REQUEST FOR SEALED BID
1. SCOPE
The purpose of this Bid request is to purchase a prefabricated modular steel bridge (120 foot single span, 16 foot wide, HL 93 Loading) with abutments and guardrail. This structure is intended to be set during future emergent or planned detour situations. Bridge footings shall be precast concrete with an assumed maximum soil bearing pressure of 2,500 psf. It is Lewis County’s intent to deploy this structure at multiple locations requiring flexibility in length. Therefore, the structure shall be designed and manufactured to be deployed as a 45-ft span, 75-ft span or 120-ft span structure. Multiple length options will require a true bolt together splice (no welding) at the 45/75 foot location of the structure. This contract shall include material supply, manufacturing and delivery of the prefabricated modular steel bridge (120-ft single span, 16-ft wide, HL 93 Loading) with five precast concrete footings and guardrail to Lewis County, Washington.
Two sets of plans stamped and certified by a Civil Engineer licensed in the State of Washington shall be provided to Lewis County within fifteen working days of contract award. Plans will include plan and profile views, footing design, assembly, and installation details. Product delivery shall be coordinated with Lewis County and delivered within 120 calendar days after contract award. With verified justification, the delivery date will be adjusted if girder steel components are not readily available due to regional manufacturing limitations.
