Ortonville Bench Leg Repair and Replacement

Ortonville Shooting Range 5380 Sawmill Lake Rd, Ortonville, MI 48462

Background:

The objective of this project is to remove 62 existing block legs under 26 Shooting benches at Ortonville Shooting range and replace them with new steel legs. Legs will be fabricated of square steel tube, the existing tops will be saved and re-utilized. Due to the poor condition of the existing block legs, that are both cracking and chipping, it is in the best interest of the DNR Shooting Ranges to replace the legs now. By replacing at this point, we are removing a potential future safety concern and preventing a potentially more costly and lengthy repair/closure in the future. Currently the existing legs meet the requirements for a worksurface/table for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This standard must be retained with the installation of new legs.

Scope of Work:

1.) Removal of 26 concrete benchtops to be re-used. Currently the tops are mortared to the legs with each top sharing 2 legs at the seams of adjacent benches, they will need to be chipped off, then lifted. We estimate the tops to weigh between approximately 800- 1000 lbs. each. They are stabilized with mesh and rebar throughout.

2.) If any tops are damaged in the process, they will need to be replaced by the contractor, at contractor’s expense and be made to the existing dimensions of the current benches, including having rebar and mesh installed throughout for proper support, and safety.

3.) Removal of 62 existing blocks legs, this includes the proper disposal of all existing leg materials to an offsite location by contractor. Some legs are filled or partially filled block and may require the concrete slab underneath to be leveled or ground down flush to attach future metal legs.

4.) Metal legs will be attached to the existing concrete slab with at least 4 concrete anchors per each leg.

5.) When tops are replaced onto the new legs, they will be drilled and have stainless steel carriage bolts connecting the bench tops to the mounting plates or galvanized based on leg material used to prevent corrosion. PVC/PEX or other tubing materials will be inserted into the drilled hole as a spacer, they may be left slightly longer than benchtop depth to act as a washer, in addition, a soft washer may be used. This is advised to prevent concrete tops from cracking while still allowing adequate torque to secure the tops firmly in place. A lock washer and nut shall be used on the underside of the mounting plates.

6.) The legs must be able to support the shared weight of two tops or up to 2,000lbs of weight.

7.) The benches and legs will be installed in such a way that the tops remain level to each other with no gap between them, with minimal variance from top to top.

Understanding that up to ¼ inch of variance may currently exist and slight differences of this level are acceptable. Seams between benches will be caulked with a weatherproof sealer matching the concrete color.

8.) Currently measuring from the ground or pad to the top of benches gives approximately 31 ½” – 33” allowing for 28 inches of legroom to meet ADA guidelines. This must be maintained.

9.) Leg’s may be made to a universal length or may be made to fit positions based on needed height to maintain a level surface across the bench tops, however they still must conform to the specifications set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

10.) Once work onsite has commenced the contractor must complete the project within 14 days/two weeks.

Installation/leg details

1.) Legs will be made of at least 2.5” X 2.5” X 3/16” square steel tubing, base plates will be welded completely around the exterior of the tube/plate union. Base Plates will be a minimum 3/16” in thickness. Legs will be painted or finished smoothly in an oil based, outdoor rated paint, in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions, Rustoleum or approved equal.

2.) Base plates dimensions for going into the concrete tops shall properly support and allow for adequate overlap of two benches. The top plate will be at least 8” X 10” X 3/16” and the bottom mounting plate will be at least 8” X 8” X 3/16”, contractor may choose to fabricate larger mounting plates to allow for proper support and spacing of carriage bolts from edge of benchtops, and to prevent tops from cracking. Contractor should work with onsite DNR Staff for placement of the legs, if possible, to prevent the location of the bolts from being an obstruction to our patrons’ use.

Disposal/Clean up

1.) The contractor will be responsible for the proper disposal offsite of any materials (new/old) related to the project that the facility does not desire to retain.

2.) The Site of the project including the surrounding area will be cleaned and free from any debris related to the project.

3.) The Site of the project will be restored to as good of condition as found before work commenced or better. If equipment used by the contractor damages any existing sidewalks, slabs, concrete, or fixtures. They will be repaired by the contractor at their expense.

4.) The site of the project will be restored to as good of condition as found before work commenced or better. If equipment creates ruts in grassed or lawn areas, they will be leveled with clean topsoil, and contractors grade grass seed will be planted in those areas, covered by loose straw.
