PROPOSED BRIDGE RAIL REPAIR OF VILLAGE BOUEVARD
OVER WOLF CREEK
ABINGDON, VIRGINIA
Answers to Contractors Ques�ons:
1. Q: Are there any alterna�ve methods that are acceptable to prepare the exis�ng concrete other than sandblas�ng? We were wondering if blas�ng would be hard to contain given the proximity to the creek and we thought it might compromise the epoxy coa�ng on the exis�ng rebar. Would a grinder with a wire wheel work for this purpose?
A: Using a grinder with a wire wheel will not be acceptable for cleaning concrete. Contractor must clean concrete by abrasive blas�ng. As stated in the project drawing (sheet 3 – General Notes), the contractor shall submit to the Engineer a detailed plan for containing construc�on related material and preven�ng this material from entering or around Wolf Creek.
2. Q: Underneath the bridge, how far back do we go behind the exis�ng steel or do we at all? I thought I understood the guy from Schwartz and Associates to say he didn’t want to go behind it at all but I wasn’t sure.
A: On the “Concrete Superstructure Surface Repair”, the contractor will not be required to remove exis�ng concrete 1” behind exis�ng reinforcing steel. But on the “Type B Patching” areas on the bridge wing the contractor will be required to remove the exis�ng concrete 1” behind exis�ng reinforcing steel.
3. Q: What is required in terms of tes�ng and inspec�on and who pays for it?
A: Schwartz & Associates will be performing the phase construc�on inspec�on on this project as the Town’s representa�ve. Schwartz and Associates will be making the concrete test cylinders and will test these cylinders in the lab at SAI’s office.
4. Q: Are there any permits required including VDOT LUP?
A: There are no required permits on this project. Contractor must prevent any construc�on materials from entering Wolf Creek. Any needed erosion control items (i.e. silt fence) shall be furnished and installed at the contractor’s expense.
