4. Existing Conditions:

a. Site Access:

i. Weeks Brook Bridge - The bridge is located approximate 1.7 miles from the intersection of NH Route 127 and Prescott Rd. in Sanbornton. Traveling from NH Route 127 and taking a left onto Prescott Rd, and another left onto Weeks Rd, followed by a slight left onto Shaw Hill Rd, the bridge is then approximately 1.3 miles down Shaw Hill Rd. (See Informational Map 1). Shaw Hill Road continues to a boat launch area named Shaw Cove where access to the Pemigewasset River is made.

b. General Conditions:

i. The Weeks Brook Bridge carries a reservoir access road over Weeks Brook in Sanbornton, NH.

The substructure consists of full height cast-in-place concrete abutments with wing walls on both sides. The clear span face to face of abutments is 17' - 10". The superstructure consists of six (6) S12 x 50 steel beams spaced at 3' - 0" on center and support 3-3/4" x 5-3/4" timber planks on edge. The bridge is skewed approximately 60 degrees.

ii. The railing is supported by 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" tube steel posts which are welded to the web of the exterior fascia beams. The center downstream post has an area where the rail is discontinuous

(this may be a crack in the weld). The posts can deflect horizontally outward due to their configuration which causes torsion of the fascia beams and could cause damage to the beams if the railing were to be struck by a vehicle.

NOTE: For all Informational Photos please reference attached Appendix A. For all Design Plans please reference attached Appendix B.

5. Other Contracts - The Government may undertake or award other contracts for additional work not related to this contract, and the Contractor shall fully cooperate with other contractors and Government employees.
