Contractor Reference Check On February 13,2009, I spoke with the following people: Mr. Julian Garza(713-784-4500)of Edminster,Hinshaw, Rush and Associates, Inc. Julian had no problems with Calco Contracting, Ltd. and said Calco did a good job on his project. They didn't have many change orders and the projected was completed on schedule. Julian was the PM for the project and referred me to Kirk Williamson, who managed the construction phase, for more information. A voicemail was left for Mr. Williamson. Mr. Eddie Kirst(832-242-7200)of Kirst Kosmoski, Inc. Eddie said Calco did very good work on his project,which involved a residential subdivision. Calco worked extremely well with the neighbors and bent over backwards to keep them informed. This project was for the City of Pearland. Mr. Paul Wallick(713-462-3178)of Pate Engineers, Inc. According to Paul,Calco did a very, very good job on his project. He said Calco is very trustworthy and honest. Paul has used Calco on other projects and known them over the years. He has a lot of confidence in them. Paul would not hesitate to use Calco for future projects. Paul's comments were taken from his voicemail message. Ms. Ruthie Sager(713-467-9762)of the City of Bunker Hill Village. Ruthie would use Calco in a heartbeat. She had nothing but good things to say about them. Calco worked well with their residents and their schedule,correspondence, and responsiveness were all excellent. She indicated that the City Council gets disappointed when Calco doesn't win a bid. A personal letter of recommendation from the City of Bunker Hill Village was included with Calco's statement of qualification. Ruthie is the City Administrator for the City of Bunker Hill Village. I left voicemail messages for two other references, but didn't receive return phone calls. The references were Century Engineering(713-780-8871)for a GSL Investments and City of Houston project and Claunch&Miller(713-622-9264) for another City of Houston project. p.

It is recognized that if CONTRACTOR 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. 05/2008 00700-33 of 36 CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT (11"‘ 8.06 CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT.

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. 07/2006 02318-7 of 13 CITY OF PEARLAND EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL FOR UTILITIES 2. For all types of shoring, support trench walls in the pipe embedment zone throughout the installation. Provide trench wall supports sufficiently tight to prevent washing the trench wall soil out from behind the trench wall support. 3. Unless otherwise directed by the Engineer,leave sheeting 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. 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.

Leave only the minimum length of trench open as necessary for construction. B Where damage to completed pipe installation work is likely to result from withdrawal of sheeting,leave the sheeting in place. Cut off sheeting 1.5 feet or more above the crown of the pipe. Remove trench supports within 5 feet from the ground surface. C For sewer pipes, use backfill materials described here as determined by trench limits. As trench zone backfill in paved areas for streets and to one foot back of curbs and pavements, use cement stabilized sand for pipe of nominal sizes less than 36 inches,or Bank Sand for pipe of nominal sizes 36 inches and larger as indicated on the Drawings.
