Pre-stressing Steel:

• Use pre-stressing steel that is bright and free of corrosion, dirt, grease, wax, scale, rust, oil, or other foreign material that may prevent bond between the steel and the concrete.

Do not use pre-stressing steel that has sustained physical damage or is pitted.

• One splice per strand is permitted when single strand jacking is used. When multi-strand jacking is used, splice all the strands or no more than 10 percent of the strands. Use strands having similar properties, from the same source, and having the same “twist” or “lay.” Locate splices outside the casting bed and between members.

• Do not weld or ground welding equipment on forms or other steel in the member after the pre-stressing steel is installed.

• Failure of one wire in a 7-wire pre-stressing strand is acceptable if 85 percent of the required tension load is attained before failure and if the failed strand does not constitute more than 2 percent of the total area of strands in an individual beam or girder.

• Extend bars using couplers which, when assembled, have a tensile strength not less than the tensile strength of the bars.

• Protect all pre-stressing steel against physical damage, rust, or corrosion at all times. Do not use damaged pre-stressing steel.

Tensioning

• Use hydraulic jacks to tension pre-stressing steel. Use a pressure gauge or load cell for measuring jacking force.

• Calibrate measuring devices at least once every 6 months or if they appear to be giving erratic results. Calibrate the jack and gauge as a unit with the cylinder extension in the approximate position that it will be at final jacking force. Keep a certified calibration chart with each gauge.

• If a pressure gauge is used, do not gauge loads less than 1/4 nor more than 3/4 of the total graduated capacity of the gauge, unless calibration data clearly establishes consistent accuracy over a wider range. Use a pressure gauge with an accurate reading dial at least 6 inches in diameter.

• Measure the force induced in the pre-stressing steel using calibrated jacking gauges, load cells, or a calibrated dynamometer. Take elongation measurements of the pre-stressing steel. Determine the required elongation from average load-elongation curves for the pre-stressing tendons used.

• For pre-tensioned members, if there is a discrepancy between the gauge pressure and elongation of more than 5 percent in tendons over 50 feet in length or 7 percent in tendons of 50 feet or less in length determine the source of error before proceeding. Do not allow discrepancies in post-tensioned members to exceed 7 percent.

• If the jacking system is equipped with an automatic release valve that closes when the required pre-stressing force is reached, strand elongation measurements are only required for the first and last tendon tensioned and for at least 10 percent of the remaining tendons.

• If a load cell is used, do not use the lower 10 percent of the manufacturer's rated capacity of the load cell to determine the jacking force.

• Do not exceed a temporary tensile stress of 80 percent of the specified minimum ultimate tensile strength of the pre-stressing steel. Anchor pre-stressing steel at an initial stress

Sol. No. DTFH7016Q00008 Girders for Sol Duc Group Campsite Bridge 8 of 51 that will result in the retention of a working stress after all losses of not less than those required.

• Protect pre-stressing steel placed in the stressing bed from contamination and corrosion if the stressing bed is to be exposed to weather for more than 36 hours before encasement in concrete.

• Free all strands of kinks or twists. Accurately hold pre-stressing steel in position and tension according to Subsection 553.06. Do not allow strands to unwind more than one turn. Keep a record of the jacking force and elongation measurements after the strands are tensioned to 20 percent of final jacking force.

• Tension pre-stressing steel to the required stress. Include in elongation computations strand anchorage slippage, splice slippage, in place horizontal movement of the structural member during pre-stressing operations, and pre-stressing steel temperature changes between the time of tensioning and the time when the concrete takes its initial set. All computations must be prepared by a professional engineer.

• Maintain the pre-stress bed forms, strands, and reinforcement bar temperature within 25 ºF of the temperature of the concrete to be placed in the forms. Support strands with rollers at points of direction change when strands are tensioned in a draped position. Use free-running rollers with minimal friction. Initially, when strands are tensioned and then pulled into the draped position, tension to no more than the required tension minus the increased tension due to forcing the strand to a draped profile. If the load in a draped strand at the dead end, as determined by elongation measurements, is less than 95 percent of the jack load, tension the strand from both ends of the bed. Make the load, as computed from the sum of elongations produced by jacking at both ends, agree within 5 percent of the jack load.

• Within 3 hours before placing concrete, check the tension on the pre-stressing strands.

The method and equipment for checking the loss of pre-stress shall be subject to approval by the CO. If strands are tensioned individually, check each strand for loss of pre-stress.

Re-tension to the original computed jacking stress all strands that show a loss of pre-stress in excess of 3 percent. If strands are tensioned in a group, check the entire group for total loss of pre-stress. Release and re-tension the entire group if the total pre-stress shows a loss in excess of 3 percent or if any individual strand appears significantly different from the rest of the strands in the group.

• Release the pre-stress load to the concrete after the concrete has attained its required release compressive strength. Do not expose the concrete to temperatures below freezing for at least 7 days after casting. Cut or release strands such that lateral eccentricity of the pre-stress force is minimized. Cut pre-stressing steel off flush with the end of the member.

Curing

Make at least 2 release strength test cylinders according to AASHTO T 23 in addition to those required to determine the 28-day compressive strength. Cure the release strength test cylinders with the concrete member they represent.

Sol. No. DTFH7016Q00008 Girders for Sol Duc Group Campsite Bridge 9 of 51

Rough cast the top surface of the slabs against which concrete will be cast. The other portions of the slab top surface is to be finished to a smooth surface free of ridges and other projections.

Cure the slab in a saturated atmosphere of at least 90 percent relative humidity. Cure time may be shortened by heating the outside of impervious forms with radiant heat, convection heat, conducted steam, or hot air.

Apply radiant heat by means of pipes circulating steam, hot oil, hot water, or electric heating elements. Inspect casting beds to ensure uniform heat application. Use a suitable enclosure to contain the heat. Minimize moisture loss by covering all exposed concrete surfaces with plastic sheeting or liquid membrane curing compound. Sandblast curing compound from all surfaces to which concrete will be bonded.

Envelop the entire surface with saturated steam. Completely enclose the casting bed with a suitable type of housing, tightly constructed to prevent the escape of steam and exclude outside air. Use steam at 100 percent relative humidity. Do not apply the steam directly to the concrete.

With all heat curing methods:

(a) Keep all unformed slab surfaces in a saturated atmosphere throughout the curing time.

(b) Embed a thermocouple (linked with a thermometer accurate to ±5 ºF) 6 to 8 inches from the top or bottom of the slab on its centerline and near its midpoint.

(c) Monitor with a recording sensor (accurate to ±5 ºF) arranged and calibrated to continuously record, date, and identify concrete temperature throughout the heating cycle.

(d) Make the temperature record available to the CO.

(e) Heat concrete to no more than 100 ºF during the first 2 hours after placing concrete, and increase the temperature no more than 40 ºF per hour to a maximum of 160 ºF.

(f) Cool concrete, after curing is complete, no more than 40 ºF per hour,until a temperature of 20 ºF above the temperature of the air to which the concrete will be exposed has been reached.

(g) Keep the temperature of the concrete above 60 ºF until the slab reaches release strength.

Cure precast, prestressed members until the concrete has attained the release compressive strength, required by the contract. The average strength of 2 test cylinders shall be greater than the minimum required strength. The individual strength of any one cylinder shall not be more than 5 percent below the required strength.

Finishing

Remove and replace or repair, as approved, all rock pockets or honeycombed concrete. Finish sound, formed concrete surfaces as follows.

Sol. No. DTFH7016Q00008 Girders for Sol Duc Group Campsite Bridge 10 of 51

Class 1 — Ordinary surface finish. Provide this finish to the under surfaces and ends of the slabs.

Begin finishing as soon as the forms are removed. Remove fins and irregular projections from all surfaces that are exposed or will be waterproofed. Remove bulges and offsets with carborundum stones or discs. Remove localized, poorly-bonded rock pockets or honeycombed concrete, and replace with sound concrete or packed mortar in an approved manner.

Clean and point all form tie cavities, holes, broken corners and edges, and other defects.

Saturate the area with water. Finish the area with mortar that is less than 1-hour-old. After the mortar is set, rub it (if required) and continue curing. Match exposed surfaces to surrounding concrete.

If the final finished surface is not true and uniform, rub it according to Class 2 – Rubbed finish below.

Class 2 — Rubbed finish. Provide this finish to all surfaces of slabs except those surfaces designated above to receive a class 1 finish;

Complete a class 1 finish according to above. Saturate the concrete surface with water. Rub the surface with a medium coarse carborundum stone using a small amount of mortar on its face. Use mortar composed of cement and fine sand mixed in the same proportions as the concrete being finished. Continue rubbing until form marks, projections, and irregularities are removed and a uniform surface is obtained. Leave the paste produced by this rubbing in place.

After other work, which could affect the surface, is complete, rub with a fine carborundum stone, and water until the entire surface has a smooth texture and uniform color. After the surface has dried, rub it with burlap to remove loose powder. Leave it free from all unsound patches, paste, powder, and objectionable marks.

(11) Past performance information, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information). 3-5 references are requested.

and

(13) If the quotation is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation.

Quotations that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation, may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of quotations. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender’s request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(d) Late submissions.

(1) Quoters are responsible for submitting quotations so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that quotations are due.

(2) Any quotation received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of quotations is late and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late quotation would not unduly delay the acquisition.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that quotations cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of quotations by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of quotations will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(e) Contract award. The Government intends to evaluate quotations and issue a purchase order based on the initial quotations received. Therefore, the quoter’s initial quotation should contain the quoter’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to request revised quotations from, or negotiate final purchase order terms with, one or more, but not all, quoters if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotations if such action is in the public interest; and issue a purchase order to other than the quoter with the lowest priced quotation.
