About this file

This document is Exhibit 5 Specifications for the MBM District 3 Joint Replacement Project in Oregon, establishing technical and special provisions governing construction work on five bridge structures. The project involves joint replacement and related work on bridges 07855B, 07855C, 07855D, 16086, and 16086A, including removal of existing joint materials, reconstruction of joint surfaces, installation of various joint seal types, and elastomeric concrete nosing work. The specifications incorporate the 2024 Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction and modify specific sections through detailed special provisions covering mobilization, traffic control, environmental protection, bridge removal, expansion joints, concrete work, joint materials, and structural steel requirements. Traffic control provisions allow single lane closures on Pacific Highway (I-5) during nightly hours (9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., Sunday through Friday) and establish portable changeable message sign requirements displaying bridge work notices at least seven calendar days before lane closures.

The specifications detail concrete requirements including mix design submissions allowing 21 calendar days for engineer review, trial batch testing protocols, and hardened concrete acceptance based on compressive strength testing at 28 days with criteria requiring minimum strength achievement or alternative engineer evaluation for below-specification results. Joint work specifications include estimated quantities for multiple seal types: Bonded Preformed Silicone Seals (196 feet on bridge 07855B), Precompressed Foam Silicone Joint Seals (128 feet each on bridges 07855C and 07855D, 116 feet each on bridges 16086 and 16086A), and corresponding control joints at double the linear footage. Payment terms establish lump sum pricing for mobilization, traffic control, bonded preformed silicone seals, removal of existing joint surfaces, and joint surface reconstruction, with unit pricing for elastomeric concrete nosing material (cubic foot) and construction (square foot). The specifications require manufacturer's technical representatives to be present during work, with strip seal installations requiring on-site presence throughout installation, and mandate hot-dip galvanizing of steel components to AASHTO standards with controlled silicon content verification.

(2) Acceptance ‑ Hardened concrete with an ASTV meeting or exceeding the specified design strength, 'c is accepted for strength. If the ASTV is less than 'c but at least 85 percent of 'c, the Engineer may review the results to determine if the concrete represented by the cylinders is suitable for the intended purpose. Remove concrete that has an ASTV less than 85 percent of 'c unless otherwise authorized, in writing, by the Engineer. If the concrete is removed, the cost of removal, replacement and all related Work is the Contractor's responsibility. If the Engineer determines that the concrete is suitable for the intended purpose, the concrete may be allowed to remain in place, subject to a price adjustment according to 00150.25. If an ASTV falls below 'c, the Contractor may submit a written plan outlining a proposed alternate method of evaluating compressive strength. Submit the plan for review by the Engineer within 3 Days of the test. Provide evidence that a reasonable 'cr (over-design) was maintained and that there is credible evidence (besides low strength) that warrants consideration of this option. The Engineer may allow an alternate method of acceptance if the compressive strength test results are determined to be suspect from definable external factors.
