I-10 TWIN SPANS REPAIR GILL GAUTREAU DOTD BRIDGE MAINTENANCE ENGINEER LOUISIANA TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING CONFERENCE BATON ROUGE, LA - FEBRUARY 13, 2007 Busy Few Weeks Hurricane Katrina: August 29, 2005, third strongest ever making U.S. landfall, made landfall in Louisiana in Plaquemines Parish, near Buras, as a category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph and a minimum central pressure of 920 mb (3rd lowest of a US land-falling hurricane), after crossing Florida as a category 1 • Hurricane Rita: September 24, 2005, the fourth most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded, the most intense tropical cyclone recorded in the Gulf, made landfall on the Louisiana-Texas border as a category 3 hurricane Hurricane Katrina • “the most destructive hurricane to ever strike the U.S.” NOAA • Much work is being done to provide safety from hurricanes to south Louisiana. • A question often asked is why do so many people live here? Why do we live where we do? Louisiana’s Economy is Concentrated in the Southern Region of the State • • • • 73.5 % of state employment Almost 60% of oil and gas employment 77% of construction employment 67% of all manufacturing employment in the state. Every major river must have a port city near where it meets the sea. LA DOTD POPULATED AREA? • Over 65% of the population of Louisiana lives within 50 miles of the coast (over 2 million according to 2000 census) OFF SHORE GAS PIPELINES ARE HEAVILY CONCENTRATED OFF LOUISIANA SHORES AND ARE SERVICED BY THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY.

Project Location Caution to Proposers • The bulk of the work to be done on this project involves relocating or resetting 300+ ton monolithic concrete spans. The success or failure of this project will depend to a large degree on the amount and type of span moving and setting equipment that can be quickly assigned to the project. Your work plan should identify the amount, type and location of equipment that your firm will assign to the project. Key personnel and their resumes should also be identified. • Once bids are opened, the low bidder will be identified. If the low bidder's work plan identifies sufficient equipment and personnel to be assigned to the project, the award will be made to the low bidder. If in the opinion of the LADOTD, the low bidder does not identify sufficient equipment and personnel, that bid will be rejected and the LADOTD will move to the next lowest bidder. This process will continue until an acceptable work plan is identified.

I-10 Twin Spans Detailed Damage Report Hurricane Katrina Damage Assessment I-10 Bridges over Lake Pontchartrain Bridge Nos. 4501700001 & 4501700002 By September 2-4, 2005 Description of Work • As a result of Hurricane Katrina, the LADOTD will need to repair the bridges carrying I-10 over Lake Pontchartrain. The Eastbound Bridge is missing 38 spans and 170 spans have shifted in alignment. The Westbound Bridge is missing 26 spans and 303 spans have shifted alignment. A full bridge inspection report is available in the Appendix. Description of Work • These spans were constructed in 1963 utilizing monolithic 65 ft. span by 43 ft. wide (approximate dimensions) systems weighing approximately 309 tons. The substructures of both bridges require inspection and may require repair or replacement as determined to be necessary. Approach slabs and roadway must be constructed/repaired to return facility to service. Description of Work • The LADOTD wishes to engage a qualified and experienced Engineering & Construction team under a three phase contract to bring the structures back into service on an emergency basis. The contract if awarded will be awarded for Phase 1 only or for Phases 1, 2 and 3 in their entirety. Should all Phases be awarded, one contract will be entered into for Phases 1&2 and a separate contract will be entered into for Phase 3. Description of Phase 1 • Phase 1: Eastbound structure; realign all misaligned (undamaged) spans. Lift all existing undamaged spans off the lake bottom and replace where possible; when not possible to retrieve spans from the lake, remove westbound bridge spans and install into the eastbound bridge. Provide for safe two way traffic through completion of Phase 2. The existing northern crossover structure may be utilized for this Phase. Description of Phase 1 Continued • A new southern roadway crossover structure will be required to be constructed. The LADOTD wishes to engage a qualified and experienced Engineering & Construction team under a three phase contract to bring the structures back into service on an emergency basis. The contract if awarded will be awarded for Phase 1 only or for Phases 1, 2 and 3 in their entirety. Should all Phases be awarded, one contract will be entered into for Phases 1&2 and a separate contract will be entered into for Phase 3. Description of Phase 2 • Westbound structure; realign all remaining misaligned (undamaged) spans. Lift all existing undamaged spans off the lake bottom and replace where possible; when not possible to retrieve spans from the lake, incorporate Acrow bridge panels to provide a safe structure for one-way traffic. Description of Phase 3 • Phase 3 will be to return the Eastbound bridge to one way traffic and an annually renewable contract (up to 3 years after completion of Phase 2) to maintain, repair or replace the Acrow panel bridge system in service on the Westbound structure including removal/salvage of the panels and delivery to a designated storage yard should the structure be taken out of service. Also a part of Phase 3 will be installation and maintenance of all traffic control striping, signing and barricades required to keep both directions open and serviceable for safe traffic flow. Project Information • Existing data for the project is posted on the DOTD address • http://ppms2.dotd.state.la.us/External/01506-0038/acp.html Bidding • Bids will be submitted on the bid tabulation document to be presented to you by noon today. • Please review your entire bid document carefully for all bidding procedures and requirements. I-10 TWIN SPANS REPAIR THE FOLLOWING SLIDES DESCRIBE THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO REOPEN THE TWIN SPANS TO FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC ON A TEMPORARY BASIS. I-10 TWIN SPANS REPAIR Louisiana Approach Louisiana DOTD prepared full bid documents (including all permits) and detailed inspection reports in 9 days and obtained bids from 3 construction firms. I-10 TWIN SPANS REPAIR Louisiana Approach The low bidder was the Louisiana firm Boh Brothers who bid $31million vs. DOTD estimate (using Florida DOT prices from less than 1 year ago) of $53million. The inspections reduced the contractors risk and allowed the lower bid. I-10 TWIN SPANS REPAIR Louisiana Approach Acrow Bridging Florida generously offered to loan us an older design Acrow portable bridging that would only allow one lane of traffic. DOTD opted to purchase all new Acrow bridging to allow four lanes of traffic. The additional cost is expected to be offset by higher capacity, lower maintenance cost, and no cost at the end to return good condition bridge to Florida Project Information Data for the project was posted on the DOTD address shown below (now requires password). http://ppms2.dotd.state.la.us/External/0 15-06-0038/acp.html DOTD feels this information greatly reduced the bidders project risk and resulted in a lower cost job. Total project cost was = $30,964,255.00 (plus ~$4million to return borrowed Acrow bridge to Florida DOT), increased to ~ $36 million with additional ACROW.
