Purchasing through a cooperative or "interlocal contract" satisfies the requirement of local governments to seek competitive procurement for the purchase of goods or services.' Therefore, you may purchase goods and services from a vendor through BuyBoard without having to conduct your own competitive procurement. If, however, you are procuring construction -related services through a BuyBoard Job Order Contract (JOC) or contract for the installation of equipment or materials (e.g., athletic fields and surfaces, kitchen equipment, HVAC, playground equipment, or modular buildings), you may, as explained In this Advisory, need to procure certain aspects of these services using a separate procurement process outside of the BuyBoard and should consult your procurement officer and/or legal advisor for specific advice. What is BuyBoard's Procurement Process? The BuyBoard uses a competitive procurement process to award contracts to vendors for goods and services that the BuyBoard determines, based on an evaluation of multiple criteria, represents the best value for Its members. How does BuyBoard award a contract to a vendor? As a condition of being awarded a BuyBoard contract a vendor is bound by and must agree to comply with all the terms of the BuyBoard's proposal Invitation (or specifications), the vendor's proposal response, and any additional contract terms negotiated with the BuyBoard member. Among other things, the vendor must honor the pricing submitted In the vendor's proposal. THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR THE GOODS AND SERVICES COVERED BY THE BUYBOARD CONTRACT MAY BE LESS THAN THE AWARDED PRICING, BUT CANNOT BE MORE. Additionally, the vendor must comply with the BuyBoard contract's general terns and conditions, and any additional terms and conditions that apply to the specific BuyBoard contract, as set out In the proposal Invitation. How does a BuyBoard member make purchases through the BuyBoard contract? You utilize the awarded BuyBoard contract by Issuing a signed purchase order through the BuyBoard online application to procure the selected goods or services. Although BuyBoard must receive a copy of the signed purchase order, BuyBoard does not review or approve the purchase order or other supplemental agreement that you obtain — this Is a matter between you and the vendor. If construction -related services are procured through the BuyBoard, additional contracts with professionals and the contractor may be required, depending on the nature and scope of the services. As stated above, you should consult your procurement officer and/or legal advisor for specific advice. Now do I know that my entity has made a purchase through the BuyBoard? BuyBoard must have a copy of the purchase order In order for the purchase to be considered a BuyBoard procurement To ensure that your entity has satisfied state law requirements for competitive procurement, make sure that the BuyBoard has your purchase order. Do not rely on the vendor to submit the purchase order on your behalf; it Is your responsibility to make sure that the-BuyBoard has the signed purchase order. You may log in to www.buftaW,com using your member I.D. and password to view the Purchase Order Status Report to confirm that the purchase order is in the BuyBoard system. What should BuyBoard members consider when using BuyBoard for construction -related purchases? While purchasing goods and services through BuyBoard satisfies your legal requirement to competitively procure a good or service, as a general matter you must keep in mind other legal requirements that may relate to the purchase, especially when using BuyBoard fnr construction -related procurement.

A new building owned by a political subdivision having construction costs exceeding $100,000 or an alteration or addition to an existing building having construction costs exceeding $50,000 must have architectural plans and specifications prepared by an architect."' (An "alteration" or "addition" for purposes of this requirement requires the removal, relocation, or addition of a wall or partition or the alteration or addition of an exit.) o Engineering. If the goods or services procured through the BuyBoard will involve engineering In which the public health, welfare, or safety is Involved, the plans for structural, mechanical, electrical, electronic, fire suppression, geotechnical systems, foundation design, surface water drainage, plumbing and certain roof modifications and associated estimates must be prepared by an engineer, and the engineering construction must be performed under the direct supervision of an engineery The Engineering Practice Act provides two exceptions to this rule — no engineer is required If (1) the project involves mechanical or electrical engineering and will cost $8,000 or less, or (2) the project does not require mechanical or electrical engineering and will cost $20,000 or less" o Independent Testing. If acceptance of a facility by a public entity Involves Independent testing of construction materials engineering -and/or verification testing services, e testing services should be procured under the Professional Services Procurement Act, and may not be procured under a BuyBoard contract. Written Certification. Effective 09/01/2013, a local governmental entity purchasing itrucdon-related goods and services through a cooperative in an amount that exceeds ,000 must designate a person to certify In writing that the project does not require the )aratlon of plans or specifications by an architect or engineer OR that an architect or sneer has prepared the plans or specifications.'A' FORM F-PA69 3 CONST.vALISIS oar PVC00perative Purchasing 12007 Research Boulevard • Austin, Texas 78759-2439 PH: 800-695-2919 - FAX: 800-211-5454 • www.buyboard.com Bonds. You must also consider whether the vendor is required to provide a payment or performance bond. A payment bond is required for contracts that exceed $25,000 to protect subcontractors who supply labor or materials for the project. A performance bond is required for a contract that exceeds $100,000, to protect the local government If a contractor fails to complete the project. "m Without payment and performance bonds, if the contractor falls to pay Its subcontractors or to complete the project, the public entity that entered the contract can be held responsible for payment claims or costs to complete. Construction Contract Even though the procurement of construction or construction -related services may be through the BuyBoard, your construction contract Is between your entity and the contractor. The BuyBoard contract's general terms and conditions, standing alone, are not sufficient to document your entity's specific transaction. THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD USE AN APPROPRIATE FORM OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT JUST AS YOU WOULD DO IF YOU PROCURED CONSTRUCTION SERVICES INDEPENDENTLY, USING COMPETITIVE SEALED PROPOSALS. The contract must contain provisions required by state law Including: performance and payment bonds, requirements for payment of prevailing wages to all construction workers, workers' compensation coverage for all workers and, on projects where contractor employees may have direct contact with students, criminal history record checks. Other provisions which should be considered In the construction contract are retainage, contingency, liquidated damages and dispute resolution, among others. By supplementing the BuyBoard contract with an appropriate form of construction contract, you ensure that your entity's unique Interests are addressed and that your entity can enforce the contract directly. Legal advice. Because of the variety of laws that relate to construction -related purchasing and the potential risk of high exposure, you are well-advised to consult with your entity's legal counsel before procuring construction -related goods and services under any procurement method, including a purchasing cooperative. This Advisory is provided for educational purposes only to facilitate a general understanding of the law.

Its about that time again for us to begin a new pipe busting contract. For The City ha elected to replace water mains using pre -chlorinated pipe bursting. This technique allows less i mpact to City customers by minimizing the time individual waterlines are out -of -service. To date, thE City has completed eight projects which have replaced approximately 108,500 linear feet (L.F.) ol existing water mains.

This information will be used to evaluate the potential cost of labor and labor burden related to change order work. It is intended that this information represent an accurate estimate of the CONTRACTOR's actual labor and labor burden cost components. This information is not intended to establish fixed billing or change order pricing labor rates. However, at the time change orders are priced the submitted cost data for labor rates may be used to price change order work. The accuracy of any such agreed -upon labor cost components used to price change orders will be subject to later audit. Approved change order amounts may be adjusted later to correct the impact of inaccurate labor cost components i the agreed -upon labor cost components are determined to be inaccurate.

Air trapped in the product pipe must be purged before test. C. At the discretion of the City, the test method used may be either a Monitored Make-up Water Test or a Non -monitored Make-up Water Test. Either test shall be performed above ground without fittings prior to pipe bursting. If damage to the product pipe occurs during bursting that requires a fused joint repair, the Authority may require re -test, with or without fittings after bursting. d. Monitored Make-up Water Test shall be comprised of two stages. e. 1. Initial expansion and stabilization stage. The initial test pressure is applied, and the system is allowed to stand without make-up water during a 2 to 3 hour period. During this time, the pipe is allowed to expand and stabilize. 2. Test stage, after the stabilization is complete, the system is pumped back to test pressure and allowed to sit for 2 additional hours. Water is then added until the test pressure is attained. Water added shall not exceed that of Table 6.1. Non -monitored Make-up Water Test shall be comprised of two stages. 1. Initial expansion and stabilization state. The initial test pressure is applied, and the system is allowed to stand without make-up water during a 2 to 3-hour period. During this time the pipe is allowed to expand and stabilize. 2. Test stage. After the stabilization is complete, the system is pumped back to test pressure and then reduced by 10 PSI. The pressure shall remain steady, not falling more than 5% from reduced pressure during a one -hour test period. 3. Total time allotted for test shall not exceed 8 hours. If successful test can not be completed in this period, then the test section must be depressurized and allowed to relax for a minimum of 8 hours before retest. Re -test after repair. Should the Authority require test after repair, refer to Equation 6.2 for Leakage Allowance due to fittings for the Monitored Make-up Water Test. g. I Manifest shall be filled out with all pressure test results. SECTION 03 - PIPE BURSTING OPERATION The pipe bursting operation described within provides guidance on the basic process. It is to be understood that the need to make exceptions or additions to this process are common. These changes are made to accommodate nonstandard conditions. The contractor experience requirements make it reasonable to put the responsibility of devising these exceptions upon the contractor. 03-01 PIT LOCATION AND EXCAVATION a. Burst pit and insertion pit locations shall be placed such that excavations are minimized. This may be accomplished by placing either or both pits at the point of a service connection. b. Burst length shall be 400' (+/-) 50' in length for first 2 bursts. After soil pipe friction is evaluated longer burst runs may be performed. C. All pits shall be shored to ensure worker safety per OSHA or other local regulations. d.

Parking of related employee vehicles, trucks and auxiliary and equipment shall be such that congestion and traffic delays are minimized. f. Utilities intersecting the hose pipe shall be exposed using an excavation technique appropriate for the utility. This Utility Crossing Pit shall exist prior to commencement of bursting. Man entry shoring is not required however appropriate safety precautions should be made. 03-02 BURSTING MACHINE LOCATION AND SHORING Bursting machines of the static pull style require preparation and planning for the bursting pit that they are to operate from. a. Burst pit shall be shored in accordance to 03.01.(c). b. Forward face of the Burst Pit or the surface that the machine bears against while pulling back, shall be shored in workman like manner. This shoring shall maintain perpendicular burst machine alignment to the pipe during pullback. Any loss of perpendicular alignment during pull shall result in stopping of the bursting process and improvement of the forward face shoring. C. Rearward shoring shall be provided to react rod thrust forces during payout. While these forces are substantially lower than pullback forces, shoring must be used to stabilize the bursting machine to maintain perpendicular alignment of the machine during payout. The weight of the machine can not be depended on to react thrust forces. Hose pipe at rear face of pit may only be utilized for rearward shoring if scheduled for replacement. rd e. Pipe face for Cast Iron, Ductile Iron or PVC shall be cut off using a saw or similar device to produce a square face for the bursting machine forward face to bear against. Final separation of cast iron pipe with a wedge may provide a clean face. Host Pipe shall be removed in sufficient length to accommodate burst machine. Burst machine must be positioned to have rod centerline at approximate centerline of host pipe. Rod Box delivery and removal between temporary rod storage location and Burst Pit must be accommodated for with appropriate lifting equipment and techniques. Additionally, movement and or placement of lifting machine must be included in Traffic Control plans. 03-03 ROD PAYOUT OPERATION e. Rod payout is the process of assembling a string of rods and pushing them in a step wise manner from Burst Pit, through the interior of the hose pipe to Insertion Pit. Lifting of rod boxes into or out of the Burst Pit shall be performed per OSHA or other applicable requirements with respect to equipment and method. Threads shall be cleaned of foreign matter before assembly. Counting of Rods during payout, or quantity of rods per box shall be monitored such that the operator is aware of the distance between the burst machine and the lead end of the rod string. Thrust force should be monitored by the operator. Should an unexpected sudden and significant increase in thrust force be experienced, the process shall be halted. The operator or contractor shall review the results of 3.3 (e.1) with the Authority to remedy per 3.3 (e.2) in an attempt to determine if offsets, valves or other features or obstruction exist that may cause the rod string to leave the pipe. Front end of the rod string should be located by distance from the Burst Pit. Location should be painted and compared to as built plans. Appropriate action should be taken to remedy the cause. This action may include an additional pit at the obstruction to determine the cause, and remove or accommodate for the obstruction. The decision may be to continue thrusting if the obstruction is believed to be encrustation. Host pipe in the Insertion Pit shall be cut or broken prior to arrival of the rod string. Sufficient length shall be removed so as to allow the Burst Tooling to enter the host pipe and bend the product within the allowable radius specified by the pipe manufacturer. The second end of the host pipe in the Insertion Pit shall be positioned or worked so as not to damage the product pipe as it travels through the Insertion Pit. g. Workmen shall not enter the Insertion Pit when the rod string is nearing the Pit. A workman shall be in visual or radio contact with the burst machine operator so as to have the payout halted in a position that allows attachment of the Burst tooling. Burst tooling style shall be chosen based on anticipated properties of host pipe and host pipe repairs. 1. Cast Iron or Asbestos Concrete host pipe anticipated to be free of either Ductile Iron repair sections or Dressor Style Couplings may use a simple conical burst head with a single or double longitudinal blade. 2. Ductile Iron, PVC or hose pipe with Ductile Iron repair sections or Dressor Style Couplings require use of a rolling blade cutter (slitter) ahead of the conical expander. 03-04 TOOLING AND ATTACHMENT a. The Product Pipe shall be moved into position for attachment to the rod string. Appropriate traffic or pedestrian control will be exercised along the path of the Product Pipe. b. The lead and second rod shall be painted orange or yellow so as to give notice to the burst machine operator position of the Burst Tooling. C. Attachment of the Burst Tooling to the rod shall be through the use of removable pin joint allowing the tooling to pivot at least 46 degrees to the rod axis. d. Burst head diameter must be a minimum of 15% over size to the outside diameter of the Product Pipe. Actual size is left to the discretion of the contractor. A greater outside diameter allows for reduced pipe friction and increases bursting forces pushed and increases solid pipe placement. e. Attachment of the Product pipe to the Burst Tooling shall be with a swivel that permits rotation to relieve torsional (twist) stress on the Product pipe. f. Burst Head shall slide on the rod string such that the rear of the burst head overlaps the forward end of the Product Pipe to eliminate the chance of damage to the Product Pipe. 03-05 PULLBACK OPERATION a. Prior to commencement of pullback, there will be visual or radio contact between observers stationed adjacent to the Insertion Pit, the Burst Machine operator and a Product Pipe Observer stationed strategically along the length of the product pipe to watch for product pipe entanglement with above ground obstructions. b. The Burst Machine operator will begin the pullback with the OK of the Insertion Pit Observer. Progress will be made at a slow rate until the Observer sees the Burst Tooling has completely entered the Host Pipe. C. Pipe progress will be monitored for the V 20 feet of pullback by the Insertion Pit Observer and the Product Pipe Observer. d. As the Burst Tooling nears any Utility Crossing Pit, an observer in radio or visual contact with the Burst Machine Operator will monitor and control movement of the Burst Tooling past the utility. e. Should the forward shoring upon which the bursting machine bears yield sufficiently to bring the Bursting Machine out of square to the host pipe, the shoring will be reworked according to 3.2 (b). 03-06 TOQLING REMOVAL a. b. Burst Machine Operator shall note rod count and anticipate entry of painted rods into the Burst Pit. As the Pin Joint Connection nears the Burst Machine forward face, the burst is to be halted. Load on the forward face is relieved by reversing the rod direction slightly. The Burst Machine Shore Plate is to be removed, allowing the tooling to enter a cage or the hull of the Burst Machine. The tooling string will be disassembled and removed, in sections if necessary, until the Product Pipe face has been pulled beyond the face of the Burst Pit. The distance past the face of the Burst Pit shall be at the discretion of the contractor anticipating the length required for connection/fusing. SECTION 04 - AFTER PIPE BURSTING Upon completion of the pipe bursting, certain tasks must be followed through in order to complete the overall process. 04-01 PIT CONDITION PRIOR TO TAPS OR JOINING SYSTEM a. Maintaining sanitary conditions within the product pipe after pipe bursting must take high priority. Should any foreign matter, including ground water be allowed to enter the pipe interior, the condition of the pipe is no longer suitable for connection to the system. For this reason connections may not be made in standing water. Such water must be pumped or bailed prior to making the connection or unsealing the pipe. Areas under connections should be excavated below the pipe invert. b. Before joining a surface and before any special surface preparation to accommodate that joining, external surfaces should be clean and dry. Dust may be removed by wiping with clean, lint free cloth. Heavier deposits must be washed from the surface with soap and water and dried with a clean, lint free cloth. C. Incidental exposure of the interior of the pipe to any foreign matter shall require that one of the two following remedies be carried out: 1. Complete chlorination per AWWA specifications for buried pipe. 2. Localized contamination at the end of the pipe may be removed and the contaminated interior surface of the pipe wiped with a solution of 1 to 5% hypochlorite disinfecting solution. 04-02 SERVICE TAPS AND SERVICE LINES a. Service taps shall be of a type approved by the Authority and must meet AWWA C906. Construction of taps shall be per the manufacturer's recommendation. Acceptable choices include: 1. Electro-fusion type and/or mechanical saddles with a minimum working pressure of 100psi 2. Socket Fusion b. Replacement or rehabilitation of service lines, if required, shall be according to contract. Note: HDPE pipe is the preferred material for service line replacements to curb stops. 04-03 POST CHLORINATION The section of main will be super -chlorinated to 300 ppm by inserting a swab at one end. The swab shall travel the entire length of the pipe section. 04-04 SERVICE REINSTATEMENT Prior to connection of the newly installed pipe, the section of pipe shall be fully flushed with the use of a de -chlorination unit and ascorbic acid to neutralize the residual chlorine. Following flush ng, the newly installed section may be connected to the main at both ends and service 04-05 BACKFILL AND SURFACE REINSTATEMENT a. Backfill used to restore pits shall be per applicable sewer and water construction standards applicable in the municipality. b. Lawn restoration shall be per applicable sewer and water construction standards applicable in the municipality. C. Asphalt, concrete, or other roadway surface restoration shall be per applicable sewer and water construction standards applicable in the municipality. 04-06 DO UMENTATION FINALIZATION With n (15) days of completion of the job, all records including manifests, marked up cons ction plans or documents pertinent to describing the system as installed shall be provided to tho City. 02000 PLANS, DETAILS AND NOTES If applicable, insert reference(s) to project plans; details; and notes ject maps attached. 6i }y m 2 a..
