Wohler Road Bridge at Mark West Creek (Replacement)
(HBP), Sonoma County, CA: Principal-in-Charge and Project Manager for design of the replacement structure for the Wohler Road Bridge at Mark West Creek. Special design is required for this site because the roadway and bridge at this location will flood yearly due to the close proximity of the Russian River, and it is not financially feasible for the replacement structure and roadway design to correct this issue. Preliminary design work entailed evaluation of the hydraulic effects of different bridge configurations, such as clear span structures of different lengths vs. two and three span structures with supports outside of the low- flow channel. It was ultimately determined that a three span post tensioned slab structure approximately 160-feet long would minimize impacts to flood waters, and that
supporting the bridge on cast-in-drilled-hole piles would minimize impacts to wildlife. The project is currently under final design.

4. WORK PLAN
WORK PLAN04
City of Santa Rosa | Capital Improvement Project 2021 Bridge Planning Program 9 Work Plan: In this section, we break down specific tasks and subtasks to identify and elaborate on our work plan and the technical procedure required to achieve the City’s project objectives for this contract.
Task 1- Project Management
• Project Definition and Administration; meet with City staff to discuss strategy, budget, schedules, deliverables, and other project specifics during a kick-off meeting.
• Attend bi-weekly virtual coordination meetings with
City staff
• Prepare Project Schedule
Task 2– Bridge Inventory, Inspection and Evaluation of
Structure Assets
Task 2.1 Data Gathering: Identify all bridges and culverts and review and compile existing records for all structures:
• Review prior inspection and maintenance records,
obtained from City.
• Review record drawings, obtained from City and Caltrans. • Review right of way from County GIS.
• Prepare spreadsheet to be used as basis for “2022 Bridge Repair Planning List”.
• Prepare memo for each structure and complete
portions based on existing records. This will include
basic information including location, structure type,
dimensions and location if shown in the records.
Task 2.2 Initial Screening Site Visit including Structural Inspection and Initial Documentation for all structures:
• Photo documentation including elevations and
approaches of each structure where feasible and any
maintenance and condition issues.
• Update and complete portions of the memo for each
structure based on observations. This will include
completing the structure description, dimensions and
other basic information as well as a detailed discussion of the condition of the structure and Bridge Condition
ratings per the Caltrans Bridge Element Inspection
Manual.
• Identify structures that require additional field
investigation or review under Task 1.3 including those
with non-structural issues.
• Identify structures that are inaccessible due to vegetation, locked gates, etc and prepare request for assistance from City.
• Any hazardous conditions that are identified that
warrant urgent attention will be discussed with City staff.
Task 2.3 Additional Field Reviews and Consultation with team members:
• Structures with observed scour will be further evaluated with field reviews or consultation with Avila and
Crawford for preliminary assessment of the severity of
scour and identifying potential mitigation measures.
Existing FEMA and County data, borehole records and
maintenance and inspection reports will be reviewed
by team members as appropriate. Where appropriate,
consultations will be completed using photos and other
records or by field reviews depending on the extent of
scour and complexity of the channel. Hydraulic and
scour analysis, soil testing, etc may be recommended to further evaluate scour potential and mitigation measures and can be completed as a supplemental service once
authorized by the City.
• Consultation with WRA and DJ Powers will be completed where proposed repairs and maintenance may be
within areas regulated by California Department of
Fish and Wildlife and other agencies. This consultation will typically be completed using photos, sketches and
other records as well as review of habitat mapping
and databases. This consultation will identify potential environmental constraints and mitigation, potential
hazardous materials, as well as likely requirements for environmental clearance and permit requirements, and
will help the team to identify recommendations that
minimize environmental impact and cost. No field reviews or surveys are anticipated in the initial consultation but can be provided as a supplemental service if appropriate. • Repairs that impact traffic and sidewalks may include consultation with GHD to consider temporary traffic
and pedestrian handling and staging. GHD will also
review ADA compliance of any proposed changes to
existing conditions including field visits and localized measurements of slopes, widths, etc. In general, while
ADA compliance of existing conditions will not be
evaluated in detail as part of this project, concerns or apparent non-conformance will be noted in the bridge
memos.
• Issues relating to settlement, surface drainage and
grading, slope stability, condition of paving, etc at
the approaches to the bridges will be evaluated in
consultation with GHD and Crawford as appropriate.
This will be limited to conditions immediately adjacent to the structures that are not typical of other areas of the road or trail. For example, if the asphalt immediately
4. WORK PLAN
City of Santa Rosa | Capital Improvement Project 2021 Bridge Planning Program 10 adjacent to a structure is failing while the roadway beyond is in good condition, this will be including in the review. This review will include a visual examination of existing conditions, and material sampling, testing and further survey can be completed as a supplemental
service if appropriate.
• If proposed repairs are either outside of existing right of way or the existing ownership is unclear, Cinquini
& Passarino will assist in reviewing title reports,
agreements, maps and other records. We anticipate
that new scour mitigation measures that extend beyond
the existing footprint of structures may extend beyond
exiting right of way or easements at some structures. We assume the City will provide title reports for our review.
Right of way survey can be completed as a supplemental
service if required.
• Structures that are identified for possible replacement may require consultation with all members of the project team. Replacement concepts typically include a structure type, alignment and foundation locations and are usually developed to span across environmentally sensitive areas and waterways to minimize impacts and stay within
existing right-of-way while considering temporary traffic handling, potential alternative alignments and other
considerations.
Task 3 - Develop Preliminary Recommendations and
Draft 2022 Bridge Repair Planning List
Task 3.1 Develop R ecommendations
• Recommendations for repairs and maintenance will be
developed for each structure based on the field reviews, existing records and consultation with project team
members. The recommendations will be included as
a section or appendix in the memo for each structure,
illustrated with sketches as photos where necessary to
explain the extent of work.
• Recommendations in each memo will include a
discussion of the following:
o Description of the recommended scope of work
o Urgency of implementing recommendations
o Additional studies, analysis, surveys, etc that are
recommended to develop the recommendations
may be required. This work will be proposed to be
completed as supplemental scope to be completed by
the project team.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Biggs Cardosa was selected to provide structural engineering services to Contra Costa County on an on-call Task Order for various projects throughout the County which may include new construction, maintenance and improvements of existing public infrastructure facilities, including, but not limited to: roadways, airports, bridges, and drainage facilities.
Task Order #1 included providing maintenance inspections for the existing pedestrian bridges owned and maintained by the County. Biggs Cardosa previously inspected these bridges in 2016 and prepared reports that included a structure description and condition.
Biggs Cardosa’s scope for this task order was to complete similar inspections and update the reports.
The project consisted of providing maintenance inspections for the seven structures. The first six structures are older single span steel bridges ranging in length from 27 feet to 80 feet. These bridge inspections consisted of a visual examination of accessible portions of the bridge, including structural elements, decking and railings and the approaches to the bridge. These inspections were intended to determine any changes to the general condition of the bridges and update any recommended maintenance or repair work.
The Robert I. Schroder Overcrossing is a larger and more complex structure that was completed in 2010. The bridge includes three distinct structure types:
1. Concrete abutments and wingwalls - these structures are 90 feet and 166 feet long and retain the approaches to the trail.
2. Steel Approach Spans – there are six spans of between 55feet and 70 feet that consist of a steel and concrete composite superstructure supported on concrete columns.
3. Main Steel Arch Span – this 240-feet long structure includes a pair of fabricated steel arches with steel hangers supporting the steel and concrete composite deck.
The Operation and Maintenance Manual for this bridge recommended a Principal Inspection be completed in the year 2015 and an Element-Level Inspection be completed every four years. The inspections that were performed were an Element-Level Inspection and included a visual examination of all structural steel components, including the suspension cables and attachments, decking, railings, deck drains, expansion joints, etc. The County provided a manlift and operator, safety harnesses for our two inspectors, traffic control, permits, etc.

ASSESSMENTS FOR CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES (CAL OES ), COUNTY OF NAPA
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Biggs Cardosa was contracted by the County of Napa under the County’s On-Call contract with Biggs Cardosa to assess the seismic damage to County-maintained culverts, bridges and associated walls caused by the earthquake that occurred on August 24, 2014. Four teams, each consisting of two structural-engineer/field-inspectors, evaluated 188 culverts and 70 bridges over the course of four days. The structures mostly consisted of stone masonry and reinforced concrete construction of culverts, vehicular bridges under 20 feet long and associated retaining walls, wingwalls, and headwalls. Several of the culverts types included corrugated metal and precast pipe construction.
In addition to the structural inspection screening of the County’s structures, Biggs Cardosa performed structural assessment, preliminary engineering and cost estimation to determine the required repairs and the total associated project costs of the 44 structures that had sustained damage from the earthquake. Biggs Cardosa also assisted the County with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) coordination under the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) program including performing preliminary design and follow-up office and field meetings to review our findings and recommendations, and completing the required documentation and forms to program the needed FEMA / Cal EMA emergency funds for each of these 44 structures.
Additional services performed by Biggs Cardosa included assisting the County with preparing Damage Assessment Reports (DAFs) for several bridges longer than 20-feet that were under Caltrans jurisdiction but within the County limits. These DAFs were required by Caltrans for the local agency to document the seismic damage to their structures and determine the required repairs to program under the Highway Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement Program (HBRRP).

6. SCOPE OF SERVICES
SCOPE OF SERVICES06
City of Santa Rosa | Capital Improvement Project 2021 Bridge Planning Program 18 SCOPE OF SERVICES
We have reviewed and understand the scope of work presented in the RFP. This includes creating a Bridge Repair Planning List that identifies each of the 46 structures, and potentially an additional 5 supplemental structures, and lists the scope of recommended repairs and maintenance and the estimated construction cost of implementation. Right of way needs, environmental clearance requirements and permits will also be identified. A priority will be assigned to each recommendation to assist the City with planning and budgeting for future structure maintenance. A brief memo will also be prepared for each structure that will include additional documentation of the condition of the structures and the recommendations.
The recommended repairs and maintenance will be based on field reviews of the structures, as well as review of existing records. The base scope of services is limited to visual inspections of the structures and areas of the channel banks and approaches immediately adjacent to the structures. The project team includes a full team of engineers and consultants who will evaluate all aspects of the existing conditions and assist in developing recommendations. For some structures, recommendations are anticipated to include more detailed surveys, numerical analyses, materials sampling and testing, design development, preparation of plans and a more detailed scope to further evaluate existing conditions and refine recommendations. The scope and cost of these supplementary tasks will be prepared and reviewed with the City and once authorized, will be completed by the project team. The results of these supplemental services will be incorporated into the Bridge Repair Planning List and structure memos.
