CONS-22989 - USA (Arlington, Vermont) - Engineering Services - Deadline September 4,2026

Vendor needs to provide engineering services to the government authority located in Arlington, VT.– Review the 2020 scoping study/feasibility analysis, prior inspection reports, bridge inspection records, and any available as–built plans or construction records for the bridge.– Identify data gaps relevant to evaluating abutment condition, capacity, and foundation type.– Perform a detailed, hands–on condition assessment of both abutments and wingwalls, including documentation of cracking, efflorescence, scaling, spalling, voids, and any other visible deterioration.– Investigate and document the extent and depth of voids and scaling identified at the eastern abutment below the waterline, including underwater/diving inspection if warranted.– Evaluate the eastern abutment for footing exposure and assess apparent scour conditions at both abutments.– Determine the type, depth, and condition of the existing foundations (e.g., spread footings, piles) through appropriate means, as proposed by the firm.– Soil test borings at each existing abutment location, sufficient to characterize foundation soils and support the abutment capacity evaluation.– Soil test borings at the potential replacement abutment locations identified in the 2020 feasibility study (or as otherwise directed by the town), to provide subsurface data in the event the project needs to transition to an abutment replacement alternative.– Evaluate the structural adequacy of the existing abutments and wingwalls to support the proposed steel girder and reinforced concrete deck superstructure including reconstructed bridge seats and new bearings.– Identify any required repairs, strengthening, or foundation improvements needed for the abutments to support the new superstructure and meet current design/load requirements.
