BACKGROUND <br /> The project consisted of preventative maintenance on seven bridges in the City. The <br /> preventative maintenance included Methacrylate deck treatments, joint seal <br /> replacements, repair of concrete spalls on bridge decks and railings, and the cleaning <br /> and painting of corroded steel members. Methacrylate is a concrete deck sealant which <br /> decreases the overall permeability of concrete, sealing and filling cracks to prevent the <br /> direct intrusion of water that causes deterioration of the concrete bridge deck. Joint seal <br /> replacement involves removal and installation of the seals where sections of the bridge <br /> meet each other, and/or the roadway, to allow for expansion and contraction and other <br /> movement of the bridge structure. Concrete spall repairs remove deteriorated concrete <br /> from around reinforcement steel and replace it with new concrete to protect the <br /> reinforcement steel. <br /> The following preventative maintenance measures were performed (See Attachment 1 <br /> for location map): <br /> 1) Main Street Bridge at Arroyo Del Valle (Br No. 33C-0058): The scope of work for <br /> this bridge included applying methacrylate deck treatment, cleaning and painting <br /> the corroded portion of the painted steel members on the underside of the bridge, <br /> removing and replacing existing expansion joint seals at Abutments 1 & 4 and <br /> Piers 2 & 3, repairing spalls on the bridge deck and concrete barrier rail, repairing <br /> exposed reinforcement on the bridge deck, and installing welded steel drainage <br /> pipes to direct the drainage flow off of the pier supports and into the Arroyo Del <br /> Valle. <br /> 2) Bernal Avenue Bridge at Arroyo Del Valle (Br No. 33C-0239L): The scope of work <br /> for this bridge included applying methacrylate deck treatment, removing and <br /> replacing existing expansion joint seals at Piers 2, 3 and 4, and repairing exposed <br /> reinforcement on the bridge deck. <br /> 3) Valley Avenue Bridge at Arroyo Del Valle (Br No. 33C-0411): The scope of work <br /> for this bridge included applying methacrylate deck treatment and repairing spalls <br /> on the concrete barrier rail. <br /> 4) Hopyard Road Bridge at Arroyo Mocho - Southbound (Br No. 33C-0101L): The <br /> scope of work for this bridge included applying methacrylate deck treatment, <br /> removing and replacing an existing expansion joint seal at Pier 2, and repairing <br /> spalls on the concrete barrier rail. <br /> 5) Hopyard Road Bridge at Arroyo Mocho - Norhtbound (Br No. 33C-0101R): The <br /> scope of work for this bridge included applying methacrylate deck treatment and <br /> repairing spalls on the concrete barrier rail. <br /> 6) Stoneridge Drive Bridge at Arroyo Mocho (Br No. 33C-0410): The scope of work <br /> for this bridge included removing and replacing existing expansion joint seals at <br /> Piers 2 and 3, replacing the expansion dam at Pier 3, and repairing spalls on the <br /> concrete barrier rail. <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
