33 >> Presentation Overview Program History Data Collection Reporting Sufficiency Rating 5/26/2016 Bridge Inspection Reports

34 >> Sufficiency Rating Definition: Calculated value used to indicate sufficiency of a bridge to remain in service. Broken down into 4 sections: Structural Adequacy & Safety (55%) Serviceability and Functional Obsolescence (30%) Essentiality for Public Use (15%) Special Reductions (13%) 5/26/2016 Bridge Inspection Reports

35 >> Sufficiency Rating How this affects Funding? Technical Ranking System for HBP Priority Points = (SRF + TBF + LDF + UBF) x 0.5 x BNM x FCM SRF makes up 50 out of 105 possible points Less than 80% = Eligible for Rehabilitation Less than 50% = Eligible for Replacement 5/26/2016 Bridge Inspection Reports

36 >> Sufficiency Rating Values that go into SR Structural Adequacy & Safety Serviceability & Functional Obsolescence Essentiality for Public Use Special Reductions 5/26/2016 Bridge Inspection Reports

37 >> Sufficiency Rating Structural Adequacy & Safety (55%) Superstructure (59) Deductions start at NBI = 5 or less Substructure (60) Deductions start at NBI = 5 or less Culvert (62) - If Applicable Deductions start at NBI = 5 or less Inventory Rating (66) Deductions of loads less than 32.4 tons 5/26/2016 Bridge Inspection Reports

38 >> Sufficiency Rating Serviceability and Functional Obsolescence (30%) # of lanes on and under (28) Average Daily Traffic (29) Approach Roadway Width (32) Bridge Roadway width (51) Vertical Clearance Over (53) Deck Condition (58) Structure Condition (67) Deck Geometry (68) Vertical Under Clearance (69) Waterway (71) Approach Roadway (72) Defense Highway (100) 5/26/2016 Bridge Inspection Reports

39 >> Sufficiency Rating Essentiality for Public Use (15%) Bypass Detour (19) Average Daily Traffic (29) Main Structure Type (43) Defense Highway (100) 5/26/2016 Bridge Inspection Reports

40 >> Sufficiency Rating Special Reductions (13%) Bypass Detour (19) Bridge Rail (36) Main Structure Type (43) 5/26/2016 Bridge Inspection Reports

41 >> Sufficiency Rating Shareware 5/26/2016 Bridge Inspection Reports

42 >> Summary Things to look for: Sufficiency Rating less than 50% NBI Ratings of Poor 4 or less Element Condition Ratings in states 3 or 4 Load Rating Information NBI Item 41, anything other than A for open Maintenance Recommendations Supplemental Reports Timber Bore Logs Fracture Critical Reports 5/26/2016 Bridge Inspection Reports
