SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

The work specified in this section includes construction of a two-track railroad bridge and associated approaches, a vehicular bridge, a pedestrian undercrossing, a maintenance road and environmental restoration features along the Guadalupe River between the former UPRR Bridge No. 3 and UPRR Bridge No. 4 in San Jose, California.

In-channel construction is confined to the summer low-precipitation period (April 15 to October 15) because of endangered fish species and water quality requirements. NMFS and CDFG do not permit in-channel construction outside the summer low-precipitation period. The term "In-channel" means the area between the top of the west bank and top of east bank as shown in sheets G-4. Any construction requiring stream dewatering, stream crossing, toe of slope work, or work in the channel bottom may not start until June 1 of any construction season.

All construction materials must be removed from the channel by October 15 of each year. In addition, there are work restrictions for the early weeks of the low-precipitation construction window (April 15 to June 1), and the late weeks of the low-precipitation window (September 1 to October 15).

Bridge #4 (Railroad Bridge) is to be constructed in two phases, with the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR)track remaining in service continuously throughout construction, except as otherwise stated in the specifications.

The first phase will be the construction of the northern half of Bridge #4 along side the existing wooden bridge carrying the active track. The new track alignment over Bridge #4 will be constructed during this phase. A track outage made in accordance with these specification will be used to switch the UPRR tracks over to the permananet alignment on the northern half of Bridge #4. The second phase will be demolition of the existing bridge and construction of the southern half of Bridge #4.

The Work shall be as specified and as shown on the Drawings and includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. Clearing and Grubbing: Clear and grub the limits of excavation for the Project.

2. Demolition: Demolish and dispose of the existing UPRR Bridge No. 4, paved maintenance road, minor concrete structures, fences, and other items as shown on the Drawings.

3. Utilities: Demolish or relocate utilities as shown on the Drawings.

4. Diversion and Care of Water during Construction: Management of water flows including storm water flows, temporary diversion of stream flows and permit requirements.

5. Excavation: In-situ soil-characterization to determine appropriate

01010 - 2 procedures for soil disposal or reuse of soils to be excavated for pedestrian undercrossing, excavation (including temporary shoring), and disposal of excavated soil.

6. Dewatering: Dewater as necessary to excavate and construct pile caps for vehicular bridge, and treat and dispose of water in accordance with Specifications and regulatory requirements.

7. Construction of Vehicular Bridge: Construct reinforced concrete vehicular bridge.

8. Construction of Railroad Bridge: Construct two-track railroad bridge and railroad bridge approach embankments. Placement of ballast, ties, and track will be by others.

9. Roads: Construct and maintain all temporary roads needed to accomplish the Work and permanent roads and walkways.

10. Landscaping and Irrigation: Provide landscaping and construct irrigation facilities.

11. Pedestrain Path: Construct pedestrian path including pavements, retaining walls, railings, electrical components and associated facilities.

12. Maintenance Road: Construct maintenance road including pavements, electrical components and associated facilities.

13. Site Restoration: Perform site restoration in all areas of the Work including restoration of all temporary access and haul roads.

The schedule shall subdivide the Work into component parts in sufficient detail to serve as the basis for progress payments during construction, to coordinate with the Project Schedule required under Section 01320, and to form the basis for possible change orders or field orders. The schedule shall be supported by such data to substantiate its correctness as the Contracting Officer may require. Each item in the Schedule of Values shall include its proper share of overhead and profit. An unbalanced breakdown providing for overpayment on items of the Work which will be performed first will not be approved.
