Bids shall be prepared in compliance with the requirements of the ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS, these instructions and the instructions printed on the prescribed forms. All blank places on the Proposal form must be filled in as noted, in ink, in both words and figures, with amounts extended and totaled, and no changes shall be made in the phraseology of the forms or of the items mentioned therein. In case of any discrepancy between the written amounts and the figures, the written amounts shall govern. If the Bidder does not bid on optional items (if shown in the Proposal form), "No Bid" shall be entered in the blank spaces therefore. Any bid may be deemed irregular which contains any omission, erasure, alteration, addition, irregularity of any kind or item not called for, or which does not contain prices set opposite to each of the several items in the Proposal form, or in which any of the prices are obviously unbalanced, or which shall in any manner fail to conform to the conditions of the published ADVERTISEMENT FOR BID. The Bidder shall sign his Proposal in the blank area provided therefore. If the bid is made by a partnership or corporation, the name and address of the partnership or corporation shall be shown, together with the name and address of the partners or officers. If the bid is made by a partnership, it must be acknowledged by one of the partners; if made by a corporation, by one of the officers thereof accompanied by Corporate Seal. In order to ensure consideration, the Proposal must be enclosed in a sealed envelope plainly identified by the name of the project and the Contract number, and addressed to the OWNER as prescribed in the Invitation to Bidders. Withdrawal or modifications to bids are effective only if written notice thereof is filed prior to time of bid opening and at the place specified in the Notice to Bidders. A notice of withdrawal or modifications to a bid must be signed by the CONTRACTOR or his designated representative. No withdrawal or modifications shall be accepted after the time for opening of proposals. 2.BID SECURITY AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES Bids shall be accompanied by a bid guarantee of not less than five percent ( 5%) Check or Cashier's Check payable without recourse to the CITY OF PORT ARTHUR, or a bid bond with corporate surety authorized to conduct business in Texas. Said security shall be submitted with the understanding that it shall guarantee that the Bidder will not withdraw his bid within sixty (60) days after the date of the opening of the bids; that if a bid is accepted, the Bidder will enter into a formal Contract with the OWNER, furnish bonds and insurance as may be required and commence work at the specified time, and that in the event of the withdrawal of said bid within said period, or the failure to enter into said Contract, furnish said bonds and insurance and commence work within the time specified, the Bidder shall be liable to the OWNER for the difference C-2 between the amount specified in the bid in the amount for which the OWNER may otherwise procure the required work. Checks of all except the three lowest responsible Bidders will be returned when award is made; when the Contract is executed, the checks of the two (2) remaining unsuccessful Bidders will be returned; that of the successful Bidder will be returned when formal Contract, bonds and insurance are approved, and work has commenced within the time specified. The Bidder to whom the award is made shall execute and return the formal Contract with the OWNER and furnish Performance and Payment Bonds and required insurance Documents within ten (10) days after the prescribed forms are presented to him for signature. Said period will be extended only upon written presentation to the OWNER, within said period, of reasons which, in the sole discretion of the OWNER, justify an extension. If said Contract, bonds and insurance Documents are not received by the OWNER within said period or if work has not been commenced within the time specified, the OWNER may proceed to have the work required by the Plans and Specifications performed by any means at its command, and the Bidder shall be liable to the CITY OF PORT ARTHUR, for any excess cost to the OWNER over his bid amount. Further, the bid guarantee shall be forfeited to the CITY OF PORT ARTHUR, as liquidated damages and Bidder shall be liable to the CITY OF PORT ARTHUR, for an additional amount of five percent (5%) of the bid amount as liquidated damages without limitation. The OWNER, within ten (10) days of receipt of acceptable Performance and Payment Bonds, Insurance Documents and Contract signed by Bidder to whom Contract was awarded, shall sign and return executed duplicate of the Contract to said party. Should OWNER not execute the Contract within such period, the Bidder may, by written Notice to OWNER, withdraw his signed Agreement. 3.BONDS The following bonds, each in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract price, will be required in accordance with State law as follows: a (1) PAYMENT BOND for any contract in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00); and (2) a PERFORMANCE BOND for any contract in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00). 4.NOTICE TO PROCEED Notice to Proceed shall be issued within ten (10) days of the execution of the Contract by OWNER. Should there be any reason(s) why Notice to Proceed cannot be issued within such period, the time may be extended by mutual agreement between OWNER and CONTRACTOR.

C-5 PREAMBLE TO RULE 110.110 The Texas Worker's Compensation Commission adopts new § 110.10, concerning requirements for governmental entities awarding a contract for a building or construction project, and for persons providing services on a building or construction project for a governmental entity. The new rule is adopted with changes to the proposed text published in the April 26, 1994 issue of the Texas Register (19 TexReg 3131). Subsection (a)(7) and (c)(7) were amended by adding language to further clarify who is covered by the rule. Subsections (c)(7)(F) and (c)(3) were added to clarify that a contractor or subcontractor is representing to the governmental entity that workers' compensation coverage is provided. Subsections (d)(8)(C) and (c)(8)(C) were added to require specific language regarding representations of coverage to be added to contracts to provide services on the project. Subsections (c)(7)(F), and (c)(7)(I)(5), (d)(5), (d)(8)(F), (c)(6), and (c)(8)(F) were amended to reduce the retention period for contractors and other persons providing services on the project from three years to one year. Subsection (g) was changed to state that this rule applies to contract advertised for bid after September 1, 1994, rather than awarded after September 1, 1994. The Texas Labor Code, §406.096, requires workers' compensation insurance coverage for all persons providing services on a building or construction project for a governmental entity. The commission is aware that this statutory requirement is not being met, and this rule is designed to achieve compliance and to implement a record keeping process which will enable oversight of compliance. The rule does this by placing requirements on the governmental entity and on contractors and other persons providing services on a project. These requirements include coverage, certificates of coverage, posted notices of coverage, and notification of changes in coverage status. The rule does not create any duty or burden on anyone which the law does not establish. The rules defines terms which apply to governmental entity building or construction projects and sets up a clear procedure for governmental entities and contractors that bid for building land construction projects to follow in complying with the requirements of the Texas Labor Code, §406.096. It also defines persons who provide services on a project who are subject to the statutory requirement of coverage, and sets forth their requirements to comply with the statute and the rule. It specifically excludes persons such as food/beverage vendors whose deliveries and labor are not permanently incorporated into the project. The rule puts persons on notice that providing false or misleading certificates of coverage, or failing to provide or maintain required coverage, or failing to report any change that materially affects the provision of coverage may subject the contractor or other persons providing services on the project to administrative penalties, civil penalties, or other civil actions. The rule requires a governmental entity to timely obtain certificates of coverage, retain them for the duration of the project plus three years, and provide them to the commission upon request and to others entitled to them by law. It also requires the governmental entity as a prerequisite to awarding a contract, and as part of the contract, to require that the contractor provide coverage and certificates of coverage for the contractor's employees; timely obtain and provide the governmental entity all required certificates of coverage for all persons providing services on the project; retain certificates of coverage on file for the duration of the project and for one year thereafter; notify the governmental entity in writing by certified mail or personal delivery, within 10 C-6 days after the contractor knew or should have known, of any change that materially affects the provision of coverage of any person providing services on the project; post notices on each project site; and contractually require persons with whom it contracts to do the same, with the certificates of coverage to be provided to the person for whom they are providing services. The rule also sets out the language to be included in bid specifications and in contracts awarded by a governmental entity and the information required to be in the posted notice to employees. It further establishes a method for obtaining the certificates from persons providing services on the project and providing them to the governmental entity. It requires a contractor awarded a building or construction contract to provide workers' compensation coverage to the contractor's employees for the duration of the project; file a certificate of coverage of the contractor's employees with the governmental entity prior to being awarded a contract; obtain and provide to the governmental entity, certificates of coverage from each other person with whom it has contract to provide services on the project, prior to that person beginning work on the project; obtain and provide new certificates of coverage shown on the current certificate ends during the duration of the project; retain all certificates of coverage for the duration of the project and for one year thereafter, notify the governmental entity of material changes in coverage; contractually require each other person with whom it contracts to provide a certificate of coverage; and post notices on each project site. All other persons providing services on a project have the same requirements as a contractor, with the exception of posting notices and with the exception that the certificate of coverage is given to the person for whom they contracted to provide services on the project. The rule uses the term "persons providing services on the project; in lieu of the statutory term "subcontractor because the term "subcontractor" as used in the statue (§406.096) and in this rule is broader than standard industry usage. The use of the different terminology will prevent confusion. The rule does not create any duty or burden on anyone which the law does not establish. The new rule is adopted under the Texas Labor Code, §402.061, which authorizes the commission to adopt rules necessary to administer the Act, and Texas Labor Code, §406.096, which establishes requirements for governmental entities, contractors, and subcontractors ("persons providing services on the project") regarding workers' compensation coverage for workers on public building or construction projects.

No other explanation or interpretation will be considered official or binding. Should a Bidder find discrepancies in, or omissions from, the Plans, Specifications or other Contract Documents, or should a Bidder be in doubt as to their meaning, the Bidder should, no later than 96 hours prior to the bid opening, notify the Architect/Engineer in order that a written Addendum if necessary, may be sent to all Bidders prior to submission of the bids. Failure to request such clarification is a waiver to any claim by the Bidder for expense made necessary by reason of later interpretation of the Contract Documents by the OWNER. 10.AWARD OF CONTRACT Unless it elects to reject all bids, the OWNER will award the Contract as promptly as possible consistent with the time required for a thorough analysis of bids submitted.

The CONTRACTOR shall make all arrangements for such tests and inspections with a local independent testing laboratory acceptable to the OWNER, and the CONTRACTOR shall bear all related costs of tests and inspections. If such procedures for testing and inspection reveal failure to comply with accepted standards or with requirements established by the contract documents, all re- F-6 testing and re-inspection costs made necessary by such failure, including those of related procedures, shall also be at CONTRACTOR’S expense.

If the ENGINEER is to observe tests and inspections, the ENGINEER will do so promptly and, where practical, at the normal pace of testing. Tests and inspections shall be made promptly to avoid unreasonable delays on the project. Required certificates and/or reports of all test and inspections shall, unless otherwise required by the contract documents, be promptly delivered by the independent testing laboratory to the CONTRACTOR, the ENGINEER, and the OWNER. 21. "OR EQUAL" CLAUSE Whenever a material, article or piece of equipment is identified on the Plans or in the Specifications by reference to manufacturers' or vendors' names, trade names, catalogue numbers, etc., it is intended merely to establish a standard; and, any material, article or equipment of other manufacturers and vendors which will perform adequately the duties imposed by the general design will be considered equally acceptable provided the material, article or equipment so proposed is, in the opinion of the Architect/Engineer, of equal substance and function. It shall not be purchased or installed by the CONTRACTOR without the Architect/Engineer's written approval. 22. PATENTS a. The CONTRACTOR shall hold and save the OWNER and its Officers, Agents, Servants and Employees harmless from liability of any nature or kind, including cost and expenses for, or on account of, any patented or unpatented invention, process, article or appliance manufactured or used in the performance of the Contract, including its use by the OWNER, unless otherwise specifically stipulated in the Contract Documents. b. License or Royalty Fees: License and/or royalty fees for the use of a process which is authorized by the OWNER of the project must be reasonable and paid to the holder of the patent, or his authorized licensee, direct by the OWNER and not by or through the CONTRACTOR. F-7 c. If the CONTRACTOR uses any design, device or materials covered by letters patent or copyright, he shall provide for such use by suitable agreement with the OWNER of such patented or copyrighted design, device or material. It is mutually agreed and understood that, without exception, the Contract prices shall include all royalties or costs arising from the use of such design, device or materials in any way involved in the work.

INSURANCE The CONTRACTOR shall not commence work under this Contract until he has obtained all the insurance required herein and such insurance has been approved by the OWNER, nor shall the CONTRACTOR allow any Subcontractor to commence work on this Subcontract until the insurance required of the Subcontractor has been so obtained and approved. (See information to Bidders, Paragraph 5.) 26. SPECIAL CONDITIONS PERTAINING TO HAZARDS, SAFETY STANDARDS, AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION (a) Danger Signals and Safety Devices (Modify as Required): F-8 The CONTRACTOR shall make all necessary precautions to guard against damages to property and injury to persons. He shall put up and maintain in good condition, sufficient red or warning lights at night, suitable barricades and other devices necessary to protect the public. In case the CONTRACTOR fails or neglects to take such precautions, the OWNER may have such lights and barricades installed and charge the cost of this work to the CONTRACTOR. Such action by the OWNER does not relieve the CONTRACTOR of any liability incurred under these Specifications or Contract. (b)Use of Explosives: When the use of explosives is necessary for the prosecution of the work, the CONTRACTOR shall observe all local, State and Federal laws in purchasing and handling explosives. The CONTRACTOR shall take all necessary precautions to protect completed work, neighboring property, water lines or other underground structures. Where there is danger to structures or property from blasting, the charges shall be reduced and the material shall be covered with suitable timber, steel or rope mats. The CONTRACTOR shall notify all OWNER’S of public utility property of the intention to use explosives at least eight (8) hours before blasting is done, close to such property. Any supervision or direction of use of explosives by the Engineer does not in any way reduce the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR or his Surety for damages that may be caused by such use. 27.SUSPENSION OF WORK Should the OWNER be prevented or enjoined from proceeding with work or from authorizing its prosecution either before or after its prosecution, by reason of any litigation, the CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to make or assert claim for damage by reason of said delay, but time for completion of the work will be extended to such reasonable time as the OWNER may determine will compensate for time lost by such delay with such determination to be set forth in writing. 28.SAFETY AND HEALTH REGULATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION In order to protect the lives and health of his Employees under the Contract, the CONTRACTOR shall comply with all pertinent provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, as amended, commonly known as the Construction Safety Act as pertains to health and safety standards; and shall maintain an accurate record of all cases of death, occupational disease and injury requiring medical attention or causing loss of time from work, arising out of and in the course of employment on work under the Contract. The CONTRACTOR alone shall be responsible for the safety, efficiency and adequacy of his plant, appliances and methods, and for any damage which may result from their failure or their improper construction, maintenance or operation. F-9 29. USE AND OCCUPANCY PRIOR TO ACCEPTANCE BY OWNER The CONTRACTOR agrees to the use and occupancy of a portion or unit of the project before formal acceptance by the OWNER, provided the OWNER: a. Secures written consent of the CONTRACTOR except in the event, in the opinion of the Architect/Engineer, the CONTRACTOR is chargeable with unwarranted delay in completing the contract requirements; b. Secures consent of the Surety; c. Secures endorsement from the insurance carrier(s) permitting occupancy of the building or use of the project during the remaining period of construction; or, d. When the project consists of more than one (1) building and one of the buildings is occupied, secures permanent fire and extended coverage insurance, including a permit from the insurance carrier to complete construction. 30. USE OF PREMISES AND REMOVAL OF DEBRIS The CONTRACTOR expressly undertakes at his own expense: a. To take every precaution against injuries to persons or damage to property; b. To store his apparatus, materials, supplies and equipment in such orderly fashion at the site of the work as will not unduly interfere with the progress of his work or the work of any other CONTRACTOR'S; c. To place upon the work or any part thereof only such loads as are consistent with the safety of that portion of the work; d. To clean up frequently all refuse, rubbish, scrap materials and debris caused by his operations, to the end that at all times the site of the work shall present a neat, orderly and workmanlike appearance; e. Before final payment to remove all surplus material, false work, temporary structures, including foundations thereof, plant of any description and debris of every nature resulting from his operations, and to put the site in a neat, orderly condition; f. To effect all cutting, fitting or patching of his work required to make the same to conform to the Plans and Specifications and, except with the consent of the Architect/Engineer, not to cut or otherwise alter the work of any other CONTRACTOR. 31. QUANTITIES OF ESTIMATE F-10 Wherever the estimated quantities of work to be done and materials to be furnished under this Contract are shown in any of the documents including the proposal, they are given for use in comparing bids and the right is especially reserved, except as herein otherwise specifically limited, to increase or diminish them as may be deemed reasonably necessary or desirable by the OWNER to complete the work contemplated by the Contract, and such increase or diminution shall in no way vitiate this Contract, nor shall any such increase or diminution give cause for claims or liability for damages. 32. LANDS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY Prior to the start of construction, the OWNER shall obtain all lands and rights-of- way necessary for the carrying out and completion of work to be performed under this CONTRACT. 33. NOTICE AND SERVICE THEREOF Any notice to any CONTRACTOR from the OWNER relative to any part of this Contract shall be in writing and considered delivered and the service thereof completed when said notice is posted, by certified or registered mail, to the said CONTRACTOR at his last given address, or delivered in person to the said CONTRACTOR or his authorized representative on the work. 34. SEPARATE CONTRACT The CONTRACTOR shall coordinate his operations with those of other CONTRACTORS. Cooperation will be required in the arrangement for the storage of materials and in the detailed execution of the work. The CONTRACTOR, including his Subcontractors, shall keep informed of the progress and the detail work of other CONTRACTORS and shall notify the Architect/Engineer immediately of lack of progress or effective workmanship on the part of other CONTRACTORS. Failure of a CONTRACTOR to keep informed of the work progressing on the site and failure to give notice of lack of progress or defective workmanship by others shall be construed as acceptance by him of the status of the work as being satisfactory for proper coordination with his own work. 35. SUBCONTRACTING a. The CONTRACTOR may utilize the services of specialty Subcontractors on those parts of work which, under normal contracting practices, are performed by specialty Subcontractors. b. The CONTRACTOR shall not award any work to any Subcontractor without prior written approval of the OWNER, which approval will not be given until the CONTRACTOR submits to the OWNER a written statement concerning the proposed award to the Subcontractor, which statement shall contain such information as the OWNER may require. F-11 c. The CONTRACTOR shall be as fully responsible to the OWNER for the acts or omissions of his Subcontractors, and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by them, as he is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by him. d. The CONTRACTOR shall cause appropriate provisions to be inserted in all Subcontracts relative to the work to bind Subcontractors to the CONTRACTOR by the terms of the General Conditions and other Contract Documents insofar as applicable to the work of Subcontractors, and to give the CONTRACTOR the same power as regards terminating any Subcontract that the OWNER may exercise over the CONTRACTOR under any provision of the Contract Documents. e. Nothing contained in this Contract shall create any contractual relation between any Subcontractor and the OWNER. 36. ARCHITECT / ENGINEER’S AUTHORITY The Architect/Engineer shall give all orders and directions contemplated under this Contract and Specifications, relative to the execution of the work. The Architect/Engineer shall determine the amount, quality, acceptability and fitness of the several kinds of work and materials which are to be paid for under this Contract, and shall decide all questions which may arise in relation to said work and the construction thereof. The Architect/Engineers estimates and decisions shall be final and conclusive, except as herein otherwise expressly provided. In case any question shall arise between the parties hereto relative to said Contract or Specifications, the determination or decision of the Architect/Engineer shall be a condition precedent to the right of the CONTRACTOR to receive any money or payment for work under this Contract affected in any manner or to any extent by such question. 37. MEANING OF INTENT The Architect/Engineer shall decide the meaning and intent of any portion of the Specifications and of any Plans or drawings where the same may be found obscure or be in dispute. Any differences or conflicts in regard to their work which may arise between the CONTRACTOR, under this Contract and other CONTRACTOR'S, performing work for the OWNER, shall be adjusted and determined by the Architect/Engineer. 38. CONTRACT SECURITY If the Contract amount exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars [$50,000.00], a Payment Bond shall be furnished, and if the contract exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars [$100,000.00], a Performance Bond also shall be furnished, on prescribed forms in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract price or in a penal sum not less than that prescribed by State, territorial or local law, as security for the payment of all persons performing labor on the project under this Contract and furnishing materials in connection with this Contract and as security for the faithful performance of this Contract. F-12 39.ADDITIONAL OR SUBSTITUTE BOND If at any time the OWNER, for justifiable cause, shall be or become dissatisfied with any Surety or Sureties for the Performance and/or Payment Bonds, the CONTRACTOR shall, within five (5) days after notice from the OWNER to do so, substitute an acceptable bond (or bonds) in such form and sum and signed by such other Surety or Sureties as may be satisfactory to the OWNER. The premiums on such bond shall be paid by the CONTRACTOR. No further payments shall be deemed due nor shall be made until the new Surety and Sureties shall have furnished such an acceptable bond to the OWNER. 40.ASSIGNMENTS The CONTRACTOR shall not assign the whole or any part of this Contract or any monies due or to become due hereunder without written consent of the OWNER. In case the CONTRACTOR assigns all or any part of any monies due or to become due under this Contract, the instrument of assignment shall contain a clause substantially to the effect that it is agreed that the right of the assignee in and to any monies due or to become due to the CONTRACTOR shall be subject to prior claims of all persons, firms and corporations of services rendered or materials supplied for the performance of the work called for in this Contract. 41.MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY OF CONTRACTORS If, through acts of neglect on the part of the CONTRACTOR, any other CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor shall suffer loss or damage on the work, the CONTRACTOR agrees to settle with such other CONTRACTOR or Subcontractor by agreement or arbitration if such other CONTRACTOR or Subcontractor will so settle. If such other CONTRACTOR or Subcontractor shall assert any claim against the OWNER on account of any damage alleged to have been sustained, the OWNER shall notify the CONTRACTOR, who shall indemnify and safe harmless the OWNER against any such claim. 42.ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL PAYMENT CONSTITUTES RELEASE The Acceptance by the CONTRACTOR of final payment shall be and shall operate as a release to the OWNER of all claims and all liability to the CONTRACTOR for all things done or furnished in connection with this work and for every act and neglect of the OWNER and others relating to or arising out of this work. No payment, however, final or otherwise, shall operate to release the CONTRACTOR or his Sureties from any obligations under this Contract or the Performance and Payment Bonds. 43.PAYMENTS BY CONTRACTOR The CONTRACTOR shall pay (a) for all transportation and utility services no later than the thirty (30) calendar days from the date of submission to the City of Port Arthur, (b) for all materials, tools and other expendable equipment to the extent of ninety percent (90%) cost thereof, no later than the 20th day of the F-13 calendar month following that in which such materials, tools and equipment are delivered at the site of the project, and the balance of the cost thereof, no later than the 30th day following the completion of that part of the work in or on which such materials, tools and equipment are incorporated or used; and (c) to each of his Subcontractors, no later than the 5th day following each payment to the CONTRACTOR, the respective amounts allowed the CONTRACTOR on account of the work performed by his Subcontractors to the extent of each Subcontractors’ interest therein. 44. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND PERIODIC ESTIMATES Immediately after execution and delivery of the Contract, and before the first partial payment is made, the CONTRACTOR shall deliver to the OWNER an estimated construction progress schedule in form satisfactory to the OWNER, showing the proposed dates of commencement and completion of each of the various subdivisions of work required under the Contract Documents and the anticipated amount of each monthly payment that will become due the CONTRACTOR in accordance with the progress schedule. The CONTRACTOR shall also furnish on forms to be supplied by the OWNER: (a) a detailed estimate giving a complete breakdown of the Contract price; and (b) periodic itemized estimates of work done for the purpose of making partial payments thereon. The costs employed in making up any of these schedules will be used only for determining the basis of partial payments and will not be considered as fixing a basis for additions to or deductions from the Contract price. 45. PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR a. Not later than the thirty (30) calendar days from the date of submission to the CITY OF PORT ARTHUR, the OWNER shall make a progress payment to the CONTRACTOR on the basis of a duly certified and approved estimate of the work performed during the preceding calendar month under this Contract, but to insure the proper performance of the Contract, the OWNER shall retain Ten percent (10%) [five percent {5%} if the total contract price exceeds $25,000] of the amount of each estimate until final completion and acceptance of all work covered by this Contract; Provided, that the CONTRACTOR shall submit his estimate no later than the fifth (5th) day of the month. Provided further, that on completion and acceptance of each separate building, public work or other division of the Contract on which the price is stated separately in the Contract, payment may be made in full, including retained percentages thereon, less authorized deductions. The CONTRACTOR is advised that the payment schedule noted in the paragraph is subject to fluctuation due to the City Council's regular schedule of meeting on the second and forth Mondays of each month. The CONTRACTOR may alter his estimate period such as to give the Engineer ten (10) working days prior to the next scheduled City Council meeting to prepare an estimate of the work completed and submit said estimate for the OWNER'S action. b. In preparing estimates, the material delivered on the site and preparatory work done may be taken into consideration. F-14 c.All material and work covered by partial payments made shall thereupon become the sole property of the OWNER, but this provision shall not be construed as relieving the CONTRACTOR from the sole responsibility for the care and protection of materials and work upon which payments have been made or the restoration of any damaged work or as a waiver of the right of the OWNER to require the fulfillment of all of the terms of the Contract. d.OWNER'S Right to Withhold Certain Amounts and Make Application Thereof: The CONTRACTOR agrees that he will indemnify and save the OWNER harmless from all claims growing out of the lawful demands of Subcontractors, laborers, workmen, mechanics, materialmen and furnishers of machinery and parts thereof, equipment, power tools and all supplies, including commissary, incurred in the furtherance of the performance of this Contract. The CONTRACTOR shall, at the OWNER'S request, furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the nature hereinabove designated have been paid, discharged or waived. If the CONTRACTOR fails to do so, then the OWNER may, after having served written notice on the said CONTRACTOR, either pay unpaid bills, of which the OWNER has written notice, direct, or withhold from the CONTRACTOR’S unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged whereupon payment to the CONTRACTOR shall be resumed, in accordance with the terms of this Contract, but in no event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose any obligations upon the OWNER to either the CONTRACTOR or his Surety. In paying any unpaid bills of the CONTRACTOR, the OWNER shall be deemed the agent of the CONTRACTOR, and any payment so made by the OWNER shall be considered as a payment made under Contract by the OWNER to the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER shall not be liable to the CONTRACTOR for any such payments made in good faith. This provision shall not be construed to give rise to any third party beneficiary rights in claimants. 46.CORRECTION OF WORK All work, all materials, whether incorporated in the work or not, all processes of manufacture and all methods of construction shall be at all times and places subject to the inspection of the Architect/Engineer who shall be the final judge of the quality and suitability of the work, materials, processes of manufacture and methods of construction for the purposes for which they are used. Should they fail to meet his approval, they shall be forthwith reconstructed, made good, replaced and/or corrected, as the case may be, by the CONTRACTOR at his own expense.

The CONTRACTOR agrees that said work shall be prosecuted regularly, diligently and without interruption at such rate of progress as will ensure full completion thereof within the time specified. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER, that the time for the completion of the work described herein is a reasonable time for the completion of same, taking into consideration the average climatic range and usual industrial conditions prevailing in this locality. If the said CONTRACTOR shall neglect, fail or refuse to complete the work within the time herein specified, or any proper extension thereof granted by the OWNER, then the CONTRACTOR does hereby agree, as a part consideration for the awarding of this Contract, to pay to the OWNER the amount specified in the Contract, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages for such breach of Contract as hereinafter set forth, for each and every consecutive calendar day, including, but not limited to, all Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal, State, and City holidays and that the CONTRACTOR shall be in default after the time stipulated in the Contract for completing the work. The said amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER because of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual damages the OWNER would in such event sustain, and said amount is agreed to be the amount of damages which the OWNER would sustain and said amount shall be retained from time to time by the OWNER from current periodical estimates. It is further agreed that time is of the essence of each and every portion of this Contract and of the Specifications wherein a definite and certain length of time is fixed for the performance of any act whatsoever; and where under the Contract an additional time is allowed for the completion of any work, the new time limit fixed by such extension shall be of the essence of this Contract. Provided, that the CONTRACTOR shall not be charged with any part of liquidated damages or any excess cost when the OWNER determines that any part of liquidated damages was not the fault of the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER determines that the request for extension by the CONTRACTOR is justified and due to: F-17 a.Any preference, priority or allocation order duly issued by the government; b.The following unforeseeable causes, namely: acts of the public enemy, acts of the OWNER, acts of another CONTRACTOR in the performance of a Contract with the OWNER, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes; and rainy days claimed by the CONTRACTOR; however, rainy days shall be considered only if the CONTRACTOR notifies the Engineer or OWNER on the day the CONTRACTOR claims he cannot work because of rainy weather that day. Failure to so report will eliminate any claim for time extension because of rainy weather on that day. c.Rainy weather when 60 percent of his work force cannot work for seven (7) hours or more that day because of rainy weather and providing that he has complied with the condition under 51(b). d.Any delays of Subcontractors or suppliers occasioned by any of the causes specified in Subsections (a.) and (b.) of this Article. It is also agreed that for each five (5) regular days of work lost due to any of the foregoing reasons, seven (7) calendar days will be added to the contract time (or 1.4 calendar days added for each one (1) regular day of work lost). Fractional calendar days will be rounded to the nearest whole number of days. Provided, further, that the CONTRACTOR shall, within ten (10) days from the beginning of such delay, unless the OWNER shall grant a further period of time prior to the date of final settlement of the Contract, notify the OWNER, in writing, of the causes of delay, who shall ascertain the facts and extent of the delay and notify the CONTRACTOR within reasonable time of its decision in the matter. Provided, that this provision for liquidated damages shall be cumulative of and not in limitation of any other remedy available to OWNER, including, without limitation, the right to terminate as provided in Paragraph 3 and to recover additional damages for any excess cost in otherwise completing the work. 52.WEATHER CONDITIONS In the event of temporary suspension of work, or during inclement weather, or whenever the Architect/Engineer shall direct, the CONTRACTOR will, and will cause his Subcontractors to, protect carefully his, and their, work and materials against damage or injury from the weather. If, in the opinion of the Architect/Engineer, any work or materials shall have been damaged or injured by reason of failure on the part of the CONTRACTOR or any of his Subcontractors so to protect his work, such materials shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the CONTRACTOR. 53.PROTECTION OF WORK AND PROPERTY - EMERGENCY F-18 The CONTRACTOR shall at all times safely guard the OWNER'S property from injury or loss in connection with this Contract.

In case of an emergency which threatens loss or injury of property and/or safety of life, the CONTRACTOR will be allowed to act, without previous instructions from the Architect/Engineer, in a diligent manner. He shall notify the Architect/Engineer immediately thereafter. Any claim for compensation by the CONTRACTOR due to such extra work shall be promptly submitted to the Architect/Engineer for approval. Where the CONTRACTOR has not taken action but has notified the Architect/Engineer of an emergency threatening injury to persons or damage to the work or any adjoining property, he shall act as instructed or authorized by the Architect/Engineer. The amount of reimbursement claimed by the CONTRACTOR on account of any emergency action shall be determined in the manner provided in Paragraph 49 of the General Conditions. 54.

A.1. (i) Minimum Wages. All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act.

(II)(a) Any class of laborers or mechanics which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. HUD shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met: (1)The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and (2)The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and (3)The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (b)If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and HUD or its designee agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by HUD or its designee to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor , Washington, D.C. 20210.

(III)Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed In the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. (iv)If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB Control Number 1215-0140.) 2.Withholding.

The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman’s hourly rate) specified in the contractor’s or subcontractor’s registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice’s level of progress expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program.

Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rte who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.

(TWE) is pleased to submit this report for the referenced project. This report contains a brief description of the project, the scope of services provided and our geotechnical recommendations associated with the project. Project Overview The project includes the design and construction of a new animal shelter with associated parking at 3600 Gates Boulevard in Port Arthur, Texas. The new animal shelter building will be located adjacent to an existing building on-site within a 15.2-acre parcel. Based on Google Earth® imagery, a multi-story medical facility was demolished between August 2020 and February 2021 at the existing project site. We understand foundation recommendations are required for the new building and pavement recommendations are required for parking lots. A site plan provided by the Client is presented in Appendix A for reference. Scope of Services The purposes of our geotechnical services were to evaluate the subsurface conditions within the project site and to provide geotechnical design recommendations needed to assist the Client in the design and construction of suitable foundations and pavements for the project. Field Program The subsurface soil and groundwater conditions within the project site were explored by performing four (4) test borings within the animal shelter and parking lot footprint: two (2) test borings to depths of 20-ft below existing grade for the building and two (2) test borings to depths of 6-ft below existing grade for the parking lot. The test boring locations are presented on TWE Drawing No. 23.23.094-1 in Appendix B. TWE coordinated the field activities, logged the boreholes and attempted groundwater level measurements during drilling and sampling. New Animal Shelter Port Arthur, Texas TWE Project No. 23.23.094 Report No. 141899 Page 2 of 15 Test Borings Drilling Methods The test borings were performed in general accordance with the Standard Practice for Soil Investigation and Sampling by Auger Borings (ASTM D1452) using conventional highland buggy-mounted drilling equipment. The boreholes were advanced with dry-auger drilling methods until groundwater was encountered and completed to depth using wash-rotary drilling techniques. Soil samples were obtained continuously from the existing ground surface to a depth of 12-ft below existing grade at 13-ft to 15-ft and at 18-ft to 20-ft below existing grade. Soil Sampling Fine-grained, cohesive soil samples were recovered from the soil borings by hydraulically pushing a 3-in diameter, thin-walled Shelby tube to a distance of about 24-in. The field sampling procedures were conducted in general accordance with the Standard Practice for Thin-Walled Tube Sampling of Soils (ASTM D1587). Our Geotechnician visually classified the recovered soils and obtained field strength measurements of the recovered soils using a calibrated pocket penetrometer and/or hand torvane. The tube samples were extruded in the field, wrapped in foil, placed in moisture-sealed plastic bags and protected from disturbance during transportation to the laboratory. Cohesive clay soils thought to be coarse-grained were collected with the standard penetration test (SPT) sampler driven 18-in by blows from a 140-lb hammer falling 30-in in accordance with the Standard Test method for Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils (ASTM D1586). The number of blows required to advance the sampler three (3) consecutive 6-in depths are recorded for each corresponding sample on the boring log. The N-value, in blows per foot, is obtained from SPTs by adding the last two (2) blow count numbers. The samples obtained from the split-barrel sampler were visually classified, placed in moisture-sealed containers and transported to our laboratory for testing. Boring Logs Our interpretations of general subsurface soil and groundwater conditions at the test boring locations are included on the boring logs in Appendix C. Our interpretations of the soil types throughout the boring depths and the locations of strata changes were based on visual classifications during field sampling and laboratory testing in accordance with the Standard Practice for Classification of Soils for Engineering Purposes (Unified Soil Classification System) (ASTM D2487) and the Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedure) (ASTM D2488). The logs include the type and interval depth for each sample along with their corresponding field strength or resistance values. A key to terms and symbols used on boring logs is also presented in Appendix C. Groundwater Measurements Groundwater level measurements were attempted in the open boreholes when groundwater was first encountered during dry-auger drilling and at 5-min intervals over a 15-min time period. Groundwater measurements obtained from the test borings are presented on the boring logs in Appendix C and are discussed on Page 4 of this report. New Animal Shelter Port Arthur, Texas TWE Project No. 23.23.094 Report No. 141899 Page 3 of 15 Laboratory Services Laboratory tests were performed in general accordance with ASTM International standards to determine physical and engineering properties of the subsurface strata encountered in the test borings. The types and brief descriptions of the geotechnical laboratory tests performed are presented in Table 1 below.

Subsurface Soil and Groundwater Conditions Discussion Our interpretations of subsurface soil and groundwater conditions within the project sites are based on information obtained at the test boring locations shown in Appendix B. This information was used as the basis for our conclusions and recommendations presented in this report. Please note the subsurface conditions encountered in the individual project borings can vary at areas not explored by the test borings. If encountered during construction, significant variations at areas within the project site not explored by the test borings could require reassessment of our recommendations. The ground surface within the site was relatively flat and covered with grass and sand. There was a building on the site which had been demolished and removed from the site prior to our field program. The subsurface conditions consisted of medium dense clayey sand soils to a depth of 2-ft below existing grade underlain by firm to still but generally stiff cohesive clay soils consisting of fat clays, fat clay with sand and lean clay. It should be noted that a layer of clayey silt was encountered from 18-ft to 20-ft below existing grade at TB-2. Groundwater was first encountered during dry-auger drilling at 12.2-ft at TB-2 with static water levels rising to 8.2-ft over a 15-min hold period. Groundwater was not encountered in the remaining test borings. A design static water level of 8-ft was considered for our engineering analyses. The groundwater level can fluctuate with climatic and seasonal variations and should be verified before installation of the pipeline. Accurate determination of the static groundwater level is typically made with a standpipe piezometer. Installation of piezometers to evaluate long-term groundwater conditions at the project site was not included in our scope of work. New Animal Shelter Port Arthur, Texas TWE Project No. 23.23.094 Report No. 141899 Page 4 of 15 Soil Shrink/Swell Potential The tendency for soils to shrink and swell with change in moisture content is a function of clay content and type. These properties are generally defined by the Atterberg Limits. A generalized relationship between shrink/swell potential and the soil plasticity index (PI) is shown in Table 2 below. Table 2: Relationship Between Plasticity Index and Shrink/Swell Potential Plasticity Index Range Shrink/Swell Potential 0 – 10 Very Low 10 – 15 Low 15 – 25 Medium 25 – 35 High > 35 Very High Based on Table 12-2 of the International Code Council (ICC) Geotechnical Engineers Handbook (2nd Edition). The amount of expansion that will actually occur with increase in moisture content is inversely related to the overburden pressure. Therefore, the larger the overburden pressure, the smaller the amount of expansion. Near-surface soils are thus susceptible to shrink/swell behavior because they experience relatively low overburden pressures. The zone of seasonal moisture variation (active zone) at the location of this project site is believed to be limited to the upper 6-ft depth range from existing grade. The presence of a water table will tend to keep the clays near the water table saturated and thus less likely to swell. Overall, based on the soil boring data in the locality of the proposed structure locations, the existing clay soils encountered within the upper 6-ft depth range possess very high shrink/swell properties. Calculations of Potential Vertical Rise (PVR) using TxDOT Tex-124-E tend to predict upper bound values of shrink/swell behavior, particularly when considering wide fluctuations in moisture content from dry to saturated conditions. Considering the site location, ground moisture conditions, normal climatic changes at this site, and expected groundwater levels, we estimate potential shrink/swell movements of existing site soils could be on the order of about 2-in to 3-in. Approximately 1-in of PVR is generally accepted as a maximum allowable value for the geographical area with respect to permanent foundation systems or structures. If the computed shrink/swell movement is greater than the tolerable limits for the project, consideration can be given to soil exchange with structural select fill or to foundations which extend past the zone of seasonal moisture change as discussed in the following paragraphs. Shallow Foundation Recommendations General We understand shallow foundation systems are being considered for support of the new building. Based on the subsurface conditions encountered in the project borings, shrink/swell behavior could impact the performance of shallow spread footings or slab-on-grade foundations planned for this project that are sensitive to potential shrink/swell movements. New Animal Shelter Port Arthur, Texas TWE Project No. 23.23.094 Report No. 141899 Page 5 of 15 We recommend a shallow foundation system consisting of drilled pier footings (pier) with a ground-supported floor slab for reducing potential shrink/swell movements from expansive subgrade soils because the depth of the footing extends below the zone of seasonal moisture variation. Recommendations for design of drilled footing foundations and building slabs are provided in the following sections. Foundation Depth and Size Shallow, dry-augered straight-sided or drilled and underreamed footings can be used to support the proposed animal shelter building. We recommend the footings be placed between at a depth of 8-ft below existing grade within competent natural clay soils. The footings should have a minimum shaft diameter of 18-in to facilitate footing inspection and reinforcement installation. The footings should have appropriate steel reinforcement, extending from the top to bottom of footing, per the Structural Engineer’s recommendations. It is frequently advisable in expansive soil environments to provide additional steel reinforcing in the footings. The tension steel should extend the full length of the shaft and the underream, if applicable. A steel quantity of 0.5% of the gross shaft area is usually sufficient. If drilled-and-underreamed piers are used, we recommend the ratio of underream to shaft diameter be no greater than 3.0. The angle of underreamed bells to horizontal should not be less than 45° to avoid potential collapse of the bells. In case of borehole sloughing at the time of bell drilling, a larger angle of 60° should be used. The clear spacing drilled footings should be a minimum of three (3) straight-shaft diameter for foundation design. Although not anticipated at this site, if excavation of pier shafts or bell underreams cannot be completed because local anomalies are encountered or sloughing and/or caving occurs, TWE should be contacted to investigate these issues and provide remedial recommendations. Allowable Net Soil Bearing Pressure The recommended allowable net bearing pressures for drilled footings placed on undisturbed natural clay soils at the minimum recommended depth is 2,800-psf. This allowable net bearing pressure value includes a factor of safety of 3.0 against soil shear failure and is based solely on end bearing resistance at the recommended footing depth. Footings installed deeper than 8-ft below existing grade at this site could encounter groundwater and is not recommended. Uplift Resistance of Drilled-and-Underreamed Footings There are several methods available to estimate the allowable uplift capacity of drilled and underreamed footing. The following semi-empirical equations recommended by Turner (1962) evaluate the uplift capacity of a weightless drilled and underreamed footing. The work performed by Turner (1962) was primarily concerned with the evaluation of the uplift resistance of underream type footings. Both field and laboratory testing programs were conducted to define the empirical relationships between uplift resistance, footing dimensions and soil properties for shallow and deep anchor behaviors of underreamed footings. The field tests were conducted at relative depths (height to diameter ratio) no greater than 2.0 in soils normally encountered in the Gulf Coast area. New Animal Shelter Port Arthur, Texas TWE Project No. 23.23.094 Report No. 141899 Page 6 of 15 It should be noted that the coefficients used in the original Turner (1962) equations were based on tsf unit for shear strength where the uplift capacity is estimated in tons. We have modified the coefficients and units in the equations presented in this report to represent shear strength in ksf where the uplift capacity is evaluated in kips. Also, the equations were modified by adding a factored weight of the footing (concrete and soil above the underream) to the allowable uplift capacity. A factor of safety of 1.2 was included on the weight of footing. For Df/B ratio greater than or equals 1.5 (Deep Anchor Behavior): Qa = Wf/1.2 + [5.8(Su)(B2 – b2)/FS] For Df/B less than 1.5 (Shallow Anchor Behavior): Qa = Wf/1.2 + [3(Su)0.5 (Df/B)2(B2 – b2)/FS] where: Qa = Allowable Uplift Capacity of Weightless Footing (kips) Wf = Weight of Footing (kips) Su = Undrained Soil Cohesion (ksf) Df = Depth of Base of Footing below Ground Surface (ft) B = Diameter of Underream (ft) b = Diameter of Shaft (ft) FS = Factor of Safety (recommend 3.0 for sustained load, 2.0 for transient load) For relative depth Df/B approaching 1.5, we recommend the uplift capacity be evaluated as the lesser of the values obtained by equations on the preceding page. We recommend an undrained cohesion (Su) value of 1.0-ksf be used with the above equations to determine uplift resistance for the short-term condition which is generally the critical case. To resist uplift forces, the underream diameter should be at least 1-ft larger than the shaft diameter. We recommend using total unit weights of 150-pcf and 120-pcf for concrete and the weight of the soil wedge extending upwards from the base, respectively. Buoyant unit weights of 90-pcf and 60-pcf should be used for concrete and soil, respectively, in case of submergence. Uplift Resistance of Straight-Sided Drilled Footings For straight-sided drilled footings, resistance to uplift is provided by shaft side friction plus the weight of the footing. To compute allowable uplift capacity, an allowable side friction of 275-psf can be used for design. This allowable side friction value includes a factor of safety of 2.0. The side friction should be multiplied by the surfaced area of the shaft in contact with the natural clay neglecting the base. We recommend neglecting the upper 3-ft for side resistance to account for potential moisture content changes and shrinkage cracks unless area paving or other impervious permanent ground cover is provided around the perimeter of the footing. Based on the anticipated groundwater depth measurements at the project site interpreted from the test borings, we recommend a total unit weight of 150-pcf be used for concrete to calculate the weight of the footing. In case of submergence, a buoyant unit weight of 90-pcf should be used for concrete. A factor of safety of 1.2 should be applied on the weight of the footing. New Animal Shelter Port Arthur, Texas TWE Project No. 23.23.094 Report No. 141899 Page 7 of 15 Resistance to Lateral and Eccentric Loads The lateral response of drilled footings will depend upon the relative stiffness of the foundation and the surrounding soils. Drilled footings subject to relatively small magnitudes of lateral and eccentric vertical loads can be designed using the design equations and procedures presented in Appendix D. The equations presented pertain to the short-term condition in cohesive soils. The simplistic procedure presented in Appendix D should be used only under the following assumptions. The footing slenderness ratio is such that the footing can be considered rigid. The lateral resistance is primarily due to the passive resistance of the soil. The supported structure is not very sensitive to lateral deformation. The lateral load is no greater than 25% of the vertical load. If the above conditions are not met, a more rigorous lateral analysis approach should be followed such as lateral analysis of semi-flexible or flexible footings using the computer program LPile by Ensoft, Inc.. A more detailed lateral response analysis is also recommended for drilled footings that are subject to significant horizontal loads or if lateral deflection is a design concern. TWE Should be contacted to provide these additional analyses, if needed. For the conditions observed within the project site, we recommend the soil parameters presented in Table 3 below for use with the simplistic procedures presented in Appendix D. To use these equations, the depth of the upper exclusion zone (Ds) for passive resistance and shrinkage cracking should be taken as 3-ft unless area paving or other impervious permanent ground cover is provided around the perimeter of the footing. The passive resistance along the thickness of any surficial undocumented fill should also be neglected. Table 3: Lateral Analysis Soil Design Parameters (Drilled Footings) Parameter 0-ft to 8-ft Undrained Shear Strength, Su 1,000-psf Total Unit Weight of Soil, γ 120-pcf Factor of Safety 2.0 for sustained and 1.5 for transient loads Settlement We have estimated settlement for drilled footings based on our experience. Our estimate assumes uniformly-loaded foundations with bearing pressures no greater than the recommended allowable net bearing pressures provided in this report. We also assume the foundations will be designed and constructed in accordance with the recommendations provided in this report. In addition, these estimates assume the drilled footings will act as isolated foundations. Therefore, the clear spacing between the footings should be great enough to significantly reduce the influence from adjacent foundations. The recommended clear spacing between drilled footings should be a minimum of one (1) footing bottom diameter for foundation design. New Animal Shelter Port Arthur, Texas TWE Project No. 23.23.094 Report No. 141899 Page 8 of 15 Total settlement of properly designed and constructed drilled footings is estimated to be less than 1- in assuming a clear spacing between footings of at least one (1) footing diameter. Differential settlement between drilled footings could be on the order of about one-half (1/2) the total settlement. Building Floor Slab Design As previously discussed, the clay soils at the project site within the upper 6-ft possess very high shrink/swell potential. It is generally accepted that a primary source of foundation distress is soil movements associated with shrink/swell behavior of subgrade soils. It is therefore recommended that measures be incorporated into design of ground supported floor slabs for the proposed building to reduce the potential for shrink/swell movements. Alternatively, the building floor slab could be structurally supported on the drilled footing foundation system and isolated from the underlying subgrade soils. Although structural isolation is the most positive method of eliminating shrink/swell movements, it is significantly more expensive than a ground supported floor slab. TWE should be contacted for additional design recommendations if the structural isolation method is preferred for this project. Ground Supported Floor Slabs Floor slabs for the proposed building could consist of a ground supported floor slab provided that remedial methods are used to reduce the potential for shrink/swell movement to tolerable levels. The typical method of reducing the swell potential includes installation of a layer of non-expansive soil beneath the floor slab. This method has beneficial results but does not totally eliminate the potential for shrink/swell movements. In order to reduce the potential shrink/swell movements to tolerable limits (about 1 inch or less), it is recommended that a minimum of 3-ft of non-expansive select structural fill be provided beneath the floor slab. We recommend that the 3-ft of non-expansive material consist of structural select fill as described in the “Construction Considerations” section of this report. Material and compaction requirements for the structural select fill are provided in the “Construction Considerations” section of this report entitled “Subgrade Preparation and Structural Select Fill”. The minimum fill thickness may be provided by undercutting the existing material and replacing it with select fill, raising the building pad with select fill, or a combination of these two alternatives. Structural select fill should extend full depth at least 3.0-ft beyond the perimeter of the building. It should be noted that these methods for reducing shrink/swell movements are designed for normal seasonal changes in soil moisture content of the subgrade soils. Excessive shrink/swell movements can be expected if increases in soil moisture content occur as a result of broken water and sewer lines, improper drainage of surface water, shrubbery and trees planted near the foundation slab and excessive lawn or shrubbery irrigation. Due to the expansive nature of the subgrade soils at this site, special care should be taken not to allow the exposed subgrade soils to become extremely wet or extremely dry of the existing moisture content. New Animal Shelter Port Arthur, Texas TWE Project No. 23.23.094 Report No. 141899 Page 9 of 15 Therefore, delays between excavation and fill placement should be avoided. If construction occurs during rainy weather and the exposed subgrade soils are allowed to become wet or saturated, removal and replacement of excessively soft, wet soils or lime-stabilization should be anticipated. The depth of undercutting should be determined in the field by the geotechnical engineer. It is recommended that a vapor barrier such as polyethylene sheeting be provided beneath soil supported floor slabs. Adequate construction joints and reinforcement should be provided to reduce the potential for cracking of the floor slab due to differential movement and volume change in concrete. Pavement Design Recommendations Pavement Design Criteria For the proposed use of this development and the anticipated traffic frequencies, a rigid or flexible pavement system could be considered for this project. Detailed traffic loads and frequencies were not available. Tabulated below are the assumed traffic frequencies and loads used to design pavement sections for this project. Table 4: Vehicle Classification and Traffic Loading Pavement Area Traffic Design Index Description Parking Areas DI-1 Light traffic: few vehicles heavier than passenger cars; no regular use by heavily-loaded two (2) axle trucks or larger Light-Duty Driveways DI-2 Light to medium traffic: similar to DI-1; less than fifty (50) loaded, two (2) axle trucks or lightly-loaded larger vehicles per day; no regular use by heavily-loaded trucks with three (3) or more axles Heavy-Duty Driveways and Loading Areas DI-3 Medium traffic: less than three-hundred (300) heavily- loaded, two (2) axle trucks or buses per day; no more than thirty (30) heavily-loaded trucks with more than three (3) axles per day Listed in the Table 5 on the following page are pavement component thicknesses which may be used as a guide for pavement systems at the site for the traffic classifications stated herein. It should be noted that these systems were derived based on general soil characterization of the subgrade. No specific testing (such as CBR's, resilient modulus tests, etc.) was performed for this project to evaluate the support characteristics of the subgrade. A CBR value of 3.0 and a Modulus of Subgrade Reaction value of 100-pci have been estimated for pavement design purposes. New Animal Shelter Port Arthur, Texas TWE Project No. 23.23.094 Report No. 141899 Page 10 of 15 Table 5: Recommended Pavement Thicknesses Rigid Pavement System Material Thickness Component DI-1 DI-2 DI-3 Reinforced Concrete 5.0-in 6.0-in 8.0-in Stabilized Subgrade 8.0-in 8.0-in 8.0-in Reinforcing steel consisting of deformed steel rebar should be used in concrete pavement. Thickness is based on concrete flexural strength, soil modulus and traffic volume. Selection of steel is dependent on joint spacing, slab thickness and other factors as discussed in Portland Cement Association publications. The following suggested guidelines for the concrete pavement should be modified by the civil-structural engineer based upon the actual configuration of the pavement layout and published Portland Cement Association and ACI articles. Table 6 below presents these guidelines. Table 6: Rigid Pavement Components Component Description Minimum Reinforcing Steel #3 bars should be spaced at 18-in on centers in both directions. Minimum Dowel Size 3/4-in bars, 18-in in length, with one (1) end treated to slip should be spaced at 12-in on centers at each joint. Control Joint Spacing Maximum control joint spacing should be 15-ft. If sawcut, control joints should be cut as soon as the concrete has hardened sufficiently to permit sawing without excessive raveling which is usually within four (4) to twenty-four (24) hours of concrete placement. Isolation / Expansion Joints Expansion joints should be used in areas adjacent to structures, such as manholes and walls. Pavement Section Materials Reinforced Concrete: Concrete should be designed to exhibit a flexural strength [three (3) point loading] of at least 500-psi at twenty-eight (28) days. Flexural strength (Mr) may be approximated by the following formula from ACI 330R: Mr=2.3(fc2/3) where fc is the compressive strength of the concrete. The actual relationship between flexural and compressive strength for the proposed mix should be evaluated in the laboratory. In general, 500-psi flexural strength can be typically achieved with a concrete mix designed for a minimum twenty-eight (28) day compressive strength of 3,000-psi. Crushed Limestone Base: Base material should be composed of crushed limestone meeting the requirements of TxDOT 2014 Standard Specifications Item 247, Type A, Grade 1. The base should be compacted in maximum 6-in compacted lifts to a minimum of 95% of the maximum density as determined by ASTM D 1557-91, at -2% to +3% of optimum moisture content. Stabilized Clay Subgrade: The clay subgrade shall be stabilized with hydrated lime in accordance with TxDOT 2014 Standard Specification Item 260. It is estimated that 6% hydrated lime by dry New Animal Shelter Port Arthur, Texas TWE Project No. 23.23.094 Report No. 141899 Page 11 of 15 weight of soil will be required. The actual quantity of lime required should be determined after the site is stripped and the subgrade soils are exposed by use of a laboratory strength series test. The lime used should be Type A hydrated lime or Type B commercial slurry conforming to TxDOT Item 264. The lime stabilized subgrade shall be compacted to a minimum 95% of the Standard Proctor Compaction Effort (ASTM D 698-91) at above the optimum moisture content. Pavement Maintenance Maintaining the pavement to prevent infiltration of water into the subgrade soils is essential. Allowing water to infiltrate the subgrade will result in high maintenance costs and premature pavement failure. Periodic maintenance should be performed on the pavement sections to seal any surface cracks and prevent infiltration of water into the subgrade. Construction Considerations Subgrade Preparation and Structural Select Fill Areas designated for new construction should be stripped of all surface vegetation, loose topsoil and fill material. Refer to the “Ground Supported Floor Slab” section of this report for special site preparation requirements in the building areas. The exposed soil subgrade should then be proof- rolled with at least a 15-ton pneumatic roller, loaded dump truck or equivalent to detect weak areas. Such weak areas should be removed and replaced with soils exhibiting similar classification, moisture content and density as the adjacent in-place soils. Proper site drainage should be maintained during construction so that ponding of surface runoff does not occur and cause construction delays or inhibit site access. If the natural subgrade becomes wet and soft, consideration can be given to either removal or replacement of the wet material with structural fill material. The maximum loose thickness for each lift will depend on the type of compaction equipment used. Recommended fill layers are summarized in Table 7 below. Table 7: Compaction Equipment and Maximum Lift Thickness Compaction Equipment Maximum Lift Thickness Mechanical Hand Tamper 4.0-in Pneumatic Tired Roller 6.0-in Tamping Foot Roller 8.0-in Sheepsfoot Roller 8.0-in Structural fill for the various project areas should consist of a clean, low-plasticity sandy clay material with a liquid limit of less than 40 and a plasticity index between 10 and 20. Select fill should be placed in thin lifts, not exceeding 8-in loose measure, moisture conditioned between -2% and +3% of optimum moisture content and compacted to a minimum 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 698 (Standard Proctor Compaction Effort). New Animal Shelter Port Arthur, Texas TWE Project No. 23.23.094 Report No. 141899 Page 12 of 15 Prior to any filling operations, samples of the proposed fill materials should be obtained for laboratory moisture-density testing. The tests will provide a basis for evaluation of fill compaction by in-place density testing. A qualified soil technician should perform sufficient in-place density tests during the filling operations to verify that proper levels of compaction are being attained. Shallow Foundation Construction Grade beams should be excavated with a smooth mouthed bucket. Loose soil remaining after excavation should be removed prior to steel placement. Any excavations should be sloped sufficiently to create internal sumps for runoff collection and removal. If surface runoff water or groundwater seepage in excess of 1-in accumulates at the bottom of the foundation excavation, it should be collected and removed. Excavations made in the building area for construction of grade beams and floor slabs should not be allowed to remain open for extended periods. If excavations are to remain open, the use of a concrete mud mat to reduce moisture changes or other damage to the natural subgrade soils should be considered. If soft or loose soils are encountered at the design excavation level, they should be undercut to firm or dense soils and the excavation backfilled with lean concrete. The performance of shallow foundation systems associated with the project will be highly dependent upon the quality of construction. Thus, we recommend shallow foundation construction be monitored by TWE to evaluate construction activities in accordance with this report and the project plans and specifications. Drilled Footing Installation Performance of project structures supported on drilled footings will be directly related to the Contractor’s adherence to the recommendations in this report and the project plans and specifications. Therefore, we recommend installation monitoring services be provided by TWE for this project. Installation monitoring services will provide verification the footings are installed in accordance with the intentions of this report and the project installation criteria. The following items are important to the successful completion of drilled footings within the project site: 1. All footing excavations should be observed by TWE to determine when the proper bearing stratum is encountered and to record other observations regarding footing construction such as size, installation method and other pertinent items related to casing, slurry, reinforcement and concrete as applicable. 2. Footing excavations should be checked for size and depth prior to the placement of concrete. Precautions should be taken during the placement of reinforcement and concrete to prevent the loose excavated material from falling into the excavation. 3. Drilled footings should be installed in accordance with the "Manual on Drilled Shafts: Construction Procedures and Design Methods", [U.S. Department of Transportation-Federal Highway Administration (Pub. No. FHWA-IF-99-025) and ADSC: The International Association of Foundation Drilling Contractors (Pub. No. ADSC-TL-4), August 1999] by Lymon, C. Reese and Michael W. O'Neill New Animal Shelter Port Arthur, Texas TWE Project No. 23.23.094 Report No. 141899 Page 13 of 15 4. It is assumed that the drilled footings can be placed in the dry above the groundwater table. Drilled footing placed beyond 8-ft depth could encounter static groundwater based on the information obtained from the soil borings If groundwater is encountered or sloughing and/or caving occur TWE’s Geotechnical Engineer should be contacted to provide alternative solutions 5. Prompt placement of concrete in the excavation as it is completed, cleaned, and inspected is strongly recommended to limit deterioration of the bearing stratum. Under no circumstances should a footing be drilled that cannot be filled with concrete before the end of the work day. Drainage The performance of the foundation system for the proposed building and pavement structures will not only be dependent upon the quality of construction but also upon the stability of the moisture content of the near surface soils. Therefore, we strongly recommend that site drainage be developed so that ponding of surface runoff near the structure does not occur. Accumulations of water near structure foundations may cause significant moisture variations in the soils adjacent to the foundation thus increasing the potential for structural distress. Open Excavations The sides of open excavations are susceptible to deterioration upon exposure and may become unstable. The contractor's competent supervisor should inspect all excavations and take appropriate safety measures including the use of trench shields and sloped excavations. We recommend that OSHA standards be observed with all excavations. Limitations Scope of Study The scope of this study, as well as the conclusions and recommendations provided herein, were developed based on our understanding of the project. Assumptions were made when specific information was unknown. Revisions to our conclusions and recommendations could be necessary as a result of any significant project changes or if our assumptions are incorrect. Construction dewatering design, earth retention design, and construction site safety are the responsibility of the Contractor and have not been addressed herein. The scope of our study did not include evaluation of areal fill conditions or geologic faults. In addition, assessment of environmental conditions, including investigation for hazardous materials/pollutants/wastes, regulatory compliance, threatened/endangered species, cultural resources, floodplains, and jurisdictional wetlands were beyond the scope of our study. Warranty The professional services that form the basis for this report have been performed using a degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised, under similar circumstances, by reputable geotechnical engineers practicing in the same locality. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made as to the professional advice set forth. New Animal Shelter Port Arthur, Texas TWE Project No. 23.23.094 Report No. 141899 Page 14 of 15 Subsurface Variations Our interpretations of subsurface conditions are based on data obtained at the boring locations only and at the time of our field exploration. Subsurface variations could exist at areas not explored. The validity of our recommendations is based, in part, on assumptions made about subsurface conditions in areas not explored. Such assumptions can only be confirmed during construction. Therefore, construction observations by TWE are recommended to check for variations in subsurface conditions. Significant changes from our assumptions could require modification to our findings and recommendations.

General: Formwork for sides of beams, walls, columns, and similar parts of the Work that does not support weight of concrete may be removed after cumulatively curing at not less than 50 deg F for 24 hours after placing concrete. Concrete has to be hard enough to not be damaged by form-removal operations and curing and protection operations need to be maintained. 1. Leave formwork for beam soffits, joists, slabs, and other structural elements that supports weight of concrete in place until concrete has achieved at least 70 percent of its 28-day design compressive strength. 2. Remove forms only if shores have been arranged to permit removal of forms without loosening or disturbing shores. 3. Determine compressive strength of in place concrete by testing representative field-cured test specimens according to ACI 301. B. Obtaining concrete compressive strength tests for the purposes of form removal shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. C. In the absence of cylinder tests, formwork shall remain in place until the concrete has cured at a temperature of at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius) for the minimum cumulative time periods given in ACI 347, Section 3.7.2.3. When the surrounding air temperature is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius), that time period shall be added to the minimum listed time period. D. Formwork for two-way conventionally reinforced slabs shall remain in place for at least the minimum cumulative time periods specified for one-way slabs of the same maximum span. Two-way conventionally reinforced slabs shall then be reshored until they attain the specified 28 day strength. E. Minimum cumulative curing times may be reduced by the use of high-early strength cement or forming systems that allow form removal without displacing shores. However, the Contractor must demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Architect, that the early removal of forms will not result in excessive sag, distortion or damage to the concrete elements. F. Clean and repair surfaces of forms to be reused in the Work. Split, frayed, delaminated, or otherwise damaged form-facing material will not be acceptable for exposed surfaces. Apply new form-release agent. G. When forms are reused, clean surfaces, remove fins and laitance, and tighten to close joints. Align and secure joints to avoid offsets. Do not use patched forms for exposed concrete surfaces unless approved by Architect. 3.4 SHORES AND RESHORES A. Comply with ACI 318 and ACI 301 for design, installation, and removal of shoring and reshoring. 1. Do not remove shoring or reshoring until measurement of slab tolerances is complete. B. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for proper shoring and reshoring. Locate and provide adequate reshoring to support construction without excessive stress or deflection.

In multistory construction, extend shoring or reshoring over a sufficient number of stories to distribute loads in such a manner that no floor or member will be excessively loaded or will induce tensile stress in concrete members without sufficient steel reinforcement. Reshores shall be located in the same position on each floor. No construction loads shall be placed on the new construction until all supporting reshores have been installed. 1. Extend shores or reshores from ground to top level in structure three stories or less in height, unless noted otherwise. 2. In structures over three stories in height, extend shores or reshores at least three levels under the level being placed.

Use masking tape to protect adjacent surfaces of recessed tooled joints. 3.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL A. Field-Adhesion Testing: Field-test joint-sealant adhesion to joint substrates as follows: 1. Extent of Testing: Test completed elastomeric sealant joints as follows: a. Perform 10 tests for the first 1000 feet of joint length for each type of elastomeric sealant and joint substrate. b. Perform one test for each 1000 feet of joint length thereafter or one test per each floor per elevation. 2. Test Method: Test joint sealants by hand-pull method described below: a. Make knife cuts from one side of joint to the other, followed by two cuts approximately 2 inches long at sides of joint and meeting cross cut at one end. Place a mark 1 inch from cross-cut end of 2-inch piece. b. Use fingers to grasp 2-inch piece of sealant between cross-cut end and 1- inch mark; pull firmly at a 90-degree angle or more in direction of side cuts while holding a ruler along side of sealant. Pull sealant out of joint to the distance recommended by sealant manufacturer for testing adhesive capability, but not less than that equaling specified maximum movement capability in extension; hold this position for 10 seconds. c. For joints with dissimilar substrates, check adhesion to each substrate separately. Do this by extending cut along one side, checking adhesion to opposite side, and then repeating this procedure for opposite side. 3. Inspect joints for complete fill, for absence of voids, and for joint configuration complying with specified requirements. Record results in a field adhesion test log. 4. Inspect tested joints and report on the following: a. Whether sealants in joints connected to pulled-out portion failed to adhere to joint substrates or tore cohesively. Include data on pull distance used to test each type of product and joint substrate. Compare these results to determine if adhesion passes sealant manufacturer's field- adhesion hand- pull test criteria. b. Whether sealants filled joint cavities and are free from voids. c. Whether sealant dimensions and configurations comply with specified requirements. 5. Record test results in a field adhesion test log. Include dates when sealants were installed, names of persons who installed sealants, test dates, test locations, whether joints were primed, adhesion results and percent elongations, sealant fill, sealant configuration, and sealant dimensions. 6. Repair sealants pulled from test area by applying new sealants following same procedures used to originally seal joints. Ensure that original sealant surfaces are clean and new sealant contacts original sealant.

Evaluation of Field-Test Results: Sealants not evidencing adhesive failure from testing or noncompliance with other indicated requirements, will be considered satisfactory. Remove sealants that fail to adhere to joint substrates during testing or to comply with other requirements. Retest failed applications until test results prove sealants comply with indicated requirements. 3.5 PROTECTION AND CLEANING B. Protect joint sealants during and after curing period from contact with contaminating substances or from damage resulting from construction operations or other causes so that they are without deterioration or damage at time of Substantial Completion. If, despite such protection, damage or deterioration occurs, cut out and remove damaged or deterio- rated joint sealants immediately and reseal joints with new materials to produce joint sealant installations with repaired areas indistinguishable from original work. C. Clean off excess sealants or sealant smears adjacent to joints as work progresses by methods and with cleaning materials approved by manufacturers of joint sealants and of products in which joints occur.

B.Definitions and explanations of this Section are not necessarily either complete or exclusive,but are general for work to the extent not stated more explicitly in another provision of the Contract Documents. C.Indicated:The term "Indicated"is a cross-reference to details,notes or schedules on the Drawings,to other paragraphs or schedules in the Specifications and to similar means of recording requirements in Contract Documents.Where such terms as "Shown","Noted", "Scheduled","Specified"and "Detailed"are used in lieu of "Indicated",it is for the purpose of helping the reader locate cross-reference material,and no limitation of location is intended except as specifically shown. D.Directed:Where not otherwise explained,terms such as "Directed","Requested", "Accepted",and "Permitted"mean by the Architect or Engineer.However,no such implied meaning will be interpreted to extend the Architect's or Engineer's responsibility into the Contractor's area of construction supervision. E.Reviewed:Where used in conjunction with the Engineer's response to submittals, requests for information,applications,inquiries,reports and claims by the Contractor the meaning of the term "Reviewed"will be held to limitations of Architect's and Engineer's responsibilities and duties as specified in the General and Supplemental Conditions.In no case will "Reviewed"by Engineer be interpreted as a release of the Contractor from responsibility to fulfill the terms and requirements of the Contract Documents. F.Furnish:Except as otherwise defined in greater detail,the term "Furnish"is used to mean supply and deliver new to the project site,ready for unloading,unpacking,assembly, installation,etc.,as applicable in each instance. G.Install:Except as otherwise defined in greater detail,the term "Install"is used to describe operations at the project site including unloading,unpacking,assembly,erection,placing, anchoring,applying,working to dimension,finishing,curing,protection,cleaning and similar operations,as applicable in each instance.

J.Imperative Language:Used generally in Specifications.Except as otherwise indicated, requirements expressed imperatively are to be performed by the Contractor.For clarity of reading at certain locations,contrasting subjective language is used to describe responsibilities that must be fulfilled indirectly by the Contractor,or when so noted by other identified installers or entities. K.Minimum Quality/Quantity:In every instance,the quality level or quantity shown or specified is intended as minimum quality level or quantity of work to be performed or provided.Except as otherwise specifically indicated,the actual work may either comply exactly with that minimum (within specified tolerances),or may exceed that minimum within reasonable tolerance limits.In complying with requirements,indicated or scheduled numeric values are either minimums or maximums as noted or as appropriate for the context of the requirements.Refer instances of uncertainty to Owner or Engineer via a request for information (RFI)for decision before proceeding. L.Abbreviations and Symbols:The language of Specifications and other Contract Documents including Drawings is of an abbreviated type in certain instances,and implies words and meanings which will be appropriately interpreted.Actual word abbreviations of a self-explanatory nature have been included in text of Specifications and Drawings.

If deadlines pass without resolution of identified problems, Owner reserves the right to obtain supplementary services and/or equipment to resolve the problem. Costs thus incurred will be Contractor’s responsibility. 3.5 PRE-FUNCTIONAL CHECKLISTS (PFC) A.Contractor shall complete Pre-Functional Checklists to validate compliance with Contract Documents installation and start-up requirements,for this Division’s systems. B.Refer to commissioning plan for detailed list of equipment to be commissioned. 3.6 FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE TESTING (FPT) A.Contractor,in cooperation with Commissioning Agent,shall conduct Functional Performance Testing to validate compliance with Contract Documents. B.Refer to commissioning plan for detailed list of equipment to be commissioned. C.Provide commissioning authority with a certificate of readiness to show systems are ready to schedule functional testing. D.Assist Commissioning authority in Functional Testing by removing equipment covers, opening access panels,etc. Furnish ladders,flashlights,meters,gauges,or other inspection equipment as necessary. E.Sampling 1.Multiple identical pieces of non-life-safety or otherwise non-critical equipment may be functionally tested using a sampling strategy. 2.Significant application differences and significant sequence of operation differences in otherwise identical equipment invalidates their common identity.A small size or capacity difference,alone,does not constitute a difference.It is noted that no sampling by Subs is allowed in pre-functional checklist execution. 3.A common sampling strategy is the “xx%Sampling -yy%Failure Rule”,defined by the following example. a.xx =the percent of the group of identical equipment to be included in each sample. b.yy =the percent of the sample that if failing,will require another sample to be tested. c.The example below describes a 20%Sampling -10%Failure Rule. d.Randomly test at least 20%(xx)of each group of identical equipment.In no case test less than three units in each group.This 20%,or three,constitute the “first sample.” e.If 10%(yy)of the units in the first sample fail the functional tests,test another 20%of the group (the second sample). f.If 10%of the units in the second sample fail,test all remaining units in the whole group. City of Port Arthur Animal Services Issue for Permit and Bid 3615 Gates Blvd., Port Arthur, Texas 77642 10/26/2023 City of Port Arthur Animal Services Issued for Bidding and Permitting 3615 Gates Blvd., Port Arthur, Texas 77642 10/27/23 City of Port Arthur Animal Shelter 100%Construction Documents 3600 Gates Blvd.,Port Arthur,Texas 77642 10/19/23 COMMISSIONING OF PLUMBING SYSTEMS PGAL Project No.1005964.00 22 08 00 -6 g.If at any point,frequent failures are occurring and testing is becoming more troubleshooting than verification,the CxA may stop the testing and require the responsible Sub to perform and document a checkout of the remaining units,prior to continuing with functionally testing the remaining units. F.Re-Testing And Failure To Remedy Deficiencies 1.Despite Contractor’s best efforts to ensure systems are problem-free,it is expected that some deficiencies will be found during initial inspection of Pre-functional Checklist,and during initial Functional Testing;such deficiencies are expected to be minimal. 2.It is Contractor’s responsibility to remedy identified deficiencies,both in Pre- functional Checklist and in Functional Testing phases of work,in a timely and thorough manner. 3. It is Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that all deficiencies are corrected prior to requesting a re-inspection or re-test of systems and equipment.Do not request re- inspection or re-test until deficiencies are corrected. a.At his discretion,CxA may agree to re-testing systems or equipment where deficiencies remain which are beyond Contractor’s control to resolve expeditiously. b.Typically such re-testing of incomplete systems and equipment will take place only if remaining deficiencies are minor in scope and nature,and are of such nature that they cannot be resolved in a timely manner (such as those due to difficulties in obtaining parts,or where Owner has requested a change that has delayed work,etc.) 4.CxA will carry out a second re-inspection or re-test of systems and equipment subsequent to receiving Contractor’s request. a.If CxA finds deficiencies identified in initial inspection or test have not been remedied (with exception of un-resolvable deficiencies in 3.b.above),and such remaining deficiencies are significant enough to require additional inspection or re-testing,Contractor will be back-charged for CxA’s expenses, and time at a rate of $150.00 per hour and $100.00 expenses,for a third and any subsequent re-inspections and re-tests. G.Deferred Testing 1."Seasonal Commissioning”pertains to testing during peak heating or cooling seasons when HVAC equipment is operating at full-load or heavy-load conditions. Initial commissioning will be done as soon as contract work is completed, regardless of season.Seasonal Commissioning under full-or heavy-load conditions other than the current season will be handled at later time by GC and CxA. 2.If adequate load may be artificially placed upon heating or cooling equipment, CxA,at his discretion,may perform functional testing during non-peak load periods. 3.GC is to provide services of personnel and participate in seasonal testing process in the same manner as he would in non-seasonal testing. 4.Until off-season commissioning can be accomplished,Owner may retain an amount from GC’s payment sufficient to cover the cost of off-season testing.

Certain terms used in Contract Documents are defined generally in this article,unless defined otherwise in Division 01. B.Definitions and explanations of this Section are not necessarily either complete or exclusive,but are general for work to the extent not stated more explicitly in another provision of the Contract Documents. C.Indicated:The term "Indicated"is a cross-reference to details,notes or schedules on the Drawings,to other paragraphs or schedules in the Specifications and to similar means of recording requirements in Contract Documents. Where such terms as "Shown","Noted", "Scheduled","Specified"and "Detailed"are used in lieu of "Indicated",it is for the purpose of helping the reader locate cross-reference material,and no limitation of location is intended except as specifically shown. D.Directed: Where not otherwise explained,terms such as "Directed","Requested", "Accepted",and "Permitted"mean by the Architect or Engineer. However,no such implied meaning will be interpreted to extend the Architect's or Engineer's responsibility into the Contractor's area of construction supervision. E.Reviewed: Where used in conjunction with the Engineer's response to submittals, requests for information,applications,inquiries,reports and claims by the Contractor the meaning of the term "Reviewed"will be held to limitations of Architect's and Engineer's responsibilities and duties as specified in the General and Supplemental Conditions. In no case will "Reviewed"by Engineer be interpreted as a release of the Contractor from responsibility to fulfill the terms and requirements of the Contract Documents. F.Furnish: Except as otherwise defined in greater detail,the term "Furnish"is used to mean supply and deliver to the project site,ready for unloading,unpacking,assembly, installation,etc.,as applicable in each instance. G.Install: Except as otherwise defined in greater detail,the term "Install"is used to describe operations at the project site including unloading,unpacking,assembly,erection, placing,anchoring,applying,working to dimension,finishing,curing,protection, cleaning and similar operations,as applicable in each instance. City of Port Arthur Animal Services Issue for Permit and Bid 3615 Gates Blvd., Port Arthur, Texas 77642 10/26/2023 City of Port Arthur Animal Services Issued for Bidding and Permitting 3615 Gates Blvd., Port Arthur, Texas 77642 10/27/23 City of Port Arthur Animal Shelter 100%Construction Documents 3600 Gates Blvd.,Port Arthur,Texas 77642 10/19/23 BASIC MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR HVAC PGAL Project No.1005964.00 23 02 00 -6 H.Provide: Except as otherwise defined in greater detail,the term "Provide"is used to mean "Furnish and Install",complete and ready for intended use,as applicable in each instance. I.Installer: Entity (person or firm)engaged by the Contractor,or its Subcontractor or Sub- subcontractor for performance of a particular unit of work at the project site,including unloading,unpacking,assembly,erection,placing,anchoring,applying,working to dimension,finishing,curing,protection,cleaning and similar operations,as applicable in each instance. It is a general requirement that such entities (Installers)be expert in the operations they are engaged to perform. J.Imperative Language: Used generally in Specifications. Except as otherwise indicated, requirements expressed imperatively are to be performed by the Contractor. For clarity of reading at certain locations,contrasting subjective language is used to describe responsibilities that must be fulfilled indirectly by the Contractor or,when so noted,by other identified installers or entities. K.Minimum Quality/Quantity:In every instance,the quality level or quantity shown or specified is intended as minimum quality level or quantity of work to be performed or provided. Except as otherwise specifically indicated,the actual work may either comply exactly with that minimum (within specified tolerances),or may exceed that minimum within reasonable tolerance limits.In complying with requirements,indicated or scheduled numeric values are either minimums or maximums as noted or as appropriate for the context of the requirements.Refer instances of uncertainty to Owner or Engineer via a request for information (RFI)for decision before proceeding. L.Abbreviations and Symbols: The language of Specifications and other Contract Documents including Drawings is of an abbreviated type in certain instances,and implies words and meanings which will be appropriately interpreted. Actual word abbreviations of a self-explanatory nature have been included in text of Specifications and Drawings. Specific abbreviations and symbols have been established,principally for lengthy technical terminology and primarily in conjunction with coordination of Specification requirements with notations on Drawings and in Schedules. These are frequently defined in Section at first instance of use or on a Legend and Symbol Drawing. Trade and industry association names and titles of generally recognized industry standards are frequently abbreviated. Singular words will be interpreted as plural and plural words will be interpreted as singular where applicable and where full context of Contract Documents so indicate. Except as otherwise indicated,graphic symbols and abbreviations used on Drawings and in Specifications are those recognized in construction industry for indicated purposes. Where not otherwise noted symbols and abbreviations are defined by the latest ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook,chapter 34 "Abbreviations and Symbols", ASME and ASPE published standards. 1.12 DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS A.These Specifications are intended to supplement the Drawings and it will not be the province of the Specifications to mention any part of the Work which the Drawings are competent to fully explain in every particular and such omission is not to relieve the Contractor from carrying out portions indicated on the Drawings only.

G.Re-Testing And Failure To Remedy Deficiencies 1.Despite Contractor’s best efforts to ensure systems are problem-free,it is expected that some deficiencies will be found during initial inspection of Pre-functional Checklist,and during initial Functional Testing;such deficiencies are expected to be minimal. 2.It is Contractor’s responsibility to remedy identified deficiencies,both in Pre- functional Checklist and in Functional Testing phases of work,in a timely and thorough manner. 3.It is Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that all deficiencies are corrected prior to requesting a re-inspection or re-test of systems and equipment.Do not request re- inspection or re-test until deficiencies are corrected. a.At his discretion,CxA may agree to re-testing systems or equipment where deficiencies remain which are beyond Contractor’s control to resolve expeditiously. b.Typically such re-testing of incomplete systems and equipment will take place only if remaining deficiencies are minor in scope and nature,and are of such nature that they cannot be resolved in a timely manner (such as those due to difficulties in obtaining parts,or where Owner has requested a change that has delayed work,etc.) 4.CxA will carry out a second re-inspection or re-test of systems and equipment subsequent to receiving Contractor’s request. a.If CxA finds deficiencies identified in initial inspection or test have not been remedied (with exception of un-resolvable deficiencies in 3.b.above),and such remaining deficiencies are significant enough to require additional inspection or re-testing,Contractor will be back-charged for CxA’s expenses, and time at a rate of $150.00 per hour and $100.00 expenses,for a third and any subsequent re-inspections and re-tests.
