CONTROL OF GROUND WATER
CITY OF PEARLAND AND SURFACE WATER
G Maintain water level below subgrade elevation. Do not allow levels to rise until
foundation concrete has achieved design strength.
H During backfilling,dewatering may be reduced to maintain water level a minimum of
5 feet below prevailing level of backfill. However, do not allow that water level to
result in uplift pressures in excess of 80 percent of downward pressure produced by
weight of structure or backfill in place. Do not allow water levels to rise into cement
stabilized sand until at least 48 hour after placement.
I Provide a uniform diameter for each pipe drain run constructed for dewatering.
Remove pipe drain when it has served its purpose. If removal of pipe is impractical,
provide grout connections at 50-foot intervals and fill pipe with cement-bentonite grout
or cement-sand grout when pipe is removed from service.
J Extent of construction ground water control for structures with a permanent perforated
underground drainage system may be reduced,such as for units designed to withstand
hydrostatic uplift pressure. Provide a means of draining the affected portion of
underground system,including standby equipment. Maintain drainage system during
operations and remove it when no longer required.
K Remove system upon completion of construction or when dewatering and control of
surface or ground water is no longer required.
L Compact backfill as required by the Contract Documents.
3.02 REQUIREMENTS FOR EDUCTOR,WELL POINTS,OR DEEP WELLS
A For aboveground piping in ground water control system,include a 12-inch minimum
length of clear, transparent piping between every eductor well or well point and
discharge header so that discharge from each installation can be visually monitored.
B Install sufficient piezometers or monitoring wells to show that all trench or shaft
excavations in water bearing materials are predrained prior to excavation. Provide
separate piezometers for monitoring of dewatering and for monitoring of
depressurization. Install piezometers and monitoring wells for tunneling as appropriate
for Contractor's selected method of work.
C Install piezometers or monitoring wells not less than one week in advance of beginning
the associated excavation.
D Dewatering may be omitted for portions of underdrains or other excavations,but only
where auger borings and piezometers or monitoring wells show that soil is predrained
by an existing system such that the criteria of the Ground Water and Surface Water
Control Plan are satisfied.

methods or combination of methods
1 Sump pumping in combination with.
a. Layer of crushed stone and filter fabric.
b Sand and gravel drains.
2. Wells for ground water control.
B Use sump pumping and a drainage layer, as defined in ASTM D 2321,placed on the
foundation beneath pipe bedding or thickened bedding layer of Class I material.
3.04 MAINTENANCE AND OBSERVATION
A Conduct daily maintenance and observation of piezometers or monitoring wells while
the ground water control installations or excavation drainage are operating in an area.
Keep system in good operating condition.
B Replace damaged and destroyed piezometers or monitoring wells with new
piezometers or wells as necessary to meet observation schedule.
C Cut off piezometers or monitoring wells in excavation areas where piping is exposed,
only as necessary to perform observation as excavation proceeds. Continue to
maintain and make observations, as specified.
D Remove and grout piezometers inside or outside the excavation area when ground
water control operations are complete. Remove and grout monitoring wells when
directed by the Engineer
3.05 MONITORING AND RECORDING
A Monitor and record average flow rate of operation for each deep well, or for each
wellpoint or eductor header used in dewatering system. Also monitor and record water
level and ground water recovery These records shall be obtained daily until steady
conditions are achieved, and twice weekly thereafter
02/2008 01564-7 of 8
CONTROL OF GROUND WATER
CITY OF PEARLAND AND SURFACE WATER
B Observe and record elevation of water level daily as long as ground water control
system is in operation, and weekly thereafter until the Work is completed or
piezometers or wells are removed, except when Engineer determines that more
frequent monitoring and recording are required. Comply with Architect's direction for
increased monitoring and recording and take measures as necessary to ensure effective
dewatering for intended purpose.
3.06 SURFACE WATER CONTROL
A Intercept surface water and divert it away from excavations through use of dikes,
ditches,curb walls,pipes, sumps or other approved means. The requirement includes
temporary works required to protect adjoining properties from surface drainage caused
by construction operations.
B Divert surface water and seepage water into sumps and pump it into drainage channels
or storm drains, when approved by agencies having jurisdiction. Provide settling
basins when required by such agencies.
C Provide additional surface water control measures or change the methods in the event
that the measures according to the Ground Water and Surface Water Control Plan do
not provide satisfactory results based on the performance criteria defined by the Plan
and by this Section. Submit a revised Plan according to this Section, 1 03B

Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
Section B. Definitions
Arid Areas-Areas with an average annual rainfall of o to io inches.
Best Management Practices(BMPs)-Schedules of activities,prohibitions of practices,
maintenance procedures,structural controls,local ordinances,and other management
practices to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants.BMPs also include treatment
requirements,operating procedures,and practices to control construction site runoff,spills
or leaks,waste disposal,or drainage from raw material storage areas.
Commencement of Construction-The initial disturbance of soils associated with
clearing,grading,or excavation activities,as well as other construction-related activities
(e.g.,stockpiling of fill material,demolition).
Common Plan of Development-A construction activity that is completed in separate
stages,separate phases,or in combination with other construction activities. A common
plan of development(also known as a"common plan of development or sale")is identified
by the documentation for the construction project that identifies the scope of the project,and
may include plats,blueprints,marketing plans,contracts,building permits,a public notice
or hearing,zoning requests,or other similar documentation and activities. A common plan
of development does not necessarily include all construction projects within the jurisdiction
of a public entity(e.g.,a city or university) Construction of roads or buildings in different
parts of the jurisdiction would be considered separate"common plans,"with only the
interconnected parts of a project being considered part of a"common plan"(e.g.,a building
and its associated parking lot and driveways,airport runway and associated taxiways,a
building complex,etc.).Where discrete construction projects occur within a larger common
plan of development or sale but are located 1/4 mile or more apart,and the area between the
projects is not being disturbed,each individual project can be treated as a separate plan of
development or sale,provided that any interconnecting road,pipeline or utility project that
is part of the same"common plan"is not included in the area to be disturbed.
Construction Activity-Includes soil disturbance activities,including clearing,grading,
excavating,construction-related activity(e.g.,stockpiling of fill material,demolition),and
construction support activity This does not include routine maintenance that is performed
to maintain the original line and grade,hydraulic capacity,or original purpose of the site
(e.g.,the routine grading of existing dirt roads,asphalt overlays of existing roads,the routine
clearing of existing right-of-ways,and similar maintenance activities).Regulated
construction activity is defined in terms of small and large construction activity
Construction Support Activity—A construction-related activity that specifically
supports construction activity,which can involve earth disturbance or pollutant-generating
activities of its own,and can include,but are not limited to,activities associated with
concrete or asphalt batch plants,rock crushers,equipment staging or storage areas,chemical
storage areas,material storage areas,material borrow areas,and excavated material disposal
areas.Construction support activity must only directly support the construction activity
authorized under this general permit.
Dewatering—The act of draining rainwater or groundwater from building foundations,
vaults,and trenches.
Discharge—For the purposes of this permit,the drainage,release,or disposal of pollutants
in stormwater and certain non-stormwater from areas where soil disturbing activities(e.g.,
clearing,grading,excavation,stockpiling of fill material,and demolition),construction
materials or equipment storage or maintenance(e.g.,fill piles,borrow area,concrete truck
wash out,fueling),or other industrial stormwater directly related to the construction process
(e.g.,concrete or asphalt batch plants)are located.
Drought-Stricken Area—For the purposes of this permit,an area in which the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's U.S.Seasonal Drought Outlook indicates for the
period during which the construction will occur that any of the following conditions are
Page 6
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
likely (1)"Drought to persist or intensify", (2)"Drought ongoing,some improvement", (3)
"Drought likely to improve,impacts ease",or(4)"Drought development likely" See
http.//www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/expert assessment/seasonal drought.html.
Edwards Aquifer-As defined under Texas Administrative Code(TAC)§213.3 of this title
(relating to the Edwards Aquifer),that portion of an arcuate belt of porous,water-bearing,
predominantly carbonate rocks known as the Edwards and Associated Limestones in the
Balcones Fault Zone trending from west to east to northeast in Kinney,Uvalde,Medina,
Bexar,Comal,Hays,Travis,and Williamson Counties;and composed of the Salmon Peak
Limestone,McKnight Formation,West Nueces Formation,Devil's River Limestone,Person
Formation,Kainer Formation,Edwards Formation,and Georgetown Formation.The
permeable aquifer units generally overlie the less-permeable Glen Rose Formation to the
south,overlie the less-permeable Comanche Peak and Walnut Formations north of the
Colorado River,and underlie the less-permeable Del Rio Clay regionally
Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone-Generally,that area where the stratigraphic units
constituting the Edwards Aquifer crop out,including the outcrops of other geologic
formations in proximity to the Edwards Aquifer,where caves,sinkholes,faults,fractures,or
other permeable features would create a potential for recharge of surface waters into the
Edwards Aquifer The recharge zone is identified as that area designated as such on official
maps located in the offices of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality(TCEQ)and
the appropriate regional office.The Edwards Aquifer Map Viewer,located at
http.//www.tceq.texas.govJcompliance/field ops/eapp/mapdisclaimer.html,can be used to
determine where the recharge zone is located.
Edwards Aquifer Contributing Zone-The area or watershed where runoff from
precipitation flows downgradient to the recharge zone of the Edwards Aquifer The
contributing zone is located upstream(upgradient)and generally north and northwest of the
recharge zone for the following counties. all areas within Kinney County,except the area
within the watershed draining to Segment No.2304 of the Rio Grande Basin,all areas within
Uvalde,Medina,Bexar,and Comal Counties,all areas within Hays and Travis Counties,
except the area within the watersheds draining to the Colorado River above a point 1.3 miles
upstream from Tom Miller Dam,Lake Austin at the confluence of Barrow Brook Cove,
Segment No.14o3 of the Colorado River Basin,and all areas within Williamson County,
except the area within the watersheds draining to the Lampasas River above the dam at
Stillhouse Hollow reservoir,Segment No.1216 of the Brazos River Basin.The contributing
zone is illustrated on the Edwards Aquifer map viewer at
http://www.tceq.texas.gov/compliance/field ops/eapp/mapdisclaimer.html.
Effluent Limitations Guideline(ELG)—Defined in 4o Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR)§122.2 as a regulation published by the Administrator under§3o4(b)of the Clean
Water Act(CWA)to adopt or revise effluent limitations.
Facility or Activity—For the purpose of this permit,referring to a construction site,the
location of construction activity,or a construction support activity that is regulated under
this general permit,including all contiguous land and fixtures(for example,ponds and
materials stockpiles),structures,or appurtenances used at a construction site or industrial
site.
Final Stabilization-A construction site status where any of the following conditions are
met:
(a) All soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed and a uniform(that is,
evenly distributed,without large bare areas)perennial vegetative cover with a density of
at least 7o%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 geotextiles)
have been employed.

(b) For individual lots in a residential construction site by either.
(i) 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.If temporary
stabilization is not feasible,then the homebuilder may fulfill this requirement by
retaining perimeter controls or BMPs,and informing the homeowner of the need
for removal of temporary controls and the establishment of final stabilization.
Fulfillment of this requirement must be documented in the homebuilder's
stormwater pollution prevention plan(SWP3).
(c) For construction activities on land used for agricultural purposes(such as pipelines
across crop or range land),final stabilization maybe 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
surface water and areas that are not being returned to their preconstruction agricultural
use must meet the final stabilization conditions of condition(a)above.
(d) In arid,semi-arid,and drought-stricken areas only,all soil disturbing activities at the
site have been completed and both of the following criteria have been met:

control product)are selected,designed,and installed along with an appropriate
seed base to provide erosion control for at least three years without active
maintenance by the operator,and
(2) The temporary erosion control measures are selected,designed,and installed to
achieve 7o%of the native background vegetative coverage within three years.
Hyperchlorination of Waterlines—Treatment of potable water lines or tanks with
chlorine for disinfection purposes,typically following repair or partial replacement of the
waterline or tank,and subsequently flushing the contents.
Impaired Water-A surface water body that is identified as impaired on the latest
approved CWA§3o3(d)List or waters with an EPA-approved or established total maximum
daily load(TMDL)that are found on the latest EPA approved Texas Integrated Report of
Surface Water Quality for CWA Sections 3o5(b)and 3o3(d),which lists the category 4 and 5

hereby notified that they are regulated under this general permit,but are not
required to submit an NOI,provided that a primary operator at the site has
submitted an NOI,or prior to commencement of construction activities,a primary
operator is required to submit an NOI and the secondary operator has provided
notification to the operator(s)of the need to obtain coverage(with records of
notification available upon request).Any secondary operator notified under this
provision may alternatively submit an NOI under this general permit,may seek
coverage under an alternative TPDES individual permit,or may seek coverage under
an alternative TPDES general permit if available;and
(f) all secondary operators of large construction activities must post a copy of the signed
and certified Secondary Operator construction site notice and provide a copy of the
signed and certified site notice to the operator of any MS4 receiving the discharge at
least two days prior to the commencement construction activities.
NOTE. Posted site notices may have a redacted signature as long as there is an
original signed and certified Secondary Operator construction site notice,with
a viewable signature,located on-site and available for review by an applicable
regulatory authority
Effective September 1, 2018,applicants must submit an NOI using the online e-Permits
system available through the TCEQ website,or request and obtain a waiver from
electronic reporting from the TCEQ Waivers from electronic reporting are not
transferrable and expire on the same date as the authorization to discharge.
4. Waivers for Small Construction Activities.

for delivery to the TCEQ,unless otherwise notified by the executive director An
authorization is no longer provisional when the executive director finds the NOI is
administratively complete and an authorization number is issued to the permittee for
the construction site indicated on the NOI.
For construction activities located in areas regulated by 30 TAC Chapter 213,related
to the Edwards Aquifer,this authorization to discharge is separate from the
requirements of the operator's responsibilities under that rule.Construction
activities may not commence for sites regulated under 30 TAC Chapter 213 until all
applicable requirements of that rule are met.
(c) Operators are not prohibited from submitting late NOIs or posting late notices to
obtain authorization under this general permit.The TCEQ reserves the right to take
appropriate enforcement action for any unpermitted activities that may have
occurred between the time construction commenced and authorization was
obtained.
(d) If operators that submitted NOIs have active authorizations for construction
activities that are ongoing when the term of the current general permit expires and a
new general permit is issued,a 9o-day interim(grace)period is granted to provide
coverage that is administratively continued until operators with active
authorizations can obtain coverage under the newly issued CGP The 9o-day grace
period starts on the effective date of the newly issued CGP Deadlines for obtaining
coverage for operators of small and large construction are provided in Part II.D.1
and 2 above.
6. Notice of Change(NOC)
If relevant information provided in the NOI changes,the operator that has submitted the
NOI must submit an NOC to TCEQ at least fourteen(14)days before the change occurs,
if possible.Where a 14-day advance notice is not possible,the operator must submit an
NOC to TCEQ within 14-days of discovery of the change.If the operator becomes aware
that it failed to submit any relevant facts or submitted incorrect information in an NOI,
the correct information must be submitted to TCEQ in an NOC within 14 days after
discovery The NOC shall be submitted on a form provided by the executive director,or
by letter if an NOC form is not available.A copy of the NOC form or letter must also be
placed in the SWP3 and provided to the operator of any MS4 receiving the discharge.A
list that includes the names and addresses of all MS4 operators receiving a copy of the
NOC(or NOC letter)must be included in the SWP3.
Information on an NOC may include,but is not limited to,the following:a change in the
description of the construction project;an increase in the number of acres disturbed(for

iii. the operator has obtained alternative authorization under an individual or
general TPDES permit.
Authorization to discharge under this general permit terminates immediately upon
removal of the applicable site notice.Compliance with the conditions and requirements
of this permit is required until the site notice is removed.
4. Transfer of Day-to-Day Operational Control
(a) When the primary operator of a large construction activity changes or operational
control over activities necessary to ensure compliance with the SWP3 and other
permit conditions is transferred to another primary operator,the original operator
must do the following:
i. submit an NOT within ten(1o)days prior to the date that responsibility for
operations terminates,and the new operator must submit an NOI at least ten
(io)days prior to the transfer of operational control,in accordance with
condition(c)below;and
ii. submit a copy of the NOT from the primary operator terminating its coverage
under the permit and its operational control of the construction site and submit
a copy of the NOI from the new primary operator to the operator of any MS4

Page 24
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150o00
II.E. 1—3.Where authorization has been obtained by submitting an NOI for
coverage under this general permit,permit coverage is not transferable from one
operator to another A transfer of operational control can include changes to the
structure of a company,such as changing from a partnership to a corporation,or
changing to a different corporation type such that a different filing(or charter)
number is established with the Texas Secretary of State.A transfer of operational
control can also occur when of the following criteria is met,as applicable:
i. Another operator has assumed control over all areas of the site that do not
meet the definition for final stabilization,
ii. 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,provided that the original permitted operator has attempted to notify
the new operator in writing of the requirement to obtain permit coverage.
Records of this notification(or attempt at notification)shall be retained by the
operator transferring operational control to another operator in accordance
with Part VI of this permit.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,or
iii. a homebuilder has purchased one or more lots from an operator who obtained
coverage under this general permit for a common plan of development or sale.
The homebuilder is considered a new operator and shall comply with the
requirements of this permit.Under these circumstances,the homebuilder is
only responsible for compliance with the general permit requirements as they
apply to the lot(s)it has operational control over in a larger common plan of
development,and the original operator remains responsible for common
controls or discharges,and must amend its SWP3 to remove the lot(s)
transferred to the homebuilder
Section G. Waivers from Coverage
The executive director may waive the otherwise applicable requirements of this general
permit for stormwater 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,when the calculated
rainfall erosivity(R)factor for the entire period of the construction project is less than
five(5).
The operator must submit either a signed paper Low Rainfall Erosivity Waiver(LREW)
certification form to the TCEQ,supplied by the executive director,or complete the form
electronically via the online e-Permits system available through the TCEQ website.The
form is a certification by the operator that the small construction activity will commence
and be completed within a period when the value of the calculated R factor is less than
five(5).
The paper LREW certification form must be postmarked for delivery to the TCEQ at
least seven(7)days before construction activity begins or,if submitted electronically,
construction may begin at any time following the receipt of written confirmation from
TCEQ that a complete electronic application was submitted and acknowledged.
This waiver from coverage does not apply to any non-stormwater discharges,including
what is allowed under this permit.The operator must insure that all non-stormwater
discharges are either authorized under a separate permit or authorization,or are
captured and routed to an authorized treatment facility for disposal.
Page 25
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
Effective September 1, 2018,applicants must submit an LREW using the online e-
Permits system available through the TCEQ website,or request and obtain a waiver
from electronic reporting from the TCEQ Waivers from electronic reporting are not
transferrable and expire on the same date as the authorization to discharge.
2. Steps to Obtaining a Waiver
The construction site operator may calculate the R factor to request a waiver using the
following steps:
(a) Estimate the construction start date and the construction end date.The
construction end date is the date that final stabilization will be achieved.
(b) Find the appropriate Erosivity Index(EI)zone in Appendix B of this permit.
(c) Find the EI percentage for the project period by adding the results for each period of
the project using the table provided in Appendix D of this permit,in EPA Fact Sheet
2.1,or in USDA Handbook 703,by subtracting the start value from the end value to
find the percent EI for the site.
(d) Refer to the Isoerodent Map(Appendix C of this permit)and interpolate the annual
isoerodent value for the proposed construction location.
(e) Multiply the percent value obtained in Step(c)above by the annual isoerodent value
obtained in Step(d).This is the R factor for the proposed project.If the value is less
than 5,then a waiver may be obtained.If the value is five(5)or more,then a waiver
may not be obtained,and the operator must obtain coverage under Part II.E.2.of
this permit.
Alternatively,the operator may calculate a site-specific R factor utilizing the following
online calculator http.//ei.tamu.edu/index.html,or using another available resource.
A copy of the LREW certification form is not required to be posted at the small
construction site.
3. Effective Date of a LREW
Unless otherwise notified by the executive director,operators of small construction
activities seeking coverage under a LREW are provisionally waived from the otherwise
applicable requirements of this general permit seven(7)days from the date that a
completed paper LREW certification form is postmarked for delivery to TCEQ,or
immediately upon receiving confirmation of approval of an electronic submittal,made
via the online e-Permits system available through the TCEQ website.
Effective September 1, 2018,applicants seeking coverage under a LREW must submit an
application for a LREW using the online e-Permits system available through the TCEQ
website,or request and obtain a waiver from electronic reporting from the TCEQ
Waivers from electronic reporting are not transferrable and expire on the same date as
the authorization to discharge.
4. Activities Extending Beyond the LREW 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 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 certification form
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 for
automatic authorization for small construction activities in Part II.E.2 of this permit,
prior to the end of the approved LREW period.
Page 26
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
Section H. 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 3o TAC§305(relating to
Consolidated Permits).Applications for individual permit coverage must be submitted
at least three hundred and thirty(33o)days prior to commencement of construction
activities to ensure timely authorization.Existing coverage under this general permit
should not be terminated until an individual permit is issued and in effect.
2. Alternative Authorizations for Certain Discharges
Certain discharges eligible for authorization under this general permit may
alternatively be authorized under a separate general permit according to 3o TAC
Chapter 205(relating to General Permits for Waste Discharges),as applicable.
3. Individual Permit Required
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 in
the following circumstances.
(a) the conditions of an approved TMDL or TMDL I-Plan on the receiving water;
(b) the activity being determined to cause,has a reasonable potential to cause,or
contribute to a violation of water quality standards or being found to cause,or
contribute to,the loss of a designated use of surface water in the state:and
(c) any other consideration defined in 3o TAC Chapter 205(relating to General Permits
for Waste Discharges)including 3o TAC Chapter 2o5.4(c)(3)(D),which allows the
commission 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
A discharger with a TCEQ compliance history rating of"unsatisfactory"is ineligible
for coverage under this general permit.In that case,3o TAC§60.3 requires the
executive director to deny or suspend an authorization to discharge under a general
permit.However,per TWC§26.o4o(h),a discharger is entitled to a hearing before
the commission prior to having an authorization denied or suspended for having an
"unsatisfactory"compliance history
Denial of authorization to discharge under this general permit or suspension of a
permittee's authorization under this general permit for reasons other than compliance
history shall be done according to commission rules in 3o TAC Chapter 205 (relating to
General Permits for Waste Discharges).
4. Alternative Discharge Authorization
Any discharge eligible for authorization under this general permit may alternatively be
authorized under a separate general permit according to 3o TAC Chapter 205(relating
to General Permits for Waste Discharges),if applicable.
Section I. Permit Expiration
1. This general permit is effective for a term not to exceed five(5)years.All active
discharge authorizations expire on the date provided on page one(1)of this permit.
Following public notice and comment,as provided by 3o TAC§205.3(relating to
Public Notice,Public Meetings,and Public Comment),the commission may amend,
Page 27
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR1.50000
revoke,cancel,or renew this general permit.All authorizations that are active at the
time the permit term expires will be administratively continued as indicated in Part
II.I.2 below and in Part II.D.i(b)and D.2(b)of this permit.
2. If the executive director publishes a notice of the intent to renew or amend this
general permit before the expiration date,the permit will remain in effect for
existing, authorized discharges 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.
3. If the commission does not propose to reissue this general permit within 90 days
before the expiration date,permittees shall apply for authorization under an
individual permit or an alternative general permit. If the application for an
individual permit is submitted before the expiration date,authorization under this
expiring general permit remains in effect until the issuance or denial of an individual
permit.No new NOIs will be accepted nor new authorizations honored under the
general permit after the expiration date.
Part III. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans(SWP3)
All regulated construction site operators shall prepare an SWP3,prior to submittal of an
NOI,to address discharges authorized under Parts II.E.2 and II.E.3 of this general permit
that will reach Waters of the U.S.This includes discharges to MS4s and privately owned
separate storm sewer systems that drain into surface water in the state or Waters of the U.S.
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,operators 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 compliance with the terms
and conditions of this general permit in the areas of the construction site where that operator
has control over construction plans and specifications or day-to-day operations.
An SWP3 must describe the implementation of practices that will be used to minimize to the
extent practicable the discharge of pollutants in stormwater associated with construction
activity and non-stormwater discharges described in Part II.A.3,in compliance with the
terms and conditions of this permit.
An SWP3 must also identify any potential sources of pollution that have been determined to
cause,have a reasonable potential to cause,or contribute to a violation of water quality
standards or have been found to cause or contribute to the loss of a designated use of surface
water in the state from discharges of stormwater from construction activities and
construction support activities.Where potential sources of these pollutants are present at a
construction site,the SWP3 must also contain a description of the management practices
that will be used to prevent these pollutants from being discharged into surface water in the
state or Waters of the U.S.
NOTE. Construction support activities can also include vehicle repair areas,fueling
areas,etc.that are present at a construction site solely for the support construction
activities and are only used by operators at the construction site.
The SWP3 is intended to serve as a road map for how the construction operator will comply
with the effluent limits and other conditions of this permit and does not establish the effluent
limits that apply to the construction site's discharges. These limits are established in Part
III.G of the permit.
Page 28
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
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 of small
and large construction activities must independently obtain authorization under this
permit,but may work together with other regulated operators at the construction site to
prepare and implement a single,comprehensive SWP3,which can be shared by some or
all operators,for the construction activities that each of the operators are performing at
the entire construction site.
1. The SWP3 must include the following:
(a) for small construction activities—the name of each operator that participates in
the shared SWP3;
(b) for large construction activities-the name of each operator that participates in
the shared SWP3,the general permit authorization numbers of each operator
(or the date that the NOI was submitted to TCEQ by each operator that has not
received an authorization number for coverage under this permit);and
(c) for large and small construction activities-the signature of each operator
participating in the shared 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.
3. The SWP3 may provide that one operator is responsible for preparation of a SWP3 in
compliance with the CGP,and another operator is responsible for implementation of
the SWP3 at the project site.
Section B. Responsibilities of Operators
1. Secondary Operators and Primary Operators with Control Over Construction Plans
and Specifications
All secondary operators and primary operators with control over construction plans
and specifications shall.
(a) ensure the project specifications allow or provide that adequate BMPs are
developed to meet the requirements of Part III of this general permit;
(b) ensure that the SWP3 indicates the areas of the project where they have control
over project specifications,including the ability to make modifications in
specifications,
(c) ensure that all other operators affected by modifications in project specifications
are notified in a timely manner so that those operators may modify their BMP s
as 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 site-specific TPDES authorization number(s)for
operators with the day-to-day operational control over those activities necessary
to ensure compliance with the SWP3 and other permit conditions.If a primary
operator has not been authorized or has abandoned the site,the secondary
operator is considered to be the responsible party and must obtain authorization
Page 29
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
as a primary operator under the permit,until the authority for day-to-day
operational control is transferred to another primary operator The new primary
operator must update or develop a new SWP3 that will reflect the transfer of
operational control and include any additional updates to the SWP3 to meet
requirements of the permit.
2. Primary Operators with Day-to-Day Operational Control
Primary operators with day-to-day operational control of those activities at a project
that are necessary to ensure compliance with an SWP3 and other permit conditions
must ensure that the SWP3 accomplishes the following requirements.
(a) meets the requirements of this general permit for those portions of the project
where they are operators;
(b) identifies the parties responsible for implementation of BMPs described in the
SWP3,
(c) indicates areas of the project where they have operational control over day-to-
day activities; and
(d) the name and site-specific TPDES authorization number of the parties with
control over project specifications,including the ability to make modifications in
specifications for areas where they have operational control over day-to-day
activities.
Section C. Deadlines for SWP3 Preparation,Implementation,and Compliance
The SWP3 must be prepared prior to obtaining authorization under this general permit,
and implemented prior to commencing construction activities that result in soil
disturbance.The SWP3 must be prepared so that it provides for compliance with the
terms and conditions of this general permit.

site.
Section E. Revisions and Updates to SWP3s
The permittee must revise or update the SWP3 within seven days of when any of the
following occurs:
1. 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;

develop a series of maps that collectively include the required information.
(h) the location and description of support activities authorized under the
permittee's NOI,including asphalt plants, concrete plants, and other activities
providing support to the construction site that is authorized under this general

2. A description of the BMPs that will be used to minimize pollution in runoff.
The description must identify the general timing or sequence for implementation.At
a minimum,the description must include the following components
(a) General Requirements
i. Erosion and sediment controls must be designed to retain sediment on-site
to the extent practicable with consideration for local topography,soil type,
and rainfall.
ii. Control measures must be properly selected,installed,and maintained
according to the manufacturer's or designer's specifications.
Page 32
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
iii. Controls must be developed to minimize the offsite transport of litter,
construction debris,and construction materials.
(b) Erosion Control and Stabilization Practices
The SWP3 must include a description of temporary and permanent erosion
control and stabilization practices for the construction site,where small or large
construction activity will occur The erosion control and stabilization practices
selected by the permittee must be compliant with the requirements for sediment
and erosion control,located in Part III.G of this permit.The description of the
SWP3 must also include a schedule of when the practices will be implemented.
Site plans must ensure that existing vegetation at the construction site is
preserved where it is possible.
i. Erosion control and stabilization practices may include but are not limited
to establishment of temporary or permanent vegetation,mulching,
geotextiles,sod stabilization,vegetative buffer strips,protection of existing
trees and vegetation,slope texturing,temporary velocity dissipation
devices,flow diversion mechanisms,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 listed in Part III.D.i 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
(C) the dates when stabilization measures are initiated.
iii. Erosion control and stabilization measures must be initiated immediately
in portions of the site where construction activities have temporarily
ceased and will not resume for a period exceeding 14 calendar days.
Stabilization measures that provide a protective cover must be initiated
immediately in portions of the site where construction activities have
permanently ceased. The term"immediately"is used to define the
deadline for initiating stabilization measures.In the context of this
requirement,"immediately"means as soon as practicable,but no later than
the end of the next work day,following the day when the earth-disturbing
activities have temporarily or permanently ceased. Except as provided in
(A)through(D)below,these measures must be completed as soon as
practicable,but no more than 14 calendar days after the initiation of soil
stabilization measures:
(A) Where the immediate initiation of vegetative stabilization measures
after construction activity has temporarily or permanently ceased due
to frozen conditions,non-vegetative controls must be implemented
until thawing conditions(as defined in Part I.B of this general permit)
are present,and vegetative stabilization measures can be initiated as
soon as practicable.
(B) In arid areas,semi-arid areas,or drought-stricken areas,as they are
defined in Part I.B of this general permit,where the immediate
initiation of vegetative stabilization measures after construction
activity has temporarily or permanently ceased or is precluded by arid
conditions,other types of erosion control and stabilization measures
must be initiated at the site as soon as practicable.Where vegetative
controls are infeasible due to arid conditions,and within 14 calendar
days of a temporary or permanent cessation of construction activity in
any portion of the site,the operator shall immediately install non-
Page 33
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
vegetative erosion controls in areas of the construction site where
construction activity is complete or has ceased.If non-vegetative
controls are infeasible,the operator shall install temporary sediment
controls as required in Part III.F.2.(b).iii.(C)below
(C) In areas where non-vegetative controls are infeasible,the operator
may alternatively utilize temporary perimeter controls.The operator
must document in the SWP3 the reason why stabilization measures
are not feasible,and must demonstrate that the perimeter controls will
retain sediment on site to the extent practicable.The operator must
continue to inspect the BMPs at the frequencies established in Part
III.F 7.(c)for unstabilized sites.
(D) The requirement for permittees to initiate stabilization is triggered as
soon as it is known with reasonable certainty that construction activity
at the site or in certain areas of the site will be stopped for 14 or more
additional calendar days.If the initiation or completion of vegetative
stabilization is prevented by circumstances beyond the control of the
permittee,the permittee must employ and implement alternative
stabilization measures immediately When conditions at the site
changes that would allow for vegetative stabilization,then the
permittee must initiate or complete vegetative stabilization as soon as
practicable.
iv Final stabilization must be achieved prior to termination of permit
coverage.
v TCEQ does not expect that temporary or permanent stabilization measures
to be applied to areas that are intended to be left un-vegetated or un-
stabilized following construction(e.g.,dirt access roads,utility pole pads,
areas being used for storage of vehicles,equipment,or materials).
(c) Sediment Control Practices
The SWP3 must include a description of any sediment control practices used to
remove eroded soils from stormwater runoff,including the general timing or
sequence for implementation of controls.
i. Sites With Drainage Areas of Ten or More Acres
(A) Sedimentation Basin(s)
(1) A sedimentation basin is required,where feasible,for a common
drainage location that serves an area with ten(io)or more acres
disturbed at one time.A sedimentation basin may be temporary or
permanent,and must provide sufficient storage to contain a
calculated volume of runoff from a 2-year,24-hour storm from
each disturbed acre drained. 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 permanent
stabilization,if these flows are diverted around both the disturbed
areas of the site and the sediment basin.Capacity calculations shall
be included in the SWP3.
(2) Where rainfall data is not available or a calculation cannot be
performed,the sedimentation basin must provide at least 3,600
cubic feet of storage per acre drained until final stabilization of the
site.
Page 34
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
(3) If a sedimentation basin is not feasible,then the permittee shall
provide equivalent control measures until final stabilization of the
site.In determining whether installing a sediment basin is
feasible,the permittee may consider factors such as site soils,
slope,available area,public safety,precipitation patterns,site
geometry,site vegetation,infiltration capacity,geotechnical
factors,depth to groundwater,and other similar considerations.
The permittee shall document the reason that the sediment basins
are not feasible,and shall utilize equivalent control measures,
which may include a series of smaller sediment basins.
(4) Unless infeasible,when discharging from sedimentation basins
and impoundments,the permittee shall utilize outlet structures
that withdraw water from the surface.
(B) Perimeter Controls At a minimum,silt fences,vegetative buffer
strips,or equivalent sediment controls are required for all down slope
boundaries of the construction area,and for those side slope
boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site
conditions.
ii. Controls for Sites With Drainage Areas Less than Ten Acres.
(A) Sediment traps and sediment basins may be used to control solids in
stormwater runoff for drainage locations serving less than ten(io)
acres.At a minimum,silt fences,vegetative buffer strips,or
equivalent sediment controls are required for all down slope
boundaries of the construction area,and for those side slope
boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site
conditions.
(B) Alternatively,a sediment basin that provides storage for a calculated
volume of runoff from a 2-year,24-hour storm from each disturbed
acre drained may be utilized.Where rainfall data is not available or a
calculation cannot be performed,a temporary or permanent sediment
basin providing 3,60o cubic feet of storage per acre drained may be
provided.If a calculation is performed,then the calculation shall be
included in the SWP3.
(C) If sedimentation basins or impoundments are used,the permittee
shall comply with the requirements in Part III.G.6 of this general
permit.
3. Description of Permanent Stormwater Controls
A description of any stormwater control measures that will be installed during the
construction process to control pollutants in stormwater discharges that may occur
after construction operations have been completed must be included in the SWP3.
Permittees are responsible for the installation and maintenance of stormwater
management measures,as follows:
(a) permittees authorized under the permit for small construction activities are
responsible for the installation and maintenance of stormwater control measures
prior to final stabilization of the site;or
(b) permittees authorized under the permit for large construction activities are
responsible for the installation and maintenance of stormwater control measures
prior to final stabilization of the site and prior to submission of an NOT
4. Other Required Controls and BMPs
Page 35
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
(a) Permittees shall minimize,to the extent practicable,the off-site vehicle tracking
of sediments and the generation of dust.The SWP3 shall include a description
of controls utilized to accomplish this requirement.
(b) The SWP3 must include a description of construction and waste materials
expected to be stored on-site and a description of controls to minimize pollutants
from these materials.
(c) The SWP3 must include a description of potential pollutant sources in
discharges of stormwater from all areas of the construction site where
construction activity,including construction support activities,will be located,
and a description of controls and measures that will be implemented at those
sites to minimize pollutant discharges.
(d) Permittees shall place velocity dissipation devices at discharge locations and
along the length of any outfall channel(i.e.,runoff conveyance)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.
(e) Permittees shall design and utilize appropriate controls to minimize the offsite
transport of suspended sediments and other pollutants if it is necessary to pump
or channel standing water from the site.
(f) Permittees shall ensure that all other required controls and BMPs comply with
all of the requirements of Part III.G of this general permit.
(g) For demolition of any structure with at least io,000 square feet of floor space
that was built or renovated before January 1,1980,and the receiving waterbody
is impaired for polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs)
i. Implement controls to minimize the exposure of PCB-containing building
materials,including paint,caulk,and pre-198o fluorescent lighting fixtures
to precipitation and to stormwater;and
ii. Ensure that disposal of such materials is performed in compliance with
applicable state,federal,and local laws.
5. Documentation of Compliance with Approved State and Local Plans
(a) Permittees must ensure that the SWP3 is consistent with requirements specified
in applicable sediment and erosion site plans or site permits,or stormwater
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 stormwater management site plans or site permits approved by
state or local official for which the permittee receives written notice.
(c) If the permittee is required to prepare a separate management plan,including
but not limited to a WPAP or Contributing Zone Plan in accordance with 3o TAC
Chapter 213(related to the Edwards Aquifer),then a copy of that plan must be
either included in the SWP3 or made readily available upon request to
authorized personnel of the TCEQ The permittee shall maintain a copy of the
approval letter for the plan in its SWP3.
6. Maintenance Requirements
(a) All protective measures identified in the SWP3 must be maintained in effective
operating condition.If,through inspections or other means,as soon as the
permittee determines that BMPs are not operating effectively,then the permittee
shall perform maintenance as necessary to maintain the continued effectiveness
Page 36
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
of stormwater controls,and prior to the next rain event if feasible.If
maintenance prior to the next anticipated storm event is impracticable,the
reason shall be documented in the SWP3 and 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
(b) If periodic inspections or other information indicates a control has been used
incorrectly,is performing inadequately,or is damaged,then the operator shall
replace or modify the control as soon as practicable after making the discovery
(c) Sediment must be removed from sediment traps and sedimentation ponds no
later than the time that design capacity has been reduced by 5o%.For perimeter
controls such as silt fences,berms,etc.,the trapped sediment must be removed
before it reaches 50%of the above-ground height.
(d) If sediment escapes the site,accumulations must be removed at a frequency that
minimizes off-site impacts,and prior to the next rain event,if feasible.If the
permittee does not own or operate the off-site conveyance,then the permittee
shall work with the owner or operator of the property to remove the sediment.
7 Inspections of Controls
(a) Personnel provided by the permittee must inspect disturbed areas(cleared,
graded,or excavated)of the construction site that do not meet the requirements
of final stabilization in this general permit,all locations where stabilization
measures have been implemented,areas of construction support activity covered
under this permit,stormwater controls(including pollution prevention controls)
for evidence of,or the potential for,the discharge of pollutants,areas where
stormwater typically flows within the construction site,and points of discharge
from the construction site.
i. Personnel conducting these inspections must be knowledgeable of this
general permit,the construction activities at the site,and the SWP3 for the
site.
ii. Personnel conducting these inspections are not required to have signatory
authority for inspection reports under 3o TAC§3o5.128.
(b) Requirements for Inspections
i. Inspect all stormwater controls(including sediment and erosion control
measures identified in the SWP3)to ensure that they are installed properly,
appear to be operational,and minimizing pollutants in discharges,as
intended.
ii. Identify locations on the construction site where new or modified
stormwater controls are necessary
iii. Check for signs of visible erosion and sedimentation that can be attributed
to the points of discharge where discharges leave the construction site or
discharge into any surface water in the state flowing within or adjacent to
the construction site.
iv Identify any incidents of noncompliance observed during the inspection.
v Inspect locations where vehicles enter or exit the site for evidence of off-site
sediment tracking.
vi. If an inspection is performed when discharges from the construction site are
occurring: identify all discharge points at the site,observe and document
the visual quality of the discharge(i.e.,color,odor,floating,settled,or
Page 37
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
suspended solids,foam,oil sheen,and other such indicators of pollutants in
stormwater).
vii. Complete any necessary maintenance needed,based on the results of the
inspection and in accordance with the requirements listed in Part III.F.6
above.
(c) Inspection frequencies:
i. Inspections of construction sites must be conducted at least once every 14
calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a storm event of o.5 inches
or greater,unless as otherwise provided below in Part III.F 7.(c).ii—v
below
ii. Inspection frequencies must be conducted at least once every month in
areas of the construction site that meet final stabilization or have been
temporarily stabilized.
iii. Inspection frequencies for construction sites,where runoff is unlikely due to
the occurrence of frozen conditions at the site,must be conducted at least
once every month until thawing conditions begin to occur(See definitions
for thawing conditions in Part I.B).The SWP3 must also contain a record of
the approximate beginning and ending dates of when frozen conditions
occurred at the site,which resulted in inspections being conducted monthly,
while those conditions persisted,instead of at the interval of once every 14
calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a storm event of o.5 inches
or greater
iv In arid,semi-arid,or drought-stricken areas,inspections must be conducted
at least once every month and within 24 hours after the end of a storm event
of o.5 inches or greater The SWP3 must also contain a record of the total
rainfall measured,as well as the approximate beginning and ending dates of
when drought conditions occurred at the site,which resulted in inspections
being conducted monthly,while those conditions persisted,instead of at the
interval of once every 14 calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a
storm event of o.5 inches or greater
v As an alternative to the inspection schedule in Part III.F 7.(c).i above,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,
then the inspection must occur regardless of whether or not there has been
a rainfall event since the previous inspection.
vi. The inspection procedures described in Part III.F 7(c).i.—v above can be
performed at the frequencies and under the applicable conditions indicated
for each schedule option,provided that the SWP3 reflects the current
schedule and that any changes to the schedule are made in accordance with
the following provisions.the inspection frequency schedule can only be
changed a maximum of one time each month,the schedule change must be
implemented at the beginning of a calendar month, and the reason for the
schedule change documented in the SWP3(e.g.,end of"dry"season and
beginning of"wet"season).
(d) 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 7(a)above.
i. Inspection of linear construction sites could require the use of vehicles that
could compromise areas of temporary or permanent stabilization,cause
Page 38
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
additional disturbance of soils,and result in the increase the potential for
erosion. In these circumstances,controls must be inspected at least once
every 14 calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a storm event of
0.5 inches or greater,but representative inspections may be performed.
H. 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 7.(a)
above.The conditions of the controls along each inspected 0.25 mile
portion may be considered as representative of the condition of controls
along that reach extending from the end of the 0.25 mile portion to either
the end of the next 0.25 mile inspected portion,or to the end of the project,
whichever occurs first.
As an alternative to the inspection schedule described in Part III.F 7.(c).i
above,the SWP3 maybe 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 regardless of whether or
not there has been a rainfall event since the previous inspection.
iii. The SWP3 for a linear construction site must reflect the current inspection
schedule. Any changes to the inspection schedule must be made in
accordance with the following provisions:
(A) the schedule may be changed a maximum of one time each month,
(B) the schedule change must be implemented at the beginning of a
calendar month,and
(C) the reason for the schedule change must be documented in the SWP3
(e.g.,end of"dry"season and beginning of"wet"season)
(e) In the event of flooding or other uncontrollable situations which prohibit access
to the inspection sites,inspections must be conducted as soon as access is
practicable.
(f) Inspection Reports
i. A report summarizing the scope of any inspection must be completed within
24-hours following the inspection.The report must also include the date(s)
of the inspection and major observations relating to the implementation of
the SWP3.Major observations in the report must include:the locations of
where erosion and discharges of sediment or other pollutants from the site
have occurred,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.
ii. 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 retained
as part of the SWP3 and signed by the person and in the manner required by
3o TAC§305.128(relating to Signatories to Reports).
iii. The names and qualifications of personnel making the inspections for the
permittee may be documented once in the SWP3 rather than being included
in each report.
(g) 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
Page 39
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
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 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.
8. The SWP3 must identify and ensure the implementation of appropriate pollution
prevention measures for all eligible non-stormwater components of the discharge,as
listed in Part II.A.3 of this permit.
9. The SWP3 must include the information required in Part III.B of this general permit.
io. The SWP3 must include pollution prevention procedures that comply with Part
III.G.4 of this general permit.
Section G. Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements Applicable to All Sites
Except as provided in 4o CFR§§125.3o-125.32,any discharge regulated under this
general permit,with the exception of sites that obtained waivers based on low rainfall
erosivity,must achieve,at a minimum,the following effluent limitations representing
the degree of effluent reduction attainable by application of the best practicable control
technology currently available(BPT).
1. Erosion and sediment controls.Design,install,and maintain effective erosion
controls and sediment controls to minimize the discharge of pollutants.At a
minimum,such controls must be designed,installed,and maintained to.
(a) Control stormwater volume and velocity within the site to minimize soil erosion
in order to minimize pollutant discharges;
(b) Control stormwater discharges,including both peak flowrates and total
stormwater volume,to minimize channel and streambank erosion and scour in
the immediate vicinity of discharge point(s);
(c) Minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction activity;
(d) Minimize the disturbance of steep slopes;
(e) Minimize sediment discharges from the site.The design,installation,and
maintenance of erosion and sediment controls must address factors such as the
amount,frequency,intensity and duration of precipitation,the nature of
resulting stormwater runoff,and soil characteristics,including the range of soil
particle sizes expected to be present on the site;
(f) If earth disturbance activities are located in close proximity to a surface water in
the state,provide and maintain appropriate natural buffers if feasible and as
necessary,around surface water in the state,depending on site-specific
topography,sensitivity,and proximity to water bodies.Direct stormwater to
vegetated areas and maximize stormwater infiltration to reduce pollutant
discharges,unless infeasible.If providing buffers is infeasible,the permittee
shall document the reason that natural buffers are infeasible and shall
implement additional erosion and sediment controls to reduce sediment load,
(g) Preserve native topsoil at the site,unless the intended function of a specific area
of the site dictates that the topsoil be disturbed or removed,or it is infeasible;
and
(h) Minimize soil compaction. In areas of the construction site where final
vegetative stabilization will occur or where infiltration practices will be installed,
either
i. restrict vehicle and equipment use to avoid soil compaction,or
Page 4o
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
ii. prior to seeding or planting areas of exposed soil that have been compacted,
use techniques that condition the soils to support vegetative growth,if
necessary and feasible;
Minimizing soil compaction is not required where the intended function of a
specific area of the site dictates that it be compacted.
(i) TCEQ does not consider stormwater control features(e.g.,stormwater
conveyance channels,storm drain inlets,sediment basins)to constitute"surface
water"for the purposes of triggering the buffer requirement in Part III.G.1.(f)
above.
2. Soil stabilization.Stabilization of disturbed areas must,at a minimum,be initiated
immediately whenever any clearing,grading,excavating,or other earth disturbing
activities have permanently ceased on any portion of the site,or temporarily ceased
on any portion of the site and will not resume for a period exceeding 14 calendar
days.In the context of this requirement,"immediately"means as soon as practicable,
but no later than the end of the next work day,following the day when the earth-
disturbing activities have temporarily or permanently ceased. Temporary
stabilization must be completed no more than 14 calendar days after initiation of soil
stabilization measures,and final stabilization must be achieved prior to termination of
permit coverage.In arid,semi-arid,and drought-stricken areas where initiating
vegetative stabilization measures immediately is infeasible,alternative non-
vegetative stabilization measures must be employed as soon as practicable.Refer to
Part III.F.2.(b)for complete erosion control and stabilization practice requirements.
In limited circumstances, stabilization may not be required if the intended function
of a specific area of the site necessitates that it remain disturbed.
3. Dewatering Discharges from dewatering activities,including discharges from
dewatering of trenches and excavations,are prohibited,unless managed by
appropriate controls.
4. Pollution prevention measures.Design,install,implement,and maintain effective
pollution prevention measures to minimize the discharge of pollutants.At a
minimum,such measures must be designed,installed,implemented,and maintained
to.
(a) Minimize the discharge of pollutants from equipment and vehicle washing,
wheel wash water,and other wash waters.Wash waters must be treated in a
sediment basin or alternative control that provides equivalent or better
treatment prior to discharge;
(b) Minimize the exposure of building materials,building products,construction

sanitary waste,and other materials present on the site to precipitation and to
stormwater;
(c) Minimize the exposure of waste materials by closing waste container lids at the
end of the work day For waste containers that do not have lids,where the
container itself is not sufficiently secure enough to prevent the discharge of
pollutants absent a cover and could leak,the permittee must provide either a
cover(e.g.,a tarp,plastic sheeting,temporary roof)to minimize exposure of
wastes to precipitation,or a similarly effective means designed to minimize the
discharge of pollutants(e.g.,secondary containment);and

Part IV. Stormwater Runoff from Concrete Batch Plants
Discharges of stormwater runoff from concrete batch plants present at regulated
construction sites and operated as a construction support activity may be authorized under
the provisions of this general permit,provided that the following requirements are met for
concrete batch plant(s)authorized under this permit.Only the discharges of stormwater
runoff and non-stormwater from concrete batch plants that meet the requirements of a
construction support activity can be authorized under this permit(see the requirements for
"Non-Stormwater Discharges"in Part II.A.3 and"Discharges of Stormwater Associated with
Construction Support Activity"in Part II.A.2).
If discharges of stormwater runoff or non-stormwater from concrete batch plants are not
authorized under this general permit,then discharges must be authorized under an
alternative general permit or individual permit[see the requirement in Part II.A.2.(c)]
This permit does not authorize the discharge or land disposal of any wastewater from
concrete batch plants at regulated construction sites.Authorization for these wastes must be
obtained under an individual permit or an alternative general permit.
Section A. Benchmark Sampling Requirements
i. Operators of concrete batch plants authorized under this general permit shall sample
the stormwater runoff from the concrete batch plants according to the requirements
of this section of this general permit,and must conduct evaluations on the
effectiveness of the SWP3 based on the following benchmark monitoring values.
Table i.Benchmark Parameters
Benchmark Benchmark Value Sampling Sample Type
Parameter Frequency
Oil and Grease(*i) 15 mg/L i/quarter(*2)(*3) Grab(*4)
Total Suspended 5o mg/L i/quarter(*2)(*3) Grab(*4)
Solids(*i)
pH 6.o—9.o Standard Units i/quarter(*2)(*3) Grab(*4)
Total Iron(*i) 1.3 mg/L i/quarter(*2)(*3) Grab(*4)
(*i) All analytical results for these parameters must be obtained from a laboratory
that is accredited based on rules located in 3o TAC§25.4(a)or through the
National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program(NELAP)
Analysis must be performed using sufficiently sensitive methods for analysis
that comply with the rules located in 4o CFR§136.1(c)and 4o CFR
§122.44(i)(i)(iv)
Page 42
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
(*2) When discharge occurs.Sampling is required within the first 30 minutes of
discharge.If it is not practicable to take the sample,or to complete the
sampling,within the first 3o minutes,sampling must be completed within the
first hour of discharge.If sampling is not completed within the first 30
minutes of discharge,the reason must be documented and attached to all
required reports and records of the sampling activity
(*3) Sampling must be conducted at least once during each of the following periods.
The first sample must be collected during the first full quarter that a
stormwater discharge occurs from a concrete batch plant authorized under this
general permit.
January through March
April through June
July through September
October through December
For projects lasting less than one full quarter,a minimum of one sample shall
be collected,provided that a stormwater discharge occurred at least once
following submission of the NOI or following the date that automatic
authorization was obtained under Section II.E.2,and prior to terminating
coverage.
(*4) A grab sample shall be collected from the stormwater discharge resulting from
a storm event that is at least o.1 inches of measured precipitation that occurs at
least 72 hours from the previously measurable storm event. The sample shall
be collected downstream of the concrete batch plant,and where the discharge
exits any BMPs utilized to handle the runoff from the batch plant,prior to
commingling with any other water authorized under this general permit.
2. The permittee must compare the results of sample analyses to the benchmark values
above,and must include this comparison in the overall assessment of the SWP3's
effectiveness.Analytical results that exceed a benchmark value are not a violation of
this permit,as these values are not numeric effluent limitations.Results of analyses
are indicators that modifications of the SWP3 should be assessed and may be
necessary to protect water quality The operator must investigate the cause for each
exceedance and must document the results of this investigation in the SWP3 by the
end of the quarter following the sampling event.
The operator's investigation must identify the following:
(a) any additional potential sources of pollution,such as spills that might have
occurred,
(b) necessary revisions to good housekeeping measures that are part of the SWP3,
(c) additional BMPs,including a schedule to install or implement the BMPs;and
(d) other parts of the SWP3 that may require revisions in order to meet the goal of
the benchmark values.
Background concentrations of specific pollutants may also be considered during the
investigation.If the operator is able to relate the cause of the exceedance to
background concentrations,then subsequent exceedances of benchmark values for
that pollutant may be resolved by referencing earlier findings in the SWP3.
Background concentrations may be identified by laboratory analyses of samples of
stormwater run-on to the permitted facility,by laboratory analyses of samples of
stormwater run-off from adjacent non-industrial areas,or by identifying the
pollutant is a naturally occurring material in soils at the site.

TCEQ This is not a permit number, registration number, or license number Search
TCEQ's Central Registry to see if the site has an assigned RN at
http.//www15.tceq.texas.gov/crpub/ If this regulated entity has not been assigned an
RN, leave this space blank.
If the site of your business is part of a larger business site, an RN may already be
assigned for the larger site.Use the RN assigned for the larger site.
If the site is found,provide the assigned RN and provide the information for the site
to be authorized through this application.The site information for this authorization
may vary from the larger site information.
An example is a chemical plant where a unit is owned or operated by a separate
corporation that is accessible by the same physical address of your unit or facility
Other examples include industrial parks identified by one common address but
different corporations have control of defined areas within the site.In both cases, an
RN would be assigned for the physical address location and the permitted sites would
be identified separately under the same RN

Dallas. Do not submit this form to TCEQ
b) Construction activity associated with facility associated with exploration, development,
or production of oil, gas, or geothermal resources
If your activity is associated with oil and gas exploration, development,or production,
you may be under jurisdiction of the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) and may
need to obtain authorization from EPA Region 6.
Construction activities associated with a facility related to oil, gas or geothermal
resources may include the construction of a well site; treatment or storage facility;
underground hydrocarbon or natural gas storage facility; reclamation plant; gas
processing facility;compressor station,terminal facility where crude oil is stored prior
to refining and at which refined products are stored solely for use at the facility;a
TCEQ 20022 (3/6/2018) Page 6
Instructions for Notice of Intent for TPDES General Permit TXR150000
carbon dioxide geologic storage facility;and a gathering,transmission, or distribution
pipeline that will transport crude oil or natural gas,including natural gas liquids,prior
to refining of such oil or the use of the natural gas in any manufacturing process or as
a residential or industrial fuel.
Where required by federal law, discharges of stormwater associated with construction
activities under the RRC's jurisdiction must be authorized by the EPA and the RRC, as
applicable. Activities under RRC jurisdiction include construction of a facility that,
when completed, would be associated with the exploration, development, or
production of oil or gas or geothermal resources, such as a well site; treatment or
storage facility;underground hydrocarbon or natural gas storage facility; reclamation
plant; gas processing facility; compressor station, terminal facility where crude oil is
stored prior to refining and at which refined products are stored solely for use at the
facility; a carbon dioxide geologic storage facility under the jurisdiction of the RRC,
and a gathering, transmission, or distribution pipeline that will transport crude oil or
natural gas,including natural gas liquids,prior to refining of such oil or the use of the
natural gas in any manufacturing process or as a residential or industrial fuel.The RRC
also has jurisdiction over stormwater from land disturbance associated with a site
survey that is conducted prior to construction of a facility that would be regulated by
the RRC. Under 33 U.S.C. §1342(1)(2) and §1362(24), EPA cannot require a permit for
discharges of stormwater from field activities or operations associated with{oil and
gas} exploration, production, processing, or treatment operations, or transmission
facilities, including activities necessary to prepare a site for drilling and for the
movement and placement of drilling equipment,whether or not such field activities or
operations may be considered to be construction activities unless the discharge is
contaminated by contact with any overburden, raw material, intermediate product,
finished product,byproduct,or waste product located on the site of the facility Under
§3.8 of this title (relating to Water Protection), the RRC prohibits operators from
causing or allowing pollution of surface or subsurface water Operators are encouraged
to implement and maintain best management practices(BMPs)to minimize discharges
of pollutants,including sediment,in stormwater during construction activities to help
ensure protection of surface water quality during storm events.

INTRODUCTION
RABA KISTNER Consultants,Inc.(RKCI)has completed the authorized subsurface exploration of the existing
pavement adjacent to the door bays at existing Fire Station No. 2. This report briefly describes the
procedures utilized during this study and presents our findings along with the possible causes of pavement
distress.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
We understand that the existing fire station is experiencing pavement distress. The existing concrete
pavement adjacent to the entry bay doors(front and rear)appears to be heaving relative to the interior floor
slab.Vertical movements of greater than 1 inch were observed between the pavement and floor slab. Fire
House No.2 is located at 6050 Fite Road in Pearland,Texas
LIMITATIONS
This engineering report has been prepared in accordance with accepted Geotechnical Engineering
practices in the Houston area by Geotechnical firms conducting similar work under similar circumstances
and is meant for the use of City of Pearland (CLIENT) and its representatives for design purposes. This
report may not contain sufficient information for purposes of other parties or other uses and is not
intended for use in determining construction means and methods.
The recommendations submitted in this report are based on the data obtained from three (3) borings
drilled at this site and our understanding of the project information provided to us by others. If the project
information described in this report is incorrect, is altered, or if new information is available, we should
be retained to review and modify our recommendations.
This report may not reflect the actual variations of the subsurface conditions across the site. The nature
and extent of variations across the site may not become evident until construction commences. The
construction process itself may also alter subsurface conditions. If variations appear evident at the time
of construction, it may be necessary to reevaluate our recommendations after performing on-site
observations and tests to establish the engineering impact of the variations.
The scope of our Geotechnical Engineering Study does not include an environmental assessment of the
air, soil, rock, or water conditions either on or adjacent to the site. No environmental opinions are
presented in this report. RKCI's scope of work does not include the investigation, detection, or design
related to the prevention of any biological pollutants.The term "biological pollutants" includes, but is not
limited to, mold,fungi,spores, bacteria,and viruses,and the byproduct of any such biological organisms.
BORINGS AND LABORATORY TESTS
Subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by 3 borings (designated as B-1 and B-3) drilled at the
locations shown on the Boring Location Map, Figure 1. The boring locations are approximate and were
located in the field by an RKCI representative based on a site plan provided by the CLIENT, and by
measuring distances from existing references and by using a hand-held GPS device. Latitude-longitude at

the boring locations was estimated using Google Earth imagery The coordinates are shown on the boring
logs.
The borings were drilled to depths of 5-ft below the ground surface elevation existing at the time of our
study using a truck-mounted drilling rig. Prior to drilling, the existing concrete pavement at boring
locations B-2 and B-3,was cored with a 6-inch diameter core barrel in order to access the subgrade soils.
A listing of the existing pavement thickness and composition of subgrade immediately beneath pavement
at the borehole locations is presented in the table under the proceeding subsection entitled "Existing
Pavement Structures"
The borings were drilled utilizing a straight flight auger and were backfilled with the auger cuttings
generated during the drilling activities. The final 6-inches of borehole of the borings were then plugged
with bitumen During drilling operations,the following samples were collected

Grab Sample 3
The ST samples were obtained in general accordance with accepted standard practices.Grab samples were
obtained from the auger cuttings generated during the drilling activities. Representative portions of the
samples were sealed in containers to reduce moisture loss, labeled, packaged, and transported to our
laboratory for subsequent testing and classification
In the laboratory, each sample was evaluated and visually classified by a member of our Geotechnical
Engineering staff in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System(USCS).The geotechnical
engineering properties of the strata were evaluated by the laboratory tests tabulated in the following table:

GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS
SITE DESCRIPTION
The project site is the existing Fire Station No.2. It is our understanding the pavement adjacent to the entry
bay doors(front and rear) is experiencing distress due to vertical movement of the subgrade soils.
GEOLOGY
The Bureau of Economic Geology,Geologic Atlas of Texas, Houston Sheet(Revised 1982)shows the subject
site to be located on the Beaumont Formation. The Beaumont Formation is the youngest coast-paralleling
Pleistocene unit in the Texas Gulf Coast. Most of the Beaumont Formation was deposited as an overlapping
group of fluvial or deltaic plains by ancestors of modern streams now draining into the Gulf of Mexico. The
Beaumont formation is comprised of clay,silt,and sand; includes mainly stream channel,point-bar,natural
levee, backswamp, and to a lesser extent coastal marsh and mud-flat deposits, concretions of calcium
carbonate, iron oxide, and iron-manganese oxides in zone of weathering; surface almost featureless,
characterized by relict river channels shown by meander patterns and pimple mounds on meanderbelt
ridges, separated by areas of low, relatively smooth, featureless backswamp deposits without pimple
mounds,formation thickness is+/-100 ft.
The Beaumont Formation soils in the vicinity of the subject site are dominantly clay and mud of low
permeability,high water-holding capacity,high compressibility,high to very high shrink-swell potential,poor
drainage, level to depressed relief, low shear strength, and high plasticity; geologic units include
interdistributary muds,abandoned channel-fill muds,and fluvial overbank muds.
Existing Pavement Thickness and Subgrade Soil Type
Borings B-2 and B-3 were situated on the existing pavement.The measured concrete thicknesses and the
soil types immediately beneath the concrete are tabulated as follows
,Boring ,
No: Floor Slab�Thickness. Soil�In'imediately Beneath
B-1 8-in.concrete Lean Clay w/Sand FILL
B-2 7-in Concrete Sandy Lean Clay FILL
STRATIGRAPHY
The subsurface conditions encountered at the boring locations are shown on the boring logs, Figures 2
through 5.The boring logs should be consulted for boring specific(detailed)stratigraphic information.These
boring logs represent our interpretation of the subsurface conditions based on the field logs, visual
examination of field samples by our personnel, and laboratory test results of selected field samples. Each
stratum has been designated by grouping soils that possess similar physical and engineering
characteristics. The lines designating the interfaces between strata on the boring logs represent
approximate boundaries. Transitions between strata may be gradual.

September 5,2019
The subgrade soils that underlies the pavement section generally consist of approximately 2-ft to 4.5-ft of
semi-cohesive to semi-cohesionless fill comprised of low plastic to plastic,firm to stiff consistency,sandy
lean clay(CL),lean clay with sand(CL),clayey sand(SC),and elastic silt(MH),underlain by cohesive,plastic
fat clay(CH) Roots,wood fragments,calcareous and ferrous nodules were noted at varying depths within
the subject site soils. Measured moisture contents within the fill soils range from 17 to 35 percent.
Measured plasticity indices (PI) within the fill range from 8 to 23. Based on grain size analyses, the
percentage of fines(percent passing a No.200 sieve)within the subject site ranges from 44 to 81 percent.
The underlying natural fat clays measured a PI value of 36.
Semi-cohesionless elastic silt (MH) fill was encountered beneath the concrete pavement in boring B-3
The elastic silt layer extended to the 2-ft depth and measured a liquid limit value of 58 percent, a plastic
limit of 40 percent, and a corresponding PI of 18. The recovered sample measured a fines content of 54
percent.
GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was not observed in the project borings, either during or immediately upon completion of
the drilling operations.These borings remained dry during the field exploration phase.
It is possible for groundwater to exist beneath this site at shallow depths on a transient basis, particularly
in interbedded sand seams following periods of precipitation. Fluctuations in groundwater levels are
possible due to variations in rainfall and surface water run-off The construction process itself may also
cause variations in the groundwater levels.
ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
EXPANSIVE SOIL-RELATED MOVEMENTS
The anticipated ground movements due to swelling of the underlying soils at the site were estimated for
slab-on-grade construction using the empirical procedure,Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)
Tex-124-E,Method for Determining the Potential Vertical Rise(PVR).PVR values of about 1%to 1%inches
were estimated for the stratigraphic conditions encountered in our borings.A surcharge load of 1 psi (6-
inch thick concrete section and 6 inches of select fill above existing grade), an active zone of 7-ft, and
existing to dry conditions were assumed in estimating the above PVR values.
The TxDOT method of estimating expansive soil-related movements is based on empirical correlations
utilizing the measured plasticity indices and assuming typical seasonal fluctuations in moisture content. If
desired, other methods of estimating expansive, soil-related movements are available, such as
estimations based on swell tests and/or soil-suction analyses. However, the performance of these tests
and the detailed analysis of expansive soil-related movements were beyond the scope of the current
study It should also be noted that actual movements can exceed the estimated PVR values due to isolated
changes in moisture content(such as due to leaks, landscape watering. )or if water seeps into the soils
to greater depths than the assumed active zone depth due to deep trenching or excavations.

OVEREXCAVATION AND SELECT FILL REPLACEMENT
To reduce expansive,soil-related movements in at-grade construction, a portion of the upper expansive
subgrade clays within the building area can be removed by overexcavating and backfilling with a suitable
select fill material. PVR values have been estimated for overexcavation and select fill replacement to
various depths below the ground surface elevation existing at the time of our study and are summarized
in the table below Recommendations for the selection and placement of select backfill materials are
addressed in a subsequent section of this report.

*below the ground surface elevation existing at the time of our study
The depth of clay to undercut to reduce the estimated PVR value to 1-inch or less would be about 3-ft.
CAMERA INSPECTION OF SANITARY LINE
A plumbing observation utilizing a camera was conducted on Thursday, August 29, 2109 The television
camera was inserted into the existing sanitary sewer line inside the building and identified the following
issues:
1. The sewer line holds water due to improper sloping of the sewer line.
2. Downspouts from building are not draining away from the building, instead it drains into grass
adjacent to the building structure.
3. Water usage should be monitored and a pressure check of the water line may be needed. A sudden
increase in water usage can indicate a leak.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The subgrade underneath the concrete pavement was identified as fill material comprised of approximately
6 inches of clay fill,underlain by cohesive, low plastic to plastic clays.The cohesive to semi-cohesionless fill
material generally does not meet the criteria for select fill,which typically requires a PI value of between 7
and 20 and a liquid limit value of less than 40 percent PI values for the tested fill soils varied from 8 to 23.
The elastic silt layer encountered in boring B-3 measured a liquid limit of 58 percent. However,soil moisture
content did not indicate excessively wet conditions in the subgrade.
During the sanitary sewer line camera inspection,it was observed that the base of the commode has been
lifted off of the floor Based on this observation and the results of the camera survey,the sewer line is
most likely leaking and needs to be repaired We also recommend draining the roof downspouts away
from the building and onto the existing pavement,or into an underground drain system that carries storm
water runoff to the nearest storm sewer or to the onsite retention pond.

Pearland,Texas 77584
Dear Mr Upton
This addendum to our geotechnical report entitled Geotechnical Engineering Study, Fire Station No. 2 —
Pavement Distress, 6050 Fite Road, Pearland, Texas 77854 (RKCI Project No. AHA19-074-00) and dated
September 5,2019, presents field and laboratory test results for one(1)20-ft deep boring. Boring B-4 was
drilled on January 17, 2020 and was located on the existing concrete pavement driveway in front of Fire
Station No.2. The boring location is shown on the attached Boring Location Map(Figure 1) The additional
boring was requested by you via electronic mail dated January 13,2020.
The boring was drilled in front of the fire station bay doors to a depth of 20-ft using a truck-mounted
drilling rig. Prior to drilling,the concrete pavement at boring B-4 was cored with a 6-inch diameter core
barrel in order to access the subgrade soils. The existing pavement thickness and composition of subgrade
immediately beneath pavement at the borehole location is presented on the attached boring log.
EXISTING PAVEMENT THICKNESSES
The existing pavement was cored at the boring location.The measured pavement section thicknesses and
the soil types immediately beneath the pavement are summarized below.

STRATIGRAPHY
The subsurface stratigraphy beneath the concrete pavement consists of cohesive soils, plastic, stiff
consistency,sandy lean clay(CL) and lean clay with sand (CL)to about the 4-ft depth,followed by highly
plastic,stiff consistency,fat clay(CH)extending to the 20-ft boring completion depth. Measured moisture
contents range from 24 to 32 percent within the upper 4-ft deep lean clays,and 23 to 33 percent within
the underlying fat clay soils. Measured plasticity indices (PI) and liquid limits range from 32 and 49,
respectively,within a lean clay with sand sample recovered from the 2-ft to 4-ft depth range,and 40 and

63, respectively, within a fat clay sample collected from the 8-ft to 10-ft depth range. A fines content
(percent passing a No.200 sieve)of 79 percent was measured on a lean clay with sample recovered from
the 2-ft to 4-ft depth interval. Roots and sand seams were noted within the upper 4-ft cohesive soils.
Based on an unconfined compression test result,an undrained shear strength of 0.7 tsf was measured on
a fat clay sample recovered from the 6-ft depth.The tested sample had a dry unit weight of 120 pcf
The upper 2-ft sandy lean clay sample was identified as fill. The pavement subgrade sample also contained
traces of lime, based on phenolphthalein testing, which is a typical treatment for cohesive pavement
subgrade.
GROUNDWATER
Free water was not observed in the open borehole during drilling. The "dry" borehole" should not be
considered representative of the areal groundwater level because the borehole was founded within
relatively impermeable fat clays.
FOUNDATION ANALYSIS
EXPANSIVE SOIL-RELATED MOVEMENTS
The anticipated ground movements due to swelling of the underlying soils at the site were estimated for
slab-on-grade construction using the empirical procedure,Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)
Tex-124-E, Method for Determining the Potential Vertical Rise (PVR). A PVR value between 11/2 and 11/2
inches was estimated for the stratigraphic conditions encountered in our boring. A surcharge load of 1.0
psi (6-inch concrete slab), an active zone of 7-ft, and existingmoisture conditions were assumed in
estimating the above PVR value.
The TxDOT method of estimating expansive soil-related movements is based on empirical correlations
utilizing the measured plasticity indices and assuming typical seasonal fluctuations in moisture content. If
desired, other methods of estimating expansive, soil-related movements are available, such as
estimations based on swell tests and/or soil-suction analyses. However,the performance of these tests
and the detailed analysis of expansive soil-related movements were beyond the scope of the current
study It should also be noted that actual movements can exceed the estimated PVR values due to isolated
changes in moisture content(such as due to leaks, landscape watering. ) or if water seeps into the soils
to greater depths than the assumed active zone depth due to deep trenching or excavations.

SOIL MOISTURE
The soil moisture condition, i.e. dry, wet, or moist, of the exterior borings (B-1 through B-4) and interior
boring (B-5) was evaluated by reviewing the moisture content and Atterberg limits test results of the
recovered soil samples from project borings B-1 through B-5. The exterior subsurface soils within the upper
about 6-ft depth were found to be generally in a wetter state than the subgrade soils sampled from the
interior boring B-5. The plot of soil water content versus depth is attached to this addendum report.
(CAUSES:OE DISTRESS
The findings and "conclusions presented in our initial report dated:September 5, 1919 recommended'
directing the building downspouts to channel"water away from-the building structure;."or piped into-the
storm drain, and:repairing the sanitary sewer line, which"based-on.the camera inspection,.is not graded
sufficiently,,to.drain: Standing,water was observedmithin the"sewer line. Also,the.comm"ode located'in the
southwest corner of the"buildingwas-observed;to be separated',from the floor:)
Boring B-5,which was situated in the center of the fire engine room,did not provide much insight as to the
cause of the building distress. Our initial survey revealed problems with the roof drainage; the generally
high plasticity, cohesive subgrade soils along the building perimeter,as explored by borings B-1 through B-
4,are in a relatively"wet"condition most likely created by the lack of proper drainage. The exterior fat clay
subgrade most likely swelled because of the increased moisture and raised the concrete pavement outside
the bay doors relative to the interior floor slab.
The southwest corner of the existing building should be investigated further, based on the results of our
drain line inspection and the movement observed with the commode. Also, as mentioned in our previous
addendum dated January 23, 2020, a leveling survey of the first floor slab is strongly recommended to
delineate areas that have the most elevation change and subsequent highest distress. The subgrade soils
and moisture condition within these distressed areas could then be investigated with additional interior
borings.

TERMINOLOGY
Terms used in this report to describe soils with regard to their consistency or conditions are in general accordance with the
discussion presented in Article 45 of SOILS MECHANICS IN ENGINEERING PRACTICE,Terzaghi and Peck,John Wiley&Sons, Inc.,
1967, using the most reliable information available from the field and laboratory investigations. Terms used for describing soils
according to their texture or grain size distribution are in accordance with the UNIFIED SOIL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM,as described
in American Society for Testing and Materials D2487-06 and D2488-00, Volume 04.08, Soil and Rock; Dimension Stone;
Geosynthetics;2005.
The depths shown on the boring logs are not exact,and have been estimated to the nearest half-foot. Depth measurements may
be presented in a manner that implies greater precision in depth measurement, i.e 6.71 meters. The reader should understand
and interpret this information only within the stated half-foot tolerance on depth measurements.

SAMPLING METHODS
RELATIVELY UNDISTURBED SAMPLING
Cohesive soil samples are to be collected using three-inch thin-walled tubes in general accordance with the Standard Practice
for Thin-Walled Tube Sampling of Soils(ASTM D1587)and granular soil samples are to be collected using two-inch split-barrel
samplers in general accordance with the Standard Method for Penetration Test and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils(ASTM
D1586). Cohesive soil samples may be extruded on-site when appropriate handling and storage techniques maintain sample
integrity and moisture content.
STANDARD PENETRATION TEST(SPT)
A 2-in.-OD,1-3/8-in.-ID split spoon sampler is driven 1.5 ft into undisturbed soil with a 140-pound hammer free falling 30 in.
After the sampler is seated 6 in.into undisturbed soil,the number of blows required to drive the sampler the last112 in.is the
Standard Penetration Resistance or"N"value,which is recorded as blows per foot as described below
SPLIT-BARREL SAMPLER DRIVING RECORD
Blows Per Foot Description
25 25 blows drove sampler 12 inches,after initial 6 inches of seating.
50/7" 50 blows drove sampler 7 inches,after initial 6 inches of seating.
Ref/3" 50 blows drove sampler 3 inches during initial 6-inch seating interval.
NOTE.To avoid damage to sampling tools,driving is limited to 50 blows during or after seating interval.

Shrink-Swell Repair/Remediation Efforts
Backfill Requirements for Sanitary Sewer Lines
Dear Mr Nikel
Backfill for sanitary sewer lines(inside and outside the existing building structure)should consist of select
cohesive fill having a plasticity limit between 7 and 20 and a liquid limit not exceeding 40 percent.
The backfill should be placed in 8-inch thick lifts and compacted to 95 percent standard Proctor
(ASTM D698) at a moisture content within two percentage points of the optimum moisture.
Sanitary sewer line backfill beneath pavement should consist of cement-stabilized sand to within 2
feet of pavement subgrade, followed by select fill to final grade. Cement stabilized sand should be
compacted in 12-in.thick lifts at a 95 percent compaction ratio (D698) and at a moisture content below
the optimum moisture.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of professional service to you on this project. Should you have any
questions about the information presented in this report, please call.
Very truly yours,

3.01 SOURCE QUALIFICATIONS FOR BORROW MATERIAL
A Use of material encountered in excavations is acceptable, provided applicable
requirements are satisfied. If excavation material is not acceptable,provide from other
approved source.
B Identify off-site sources for 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 uniform 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 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, a Change Order is
required to change to a different material.
D Bank sand, select fill, and random fill, 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 Owner does not represent or guarantee that any soil found in the excavation work
will be suitable and acceptable as backfill material.
3.02 MATERIAL HANDLING
A When 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 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 material suitable for backfilling in stockpiles at a distance from the trench to
prevent slides or cave-ins. Do not place stockpiles of excavated materials on public
streets.

bedding placement.
2) Stable Wet Trench in Sandy Soils.Excavation drainage is
provided in the embedment zone in combination with
ground water control in predominately sandy or silty soils.
c. Unstable Trench. Unstable trench conditions exist in the pipe
embedment zone if ground water inflow or high water content causes
soil disturbances,such as sloughing,sliding,boiling,heaving or loss of
density
9 Sub-trench - a special case of benched excavation. Sub-trench excavation
below trench shields or shoring installations may be used to allow placement
and compaction of foundation or embedment materials directly against
undisturbed soils. Depth of a sub-trench depends upon trench stability and
safety as determined by the Contractor
10 Trench Dam - a placement of low permeability material in pipe embedment
zone or foundation to prohibit ground water flow along the trench.
11 Over-Excavation and Backfill - excavation of subgrade soils with
unsatisfactory bearing capacity or composed of otherwise unsuitable materials

CITY OF PEARLAND EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL
FOR UTILITIES
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. Provide sufficient
space between shoring cross braces to permit equipment operations and handling of
forms,pipe, embedment and backfill, 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.
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 driven into or below
the pipe embedment zone in place to preclude loss of support of foundation
and embedment materials. Leave rangers,walers,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.
5/2013 02318-9 of 15
CITY OF PEARLAND EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL
FOR UTILITIES
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
3.03 TRENCH FOUNDATION
A. Excavate bottom of trench to uniform grade to achieve stable trench conditions and
satisfactory compaction of foundation or bedding materials.
B Place trench dams in Class I foundations in line segments longer than 100 feet between
manholes, and not less than one in every 500 feet of pipe placed. Install additional
dams as needed to achieve workable construction conditions. Do not place trench
dams closer than 5 feet from manholes.
3.04 PIPE EMBEDMENT PLACEMENT AND COMPACTION
A. Immediately prior to placement of embedment materials,the bottoms and sidewalls of
trenches shall be free of loose, sloughing, caving, or otherwise unsuitable soil.
B Place Geotextile,if specified,to prevent particle migration from the in-situ into open-
graded(Class I)embedment materials or drainage layers.
C Place embedment including bedding, haunching and initial backfill to meet
requirements indicated on Plans. PVC & HDPE require cement stabilized sand
bedding and backfill to one foot below subgrade or below grade if under pavement,or
one foot above top of pipe if not under pavement.
D For pipe installation,manually spread embedment materials around the pipe to provide
uniform bearing and side support when compacted. Do not allow materials to free-fall
from heights greater than 24 inches above top of pipe. Perform placement and
compaction directly against the undisturbed soils in the trench sidewalls, or against
sheeting which is to remain in place.
E. Do not place trench shields or shoring within height of the embedment zone unless
means to maintain the density of compacted embedment material are used. If
moveable supports are used in embedment zone, lift the supports incrementally to
allow placement and compaction of the material against undisturbed soil.
F Do not damage coatings or wrappings of pipes during backfilling and compacting
operations. When embedding coated or wrapped pipes, do not use crushed stone or
other sharp, angular aggregates.

between manholes, and not less than one in every 500 feet of pipe placed. Install
additional dams as needed to achieve workable construction conditions. Do not place
trench dams closer than 5 feet from manholes.
3.05 TRENCH ZONE BACKFILL PLACEMENT AND COMPACTION
A. Place backfill for pipe or conduits and restore surface as soon as practicable. Leave
only the minimum length of trench open as necessary for construction. Backfill
placement and compaction shall apply to all soils excavated for the trench especially

3.5 psig to 2.5 psig, at the end of this Section, are based on the
equation from TCEQ Design Criteria for Sewerage Systems.
317.2(a)(4)(B).
T=0 0850(D)(K)/(Q)
Where:
T = Time for pressure to drop 1 0 pounds per square
inch gauge in seconds
K = 0 000419 DL, but not less than 1 0
D = Average inside diameter in inches
L = Length of line of same pipe size in feet
Q = Rate of loss, 0 0015 ft3/min./sq ft. internal surface
b Since a K value of less than 1 0 shall not be used, there are
minimum testing times for each pipe diameter as given in Table
02732-3,Minimum Testing Times for Low Pressure Air Test.
Notes. 1 When two sizes of pipe are involved,the time shall
be computed by the ratio of lengths involved.
2. Line with a 27-inch average inside diameter and
larger may be air tested at each joint.
3 Lines with an average inside diameter greater than
36 inches must be air tested for leakage at each joint
4 If the joint test is used, a visual inspection of the
joint shall be performed immediately after testing.
5 For joint test,the pipe is to be pressurized to 3.5 psi
greater than the pressure exerted by groundwater
above the pipe Once the pressure has stabilized,the
minimum times allowable for the pressure to drop
from 3.5 pounds per square inch gauge to 2.5
pounds per square inch gauge shall be 10 seconds.
N Leakage Testing for Manholes
4/2013 02530- 15 of 20
CITY OF PEARLAND GRAVITY SANITARY SEWERS
1 After completion of manhole construction,wall sealing,or rehabilitation,but
prior to backfilling, test manholes for water tightness using hydrostatic or
vacuum testing procedures.
2. Plug influent and effluent lines, including service lines, with suitably-sized
pneumatic or mechanical plugs. Ensure plugs are properly rated for pressures
required for test; follow manufacturer's safety and installation
recommendations. Place plugs a minimum of 6 inches outside of manhole
walls. Brace inverts to prevent lines from being dislodged if lines entering
manhole have not been backfilled.
3 Vacuum testing:
a. Install vacuum tester head assembly at top access point of manhole
and adjust for proper seal on straight top section of manhole
structure. Following manufacturer's instructions and safety
precautions,inflate sealing element to the recommended maximum
inflation pressure; do not over-inflate.
b Evacuate manhole with vacuum pump to 10 inches mercury(Hg),
disconnect pump, and monitor vacuum for the time period
specified in Table 02530-4, Vacuum Test Time Table.
c. If the drop in vacuum exceeds 1 inch Hg over the specified time
period tabulated above,locate leaks,complete repairs necessary to
seal manhole and repeat test procedure until satisfactory results are
obtained.
4 Hydrostatic exfiltration testing shall be performed as follows.
a. Seal wastewater lines coming into the manhole with an internal
pipe plug. Then fill the manhole with water and maintain it full for
at least one hour
b The maximum leakage for hydrostatic testing shall be 0 025 gallons
per foot diameter per foot of manhole depth per hour
c. If water loss exceeds amount tabulated above, locate leaks, complete
repairs necessary to seal manhole and repeat test procedure until
satisfactory results are obtained.

F When specified or called in the Plans, use an asphalt mastic coating conforming to
requirements of AASHTO M243,except that asbestos fibers will not be used. Perform
this process at the fabrication plant. Apply asphalt mastic material uniformly to the
outside surface with a minimum thickness of 0 05 inch. Pinholes, blisters, cracks or
lack of bond are cause for rejection.
G When protective coatings are applied to structures,be sure that the thickness of metal
is clearly identified on the inner surface of each section with paint or other approved
means. Repair damaged protective coatings, linings and invert paving. Use
bituminous material conforming to provisions of AASHTO M190 or other approved
materials to repair damaged asphalt mastic coatings.
H Coat that portion of nuts and bolts projecting outside the pipe after installation. The
portion of nuts and bolts projecting inside the structure need not be coated.
When asphalt mastic is used for protective coating,the surface at joints of the structure
need not be coated prior to assembly Thoroughly seal joints after assembly with
asphalt mastic on outside of the structure.
3.02 CONSTRUCTION METHODS
A Excavate in accordance with Section 02318 —Excavation and Backfill for Utilities.
Make trenches for pipes,pipe arches,underpasses or box culverts of sufficient width to
provide free working space for erection and thorough tamping of backfill and bedding
material under and around the structure. If the quality of the native soil is less than that
of the proposed backfill material,extended the excavation to each side of the barrel,a
minimum horizontal distance of half the span or two-thirds of the total rise,whichever
is greater
B Foundations, Structural Plate Structures with Metal Inverts. Have these structures
bedded in a foundation of sandy earth material carefully and accurately shaped to fit
the lower part of the pipe for at least ten percent of its overall height. However, the
length of bedding arch need not exceed the width of the bottom plate Obtain uniform
seating of corrugations on pipe bed by placing the sandy material at least 3 inches
thick. For culverts,place bedding to full width of the invert.
1 Excavation in Rock: Where rock, in either ledge or boulder formation, is
encountered, remove it below grade and replace with a compacted earth
cushion having a thickness of not less than 1/2 inch per foot height of fill over
top of the pipe, with the minimum allowable thickness of 12 inches and a
maximum of 24 inches under the pipe.
2. Where the soil encountered at the established grade is a quicksand, muck or
similar unstable material, remove and replace it in accordance with Section
02318— Excavation and Backfill for Utilities. When required, use special
bedding as shown on Plans.
07/2006 02624-5 of 7
CITY OF PEARLAND STRUCTURAL PLATE CULVERT STRUCTURES
C Foundations, Structural Plate Structures with Reinforced Concrete Footings. Form
footings for these structures and finish them to true lines and grades as established by
Engineer
1 Set anchors or slots for box culverts to true line and grade when placing
concrete for each substructure unit. Conform to Section 03300—Cast-in-Place
Concrete for placing substructure units.
2. Place footings entirely in rock,shale or similarly hard material,or on firm soil
or compacted soil cushion. When part of the founding area is rock,undercut it
and replace it with a minimum 12 inch thick compacted soil cushion. When a
thin layer of soil is partially covering rock within the bearing area and when
practical to do so,soil may be removed and footings placed directly on rock in
accordance with details shown on Plans.
D Erection. Install structural plate structures in accordance with Plans and
manufacturer's recommendations.
1 Coat any steel in joints which is not protected by galvanizing with suitable
bituminous coating.
2. Handle pipes and plates carefully to avoid damage to any protective coating.
Repair damaged coatings
3 For anchoring plates to headwalls or other concrete end treatment,use anchor
bolts with 3/4 inch diameter by 6 inch minimum length on not more than 19-
inch centers.
4 Do not place plates for arch structures until the concrete cement substructure
has cured for a minimum of 3 days.
5 When all plates are in position, tighten nuts and bolts progressively and
uniformly,beginning at one end of the structure. Tighten nuts a second time to
a torque of not less than 150 ft-lbs nor more than 300 ft-lbs for steel bolts and
not less than 100 ft-lbs nor more than 150 ft-lbs for aluminum bolts. If an
impact wrench is used,check with a long-handled,structural or socket wrench
or a torque wrench to ensure that they are properly tightened. Replace service
bolts used in drawing the plates together with standard high strength bolts.
E Shape Control. Furnish acceptable shape control devices for monitoring horizontal
and vertical shape of structures. Maintain the shape within two percent of design
measurements span or rise,whichever is greater or 5 inches,whichever is less,during
erection and backfilling.
F Backfilling: Perform backfilling and embankment construction around the pipe in
accordance with Section 02318— Excavation and Backfill for Utilities, except as
modified below
1 Within vertical planes 2 feet beyond the horizontal limits of the structure and
until a minimum of 2 feet of cover has been compacted over the structure,only
hand operated, mechanical tamping equipment shall be permitted.
2. Unless otherwise shown,no heavy earth moving equipment shall be permitted
to haul over the structure until a minimum of 2 feet of permanent or temporary
compacted fill has been placed. Remove and replace plates or structures
damaged by equipment or backfilling operation.
07/2006 02624-6 of 7
CITY OF PEARLAND STRUCTURAL PLATE CULVERT STRUCTURES
3 During backfilling, to avoid unequal pressures and produce uniformly
compacted backfill material of uniform density throughout the length of the
structure and ensure proper backfill under the structure.
4 Prior to adding each new layer of loose backfill material, until a minimum 2
feet of cover is obtained,an inspection will be made of the inside periphery of
the structure to determine any local or unequal deformation caused by improper
construction methods.
5 Backfill the structure so that when backfill is complete the inside dimensions
are within tolerances set forth in shape control. In the case of arches other than
pipe arches when backfilling is completed before headwalls are placed,place
the first material midway between ends of the arch,forming as narrow a ramp
as possible until the top of the arch is reached. Construct the ramp evenly from
both sides. Thoroughly the backfilling material as it is placed. After two
ramps have been constructed to the top of the arch, deposit the remainder of
backfill from the top of the arch both ways from the center,to the ends and as
evenly as possible on both sides of the arch. If headwalls are built before the
arch is backfilled,place fill material first adjacent to one headwall until the top
of the arch has been reached, after which fill shall be dumped from the top of
the arch toward the other headwall,with care being taken to deposit material
evenly on both sides of the arch.
6 For multiple structures,perform same backfill process for all structures more
or less simultaneously Backfilling between barrels will usually require that
the material be placed with a crane and bucket or other suitable equipment. Do
not drop backfill material from a height or concentrated in such an amount
prior to distribution over the top arc that damage to the flexible structure will
result. Compact this backfill with hand operated tampers or other equipment

JACKING PIPE OR BOX
1.0 GENERAL
1.01 SECTION INCLUDES
A Description-Furnish and install pipe or box by jacking.
B Direct Jacking
Direct jacking of concrete box is a method of installing a Precast Reinforced Concrete
Box (RCB) under roadways, railways, runway or highways in lieu of the open cut
method.The box jacking procedure uses a PIPE OR BOX that is suitable to be jacked
through the soil, sizes range from an end area of approximately 32 square feet to 144
square feet(8' x 4' to 12' x 12').Maximum jacking loads are controlled by pumping
bentonite or suitable lubricants around the outside of the box during the jacking
operation. Typically,jacks are oversized so they can be operated at a lower pressure
and maintain a reserve jacking capacity It is common,although not mandatory,to use
a 24-hour operation when pushing box,reducing the possibility that the box will freeze
or"set" in the ground.

transverse and longitudinal motion in direction work is progressing.
Maintain screed in contact with forms. Use longitudinal float to level
surface.
B On narrow strips and transitions, finish concrete driveway by hand. Thoroughly
work concrete around reinforcement and embedded fixtures. Strike off concrete
with strike-off screed. Move strike-off screed forward with combined transverse
and longitudinal motion in direction work is progressing, maintaining screed in
contact with forms, and maintaining slight excess of materials in front of cutting
edge. Tamp concrete with tamping template. Use longitudinal float to level
surface.
C. While concrete is still workable, give surface final belting to produce a uniform
surface of gritty texture. Perform belting with short rapid transverse strokes having
sweeping longitudinal motion.
3.07 JOINTS AND JOINT SEALING
A. When new work is adjacent to existing concrete, place joints at same location as
existing joints in adjacent pavement.

3.02 PREPARATION
A. Prepare previously placed concrete by cleaning with steel brush and applying bonding
agent in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
B In locations where new concrete is dowelled to existing work, drill holes in existing
concrete, insert steel dowels and pack solid with non-shrink grout.
3.03 PREPARATION OF SURFACES FOR CONCRETING
A. Earth Surfaces.
1 Under interior slabs on grade,install vapor barrier Lap joints at least 6 inches
and seal watertight with tape,or sealant applied between overlapping edges and
ends. Repair vapor barrier damaged during placement of reinforcing and
inserts with vapor barrier material,lap over damaged areas at least 6 inches and
seal watertight.
2. Other Earth Surfaces: Thoroughly wet by sprinkling prior to placing concrete,
and keep moist by frequent sprinkling up to time of placing concrete thereon.
Remove standing water Surfaces shall be free from standing water,mud and
debris at the time of placing concrete.
B Construction Joints.
1 Definition. Concrete surfaces upon or against which concrete is to be placed,
where the placement of the concrete has been interrupted so that, in the
judgment of the Engineer,new concrete cannot be incorporated integrally with
that previously placed.
2. Interruptions When placing of concrete is to be interrupted long enough for
the concrete to take a set,use forms or other means to shape the working face
to secure proper union with subsequent work. Make construction joints only
where acceptable to the Engineer
3 Preparation. Give horizontal joint surfaces a compacted,roughened surface for
good bond. Except where the Plans call for joint surfaces to be coated,clean
joint surfaces of laitance, loose or defective concrete and foreign material by
hydroblasting or sandblasting(exposing aggregate),roughen surface to expose
aggregate to a depth of at least 1/4 inch and wash thoroughly Remove
standing water from the construction joint surface before new concrete is
placed.
4 After surfaces have been prepared cover approximately horizontal construction
joints with a 3-inch lift of a grout mix consisting of Class A concrete batched
without coarse aggregate; place and spread grout uniformly Place wall
concrete on the grout mix immediately thereafter
5/2013 03300- 13 of 38
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
C. Set and secure reinforcement, anchor bolts, sleeves, inserts and similar embedded
items in the forms where indicated on Plans,Shop Drawings and as otherwise required.
Obtain the Engineer's acceptance before concrete is placed. Accuracy of placement is
the sole responsibility of the Contractor
D Unless otherwise approved by Engineer,place no concrete until at least 4 hours after
formwork,inserts,embedded items,reinforcement and surface preparation have been
completed and accepted by the Engineer Clean surfaces of forms and embedded items
that have become encrusted with grout or previously-placed concrete before placing
adjacent concrete.
E. Casting New Concrete Against Old. Where concrete is to be cast against old concrete
(any concrete which is greater than 60 days of age),thoroughly clean and roughen the
surface of the old concrete by hydro-blasting or sandblasting (exposing aggregate).
Coat joint surface with epoxy bonding agent following manufacturer's written
instructions,unless indicated otherwise. Unless noted otherwise,this provision does
not apply to vertical wall joints where waterstop is installed.

space to be filled with concrete has been properly cut off or diverted and carried out of
the forms,clear of the work. Deposit no concrete underwater Do not allow still water
to rise on any concrete until concrete has attained its initial set. Do not allow water to
flow over the surface of any concrete in a manner and at a velocity that will damage
the surface finish of the concrete. Pumping,dewatering and other necessary operations
for removing ground water, if required, are subject to the Engineer's review
G Corrosion Protection. Position and support pipe, conduit, dowels and other ferrous
items to be embedded in concrete construction prior to placement of concrete so there
is at least a 2 inch clearance between them and any part of the concrete reinforcement.

3.08 HANDLING,TRANSPORTING AND PLACING CONCRETE
A. Conform to applicable requirements of this Section and Chapter 8 of ACI 301-
99•Specifications for Structural Concrete—IP,Chapter 8. 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
form 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 forms so it
reaches the place of final deposit without separation. Free fall of concrete shall
not exceed 4 feet below the ends of pump hoses, ducts, chutes or buggies.
Uniformly distribute concrete during depositing.
4 Do not displace concrete in forms more than 6 feet in horizontal direction from
place where it was originally deposited.
5 Deposit in uniform 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 form 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.
5/2013 03300-22 of 38
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
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 rising.
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.
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-96.Placing
Concrete by Pumping Methods.
D Replace pumping equipment and hoses(conduits)that do not function properly
E. Do not use aluminum conduits for conveying concrete.
F Field Quality 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
5/2013 03300-23 of 38
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
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-96•Guide for
Consolidation of Concrete, 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 forms 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,with standby units as required,to accomplish the results specified
within 15 minutes after concrete of specified consistency is placed in the forms. Keep
vibrating heads from contact with form 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

Plans.
B Rough Form Finish.
1 No form facing material is required on rough form finish surfaces.
2. Patch tie holes and defects. Chip off fins exceeding 1/4 inch in height.
3 Rough form finish may be used on concrete surfaces which will be concealed
from view by earth in completed structure,except concealed surfaces required
to have smooth form finish, as shown on Plans.
C. Smooth Form Finish.
1 Form facing shall produce smooth, hard, uniform texture on concrete. Use
plywood linings or forms in as large sheets as practicable, and with smooth,
even edges and close joints.
2. Patch tie holes and defects. Rub fins and joint marks with wooden blocks to
leave smooth, unmarred finished surface.
3 Provide smooth form finish on the wet face of formed surfaces of water-
holding structures, and of other formed surfaces not concealed from view by
earth in completed structure,except where otherwise indicated on Plans. Walls
that will be exposed after future construction,at locations indicated on Plans,
shall have smooth form finish. Smooth form finish on exterior face of exterior
walls shall extend below final top of ground elevation. Exterior face of all
perimeter grade beams shall have smooth form finish for full depth of grade
beam.
D Rubbed Finish.
1 Use plywood linings or forms in as large sheets as practicable, and with
smooth, even edges and close joints.
2. Remove forms as soon as practicable,repair defects,wet surfaces,and rub with
No 16 carborundum stone or similar abrasive. Continue rubbing sufficiently
to bring surface paste,remove form marks and fins,and produce smooth,dense
5/2013 03300-25 of 38
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
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 Plans,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

3.26 CURING
A. Comply with ACI 308.1-98•Standard Specifications for Curing Concrete. Cure by
preventing loss of moisture, rapid temperature change and mechanical injury for a
period of 7 curing days when Type II or IP cement has been used and for 3 curing days
when Type III 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 permitted 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
B Cure formed surfaces not requiring rub-finished surface by leaving forms in place for
the full curing period. Keep wood forms wet during the curing period. Add water as
5/2013 03300-32 of 38
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
needed for other types of forms. Or, at Contractor's option, forms may be removed
after 2 days and curing compound applied.
C. Rubbed Finish.
1 At formed surfaces requiring rubbed finish, remove forms as soon as
practicable without damaging the surface.
2. After rub-finish operations are complete, continue curing formed surfaces by
using either approved curing/sealing compounds or moist cotton mats until
normal curing period is complete.
D Unformed 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 forms 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.
5/2013 03300-33 of 38
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
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 forms 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 forms 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 Forms 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 form 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.
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.
5/2013 03300-34 of 38
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
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 permit 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 formwork supporting weight of concrete.
C Floors supporting shores under newly-placed concrete. 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, forms 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 form liner facing material. For metal forms, straighten, remove dents and
clean to return forms to original condition.

k. Class A and D Concrete Shrinkage Tests Performance of drying
shrinkage tests for trial batches as follows.
1) Preparation and Testing of Specimens. Compression and
drying shrinkage test specimens will be taken in each case from
the same concrete sample; shrinkage tests will be considered a
part of the normal compression tests for the project. 4-inch by
4-inch by 11-inch prisms with an effective gage length of 10
inches, fabricated, cured, dried and measured in accordance
with ASTM C157,modified as follows
(a). Wet curing: Remove specimens from molds at an age
of 23 hours ±1 hour after trial batching and
immediately immerse in water at 70 degrees F ±3
degrees F for at least 30 minutes;
(b). Measure within 30 minutes after first 30 minutes of
immersion to determine original length (not to be
confused with "base length");
(c). Then submerge in saturated limewater,at 73 degrees F
±3 degrees F, for 7 days,
(d). Then measure at age 7 days to establish "base length"
for drying shrinkage calculations ("zero" days drying
age);
(e). Calculate expansion (base length expressed as a
percentage of original length);
(f). Immediately store specimens in a temperature and
humidity controlled room maintained at 73 degrees F,
±3 degrees, and 50 percent relative humidity, ±4
percent, for the remainder of the test.
(g). Measure to determine shrinkage, expressed as
percentage of base length. Compute the drying
shrinkage deformation of each specimen as the
difference between the base length (at ?zero@ days
drying age)and the length after drying at each test age.
Compute the average drying shrinkage deformation of
the specimens to the nearest 0 0001 inch at each test
age. If the drying shrinkage of any specimen departs
from the average of that test age by more than 0 0004
inch,disregard the results obtained from that specimen.
5/2013 03310-5 of 23

less than 60 percent) for 7 days before test; test dry Where
concrete in structure will be more than superficially wet under
service conditions, test cores after moisture conditioning in
accordance with ASTM C42.
2) Take at least three representative cores from each member or
area of concrete in place that is considered potentially deficient.
Location of cores shall be determined by the Engineer so as to
least impair strength of structure. When,before testing,one or
more cores shows evidence of having been damaged during or
after removal from structure,replace the damaged cores.
3) Concrete in area represented by core test will be considered
adequate when average strength of cores is equal to at least 85
percent of specified strength, and when no single core is less
than 75 percent of specified strength.
4) Patch core holes in accordance with Section 03300—Cast-in-
Place Concrete,Paragraph 3 13
e Structural Analysis. When core tests are inconclusive or impractical to
obtain, the Engineer may perform additional structural analysis at
Contractor's expense to confirm safety of structure
f. Load Tests. When core tests and structural analysis do not confirm
safety of structure, load tests may be required, and their results
evaluated, in accordance with ACI 318
g. Testing by impact hammer, sonoscope, probe penetration tests
(Windsor probe),or other nondestructive device may be permitted by
the Engineer to determine relative strengths at various locations in
structure,to evaluate concrete strength in place,or for selecting areas to
be cored. However, such tests, unless properly calibrated and
correlated with other test data,shall not be used as basis for acceptance
or rejection of structure's safety

1.06 STORAGE AND HANDLING OF MATERIALS
A. Cement: Store cement in weather tight buildings, bins or silos to provide protection
from dampness and contamination and to minimize warehouse set. When there is any
doubt as to the expansive potential of shrinkage-compensating cements because of
method or length of storage and exposure, laboratory test cement before use.
B Aggregate. Arrange and use aggregate stockpiles to avoid excessive segregation or
contamination with other materials or with other sizes of like aggregates. Build
stockpiles in successive horizontal layers not exceeding 3 feet in thickness. Complete
each layer before next is started.
C. Fine Aggregate. Before using, allow fine aggregate to drain until uniform moisture
content is reached.
D Admixtures Store admixtures to avoid contamination, evaporation or damage. For
those used in form of suspensions or non-stable solutions,provide suitable agitating
equipment to assure uniform distribution of ingredients. Protect liquid admixtures
from freezing and other temperature changes which would adversely affect their
characteristics.
E. Lightweight Aggregates. Uniformly pre-dampen lightweight aggregates as necessary
to prevent excessive variations in moisture content. Allow pre-dampened aggregates
to remain in stockpiles,under continuous fog spray, for minimum of 24 hours before
use. Provide adequate drainage in stockpile areas to eliminate excess water and
accumulation of contaminated fines.

of mixing aggregates, cement and water into uniform mass within specified
mixing time, and of discharging mix without segregation. Operate mixer
according to rated capacity and recommended revolutions per minute printed
on manufacturer's rating plate
2. Charge batch into mixer so some water will enter before cement and
aggregates. Keep water running until one-fourth of specified mixing time has
elapsed. Provide controls to prevent discharging until required mixing time
has elapsed. When concrete of normal weight is specified,provide controls to
prevent addition of water during mixing. Discharge entire batch before mixer
is recharged.
3 Mix each batch of 2 cubic yards or less for not less than 1 minute and 30
seconds.Increase minimum mixing time 15 seconds for each additional cubic

absorption by weight of lightweight aggregates. Determine total absorption by weight
before pre-damping in accordance with ASTM C127
B Ten Percent or Less Absorption. Follow same requirements as for mixing normal-
weight concrete when preparing concrete made with low-absorptive lightweight
aggregates having 10 percent or less total absorption by weight. To be low-absorptive,
aggregates must absorb less than 2 percent additional water in first hour after mixing.
C More Than 10 Percent Absorption. Batch and mix concrete made with lightweight
aggregates having more than 10 percent total absorption by weight, as follows.

3.0 EXECUTION
3.01 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. Concreting Under Water Not permitted except where shown otherwise on Drawings
or approved by the Engineer When shown or permitted,deposit concrete under water
by methods acceptable to the Engineer so fresh concrete enters mass of previously-
placed concrete from within,causing water to be displaced with minimum disturbance
at surface of concrete.
B Protection from Adverse Weather Unless adequate protection is provided or the
Engineer's approval is obtained, do not place concrete during rain, sleet, snow or
freezing weather Do not permit rainwater to increase mixing water or to damage
surface finish. If rainfall occurs after placing operations begin, provide adequate
covering to protect Work.
3.02 PREPARATION OF SURFACES FOR CONCRETING
A. Earth Surfaces.
5/2013 03310-17 of 23
CITY OF PEARLAND STRUCTURAL CONCRETE
1 Under interior slabs on grade,install vapor barrier Lap joints at least 6 inches
and seal watertight with tape,or sealant applied between overlapping edges and
ends. Repair vapor barrier damaged during placement of reinforcing and
inserts with vapor barrier material,lap over damaged areas at least 6 inches and
seal watertight.
2. Other Earth Surfaces. Thoroughly wet by sprinkling prior to placing concrete,
and keep moist by frequent sprinkling up to time of placing concrete thereon.
Remove standing water Surfaces shall be free from standing water,mud and
debris at the time of placing concrete.
B Construction Joints.
1 Definition. Concrete surfaces upon or against which concrete is to be placed,
where the placement of the concrete has been interrupted so that, in the
judgment of the Engineer,new concrete cannot be incorporated integrally with
that previously placed.
2. Interruptions. When placing of concrete is to be interrupted long enough for
the concrete to take a set,use forms or other means to shape the working face
to secure proper union with subsequent work. Make construction joints only
where acceptable to the Engineer
3 Preparation. Give horizontal joint surfaces a compacted,roughened surface for
good bond. Except where the Drawings call for joint surfaces to be coated,
clean joint surfaces of laitance,loose or defective concrete and foreign material
by hydroblasting or sandblasting (exposing aggregate), roughen surface to
expose aggregate to a depth of at least 1/4 inch and wash thoroughly Remove
standing water from the construction joint surface before new concrete is
placed.
4 After surfaces have been prepared cover approximately horizontal construction
joints with a 3-inch lift of a grout mix consisting of Class A concrete batched
without coarse aggregate; place and spread grout uniformly Place wall
concrete on the grout mix immediately thereafter
C. Set and secure reinforcement, anchor bolts, sleeves, inserts and similar embedded
items in the forms where indicated on Contract Drawings, shop drawings and as
otherwise required. Obtain the Engineer's acceptance before concrete is placed.
Accuracy of placement is the sole responsibility of the Contractor
D Place no concrete until at least 4 hours after formwork, inserts, embedded items,
reinforcement and surface preparation have been completed and accepted by the
Engineer Clean surfaces of forms and embedded items that have become encrusted
with grout or previously-placed concrete before placing adjacent concrete.
5/2013 03310-18 of 23
CITY OF PEARLAND STRUCTURAL CONCRETE
E. Casting New Concrete Against Old. Where concrete is to be cast against old concrete
(any concrete which is greater than 60 days of age),thoroughly clean and roughen the
surface of the old concrete by hydroblasting or sandblasting (exposing aggregate).
Coat joint surface with epoxy bonding agent following manufacturer's written
instructions,unless indicated otherwise. Unless noted otherwise,this provision does
not apply to vertical wall joints where waterstop is installed.
F Protection from Water Place no concrete in any structure until water entering the
space to be filled with concrete has been properly cut off or diverted and carried out of
the forms,clear of the work. Deposit no concrete underwater without special methods.
Do not allow still water to rise on any concrete until concrete has attained its initial
set. Do not allow water to flow over the surface of any concrete in a manner and at a
velocity that will damage the surface finish of the concrete. Pumping,dewatering and
other necessary operations for removing ground water, if required, are subject to the
Engineer's review
G Corrosion Protection. Position and support pipe, conduit, dowels and other ferrous
items to be embedded in concrete construction prior to placement of concrete so there
is at least a 2 inch clearance between them and any part of the concrete reinforcement.
Do not secure such items in position by wiring or welding them to the reinforcement.
H. Where practicable, provide for openings for pipes, inserts for pipe hangers and
brackets, and setting of anchors during placing of concrete.
I. Accurately set anchor bolts and maintain in position with templates while they are
being embedded in concrete.
J Cleaning: Immediately before concrete is placed,thoroughly clean dirt,grease,grout,
mortar,loose scale,rust and other foreign substances from surfaces of metalwork to be
in contact with concrete.
3.03 HANDLING,TRANSPORTING AND PLACING CONCRETE

1 Do not drop concrete through reinforcing steel that will not be covered by
current pour
5/2013 03310-19 of 23
CITY OF PEARLAND STRUCTURAL CONCRETE
2. Do not place concrete in any form so as to leave an accumulation of mortar on
form 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 forms so it
reaches the place of final deposit without separation. Free fall of concrete shall
not exceed 4 feet below the ends of pump hoses, ducts, chutes or buggies.
Uniformly distribute concrete during depositing.
4 Do not displace concrete in forms more than 6 feet in horizontal direction from
place where it was originally deposited. Do not transport concrete with
vibrators.
5 Deposit in uniform 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. Rate of placement shall
not exceed 5 feet of vertical rise per hour
7 Provide sufficient illumination in form 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 rising.
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
5/2013 03310-20 of 23
CITY OF PEARLAND STRUCTURAL CONCRETE
t H. 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
3.04 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.
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.
3.05 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.
3.06 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
5/2013 03310-21 of 23
CITY OF PEARLAND STRUCTURAL CONCRETE
sufficient(at least one) standby units.Use Group 2 vibrators only when.accepted by
the Engineer for specific locations.
,
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 forms 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,with standby units as required,to accomplish the results specified
within 15 minutes after concrete of specified consistency is placed in the forms. Keep
vibrating heads from contact with form surfaces. Take care not to vibrate concrete
excessively or to work it in any manner that causes segregation of its constituents.
3.07 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
3.08 REPAIRING SURFACE DEFECTS AND FINISHING
A. Conform to Section 03300 -Cast-in-Place Concrete.
3.09 CURING
A. Conform to Section 03300 -Cast-in-Place Concrete.
3.10 PROTECTION
A. Protect concrete against damage until final acceptance by the Owner
B Protect fresh concrete from damage due to rain, hail, sleet or snow Provide such
protection while the concrete is still plastic and whenever such precipitation is
imminent or occurring.
5/2013 03310-22 of 23

A. Protect joint sealants during and after curing period from contact with contaminating
substances or from damage resulting from construction operations or other causes so that
they are without deterioration or damage at time of Substantial Completion. If, despite
such protection, damage or deterioration occurs, cut out and remove damaged or deterio-
rated joint sealants immediately and reseal joints with new materials to produce joint
sealant installations with repaired areas indistinguishable from originalwork.
B. Clean off excess sealants or sealant smears adjacent to joints as work progresses by
methods and with cleaning materials approved by manufacturers of joint sealants and of
products in which joints occur

PART 3 -EXECUTION
3 01 INSTALLATION
A. Examine substrates, areas, and conditions under which painting will be performed for compliance
with paint application requirements. Do not begin to apply paint until unsatisfactory conditions
have been corrected and surfaces receiving paint are thoroughly dry
B Coordination of Work: Review other Sections in which primers are provided to ensure
compatibility of the total system for various substrates.
C. Preparation. Remove hardware and hardware accessories, plates, machined surfaces, lighting
fixtures, and similar items already installed that are not to be painted. If removal is impractical or
impossible because of the size or weight of the item, provide surface-applied protection before
surface preparation and painting. After completing painting operations in each space or area,
reinstall items removed using workers skilled in the trades involved.
D Cleaning: Before applying paint or other surface treatments, clean the substrates of substances that
could impair the bond of the various coatings. Remove oil and grease before cleaning. Schedule
cleaning and painting so dust and other contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall on
wet,newly painted surfaces.
E. Surface Preparation. Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted according to manufacturer's written
instructions for each particular substrate condition.
1 Cementitious Materials. Remove efflorescence, chalk, dust, dirt, grease, oils, and release
agents. Roughen as required to remove glaze. If hardeners or sealers have been used to
improve curing,use mechanical methods of surface preparation. Use abrasive blast-cleaning
methods if recommended by paint manufacturer
a. Determine alkalinity and moisture content of surfaces by performing appropriate tests.
If surfaces are sufficiently alkaline to cause the finish paint to blister and burn, correct
this condition. Do not paint surfaces where moisture content exceeds that permitted
in manufacturer's written instructions.
2. Wood. Clean surfaces of dirt, oil, and other foreign substances with scrapers, mineral
spirits, and sandpaper,as required. Sand surfaces exposed to view smooth and dust off.
a. Scrape and clean small, dry, seasoned knots, and apply a thin coat of white shellac or
other recommended knot sealer before applying primer After priming, fill holes and
imperfections in finish surfaces with putty or plastic wood filler Sand smooth when
dried.
b. Prime, stain, or seal wood to be painted immediately on delivery Prime edges, ends,
faces, undersides, and backsides of wood, including cabinets, counters, cases, and
paneling.
c. Seal tops,bottoms, and cutouts of unprimed wood doors with a heavy coat of varnish
or sealer immediately on delivery
3 Ferrous Metals: Clean ungalvanized ferrous-metal surfaces that have not been shop coated,
remove oil, grease, dirt, loose mill scale, and other foreign substances. Use solvent or
mechanical cleaning methods that comply with the Steel Structures Painting Council's
(SSPC)recommendations.
Joiner Architects 09 91 00-3 PAINTING
FIRE STATION NO 2 REPAIRS City of Pearland Fire Department
a. Touch up bare areas and shop-applied prime coats that have been damaged. Wire-
brush,clean with solvents recommended by paint manufacturer, and touch up with the
same primer as the shop coat.
4 Galvanized Surfaces. Clean galvanized surfaces with nonpetroleum-based solvents so
surface is free of oil and surface contaminants. Remove pretreatment from galvanized sheet
metal fabricated from coil stock by mechanical methods.
F Materials Preparation. Mix and prepare paint materials according to manufacturer's written
instructions.
1 Stir material before application to produce a mixture of uniform density Stir as required
during application. Do not stir surface film into material. If necessary, remove surface film
and strain material before using.
2. Use only thinners approved by paint manufacturer and only within recommended limits.
G Application. Apply paint according to manufacturer's written instructions. Use applicators and
techniques best suited for substrate and type of material being applied.
1 Paint colors, surface treatments,and finishes are indicated in the schedules.
2. Do not paint over dirt, rust, scale, grease, moisture, scuffed surfaces, or conditions
detrimental to formation of a durable paint film.
3 Provide finish coats that are compatible with primers used.
4 The term "exposed surfaces" includes areas visible when permanent or built-in items are in
place. Extend coatings in these areas, as required, to maintain the system integrity and
provide desired protection.
5 Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture the same as similar exposed
surfaces. Before the final installation of equipment,paint surfaces behind permanently fixed
equipment or furniture with prime coat only
6. Paint back sides of access panels and removable or hinged covers to match exposed surfaces.
7 Finish exterior doors on tops,bottoms,and side edges the same as exterior faces.
8. Sand lightly between each succeeding enamel or varnish coat.
H. Scheduling Painting: Apply first coat to surfaces that have been cleaned, pretreated, or otherwise
prepared for painting as soon as practicable after preparation and before subsequent surface
deterioration.
1 The number of coats and the film thickness required are the same regardless of application
method. Do not apply succeeding coats until the previous coat has cured as recommended
by the manufacturer If sanding is required to produce a smooth, even surface according to
manufacturer's written instructions,sand between applications.
2. If undercoats, stains, or other conditions show through final coat of paint, apply additional
coats until paint film is of uniform finish, color, and appearance. Give special attention to
ensure edges, corners, crevices, welds, and exposed fasteners receive a dry film thickness
equivalent to that of flat surfaces.
3 Allow sufficient time between successive coats to permit proper drying. Do not recoat
surfaces until paint has dried to where it feels firm, does not deform or feel sticky under
moderate thumb pressure, and where application of another coat of paint does not cause the
undercoat to lift or lose adhesion.
I. Application Procedures. Apply paints and coatings by brush, roller, spray, or other applicators
according to manufacturer's written instructions.
Joiner Architects 09 91 00-4 PAINTING
FIRE STATION NO 2 REPAIRS City of Pearland Fire Department

spreading rate. Provide the total dry film thickness of the entire system as recommended by the
manufacturer
K. Block Fillers: Apply block fillers to concrete masonry block at a rate to ensure complete coverage
with pores filled.
L. Prime Coats. Before applying finish coats, apply a prime coat of material, as recommended by the
manufacturer, to material that is required to be painted or finished and that has not been prime
coated by others. Recoat primed and sealed surfaces where evidence of suction spots or unsealed
areas in first coat appears, to ensure a finish coat with no burn through or other defects due to
insufficient sealing.
M. Completed Work: Match approved samples for color,texture, and coverage. Remove,refinish, or
repaint work not complying with requirements.
N Field Quality Control. The Owner reserves the right to engage the services of an independent
testing agency to sample the paint material being used. Samples of material delivered to the

1.11 DEFINITIONS AND SYMBOLS
A. General Explanation. A substantial amount of construction and Specification language constitutes
definitions for terms found in other Contract Documents, including Drawings which must be
recognized as diagrammatic and schematic in nature and not completely descriptive of
requirements indicated thereon.Certain terms used in Contract Documents are defined generally in
this article,unless defined otherwise in Division 01
B Definitions and explanations of this Section are not necessarily either complete or exclusive,but are
general for work to the extent not stated more explicitly in another provision of the Contract
Documents.
C. Indicated: The term "Indicated" is a cross-reference to details,notes or schedules on the Drawings,
to other paragraphs or schedules in the Specifications and to similar means of
Joiner Architects 22 02 00-4 BASIC MATERIALS AND
METHODS FOR PLUMBING
FIRE STATION NO.2 REPAIRS City of Pearland Fire Department
recording requirements in Contract Documents. Where such terms as "Shown", "Noted",
"Scheduled", "Specified" and "Detailed" are used in lieu of"Indicated", it is for the purpose of
helping the reader locate cross-reference material, and no limitation of location is intended except
as specifically shown.
D Directed. Where not otherwise explained,terms such as "Directed", "Requested", "Accepted", and
"Permitted" mean by the Architect or Engineer However, no such implied meaning will be
interpreted to extend the Architect's or Engineer's responsibility into the Contractor's area of
construction supervision.
E. Reviewed. Where used in conjunction with the Engineer's response to submittals, requests for
information, applications, inquiries, reports and claims by the Contractor the meaning of the term
"Reviewed" will be held to limitations of Architect's and Engineer's responsibilities and duties as
specified in the General and Supplemental Conditions.In no case will "Reviewed"by Engineer be
interpreted as a release of the Contractor from responsibility to fulfill the terms and requirements of
the Contract Documents.
F Furnish: Except as otherwise defined in greater detail, the term "Furnish" is used to mean supply
and deliver new to the project site, ready for unloading,unpacking, assembly, installation, etc., as
applicable in each instance.

a particular unit of work at the project site, including unloading, unpacking, assembly, erection,
placing, anchoring, applying, working to dimension, finishing, curing, protection, cleaning and
similar operations, as applicable in each instance. It is a general requirement that such entities
(Installers)be expert in the operations they are engaged to perform.
J Imperative Language: Used generally in Specifications. Except as otherwise indicated,
requirements expressed imperatively are to be performed by the Contractor For clarity of reading
at certain locations,contrasting subjective language is used to describe responsibilities that must be
fulfilled indirectly by the Contractor,or when so noted by other identified installers or entities.
K. Minimum Quality/Quantity. In every instance, the quality level or quantity shown or specified is
intended as minimum quality level or quantity of work to be performed or provided. Except as
otherwise specifically indicated, the actual work may either comply exactly with that minimum
(within specified tolerances), or may exceed that minimum within reasonable tolerance limits. In
complying with requirements, indicated or scheduled numeric values are either minimums or
maximums as noted or as appropriate for the context of the requirements. Refer instances of
uncertainty to Owner or Engineer via a request for information (RFI) for decision before
proceeding.
L. Abbreviations and Symbols: The language of Specifications and other Contract Documents
including Drawings is of an abbreviated type in certain instances, and implies words and meanings
which will be appropriately interpreted. Actual word abbreviations of a self-

PART 2-PRODUCTS
2.01 NO PRODUCTS SUPPLIED
PART 3-EXECUTION
3.01 GENERAL
A. This Division has startup responsibilities and are required to complete sub-systems so
COMPLETE SYSTEMS are fully functional. Insuring they meet design requirements of
Contract Documents. Commissioning procedures and testing do not relieve or lessen this
responsibility or shift this responsibility, in whole or in part, to Commissioning Agent or
Owner
B. Coordinate with other Sub-Contractors and equipment vendors to set aside adequate time to
address Pre-Functional Checklists, Functional Performance Tests, Operations &
Maintenance Manual creation,Owner Training,and associated coordination meetings.
C. Commissioning authority will also conduct site inspections at critical times and issue Cx
Field Reports with observations on installation deficiencies so that they may be issued by
Architect as deemed appropriate.
3.02 WORK PRIOR TO COMMISSIONING
A. Complete all phases of the work so the systems can be started, adjusted, balanced, tested,
and otherwise tested.
B. See pertinent specification sections in this Division,which outline responsibilities for start-
up of equipment with obligations to complete systems, including all sub-systems so that
they are fully functional.
C. Assist commissioning authority with all information pertaining to actual equipment and
installation as required complete the full commissioning scope.
D Contractor shall prepare startup procedures to demonstrate compliance with pre-functional
checklists, and coordinate scheduling for completion of these checklists.
E. A minimum of 7 days prior to date of system startup, submit to Commissioning authority
for review, detailed description of equipment start-up procedures which contractor proposes
to perform to demonstrate conformance of systems to specifications and Checklists.
3.03 PARTICIPATION IN COMMISSIONING
A. Attend meetings related to the Commissioning Process; arrange for attendance by personnel
and vendors directly involved in the project,prior to testing of their systems.
B Provide skilled technicians to startup and test all systems, and place systems in complete

Joiner Architects 22 08 00-4 COMMISSIONING OF
PLUMBING SYSTEMS
FIRE STATION NO.2 REPAIRS City of Pearland Fire Department
3.04 WORK TO RESOLVE DEFICIENCIES
A. Complete corrective work in a timely manner to allow expeditious completion of
Commissioning Process. If deadlines pass without resolution of identified problems,
Owner reserves the right to obtain supplementary services and/or equipment to resolve the
problem. Costs thus incurred will be Contractor's responsibility
3.05 PRE-FUNCTIONAL CHECKLISTS(PFC)
A. Contractor shall complete Pre-Functional Checklists to validate compliance with Contract
Documents installation and start-up requirements,for this Division's systems.
B Refer to commissioning plan for detailed list of equipment to be commissioned.
3.06 FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE TESTING(FPT)
A. Contractor, in cooperation with Commissioning Agent, shall conduct Functional
Performance Testing to validate compliance with Contract Documents.
B Refer to commissioning plan for detailed list of equipment to be commissioned.
C. Provide commissioning authority with a certificate of readiness to show systems are ready
to schedule functional testing.
D Assist Commissioning authority in Functional Testing by removing equipment covers,
opening access panels, etc. Furnish ladders,flashlights, meters, gauges, or other inspection
equipment as necessary
E. Sampling
1 Multiple identical pieces of non-life-safety or otherwise non-critical equipment
may be functionally tested using a sampling strategy
2. Significant application differences and significant sequence of operation
differences in otherwise identical equipment invalidates their common identity A
small size or capacity difference, alone, does not constitute a difference. It is noted
that no sampling by Subs is allowed in pre-functional checklist execution.
3 A common sampling strategy is the "xx% Sampling - yy% Failure Rule", defined
by the following example.
a. xx=the percent of the group of identical equipment to be included in each
sample.
b. yy=the percent of the sample that if failing,will require another sample to
be tested.
c. The example below describes a 20%Sampling- 10%Failure Rule.
d. Randomly test at least 20% (xx) of each group of identical equipment. In
no case test less than three units in each group. This 20%, or three,
constitute the"first sample."
e. If 10% (yy) of the units in the first sample fail the functional tests, test
another 20%of the group(the second sample).
f. If 10%of the units in the second sample fail, test all remaining units in the
whole group.
Joiner Architects 22 08 00-5 COMMISSIONING OF
PLUMBING SYSTEMS
FIRE STATION NO.2 REPAIRS City of Pearland Fire Department
g. If at any point, frequent failures are occurring and testing is becoming
more troubleshooting than verification, the CxA may stop the testing and
require the responsible Sub to perform and document a checkout of the
remaining units,prior to continuing with functionally testing the remaining
units.
F Re-Testing And Failure To Remedy Deficiencies
1 Despite Contractor's best efforts to ensure systems are problem-free, it is expected
that some deficiencies will be found during initial inspection of Pre-functional
Checklist, and during initial Functional Testing; such deficiencies are expected to
be minimal.
2. It is Contractor's responsibility to remedy identified deficiencies, both in Pre-
functional Checklist and in Functional Testing phases of work, in a timely and
thorough manner
3 It is Contractor's responsibility to ensure that all deficiencies are corrected prior to
requesting a re-inspection or re-test of systems and equipment. Do not request re-
inspection or re-test until deficiencies are corrected.
a. At his discretion, CxA may agree to re-testing systems or equipment where
deficiencies remain which are beyond Contractor's control to resolve
expeditiously
b. Typically such re-testing of incomplete systems and equipment will take
place only if remaining deficiencies are minor in scope and nature, and are
of such nature that they cannot be resolved in a timely manner (such as
those due to difficulties in obtaining parts, or where Owner has requested a
change that has delayed work, etc.)
4 CxA will carry out a second re-inspection or re-test of systems and equipment
subsequent to receiving Contractor's request.
a. If CxA finds deficiencies identified in initial inspection or test have not
been remedied(with exception of un-resolvable deficiencies in 3 b above),
and such remaining deficiencies are significant enough to require
additional inspection or re-testing, Contractor will be back-charged for
CxA's expenses, and time at a rate of $150 00 per hour and $100 00
expenses,for a third and any subsequent re-inspections and re-tests.
G Deferred Testing
1 "Seasonal Commissioning" pertains to testing during peak heating or cooling
seasons when HVAC equipment is operating at full-load or heavy-load conditions.
Initial commissioning will be done as soon as contract work is completed,
regardless of season. Seasonal Commissioning under full- or heavy-load conditions
other than the current season will be handled at later time by GC and CxA.
2. If adequate load may be artificially placed upon heating or cooling equipment,
CxA, at his discretion, may perform functional testing during non-peak load
periods.
3 GC is to provide services of personnel and participate in seasonal testing process in
the same manner as he would in non-seasonal testing.
4 Until off-season commissioning can be accomplished, Owner may retain an
amount from GC's payment sufficient to cover the cost of off-season testing.
5 Unforeseen Deferred Tests. If any check or test cannot be completed due to
building structure, required occupancy condition, or other reason, execution of
checklists and functional testing may be delayed upon approval of Owner Tests
shall be conducted in same manner as seasonal tests, as soon as possible. Services

inspection or testing. The OWNER or the ENGINEER may reject any Work found to be defective
or not in accordance with the Contract Documents, regardless of the stage of its completion or the
time or place of discovery of such deficiencies, and regardless of whether the ENGINEER has
previously accepted the Work through oversight or otherwise. If any Work is covered without
approval or consent of the OWNER, it must, if requested by the OWNER or the ENGINEER, be
uncovered for examination, at the sole expense of the CONTRACTOR. In the event that any part

the OWNER or the ENGINEER with certificates of inspection, testing or approval made by
independent persons competent to perform such tasks at the location where that part of the work is
being manufactured or fabricated. All such tests will be in accordance with the methods prescribed
by the American Society for Testing and Materials or such other applicable organization as may
be required by law or the Contract Documents.

approval or consent of the OWNER or the ENGINEER, it must, if requested by the OWNER or
the ENGINEER, be uncovered for observation and testing, at the sole expense of the
CONTRACTOR. The cost of all such inspections, tests and approvals shall be borne by the
CONTRACTOR unless otherwise provided herein. Any Work which fails to meet the
requirements of such tests, inspections or approval, and any Work which meets the requirements
of any such tests or approval but does not meet the requirements of the Contract Documents shall
be considered defective. Such defective Work and any other work affected thereby shall be
corrected at the CONTRACTOR'S expense.
Neither observations by the OWNER or by the ENGINEER, nor inspections, certifications, tests
or approvals made by the OWNER, the ENGINEER or other persons authorized under this
Agreement to make such inspections, tests or approvals, shall relieve the CONTRACTOR from
his obligation to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract
Documents.
4.20 DEFECTS AND THEIR REMEDIES. It is further agreed that if the Work or any
part thereof or any material brought on the site of the Work for use in the Work or selected for the

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 and the Contract Time; provided, also, that when the
OWNER is having other work done, either by contract or by his own forces, 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, and the CONTRACTOR shall fully cooperate and coordinate its Work with OWNER
or such other contractors.
The CONTRACTOR shall submit, an updated schedule with every pay estimate for review 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. Such schedules shall show
completion of the Work within the Contract Time, and/or shall show such recovery efforts as
CONTRACTOR intends to undertake in the event Substantial Completion of the Work is delayed.
5 02 EXTENSION OF TIME. The CONTRACTOR agrees that he has submitted his
Bid 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 Substantial
Completion of the Work has been delayed solely by strikes, lockouts, fires,Acts of God, or by any
other cause which the ENGINEER shall decide justifies the delay The CONTRACTOR shall give
the ENGINEER prompt notice, in writing and within three (3) days of the start of any such delay,
of the cause of any such delay, and its estimated effect on the Work and the schedule for
completion of the Work. Upon receipt of a written request for an extension of the Contract Time
from the CONTRACTOR, supported by relevant and all requested documentation, the
10-2012 00700- 18 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
ENGINEER shall submit such written request, together with his written recommendation, to the
OWNER for consideration. If the delay is not attributable in whole or in part to any act or
omission of CONTRACTOR, its subcontractors or suppliers, and if the OWNER determines that
CONTRACTOR is entitled to an extension of time under the terms of the Contract, the OWNER
shall grant an extension of time for Substantial Completion of the Work, sufficient to compensate
for the delay, and such extension of time shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive remedy,
except as may be otherwise provided herein. No extensions of Contract Time shall be made for
delays occurring prior to the Contractor's mobilization as defined in Section 01505
MOBILIZATION
The Contract Time as defined in the Bid Proposal and other sections herein incorporates
40 Rain Days per calendar year or an average of 3.33 days per calendar month. The
CONTRACTOR is required to keep record of all weather related delays and to submit the monthly
count on each Pay Application. The Owner's Representative shall review and sign off on this
record as a part of the Pay Application approval process every month. If, during preparation of the
Balancing Change Order, the status of the work progress requires an extension of the Contract
Time, Impact Days shall be added to the Completion Date equal to the total number of Weather or
Impact Days approved less the original 40 days resident in the original Contract Time. The
Addition of Weather or Impact Days will only alter the Contract Time when added by Change
Order If the Work is completed prior to the Completion Date, No Days will be added. The
addition of Weather or Impact Days shall be the CONTRACTOR's sole remedy for delays to the
completion of the Work and their addition to the Contract Time shall not affect the Contract Price
through any "per diem" adjustment to the General Conditions costs, Temporary Facilities costs or
any other costs associated with the extension of the Contract Time.
5 03 HINDRANCES AND DELAYS In executing the Contract, 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 interference, disruption, hindrances and delays incident
to such Work, whether growing out of delays in securing material, workmen or otherwise. No
claim shall be made by the CONTRACTOR for damages, loss, costs or expense resulting from
interference, disruption, 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 or suspended by order of
the OWNER's representative and such stoppage or suspension is not attributable to any act or
omission of CONTRACTOR.
5 04 SUSPENSION OF WORK. OWNER may, without cause, order the
CONTRACTOR in writing to suspend the Work, in whole or in part, for such period of time as
OWNER may request. The Contract Price and/or Contract Time shall be adjusted for any increase
in the cost of or the time required for performance of the Work caused by such suspension. No
adjustment shall be made to the extent performance was or would have been suspended by a cause
for which CONTRACTOR is responsible, or to the extent an adjustment is made or denied under
another provision of the Contract Documents.
5 05 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR DELAY It is understood and agreed that time
is of the essence, and that the CONTRACTOR will commence the Work on the date specified
herein or in any Notice to Proceed, and will Substantially Complete the Work within the Contract
Time. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the CONTRACTOR and the
OWNER, that the time for the Substantial 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
10-2012 00700- 19 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
agrees that a failure to complete 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 Contract Time, the CONTRACTOR shall pay, as liquidated damages
and as a reasonable estimate of OWNER's damages, and not as a penalty,the amount set out in the
Standard Form of Agreement.
However, the foregoing agreement as to liquidated damages constitutes only an agreement by the
OWNER and the CONTRACTOR as to the amount of damages which the OWNER will sustain
by reason of the CONTRACTOR'S failure to complete the work within the Contract Time. Should
the OWNER suffer damage by reason of any other breach by CONTRACTOR, the OWNER may
recover such actual damages in addition to any liquidated damages due.
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
5 06 CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME The Contract Time may only be changed by a
Change Order Any claim for an adjustment of Contract Time shall be based on written notice
delivered by the party making such claim to the other party and to the ENGINEER promptly, but
in no event later than ten (10) days after the event-giving rise to the claim. Notice of the extent of
the claim, along with supporting data, shall be delivered within thirty (30) days of the occurrence
and shall be accompanied by the claimant's written representation that the adjustment claimed is
the entire adjustment to which the claimant has reason to believe it is entitled as a result of the
occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in Contract Time shall be determined by the
ENGINEER in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph. Contractor shall submit, as a
minimum,the following data.
A. Information showing that the time requested is not included in the existing
Contract and in addition to the Contract.
B Information documenting that the number of days requested is accurate for the
event.
C Revised, current construction schedule showing that the time requested affects
the project's critical path.
5 07 DELAYS BEYOND OWNER'S AND CONTRACTOR'S CONTROL Where
CONTRACTOR is prevented from completing any part of the Work within the Contract Time due
to delays beyond the control of the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR, including, but not limited
to, interference by utility owners or other contractors performing other work, Contractor shall be
entitled to an extension of the Contract Time in an amount equal to the time lost. CON TRACTOR
shall not be entitled to any increase in Contract Price as a result of such delays. IN NO EVENT
SHALL OWNER BE LIABLE TO CONTRACTOR FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR
RESULTING FROM (i) Delays caused by, or within the control of, the CONTRACTOR, or (ii)
Delays beyond the control of both parties including, but not limited to, interference by utility
owners or other contractors performing other work, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather
conditions, acts of God, even if such delays are due in part to the negligence, other fault, breach of
contract or warranty, violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Act, or strict liability without regard
10-2012 00700-20 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
to fault of OWNER. An extension of Contract time shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive
remedy for any such delays.
Delays attributed to, and within the control of, a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be
deemed to be delays within the control of the CONTRACTOR.

reasonably should have known of any discrepancies or omissions in the Contract Documents, he
shall notify the ENGINEER and obtain a clarification by Addendum 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 performed and has provided

for comparing the Bid 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 from
the estimates and that the items listed or estimated quantities stated, and/or any difference between
estimated and actual Work, shall not give rise to a claim by the CONTRACTOR against the
OWNER for loss, cost, expense, damages,unit price adjustment, quantity differences,unrecovered
overhead or lost or anticipated profits, or other compensation.

Such applications for payment shall not be considered complete unless accompanied by the
CONTRACTOR'S Partial Waiver of Lien and Payment Affidavit, Section 00615, duly executed
by an authorized representative of the CONTRACTOR and reflecting the correct corresponding
amount of the payment application.
The OWNER shall then pay the CONTRACTOR, within thirty (30) days of the date of
ENGINEER's receipt of the application for payment, the undisputed balance due, less applicable
retainage, and further less all previous payments and all further sums that may be retained or
withheld by the OWNER under the terms of this Agreement. CONTRACTOR may submit a
corrected application for payment after its receipt of the ENGINEER's notice of error or dispute,
and such corrected application for payment shall be reviewed by the ENGINEER and disputed or
paid under the same procedure and within the same time limits set out above.
As a condition of any progress payment under this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall execute and
deliver to ENGINEER and OWNER a full release of all claims, direct or indirect, at law or in
equity, arising out of or related to the Work to date, excluding retainage or any claims previously
submitted as required under the terms of the Contract, and specifically identified and excluded by
CONTRACTOR in the release.
OWNER shall be entitled to retain from each progress payment five percent (5%) of the amount
thereof. Such retainage shall be retained until Final Completion and satisfaction of all conditions
for Final Payment. It is understood, however, that in case the whole Work be near to completion,
as certified by the ENGINEER, and some unexpected or unusual delay occurs, through no neglect
or fault on the part of the CONTRACTOR, the OWNER may, upon written 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 for Work completed in
accordance with the Contract Documents, subject to OWNER's rights to otherwise withhold or
retain payments, and subject to the conditions set forth under"6.08 FINAL PAYMENT"
The Owner at its option and in compliance with Texas law may reduce retainage to less than the

6 07 USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS & PUNCHLIST 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 promptly and within three (3) days of OWNER's
taking possession, give OWNER written notice of same, and CONTRACTOR may be entitled to
such extra compensation or extension of time, or both, as may be determined in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement.
6 08 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION The CONTRACTOR shall notify the OWNER
AND ENGINEER, by letter executed by a duly qualified officer of CONTRACTOR, that in
CONTRACTOR's opinion, the Work of the Contract, or an agreed portion thereof, is
"Substantially Complete" Such notification shall include a list of all outstanding or incomplete
items. Upon receipt, and within a reasonable time thereafter, of such notice, the ENGINEER and
the CONTRACTOR shall jointly perform a walk-through and inspection of the Work to determine
10-2012 00700-23 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
the status of all or the identified portion of the work, and the ENGINEER shall prepare a detailed
list of unfinished, incomplete, defective and/or non-conforming Work ("Punchlist") If the
ENGINEER determines that the Work is Substantially Complete in accordance with the Contract
Documents, the ENGINEER shall issue to the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR a Certificate of
Substantial Completion. OWNER shall have seven (7) days after receipt of Certificate to make
written objection to the ENGINEER as to any provision of the Certificate or the attached list of
non-conforming work. If ENGINEER concludes that the Work is not Substantially Complete,
ENGINEER will, within fourteen (14) days, notify CONTRACTOR of the reason he believes the
Work is not Substantially Complete. Upon Substantial Completion of the Work, ENGINEER will
deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division of
responsibilities, pending final payment and acceptance, with respect to security, maintenance,
utilities and damage to the Work, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial
Completion. NEITHER THE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION OF THE WORK, NOR THE
OMISSION OF AN ITEM FROM THE PUNCHLIST, SHALL EXCUSE THE CONTRACTOR
FROM PERFORMING ALL OF THE WORK UNDERTAKEN, WHETHER OF A MINOR OR
MAJOR NATURE, AND THEREBY COMPLETING THE WORK IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall establish the
time period within which CONTRACTOR shall complete the Work for Final Acceptance by the
Owner and ENGINEER.
6 08-1 OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Work after the
date of Substantial Completion, for security requirement reasons. OWNER may establish an
access procedure to facilitate CONTRACTOR's uninterrupted access to the Work for the purposes
of completing and correcting all items on the Punchlist in an expeditious manner
6 09 FINAL PAYMENT Final payment of the Retainage withheld from the Contract
Price shall be made by the OWNER to the CONTRACTOR at such time as

CONTRACTOR against OWNER other than any claims previously made in writing by
CONTRACTOR against OWNER, and still unsettled, and except for claims arising out of third
party actions, cross-claims and counterclaims. No interest shall be due or payable by OWNER to
CONTRACTOR on any sums retained or withheld by OWNER pursuant to the terms or
provisions of the Contract Documents, except as otherwise provided by applicable law Neither
the Certificate of Substantial Completion nor the Final Payment nor possession or acceptance of
the Work shall relieve the CONTRACTOR of its obligation for correction of defective or non-
conforming Work, or for fulfillment of any warranty, which may be required by law or by the
Contract Documents.
6 10 CORRECTION OF WORK BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT The CONTRACTOR
shall promptly remove from OWNER's premises all materials, equipment or Work which is
defective or otherwise not in conformance with the Contract Documents, whether actually
incorporated in the Work or not, and CONTRACTOR shall, at his own expense, promptly replace
such materials, equipment or Work with other materials conforming to the requirements of the
Contract. The CONTRACTOR shall also bear the expense of restoring all work of
CONTRACTOR or other contractors damaged by any such removal or replacement. If

shall, at its sole cost, correct it and any other work affected thereby promptly after receipt of a
written notice from OWNER to do so In addition, CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for any
damage to building contents, when such damage results from the CONTRACTOR's use of faulty
materials or defective workmanship, to the extent such damage is not covered by OWNER's

upon completion of the remedial work. This time period for correction by CONTRACTOR is in
addition to, and not in lieu of, all warranties or remedies,which exist at common law or by statute.
These warranty obligations shall survive the termination of this Contract, and shall be enforceable
by a decree of specific performance, in addition to such other rights and remedies available to
OWNER at law or in equity
612 PAYMENTS WITHHELD The OWNER may withhold, or on account of

CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
from the Contract Sum or from any payments due or to become due under any other agreement
between OWNER and CONTRACTOR.

any interest due CONTRACTOR for late payments shall accrue and be paid in accordance with
the provisions of Chapter 2251 of the Texas Government Code, as amended, and payment of such

7.0 EXTRA WORK AND CLAIMS
7 01 DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS. During the progress of the work, if subsurface, latent
physical conditions or unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature are encountered at the
site that differ materially from those indicated in the contract or from those ordinarily encountered
and generally recognized as inherent in the work provided for in the contract,the CONTRACTOR
shall notify the OWNER's Representative in writing within three (3) calendar days of the specific
differing conditions before the site is disturbed and before the affected work is performed.
(a)Upon written notification,the ENGINEER will investigate the conditions, and if it is
determined that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the
cost or time required for the performance of any work under the contract, an adjustment,
excluding anticipated profits,will be made and the contract modified in writing
accordingly The ENGINEER will notify the CONTRACTOR in writing of the
determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.
(b)No contract adjustment which results in a benefit to the CONTRACTOR will be
allowed unless the CONTRACTOR has provided the required written notice.
(c)No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause for any effects caused on
unchanged work.
7 02 SUSPENSIONS OF WORK ORDERED BY THE ENGINEER. If the performance of all
or any portion of the work is suspended by the ENGINEER in writing for seven (7) calendar days
and the CONTRACTOR believes that additional compensation and/or contract time is due as a
result of such suspension,the CONTRACTOR shall submit a written request for adjustment to the
ENGINEER within seven(7) calendar days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The request
shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment.
(a)Upon receipt,the ENGINEER will evaluate the CONTRACTOR's request. If the
ENGINEER agrees that the cost and/or time required for the performance of the contract
has increased as a result of such suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions
beyond the control of and not the fault of the CONTRACTOR, its suppliers, or
subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather,the ENGINEER will make
10-2012 00700-27 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
an adjustment(excluding profit)and modify the contract in writing accordingly The
CONTRACTOR will be notified of the ENGINEER's determination, in writing,whether or
not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.
(b)No contract adjustment will be allowed unless the CONTRACTOR has submitted the
request for adjustment within the time prescribed.
(c)No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause to the extent that performance
would have been suspended by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is provided or
excluded under any other term or condition of this contract.
7 03 CHANGE ORDERS Without invalidating this Agreement,the OWNER may, at
any time or from time to time, order additions, deletions or revisions to the Work; such changes
will be authorized by Change Order to be prepared by the ENGINEER for execution by the
OWNER and the CONTRACTOR. The Change Order shall set forth the basis for any change in
Contract Price, as hereinafter set forth for Extra Work, and any change in Contract Time,which
may result from the change.
7 04 In accordance with paragraph 1 07 CONTRACTOR'S request to work weekends,
the Owner's Construction Manager shall, upon receipt of written notice by the CONTRACTOR of
the need to conduct work on otherwise non-Work Days,prepare a cost estimate for providing
Construction Management and Inspection services during the requested period and submit this to
both OWNER and CONTRACTOR. If approved by both parties the Construction Manager shall
prepare a Deductive Change Order in the amount stated in the estimate for the signature of the
CONTRACTOR and the OWNER for inclusion in the next Pay Application. The Deductive
Change Order must be signed and executed by both the OWNER and CONTRACTOR prior to
start of work on any non-Work Day
7 05 MINOR CHANGES The ENGINEER may authorize minor changes in the Work
not inconsistent with the overall intent of the Contract Documents and not involving an increase in
Contract Price or time. If the CONTRACTOR believes that any minor changes authorized by the
ENGINEER involves Extra Work or entitles him to an increase in the Contract Price or the
Contract Time, the CONTRACTOR shall give notice of same by written request to the
ENGINEER for a written Work Order, with a copy to OWNER. Any such notice and request by
the CONTRACTOR shall be given prior to beginning the changed work. CONTRACTOR's
commencement of any minor change in the Work prior to such written notice and request shall
constitute a waiver of any and all claims for an increase in the Contract Price or the Contract Time
arising out of or related to such changed work.
7 06 EXTRA WORK. It is agreed that the CONTRACTOR shall perform all work
when presented with a written Change Order, Work Change Directive or Work Order signed by
the ENGINEER, subject, however, to the right of the CONTRACTOR to require written
confirmation of such Change Order, Work Change Directive or Work Order by the OWNER. It is
agreed that the basis of compensation or adjustment to the CONTRACTOR for work either
altered, added or deleted by a Change Order or Work Change Directive, or for which a claim for
Extra Work is made, shall be determined by one or more of the following methods
Method(A)--By Contract unit prices applicable to the work, if any; or
10-2012 00700-28 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
Method (B) --By agreed unit prices or agreed stipulated lump sum price; or
Method (C) --If neither Method (A) nor Method (B) can be agreed upon before the Extra
Work is commenced, then the CONTRACTOR shall be paid the "Actual Field Cost" of
the work plus
a) For subcontractors performing work mark-up shall be limited to fifteen
percent, ten (10%) for the subcontractor plus five (5%) for the General Contractor
or
b)For the General Contractor alone, self-performing the extra work, without
subcontractor, the mark-up shall not exceed ten percent (10%), as full and final
compensation for the Extra Work and all costs and expenses, direct or indirect,
arising out of or related thereto
In the event said Extra Work or Change Order or Work Change Directive 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 as 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 or used on such Extra Work or Change Order or Work
Change Directive 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 Workers'
Compensation, and all other insurance as may be required by law or ordinance, or the Contract
Documents,plus all payments to subcontractors for such work.
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 The mark-up of the "Actual Field
Cost" to be paid to the CONTRACTOR, shall cover and compensate him for his profit, overhead,
and all other elements of cost and expense not embraced within the "Actual Field Cost" as herein
defined, save that where the CONTRACTOR's field office must be maintained solely 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 by the ENGINEER in a
written Work Order 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 Contract Time, he shall make written request to the ENGINEER for a written
Work Order authorizing such Extra Work within ten (10) days of ENGINEER's orders or
instructions, otherwise the orders or instructions will be considered minor changes. The issuance
10-2012 00700-29 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
of a Work Order by the ENGINEER shall not constitute or be construed as an agreement or
acknowledgement by the ENGINEER that the work which is the subject of the Work Order is
Extra Work outside the scope of the Contract Work, but shall merely constitute a direction to the
CONTRACTOR to perform the work, and the CONTRACTOR shall proceed with the work, and
shall keep an accurate account of the "Actual Field Cost" thereof, as provided under Method (C).
Upon completion of the alleged Extra Work, the CONTRACTOR shall promptly and within ten
(10) days submit his claim to the ENGINEER by proper certification and attestation, on forms
provided by the ENGINEER. The ENGINEER shall render a written decision on
CONTRACTOR's claim within ten (10) days. It is mutually agreed between the parties that the
ENGINEER's decision on all claims or questions in relation to the Work, CONTRACTOR's
performance of the Work, any changes in the Work or Extra Work, the Contract Price and/or the
Contract Time, shall be final and conclusive and binding upon the parties. If the ENGINEER
shall fail to respond in writing to CONTRACTOR's claim within thirty (30) days of the date of
submission, or if CONTRACTOR shall dispute or object to ENGINEER's decision on any claim,
and CONTRACTOR fails to file a Request for Mediation of such claim in accordance with the
provisions of Article 9 0, within sixty (60) days after the date of submission to the ENGINEER, or
such longer period as the parties may agree to in writing, the CONTRACTOR shall lose and
forfeit his right to make such claim for Extra Work at any later date, and all such claims held by
the CONTRACTOR shall be deemed waived, forfeited and forever barred. CONTRACTOR shall
continue to diligently prosecute the Work notwithstanding any pending claim, dispute, or dispute
resolution process between OWNER and CONTRACTOR.
7 07 TIME OF FILING CLAIMS. Except as otherwise provided herein, all questions
of dispute or adjustment shall be made within the Pro-Trak system and filed with the ENGINEER
within three (3) 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, and render his final decision in writing. It is mutually agreed between
the parties that the ENGINEER's decision on all claims or questions in relation to the Work,
CONTRACTOR's performance of the Work, any changes in the Work or Extra Work, the
Contract Price and/or the Contract Time, shall be final and conclusive and binding upon the
parties. 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 CONTRACTOR's
request, or such longer period as may be agreed to by the parties in writing. 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 meeting, or
such longer period as the parties may agree to in writing, to file a Request for Mediation of such
claim in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 0 In the event the CONTRACTOR shall fail,
for any reason,to timely file a Request for Mediation,the OWNER shall be released of any and all
liability, and the CONTRACTOR's failure to timely file a Request for Mediation shall constitute a
waiver, forfeit and final bar of all such claims held by the CONTRACTOR against the OWNER.
CONTRACTOR shall continue to diligently prosecute the Work notwithstanding any pending
claim, dispute, or dispute resolution process between OWNER and CONTRACTOR.

CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
8.0 DEFAULT
8.01 DEFAULT BY CONTRACTOR. In case the CONTRACTOR should abandon
and fail or refuse to resume Work within five (5) days after written notification from the OWNER
or the ENGINEER, or if the CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the orders of the ENGINEER
when such orders are consistent with the Contract Documents, or if the CONTRACTOR otherwise
defaults on its obligations under the Contract, OWNER shall have the right, if it so elects and
without prejudice to any other rights it may have, after giving five (5) days written notice of
default to CONTRACTOR and any surety, to terminate the Contract or any part thereof and/or to
take over or cause others to take over the Work or any part thereof, and to complete such Work for
the account of CONTRACTOR. Where Performance and Payment Bonds exist, the sureties on
these bonds shall be directed to complete the Work in conjunction with the notice of default, and a
copy of said notice shall be delivered to the CONTRACTOR.
After receiving said notice of default,the CONTRACTOR shall promptly and within no more than
three (3) days, remove from the Work any machinery, equipment, or tools then on the job, not
intended for incorporation into the Work. Should CONTRACTOR fail to promptly remove such
machinery, equipment or tools, OWNER may remove such machinery, equipment or tools and
store same at CONTRACTOR's expense; return such machinery, equipment or tools to their
purported owner; or otherwise dispose of such machinery, equipment or tools as OWNER sees fit.
Any materials, supplies and/or equipment delivered for use in the Work, may be used in the
completion of the Work by the OWNER or the surety on the Performance Bond, or another
contractor in completion of the Work; it being understood that the use of such equipment, supplies
and materials will ultimately reduce the cost to complete the Work and be reflected in the final
settlement.
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 for 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 expeditiously 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 or any
other agreement between OWNER and CONTRACTOR. 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 be
credited with 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 promptly
pay the amount of such excess to the OWNER upon demand, or
10-2012 00700-31 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
(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 completion contract, as compared to what would
have been the cost under this Contract, such increase shall be charged to the
CONTRACTOR, and the amount of such increase may be deducted 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 or any
other agreement between OWNER and CONTRACTOR, or the CONTRACTOR
and/or his surety shall promptly pay the amount of such increase to the OWNER
upon demand. However, should the cost to complete any such completion 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.
In the event of a default by CONTRACTOR, no further payments shall be made to
CONTRACTOR under the Contract until the Work is Finally Completed. When the Work shall
have been Finally Completed,the CONTRACTOR and his surety shall be so notified. 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. The
OWNER, prior to incurring an obligation to make payment hereunder, shall have such statement
of completion attested to by the CONTRACTOR and the surety as accurate, and in exchange for
payment of the sum stated therein, the OWNER shall be entitled to a full and final release of any
claims or demands by the CONTRACTOR or the surety
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 terms of this Contract, or when the CONTRACTOR and/or his surety
shall pay the balance shown to be due by 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 CON TRACTOR
and/or his surety fail to pay the amount due the OWNER within the time designated above, and
there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies which are the property of
CONTRACTOR 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
reputed owners.
8 02 SUPPLEMENTATION OF CONTRACTOR FORCES If CONTRACTOR at any
time shall, in OWNER'S sole opinion, fail to furnish skilled workers, suitable materials, supplies
or adequate equipment sufficient for the prompt, timely and diligent prosecution of the Work in
10-2012 00700-32 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
accordance with OWNER's direction, OWNER shall have the right, without prejudice to the
exercise of other remedies for the same default and without fully taking over the Work, to
supplement CONTRACTOR's forces and to expedite delivery of and to procure and furnish such
workers, materials, tools, supplies or equipment for CONTRACTOR's account by employing
other contractors and suppliers engaged in the same class of work and charge the entire cost
thereof to CONTRACTOR, said cost to be deducted from sums due or to become due to
CONTRACTOR under the Contract or any other agreement with OWNER or any parent,
subsidiary or affiliate of OWNER.
8.03 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES & SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. All rights and
remedies of OWNER, under the terms of the Contract and/or available at law or in equity, are
cumulative. In the event CONTRACTOR or any of its subcontractors, vendors or suppliers fails
or refuses for any reason to provide timely manufacture, fabrication, delivery, installation,
erection, construction or completion of any supplies, materials, expendables, equipment,
machinery, accessories or appurtenances to be furnished hereunder, CONTRACTOR
acknowledges and agrees that such items are required, necessary, essentially unique to the Project
and the Work and will cause irreparable harm to OWNER and the Project if not furnished in
accordance with the Contract, and OWNER shall have the right to obtain a decree of specific
performance and mandatory injunctive relief from any Court of competent jurisdiction to ensure
the timely furnishing of such items.
8.04 CROSS-DEFAULT If, for any reason, CONTRACTOR is declared in default
and/or terminated by OWNER under any other agreement with OWNER, whether related to the
Project or not related to the Project, OWNER shall have the right to offset and apply any amounts
which might be owed to OWNER by CONTRACTOR under any other such agreements against
any earned but unpaid amounts owing to CONTRACTOR by OWNER under the Contract, any
retainage earned by CONTRACTOR under the Contract or any unearned, unpaid amount under
the Contract.
8.05 INSOLVENCY It is recognized that if CON TRACTOR becomes a debtor in
voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, makes a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or if a receiver is appointed on account of his insolvency, such events could seriously
impair or frustrate CONTRACTOR's performance of the Work. Accordingly, it is agreed that
should CONTRACTOR become a debtor in bankruptcy, either voluntary or involuntary,
CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER in writing within twenty-four (24) hours of the filing with
the bankruptcy court. Further, it is agreed that upon occurrence of any one or more such events,
OWNER shall be entitled to request of CONTRACTOR or its successors, trustees or receivers,
adequate assurances of future performance. In the event such adequate assurances are not given to
the reasonable satisfaction of OWNER within seventy-two (72) hours of such request, OWNER
shall have the right to immediately invoke the remedies of this Section 8 or as provided by law
Pending receipt of such adequate assurances of such future performance, OWNER may proceed
with the Work on a temporary basis and deduct the costs, plus reasonable overhead and profit,
from any amounts due or which may become due to CONTRACTOR under the Contract or any
other agreement with OWNER. In this regard, OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree that delays in
performance could result in more damages to CONTRACTOR than would be sustained if
OWNER failed to exercise such remedies.
8 06 CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT CONTRACTOR hereby assigns to OWNER, all
of CONTRACTOR's rights under and interest in any and all subcontracts and/or purchase orders
10-2012 00700-33 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
entered into by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement, such assignment to become effective
upon CONTRACTOR's default under this Agreement or OWNER's termination of this Contract,
and OWNER's acceptance of such assignment. Upon CONTRACTOR's default or OWNER's
termination of this Contract, OWNER may, in the event there is no performance bond for the
Contract, or in the event the performance bond surety fails to complete the Contract, or if OWNER
otherwise so elects in its sole discretion, accept such assignment by written notice of such
acceptance to CONTRACTOR and subcontractor, and may require subcontractors to perform all
of the then unperformed duties and obligations under the subcontract, for the direct benefit of
OWNER. In the event OWNER requires such performance by a subcontractor, then OWNER
shall be obligated to pay such subcontractor any amounts due and owing under the terms of the
subcontract/purchase order, at the subcontract prices and rates, and subject to any rights of
withholding or offset and other terms and conditions of the subcontract, for all work properly
performed by such subcontractor, to the date of OWNER's acceptance and thereafter OWNER's
liability in this connection, however, shall not exceed the amount obtained by subtracting all
payments made by CONTRACTOR to subcontractor from the Subcontract Price at the time of
CONTRACTOR's default or OWNER's termination of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall
include a provision in its subcontracts that allows such assignment and allows OWNER to take
these actions, and further provides that in the event of CONTRACTOR's termination for default,
the subcontractor agrees to give the OWNER or its agent the right to inspect all books and records
of subcontractor relating to the Work.
8 07 WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES CONTRACTOR expressly
waives any and all claims for consequential damages against OWNER arising out of or related to
this Contract, or any other agreements between CONTRACTOR and OWNER, including, but not
limited to, claims for damages incurred by CONTRACTOR for principal office expenses,
including the compensation of personnel stationed there, losses of financing, bonding capacity,
business and reputation, and claims for lost profit,whether on this Contract or otherwise

upon five (5) days written notice to CONTRACTOR, terminate this Contract, in whole or in part,
if and when OWNER determines that it is in the best interest of OWNER to do so Upon receipt
of such written notice from OWNER, CONTRACTOR shall cease all terminated Work and take
reasonable precautions to protect and preserve such work, and shall take all reasonable measures
after consultation with OWNER to terminate or assign to OWNER all subcontracts, purchase
orders or other commitments related to the Work or the Project on terms and conditions acceptable
to OWNER. CONTRACTOR will be paid for all Work performed in strict accordance with the
Contract Documents, based upon the Contract Price and the percentage of completion on the date
of termination, and less amounts previously paid, subject to any reasonable backcharges
attributable to CONTRACTOR's failure to comply with any of the provisions of this Contract and
further subject to the other terms of this Contract regarding payment. In no event will
CONTRACTOR receive or be entitled to any payment or compensation whatsoever for
interruption of business or loss of business opportunities, any other items of consequential
damages, for overhead or loss of profits on the unperformed Work and/or services and unfurnished
materials or for any intangible, impact or similarly described cost, damages or expense, and under

all other sums that may be retained by the OWNER under the terms of this Agreement, and shall
present the same to the OWNER, and OWNER's payment of said sum to the CONTRACTOR, on

Note Executive Order (EO) 13706,Establishing Paid Sick Leave
for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the
Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any
solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017 If this
contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide
employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours
they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year
Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their
own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including
preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other
health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons
resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic
violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information
on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO
is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.
file:///Cl/Users/Andrew/AppData/Local/Temp/tx233.txt[1/25/2022 3.25:53 PM]
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
'29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii))
The body of each wage determination lists the classification
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order of"identifiers"that indicate whether the particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local),
a survey rate(weighted average rate) or a union average rate
(weighted union average rate).
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed
in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or
"UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were
prevailing for that classification in the survey Example
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014 PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of
the union, which prevailed in the survey for this
-lassification, which in this example would be Plumbers 0198
idicates the local union number or district council number
where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,
005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing
the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the
most current negotiated rate,which in this example is July 1,
2014
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate
changes in the collective bargaining agreement(CBA) governing
this classification and rate
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that
no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and
the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average
rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that
classification. As this weighted average rate includes all
rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and
non-union rates. Example SULA2012-007 5/13/2014 SU indicates
the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average
calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates
the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which
iese classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007
the example, is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion
date for the classifications and rates under that identifier
file:///Cl/Users/Andrew/AppData/LocaUTemp/tx233.txt[1/25/2022 3.25:53 PM]
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a
new survey is conducted.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate
that no single majority rate prevailed for those
classifications, however, 100% of the data reported for the
classifications was union data. EXAMPLE.UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014 UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union
average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in
the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage
determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of
each year,to reflect a weighted average of the current
negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is
based.
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1 ) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests
for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour
Division National Office Branch of Wage Surveys. If the
response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then
the process described in 2.) and 3 ) should be followed.
With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal
process described here, initial contact should be with the
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations
Wage and Hour Division

200 Constitution Avenue,N W
Washington, DC 20210
2.) If the answer to the question in 1 ) is yes, then an
interested party (those affected by the action) can request
file:///Cl/Users/Andrew/AppData/Local/Temp/tx233.txt[1/25/2022 3.25:53 PM]
review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator
(See 29 CFR Part 1 8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to
Wage and Hour Administrator
U S. Department of Labor

Washington, DC 20210
The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the
interested party's position and by any information (wage
payment data, project description, area practice material,
etc.)that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.
3 ) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an
interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative
Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to

Re: FA2103-City of Pearland Fire Station 2 Repairs
Competitive Sealed Proposal Award Contract for Construction Services
Joiner Architects Project Number: 21005
Dear Mr. Becerril,
On Tuesday, March 1, 2022, General Contractor proposals were received by the City of Pearland for the
above project. A total of eight (8) bidders submitted Base Bid proposals, which were publicly opened and
read aloud. PMGR Development Group was shown to be the lowest responsive, responsible bidder at
$204,723.68.
Bids submitted ranged between $204,723.68 and$385,000.00,with the average falling at$294,032.24.
Joiner Architect's initial construction estimate in January was$258,319.00,which included project
contingency and material escalation,which makes up for much of the 21%delta between our estimate and
PMGR Development Group's bid.
We did however reach out to the three references provided to inquire about past performance,and
received only positive comments.Additionally,we contacted PMGR Development Group directly to go over
the scope of work for the project, and they felt that they had all of the scope covered in their bid.
Joiner Architects recommends to the City of Pearland City Council,the acceptance of PMGR Development
Group's Base Bid proposal of$204,723.68,and award the contract for construction.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to you,the City Council, Mayor Kevin Cole,and the City of
Pearland administrative staff for allowing us the exciting opportunity to be part of this project.
We look forward to a successful partnership between the City and PMGR Development Group on the
repairs to Fire Station 2.
Sincerely,
Joby Copley,AIA
