HomeMy WebLinkAbout061021-3.1 FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM 3.1
TO: Mayor and Town Council June 10, 2021
SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to execute a Professional Services
Agreement with Moffatt & Nichol for Bridge Preventative Maintenance
Plan Development Services for Town-wide Bridge Maintenance, CIP No.
C-392
BACKGROUND
Capital Improvement Project Bridge Maintenance, CIP No. C-392 provides for the
maintenance of the 17 Town maintained bridges. The project includes the development
of a Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program (BPMP) to identify and prioritize
maintenance needs for all Town bridges. The California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans) has developed BPMP requirements to help local agencies extend the life of
their bridges by performing maintenance activities that have been preapproved by the
Federal Highway Administration. This program provides federal funding for preventive
maintenance for bridges that are in good condition.
DISCUSSION
Having a BPMP is an important and cost-effective tool in maintaining and prolonging the
service life of eligible local Town bridges by avoiding costly rehabilitation,
reconstruction, or replacement. The BPMP is the first step to making bridge maintenance
costs reimbursable through the Caltrans Highway Bridge Program (HBP).
The BPMP Goals are to:
1.Maintain the existing inventory of bridges in good or fair condition rating.
2.Correct minor structural defects.
3.Correct minor structural deficiencies early in a bridge's life, before a bridge has
problems requiring costly rehabilitation, reconstruction or replacement.
4.Extend the service lives of existing bridges.
5.Make efficient use of limited resources.
On April 13, 2021, Moffatt & Nichol submitted a proposal with a not to exceed budget of
$38,670 to provide the BPMP development services. The proposal and rate schedule is
included as Attachment A.
Consistent with the Town’s Purchasing Policy, the total not to exceed budget of $38,670
Finance Committee – BPMP
Development Services (CIP No. C-392) 2 June 10, 2021
requires authorization from the Finance Committee. Sufficient funds have been
appropriated in the approved 2020/21 Capital Improvement Program for CIP C-392
(Attachment B) to cover the contract costs.
It is recommended that the Finance Committee approve a contract not to exceed $38,670
to Moffatt & Nichol for BPMP development services.

County of Orange Public Works SB-1 Bridge Preventive Maintenance Projects, County of Orange, CA
M&N performed county-wide bridge maintenance services
for the preparation of bridge preventive maintenance plans,
specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for six bridges in Priority
Group 1. After Caltrans inspection of the bridges between
2014 to 2017, and Orange County Public Work (OCPW)
inspection of the bridges in 2017, M&N performed an
inspection to confirm and/or modify all the required
maintenance items stated in both Caltrans and OCPW
inspection reports. The maintenance items ranged from
removal and replacement of joint seals, repair of concrete
spalls and rutting, embankment erosion repair, restriping the bridge, repair of asphalt concrete pavement,
removal and replacement of concrete barriers, and replacement of modular joints. PS&E documents were
prepared for the following six bridges:
1.Bridge #55C0049, Santiago Creek (Year of Construction 1967);
2.Bridge #55C0059, William Canyon Creek (Year of Construction 1970);
3.Bridge #55C0148, Santa Ana River Channel ‐ Warner Ave. (Year of Construction 1961);
4.Bridge #55C0205, Santa Ana Delhi Channel (Year of Construction 1960);
5.Bridge #55C0371, Santa Ana River Channel (Year of Construction 1964); and
6.Bridge #55C0637, Arroyo Trabuco (2005).
Bridge Inspection and Load Rating, Monterey County, CA
Moffatt & Nichol (M&N) provided engineering and
inspection services for 11 County managed and maintained
bridges that are off the National Highway System and/or
under 20-ft long. Bridges types included concrete slab,
timber, and steel girder. M&N conducted inspections and
documented the findings in a Bridge Inspection Report.
M&N developed a custom inspection report template for
the County that will be used for all bridges. The report
categorizes the condition of bridge elements in accordance
with the Caltrans Bridge Element Inspection Manual and
recommends maintenance and other work items to
prolong the service life of the structure. Each report also includes a Structural Inventory and Appraisal (SIAR)
sheet, prepared in accordance with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Recording and Coding
Guide, to document deficiencies and assign a sufficiency rating to each bridge.

Town of Danville 3
Together, the Bridge Inspection Report and SIAR sheet will help the County prioritize repairs and secure
funding for possible replacements. Each bridge was also load rated according to the AAHSTO Manual for
Bridge Evaluation to determine legal load capacities. Bridges lacking sufficient capacity will be posted with
weight limits to encourage safe travel for commercial traffic.
Vanderslice Scour Countermeasure Design and Implementation, Walnut Creek, CA
Under an On-Call Professional Services Agreement with the City of Walnut
Creek, M&N provided engineering services to perform scour
countermeasure design services per Caltrans BIR recommendations. After a
routine inspection, Caltrans recommended that the City of Walnut Creek
implement scour countermeasures to prevent Pier 3 of the Vanderslice
Bridge from being undermined. Scour from the creek below the bridge had
exposed the footing of Pier 3 and further erosion would result in a loss of
bearing causing the bridge to be closed. The City of Walnut Creek solicited
M&N to provide a scour countermeasure design as Vanderslice Bridge
provides the only vehicular access to Murwood Elementary School and
closure was not an option. M&N quickly developed construction documents
for the City to implement prior to the rainy season.
South Broadway Soundwall Replacement, Walnut Creek, CA
Numerous wood sections of a 25-year-old soundwall along
South Broadway in Walnut Creek had fallen into disrepair and
required replacement. M&N assisted the City of Walnut Creek
with the replacement design for a new concrete masonry unit
soundwall. The wall is approximately one mile-long and was
designed and constructed in five phases over the last ten years.
The City of Walnut Creek gave M&N Notice-to-Proceed for the
final phase of design on May 13, 2020 with construction slated
for the fall of the same year.
Various constraints along the corridor added to the complexity
of the design and construction. The wall had to be designed and
constructed within a three-foot-wide right-of-way while accommodating existing utilities and oak trees. A
Kinder Morgan gas pipeline and sanitary sewer parallel the wall in close proximity and in some instances
conflict with the alignment. The wall was designed and constructed to accommodate all of these constraints.
M&N provided design and analysis of the wall system; then assisted with construction support including
observation, submittal review, and resolution of Requests for Information (RFIs). The RFIs included
addressing extensive coordination with the contractor to resolve cast-in-drilled-hole pile conflicts due to
previous undocumented underground construction.

Flood Control Facility Inspection and Assessment, Contra Costa County, CA
M&N has been issued six task orders for a total of 28 facilities as part
of an on-call inspection and assessment contract. Example of facilities
inspected include concrete channels, earthen channels, steel
structures, drop structures, energy dissipaters, embankments, levees,
floodwalls, earth fill dams, and concrete and metal culverts and pipes.
M&N self-performed the inspection work for the facilities issued
through task orders to date. After performing the inspection, M&N
prepared an inspection report for each facility. The report documented
the condition of the facility and provided the District with repair recommendations and an estimate of
associated costs. In addition to the inspection report, M&N developed a custom inspection checklist for the
District which categorizes the components of each facility and lists the associated condition assessment
rating
Timber Bridge Inspections, San Bernardino County, CA
Moffatt & Nichol inspected and performed structural assessment of 15
timber bridges in San Bernardino County including the 22‐span Mojave
River Bridge in Baker, California. Many of the bridges are historic
structures on the National trails Highway (Historic Route 66). Each of the
structures was inspected visually, by probing and by coring. Field notes
and still photography were used to record the condition of the structure.
Moffatt & Nichol provided detailed inspection reports describing the
findings, analysis of existing bridge capacity, discussion of
rehabilitation or replacement alternatives, cost estimates, and final recommendation for each bridge.
Inventory and operating ratings were calculated and published in the final report.
Corteva Railroad Trestle Emergency Inspection and Repair, Pittsburg, CA
Corteva Agriscience owns an aging timber railroad trestle
which was constructed prior to the 1950s. It was
discovered that one of the timber bent caps had failed
which compromised the integrity of the trestle to
support rail traffic. Corteva asked M&N to inspect the
trestle to determine additional points of weakness, then
provide repair drawings for immediate construction.
M&N worked quickly and efficiently with the contractor to minimize facility downtime and navigate
constraints such as material availability. Additionally, M&N developed a load testing scheme to ensure
adequate strength prior to putting the trestle back into service.

BPMP Approach
M&N will develop a BPMP adhering to Caltrans guidelines and Town input. We know how to prioritize
projects to develop a comprehensive BPMP through our experience inspecting and repairing bridges. We
have qualified staff with firsthand experience evaluating and classifying defects on bridges according to
Caltrans Element Level Inspection Manual and constructed of concrete, masonry, wood, and steel. The steps
we will take in identifying and prioritizing projects are listed below.
1. M&N will analyze the Town of Danville bridge database (if applicable) in conjunction with Caltrans-
developed BIRs to eliminate bridges that do not require maintenance.
2. Bridges with a structurally deficient status will be removed from the list unless preventive
maintenance work can be adequately justified.
3. M&N will evaluate all work recommendations and group projects together that contain similar
requirements. If required, M&N will conduct site visits to confirm work recommendations.
4. Priority will be placed on projects that include scour countermeasures and the repair, restoration,
and strengthening of structural elements. This step will concentrate on bridges in fair to good
condition (if possible) and consider those which are not eligible for rehabilitation or replacement
under the HBP.
5. Potential construction impacts to traffic will also be used in evaluating project priority.
6. A BPMP report and cost summary following Caltrans BPMP Guidelines will be prepared. It is assumed
that local funding will be used for future upkeep of the bridge preventive maintenance program. All
preventive maintenance project costs will be listed with highest priority placed toward the top of the
list.
7. M&N will provide and maintain all documentation justifying project priority in addition to developing
a BPMP priority list conforming to Caltrans HBP guidelines and federal aid requirements in the LAPM.
A project file will be created that contains appropriate design standards, example plans, and example
specifications.
8. M&N will develop a decision matrix for evaluation of each bridge which clearly shows deciding factors
when developing project priority.
9. For each bridge, M&N will identify "routine maintenance" items to be performed by Town
maintenance staff versus "preventive maintenance" items eligible for Federal reimbursement.
10. The resulting BPMP deliverable will be organized, focused, and robust enough to be validated in any
audit.
Providing a valid and accurate project cost estimate is a crucial step to ensure success during construction
and adequate federal reimbursement. A key objective of this effort is to assist in development and
budgeting for the Town's long-term Capital Improvement Program. M&N’s team are experts in preparing
accurate estimates using Caltrans cost database and indexes. Our team also possesses the capability to build
bottom-up or top-down estimates led by the expertise of Jack Fink who was a former cost estimator and
project manager for a major contractor. In addition to possessing a comprehensive background in hard dollar
cost estimating, he also has invaluable experience in constructability analysis, construction management,
quality control, and project engineering. This team has performed many accurate estimates on a wide range
of federally funded projects.

Scope of Work
The Town of Danville seeks to implement a Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program for the 17
Town-maintained bridges in the National Bridge Inventory as documented by the July 2018 Local Agency
Bridge List. Moffatt & Nichol assumes that Caltrans prepared Bridge Inspection Reports for each bridge will
be readily available. Scope of work will consist of the following tasks:
Task 1 – Project Management (Timeline: from NTP to Project Closure)
Provide project management services for control and administration of the work during this task including:
• Project Coordination and Meetings
• Project Controls
• Quality Control and Quality Assurance
Deliverables:
• Meeting agendas and minutes.
• Project schedule.
• Monthly invoices, progress reports, and budget tracking worksheet.
Task 2 – Develop Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program (BPMP) (Timeline: Deliver Three
Months from NTP)
Develop a BPMP for the Town's 17 NBI bridges listed in the July 2018 Local Agency Bridge list published by
Caltrans Structures Maintenance & Investigations. The BPMP will be prepared adhering to Caltrans guidelines
and Town input.
Task 2.1 - Data Collection and Verification of Caltrans Work Recommendations
Secure Bridge Inspection Reports (BIRs) for bridges throughout the Town. For BIRs not currently in the Town's
possession, document requests will be submitted to Caltrans. Analyze the Town of Danville bridge database
spreadsheet in conjunction with Caltrans-developed BIRs to identify bridges with work recommendations
and those that do not require maintenance. Systematically log and sort the bridges by perceived maintenance
priority.
If needed, site visits will be performed to verify work recommendations noted in the BIRs. Inspections will be
visual and will be limited to identifying BPMP eligible maintenance items. If warranted and justifiable, M&N
will document additional work items for incorporation into the Draft BPMP Report.
Based on a review of BIRs and data collected from site visits, document all maintenance recommendations
for each bridge in a Microsoft Excel worksheet.
Task 2.2 - Develop BPMP Report
A Draft BPMP Report will be prepared following Caltrans BPMP guidelines. Construction cost estimates will
be prepared for all preventive maintenance measures and will be used to prioritize the bridges. Although the
BPMP report is not a Caltrans deliverable, it will justify work recommendations proposed by the BPMP and
is a backup document required to be filed by the Town's engineering department. Upon approval of the Draft
BPMP Report, M&N will submit the Final BPMP Report.
Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program for TOWN OF DANVILLE
Town of Danville 11
As a separate deliverable, M&N will prepare a BPMP Prioritization List (in MS Excel) per the Caltrans BPMP
Program which clearly prioritizes maintenance priorities. A cover letter, addressed to Caltrans, will also be
prepared in anticipation of the BPMP Prioritization List being sent to Caltrans.
Deliverables:
• Draft BPMP Report
• Final BPMP Report
• Prioritized BPMP List and Caltrans Cover Letter
Task 2.3 - Caltrans Documentation Support
While performing reviews, site visits, and preparing the BPMP Report, M&N will make note of bridges that
are either 1) eligible for the National Bridge Inventory but are not documented, and/or 2) eligible for
replacement. Bridges eligible for replacement are discouraged from participation in the BPMP since it is often
more cost effective to replace. M&N will work with the Town to document these bridges and outline possible
action items for corrective action.
Assumptions
M&N proposes to perform the services described above on a time and materials basis not to exceed amount
of $38,670 as detailed in the attached fee estimate.
Assumptions
• The BPMP scope and fee assumes assessment of the Town's 17 NBI bridges listed in the July 2018 Local
Agency Bridge list published by Caltrans Structures Maintenance & Investigations, attached.
• For each Town-maintained bridge on Local Agency Bridge List, Bridge Inspection Reports will be readily
available from either the Town or Caltrans.
• It is assumed the Caltrans Bridge Inspection Reports accurately list bridge work items, and a visual
inspection of each bridge is not necessary. M&N may set aside budget for limited verification of work
items where the inspection reports are unclear.
• There will be one kick-off meeting and one close-out meeting.
• Project management effort is based on an assumed project schedule of four months.
• The BPMP Report will not be overly elaborate, but simply prepared with the goal of meeting the Caltrans
