NSA heaney bridge rehabilitation at the naval support activity, crane, indiana

The solicitation to accomplish a Firm Fixed Price, Design-Bid Build contract to repair and rehabilitate Bridge 1945, Heaney Memorial Bridge, by correcting known deficiencies and upgrading the existing structure to current standards for safety and design loading. Contractors that want to work as either a prime contractor or subcontractor on this project must be a prequalified contractor with Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). Prime contractors must be prequalified with a prequalification work type code of D(a) Highway or Railroad Bridge Over Water. The project shall comply with all National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) requirements to ensure a finding of “no adverse effect†is maintained with the construction/rehabilitation in coordination with the Indiana State Historic Preservation Office (INSHPO).





The existing structure is a two span, corrugated metal double-barrel culvert structure with mortared fieldstone headwalls spanning First Creek that carries Highway 5 in an east/west direction from the Crane gate to the administrative area of the base. The scope includes widening the shoulders and overall structure by means of a slip lining method with an aluminum liner plate, widening the existing pier and abutments including driven piling and cast-in-place concrete, repairing the masonry headwalls by deconstructing the existing headwalls and building new headwalls using cast-in-place concrete and reusing the existing fieldstone for aesthetic treatment, milling and overlaying the existing roadway, upgrading all guardrail, signage, and markers, regrading erosion losses at the spill slopes, and providing proper drainage features at the four corners of the bridge.

A temporary bypass for traffic has been constructed in advance of the project; therefore, there will be no active traffic on the existing structure during construction. However, maintenance of traffic is still required.
