ENGINEER - Centennial Engineering, Inc.

CDOH - Colorado Department of Highways
AT &SF - Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
AASHTO - American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
Proiect Description
The CITY plans to demolish and replace the 18th Street Bridge over the AT &SF
Railroad tracks. The existing bridge, located on West 18th Street between
Hooper Avenue and Atlanta Avenue, carries traffic over the tracks. The bridge
consists of two traffic lanes with two pedestrian walkways. The bridge
provides the primary traffic connection for the residential area known as Hyde
Park on the west with the rest of the city to the east. School children from
Hyde Park also depend upon the bridge pedestrian walkways for access to
school. The CITY transit system uses the bridge for bus service to the
residents of Hyde Park. The existing bridge is approximately 246 feet long,
34 feet wide, with 23 feet of clearance over the highest of the five (5)
railroad tracks. A six inch (0) natural gas line is attached to the north
side of the structure. The geometry of the bridge provides substandard sight
distance and the embankment slopes are overly steep and difficult to maintain.
Page 1 of 5
There is a drainage pipe beneath the east approach which does not drain
properly.
The CITY has received a Grant from the State Gasoline Tax Fund in the amount
of $1,320,960 for replacement of the bridge. The completed structure must
have a sufficiency rating of 80 or greater when completed.
The AT &SF Railroad has expressed interest in the concept of an underpass, with
all of their tracks being elevated to the level of the higher westerly track
(at their expense). They also plan some track layout changes which could
affect pier spacing.
Design Criteria
I. Two lanes, 32 foot minimum driving width.
2. CDOH design standards for curvature, grade, stopping sight distance and
design speed.
3. AASHTO HS20 -44 loading.
4. 6' -0" pedestrian walkways - each side.
5. Concrete traffic barrier between roadway and walkway each side.
6. Provision for existing utilities.
7. Minimum changes in elevation at Atlanta and Hooper Avenues.
8. Standard overhead lighting.
9. Railroad fencing over tracks.
10. Approach slabs.
11. 2:1 fill slopes (if feasible within ROW, otherwise retaining walls or
property acquisition must be evaluated).
12. Minimum sufficiency rating of 80.
13. Standard CDOH Bridge Design Criteria.
Design Services
A. Data Collection and Review - The ENGINEER will assemble pre- design data
from the CITY, utilities, and other agencies as appropriate. This will
include existing bridge information, utility information, existing
Page 2 of 5
right -of -way ownership information, existing mapping, and traffic count
information. This information will be reviewed for completeness and
adequacy and requests for additional information will be made as
appropriate.
B. On -Site Inspection - The ENGINEER will conduct an on -site inspection of
the project area with key team members to become familiar with project
conditions.
C. Pre - Design Conference - The ENGINEER will attend a pre- design conference
with the CITY staff to collect relevant information and to discuss any
questions relating to the scope of work. Contracts will be established
for coordination of the work. The design criteria will be reviewed and
approved.
D. Field Surveys - A survey crew will proceed to the job site to obtain the
necessary field information to begin design work. A project baseline
will be established and referenced with permanent markers for future
construction staking. The existing roadway alignment and profile will be
obtained. A project site topographic survey will be made. Existing
utilities will be located based upon visible surface evidence and
information solicited from the utilities. The information obtained from
the field surveys will be used to prepare a project site plan.
E. Geotechnical Investigation - The site will be investigated using a drill
rig to determine depth and capabilities of the bearing formation. The
work will include the necessary field and laboratory tests to provide
recommendations on foundation type, allowable loadings, and pavement
design. The results of the soils and foundation investigation along with
the recommendations will be summarized in a report. The boring logs will
be shown in the Final Report.
F. Analysis of Alternatives - The following alternative designs will be
analyzed in sufficient detail to allow compilation of comparative cost
estimates and relative advantages and disadvantages:
1. New concrete overpass structure. The existing structure would be
demolished first. Temporary traffic and pedestrian routing across
the AT &SF Railroad yard will be investigated.
Page 3 of 5
2. Same as 1, except analyze steel overpass structure.
3. Same as 1, except demolish only a portion of existing structure
initially. Maintain traffic on one lane with the use of syncronized
signals at bottom of each approach, and maintain pedestrian traffic
on one sidewalk. New structure would be constructed as close as
possible to the existing structure. Upon completion of the new
bridge, traffic would be moved to the new bridge and the remainder of
the existing bridge would be demolished.
4. Same as 3, except analyze steel overpass structure.
5. New underpass, concrete railroad bridge. Traffic would be routed as
in number 1 above.
6. Same as 5, except analyze steel structure.
G. Meetings - In addition to those meetings with CITY Engineering Staff,
AT &SF Railroad Staff, and Utility Companies, to secure the information
necessary to perform the alternative evaluations, the ENGINEER will
attend a night meting with the public to discuss the alternatives to be
examined and to obtain public input, a City Council Work Session to
present the final report and recommendations to the Council, and another
night meeting to present the selected alternative to the public and brief
them upon tentative project schedules.
H. Cost Estimate - Cost estimates for each of the six alternatives will be
prepared. The ENGINEER will contact a reputable bridge contractor and
review the estimate for each alternative with the contractor to verify
cost assumptions. The cost estimates will include life -cycle costing for
each alternative. An estimate of remaining professional fees and other
project costs will be included.
I. Reports - The selected firm will provide two draft reports for review and
comment by the CITY, and five final reports in a neatly bound form.
These reports will include complete descriptions of each alternative,
cost estimates, including life -cycle costing information, drawings
showing preliminary plan, profile, typical cross - sections, drainage
patterns, right -of -way requirements for the various alternatives (several
alternatives may be illustrated on one sheet if practical), copies of all
correspondence from and minutes of meetings held with utility companies,
railroads, State, CITY, contractor, public meetings and others involved
Page 4 of 5
in the project, detour and alternate traffic routing schemes,
construction schedule projections, recommendations, and other information
that the ENGINEER may feel appropriate to include. The ENGINEER will
also provide ten copies of a neatly bound Executive Summary Report
containing a brief description of the need for the project, a discussion
of the deficiencies of the existing bridge, safety considerations,
traffic counts, Special Bridge Fund Program and its participation in the
project, public input, the alternatives examined, pros and cons of each,
cost estimates in tab form, and a recommendation.
J. Items to be Furnished by Others
1. As built plans of existing bridge and approaches (CITY).
2. AT &SF Railroad track maps (AT &SF Railroad).
3. Tax asseso rs maps and subdivision plat maps (CITY).
4. Traffic counts (CITY).
5. Grant request for bridge replacement funds and approval (CITY).
6. Utility maps (CITY and utility companies).
7. Costs for right -of -way and relocations (CITY).
8. Arrangements for public meetings (CITY).
K. Exclusions - The following items are not included in this scope of work:
1. Potholing or excavation to locate underground utilities.
2. Construction plans.
3. Coordination and communication with individual property owners.
4. Environmental assessment and impact studies.
