opinions contained therein, or the completeness thereof, for the purposes of bidding or
construction.

facilities or others, and Owner does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness
thereof
5.4 Before submitting a Bid Proposal, each Bidder will, at Bidder's own expense, make or
obtain any additional examinations, investigations, explorations, tests and studies and obtain
any additional information and data which pertain to the physical conditions (surface,

site to its former condition upon completion of such explorations.
5.6 The lands upon which the Work is to be performed, rights-of-way and easements for
access thereto and other lands designated for use by Contractor in performing the Work are

Bidder that Bidder has complied with every requirement of this Article 4, that without
exception the Bid Proposal is premised upon performing and furnishing all of the Work
required by the Contract Documents and such means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures of construction as may be indicated in, required by or reasonably inferred from the
Contract Documents, and that the Contract Documents are sufficient in scope and detail to
indicate and convey understanding of all terms and conditions for performance and furnishing
of the Work.
6. Interpretations and Addenda

to Engineer. Interpretations or clarifications considered necessary by Engineer in response to
such questions will be issued by Addenda delivered or transmitted by electronic means to all

Payment Bonds, whereupon the Bid Security of both bidders will be returned. If the

servants or employees, from liability for damage that is caused by or results from defects in plans,
designs or specifications prepared, approved or used by the ENGINEER, or negligence of the
ENGINEER in the rendition or conduct of professional duties called for or arising out of any
construction contract and the plans, designs or specifications that are a part of the construction
contract, and arises from personal injury or death, property injury, or any other expense that arises
from personal injury, death, or property injury.
This indemnity agreement is a continuing obligation, and shall survive notwithstanding
completion of the Work, Final Payment, expiration of the warranty period, termination of the
Contract, and abandonment or takeover of the Work.
CONTRACTOR's indemnification obligations hereunder shall not be limited by a limitation on
amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the CONTRACTOR or a
subcontractor under workers' compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit
acts, and shall not be limited by any limitation on amounts or coverage of insurance provided or to
be provided under this Contract.
4.27 LOSSES FROM NATURAL CAUSES. All loss, cost, expense or damage to the
CONTRACTOR arising out of the nature of the Work to be done or from any unforeseen
circumstances in the prosecution of the same, or from the action of the elements, or from unusual
obstructions or difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution of the Work, shall be
sustained and borne by the CONTRACTOR at his own cost and expense.

CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
4.28 GUARANTEE. The CONTRACTOR hereby guarantees all the Work under the
Contract to be free from defects or deficiencies in material in every particular and free from
defects or deficiencies in workmanship; and against unusual damage from proper and usual use;
and agrees to replace or to re-execute without cost to the OWNER such Work as may be found to
be defective, deficient or otherwise not in conformance with the Contract Documents, and to make
good all damages caused to other work or material, due to such defective Work or due to its
required replacement or re-execution. This guarantee shall cover a period of one year from the
date of Substantial Completion or Partial Substantial Completion of Work under the Contract, as
evidenced by the Certificate of Substantial Completion. Neither the Certificate of Substantial
Completion, Final Payment, nor any provision in the Contract Documents shall relieve the
CONTRACTOR of the responsibility for defective, deficient or non-conforming material or
workmanship during the period covered by the guarantee. The one-year period of guarantee will
not limit the OWNER'S other rights under common law with respect to any defects, deficiencies
or non-conforming Work discovered after one year. If this one-year guarantee conflicts with other
warranties or guarantees, the longer period of warranty or guarantee will govern.
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
(11.1\ 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
(gw. 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. CONTRACTOR
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)
(1.6\ 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
(11 .‘ 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.
6.0 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
6.01 DISCREPANCIES AND OMISSIONS. If the CONTRACTOR knows or
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
sufficient sums in his Bid Proposal to complete the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents. It is further understood that any request for clarification must be submitted no later
than five(5) days prior to the opening of bids.
6.02 QUANTITIES AND MEASUREMENTS. No extra or customary measurements
of any kind will be allowed, but the actual measured and/or computed length, area, volume,
number and weight only shall be considered,unless otherwise specifically provided.
6.03 ESTIMATED QUANTITIES. This Agreement, including the Contract
Documents, and including any estimates contained therein, is intended to convey all Work to be
done and material to be furnished hereunder. Where the estimated quantities are shown for the
various classes of Work to be done and material to be furnished under this Contract, they are
approximate and are to be used only as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the Work and
for comparing the 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.
6.04 PRICE OF WORK. It is agreed that it is the intent of this Contract that all Work
described in the Bid Proposal, and Contract Documents, is to be done for the prices bid by the
CONTRACTOR and that such prices shall include all appurtenances necessary to complete the
Work in accordance with the intent of these Contract Documents as interpreted by the
ENGINEER, and all costs, expenses, bond and insurance premiums, taxes, overhead, and profit.
In consideration of the furnishing of all the necessary labor, equipment and material and the
completion of all Work by the CONTRACTOR, and upon the completion of all Work and the
delivery of all materials embraced in this Contract in full conformity with the Contract
Documents, the OWNER agrees to pay to the CONTRACTOR the prices set forth in the Standard
Form of Agreement, OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree that the Contract is a unit cost
agreement, unless stated otherwise, and that the final Contract amount is equal to the unit cost
multiplied by the number of units authorized, installed and approved by the Owner.
The OWNER does not assume any obligation to pay for any services or material not
actually authorized and used. The CONTRACTOR hereby agrees to receive such prices as
payment in full for furnishing all materials and all labor required for the aforesaid Work, and for
10-2012 00700-21 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
all expenses incurred by him, and for full performance of the Work and the whole thereof in the
manner and according to this Agreement, Contract Documents, and the requirements of the
ENGINEER.
6.05 PAYMENTS. No payments made or approvals or certificates given shall be
considered as conclusive evidence of the performance of the Contract, either in whole or in part,
nor shall any certificate, approval or payment be considered as acceptance of defective, deficient
or non-conforming Work. CONTRACTOR shall, at any time requested during the progress of the
Work, furnish the OWNER or the ENGINEER with an affidavit showing the CONTRACTOR's
total outstanding indebtedness in connection with the Work. Before Final Payment is made, the
CONTRACTOR shall satisfy the OWNER, by affidavit or otherwise, that there are no unpaid
claims due subcontractors, suppliers or laborers by reason of any Work under the Contract.
Acceptance by CONTRACTOR of Final Payment shall constitute a waiver of any and all claims
of whatsoever nature against OWNER, arising out of or related to the Contract, or the Work, or
any acts or omissions of OWNER or ENGINEER, which have not theretofore been timely filed as
provided in this Contract.
6.06 PARTIAL PAYMENTS. When the Contract Price is a lump sum amount,prior to
the first Application for Payment, CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for review and
approval a Schedule of Values, which shall fairly allocate the entire Contract Price among the
various portions of the.Work and shall be prepared in such form and supported by such data to
substantiate its accuracy as the ENGINEER may reasonably require. The Schedule of Values
shall follow the trade divisions of the Specifications so far as practicable. Upon approval, this
Schedule of Values shall be used by ENGINEER as the basis for reviewing the Contractor's
Application for Payment. Applications for Payment shall indicate the percentage of completion of
each portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by the Application for Payment.
On or before the tenth day of each month, the CONTRACTOR shall prepare and submit to the
ENGINEER, for approval or correction, an application for partial payment, being a statement
showing as completely as practicable, the agreed unit quantities and extended total value of the
Work done by the CONTRACTOR up to and including the twenty-fifth day of the preceding
month; said statement shall also include the value of all conforming materials to be fabricated into
the Work and stored in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations and as approved by the
OWNER or ENGINEER at the Work site only. No payment will be made for materials stored until
OWNER has approved in writing storage at the Work site. The ENGINEER shall then review
such statement of unit quantities and application for partial payment and the progress of the Work
made by the CONTRACTOR and, within ten days after the date ENGINEER receives
CONTRACTOR's application for payment, if the application is found to be accurate and correct
and the WORK conforming to the requirements of the Contract Documents, the ENGINEER shall
certify the application for partial payment and shall deliver his preliminary certification for
payment to the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR; or, if the ENGINEER finds that
CONTRACTOR's application for payment contains an error or is otherwise disputed, he shall
notify CONTRACTOR of such error or dispute, and shall prepare a preliminary certificate for
partial payment for the undisputed amount of the application for payment due CONTRACTOR,
and deliver it to the OWNER and CONTRACTOR. ENGINEER'S notice to CONTRACTOR that
er''°' a bona fide dispute for payment exists shall include a list of the specific reasons for nonpayment.
All payment applications made by CONTRACTOR and delivered to ENGINEER and all
verifications and certification of such applications shall be made and transmitted within the Pro-
Trak system and signed with the appropriate electronic signatures as provided for in the software.
10-2012 00700-22 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
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
("Ilk\ 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
above-stated percentages.
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:
(a) the Work, including all Change Orders and including all Punchlist work,has been
fully completed in strict accordance with the Contract Documents;

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

conforming Work, or for fulfillment of any warranty, which may be required by law or by the
Contract Documents.

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
insurance. This warranty period shall renew and recommence for each corrected item of Work
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.
6.12 PAYMENTS WITHHELD. The OWNER may withhold, or on account of

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

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
(111b'\
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
Co'N, 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
(.1.1b\' 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.

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
("6\. (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
Cilb\ 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 CONTRACTOR
and/or his surety fail to pay the amount due the OWNER within the time designated above, and
there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, 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
(161\ 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 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.
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
(1.16.\ • 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.
8.08 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. OWNER may at its sole discretion,
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
no circumstances shall the total sum paid to or received by CONTRACTOR under this Contract
exceed the Contract Price. The compensation provided herein shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and
exclusive remedy arising out of a termination for convenience.
10-2012 00700-34 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
8.09 DEFAULT BY OWNER. In case the OWNER shall default on its material
obligations under this Contract, other than OWNER's failure to pay CONTRACTOR a disputed
amount due within the time limits provided in the Contract or applicable law, as addressed by
Section 6.13 of this Agreement, and shall fail or refuse to cure, or to commence and diligently
pursue cure of such default within fifteen (15) days after written notification by the
CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR may suspend or wholly abandon the Work, and may
remove therefrom all machinery, tools and equipment, and all materials on the site of the Work
that have not been included in payments to the CONTRACTOR and have not been incorporated
into the Work. And thereupon, the ENGINEER shall make an estimate of the total amount earned
by the CONTRACTOR, which estimate shall include the value of all Work actually completed by
said CONTRACTOR (at the Contract Prices), the value of all partially completed Work at a fair
and equitable price, and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or
provided for by the terms of this Contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any
provisions made by the CONTRACTOR to carry the whole Work to completion and which cannot
be utilized. The ENGINEER shall then make a final statement of the balance due the
CONTRACTOR by deducting from the above estimate all previous payments by the OWNER and
all other sums that may be retained by the OWNER under the terms of this Agreement, and shall
present the same to the OWNER, and OWNER's payment of said sum to the CONTRACTOR, on
or before thirty (30) days after OWNER's receipt of such statement, shall satisfy any and all
rights, claims or causes of action of CONTRACTOR arising out of or related to such default by
OWNER, and shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive remedy for such default. A disputed
or unilateral claim by the Contractor cannot by itself constitute a default hereunder.
9.0 DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any dispute or pending claim or dispute resolution process between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR shall not excuse or relieve CONTRACTOR of its obligations under the Contract,
and CONTRACTOR shall diligently prosecute the Work notwithstanding any pending claim,
dispute, or dispute resolution process between OWNER and CONTRACTOR.
All claims, disputes and other matters in question arising out of or relating to, the Contract,
or the breach thereof, shall be subject to mediation as a condition precedent to any other dispute
resolution process as may be selected by OWNER. Unless mutually agreed otherwise the
mediation shall be conducted by a third party who will be selected by agreement between
OWNER and CONTRACTOR, and Request for Mediation shall be filed with the other party. The
parties shall share the mediator's fee and any filing fees equally.
If a claim, dispute or other matter in question between OWNER and CONTRACTOR
involves the work of a subcontractor or supplier, OWNER or CONTRACTOR may join such
subcontractor or supplier as a party to any mediation proceeding between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR hereunder. CONTRACTOR shall include in all subcontracts and/or purchase
orders related to the Work a specific provision whereby the subcontractor or supplier consents to
being joined in mediation between OWNER and CONTRACTOR involving the work of such
subcontractor or supplier.
This Contract shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas and shall be considered
\ performable in Brazoria County, Texas, for venue purposes. Further, the OWNER and
CONTRACTOR stipulate that venue for any dispute resolution proceeding involving or touching
upon the Contract other than the conduct of an arbitration hearing shall be in Brazoria County,

Texas, or, if such choice of venue is prohibited or unenforceable by law, shall be held in the
(.1.6\ county where the Project is located.
CONTRACTOR agrees to pay OWNER all reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by
OWNER in the event OWNER seeks to enforce any provision of this Contract whether by
arbitration or other dispute resolution process. Further, in the event OWNER defends any claim
instituted by CONTRACTOR against OWNER, whether in arbitration or other dispute resolution
process, CONTRACTOR agrees to pay OWNER all reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by
OWNER in defending such claim provided OWNER is the prevailing party, in whole or in part, in
such proceeding.

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) ) .
(111°
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
classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198
indicates 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
these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007
in 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.
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a
new survey is conducted.
(1.111h‘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
nnQii AA
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.
r.,""'
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of
each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current 1
negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is
based. 1

Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
Section B. Definitions
Arid Areas-Areas with an average annual rainfall of o to 10 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,
and excavating; and 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.
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
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
Page 6
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
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
(10N.,
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.gov/compliance/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. 1403 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.

(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, a construction site or construction
support activity that is regulated under this general permit,including all contiguous land and
fixtures (for example,ponds and materials stockpiles), structures, or appurtances used at a
construction site or industrial site described by this general permit.
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:
(1) the homebuilder completing final stabilization as specified in condition(a) above; or
(2) the homebuilder establishing temporary stabilization for an individual lot prior to
(111IN 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.
Page 7
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
Fullfillment 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 t
across crop or range land), final stabilization may be accomplished by returning the
disturbed land to its preconstruction agricultural use. Areas disturbed that were not
previously used for agricultural activities, such as buffer strips immediately adjacent to
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:
(1) Temporary erosion control measures (for example, degradable rolled erosion 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 on the latest approved CWA
§3o3(d) List as not meeting applicable state water quality standards. Impaired waters
include waters with approved or established total maximum daily loads (TMDLs), and those
where a TMDL has been proposed by TCEQ but has not yet been approved or established.
Indian Country Land— (from 4o CFR§122.2) (1) all land within the limits of any Indian
reservation under the jurisdiction of the United States government, notwithstanding the
issuance of any patent, and, including rights-of-way running through the reservation; (2) all

Large construction activity also includes the disturbance of less than five (5) acres of total
land area that is part of a larger common plan of development or sale if the larger common
plan will ultimately disturb equal to or greater than five(5) acres of land. Large construction
activity does not include routine maintenance that is performed to maintain the original line
and grade,hydraulic capacity, or original purpose of the site(for example,the routine
grading of existing dirt roads, asphalt overlays of existing roads,the routine clearing of
existing right-of-ways, and similar maintenance activities.)

areas regulated by 3o 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 may not commence for sites regulated
under 3o TAC Chapter 213 until all applicable requirements of that rule are met.
(b) Primary operators of large construction activities as described in Part II.E.3. above
are provisionally authorized seven(7) days from the date that a completed NOI is
postmarked for delivery to the TCEQ,unless otherwise notified by the executive
director. If electronic submission of the NOI is provided, and unless otherwise
notified by the executive director,primary operators are authorized immediately
following confirmation of receipt of the NOI by the TCEQ. Authorization is non-
provisional when the executive director finds the NOI is administratively complete
and an authorization number is issued for the activity. For activities located in areas
regulated by 3o 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 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 actions for any unpermitted activities that may have
occurred between the time construction commenced and authorization was obtained.
6. Notice of Change(NOC)
If relevant information provided in the NOI changes, an NOC must be submitted at least
14 days before the change occurs,if possible. Where 14-day advance notice is not
possible,the operator must submit an NOC within 14 days of discovery of the change. If
Page 18

the operator becomes aware that it failed to submit any relevant facts or submitted
incorrect information in an NOI,the correct information must be provided to the
executive director 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 must also be provided to the operator of any MS4
receiving the discharge, and a list must be included in the SWP3 that includes the names
and addresses of all MS4 operators receiving a copy.
Information that maybe included on an NOC includes,but is not limited to,the
following: the description of the construction project, an increase in the number of acres
disturbed(for increases of one or more acres), or the operator name. A transfer of
operational control from one operator to another,including a transfer of the ownership
of a company,may not be included in an NOC.
A transfer of ownership of a company includes changes to the structure of a company,
such as changing from a partnership to a corporation or changing corporation types, so
that the filing number(or charter number)that is on record with the Texas Secretary of
State must be changed.
An NOC is not required for notifying TCEQ of a decrease in the number of acres
disturbed. This information must be included in the SWP3 and retained on site.
7. Signatory Requirement for NOI Forms, Notice of Termination (NOT) Forms, NOC
Letters, and Construction Site Notices

finally stabilized; and all silt fences and other temporary erosion controls have either
been removed, scheduled for removal as defined in the SWP3,or transferred to a new
operator,provided that the permitted operator has attempted to notify the new
operator in writing of the requirement to obtain permit coverage. Record of this
notification(or attempt at notification)shall be retained by the 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.
(b) 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
listed above,including the development of a SWP3 if necessary. Under these
circumstances,the homebuilder is only responsible for compliance with the general
permit requirements as they apply to lot(s)it has operational control over,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.
Page 21
uonstrucuon lienerai reriiiii ..-...--._ ., .....
1. Waiver Applicability and Coverage
Operators of small construction activities may apply for and receive a waiver from the
requirements to obtain authorization under this general permit,where all of the
following conditions are met. This waiver from coverage does not apply to non-
stormwater discharges. The operator must insure that any non-stormwater discharges
are either authorized under a separate permit or authorization, or are not considered to
be a wastewater.
(a) the calculated rainfall erosivity(R)factor for the entire period of the construction
project is less than five (5);
(b) the operator submits to the TCEQ a signed waiver certification form, supplied by the
executive director, certifying that the construction activity will commence and be
completed within a period when the value of the calculated R factor is less than five
(5); and
(c) the waiver certification form is postmarked for delivery to the TCEQ at least seven ('7)
days before construction activity begins or,if electronic filing is available,then any
time following the receipt of written confirmation from TCEQ that a complete
electronic application was submitted and acknowledged.
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.
The waiver certification form is not required to be posted at the small construction site.
3. Effective Date of Waiver
Operators of small construction activities are provisionally waived from the otherwise
applicable requirements of this general permit seven (7) days from the date that a
completed waiver certification form is postmarked for delivery to TCEQ, or immediately
upon receiving confirmation of approval of an electronic submittal,if electronic form
submittals are available.
4. Activities Extending Beyond the Waiver Period
If a construction activity extends beyond the approved waiver period due to
circumstances beyond the control of the operator,the operator must either:
Page 22
u-ucuun uenerai rermit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
(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
7*'\ least two (2) days before the end of the original waiver period; or
(b) obtain authorization under this general permit according to the requirements
delineated in either Part II.E.2. or Part II.E.3.before the end of the approved waiver
period.
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 should be submitted
at least three hundred and thirty(330) days prior to commencement of construction
activities to ensure timely authorization.
2. Individual Permit Required
The executive director may suspend an authorization or deny an NOI in accordance with
the procedures set forth in 3o TAC§205 (relating to General Permits for Waste
Discharges), including the requirement that the executive director provide written notice
to the permittee. The executive director may require an operator of a construction site,
otherwise eligible for authorization under this general permit,to apply for an individual
TPDES permit 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 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."
Additionally,the executive director may cancel,revoke, or suspend authorization to
discharge under this general permit based on a finding of historical and significant
noncompliance with the provisions of this general permit, relating to 3o TAC §60.3 (Use
of Compliance History). Denial of authorization to discharge under this general permit
or suspension of a permittee's authorization under this general permit shall be done
according to commission rules in 3o TAC Chapter 205 (relating to General Permits for
Waste Discharges).
3. 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
(1.16\ 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
Page 23
construction i enerai rermlt L LLIJPublic Notice,Notice, Public Meetings, and Public Comment),the commission may amend,
revoke, cancel,or renew this general 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 go 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 go 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., including discharges to MS4s and privately owned
separate storm sewer systems that drain to Waters of the U.S.,to identify and address
potential sources of pollution that are reasonably expected to affect the quality of discharges
from the construction site, including off-site material storage areas, overburden and
stockpiles of dirt,borrow areas, equipment staging areas,vehicle repair areas,fueling areas,
etc.,used solely by the permitted project. The 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.
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, permittees 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.
Section A. Shared SWP3 Development
For more effective coordination of BMPs and opportunities for cost sharing, a
cooperative effort by the different operators at a site is encouraged. Operators must
independently obtain authorization,but may work together to prepare and implement a
single, comprehensive SWP3 for the entire construction site.
1. The SWP3 must clearly list the name and,for large construction activities,the general
permit authorization numbers,for each operator that participates in the shared
SWP3. Until the TCEQ responds to receipt of the NOI with a general permit
authorization number,the SWP3 must specify the date that the NOI was submitted to
TCEQ by each operator. Each operator participating in the shared plan must also
sign the SWP3.
Page 24
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
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
Clih\ 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
rib\ 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 the party
with day-to-day operational control has not been authorized or has abandoned
the site,the person with control over project specifications is considered to be the
responsible party until the authority is transferred to another party and the SWP3
is updated.
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) includes,for areas where they have operational control over day-to-day activities,the
name and site-specific TPDES authorization number of the parties with control over
project specifications,including the ability to make modifications in specifications.
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
Page 25
construction ueneral Yermit i r iJLU tTGUGlal i..disturbance. The The SWP3 must be prepared so that it provides for compliance with the
terms and conditions of this general permit.
Section D. Plan Review and Making Plans Available
i. The SWP3 must be retained on-site at the construction site or, if the site is inactive or
does not have an on-site location to store the plan, a notice must be posted describing
the location of the SWP3. The SWP3 must be made readily available at the time of an
on-site inspection to: the executive director; a federal, state, or local agency
approving sediment and erosion plans, grading plans, or stormwater management
plans; local government officials; and the operator of a municipal separate storm
sewer receiving discharges from the site. If the SWP3 is retained off-site,then it shall
be made available as soon as reasonably possible. In most instances,it is reasonable
that the SWP3 shall be made available within 24 hours of the request.
2. A primary operator of a large construction activity must post the TCEQ site notice
near the main entrance of the construction site. An operator of a small construction
activity seeking authorization under this general permit and a secondary operator of
a large construction activity must post the TCEQ site notice required in Part II.E.1.,
2., or 3. of this general permit in order to obtain authorization. If the construction
project is a linear construction project, such as a pipeline or highway,the notices
must be placed in a publicly accessible location near where construction is actively
underway. Notices for these linear sites may be relocated, as necessary, along the
length of the project.The notices must be readily available for viewing by the general
public;local, state, and federal authorities; and contain the following information:
(a) the site-specific TPDES authorization number for the project if assigned;
(b) the operator name, contact name, and contact phone number;
(c) a brief description of the project; and
(d) the location of the SWP3.
3. This permit does not provide the general public with any right to trespass on a
construction site for any reason, including inspection of a site; nor does this permit
require that permittees allow members of the general public access to a construction
site.
Section E. Revisions and Updates to SWP3s
The permittee must revise or update the SWP3 whenever the following occurs:
i. 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;
2. changing site conditions based on updated plans and specifications, new operators,
new areas of responsibility, and changes in BMPs; or
3. results of inspections or investigations by site operators, operators of a municipal
separate storm sewer system receiving the discharge, authorized TCEQ personnel, or
a federal, state or local agency approving sediment and erosion plans indicate the
SWP3 is proving ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in
discharges authorized under this general permit.
Section F. Contents of SWP3
The SWP3 must include, at a minimum,the information described in this section and
must complywith the construction and development effluent guidelines in Part III,
Section G of the general permit.

borrow,fill, or equipment or chemical storage areas;
(vi) surface waters (including wetlands) either at, adjacent, or in close
proximity to the site, and also indicating those that are impaired waters;
(vii) locations where stormwater discharges from the site directly to a surface
water body or a municipal separate storm sewer system;
(viii) vehicle wash areas; and
(ix) designated points on the site where vehicles will exit onto paved roads (for
instance,this applies to construction transition from unstable dirt areas to
exterior paved roads).
Where the amount of information required to be included on the map would result
in a single map being difficult to read and interpret,the operator shall 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 permit;
(i) the name of receiving waters at or near the site that maybe disturbed or that may

(m)locations of all pollutant-generating activities, such as paving operations;
concrete,paint and stucco washout and water disposal; solid waste storage and
disposal; and dewatering operations.
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.
(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 site, compliant with the requirements of Part
III.G.i and G.2 of this general permit,including a schedule of when the practices will
be implemented. Site plans should ensure that existing vegetation 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 1.4 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 1.4 calendar days after the initiation of soil
stabilization measures:
(A) Where the immediate initiation of stabilization measures after
construction activity temporarily or permanently ceased is precluded
Page 28
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
by snow cover or frozen ground conditions, stabilization measures
must be initiated as soon as practicable.
(B) In arid areas, semi-arid areas, or drought-stricken areas where the
immediate initiation of stabilization measures after construction
activity has temporarily or permanently ceased or is precluded by arid
conditions, erosion control and stabilization measures must be
initiated as soon as practicable. Where vegetative controls are not
feasible due to arid conditions,the operator shall immediately install,
and within 14 calendar days of a temporary or permanent cessation of
work in any portion of the site complete, non-vegetative erosion
controls. If non-vegetative controls are not feasible,the operator shall
install temporary sediment controls as required in Paragraph (C)
below.
(C) In areas where temporary stabilization measures 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 frequency
established in Section III.F.7.(a)for unstabilized sites.
(D) If the initiation or completion of vegetative stabilization is affected by
circumstances beyond the control of the permittee,vegetative
stabilization must be initiated or completed as soon as conditions or
circumstances allow it on the site. The requirement to initiate
stabilization is triggered as soon as it is known with reasonable
certainty that work will be stopped for 14 or more additional calendar
days.
(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.
Page 29
Construction General Fermrt 1 nur.o reriiiil 1.1%.1%.13uu V
(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.
(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 (1o)
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 maybe
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 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 only
responsible for the installation and maintenance of stormwater management
measures prior to final stabilization of the site or prior to submission of an NOT.
4. Other Required Controls and BMPs
(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.
Page 30
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
(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 from areas
other than construction(such as stormwater discharges from dedicated asphalt
plants and dedicated concrete batch plants), 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.
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.
(111*; (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,the permittee
determines that BMPs are not operating effectively,then the permittee shall
perform maintenance as necessary to maintain the continued effectiveness 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
Page 31
Construction(ieneral Yermlt jeuerai
controls such as silt fences,berms, etc.,the trapped sediment must be removed
before it reaches 5o% 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 of the
construction site that have not been finally stabilized, areas used for storage of
materials that are exposed to precipitation, discharge locations, and structural
controls for evidence of, or the potential for,pollutants entering the drainage
system. Personnel conducting these inspections must be knowledgeable of this
general permit,familiar with the construction site, and knowledgeable of the
SWP3 for the site. Sediment and erosion control measures identified in the
SWP3 must be inspected to ensure that they are operating correctly. Locations
where vehicles enter or exit the site must be inspected for evidence of off-site
sediment tracking. Inspections must be conducted at least once every 14
calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a storm event of o.5 inches or
greater.
Where sites have been finally or temporarily stabilized or where runoff is
unlikely due to winter conditions (e.g. site is covered with snow, ice, or frozen
ground exists), inspections must be conducted at least once every month. 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 winter or
drought conditions resulting in monthly frequency of inspections.
As an alternative to the above-described inspection schedule of once every 14
calendar days and within 24 hours of a storm event of o.5 inches or greater,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,then the
inspection must occur regardless of whether or not there has been a rainfall
event since the previous inspection.
The inspections may occur on either schedule provided that the SWP3 reflects
the current schedule and that any changes to the schedule are conducted in
accordance with the following provisions: the schedule may 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 must
be documented in the SWP3 (e.g., end of"dry"season and beginning of"wet"
season).
(b) Utility line installation,pipeline construction, and other examples of long,
narrow,linear construction activities may provide inspection personnel with
limited access to the areas described in Part III.F.7.(a) above. Inspection of
these areas could require that vehicles compromise temporarily or even
permanently stabilized areas, cause additional disturbance of soils, and 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 o.5 inches or greater,but representative inspections maybe performed. For
representative inspections, personnel must inspect controls along the
construction site for o.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)
Page 32
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
above. The conditions of the controls along each inspected o.25 mile portion
maybe considered as representative of the condition of controls along that reach
(0"`N, extending from the end of the o.25 mile portion to either the end of the next o.25
mile inspected portion, or to the end of the project,whichever occurs first.
As an alternative to the above-described inspection schedule of once every 14
calendar days and within 24 hours of a storm event of o.5 inches or greater,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. The inspections may occur on either
schedule provided that the SWP3 reflects the current schedule and that any
changes to the schedule are conducted in accordance with the following
provisions: the schedule maybe 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 must be documented in the SWP3 (e.g.,
end of"dry"season and beginning of"wet" season).
(c) 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.
(d) The SWP3 must be modified based on the results of inspections, as necessary,to
better control pollutants in runoff. Revisions to the SWP3 must be completed
within seven(7) calendar days following the inspection: If existing BMPs are
modified or if additional BMPs are necessary, an implementation schedule must
be described in the SWP3 and wherever possible those changes implemented
before the next storm event. If implementation before the next anticipated
(lib\ storm event is impracticable,these changes must be implemented as soon as
practicable.
(e) A report summarizing the scope ofthe inspection,the date(s) of the inspection,
and major observations relating to the implementation of the SWP3 must be
made and retained as part of the SWP3. Major observations should include:
The locations of discharges of sediment or other pollutants from the site;
locations of BMPs that need to be maintained;locations of BMPs that failed to
operate as designed or proved inadequate for a particular location; and locations
where additional BMPs are needed.
Actions taken as a result of inspections must be described within, and retained
as a part of,the SWP3. Reports must identify any incidents of non-compliance.
Where a report does not identify any incidents of non-compliance,the report
must contain a certification that the facility or site is in compliance with the
SWP3 and this permit. The report must be signed by the person and in the
manner required by 3o TAC§305.128 (relating to Signatories to Reports).
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.
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.
(..h` 10. 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 40 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;
(b) If any stormwater flow will be channelized at the site, stormwater controls must
be designed to control both peak flowrates and total stormwater volume to
minimize erosion at outlets and to minimize downstream channel and
streambank erosion;
(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,
provide and maintain appropriate natural buffers if feasible and as necessary,
around surface waters, depending on site-specific topography, sensitivity, and
proximity to water bodies. Direct stormwater to vegetated areas to increase
sediment removal and maximize stormwater infiltration. If providing buffers is
infeasible, the permittee shall document the reason that natural buffers are not
feasible, and shall implement additional erosion and sediment controls to reduce
sediment load;
(g) Preserve native topsoil at the site,unless infeasible; and
(h) Minimize soil compaction in post-construction pervious areas. In areas of the
construction site where final vegetative stabilization will occur or where
infiltration practices will be installed, either:
(1) restrict vehicle and equipment use to avoid soil compaction; or
(2) 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;
(i) TCEQ does not consider stormwater control features (e.g., stormwater
conveyance channels, storm drain inlets, sediment basins)to constitute"surface
waters"for the purposes of triggering the buffer requirement in Part III.G.(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
Page 34
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
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
7\1
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.
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 andvehicle 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
wastes,trash,landscape materials,fertilizers,pesticides,herbicides,detergents,
sanitary waste, and other materials present on the site to precipitation and to
stormwater; and
(c) Minimize the discharge of pollutants from spills and leaks, and implement
chemical spill and leak prevention and response procedures.
5. Prohibited discharges.The following discharges are prohibited:
(lib) (a) Wastewater from wash out of concrete trucks,unless managed by an appropriate
control(see Part V of the general permit);
(b) Wastewater from wash out and cleanout of stucco,paint,form release oils, curing
compounds and other construction materials;
(c) Fuels, oils, or other pollutants used in vehicle and equipment operation and
maintenance; and
(d) Soaps or solvents used in vehicle and equipment washing.
6. Surface outlets.When discharging from basins and impoundments,utilize outlet
structures that withdraw water from the surface,unless infeasible.
Part IV. Stormwater Runoff from Concrete Batch Plants
Discharges of stormwater runoff from concrete batch plants at regulated construction sites
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. If discharges
of stormwater runoff from concrete batch plants are not covered under this general permit,
then discharges must be authorized under an alternative general permit or individual permit.
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
1. Operators of concrete batch plants authorized under this general permit shall sample
the stormwater runoff from the concrete batch plants according to the requirements
Page 35
Construction General Permit il-Whb General rermu IAI J5uuuu
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 1. Benchmark Parameters
Benchmark Benchmark Value Sampling Sample Type
Parameter Frequency
Oil and Grease 15 mg/L 1/quarter(*1) (*2) Grab (*3)
Total Suspended 10o mg/L 1/quarter(*1) (*2) Grab (*3)
Solids
pH 6.0 — 9.o Standard 1/quarter(*1) (*2) Grab (*3)
Units
Total Iron 1.3 mg/L 1/quarter(*1) (*2) Grab (*3)
(*1) When discharge occurs. Sampling is required within the first 3o minutes of
discharge. If it is not practicable to take the sample, or to complete the
sampling,within the first 30 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.
(*2) 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.
(*3) 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.
Page 36
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
The operator's investigation must identify the following:
(a) any additional potential sources of pollution, such as spills that might have
7".
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 maybe identified by laboratory analyses of samples of
stormwater runon 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.

(a) Good Housekeeping- Good housekeeping measures must be developed and
implemented in the area(s) associated with concrete batch plants.
(1) Operators must prevent or minimize the discharge of spilled cement,
aggregate(including sand or gravel), settled dust, or other significant
materials from paved portions of the site that are exposed to stormwater.
Measures used to minimize the presence of these materials may include
regular sweeping or other equivalent practices. These practices must be
conducted at a frequency that is determined based on consideration of the
amount of industrial activity occurring in the area and frequency of
precipitation, and shall occur at least once per week when cement or
aggregate is being handled or otherwise processed in the area.
(2) Operators must prevent the exposure of fine granular solids, such as
cement,to stormwater.Where practicable,these materials must be stored
in enclosed silos,hoppers or buildings,in covered areas, or under covering.
(b) Spill Prevention and Response Procedures-Areas where potential spills that
can contribute pollutants to stormwater runoff, and the drainage areas from
these locations, must be identified in the SWP3. Where appropriate,the SWP3
must specify material handling procedures, storage requirements, and use of
equipment. Procedures for cleaning up spills must be identified in the SWP3
and made available to the appropriate personnel.
(c) Inspections-Qualified facility personnel(i.e., a person or persons with
knowledge of this general permit,the concrete batch plant, and the SWP3
related to the concrete batch plant(s)for the site)must be identified to inspect
designated equipment and areas of the facility specified in the SWP3.The
inspection frequency must be specified in the SWP3 based upon a consideration
of the level of concrete production at the facility,but must be a minimum of

3. Comprehensive Compliance Evaluation—At least once per year, one or more
qualified personnel (i.e., a person or persons with knowledge of this general permit,
the concrete batch plant, and the SWP3 related to the concrete batch plant(s)for the
site) shall conduct a compliance evaluation of the plant. The evaluation must include
the following.
(a) Visual examination of all areas draining stormwater associated with regulated
concrete batch plants for evidence of, or the potential for,pollutants entering
the drainage system. These include but are not limited to: cleaning areas,
material handling areas, above ground storage tanks, hoppers or silos, dust
collection/containment systems, and truck wash down and equipment cleaning
areas. Measures implemented to reduce pollutants in runoff(including
structural controls and implementation of management practices) must be
evaluated to determine if they are effective and if they are implemented in
accordance with the terms of this permit and with the permittee's SWP3. The
operator shall conduct a visual inspection of equipment needed to implement
the SWP3, such as spill response equipment.
(b) Based on the results of the evaluation,the following must be revised as
appropriate within two weeks of the evaluation: the description of potential
pollutant sources identified in the SWP3 (as required in Part IV.B.i.,
"Description of Potential Pollutant Sources"); and pollution prevention
measures and controls identified in the SWP3 (as required in Part IV.B.2.,
"Measures and Controls"). The revisions may include a schedule for
implementing the necessary changes.
(c) The permittee shall prepare and include in the SWP3 a report summarizing the
scope of the evaluation,the personnel making the evaluation,the date(s) of the
evaluation,major observations relating to the implementation of the SWP3, and
actions taken in response to the findings of the evaluation. The report must
identify any incidents of noncompliance. Where the report does not identify
incidences of noncompliance,the report must contain a statement that the
evaluation did not identify any incidence(s), and the report must be signed
according to 3o TAC §305.128, relating to Signatories to Reports.
(d) The Comprehensive Compliance Evaluation may substitute for one of the
required inspections delineated in Part IV.B.2.(c) of this general permit.
Section C. Prohibition of Wastewater Discharges
Wastewater discharges associated with concrete production including wastewater
disposal by land application are not authorized under this general permit. These
wastewater discharges must be authorized under an alternative TCEQ water quality
permit or otherwise disposed of in an authorized manner. Discharges of concrete truck
wash out at construction sites may be authorized if conducted in accordance with the
requirements of Part V of this general permit.
Page 39
construction uenerai reriuii .... NJ
Part V. Concrete Truck Wash Out Requirements
This general permit authorizes the wash out of concrete trucks at construction sites regulated
under Sections II.E.i., 2., and 3. of this general permit,provided the following requirements
are met. Authorization is limited to the land disposal of wash out water from concrete
trucks. Any other direct discharge of concrete production waste water must be authorized
under a separate TCEQ general permit or individual permit.
i. Direct discharge of concrete truck wash out water to surface water in the state,
including discharge to storm sewers, is prohibited by this general permit.
2. Concrete truck wash out water shall be discharged to areas at the construction site
where structural controls have been established to prevent direct discharge to surface
waters, or to areas that have a minimal slope that allow infiltration and filtering of
wash out water to prevent direct discharge to surface waters. Structural controls may
consist of temporary berms,temporary shallow pits,temporary storage tanks with
slow rate release, or other reasonable measures to prevent runoff from the
construction site.
3. Wash out of concrete trucks during rainfall events shall be minimized. The direct
discharge of concrete truck wash out water is prohibited at all times, and the operator
shall insure that its BMPs are sufficient to prevent the discharge of concrete truck
wash out as the result of rainfall or stormwater runoff.
4. The discharge of wash out water must not cause or contribute to groundwater
contamination.
5. If a SWP3 is required to be implemented,the SWP3 shall include concrete wash out
areas on the associated site map.
Part VI. Retention of Records
The permittee must retain the following records for a minimum period of three (3)years
from the date that a NOT is submitted as required by Part II.E.3. For activities in which an
NOT is not required, records shall be retained for a minimum period of three(3)years from
the date that the operator terminates coverage under Section II.F.3. of this permit. Records
include:
i. A copy of the SWP3;
2. All reports and actions required by this permit,including a copy of the construction
site notice;
3. All data used to complete the NOI, if an NOI is required for coverage under this
general permit; and
4. All records of submittal of forms submitted to the operator of any MS4 receiving the
discharge and to the secondary operator of a large construction site, if applicable.
Part VII. Standard Permit Conditions
i. The permittee has a duty to comply with all permit conditions. Failure to comply
with any permit condition is a violation of the permit and statutes under which it was
issued, and is grounds for enforcement action,for terminating, revoking, or denying
coverage under this general permit, or for requiring a discharger to apply for and
obtain an individual TPDES permit.
2. Authorization under this general permit may be suspended or revoked for cause.
Filing a notice of planned changes or anticipated non-compliance by the permittee
does not stay any permit condition. The permittee must furnish to the executive
director,upon request and within a reasonable time, any information necessary for
the executive director to determine whether cause exists for revoking, suspending, or
Page 4o
L,uusLrucuon uenerai rermit TPDES General Permit'IXR150000
terminating authorization under this permit. Additionally,the permittee must
provide to the executive director,upon request, copies of all records that the
permittee is required to maintain as a condition of this general permit.
3. It is not a defense for a discharger in an enforcement action that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity to maintain compliance with the
permit conditions.
4. Inspection and entry shall be allowed under TWC Chapters 26-28,Texas Health and
Safety Code§§361.o32-361.o33 and 361.037, and 4o CFR§122.41(i).The statement
in TWC§26.014 that commission entry of a facility shall occur according to an
establishment's rules and regulations concerning safety,internal security, and fire
protection is not grounds for denial or restriction of entry to any part of the facility or
site,but merely describes the commission's duty to observe appropriate rules and
regulations during an inspection.
5. The discharger is subject to administrative, civil, and criminal penalties, as
applicable,under TWC Chapter 7 for violations including but not limited to the
following:
(a) negligently or knowingly violating the federal CWA§§3oi, 302, 306,307, 308,
318, or 405, or any condition or limitation implementing any sections in a
permit issued under CWA§402, or any requirement imposed in a pretreatment
program approved under CWA§§4o2(a)(3) or 402(b)(8);
(b) knowingly making any false statement, representation, or certification in any
record or other document submitted or required to be maintained under a
permit,including monitoring reports or reports of compliance or
noncompliance; and
(c) knowingly violating §303 of the federal CWA, and placing another person in
imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury.
6. All reports and other information requested by the executive director must be signed
by the person and in the manner required by 30 TAC §305.128 (relating to
Signatories to Reports).
7. Authorization under this general permit does not convey property or water rights of
any sort and does not grant any exclusive privilege.
8. The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize or prevent any discharge in
violation of this permit that has a reasonable likelihood of adversely affecting human
health or the environment.
9. The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and
systems of treatment and control(and related appurtenances)which are installed or
used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit.
Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and
appropriate quality assurance procedures.This provision requires the operation of
back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee
only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the
permit.
10. The permittee shall comply with the reporting requirements in 4o CFR§122.41(1), as
applicable.
Part VIII. Fees

c=&p ploc=&pg=i&p tac=&ti=16&pt=1&ch=3&r1=3o
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
(4116\ stored solely for use at the facility; a 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 Railroad Commission's jurisdiction must be authorized by the EPA and the Railroad
Commission of Texas, as applicable.Activities under Railroad Commission of Texas 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 Railroad Commission of
Texas; 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 Railroad Commission
of Texas 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
Railroad Commission of Texas. 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,
(611b\ 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 Railroad
TCEQ-2oo22 Instructions(03/05/2013) Page 7
Commission of Texas 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.

activities that disturb less than one acre,unless they are part of a larger common plan that
disturbs more than one acre, do not require permit coverage. Construction activities that
disturb between one and five acres,unless they are part of a common plan that disturbs more
than five acres, do not require submission of an NOI. Therefore,the estimated area of land
disturbed should not be less than five,unless the project is part of a larger common plan that
disturbs five or more acres. Disturbed means any clearing, grading, excavating, or other similar
activities.
If you have any questions about this item,please contact the stormwater technical staff by phone

3.0 EXECUTION (4.)
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 t")
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 /40)

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
including any areas that were "benched" or over-excavated in place of trenched
shoring. All disturbed soils generated during excavation,whether inside the trench or
associated with it, shall be considered to fall under this requirement.

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 J
operations. When embedding coated or wrapped pipes, do not use crushed stone or
other sharp, angular aggregates.
5/2013 02318- 10 of 15
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 ofremovable 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.

CITY OF PEARLAND ASPHALTIC CONCRETE
PAVEMENT
B. Tack Coat: Conform to requirements of Section 02743 — Tack Coat. Where the
mixture will adhere to the surface on which it is to be placed without use of a tack
coat, tack coat may be eliminated if approved by the Engineer.
C. Do not use cutback asphalt during the period of April 16 to September 15.
3.03 PLACEMENT
A. Do not place asphaltic mixture in rain or when air temperature is below 50° F and
falling. Mixture may be placed when air temperature taken in shade and away from
artificial heat is above 40 F and rising.
B. Haul prepared and heated asphaltic concrete mixture to the project in tight vehicles
previously cleaned of foreign material. Mixture shall be at temperature between 250°
F and 325°F when laid.
C. Spread material into place with approved mechanical spreading and finishing machine
of screening or tamping type. Use track-mounted finish machine to place base course
directly on earth subgrade.
D. Surface Course Material: Surface course 2 inches or less in thickness maybe spread in
one lift. Spread all lifts in such manner that,when compacted,finished course will be
smooth, of uniform density, and will be-to section,line and grade as shown. Coincide
construction joints on surface courses with lime lines, or as directed by the Engineer.
E. Place courses as nearly continuously as possible. Pass roller over unprotected ends of
freshly laid mixture only when mixture has cooled. When work is resumed, cut back
laid material to produce slightly beveled edge for full thickness of course. Remove old
material which has been cut away and lay new mix against fresh cut.
F. When new asphalt is laid against existing or old asphalt mat, existing or old asphalt
shall be saw cut full depth to provide straight smooth joint.
G. In restricted areas where use of paver is impractical, spread and finish asphalt by
mechanical compactor. Use wood or steel forms, rigidly supported to assure correct
grade and cross section. Carefully place materials to avoid segregation of mix. Do not
broadcast material. Remove any lumps that do not break down readily. Place asphalt
courses in same sequence as if placed by machine.
3.04 COMPACTION
A. Begin rolling while pavement is still hot and as soon as it will bear roller without
undue displacement or hair cracking. Keep wheels properly moistened with water to
Cri prevent adhesion of surface mixture. Do not use excessive water.

B. Compress surface thoroughly and uniformly, first with power-driven, 3-wheel, or
tandem rollers weighing from 8 to 10 tons. Obtain subsequent compression by starting
at side and rolling longitudinally toward center of pavement,overlapping on successive
trips by at least one-half width of rear wheels. Make alternate trips slightly different in
length. Continue rolling until no further compression can be obtained and all rolling
marks are eliminated. Complete all rolling before mixture temperature drops below
175 F.
C. Use tandem roller for final rolling. Double coverage with approved pneumatic roller
on asphaltic concrete surface is acceptable after flat wheel and tandem rolling has been
completed.
D. Along walls,curbs,headers and similar structures,and in all locations not accessible to
rollers, compact mixture thoroughly with lightly oiled tamps.
E. Compact binder course and surface course to density not less than 93 percent of the
maximum possible density of voidless mixture composed of same materials in like
proportions.
3.05 TOLERANCES
A. Furnish templates for checking surface in finished sections. Maximum deflection of
templates, when supported at center, shall not exceed 1/8 inch.
B. Completed surface,when tested with 10-foot straightedge laid parallel to center line of
pavement,shall show no deviation in excess of 1/8 inch in 10 feet. Correct any surface
not meeting this requirement.
3.06 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. At the direction of the Engineer, minimum of one core may be taken at random
locations per 1,000 feet per lane of roadway or 500 square yards of asphalt concrete
pavement to determine in-place depth and density.
B. In-place density will be determined in accordance with Tex-207-F and Tex-227-F from
cores or sections of asphaltic base located near each core. Other methods of
determining in-place density,which correlate satisfactorily with results obtained from
roadway specimens, may be used when approved by the Engineer.
C. Contractor may, at his own expense,request three additional cores in vicinity of cores
indicating nonconforming in-place depths. In-place depth at these locations shall be
average depth of four cores.
