• Girdwood RD, Chugach NF

• Date

• Personnel responsible for the work – designed, checked, drafted

• Company name and contact information

Falls Creek

• Falls Creek Bridge

• Iditarod NHT Segment P365, MP X.XX (will be supplied at pre-work meeting)

• Seward RD, Chugach NF

• Date

• Personnel responsible for the work – designed, checked, drafted

• Company name and contact information

D. Engineering Requirements. In addition to Section 964.00.02 from the Standard Specifications for Construction of Trails and Trail Bridges on Forest Service Projects, conform to the following:

1. Design the bridge for a service life of 50 years.

2. Analyze and design for the controlling load. Pedestrian load and snow load will NOT be concurrent.

3. Seismic

• Lower Ingram Creek Latitude: 60° 49’ 12” N Longitude: 149° 08’ 05” W

• Falls Creek Latitude: 60° 26” 01” N Longitude: 149° 20’ 25” W

4. Deflection – Pedestrian live load deflection shall not exceed L/360. Snow load deflection shall not exceed L/240.

5. Once overburden has been removed, anticipated subsurface material is sedimentary and foliated rock, allowable foundation pressure is 4,000 psf. The Contractor is responsible for substructure design and design of the connection of the superstructure to the substructure. Grade beam sills shall be concrete.

6. Provide detailed bridge erection information, including instructions, special tools, and hours for labor skills and equipment, required to construct the substructure and erect the bridge in the field. Provide enough information so that the Forest Service will be able to construct an Independent Government Cost Estimate for future contracts, using hourly rates applicable at a time in the future.

E. General Features of Design. In addition to Section 964.00.03 from the Standard Specifications for Construction of Trails and Trail Bridges on Forest Service Projects, conform to the following:

1. Truss Type – The bridges shall be designed as pony trusses AS SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS. No overhead elements will be allowed.

2. Use nuts and bolts compatible with weathering steel, as described in Standard Specifications for

Construction of Roads and Bridges on Federal Highway Projects FP-14 Section 717.01 (e).

3. Safety Rails – Horizontal safety rails shall be placed on the structure so a 6-inch-diameter sphere cannot pass through the bottom 27 inches of the rail, and an 8-inch-diameter sphere cannot pass through the rail above 27 inches. Height of the top rail shall be AS SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS. The safety rail system shall be designed for 50 pounds per linear foot transversely and vertically, acting simultaneously on each rail.

4. The bridge foundations shall be concrete grade beams as SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS. The Designer may use the Forest Service design, but is required to assure it is compatible with the bridge superstructure design in regards to dimensions, strength, and attachment location and connection detail. Design of two concrete grade beams are included in this contract package. A concrete leveling pad AS SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS will be placed in the field; incorporate the concrete leveling pad in the design calculations, drawings, and installation instructions.

5. Locate bolts so that they are accessible for future hands-on condition inspections with no specialized equipment as much as possible.

6. The running planks shall be designed so that they can be removed and replaced by a trail crew using hand tools that they carried to the bridge site.

7. Design considerations will include remote locations along the Seward Highway and access by foot trail only. Lower Ingram Creek is located 54 miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, and 73 miles north of Seward, which has a deep water port. Falls Creek is 102 miles southwest of Anchorage and 25 miles north of Seward. Each bridge is located approximately one mile along a 3 foot wide foot trail from the Seward Highway.

8. Falls Creek is over a deep gorge with steep banks; temporary supports for construction will not be possible. Lower Ingram Creek is over a stream with flows that can increase substantially during any summer or winter storm; temporary supports for construction are possible within 20 feet of one end of the bridge.

9. The bridge sites are not accessible by road. It is anticipated that the bridges will be delivered to the project sites with a helicopter. Bridge design and installation methods will consider helicopter availability and bundle weights. The bridge sites are at locations where transport of materials across the stream is impractical. Package the bridge components for delivery to each side of the stream, as described in the erection plan.

Helicopter availability in May 2014. Helicopters available in the Big Lake area, north of Anchorage, have a maximum external load lifting capacity of approximately 3600 pounds. Helicopters available in the Anchorage area have a maximum external load lifting capacity up to 2500 pounds. Helicopters available elsewhere in Alaska near the project site, including Girdwood and Homer, have an external load lifting capacity up to 1600 pounds.

F. Material submittals. Submit the following information for materials used in fabrication of the bridge. See Standard Specifications for Construction of Trails and Trail Bridges on Forest Service Projects Sections

963.00.02 and 964.00.07 for further descriptions.

1. Steel Certifications.
