Bridge Development Update Load Rating Plan of Corrective Action Update Technical Assistance for Load Ratings Metric 14 MiBridge Update Scour Management Questions

Load Rating Plan of Corrective Action What are the major points of the Load Rating PCA? Tiered Deadlines for Load Ratings Three Tiers Deadlines every two years Continuing Compliance Checks (Metric 13)

Load Rating Plan of Corrective Action Tier 1 Bridges without load ratings as of January 1 st, 2011 Due on December 31 st, 2012

Load Rating Plan of Corrective Action Tier 2 Local Agency Tier 2 is comprised of bridges in poor condition Load Ratings must be reviewed or updated to account for the poor condition Tier 2 Load Ratings are due on December 31 st, 2014

Load Rating Plan of Corrective Action Tier 3 Local Agency Tier 3 is comprised of bridges with load rating inconsistencies Proper rating method based on year of construction or reconstruction Load posting inconsistencies Tier 3 Load Ratings are due on December 31 st, 2016

Load Rating Plan of Corrective Action

Technical Assistance for Load Rating Bridge Load Rating Program Support with MTU Center for Technology and Training 2013 Accomplishments User Needs Survey Camelback bridge tutorial, CMP culvert spreadsheet, SHV analysis Over 68 technical assistance cases Processed 68 license requests

Technical Assistance for Load Rating 2014 Plans 3 bridge rating workshops 4+ Webinars (starts April 3 rd ) The Basics Theory and Policy Output Reports Concrete Box Culverts Update CMP culvert spreadsheet Continued technical support and license facilitation

AASHTOWare Bridge Design & Rating User Group Meeting for software formerly known as Virtis/Opis Basic and/or advanced training included August 12 th and 13 th Park Place Hotel, Traverse City

Metric 14 Inspection Procedures, Post or Restrict Metric 14 Rating less than 100% legal loads and still open Posting recommended Rating less than 3 Tons and open without restrictions At this time last year, there were 183 bridges with postings recommended

Metric 14 Inspection Procedures, Post or Restrict MDOT will check data monthly for possible Metric 14 compliance issues Safety issues must be addressed as soon as possible Inventory must be addressed within 180 days for Local Agency structures

Scour Management FHWA Stewardship Agreement Goal Mitigate or reduce the number of interstate scour critical bridges, using risked-based selection procedures, by 5 percent each year. MDOT 426 scour critical bridges Local agencies 1331 scour critical bridges

Scour Management

Scour Management Interactive Risk Assessment Spreadsheet Created to prioritize mitigation efforts Data-driven risk assessment Adds weighted factors to water crossing bridges to quantify vulnerability and criticality Provided local agency focused version to CRAM

Scour Management

Scour Management MDOT Scour Committee is working to update guidance on design, coding, and plans of action for scour critical bridges Updating coding guidance (Item 113) Will reflect changes in HEC-23

Scour Management Scour countermeasures can be used to mitigate existing piers so they are no longer scour critical Source: FHWA

FHWA 23 Metrics 2013 Audit 13 of 23 Metrics determined to be fully compliant Plans of Corrective action required for: METRIC 6 Inspection Frequency, Routine, LOW Risk METRIC 7 Inspection Frequency, Routine, HIGH Risk METRIC 10 Inspection Frequency, Fracture Critical METRIC 11 Inspection Frequency Frequency Criteria METRIC 13 Inspection Procedures, Load Rating METRIC 14 Inspection Procedures, Post or Restrict METRIC 15 Inspection Procedures, Bridge Files METRIC 16 Inspection Procedures, Fracture Critical Members METRIC 20 Inspection Procedures, QC/QA METRIC 21 Inspection Procedures, Critical Findings

FHWA 23 Metrics 2013 Audit METRICs 6, 7, 10, and 11 MDOT will develop and implement a statewide policy to require all inspection reports to be entered into to the bridge management database within thirty (30) days of completing the field portion of the inspection for all types of inspections. This will allow MDOT to start the process of verifying timeliness earlier and as a result reduce the number of inspection that are more than (1) month late and eliminate inspections that are more than (4) months late. This policy exceeds FHWA s regulation 23 CFR 650.313(b) of 90/180 days to update the condition ratings.

FHWA 23 Metrics 2013 Audit METRICs 13, 14 and 15 Currently part of the Load Rating corrective action plan. Metrics 16, 20 and 21 PCA involves development and implementation of Michigan Bridge Inspection Reference Manual, which MDOT Bridge Field Services is in the process of creating. Draft sections are complete pending reviews from Region Bridge Engineers. Local agency will also be engaged in reviews.

Accelerated Bridge Construction Workshop Workshop held December 9 th, 2013 175 participants (MDOT, local agencies, consultants, industry) Presentations from contractors, consultants, states (Utah) and ABC experts Focus on specialized work such as structural moves and prefabricated elements Future workshops will be coordinated.

Accelerated Bridge Construction Workshop Requires change in philosophy must think like a contractor during design Consider equipment capacities

Accelerated Bridge Construction Workshop Consider methods to accelerate construction

Accelerated Bridge Construction Workshop Bridge Slide Special Provision MDOT publications New section 7.01.19 of the Bridge Design Manual

Steel Fabrication Timelines Plate Girders with flange thicknesses less than 3 inches, and rolled beams = 26 weeks after award Provide sufficient time in letting for fabrication of steel beams Up to 3 months for rolling, and material delivery from mill to fabricator Up to 1 month for RFI and shop drawing review and approval Up to 2 months for fabrication and delivery to project site

Steel Fabrication Timelines Variables that effect fabrication timelines Fabricator chosen by contractor may have less work or greater production capacity Some fabricators make book their production schedules in late winter/early spring Mill order and other milestones may take equal time whether it includes one or both stages The relationship of the contractor and fabricator

Steel Fabrication Timelines New BOHIM to be released, which will included MITA and fabricator input Information will also be included in the Construction Manual Wiki Please consider interim completion, or interim open to traffic dates in your progress schedule when building steel beam bridges
