Awareness/Approach to ProjectUnderstanding of Scope • D/B/F $80M lump sum 21st Century Vision project to widen 1.6 miles of I-75 to eight lanes • Two step D/B procurement process • CEI support for 140 days • Full FHWA oversight • Widening of four pairs of bridges • Caloosahatchee River (steel main span) • Tidal Creek • Tidal Marsh • Popash Creek

  5. Awareness/Approach to ProjectUnderstanding of Scope • CEI duration 1,220 days • Construction duration 1,050 days • New noise barrier walls at I-75/SR 80 Interchange • Stormwater management facilities • Drainage improvements to SR 78 • Milling and resurfacing of I-75, ramps, median crossover • Structural ITS accommodations • Median barrier system • Utility coordination/relocation

  6. Awareness/Approach to ProjectUnderstanding of Scope CEI role • Assistance during procurement phase • Assist with review of ATCs • Book of promises • Manage D/B design and permitting • Review and acceptance of CPM and schedule of values • ERC and submittal tracking • Review comment clarity • CEI services during construction • Construct the project in accordance with all contract documents and approved permits • Utilize CPPR as needed • Communication • Partnering

  7. Awareness/Approach to ProjectUnique Project Issues Procurement overview • Bridge inspection report recommendations • Designing for vessel collision • Field attachments welding • Lateral bracing • Cross frame connection plates • Bridge drainage

  8. Awareness/Approach to ProjectUnique Project Issues Inspection report items – verify in RFP • Paint entire steel span • Replace fender system • Replace all deck expansion joints • Repair footing delaminations • Replace access ladders/platform

  9. Awareness/Approach to ProjectUnique Project Issues Designing for vessel collision • Barge traffic has decreased • New/larger foundations and piers to distribute vessel impact loads • Increased construction costs Suggest – review with SDO

  10. Awareness/Approach to ProjectUnique Project Issues Field attachments/welding • RFP prohibits field attachments and weldingto bridge girders web/flanges • Eliminates use of cross bracing for loads • Drilling of bolt holes allowed by SDG Suggest – clarify RFP language

  11. Awareness/Approach to ProjectUnique Project Issues Lateral bracing • RFP directs removal of the lateral bracing and connection plates • Current design practice considers bracing unnecessary • Removal may not add value Suggest – revisit RFP with SDO

  12. Awareness/Approach to ProjectUnique Project Issues Cross frame connection plates • Plates are welded to girder web and compression flange • Results in fatigue prone connection where girder flange is in tension • RFP requires new detail to correct Solution – standard detail

  13. Awareness/Approach to ProjectUnique Project Issues Bridge drainage • RFP states, “bridge drainage shall not discharge directly into the Caloosahatchee River” • RFP Q&A, “portion of the bridge can continue to discharge into…” • Widening of SB bridge to high side of superelevated curve Suggest - clarifying RFP intent
