3 Exhibit A.3 - BCA Technical Proposal
C. BACKGROUND AND PROJECT SUMMARY
(.. Key Project Issues
The Brookhurst Street Bridge over Talbert Channel (Bridge No. 55C0096) is a 5-span precast/presstressed voided slab bridge, with 6 traffic lanes, built in 1958 and widened in 1989.
Magnolia Street Bridge over Huntington Beach Channel (Bridge No. 55C0388) is a 3-span cast-in-place concrete slab bridge, with 4 traffic lanes and built in 1973.
Warner Avenue Bridge over Bolsa
Chica Channel (Bridge No. 55C0417) is
a 3-span precast/presstressed voided
slab bridge, with 4 traffic lanes and built
in 1981.
All three bridges above
exhibit cracking and spalling
in the concrete barriers with
exposed corroded reinforcing. Embankment erosion was found at many of the abutments and exposed abutment piles.
understand the City would like to repair/rehabilitate the existing 3 bridges, to safe and reliable crossings. Per our brief field visit, the Caltrans Bridge Inspection Reports, the condition of the bridge, and year in which the bridge was constructed, repair/rehabilitation projects seem the most practical.
Some of the challenges of the three bridge projects above include:
• The bridges are located within 1000 feet of the ocean and tidal flow in the channel is to be expected. All exposed surfaces show signs of concrete cracking, concrete spalling and corrosion.
Corrosion resistant materials such as stainless steel fence posts and epoxy coated reinforcing steel should be considered for replacement materials. Applying a corrosion inhibitor and sealer to new concrete and existing concrete surfaces should also be considered.
The existing bridge decks have an AC overlay and the deck condition is unknown. Not much information about the bridge deck underside condition is given in the Caltrans Bridge Inspection Reports and Bridge Preventative Maintenance Report. During design we would suggest a complete investigation of the bridge deck, deck underside and bridge supports be done and any concrete cracks/spalls should be repaired as part of the project. Finally, some consideration should be given to replacing the deck AC overlay with a polyester concrete overlay to protect the bridge from ocean spray and add durability. • The bridge sites are located in or adjacent to wetlands and restoration areas. It is critical the repair/rehabilitation project construction is conducted in a matter that has the least impact on the waterway and the surrounding areas. We will develop bridge and construction staging plans that reduce or avoid environmental and permitting impacts.
The Admiralty Drive Bridge over Queens Elizabeth Passage (Bridge No. 55C0282) is a 3-span steel girder bridge, with 2 traffic lanes and built in 1963.
3 The Davenport Drive Bridge over Weatherly Channel (Bridge No. 55C0259) is a 3-span steel girder bridge, with 2 traffic lanes and built in 1965.
The Gilbert Drive Bridge over Shelter Channel (Bridge No. 55C0258) is a 3-span steel girder bridge, with 2 traffic lanes and built in 1963. * : The Humboldt Bridge over Short
Channel (Bridge No. 55C0284) is a 3-
span steel girder bridge, with 2 traffic
lanes and built in 1963.
55(B]
All four bridges above exhibit
cracking and spalling in the
concrete decks and barriers with exposed corroded reinforcing.
Steel girders and bearing devices have extensive corrosion to the point of possible loss of steel material. We understand the City would like to repair/rehabilitate the existing 4 bridges, to safe and reliable crossings. Per our brief field visit, the Caltrans Bridge Inspection Reports, the condition of the bridges, and year in which the bridges were constructed, it is unclear if repair/rehabilitation or bridge replacement project is the most practical. Per the Request for Qualifications, this proposal assumes the above bridges will be rehabilitated.
Some of the challenges of the four bridge projects above include:
• The bridge Application for HBP Funds is looking to clean and paint all steel surfaces. On past projects, a method of underside hanging work area and tenting were used to clean and paint steel surfaces. Boat traffic and high tide waterway flow should be considered when the construction staging and clean/paint plan is being prepared. See the adjacent photo of a clean and paint steel surfaces project. • The bridges above provide the only means of access for residents on Admiralty, Humboldt and Davenport Islands. A detour bridge during construction will require a very large construction area and will likely be very costly. We will develop a repair/rehabilitation solution that keeps the bridge open to traffic without the use of a detour bridge. Reducing the traffic to one lane, both directions and providing a signalized traffic control system during construction is one solution. See the adjacent photo of a single lane traffic :08:7072006* control during a clean and paint steel surfaces project. • As described in the Caltrans Maintenance Reports, the Sufficiency Ratings are between 47.0 and 49.8 with exception of Admiralty Drive Bridge with a Sufficiency Rating of 65.0. Most of the bridges are Structurally Deficient or Functionally Obsolete. Per the HBP guidelines, bridges with Sufficiency Ratings less than 50 are candidates for bridge replacement. During the preliminary design/ type selection phase, we would recommend a life-cycle cost analysis be preformed to evaluate a bridge repair/rehabilitation versus a bridge replacement. Assuming a 75-year design life, a bridge replacement may be the most cost effective solution for some of the above bridge projects. • The above bridges are located over protected waterways and adjacent to residential properties. It is critical that the repair/rehabilitation project construction is conducted in a manner that has the least impact on the waterway and the residential properties. We will develop bridge and construction staging plans that reduce or minimize environmental and permitting impacts.
Utility issues
All utilities affected by the construction will have to be identified and addressed in the design. Based on our preliminary review, utilities include gas, sewer, and water lines that are hung from the existing bridges. Telephone and electric lines are encased in the bridge concrete sidewalks. The design team will work hand-in- hand with the civil consultant to minimize utility impacts and to make sure the civil consultant is well informed of the staging, construction techniques and proposed construction materials and equipment, etc., which will be needed for the project construction. FPGEVOLTAGE
Environmental Issues/ Permitting Issues
The initial step in the environmental review process for transportation projects off the State Highway Syster is completion of a Caltrans Preliminary Environmental Study (PES). The responses to the PES questions in the checklist provides the information required to determine the studies to be performed and the recommended level of CEQA/NEPA documentation (CE/CE, EA/ND, or EIR/EIS). The work described in the attachments to the RFP would take place within existing rights-of-way and no new structures would be constructed. The proposed activities appear to be Preventative Maintenance (PM) which is defined as a strategy of cost effective treatments applied to an existing roadway system and its appurtenances that preserves the system, retards future deterioration, and maintains or improves the functional condition of the system (without substantially increasing structural capacity)." For these reasons, it is likely that the appropriate documentation will be a Categorical Exclusion/Categorical Exemption.
Rehabilitation and repair projects such as this are specifically called out in 23 CFR 771.117(d) as actions that would fall under a Categorical Exclusion (CE) under NEPA. NEPA Categorical Exclusions (CEs) are actions which meet the definition contained in 40 CFR 1508.4, and, based on past experiences; do not involve significant environmental impacts. They are actions which: do not induce significant impacts to planned growth or land use for the area; do not require the relocation of significant numbers of people; do not have a significant impact on any natural, cultural, recreational, historic or other resource; do not involve significant air, noise, or water quality impacts; do not have significant impacts on travel patterns; or do not otherwise, either individually or cumulatively, have any significant environmental effect.
CEQA Categorical Exemptions apply to projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which, therefore, are exempt from the provisions of CEO under Section 21084 of the California Public Resources Code, Class 1 Exemptions consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use. CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (d) specifically identifies projects that restore or rehabilitates deteriorated or damaged structures, facilities, or mechanical equipment to meet current standards of public health and safety as being one of the types of projects that qualify for a Class 1 CE. 5 зек
D. WORK METHODOLOGY
Project Management
The centerpiece of any well-executed project is effective Project Management to understand the needs of the Client, direct the flow of information, define and track tasks, assign the appropriate people to complete the work, and ensure a technically sound, constructible and cost-effective set of construction documents.
Project Kick-Off Meeting: We believe that being proactive and inclusive with all of a project's stakeholders is the key to fostering cooperation and ensuring that various parties are not working at cross-purpose to each other. An important component of our Kick-Off Meeting, is what we call a Relationship Workshop. Every client is different and has different expectations as far as project goals, communication style, etc. For example, what are the most important results you are expecting from this project (minimize traffic disruption? minimize cost? shorten schedule?) In what format would you like to receive updated budgets and schedules? Do you prefer email or telephone communication? Do you like to be copied on all project communication, or just be informed of results? We like to understand our client's preferences and tailor our management plan to meet those expectations.
Progress Meetings: We will schedule progress meetings at the City offices to discuss the status of the project, upcoming efforts, issues and other relevant information. An agenda and invitation will be sent out one week prior to the meeting, including minutes from the previous meeting. At the meeting, two tools that we like to use would be distributed. The first is an Outstanding Issues list. Items on the list are discussed at the meeting, new issues are added and assigned, and tasks completed are noted as "closed". The second tool is a 3-month Look-Ahead Schedule, highlighting upcoming tasks and deliverables.
Monthly Billing and Progress Report: On a monthly basis, we will issue invoices to the City detailing the personnel that has worked on the project, hours worked, subconsultants' work and reimbursable expenses. Accompanying the bill will be a progress report outlining the major items worked on during the billing period.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
The QA/QC program at BCA employs a company-wide approach that establishes and oversees policies, procedures, standards and guidelines aimed at producing a superior level of quality on every project. The result is that, in over 6,000 projects designed by our firm since our Inception, we have not had a single lawsuit! Quality Control is maintained by a parallel two-phase process on each individual project. The first phase consists of a systematic review process during design, where project managers set up a detailed work plan and schedule of the work to be performed and continuously monitor progress of the project. They directly supervise project engineers, who in turn supervise and review the design and drafting staff. Essential elements of the design are reviewed by the project manager, including calculations, drawings, and specifications. The project manager is responsible to the client from initial contact through completion of the entire project.
The second phase of Quality Control is to have an Independent Team (one not involved in the original design) lead a separate effort to provide an in-depth independent review of both the preliminary engineering and the final contract documents.
Adherence to Schedule
BCA is committed to being responsive to the schedule needs of the Client and has developed detailed procedures to ensure that not only final deadlines are met, but every interim submittal is consistently made on schedule. This is achieved by strong project management and the utilization of the following techniques:
• The key to schedule adherence lies in a well-developed plan. The Project Manager takes great care to break down in detail the work anticipated for a project, carefully assigning hour estimates to each task. • For projects that involve concurrent design on several bridge structures, the PM assigns two or more Project Engineers to coordinate the design of one or more structures each. Depending on the complexity of the project, the Project Engineers may break down their tasks further. At every level of responsibility, the person in charge is given a schedule and made fully responsible and accountable for meeting it. 6 BEA
• Care is taken to ensure that the staff assigned to a project are fully qualified to perform the work required of them and that their current workload will not impact their ability to meet their schedule milestones. • The Project Manager keeps a hands-on approach in ensuring that Project Engineers are keeping pace with the original estimate. This is accomplished by daily contact between the Project Manager and the Project Engineers.
• Weekly staff meetings are held to gage the status of the various projects underway in the office and to allow Project Managers to draw additional staff from other design teams in the event that additional manpower is required to meet a scheduled milestone.
Adherence to Budgets
BCA recognizes the importance to the Client of adhering to budgets, and has developed various procedures to ensure that budgets are carefully monitored throughout the project. In this way, any deviation from the original estimate can be quickly corrected by refocusing the attention of the Project Manager to the trouble area. • Before the start of the project, the Project Manager carefully plans the work, breaks down the tasks, and assigns man-hours to the various tasks. We do not rely on industry rule-of-thumb budget determinations, such as a percentage of construction cost. This is especially true of rehabilitation and seismic retrofit projects, where every bridge is different.
• PMs keep daily control of the tasks being performed by all the engineers working on the project. • PMs review on a weekly basis summary sheets issued by our accounting department, which show who worked on what project, how many hours were spent, and the status of the budget. • PMs control the billing for all their projects, which adds another level of control over expenditure.
Scope of Work
We have reviewed and agree to the scope of work presented in the RFP. In this section, we break down specific tasks and phases where we feel it is important to elaborate and identify special challenges that we foresee in all of the bridge repair/ rehabilitation projects.
Phase 0- Project Management
Project Management, Monthly Meetings and Quality Assurance are not specifically discussed here, as they were covered in more detail in the previous sections. All management, administration, billing, coordination, etc. required to complete this project will be provided.
Phase 1- Preliminary Engineering
Task 1.1 - Kickoff Meeting
Project Kickoff Meeting with all stakeholders, as described above.
Task 1.2 - Caltrans Field Review
We will conduct a field review with the City PM to discuss specific access, environmental, traffic, utilities and other pertinent coordination issues. We will prepare the "Field Review Form" (Exhibit 7-B).
Task 1.3 - Local Programs Compliance (OPTIONAL)
Our understanding is that the City will be responsible for the HBP paperwork and compliance with the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) and the HBP requirements. However, we will be available for consultation and to provide assistance, if required, including DBE compliance forms, Request for Authorizations, Right of Way Certification, and project closeout forms.
Task 1.4 - Collect and Review Existing Data
In this task we will review any project material available from the City, including record drawings, maintenance reports, right-of-way information and utility drawings. Also, we will review the City's Master Bridge Preventive Maintenance Plan and submitted HBP applications.
BER
Task 1.5 - Topographical Mapping and Surveying
We will perform topographical surveying correlated with the Califomia Coordinate System (Zone 6) and applicable Orange County Surveyor's vertical datums
Task 1.6 - Inwater and Underwater Inspection
During low tide, we will inspect the underside of the bridge deck, abutment walls, bent beams and columns, and check for exposed piles. We understand Caltrans has preformed underwater inspections but it is unclear if the piles are exposed for many of the project bridges. From the Application for HBRRP Request, there is a concer with marine borer contamination and damage for piles that are exposed.
Task 1.7 - Hydrology & Hydraulic Investigation (NOT INCLUDED) We are assuming these repair/rehabilitation projects can be done without a hydraulic analysis and a scour and degradation analysis. If during the existing pile review the timber piles are found to be exposed and require scour mitigation, we will submit an additional proposal for preparing a Hydraulic Study Report.
Task 1.8 - Concrete Testing (NOT INCLUDED)
We are assuming these repair/rehabilitation projects can be done without performing concrete testing. If during the inspection the bridge deck, abutment walls, and/or bent beams and columns the concrete is found to be degraded, we will submit an additional proposal for coring and testing concrete.
Task 1.9 - Utilities Investigation and Coordination
We will research the existing utilities, coordinate with utility companies and generate utility relocation plans, if needed.
Task 1.10 - Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (OPTIONAL)
We would recommend a lite-cycle cost analysis be preformed to evaluate a bridge repair/rehabilitation versus a bridge replacement. Assuming a 75-year design life, a bridge replacement may be the most cost effective solution for a few of the bridge projects.
Task 1.11 - Prepare 30% Plans
Although we will make a formal 30% submittal to the City at the conclusion of our Preliminary Engineering Phase, all the content of this submittal would have been already discussed with the City, at least in draft form, prior to this point. The 30% submittal will include our 30% Plans (Bridge General Plan and Construction Staging Plans), Cost Estimates, and any relevant supporting documentation.
Phase 2 - Environmental Services
Task 2.1 - Caltrans Environmental Documentation
Prepare Preliminary Environmental Studies (PES) For
A complete and signed PES Form is required for all local agency federal-aid transportation projects "OFF" the State Highway System. The PES Form is proposed to be completed in accordance with the Local Assistance Procedures Manual, particularly Chapter 6 Environmental Procedures (Form is provided as Exhibit 6-A). Instructions for completing the PES For are provided in Exhibit 6-B. Our environmental consultant, UltraSystems, has prepared numerous Caltrans PES Forms for projects of similar scope and size throughout Southern Califomia.
Use of Available Information. Before beginning these investigations, we will obtain and review available documents that address the proposed project or provide general information conceing the project site and its environs. We will identify and review all pertinent studies, note any informational deficiencies, and determine whether any further technical analyses are needed.
Areas of Environmental Concern. We don't expect to find any significant environmental impacts. For the purpose of this proposal, it is assumed that no acquisitions will be necessary as part of this project and all 8 BeF
bridge improvements will be within existing City right-of way. Air Quality and Noise (during construction) are two areas of environmental concem that are not expected to require the preparation of detailed technical studies, but are issues to be considered in responding to the PES checklist questions. The bridge repairs will not increase the use of the facilities after implementation, and the air quality and noise impacts would be the same as if the project was not implemented.
Submittal of Draft PES. We will prepare and submit five copies of a screencheck Draft PES to the City for its review and comments. Two weeks after receipt of comments from the City, we will revise the screencheck Draft PES accordingly and submit 10 copies of the document to the City as the Draft PES.
Task 2.2 - CEQA/NEPA Environmental Documentation
All environmental documentation will be prepared in full compliance with CEQA and NEPA guidelines and procedures. We anticipate that the appropriate CEQA/NEPA documentation for the proposed project will be a CE/CE: Categorical Exemption (CEQA) and Categorical Exclusion (NEPA). However, if it's found that potentially significant and adverse impacts may result from the proposed projects, the CE/CE may not be the appropriate environmental document. This is not anticipated at this time. The CE/CE and supporting studies will be prepared in accordance with City of Huntington Beach, Caltrans, and FHWA requirements and regulations for implementing CEQA and NEPA.
Task 2.2.1 - Air Quality
The project could directly impact air quality in the immediate vicinity of the project site during project construction. UltraSystems will discuss air quality pursuant to the adopted standardized protocol used by the City, and consistent with the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines.
Task 2.2.2 - Noise
UltraSystems will discuss noise from the project site as it affects nearby users, particularly sensitive receptors. Short-term noise-related impacts from project construction will be identified using accepted noise criteria applicable to construction equipment. The IS noise analysis will include discussion of the applicable State and City noise guidelines and policies (including the City's Noise Element and Ordinance.
Task 2.3 - Permitting Approval
We will coordinate with regulatory agencies, and process their respective permit applications. Depending on the nature of the proposed repairs, permits may include:
• California Dept. of Fish & Game 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit
U.S. Coast Guard
Regional Water Quality Control Board
County of Orange
• City of Huntington Beach
Phase 3 - Construction Documents
Task 3.1 - Respond to City's 30% Review Comments
We will respond to the City's review comments and make appropriate revisions for the 60% submittal.
Task 3.2 - Right-of-Way Engineering (NOT INCLUDED)
Our understanding is that all repair/rehabilitation work can be done without right-of-way acquisition. 9 BER
Task 3.3 - 60% PS&E
We will prepare 60% civil and structural plans for the selected repair/rehabilitation, which are essentially complete, but unchecked plans. We will prepare a complete set of structural calculations. We will develop a draft set of specifications based on Caltrans 2006 Standard Specs and Standard Special Provisions (SSPs). We will submit to the City Plans, Specifications and a Cost Estimate.
Task 3.4 - Respond to City's 60% Review Comments
We will respond to the City's review comments and make appropriate revisions for the 90% submittal.
Task 3.5 - Independent Check (Quality Control)
The independent check team will perform a detailed review of the 60% plans and calculations. They will then review the 60% specifications. Comments will be discussed and reconciled with the design team.
Task 3.7 - 90% PS&E
The design team will incorporate appropriate Independent Check comments in its design calculations, plans and specifications. After concurrence with the Independent Check team that all comments were addressed satisfactorily, the design team will update the detailed quantity take off. The Independent Check team will then carefully check the detailed quantity take-off, and differences will be reconciled with the design team. We will submit to the City a final set of Plans, Specifications and Engineer's Estimate.
Task 3.8 - Respond to City's 90% Comments
We will respond to the City's review comments and make appropriate revisions for the 100% submittal.
Task 3.9 - Final 100% PS&E
After addressing all comments, we will issue a bid-ready set of Plans, Specifications and Estimate.
Phase 4 - Bidding Stage
Task 4.1 - Bid Support
We will assist the City during bidding, answering Contractor's questions, pre-bid conference and job walk, issuing addenda, analyze bids, and recommend award.
Phase 5 - Construction Stage (OPTIONAL)
Task 5.1 - Pre-construction Conference (OPTIONAL)
We will participate in a pre-construction conference.
Task 5.2 - Construction Observations (OPTIONAL.)
We will monitor the construction schedule and perform periodic site visits during construction and report on the progress and quality of the work and compliance with the final plans and specification.
Task 5.2 - Response to RFIs (OPTIONAL)
We will respond to Contractor's Requests for Information (RFls) to clarity our drawings and/or intent. We will also issue any required Contract Change Orders (CCOs). Generally, CCOs are required due to differing site conditions or because of Contractor's deviations from the plans during construction and mitigation measures are needed. However, if the CCO is required due to errors or omissions on our plans, it is our policy to produce the required CCO at no cost to our Client.
Task 5.3 - Review Contractor's Submittals (OPTIONAL)
We will review concrete mixes, shop drawings and all Contractor submittals required by the specifications.
Task 5.4 - Produce Record Set of Drawings (OPTIONAL)
At the end of construction, we will generate a Record Set of Drawings incorporating changes to our plans that occurred during construction. We will use information from any Contractor-generated or inspector- generated set of red-marked drawings and information we have collected from RFls during construction. 10 BCA
