Historic Preservation Experience GPI is a leader in the preservation of historic bridges. Our experience has included two (2) single span lenticular through trusses as well as several simple through truss structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As a result of the permitting and quality documents, GPI has won several Merit and Recognition awards through the cultural and historic commissions. Our staff has direct experience with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as well as the Section 4(f) process. A recent example is our Canal Street Project in Lawrence that is adjacent to an historic mill district and the Elm Street Bridge project over the Jones River in Kingston.

GPI recently completed the rehabilitation Gurney Road Bridge over Fall Brook, an historic (c. 1822) bridge listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This stone arch bridge, which has many of the same characteristics as the South Street Bridge, was seriously damaged during the spring floods of 2010. The existing arch was saved by re- mortaring all of the stones, and placing a load bearing concrete slab over the arch (see photo, left). Many of the design and construction techniques used in the Gurney Road Bridge can be applied to the South Street Bridge, as described hereinafter.

Innovative Bridge Experience GPI is also involved in innovative bridge design and rehabilitation techniques. We are working with MassDOT to build the first "bridge-in-a-backpack" in Massachusetts. This system is a concrete filled carbon fiber tubular arch bridge developed by the University of Maine. This unique bridge system is comprised of light weight and corrosion resistant construction materials. The benefits are less expensive and quicker construction, and less long-term maintenance costs. GPI is also designing a

bridge using the newly developed prestressed concrete NEXT beam in Kingston. This new beam is intended to replace adjacent box beam bridges with a section that requires less forming and still accommodates utilities. GPI is currently working with MassDOT and Carbon Wrap Solutions, LLC providing inspection and quality control for a carbon fiber wrap retrofit of concrete bridge piers in Hopkinton. The solution is to repair the deteriorated concrete and wrap the columns in corrosion resistant carbon fiber. The carbon fiber strengthens the columns and provides a corrosion barrier to road salts at a fraction of the cost of replacement

Highway Design

Highway design projects can vary in both complexity and scope, ranging from small scale roadway reconstructions and intersection rehabilitation projects to larger multi-lane new highway facility projects that may or may not include simple grade separated interchanges. Although there are a number of design elements common to each of these highway design projects, each type also requires an approach to fit both the scope of work and the anticipated level of detail. The ability to

adjust one's approach to fit the scope of work is what sets GPI apart from other firms. During our working relationships with various municipalities and MassDOT, GPI has shown the ability to adjust to various types of projects and produce a design that is not only of the highest quality, but is also constructible, a characteristic which is sometimes over-looked in design projects.

GPI's designs have met and continue to meet the latest design standards and requirements in effect at the time These include the Massachusetts' 2006 Project Development & Design Guide (PDDG), AASHTO's A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, the Manual on Uniform Traffic and Control Devices (MUTCD) and the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Of no less importance is the compliance of the various design documents to the latest MassDOT's Standard Specifications for Highways and Bridges.

Hydraulics and Hydrology For over 47 years, GPI has been performing hydraulic engineering studies associated with our bridge projects. We have worked with the Office of Dam Safety, MassDOT, DEP, FEMA, and many other agencies to ensure our bridge designs work with the environment A simple solution of making the opening big is not always correct based on potential impacts downstream, as well as reduced impoundments upstream. We have also prepared hydraulic studies to determine depths of scour at our bridge locations. We are well versed in using the suite of HEC programs and have experience to understand when to use engineering judgment related to the program outputs. Although it is not anticipated that a hydraulics study will be required for the South Street Bridge, GPI can provide this service if necessary.

TEC EINI CA] PROPOSAl I GPI Drainage and Stormwater Management GPI's experience includes a variety of projects involving storm drain system design, stormwater management, soil erosion and sediment control, floodplain studies, hydrological studies, design of closed storm drainage systems and feasibility studies for roadway and site development projects with environmental constraints. GPI is proficient with the computer software used for hydrologic analysis such as HydroCAD, TR-55, TR-20 and HYDRAIN as well as those used for hydraulic analysis such as the US Army Corps of Engineers HEC-I Flood Hydrograph Program and HEC-RAS River Analysis System. GPI is well versed with the FHWA methodology for scour analysis as presented in the latest version of HEC- I 8 and HEC-20 as well as the "Massachusetts Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban and Suburban Areas" to minimize erosion and the resulting sedimentation with any of our designs.

Right-of-Way / Survey GPI has prepared Right-of-Way (ROVV) documents for municipalities, private developers and public organizations including MassDOT since our company was established in 1966. Led by several licensed land surveyors, GPI's in-house ROW staff has the extensive experience and qualifications required to research and prepare documents for the acquisition of property interests. As ROW specialists, GPI works closely with appraisers, engineers, attorneys and various agencies to provide support in their appraisals and negotiations and to meet their strict time deadlines for producing quality ROW documents.

MassDOT's ROW and Layout Departments have recognized the quality of work performed by GPI and have routinely issued the ROW and Layout work from other consultants to GPI. MassDOT project managers have also recognized the quality of work and have requested GPI be assigned the ROW work on their projects.

Construction Administration and Monitoring GPI is well established as an industry leader providing roadway and bridge construction engineering and inspection services for a wide array of state, public and private agencies throughout the region. We are very proud and confident of our construction expertise. GPI is committed to continuing this tradition of engineering excellence from the conceptual design to final construction. The GPI inspection teams are presently supervising over $1 billion in construction projects throughout the eastern United States from Maine to Florida. Innovation, quality and diversity are just some of the trademarks of our talented and dedicated Construction Services staff.

Construction Cost Estimating GPI has considerable experience with providing detailed and accurate estimates for our projects. All projects designed for MassDOT require an "Office Calculation Book" that details all items and quantities in conformance with the Standard Specifications and MassDOT's Standard Nomenclature and List of Standard Items. Most municipalities generally request a similar calculation book for their projects. In addition, one of our MassDOT On-Call Contracts is to provide peer review of other

consultant designs at the PS&E level, including a review of the quantity and cost estimate for each project.

One of the more recent challenges in project estimating is to develop accurate unit costs for each item in the estimate. The recent recession has made contractors extremely competitive, which has driven down the actual cost of projects by 20% or more below the engineer's estimated cost Even with the use of the latest on-line MassDOT's Weighted Average Bid Prices, virtually all of the winning bids are well below the engineer's estimate. For local municipalities, this may be a problem, as it temporarily ties up funds that could be used for other projects

At GPI, we not only use the Weighted Average Bid Prices, but we also review the actual bids received on previous projects to develop up-to-date unit costs. This has helped us to better project the low bidder's cost of a project

Bidding Assistance GPI has experience with assisting cities and towns with the public bidding process under Chapter 30, §39M and Chapter 149 of the Massachusetts General Laws. Although each town follows the same process for a public works project, the level of involvement differs with each community. Typically, GPI prepares the final design documents (plans and specifications) along with the Bid Form for submittal to the town's procurement department. However, GPI has also provided full service bid capabilities to various municipalities, including the towns of Freetown and Swansea on their recent bridge projects. Services include:

• Notification of project availability in the Central Register and local newspapers. • Procurement of prevailing wage rates. • Obtaining a list of prequalified bidders from MassDOT, including the preparation of the

Chapter 90 Form along with an Item List and written Scope of Work. • Coordinating contract document disbursement and maintain records of plan holders. • Providing on-going notification of plan holders and contract award with the Central Register. • Coordinating and running the Pre-Bid meeting. • Preparing bid addenda. • Attending the bid opening. • Analyzing the bids and review the contractor's references and pre-qualifications. • Advising the City to the acceptability/qualifications of the bidders. • Preparing the Contract for execution between the City and the qualified low bidder.

Public Involvement GPI stresses upfront and continued community involvement on projects to ensure that investments in transportation infrastructure not only meet the needs of the communities by providing safe accommodations for all users of the public rights-of-way, but also that they consider incorporating the character of the project area, the values of the community, and the needs of all roadway users. GPI understands that the community is better able to identify local and regional problems as well as solutions that may better meet and balance the needs of all stakeholders.

As part of the community participation effort for all our projects, GPI identifies and contacts project constituents at the start of the project to help determine any initial concerns/issues and to solicit

and aesthetics since they

In addition to one-on-one communication with abutters, GPI can also host public meetings, open houses and/or workshops to present alternatives, answer questions and address concerns before advancing to the next design stage. GPI can also provide design options regarding amenities and aesthetics for posting on the town's website for comment and polling purposes. We will maintain an open line of communication with city officials, citizens and neighbors. GPI will meet with town officials as necessary to discuss project issues, potential design alternatives and answer questions. GPI's goal will be to develop a design that works for the abutters and will be supported by town officials and the community.

For any public meeting, GPI can develop visuals for display. GPI develops photo renderings, AutoCAD alternatives and simulation models of proposed design alternatives and features to help attendees visualize the proposed design. GPI is constantly involved in public involvement for our projects. All of our senior staff members have extensive experience presenting in front of the general public, elected officials, as well as permitting boards.

Gurney Road Bridge over Assonet River, Freetown, MA; 2010-2013. Serving as Project Manager, overseeing the completion of the rehabilitation of this National Register. Listed historic bridge that carries Gurney Road over the Assonet River. This single span stone masonry arch was constructed in 1822 and was damaged during the spring floods of 2010. As part of the project, approxi mately 470 feet of Gurney Road will undergo reconstruction to allow for the improvements to the existing arch bridge. The work on the bridge will consist of grouting in between the arch stones as well as grouting between the stones in the spandrel walls. A concrete relieving slab will be constructed over the grouted arch. Steel tube backed timber rail will be provided on both sides of the bridge and mounted on concrete moment slabs for support.

Faunce Corner Road Over 1-95, Dartmouth, MA; 2008-2014. Lead Bridge Engineer. The services to be performed under this con-tract consist of the design and preparation of the final plans, specifications and estimates and furnishing advice during construction in connection with the replacement of the Faunce Corner Road Bridge over 1-195 in the Town of Dartmouth. The proposed bridge is a two span continuous prestressed concrete NEBT structure, with spans of 120 feet each that required the use of 8,000 psi concrete. The geometry of the project is complicated by horizontal roadway curves and variable width lanes, which necessitated a skewed girder alignment under the curved roadway geometry. Using LRFD design loading, this created complications in understanding live load and dead load distributions. The foundations are comprised of traditional abutments and a multiple column pier on spread foot-ings. Due to the structure width of over 115 feet, the bridge will be built in stages with a longitudinal construction joint. The overall project involves signalized intersection, ramp improvements, and roadway widening with an estimated project cost of $20 million. Client: MassDOT

Street Bridge over the Spicket River. The realignment includes the mitigation of substandard horizontal and vertical alignment, installation of traffic signals and a rerouting of the mainline traffic flow to downtown Lawrence from Prospect Street to Canal Street. The new bridge is a 130-foot simple span horizontally curved steel plate girder. The substructure consists of concrete stub type abutments supported on a single line of steel. H-piles located behind mechanically stabilized earth walls. The abutment system and geometry was chosen to avoid imparting surcharge loads into the existing canal walls. Additional project elements consist of gravity, cantilever, and mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls that approach 25 feet in height. The project also includes rehabilitation of a 120 year old stone arch that will be utilized as a pedestrian overlook. GPI is also providing construction phase services. Client MassDOT

Elm Street Bridge, Kingston, MA; 2009-2013. Project Manager. GPI designed the replacement bridge at this location. The work involved the use of the new PCI NEXT beam on precast abutments supported by secant wall foundations. This is one of the first uses of the NEXT beam shape in Massachusetts that was chosen to accelerate construction over an environmentally sensitive waterway. The use of secant wall abutments was chosen to allow for construction with minimal excavation near the waterway, adjacent dam, and historic buildings. The secant walls were designed to accommodate a future removal of the dam without impact to the bridges. A significant number of public meetings were required with local state senators, representatives, town officials, and public to gain consensus on the project. Total project value is $2.1 million.

NJTA OPS P3265, Design Services for Interchange Improvements, GSP Interchange 141 to Interchange 157; Union, Essex, Passaic, and Bergen Counties, NJ; 3/10-Present Team Leader. This on-going safety improvement project included development of four separate construction contracts that included interchanges 141, 145, 150, 153, 154/155 and 157 to provide intersection and interchange improvements, bridge repairs, ramp realignment, traffic signal design, retaining wall construction, and minor roadway widening to address vehicles queuing back onto the Garden State Parkway mainline. As a result, each interchange had to be evalu-ated against the NJDEP criteria fora "Major Development" under the Stormwater Management Regulations. Having exceeded the net impervious threshold, stormwater management facilities design was required at several of the interchanges to provide for water quantity, quality and groundwater recharge control. Soils investigation, testing and evaluation was performed to evaluate permeabil-ity and depth to seasonal high groundwater. Failing soils precluded the use of infiltration based Best Management Practices (BMP). Interchange 154/155 and Interchange 157 were both subject to Flood Hazard Individual Permit and FHA Verification applications as well as Riparian Zone limitations. Prepared highway drainage design and soil erosion control design. Client NJTA.

NJTA/Garden State Parkway OPS P3175 Shoulder Widening MP 83.6 to MP 99.5; 2009-Present. Task Leader for Stormwater Management and Highway Drainage Design on this $250M project. Responsible for developing the Stormwater Management Plan in accordance with Storm Water Management Regulations at a conceptual level and then bringing the concept to the level of detail required to obtain NJDEP Land Use Permits. The Stormwater Management Plan covers 2 Watershed Management Areas (WMA) and 12 separate HUC-14 watersheds. It includes the analysis of 27 separate sub-watersheds and design of approximately 60 stormwater management facilities. Due to the change from a simple crowned section to a super-elevated section, the stormwater man-agement planning was extremely complex. Particular attention was paid to reducing the footprint of disturbance while meeting the standards of the NJDEP Stormwater Management Rule and Flood Hazard Area Control Act. Assisted in the preparation of riparian / tideland applications for GSP crossings over the Manasquan River. Project required implementing stormwater management con-trols for water quantity, quality and groundwater recharge in each of the 27 sub-watersheds. Coordinated the geotechnical program to obtain the required test pits and borings as needed to determine soil suitability for infiltration using permeability test procedures at 70 potential stormwater treatment sites. Working with highway engineers she has identified the area of new impervious surfaces, redeveloped impervious surfaces and total land disturbance each of which determine the size and scope of stormwater BMPs to be implemented within the Project limits. Identified appropriate locations for infiltration/recharge basins, bio-retention basins and ex-tended detention basins as needed to comply with the Water Quality Design storm and Groundwater recharge standards. Identified streams which would be subject to the Special Water Resource Protection Area (SWRPA). Developed the Stormwater Management and Highway Drainage Design report, Low Impact Development Checklist and Operations and Maintenance Manual. Performed required research and prepared a request for a Linear Development 'Waiver from Strict Compliance" from the Stormwater Manage-ment Rules for 1) unavoidable encroachment into the SWRPA, 2) inability to meet the 95% TSS Water Quality criteria within the SWRPA due to poor soils conditions and 3) prepared documentation to support challenging the USDA/NRCS soils survey mapping units (HSG A and B) to be used for Groundwater recharge as being inconsistent with the soils found in the field. The USDA map-ping units produced a theoretical groundwater recharge "deficit' which could not be accommodated on a "site" basis and therefore a waiver would be required. The soils found in the field were found to be highly compacted man-altered soils of HSG D and therefore not capable of groundwater recharge. This deviation from strict compliance with the Groundwater Recharge Standards necessitated a waiver from strict compliance. Responsible for the preparation of H&H analysis for design of highway culvert crossings, documen-tation and reports to support the project's EA and NJDEP Combined Land Use Permit application. Client: NJTA.

Ms. Nover possesses almost 26 years of environmental consulting services providing expertise in federal, state and local environmental permitting earning high level recognition and a highly respected reputation among her clients, regulators and colleagues. Ms. Nover provides Nover-Armstrong's extensive and divergent client base with expertise in all aspects of wetlands and waterways permitting at the local, state and federal levels.

Experience

Ms. Nover has invested her whole career working with the private, public and non-profit sector promoting compliance with federal, state and local environmental regulations while at the same time applying practical and economic solutions. Her approach to all projects is consistent — respect the client, regulator and regulations; produce an excellent, defendable work product; and anticipate the environmental and political issues. Her professional skills besides her education and extensive work experience include keen instincts, ability to produce swift site and project evaluations and provide personal investments in all project outcomes.

Professional Environmental Consulting Review Multiple Municipalities, Massachusetts Ms. Nover has provided expert technical review services to a number of municipalities throughout her career, many of which use her almost exclusively. Most notable is that for the past 10+ years, the Brockton Conservation Commission has awarded her with the contract to provide full technical reviews on all projects submitted to them as well as handling permit completion; public representation; enforcement activities; advocacy; compliance; and construction monitoring. Comprehensive technical reviews for Brockton and the several municipalities in, which she is currently providing consulting review services include stormwater management, wetland resource area identification and boundary delineation evaluation, wildlife habitat assessment evaluations, wetland replication/restoration design proposals, environmental impact assessments and reports, and federal Clean Water Act permit and certification applications. The cities and towns use Ms. Nover because they know that they are getting expert technical assistance and that the results are always reasonable, accurate and defensible.

State & Federal Environmental Permitting Residential Subdivision, Private Client Ms. Nover was instrumental in obtaining permits from the local conservation commission, Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as well as obtaining certification from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs — MEPA Office for a 40-lot residential subdivision on the South Shore. The permitting was particularly notable due to the substantial area of permanent alteration to existing bordering and adjacent vegetated wetland that would result from construction of the subdivision roadway. Ms. Nover designed and obtained permits for the replication of approximately 30,000+ square feet of vegetated wetland and a 10,000 square foot groundwater fed pond on the site and orchestrated the permitting strategy and timeline starting with obtaining an Order of Resource Area Delineation (ORAD) confirming the wetland boundaries on the site Once the ORAD was issued, the remaining permits and authorizations were obtained within six months. The trust and relationships she has built with the local, state, and federal agencies over the past 25 years along with the quality and completeness of the applications was immeasurable in its effect on the process.

Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. (GPI) provided design and construction services for the rehabilitation of the Gurney Road Bridge which was severely damaged during the spring floods of 2010. The bridge, which is listed on the National Register, is a single span stone masonry arch constructed in 1822. GPI coordinated the work with both the Massachusetts and Freetown Historic Commissions, as well as assisted with environmental permitting required for the project.

As part of the project, approximately 470 feet of Gurney Road was reconstructed to raise the approaches to allow for the improvements to the existing arch bridge. The project retained the historic stone masonry arch, as well as the stone abutments and wing walls. The arch stones and spandrel walls were grouted to keep the stones in place, and a concrete relieving slab was constructed over the grouted arch. Steel tube backed timber rail provides vehicular protection on both sides of the bridge. Additional project elements included highway design, right-of-way services, and construction administration and full- time construction inspection.

As part of several on-call assignments with the Massachu-setts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), GPI has been performing bridge inspections and live load ratings on various MassDOT and municipally-owned structures throughout the state to determine their physical condition. The live load rat-ings are computed for the AASHTO defined H20, HS20, Type 3, and Type 3S2 vehicles in accordance with the MassDOT Bridge Manual and the AASHTO Manual for Condition Evalua-tion of Existing Bridges. Typical bridge rating activities include plan and document research, field verification of existing bridge condition and configurations, calculations utilizing the VIRTIS software, report preparation, and development of recommen dations. The range of structures involves simple and continu ous steel beam bridges, steel floorbeam systems, prestressed concrete bridges, reinforced concrete slabs and frames, curved steel box girder bridges, masonry arches, and a bascule bridge. To date, we have been assigned or completed 70 bridge ratings that include the following:

steel girder bridges prestressed concrete beam bridges

• reinforced concrete slabs and beams • reinforced concrete box culvert/frames • curved steel box girders • corrugated metal arches

a bascule bridge • • a stone masonry arch

a granite slab bridge

Typically we have been completing and submitted one rating every two weeks during this project. However, many times we have been completing our bridge ratings ahead of schedule and have been able to assist MassDOT by completing more ratings quicker than they have anticipated.

GPI is providing professional design and consulting to complete a Master Plan for all town-owned bridges with spans under 20 feet. GPI inspected and provided a full NBIS level inspection report on bridges with a span length between 10 and 20 feet, and a preliminary review of all bridges spanning between 5 and 10 feet as well as 5 pedestrian bridges. GPI also provided an overall review of town-owned bridges over 20 feet that are inspected by MassDOT, but where the maintenance responsibility rests with the Town. A report of the inspection findings was prepared, which included a narrative of the inspection findings and provided recommendations for maintenance, repair and/or rehabilitation/replacement.

GPI staff presented the detailed findings and recommendations to Framingham Town staff in order to assist in a prioritization of capital improvements over a 5 year period. The goal of the program is to maintain the existing bridges to prevent excessive deterioration which would lead to a larger, and more expensive, replacement project.

Ground penetrating radar is being used on a particular deteriorated bridge deck to evaluate the existing bridge deck condition and determine the level of corrosion. Abridge patching program will be developed, as well as a joint modification to repair a joint damaged by snow plow operations. The joint modification will involve relocation of the joint from above the bridge bearings to behind the bridge backwall to avoid possible exposure to road salts.



Water Street Bridge Assessment Northampton, Massachusetts

Timeline: 2010-2013

Reference: Edward S. Huntley PE, (413) 587-1570 Director, Department of Public Works

Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. (GPI) is working with the City of Northampton to evaluate scour repair and mitigation options associated with the Water Street Bridge over the Robert Mead-ows Brook. The Water Street Bridge is a reinforced concrete arch bridge that was originally constructed in 1929. Recent Un-derwater Special Member Inspections performed by the Mas-sachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) found that there is scour damage to one abutment and the opposite abutment wall.

GPI performed preliminary site investigations to verify the scour damage reported by MassDOT to the south abutment wall and to the north abutment as well as to understand the cur-rent Brook angle of attack to the substructure to develop repair and mitigation strategies.

Anticipated solutions include temporary stream diversions dur-ing low flow periods to allow for underwater concrete place-ments to support the undermined abutment foundation. Stream stability options being considered include placement of sand/ cement mixture burlap bags and placement of larger natural river bed stones to reduce the reoccurrence of scour events.

Additional project components include stone masonry retaining wall repair, environmental permit consultation, and construction inspection services.

D. PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK

Existing Conditions and Deficiencies South Street (State Numbered Route 96) runs in a north-south direction from Southwest Main Street and Route 16 to the north, to the town of Burrillville, RI to the south. The roadway is classified by MassDOT as an urban minor arterial and is eligible for federal funds under the Surface Transportation Program (STP). The bridge carrying South Street over Tinkerville Brook is a I 5-foot long, single span stone masonry arch that was constructed in 1928. The bridge has four stone masonry wingwalls that are oriented at angles to the roadway. Plans do not exist for this structure, but it is presumed that the bridge is supported on a shallow concrete or stone masonry foundation. A steel guardrail is attached to the top course of the spandrel walls that is not original construction. A layer of gunite was applied to the underside of the arch, which is also not original construction. Tinkerville Brook is a smaller water feature with irregular banks that are dominated by trees and vegetation. The banks generally consist of cobbles and undermined soil.

The September 28, 2011 MassDOT bridge inspection report noted many deficiencies that should be addressed by the town for the safety of the travelling public. The most critical items are the damaged and substandard railing, as well as the undermined and failing southwest wingwall. The railing on the west side is currently dislodged and traffic is protected by a temporary barrier. The portions of the railing that are not dislodged are substandard for vehicular impact. The railing is anchored into the

stone masonry and would provide virtually no resistance if a car or truck was to strike them.

The southwest wingwall has been undermined by the flow of Tinkerville Brook and has settled and moved outward toward the river. A resulting depression has formed in the roadway surface above that has been patched with asphalt.

The remaining three wingwalls are in satisfactory condition with minor erosion of the steam bed at their base. The spandrel walls are missing mortar and chinking stones, as well as showing signs of impact damage from the dislodged guardrail. The spandrel walls are relatively short since the crown of the arch is only about 1 foot below the roadway surface.

The arch is in satisfactory condition, with signs of cracking and efflorescence in the gunite layer. The stones are not visible, however there are no immediate signs of misalignment, dropped stones, or major cracks.

Project Approach Many facets of the South Street Bridge project will be similar to our recent work on the Gurney Road Bridge in the town of Freetown, MA that was completed last year. The Gurney Road Bridge is also a single span stone arch bridge, although of much earlier construction (c. 1822) than the South Street Bridge. The bridge was severely damaged during the spring floods of 2010 to the point that the road was closed to all vehicular traffic.

Even without storm damage, the Gurney Road Bridge was structurally deficient, and lacked safety features. At one time, a simple post and metal rail had been anchored into the stone along the sides of the roadway. However, these had long been removed, and only the unsecured stone prevented errant vehicles from dropping into Fall Brook. The separation between the roadway surface and the top of the stones comprising the arch is similar to the South Street Bridge.

GPI was retained to review and evaluate the damaged bridge, and to develop a design that not only would save the historic bridge, but also bring it up to modern design standards and safety features. In addition to the final design, GPI provided all bidding services, and construction administration and observation for the project.

Fortunately, the South Street Bridge, being of more recent construction, is in far better condition than the Gurney Road Bridge had been. However, many of the same considerations will be applied to the South Street Bridge, both in design and construction.

The bridge safety features will need to be upgraded to meet federal crash requirements. Additionally, the southwest wingwall will need to be reconstructed and future scour prevention features will need to be incorporated. Work may also need to be considered on the other wingwalls to prevent future water damage and separation.

The last bridge inspection report for the South Street Bridge noted that many of the bridge components were rated as "poor" or worse. These components include the railing system (rated as "serious"), the stone arch, the spring lines and a number of other components. The first step in order to recommend and implement a course of action is to calculate a rating of the bridge. This is to determine if the load capacity is adequate or if modifications to the structure will be required to meet current load standards.

GPI TITHNICAL PROPOSAL ■

If the arch load capacity and the roadway width are adequate, we would anticipate the following modifications would be required:

• Concrete moment slabs would need to be placed along both sides of the roadway on top of the stone spandrel wall to accommodate mounting of a crash-tested railing system. The moment slabs would continue parallel with the roadway until there is sufficient ground depth on each end to install traditional guardrail posts. Each of the two moment slabs would be approximately 40 feet long.

• In order to accommodate the concrete moment slabs, the profile of the roadway would need to be raised by approximately six inches (6"). This would require some minor roadway work on either side of the bridge in order to make the grade adjustments.

• The standard bridge railing commonly used by MassDOT is the S3- TL4 railing (right), which also requires costly sections to transition back to standard guardrail. For the South Street Bridge, we would

recommend the use of a steel backed timber guardrail system. This guardrail is crash tested for roads with similar traffic volume and design speeds as South Street. The biggest advantage of this railing is that it can transition between concrete mounted bridge or moment slab posts and driven highway posts without the use of a highway guardrail transition. This railing system was used on the Gurney Road Bridge (left).

• If the roadway width is not adequate, the moment slabs can extend over the sides of the spandrel walls to accommodate slight changes in the roadway width (approximately 2 feet maximum). This overhang can also be used to accommodate required changes in the horizontal alignment if required. The moment slabs used on Gurney Road allowed for that roadway to be widened to 20 feet. The photo on the right shows the moment slabs hanging over the spandrel of the Gurney Road Bridge.

If the arch load capacity is not adequate, we would anticipate the following:

• A concrete relieving slab would be placed over the arch for the full width of the roadway. The function of this slab is to take much of the vehicular loads off of the existing stone arch. The relieving slab would most likely have a minimum thickness of 13 inches and a length of 22 feet along the roadway. The relieving slab would also be used to accommodate mounting of the railing

system over the bridge. Separate moment slabs to accommodate the bridge rail may be required beyond the limits of the relieving slab, but survey is required to determine the extents.

The photograph on the right shows the relieving and moment slabs during the reconstruction of the Gurney Road Bridge. The relieving slab over the arch is shown across the full width of the roadway at the bottom portion of the photo. The moment slabs are on the inside of the formwork on each side, and extend beyond the limits of the relieving slab.

It should be noted that all of the concrete work on the Gurney Road Bridge was cast-in-place. This was due to several factors, including the crest curve of the road over Fall Brook and the fact that the roadway was already closed. In contrast, South Street is an active roadway, and the bridge is located at the bottom of a sag curve. It is possible that the existing profile would allow for use of precast relieving and moment slabs. This would allow for a minimal period of roadway closure (possible only a few days or a long weekend).

• The relieving slab would require the profile to be raised by approximately 20 inches over the bridge. This would require additional roadway work on each side of the bridge to meet the proposed bridge grade, however, there does not appear to be any significant issues in making the grade changes.

Both the moment slabs and the relieving slab can be used to help accommodate either roadway widening or horizontal alignment changes if necessary.

• Use of the steel backed timber guardrail also would be recommended under this scenario.

Construction Phasing and Wingwall Soil Stabilization

A major component of the project that will have a significant impact on cost and schedule is traffic management. While two-way traffic flow might be possible if only moment slabs for the guard rail are needed, the installation of a relieving slab over the arch will require alternating traffic flow on South Street for a minimum of 2 to 4 weeks, 24 hours a day. This would require temporary traffic signals to control the direction of traffic flow. Additionally, reconstruction of the southwest wingwall would require closure of the southbound half of South Street for several weeks. In total, temporary traffic control measures, including traffic signals, concrete barriers, arrow boards and other devices would be needed for a minimum of 3 to 4 months.

Detouring traffic around the site would significantly cut construction costs and time required to construct the improvements. The installation of a precast relieving slab could be accomplished in a matter of days, not weeks. Work on the southwest wingwall would also be expedited as the

contractor would have unrestricted access to this area. It could be possible to shorten the construction schedule by nearly half the time with a detour in place.

Although there is no route with a comparable time and distance of South Street, there are several options for north-south travel, including Hemlock Street and Pine Street/Orange Street to and from Burrillville, RI. Larger vehicles may need to be detoured at Main Street onto Southeast Main Street in order to re-connect with Route 96 via Route 98

Any detouring would require coordination with the town of Burrillville and/or the Rhode Island Department of Transportation. In addition, the town might need to request emergency temporary services from the town of Burrillville for the two residences south of the bridge.

If the detour cannot be accommodated, the construction would require alternating traffic flow under signal control. Given that approximately 3,000 vehicles per day use South Street, undue traffic delays are not expected. If only moment slabs are required, excavation beyond the arch limits would require protective barriers during construction. It is anticipated that the moment slabs will be approximately 6 feet wide. With the current I I -foot (approximate) travel lanes, there will still be 5 feet available for the placement of the protective barrier and the sloped excavation. This will accommodate a single travel lane under alternating flow.

Sj

Should a relieving slab be required, the excavation for the relieving and moment slabs will be minimal, as the grade of South Street will need to be brought up by approximately 18 inches. Construction again would occur on one side of the road, with traffic switching over to the re-built roadway once the first half of the roadway is complete.

Excavation for the removal and reinstallation of the southwest wingwall will be difficult with traffic on South Street for two reasons. The first reason is that there is not enough room for a sloped excavation of the wall if the bridge is to remain open to traffic during construction. The second issue is that both sides of the arch would need to be excavated evenly to avoid differential loading on the arch. Therefore, instead of removing and replacing the wingwall, one alternative could be

• Pressure-inject grout into the area where the arch stones are missing to stabilize the structure. It might also be required to remediate the soil behind the arch to stabilize it where the fines have been washed out.

• Install a "cut-off" wall parallel to the arch abutment on the southwest corner in front of the existing wall. This alignment is better suited to the stream flow pattern. The existing wall can either be abandoned in place or selectively demolished to accommodate the new lower wall location. Survey is required to determine the limits and to finalize the proposed wingwall's geometry.

GPI TN:FINICAL 1'It()1)(),S,k1, ■

Additional construction work that may be considered, depending on the outcome of the Preliminary Structural Report, includes:

• Clean and grout by pressure injection all remaining wingwalls and the arch in order to prevent water infiltration and washing out of the fines behind the walls and arch stones.

• Where stones are missing in the arch, reinforcement and pressure-injected grout may be used to stabilize the structure. Face stones can be installed for aesthetic purposes in front of the repair.

• To alleviate future scouring, riprap may be used to line the channel walls and arch footings.

Scope of Work It is our understanding that at this time, funding of the design and construction of the proposed bridge improvements will be with local and/or Chapter 90 funds. Although some of the damaged to the bridge occurred during Hurricane Irene, it is not eligible for FEMA reimbursement as Route 96 is part of the federal-aid highway system. In those cases, FEMA will not fund construction, as the FHWA has funds available through their Emergency Repair (ER) program.

The bridge is also eligible for federal funding through the state's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Although this process could take several years to complete, the state and federal governments would assume 100% of the construction costs. The town would be required to pay for the design of the project, and provide all documentation as required. Generally, involvement with MassDOT in a TIP- funded project will double the costs of design in comparison with a project that does not involve state or federal transportation funds. MassDOT is also likely to require the cross section over the bridge to be expanded to at least 30 feet in order to accommodate a 4 to 5 foot shoulder for bicyclists (even if the remainder of the corridor does not have shoulders). It is also possible that MassDOT also would require a sidewalk on one side of the bridge. At that point, an entire new bridge structure would be warranted.

The town may want to review the anticipated costs of construction once the preliminary plans and estimate have been prepared. At that time, a determination can be made as to the benefits and drawbacks to this source of funding.

Given the above, the following scope of work and design costs are based on the Request for Proposal (RFP) and construction with local/Chapter 90 funds. In that event, MassDOT's involvement is limited to M.G.L. Chapter 85 review of the bridge plans by the Bridge Section in Boston. No other submissions to MassDOT are anticipated or necessary.

Task I: Project Team Meetings and Communication As outlined in the RFP, GPI will be available to meet with various local and state officials and boards as needed. It is not anticipated that the work will require meeting with the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) Unit, as the project does not appear to trigger any of the MEPA thresholds (unless an appeal of the Order of Conditions is made).

GPI TKFIN1CAL PROPOSAL ■

Task 2: Survey GPI will conduct all necessary topographic survey within the project limits. The limits of work on South Street will be approximately 500 feet in each direction (in the event that the roadway profile will need to be adjusted for the relieving slab). In addition, GPI will survey approximately 50 to 75 feet both upstream and downstream of the arch structure, in addition to all of the features of the stone arch and wingwalls. As part of the survey, GPI will establish horizontal and vertical control, locate all existing surface detail including but not limited to signs, utility poles, hydrants, retaining walls, curbs, driveways, trees and mail boxes. GPI's surveyors will locate the existing edge of pavement and roadway shoulders. It is assumed that underground utilities are not present in the area GPI's survey crew will provide existing ground cross sections at fifty foot intervals as well as at all driveway and critical locations throughout the project limits.

GPI also will conduct research of all available existing assessors' maps, roadway layout information, parcel information, and deed information secured from town and county records.

All survey data acquired will be plotted on a base plan (scale I inch = 20 feet or as suitable for design).

Task 3: Preliminary Design — Project Development GPI will perform all work in conjunction with the preliminary design phase of the project. It should be noted that at this stage, contrary to the RFP, it is not necessary to submit any of the information to MassDOT. MassDOT will only need to review the chosen alternative to the bridge modifications, and does not need to review the Preliminary Structures Report.

A. Survey and Base Map Preparation GPI will perform the survey and prepare a base plan as noted above in Task 2.

B. Subsurface Investigation and Soils Analysis It appears from the proposed approach presented above that a comprehensive subsurface boring program will not be necessary. Our proposal to address the bridge railing and wingwall issues does not require extensive soil information. It is expected that hand augers and shallow soil investigation may be used behind the southwest wingwall, as well as at the toe of the wingwall, to provide sufficient information for design and construction cost estimates.

C. Underwater (Scour) Inspection As it appears that the Tinkerville Brook can be quite shallow during certain periods of the year, a traditional underwater bridge inspection does not appear to be feasible. The underwater inspection items can be accommodated during a site visit by engineers in waders that utilize probes to find voids and undermining.

D. Hydraulic Analysis and Scour Protection Our intention is maintain the existing hydraulic opening and thus a new hydraulic analysis would not be performed. It is preferred to maintain existing hydraulic openings without modification unless repetitive overtopping and failure issues occur. A revised hydraulic opening would create the need for additional analysis of hydraulic openings downstream, as well as an evaluation of flood plain impacts that could lead to the need for modified Flood Insurance Studies and Flood Map Revisions. We do not recommend changing the hydraulic opening at this site.

E. Preliminary Structures Report We would prepare a preliminary structures report that would present our findings of the arch load capacity analysis and preferred options for bridge railing installation, as well as the best method to address the southwest wingwall. The report will include supporting sketches and cost estimates.

F. Preparation of Preliminary Project Cost Estimates We will prepare a detailed construction cost estimate including unit prices and quantities for the work proposed. All unit items will reference the Massachusetts Highway Department's /988 Standard Specifications for Highways and Bridges. Standard Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) average unit bid prices will also be utilized in preparation of the estimate.

G. Early Environmental Coordination Early Environmental Coordination, as defined by MassDOT in their Project Development and Design Guide, is not required on non-TIP projects. The environmental work required on the project is described more fully hereinafter in Task 5.

Task 4: Development and Submission of 25% Design Plans Because the project does not require MassDOT review (with the exception of the M.G.L. Chapter 85 Bridge review), it is not necessary to conform with the traditional 4-step, 25% / 75% / 100% / PS&E stages of submission. In addition; what had been a standard 25% Submission to MassDOT in the past has morphed into a 50% / 75% Submission (although MassDOT still refers to it as a 25% Submission). There is also the additional cost involved to the town in having a consultant prepare four separate submissions.

Typically, on local projects, we have submitted a Preliminary Design (25% Submission) and a Final Design (75 / 100% Submission). Once comments have been received from the town and MassDOT on the Final Design, the Bidding Documents (PS&E) are prepared. This process saves the town money and reduces the schedule, while allowing input by all parties.

For the Preliminary Design (25% Submission), we anticipate the following work to be completed:

B. Bridge Sketch Plans We anticipate that this project will be funded by local and Chapter 90 funds, therefore formal Bridge Sketch Plans will not be required by MassDOT. We anticipate presenting our concepts in the Preliminary Structures Report from Task 3. The Bridge Plans will be advanced and presented as part of the 25% design plans.

D. Preliminary ROW Plan(s) It appears from the town's assessors' maps that South Street has a Right-of-Way (ROW) width of 60 feet in the area of the bridge. Given the roadway's width of approximately 22 feet in this area, it would appear that wingwalls of the bridge are entirely within the ROW. While the proposed construction is not anticipated to be outside of the ROW, temporary construction easements of Rights-of-Entry may be required of the properties located on either side of the roadway.

Rights-of-Entry are by far the simplest and least expensive alternative to secure temporary rights on adjacent properties. However, these documents run with the land owner, and not the property, so if the property is sold, the Right-of-Entry is no longer valid. Additionally, the land owner can revoke the rights at any given time

GPI has assumed that temporary construction easements will be required. In addition, should a portion of the wingwall(s) be located outside the layout, GPI will also show plans for a permanent easement for these walls. Plans will be prepared for review and filing for the work.

E. Drainage and Utility Plans It appears that runoff from the roadway is currently accommodated by "country drainage" that flows off the pavement into the adjacent properties. However, as the bridge is in the area of the apparent low point along South Street, this runoff may be contributing to long-term damage to the bridge and wingwalls. Drainage in the form of catch basins will be considered in the design.

There does not appear to be any subsurface utilities over the bridge span. Overhead electrical and telephone wires are located on the east side of the road, and they should not interfere with construction.

documents, plans, applications and filings necessary for the environmental aspects for the project.

The following Scope of Work is anticipated:

I. A Senior Wetland Scientist will conduct an inspection of the site and delineate wetland resource area boundaries within 100 feet of the bridge.

In accordance with the local regulations, NAA will prepare a Letter Report describing the wetland resource area and its boundary delineation for inclusion in the Notice of Intent

NAA will prepare a Notice of Intent under M.G.L Chapter I 3 I, Section 40 and the Town of Douglas Wetlands Protection Bylaw, Article 8 and its Regulations. The NO1 will be filed under the Limited Project Provisions found at 310 CMR 10.53 and as per the filing requirements of the state and local regulations.

NAA will obtain a Certified List of Abutters and provide Legal Notice of the Public Hearing.

NAA will prepare and file the WPA Notice of Intent with supporting documentation and bridge repair design and construction mitigation plans. Design plans will be prepared by GPI.

NAA will provide technical support and guidance for bridge repair design and construction mitigation plans and narratives.

d. NAA will provide a description of construction impact mitigation and erosion controls;

4. Attendance at two (2) conservation commission public hearings.

5 Attend one (I) on-site with the Conservation Commission and/or their Representative.

6. Prepare and submit a Category I Notification Form to the Army Corps of Engineers - New England District. We assume this repair work will be designed and completed per the Massachusetts Programmatic General Permit conditions.

It is not anticipated that the project will affect any historical areas. Neither the bridge nor the surrounding properties are in the Massachusetts Historical Commission database (MACRIS). Additionally, the project site is not in an area of rare species as determined by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife.

Task 6: Development and Submission of 75% Design Plans and Specifications After review of the 25% Submission (Preliminary Design) by the Town, GPI will prepare the 75% / 100% Submission. The submission will be a complete set of plans, specifications and estimate for review by the town. Specific work in the preparation of the 75% / 100% Submission will include:

A. Response to 25% Comments GPI will prepare a response to all comments received from the Town on the 25% Submission.

B. 75% Design Civil, Highway and TMP Plans The plans will include a Title Sheet, General Legend and Notes, Typical Sections and Details, Construction/Drainage/Utility Plans, Grading/Curb Tie Plans, Pavement Marking and Signing Plans, and Traffic Management Plans. Cross sections will be developed during the design.

C. Preliminary ROW Plans If necessary, the easement plans will be updated to show any changes that may be necessary as the design is advanced.

D. 90% Bridge Design Plans The Bridge Plans will be prepared in accordance with MassDOT Bridge Manual standards where applicable. These plans will be submitted to the MassDOT Bridge Section for review in accordance with M.G.L. Chapter 85.

E. Design Calculation Book Calculations supporting the bridge design will be prepared and submitted to the town and MassDOT in support of the Bridge Design Plans.

F. Project Construction Quantity and Cost Estimates GPI will prepare a detailed construction cost estimate including unit prices and quantities for the work proposed. All unit items will reference the Massachusetts Highway Department's /988 Standard Specifications for Highways and Bridges.

G. Project Special Provisions GPI will prepare supplementary specifications to MassDOT's "Standard Specifications of Highways and Bridges" (latest edition) in the form of Special Provisions. Relevant sections of the Town's specifications shall be incorporated.

Task 7: Final Design, PS&E Submission After review of the 75% / 100% Submission, GPI will prepare the Final (PS&E) Submission for advertisement and award. The submission will update all of the documents submitted under Task 6, including a written response to all comments. The Bridge Plans will be revised based on comments from the Town and MassDOT, and re-submitted to MassDOT for final acceptance. The Chapter 85 review can be completed by either the Boston MassDOT Bridge office or the District 3 office.

Task 8: Bidding and Negotiation GPI will assist the town in advertising and obtaining bids for the project. Within the past 2 years, GPI has conducted all aspects of the public bidding process for the towns of Freetown and Swansea on their projects, including advertisement in the Central Register and local newspapers, obtaining the Prequalification List from MassDOT, obtaining the Prevailing Wage Rates, and other documentation required for advertisement, bidding, and award of contracts.

GPI will perform all of the services outlined in the RFP.

Task 9: Construction Oversight GPI will provide construction administration and observational services during construction of the project as outlined in the RFP. These services were again recently provided to both the towns of Freetown and Swansea on their bridge construction projects.

It should be noted that GPI will only provide full-time observational services when the contractor is physically on the site During construction, there will be periods of inactivity due to weather, cure time for concrete, etc. In addition, there also may be periods where the contractor is on the site, but due to manpower or other issues, they may not be working to full potential. It should be noted that our estimate for construction observation is based on a 10 week construction period (400 hours).

Task 10: As-Built Plans and Certificates of Compliance GPI will provide as-built plans and Certificates of compliance as outlined in the RFP.

E. PROJECT SCHEDULE

The success of a project is as dependent on meeting the Town of Douglas' schedule and cost constraint as it is on quality design and feasibility of construction. GPI's project team was developed not only to achieve the project objectives, but to provide an integrated team that will be immediately available upon receipt of an NTP from the Town and available throughout the length of the contract. Furthermore, GPI staff will work with the individual town boards and committees involved with the project and will be able to respond within each of their respective time frames. GPI's present and future staffing commitments relative to ongoing and upcoming projects are perfectly suited for providing the key and support personnel required for this project. Adequacy and quality of staffing shall not be an issue on this project.

A preliminary detailed project schedule is provided on the following page.
