Re: Augusta Canal Service Bridge
Our File No. 2000-44
Dear Mr. Goins:
As discussed with you in August and as addressed in our letter dated September 24, 2001,
it is our understanding that you wish to increase the load capacity of the Augusta Canal Service
Bridge. In our earlier report, we determined that the bridge could only support 2- Ton axle loads.
We understand that you occasionally move a 60,000 pound vehicle across the bridge which will
require the bridge to be rehabilitated. In order to increase the load capacity to allow for this
increase, it will be necessary to use a concrete deck joined compositely with the existing steel
girders. We propose to design the rehabilitation and furnish the construction documents necessary
to complete the project.
The design will allow for a single vehicle with a 4 ton front axle and two 13 ton rear axles,
but will not be designed in accordance with the AASHTO Standard Specification for Bridge
Construction. We propose to design the concrete deck, shear connectors, joints, curbing and
handrails. Furthermore, we propose to perform an underwater observation of the timber piles
supporting the existing structure to determine the actual condition for this magnitude of capacity
. '.
Increase.
Scope of Work
We propose to completethe requirements for this project in three phases which include the
Design Phase, Bidding and Negotiation Phase, and the Construction Phase. The Design Phase will
include the underwater pile survey and preparing the final construction docwnents consisting of the
final plan's and specifications. ,The plans will be provided in AutoCad Release 2002 format. The
specifications will be provided in MasterSpec format. We propose to provide the final plans on 24
x 36 mylar drawings.
'.
. /'.
Mr. Clifford A. Goins
December 5,2001
Page 2
The Bidding and Negotiation Phase will involve the preparation of bid documents,
responding to contractor inquiries, conducting a pre-bid meeting, providing a final cost estimate,
and selection of the contractor to perform the work. Construction Phase services will involve
providing periodic site observations to. assure that the contractor adheres to the construction
documents, holding a pre-construction meeting, providing responses to contractor questions, and
reviewing the contractors periodic pay estimates.
Engineering Fees and Time of Completion
We propose to complete the structural engineering services for the following lwnp sum fees:
Design Phase
Bidding and Negotiation
Construction Phase
$ 8,700.00
$ 1,800.00
$ 3,200.00
'Grand Total
$ 13,700.00
We propose to complete the design phase within 45 calendar days following receipt of the
purchase order from the City of Augusta. We can begin work on this project immediately upon your
authorization to proceed.
