ITEM 992.1 ALTERATION TO BRIDGE NO. G-12-022 (144) LUMP SUM

The work under this Item shall conform to the relevant provisions of Subsection 995 of the Standard Specifications and the following:

Work included in this item shall consist of constructing bridge elements in accordance with the designs and to the lines and grades shown on the plans, and in accordance with these specifications complete in place including the furnishing and installation of all materials that are part of the structures. The work under this Item shall include all materials, equipment and labor needed to construct the following:

• Preformed joint filler and bonded closed cell joint systems used between concrete elements;

• Cast-in-place concrete buried deck ends, wingwalls, deck slab, and sidewalks and all the steel reinforcement for these items;

• Shear connectors, laminated elastomeric bearings, mechanical reinforcing bar splicers, Type 1 protective screen, and S3-MTL4 metal bridge railing;

• Concrete Protective Coating and Anti-Graffiti Coating.

• Precast Highway Guardrail Transitions;

• Membrane waterproofing for bridge decks, and Damp-proofing

• All items included hereinafter under Basis for Partial Payments.

It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to provide all survey control necessary to assure accurate placement of all excavation and foundations. This responsibility shall further include, but not be limited to; locating of utilities, drainage, curbs, copings and railing. The Contractor shall be responsible for making all measurements of angles, bearings, distances, and elevations from the original transverse line to the places of construction, as shown on the Plans and/or furnished by the Engineer within the limits of project. The Contractor shall make all data and reference points established in the course of the control surveys available to the Engineer for review and use by State survey parties.

The work does not include any items listed separately in the proposal. Payment for materials shown on the Plans as being part of this bridge structure or which may be incidental to its construction and are not specifically included for payment under another Item shall be considered incidental to the work performed under this Item and shall be included in the unit price of the component of which they are a part.

PREFORMED JOINT FILLER & BONDED CLOSED CELL JOINT SYSTEMS

The work to be done under this Item shall include furnishing and installing preformed joint filler at expansion joints between concrete elements and the proposed sidewalk, and bonded closed cell joint system between concrete elements including, but not limited to, highway transition barrier, wingwall joints, and other joints to separate precast or prefabricated elements as specified in the plans.

A00801 - 94

ITEM 992.1 (CONTINUED)

D. Preparation of Closure Pours and Grouted Keyways.

Immediately prior to erecting the PRECAST HIGHWAY GUARDRAIL TRANSITIONS, the closure pours and grouted keyways shall be cleaned at the job site of all dust, dirt, carbonation, laitance, and other potentially detrimental materials which may interfere with the bonding of the closure pour concrete or grout and precast concrete using a high-pressure water blast. Any exposed reinforcing steel in the precast concrete shall be protected from damage during the cleaning of the keyways. Damaged epoxy coating of steel reinforcement shall be repaired, and the reinforcing steel shall be cleaned as directed by the Engineer. The surfaces of the closure pours and grouted keyways shall be wetted so that the surfaces shall have a Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) condition for at least 24 hours prior to the placement of the closure pour concrete.

E. Erection.

The elements shall be placed in the sequence and according to the methods outlined in the Erection Procedure. As the erection proceeds, the Contractor shall constantly monitor the assembly to ensure that the precast concrete bridge element is within proper horizontal and vertical location and tolerances prior to releasing it from the crane and setting the next unit. The Contractor may use shims to maintain proper setting tolerances.

The concrete elements shall be lifted only by the lifting devices, and the utmost care shall be taken to prevent distortion of the elements during handling, transportation or storage.

This approval will be contingent on the Contractor demonstrating by calculations, prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Massachusetts, that the elements will not be damaged by the non- vertical lifting force and by documentation that the capacity of the lifting devices is adequate for the non-vertical lifting force.

After all PRECAST HIGHWAY GUARDRAIL TRANSITIONS have been placed, the actual overall dimensions of the structure both horizontal and vertical, as laid out shall not deviate from the nominal dimensions shown on the plans beyond a tolerance of +0 inches and -1 inches. Once the layout of PRECAST HIGHWAY GUARDRAIL TRANSITIONS has been accepted by the Engineer, the Contractor shall cut all lifting devices off below the surfaces of the elements.

F. Filling of Blockouts for Lifting Devices and Threaded inserts.

If the blockouts in the PRECAST HIGHWAY GUARDRAIL TRANSITIONS where the lifting devices were located will be exposed and visible after assembly is complete, the Contractor shall fill these blockouts with Mortar (M4.04.5).

After the formwork has been removed, all threaded inserts that have been cast into the precast concrete bridge deck for support of the formwork shall be filled with a grout of the same color as that of the precast concrete.

A00801 - 94A

ITEM 992.1 (CONTINUED)

ANTI-GRAFFITI COATING

This work shall consist of applying of marking repellent anti-graffiti protective coating to painted and/or unpainted surfaces of steel, concrete, and/or masonry structures owned by MassDOT that have either been cleaned from graffiti or any other areas determined by the Engineer to be susceptible to be graffitied. The work shall be done to the acceptance of the Engineer.

The limits of such application shall be as directed by the Engineer.

MATERIALS

The protective coating shall be a breathable, clear non-sacrificial urethane or acrylic water-based formulation designed as an anti-graffiti solution. The coating product shall be compatible with the surface/substrate it will be used on as per the manufacturer's data sheet. It shall also be a mixture developed from non-toxic and non-corrosive substances.

The Contractor shall provide the manufacturer’s product literature including surface preparation data, mixing, application, spread rates, storage and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) compliance certification.

Acceptance of the coating compound will be based on the manufacturer’s certification that the material conforms to the requirements of this specification. A list of anti-graffiti coating materials, conforming to the type and nature of application shall be submitted to the Engineer in order to make appropriate selection.

Any product approved by the Engineer shall comply with the volatile organic compound (VOC) requirements of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) regulation 310 CMR 7.25(11), Architectural and Industrial Maintenance (AIM) Coatings. The product selected for anti-graffiti applications shall be consistent with the recommendations of the coating manufacturer.

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

1. The Contractor shall submit the application method, cut sheets of coating equipment, the anti-graffiti compound for the Engineer’s approval.

2. The substrate surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned before applying coating. All dust, dirt, oil, grease, and other substances which might prevent the adhesion of the paint to the substrate shall be removed. This cleaning shall be considered incidental to the work under this Item.
