II. TECHNICAL

1. General:

Bridge History:

The Old Morse Road Bridge carries Old Morse Road over the Quinebaug River at the East Brimfield Lake Reservoir in Holland, Massachusetts. The structure is a three span, continuous, non-composite steel stringer bridge built in 1939.

Each span measures 20'-0" center to center of bent and the total length of the bridge is approximately 62'-0". Old Morse Road ends 200' beyond the bridge. The bridge is closed to vehicular traffic and functions only as a pedestrian bridge and for USACE vehicles only. The roadway width across the bridge is 20'-0" between concrete curbs.

The superstructure consists of six wide flange rolled beams spaced at 4'-2" on center. The four interior stringers are 16WF40 sections and the fascia stringers are 16WF45 sections.

The stringers support a 61/2" reinforced concrete deck, overlaid with 2" of bituminous concrete on a 1" gravel base. The substructure consists of two gravity type concrete abutments with “U” wing walls and two timber pile bents. The two bents consist of six timber piles each with cross bracing and timber caps.

Rating of the bridge is as follows:

Type: H 3 3S2 Inventory: 15 Ton 20 Ton 31 Ton Operating: 27 Ton 35 Ton 54 Ton

Bridge bituminous wearing surface, curbs and parapets, bridge rails, approach guardrails, pile cap hardware existing conditions:

The access bridge is inspected routinely. The last inspection was in 2014.The results of this inspection are as follows.

A. Approach Roadway and Guardrails

Both the east and west approach roadways remain in poor condition. Sections of bituminous pavement are missing at the east approach for the full width of the bridge (see Photo 1). The differential between the approach pavement and the bridge deck is at least 4" at the east approach on the south side. The concrete posts at the guardrails remain in poor condition. There are no cables.

B. Deck

The overall condition of the concrete bridge deck is fair. However, the bituminous wearing surface, curbs and parapets continue to deteriorate. Heavy vegetation is growing at both edges of the bridge deck (see Photo 2). Pavement on either side of the bridge deck is missing, measuring up to 4' wide. There is about 4” of fill/pavement on top of the deck.

The underside of the deck is in good condition with only minor honeycombing along edges of top flanges of stringers. The bridge rails are in fair condition with moderate surface rusting and pitting. The condition of the spalling and efflorescence at the south parapet and curb is severe (see Photo 3). There is a large area of deteriorated concrete at the east end of the parapet/curb. This area is approximately 9'-10' long x 2' high x 2" deep and continues to worsen.

C. Substructure

Minor debris was noted on the bridge seats. There are some missing nuts and washers on the thru bolts at the pile caps.

Note contractor is responsible for final measurements for this contract.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
