Volkert Team Experience

Awareness/Approach to Project

Understanding of Scope

• D/B/F $80M lump sum 21st Century Vision project to widen 1.6 miles of I-75 to eight lanes

• Two step D/B procurement process‒ CEI support for 140 days

• Full FHWA oversight• Widening of four pairs of bridges

‒ Caloosahatchee River (steel main span) ‒ Tidal Creek ‒ Tidal Marsh ‒ Popash Creek



• CEI duration 1,220 days• Construction duration 1,050 days• New noise barrier walls at I-75/SR 80

Interchange • Stormwater management facilities • Drainage improvements to SR 78 • Milling and resurfacing of I-75, ramps, median

crossover• Structural ITS accommodations• Median barrier system • Utility coordination/relocation



CEI role• Assistance during procurement phase

‒ Assist with review of ATCs‒ Book of promises

• Manage D/B design and permitting‒ Review and acceptance of CPM and schedule of values‒ ERC and submittal tracking‒ Review comment clarity

• CEI services during construction‒ Construct the project in accordance with all contract

documents and approved permits‒ Utilize CPPR as needed

• Communication‒ Partnering


Unique Project Issues

Procurement overview• Bridge inspection

report recommendations

• Designing for vessel collision

• Field attachments welding

• Lateral bracing• Cross frame

connection plates • Bridge drainage



Inspection report items – verify in RFP Paint entire steel

span Replace fender

system• Replace all deck

expansion joints• Repair footing

delaminations• Replace access

ladders/platform



Designing for vessel collision• Barge traffic has

decreased• New/larger

foundations and piers to distribute vessel impact loads

• Increased construction costs

Suggest – review with SDO



Field attachments/welding• RFP prohibits field

attachments and welding to bridge girders web/flanges

• Eliminates use of cross bracing for loads

• Drilling of bolt holes allowed by SDG

Suggest – clarify RFP language



Lateral bracing• RFP directs removal of

the lateral bracing and connection plates

• Current design practice considers bracing unnecessary

• Removal may not add value

Suggest – revisit RFP with SDO



Cross frame connection plates • Plates are welded to girder web and

compression flange• Results in fatigue prone connection where

girder flange is in tension • RFP requires new detail to correct Solution – standard detail



Bridge drainage • RFP states, “bridge

drainage shall not discharge directly into the Caloosahatchee River”

• RFP Q&A, “portion of the bridge can continue to discharge into…”

• Widening of SB bridge to high side of superelevated curve

Suggest - clarifying RFP intent



Design Development overview• Managing D/B/F

payments• Prioritizing and

tracking submittals • Review comments

for clarity and conformance with contract



Managing D/B/F payments • First availability payment is August 2013• Payments governed by D/B/F contract

terms• Future payments after CEI contract term Solution - we will manage this effectively

Cash Availability Schedule



Prioritizing submittals • D/B/F team design schedule is critical • Significant volume of design documentation/plans• Submittals must be prioritized for efficient reviews Review comment clarity • Comments must be focused on compliance with

‒ RFP requirements ‒ Department criteria

Solutions - we will lead the design partnering effort with D/B/F team EORs and District 1; we will review every comment



Construction overview• Environmental impacts

‒ Smalltooth sawfish, manatee‒ Outstanding Florida Waters

• Caloosahatchee National Wildlife Refuge‒ Public recreation area access‒ Great Calusa Blueway Paddling Trail

• Morse Shores and Dos Rios noise barrier walls• Maintenance of traffic

‒ Marine and vehicular• Bridge construction methods • Pile driving• Coordination with adjacent projects• Blue logo signs relocation



Noise barrier walls



Impacts to wetlands, wetlands species, and essential fish habitat • Construction conditions commitments to NMFS

‒ Sea turtle, smalltooth sawfish, manatee

Smalltooth sawfish habitat and education • Nursery habitat includes Charlotte Harbor Estuary • Will restrict contractor marine operations• Education program commitment Solutions - extensive review and analysis of construction plan and prepare/deliver the education program



Caloosahatchee National Wildlife Refuge • Established in 1920, 40 acres, three islands • “Preserve and breeding ground for natural birds”• Construction operations must be minimized Public recreation access • Great Calusa Blueway Paddling Trail – closure

necessary• Orange Harbor RV Park • Local fishermen Solutions - extensive planning, public information and continuous monitoring of contractor’s operations



Outstanding Florida Waters • Impacts typical construction operations • “Zero” NTU increase above background• Major concern of Department, SFWMD, Lee

County and City of Fort MyersSolution - continuous emphasis and vigilance

Blue logo signs • Coordinating temporary removal Solution - Florida logos coordination



Maintenance of traffic• Marine

– USCG notice to mariners

• Vehicular– Coordination with

SWIFT Center



Bridge construction methods • Commitment to top down

or work trestle bridges• Barges restricted to

adequate depth • Straddle cranes produce

unequal load distribution

Solution - we will be engaged continuously with the contractor to minimize environmental risks and impacts



Pile driving• 44 test piles on

conceptual plans• 24” pile, length from

60’ to 140’• Test pile program is

developed and managed by D/B/F team

Solution – experienced staff



Coordination with adjacent projects • I-75 Widening from Luckett Road to

SR 80 ‒ Estimated completion is May/June 2013

• I-75 Widening south of SR 78 ‒ Letting in May 2012‒ Construction start in September 2012

Solutions - seamless integration with SR 80; we will attend SR 78 progress meetings
