WORK LOCATION The subject overpass and roadway approaches are located within the'city limits of Pueblo, Colorado on 24th Street between Tuxedo Blvd. and Cheyenne Ave., crossing the AT &SF railroad. SECTION - 2. SCOPE OF WORK The services provided by this proposal will result in the value analysis of several structural alternatives to the proposed railroad overpass, then, depending on the economic benefits, proceed, when directed, with either B) An independent structural analysis and geometric check of the proposed documents or C) A new design and geometrics for the newly selected system. A. Value Analysis Examine all criteria and requirements of the proposed Project. Determine the initial and life cycle cost savings and identify any unnecessary costs. The viable alternatives will be identified and ranked according to feasibility and cost. Alternatives to be reviewed are as follows: 1. Research the 27 -foot vertical clearance requirement of the railroad. If justified, see if railroad should share costs for added height for electrification. 2. Assess the possibility of using shallower girders over restrictive track. Page 1 3. Assess the use of deeper girders at east end spans, thereby eliminating one pier. 4. Assess moving abutment fills inward toward railroad tracks to shorten structure length. 5. Assess the values of no expansion joint versus one joint near middle of bridge. 6. Evaluate use of other precast girder systems. 7. Evaluate methods by which project can be phased to match funding budget. B. Independent Design Review of Structure, Roadway and Geometry When directed, the Engineer will perform an independent structure analysis of the overpass structure and check the geometrics of the prepared documents. Review the documents for completeness and supply marked up prints which will be drafted by the City. The Engineer will make a back check review of the revised drawings. C. New Project Design If the economics of the value analysis indicate that a change of structure is warranted and when directed, the Engineer will develop a new set of contract documents in conformance with the requirement of the Colorado Department of Highways.
