6 SCOPE OF WORK

The intent of the project is to replace all existing noise barrier panels for all ODOT owned noise barriers along I-675 in the vicinity just north and south of the Vineland Trail overpass with fiberglass or concrete noise barrier panels. These panels may be reflective or absorptive and may only come from ODOT approved barrier suppliers.

The existing top of noise barrier elevations shall be maintained with the replacement panels along with the existing noise barrier locations. The existing top of barrier elevations shall be recorded at each post prior to the start of construction. The field measured top of panel elevation shall be recorded on the design drawings. Additional noise analysis or noise barrier location warrants will not be required for the project. Match the final top of noise barrier elevation to the existing elevation as a minimum. At locations where the existing noise barrier posts extend above the existing panels, the new wall panels shall extend to the top of the existing post. Shortening of the existing posts is prohibited. Place the new panels flush to the interstate side of the noise barrier posts. Replacement panels shall be snug fit or secured in posts to prevent panel movement under wind loading. The use of unsecured wedges is prohibited.

Field inspections by ODOT personnel have indicated that most of the existing noise barrier posts are in salvageable condition and do not need to be replaced. However, the DBT will have the option to use as much or as little of the existing posts and foundations necessary to meet the intent of the scope. There may be spot locations where post replacement will be required due to damage. The District has estimated that approximately 35 posts will need to be replaced. If a post is replaced, it shall be of the same design using the same materials, or better, as the existing post. If the DBT opts to modify the location, number or configuration of existing posts or foundations along the existing alignment, a report shall be submitted at Stage 1 summarizing these changes and shall also provide any supporting calculations. Coating requirements and replacement hardware for any replacement posts or damage to existing posts while in construction shall be in accordance with the highest and most current industry standard for structural stability and durability. All panel and post (if required) design, including the post foundations, shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the ODOT Bridge Design Manual (BDM) Section 800, dated January 2009, and the most current version of ODOT Standard Drawing NBS-1-09. It is the responsibility of the DBT to design the replacement panels in such a manner that the existing posts and foundations, if used, are structurally capable of handling all loads placed on them by the new panels, in accordance with, but not limited to, current ODOT design standards, including the ODOT BDM and NBS-1-09.

The noise barrier replacement shall be performed consistent with current ODOT Noise Policy and Aesthetic Guidelines. The Contractor will be required to match the noise barrier panel color and pattern on both the resident side and the interstate side as closely as possible. The proposed panel color and texture must be approved by the ODOT District 8 Environmental Coordinator (DEC) prior to full manufacturing. The DBT will provide a full-size mock up of the proposed final noise barrier system (typical post and

6

panels for the standard barrier and the bridge barrier) for review and acceptance by the Department at least 45 days prior to production fabrication of the panels. Production fabrication shall not begin until written acceptance of the panel system has been provided to the DBT by the Department. Fiberglass panels may not be painted; color must be integral to the panels. Sealing of concrete panels, if selected, shall be per NBS-1-09, using Federal Color 10324 Dark Neutral.

The noise barrier replacement work shall be constructed in a way which maximizes the preservation of vegetation during construction and clearing and grubbing operations.

When the sequence of construction activities requires, or should the Contractor desire, the removal of the existing lighting, the Contractor shall be responsible for providing temporary lighting of this portion of the roadway. Prior to installing such lighting, the Contractor shall prepare and submit four sets of the temporary lighting plan to the Engineer for review and approval. This plan shall show locations of poles, lengths of bracket arms, styles of luminaires, mounting heights, wiring methods and other pertinent information. The temporary lighting shall provide an average initial intensity of 1.2 footcandles (13 lux) with an average to minimum uniformity not to exceed 3:1. Mounting height of temporary luminaires shall not be less than 30 feet (9 meters), and the minimum overhead conductor clearance shall be 20 feet (6 meters). Temporary overhead construction shall not be less than Grade "A" for strength requirements as defined by the National Electric Safety Code. Wood poles with overhead wiring may be used. However, temporary lighting shall meet Federal and State safety criteria. If breakaway poles are used to meet these criteria, then underground wiring shall be used. Reconditioned or used materials may be furnished for temporary lighting. All materials necessary to complete the temporary lighting shall be furnished and installed by the Contractor. When no longer needed, the temporary lighting installation shall be removed and properly disposed of by the Contractor. The existing light poles shall then be re-erected and returned to their proper working order. Any damage to the existing circuits, poles or hardware, as a result of this work shall be repaired by the contractor.

Highway signs may be removed if they are in conflict with construction operations and re-erected once the construction activities in the vicinity of the sign are completed. The DBT will be responsible for providing a Maintenance of Traffic plan for both I-675 and Vineland Trail.

Existing drainage patterns are to be maintained and any disruption caused as a result of the noise panel replacement (damaged conduits, headwalls, filled in ditches, etc.) shall be repaired by the contractor to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

The use of steel for noise barrier panels mounted on the bridges will not be allowed on the project. Only ODOT approved fiberglass or aluminum powder coated material for these bridge mounted noise barrier panels may be used. If using fiberglass material for the bridge mounted noise barrier replacement panels, in an effort to prevent dislodging of the panels in the event of a vehicle impact into the barrier on the bridge, each individual fiberglass panel shall be fastened to the post at each end. The DBT shall, within 30 days of the signed contract, remove and dispose of the existing panels from the bridge structures only. The DBT will have a total of 120 days, (inclusive of design, review and subsequent approval of drawings) from the date of the signed contract to have the new panels for the bridges only, complete, in place and functional.

The following locations of the existing noise barriers, to which the above described replacement work shall be performed, have been logged by ODOT District 8:

Greene County: SLM 3.10 – 3.50 Left SLM 3.26 – 3.68 Right These logged locations of the existing noise barriers are approximate. Actual locations will be determined

18 BUILDABLE UNITS (BU)

Definition: Buildable Units are portions of the projects which can be designed, reviewed and built with only limited controls and assumptions coming from the design of other portions of the project. Often a Buildable Unit will be defined by a geographic area within the plan, but it may also be defined by types of work or construction stages which may require or permit similar, nearby work to be divided into separate Buildable Units. All Buildable Units shall summarize the materials required to construct that portion of the project. The summary shall include the Construction and Material Specifications Item Number, and a description of the materials to be used.

General: After the approval of the Preliminary Plan, DBT may break the project work into two or more separate BU which can be progressed through design and construction with minimal or known effect on each other and/or which can be dealt with sequentially such that sufficient data is available for design and review of each BU. In order that the design and construction of one BU may proceed without significant approved information from an associated BU, the DBT may develop and propose assumptions which will allow for the first BU to proceed through design and/or construction. These assumptions shall be submitted for review and comment but their accuracy and effort upon the final design are the sole responsibility of the DBT. Should error in these assumptions result in additional work, remedial work or other changes to assure an acceptable design or should they result in the need to remove work and substitute additional work, the DBT shall be responsible for all such costs including, removal of unacceptable materials from the site, modification, additional work, repairs, etc. as necessary to produce an acceptable result.

If the DBT elects to develop Buildable Units, the DBT shall prepare, for review by the Department, a table of Buildable Units for the project with each BU described in detail. If the table is approved, the DBT shall modify the Progress Schedule to show a separate group of activities for BU and these activities shall encompass all of the design and construction work in each BU. Work activities shall be further separated in the Progress Schedule to show a meaningful completion status (i.e. separate activities comprising the placement of a bridge deck on steel beams shall describe; shoring, form building, steel placement, placement of conduit & joints, pouring concrete, forming parapets, pouring or slip forming parapets, provision of membranes, provision of wearing surfaces, curing, repair, form removal, cleaning, etc.)

24

The Final Review Submission and construction plans shall specifically be identified by the Buildable Unit code. If the design of a BU requires input information from an adjacent or related BU, the source for that information in previously approved plans shall be cited or the DBT shall provide an estimated value of the data. The input data shall also be carefully identified. In the same way any assumption, calculations or results from the stage and BU which are used as input to another BU shall be similarly identified, and where appropriate, compared back to that BU to verify previous assumptions. Should assumptions not match values calculated later, the DBT shall re-analyze all affected components and determine appropriate changes. Should those elements have already been constructed, the DBT shall recommend repairs, adjustments, modifications or replacement of the existing work as necessary to comply with the Scope of Work. All costs for re-design, re-submissions, modifications, removals, disposal of materials and new work needed to remedy the project and bring it to compliance shall be borne by the DBT and no time extensions shall be approved for this.
