This is a Project Manual containing contract documents and technical specifications for the I-30 Corridor Water Line project issued by the City of Mount Pleasant, Texas, prepared by KSA (a PAPE-DAWSON company). The project consists of three phases: installation of new 12-inch PVC waterline along Greenhill Road from CR 1314 to CR 1605 and along CR 1605 to FM 1402; installation of new 10-inch waterline along CR 3210 to the I-30 Frontage Road; and installation of new 6-inch waterline within the Silver Creek neighborhood. Sealed bids are due by 10:00 AM on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at the office of Rob Vine, City Manager, 501 N. Madison, Mount Pleasant, TX 75455. Bidding documents are available for free download at www.civcastusa.com, with hard copies available for purchase. Questions must be submitted through the Q&A portal at least 72 hours prior to bid opening. The contract provides for 335 days to substantial completion and 365 days to final completion from the notice to proceed. No pre-bid conference is identified as mandatory, though prospective bidders are encouraged to examine the site during normal working hours. The project is divided into four schedules with unit price bid items including waterline installation (ranging from 6-inch to 12-inch pipe in various materials and installation methods), valve boxes, fire hydrants, surface restoration, and miscellaneous work.

Contract award will be made to the lowest responsive bid from a responsible bidder. Bid security of five percent of the maximum bid price (including all alternates) is required in the form of certified check, bank money order, or bid bond. The contract is structured on a unit price basis with estimated quantities provided; actual payment will be based on quantities constructed and accepted. Progress payments will be made monthly at 95 percent of work completed with five percent retainage until 50 percent completion is achieved, after which no additional retainage applies if work progress remains satisfactory. Upon substantial completion, payment increases to 100 percent less the estimated value of remaining punch list items. Liquidated damages are assessed at $1,500 per day for failure to achieve substantial completion and $1,000 per day for failure to complete remaining work within the specified contract time. The City of Mount Pleasant is exempt from sales and use taxes. The contractor must provide performance and payment bonds and maintain required insurance documentation. The successful bidder must execute the contract within 15 days of receiving the Notice of Award and furnish all required bonds and insurance before commencing work.

ARTICLE 7 – INTERPRETATIONS AND ADDENDA

7.01 All questions about the meaning or intent of the Bidding Documents are to be submitted to Engineer via the Q & A portal on www.civcastusa.com. Interpretations or clarifications considered necessary by the Engineer in response to such questions will be issued by Addenda.

All Addenda issued for this project will only be posted on www.civcastusa.com. Questions received less than 72 hours prior to the opening of Bids may not be answered. Only questions answered by Addenda will be binding. Oral and other interpretations or clarifications will be without legal effect.

7.02 Addenda may be issued to clarify, correct, supplement, or change the Bidding Documents.

ARTICLE 8 – BID SECURITY

8.01 A Bid must be accompanied by Bid security made payable to Owner in an amount of _5%_ percent of Bidder’s maximum Bid price (determined by adding the base bid and all alternates) and in the form of a certified check, bank money order, or a Bid bond (on the form included in the Bidding Documents) issued by a surety meeting the requirements of Paragraphs 6.01 and

6.02 of the General Conditions.

8.02 The Bid security of the apparent Successful Bidder will be retained until Owner awards the contract to such Bidder, and such Bidder has executed the Contract Documents, furnished the required contract security, and met the other conditions of the Notice of Award, whereupon the file:///C:/Users/srogers/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/9B5DYE6P/www.civcastusa.com file:///C:/Users/srogers/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/9B5DYE6P/www.civcastusa.com

Bid security will be released. If the Successful Bidder fails to execute and deliver the Contract Documents and furnish the required contract security within 15 days after the Notice of Award, Owner may consider Bidder to be in default, annul the Notice of Award, and the Bid security of that Bidder will be forfeited. Such forfeiture shall be Owner’s exclusive remedy if Bidder defaults.

8.03 The Bid security of other Bidders that Owner believes to have a reasonable chance of receiving the award may be retained by Owner until the earlier of seven days after the Effective Date of the Contract or 61 days after the Bid opening, whereupon Bid security furnished by such Bidders will be released.

8.04 Bid security of other Bidders that Owner believes do not have a reasonable chance of receiving the award will be released within seven days after the Bid opening.

ARTICLE 9 – CONTRACT TIMES

9.01 The number of days within which, or the dates by which, the Work is to be substantially completed and ready for final payment are set forth in the Agreement.

ARTICLE 10 – LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

10.01 Provisions for liquidated damages, if any, for failure to timely attain a Milestone, Substantial Completion, or completion of the Work in readiness for final payment, are set forth in the Agreement.

ARTICLE 11 – SUBSTITUTE AND “OR-EQUAL” ITEMS

11.01 Except as provided in Paragraph 11.02, the Contract for the Work, as awarded, will be on the basis of materials and equipment specified or described in the Bidding Documents without consideration during the bidding and Contract award process of possible substitute or “or-equal” items. In cases in which the Contract allows the Contractor to request that Engineer authorize the use of a substitute or “or-equal” item of material or equipment, application for such acceptance may not be made to and will not be considered by Engineer until after the Effective Date of the Contract.

11.02 In some cases, the Engineer will specify that substitutes for certain materials and equipment must be approved by Addendum prior to the bid date. The Contract for the Work, as awarded, will then be on the basis of materials and equipment specified or described in the Bidding Documents, and those “or-equal” or substitute or materials and equipment subsequently approved by Engineer prior to the submittal of Bids and identified by Addendum. No item of material or equipment will be considered by Engineer as an “or-equal” or substitute unless written request for approval has been submitted by Bidder and has been received by Engineer at least 10 days prior to the date for receipt of Bids. Each such request shall comply with the requirements of Paragraphs 7.04 and 7.05 of the General Conditions. The burden of proof of the merit of the proposed item is upon Bidder. Engineer’s decision of approval or disapproval of a proposed item will be final. If Engineer approves any such proposed item, such approval will be set forth in an Addendum issued to all prospective Bidders. Bidders shall not rely upon approvals made in any other manner.

11.03 All prices that Bidder sets forth in its Bid shall be based on the presumption that the Contractor will furnish the materials and equipment specified or described in the Bidding Documents, as supplemented by Addenda. Any assumptions regarding the possibility of post-Bid approvals of “or-equal” or substitution requests are made at Bidder’s sole risk.

ARTICLE 12 – SUBCONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS, AND OTHERS

12.01 A Bidder shall be prepared to retain specific Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other individuals or entities for the performance of the Work if required by the Bidding Documents (most commonly in the Specifications) to do so. If a prospective Bidder objects to retaining any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity, and the concern is not relieved by an Addendum, then the prospective Bidder should refrain from submitting a Bid.

12.02 Subsequent to the submittal of the Bid, Owner may not require the Successful Bidder or Contractor to retain any Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity against which Contractor has reasonable objection.

12.03 The apparent Successful Bidder, and any other Bidder so requested, shall within five days after Bid opening, submit to Owner a list of the major Subcontractors or Suppliers proposed for the following portions of the Work.

If requested by Owner, such list shall be accompanied by an experience statement with pertinent information regarding similar projects and other evidence of qualification for each such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity. If Owner or Engineer, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any proposed Subcontractor, Supplier, individual, or entity, Owner may, before the Notice of Award is given, request apparent Successful Bidder to submit an acceptable substitute, in which case apparent Successful Bidder shall submit a substitute, Bidder’s Bid price will be increased (or decreased) by the difference in cost occasioned by such substitution, and Owner may consider such price adjustment in evaluating Bids and making the Contract award.

12.04 If apparent Successful Bidder declines to make any such substitution, Owner may award the Contract to the next lowest Bidder that proposes to use acceptable Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other individuals or entities. Declining to make requested substitutions will constitute grounds for forfeiture of the Bid security of any Bidder. Any Subcontractor, Supplier, individual, or entity so listed and against which Owner or Engineer makes no written objection prior to the giving of the Notice of Award will be deemed acceptable to Owner and Engineer subject to subsequent revocation of such acceptance as provided in Paragraph 7.06 of the General Conditions.

ARTICLE 13 – PREPARATION OF BID

13.01 The Bid Form is included with the Bidding Documents.

A. All blanks on the Bid Form shall be completed in ink and the Bid Form signed in ink.

Erasures or alterations shall be initialed in ink by the person signing the Bid Form. A Bid price shall be indicated for each Bid item, alternate, adjustment unit price item, and unit price item listed therein.

ARTICLE 14 – BASIS OF BID

14.01 The Bid shall be based upon one of the following methods as provided for in the Bid Form.

A. Lump Sum

1. Bidders shall submit a Bid on a lump sum basis as set forth in the Bid Form.

B. Base Bid with Alternates

1. Bidders shall submit a Bid on a lump sum basis for the base Bid and include a separate price for each alternate described in the Bidding Documents and as provided for in the Bid Form. The price for each alternate will be the amount added to or deleted from the base Bid if Owner selects the alternate.

2. In the comparison of Bids, alternates will be applied in the order that best serves the Owner's interests.

C. Sectional Bids

1. Bidders may submit a Bid on any individual section or any combination of sections, as set forth in the Bid Form.

2. Submission of a Bid on any section signifies Bidder’s willingness to enter into a Contract for that section alone at the price offered.

3. If Bidder submits Bids on individual sections and a Bid based on a combination of those sections, such combined Bid need not be the sum of the Bids on the individual sections.

4. Bidders offering a Bid on one or more sections shall be capable of completing the Work covered by those sections within the time period stated in the Agreement.

D. Unit Price

1. Bidders shall submit a Bid on a unit price basis for each item of Work listed in the unit price section of the Bid Form.

2. The “Bid Price” (sometimes referred to as the extended price) for each unit price Bid item will be the product of the “Estimated Quantity” (which Owner or its representative has set forth in the Bid Form) for the item and the corresponding “Bid Unit Price” offered by the Bidder. The total of all unit price Bid items will be the sum of these “Bid Prices”; such total will be used by Owner for Bid comparison purposes. The final quantities and Contract Price will be determined in accordance with Paragraph

13.03 of the General Conditions.

3. Discrepancies between the multiplication of units of Work and unit prices will be resolved in favor of the unit prices. Discrepancies between the indicated sum of any column of figures and the correct sum thereof will be resolved in favor of the correct sum.

VENDOR COMPLIANCE

VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW

The 1985 Session of the Texas State Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to the award of contracts to non-resident bidders. This law provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, non-resident bidders (out-of-state contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of business are outside the State of Texas) bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies or services in Texas at an amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas resident bidder would be required to underbid a non-resident bidder in order to obtain a comparable contract in the state in which the non-resident’s principal place of business is located. The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all out-of-state or non-resident contractors in order for your bid to meet specifications. The failure of out-of-state or non-resident contractors to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the blank in Section B.

A. Non-resident vendors in (insert state), our principal place of business, are required to be percent lower than resident bidders by State law. A copy of the statute is attached.

Non-resident vendors in (insert state), our principal place of business, are not required to underbid resident bidders.

B. Our principal place of business or corporate offices are in the State of Texas.
