Exhibit A <br /> 1. Adequate high quality color photographs will be taken of the structure to convey the <br /> current condition and to corroborate the recommended scope of work in the BCR. <br /> Photos of distressed areas, areas of concern and areas depicting the general overall <br /> condition of the structure will be taken during the inspection. <br /> 2. Detailed top and bottom of deck survey plans will be developed based on the inspection <br /> sketches. These surveys are critical to estimating the condition of the deck and <br /> determining whether or not it is economical to repair. <br /> 3. Detailed substructure survey plans will be prepared based on the inspection sketches. <br /> These surveys are critical in estimating the condition of the substructure and whether or <br /> not it is economical to reuse. <br /> 4. If significant section loss is detected on main load carrying elements, the thickness and <br /> length/area of the section loss will be measured along with the distance from a known <br /> point to the location of the section loss. Photos will also be taken of the damaged area. <br /> 5. If significant concrete cracks are detected in structural members, the length of the crack <br /> will be measured along with the width of the crack at identified points. The distance from <br /> a known point to the location of the crack will also be measured and photos will be taken <br /> of the area. <br /> 6. If it is suspected that substructure units have rotated or moved significantly since <br /> construction, measurements will be taken to document plumbness of the walls and the <br /> degree of rotation or movement of the bearings at the unit. The location of the area will <br /> be measured relative to a known point and photos will be taken of the area. <br /> Bridge Analysis and Scope of Work Selection <br /> This process determines the appropriate scope of work for a structure within the framework of <br /> the project being considered. It considers information about the bridge and surrounding area <br /> such as the results of the inspection (current condition), geometric requirements, load <br /> capacity, construction feasibility, economics and exterior constraints when making this <br /> decision. Scope of work definitions may be any of the following: <br /> 1. Bridge Replacement: Replacement of the entire bridge. <br /> 2. Bridge Reconstruction: At a minimum a complete replacement of the superstructure and <br /> may include work on the substructure and foundation. <br /> 3. Bridge Rehabilitation: Repair or replacement work on one or more of the major <br /> and/or minor components of a bridge (i.e., deck replacement, super/substructure <br /> widening, bridge rail retrofit/replacement, transverse or longitudinal joint work, beam <br /> repairs and substructure repairs). <br /> A-3 <br /> Rev 0—12/10/2020 <br />
