for placing concrete in foul's so it reaches the
place of final deposit without separation. Free fall of concrete shall not exceed 4
03300-19
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST -IN -PLACE CONCRETE
feet below the ends of pump hoses, ducts, chutes or buggies. Unifounly
distribute concrete during depositing.
4. Do not displace concrete in foims more than 6 feet in horizontal direction from
place where it was originally deposited.
5 Deposit in unifoini horizontal layers not deeper than 2 feet; take care to avoid
inclined layers or inclined construction joints except where required for sloping
members.
6. Place each layer while the previous layer is still soft.
7 Provide sufficient illumination in foiui interior so concrete at places of deposit is
visible from the deck or runway.
E Conveyors and Chutes: Design and arrange ends of chutes, hopper gates and other points
of concrete discharge in the conveying, hoisting and placing system so concrete passing
from them will not fall separated into whatever receptacle immediately receives it.
Conveyors, if used, shall be of a type acceptable to the Engineer. Do not use chutes
longer than 50 feet. Slope chutes so concrete of specified consistency will readily flow.
If a conveyor is used, it shall be wiped clean by a device operated in such a manner that
none of the mortar adhering to the belt will be wasted. All conveyors and chutes shall be
covered.
F Placement of Slabs: In hot or windy weather, conducive to plastic shrinkage cracks,
apply evaporation retardant to slab after screeding in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions and recommendations. Do not use evaporation retardant to increase water
content of the surface cement paste. Place concrete for sloping slabs uniformly from the
bottom of the slab to the top, for the full width of the placement. As work progresses,
vibrate and carefully work concrete around slab reinforcement. Screed the slab surface in
an up -slope direction.
G When adverse weather conditions affect quality of concrete, postpone concrete
placement Do not mix concrete when the air temperature is at or below 40 degrees F
and falling. Concrete may be mixed when temperature is 35 degrees F and using Take
temperature readings in the shade, away from artificial heat. Protect concrete from
temperatures below 32 degrees F until the concrete has cured for a minimum of 3 days at
70 degrees F or 5 days at 50 degrees F.
When concrete temperature is 85 degrees F or above, do not exceed 60 minutes between
introduction of cement to the aggregates and discharge. When the weather is such that
the concrete temperature would exceed 90 degrees F, employ effective means, such as
pre -cooling of aggregates and mixing water, using ice or placing at night, as necessary to
maintain concrete temperature, as placed, below 90 degrees F.
3.09 PUMPING OF CONCRETE
A If pumped concrete does not produce satisfactory results, in the judgment of the
Engineer, discontinue pumping operations and proceed with the placing of concrete using
conventional methods
04/2002 03300-20
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST -IN -PLACE CONCRETE
B Pumping Equipment: Use a 2-cylinder pump designed to operate with only one cylinder
if one is not functioning, or have a standby pump on site during pumping.
C The minimum hose (conduit) diameter: Comply with ACI 304.2R.
D Replace pumping equipment and hoses (conduits) that do not function properly.
E Do not use aluminum conduits for conveying concrete.
F Field Control: Take samples for slump, air content and test cylinders at the placement
(discharge) end of the line.
3.10 CONCRETE PLACEMENT SEQUENCE
A Place concrete in a sequence acceptable to the Engineer. To minimize effects of
shrinkage, place concrete in units bounded by construction joints shown. Place alternate
units so each unit placed has cured at least 7 days for hydraulic structures or 3 days for
other structures, before contiguous unit or units are placed, except do not place corner
sections of vertical walls until the 2 adjacent wall panels have cured at least 14 days for
hydraulic structures and 7 days for other structures.
B Level the concrete surface whenever a run of concrete is stopped. To ensure straight and
level joints on the exposed surface of walls, tack a wood strip at least 3/4-inch thick to
the forms on these surfaces. Carry concrete about 1/2 inch above the underside of the
strip. About one hour after concrete is placed, remove the strip, level irregularities in the
edge formed by the strip with a trowel and remove laitance.
3.11 TAMPING AND VIBRATING
A Thoroughly settle and compact concrete throughout the entire depth of the layer being
consolidated, into a dense, homogeneous mass; fill corners and angles, thoroughly embed
reinforcement, eliminate rock pockets and bring only a slight excess of water to the
exposed surface of concrete during placement. Use ACI 309R Group 3 immersion -type
high-speed power vibrators (8,000 to 12,000 rpm) in sufficient number and with
sufficient (at least one) standby units. Use Group 2 vibrators only when accepted by the
Engineer for specific locations. Do not transport concrete by vibrating.
B Use care in placing concrete around waterstops. Carefully work concrete by rodding and
vibrating to make sure air and rock pockets have been eliminated. Where flat -strip type
waterstops are placed horizontally, work concrete under waterstops by hand, making sure
air and rock pockets have been eliminated. Give concrete surrounding the waterstops
additional vibration beyond that used for adjacent concrete placement to assure complete
embedment of waterstops in concrete.
C Concrete in Walls: Internally vibrate ram, stir, or work with suitable appliances,
tamping bars, shovels or forked tools until concrete completely fills finals or excavations
and closes snugly against all surfaces. Do not place subsequent layers of concrete until
previously -placed layers have been so worked Provide vibrators in sufficient numbers,
04/2002 03300-21
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST -IN -PLACE CONCRETE
with standby units as required, to accomplish the results specified within 15 minutes after
concrete of specified consistency is placed in the fonnns. Keep vibrating heads from
contact with foul surfaces. Take care not to vibrate concrete excessively or to work it in
any manner that causes segregation of its constituents.
3.12 PLACING MASS CONCRETE
A Observe the following additional restrictions when placing mass concrete.
1. Use specified superplasticizer.
2. Maximum temperature of concrete when deposited: 70 degrees F.
3. Place in lifts approximately 18 inches thick. Extend vibrator heads into
previously -placed layer.

04/2002 03300-22
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST -IN -PLACE CONCRETE
bring surface paste, remove foiin marks and fins, and produce smooth, dense
surface of uniform color and texture. Do not use cement paste other than that
drawn from concrete itself. Spread paste uniformly over surface with brush.
Allow paste to reset, then wash surface with clean water.
3. Use rubbed finish at locations indicated on Drawings, except where rubbed finish
is indicated for a wall which will be containing a liquid, use spray -applied
coating.
E Spray -applied Coating: At Contractor's option, in lieu of rubbed finish, spray -applied
coating may be applied after defects have been repaired and fins removed. Remove fouin
oil, curing compound and other foreign matter that would prevent bonding of coating.
Apply coating in unifoini texture and color in accordance with coating manufacturer's
instructions.
F Related Unformed Surfaces: Tops of piers, walls, bent caps, and similar unformed
surfaces occurring adjacent to formed surfaces shall be struck smooth after concrete is
placed. Float unformed surfaces to texture reasonably consistent with that of formed
surfaces. Continue final treatment on foamed surfaces unifoimnly across unformed
surfaces.
3.15 HOT WEATHER FINISHING

A Comply with ACI 308. Cure by preventing loss of moisture, rapid temperature change
and mechanical injury for a period of 7 curing days when Type II or 1 N cement has been
used and for 3 curing days when Type TTT cement has been used Start curing as soon as
free water has disappeared from the concrete surface after placing and finishing. A
curing day is any calendar day in which the temperature is above 50 degrees F for at least
19 hours. Colder days may be counted if air temperature adjacent to concrete is
maintained above 50 degrees F. In continued cold weather, when artificial heat is not
provided, removal of forms and shoring may be peinnitted at the end of calendar days
equal to twice the required number of curing days. However, leave soffit forms and
shores in place until concrete has reached the specified 28-day strength, unless directed
otherwise by the Engineer.

D Unfonnned Surfaces: Cure by membrane curing compound method.
1. After concrete has received a final finish and surplus water sheen has
disappeared, immediately seal surface with a uniform coating of approved curing
compound, applied at the rate of coverage recommended by manufacturer or as
directed by the Engineer. Do not apply less than 1 gallon per 180 square feet of
area. Provide satisfactory means to properly control and check rate of application
of the compound.
2. Thoroughly agitate the compound during use and apply by means of approved
mechanical power pressure sprayers equipped with atomizing nozzles. For
application on small miscellaneous items, hand -powered spray equipment may be
used Prevent loss of compound between nozzle and concrete surface during
spraying operations.
3. Do not apply compound to a dry surface. If concrete surface has become dry,
thoroughly moisten surface immediately prior to application. At locations where
coating shows discontinuities, pinholes or other defects, or if rain falls on a newly
coated surface before film has dried sufficiently to resist damage, apply an
additional coat of compound at the specified rate of coverage.

3.27 CURING MASS CONCRETE
A Observe the following additional restrictions when curing mass concrete.
1 Minimum curing period: 2 weeks.
2. When ambient air temperature falls below 32 degrees F, protect surface of
concrete against freezing.
3. Do not use steam or other curing methods that will add heat to concrete.
4. Keep foul's and exposed concrete continuously wet for at least the first 48 hours
after placing, and whenever surrounding air temperature is above 90 degrees F
during final curing period.
5. During 2-week curing period provide necessary controls to prevent ambient air
temperature immediately adjacent to concrete from falling more than 30
degrees F in 24 hours
3.28 REMOVAL OF FORMS
A Time Limits:
1. When repair of surface defects or finishing is required before concrete is aged,
forms on vertical surfaces may be removed as soon as concrete has hardened
sufficiently to resist damage from removal operations.
2. Remove top farms on sloping surfaces of concrete as soon as concrete has
attained sufficient stiffness to prevent sagging Loosen wood forms for wall
openings as soon as this can be accomplished without damage to concrete Leave
formwork for water -retaining structures in place for at least 2 days. Formwork
for non -water -retaining columns, walls, sides of beams and other formwork
components not supporting weight of concrete may be removed after 12 hours,
provided concrete has hardened sufficiently to resist damage from removal
operations, and provided removal of foul's will not disturb members supporting
weight of concrete.
3. Forms and shoring supporting weight of concrete or construction loads* Leave in
place until concrete has reached minimum strength specified for removal of
forms and shoring. Do not remove such forms in less than 4 days.
B Circular Paper or Spiral Tube Fonns: Follow manufacturer's directions for form
removal. Take necessary precautions to prevent damage to concrete surface. When
removal is done before completion of curing time, replace form, tie in place and seal to
retard escape of moisture
C Removal Strength.
1. Control Tests: Suitable strength -control tests will be required as evidence that
concrete has attained specified strength for removal of formwork or shoring
supporting weight of concrete in beams, slabs and other structural members.
Furnish test cylinders and data to verify strength for early four removal.
a Field -cured Test Cylinders: When field -cured test cylinders reach
specified removal strength, formwork or shoring may be removed from
respective concrete placements.
04/2002 03300-30
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST -IN -PLACE CONCRETE
b. Laboratory -cured Test Cylinders: When concrete has been cured as
specified for structural concrete for same time period required by
laboratory -cured cylinders to reach specified strength, formwork or
shoring may be removed from respective concrete placements.
Determine length of time that concrete has been cured by totaling the
days or fractions of days, not necessarily consecutive, during which air
temperature surrounding concrete is above 50 degrees F and concrete has
been damp or thoroughly sealed against evaporation and loss of moisture.
2. Compressive Strengths: The minimum concrete compressive strength for
removal of formwork supporting weight of concrete is 75 percent of specified
minimum 28-day strength for class of concrete involved.
3.29 RESHORING
A When reshoring is permitted, plan operations in advance and obtain the Engineer's
approval of such operations. While reshoring is under way, keep live load off new
construction. Do not penult concrete in any beam, slab, column or other structural
member to be subjected to combined dead and construction loads in excess of loads
permitted for developed concrete strength at time of reshoring.
B Place reshores as soon as practicable after form -stripping operations are complete but in
no case later than end of day on which stripping occurs. Tighten reshores to carry
required loads without over stressing construction Leave reshores in place until tests
representative of concrete being supported have reached specified strength at time of
removal of fouuwork supporting weight of concrete.
C Floors supporting shores under newly -placed concretes Leave original supporting shores
in place, or re -shore. Locate reshores directly under shore position above. Extend
reshoring over a sufficient number of stories to distribute weight of newly -placed
concrete, foul's and construction live loads in such manner that design superimposed
loads of floors supporting shores are not exceeded.
3.30 FORM REUSE
A Do not reuse forms that are worn or damaged beyond repair. Thoroughly clean and
recoat forms before reuse. For wood and plywood forms to be used for exposed smooth
finish, sand or otherwise dress concrete contact surface to original condition or provide
fouu liner facing material. For metal focus, straighten, remove dents and clean to return
forms to original condition.

Minimum distance from edge of waterstop placed in groove to face of
member: 2.5 inches.
c. Do not place bentonite waterstop when waterstop material temperature is
below 40 degrees F. Waterstop material may be waiined so that it
remains above 40 degrees F during placement but means used to warm it
shall in no way harm the material or its properties. Do not install

waterstop where air temperature falls outside manufacturer's
recommended range.
d. Place bentonite waterstop only on smooth and uniform surfaces; grind
concrete smooth if necessary to produce satisfactory substrate, or bond
waterstop to irregular surfaces using an epoxy grout which completely
fills voids and irregularities beneath the waterstop material. Prior to
installation, wire brush the concrete surface to remove laitance and other
substances that may interfere with bonding of epoxy.
e. In addition to the adhesive backing provided with the waterstop, secure
bentonite waterstop in place with concrete nails and washers at 12-inch
maximum spacing
7 Adhesive Waterstop:
a. Thoroughly clean the concrete surface on which the waterstop is to be
placed with a wire brush and coat with primer.
b. If the surface is too rough to allow the waterstop to form a complete
contact, grind to form an adequately smooth surface.
c. Install the waterstop with the top protective paper left in place. Overlap
joints between strips a minimum of 1 inch and cover back over with the
protective paper.
d. Do not remove protective paper until just before final formwork
completion. Concrete shall be placed immediately. The time that the
waterstop material is uncovered prior to concrete placement shall be
minimized and shall not exceed 24 hours.
G Control Joints•
1. Where indicated, form in slabs by sawcutting, preformed plastic inserts or other
means acceptable to the Engineer. Minimum insert or sawcut: 1/4 slab depth.
2. Perform sawcutting during the curing period as soon as possible after concrete
has reached its final set, has attained sufficient strength to support sawcutting
operations without damage, and while it remains fully saturated.
3. Leave the removable portion of plastic inserts in place and protect sawcuts
against damage and intrusion of foreign material until the end of the curing
period and until concrete has dried sufficiently to allow sealant installation.
4. Sealant Installation: Blow foreign material from formed or sawcut space. Insert
a foam backer rod to form a sealant depth equal to the width of the space but not
less than 3/8 inch. Install sealant as specified elsewhere in the Contract
Documents.
