Except for Bridge Location No. 24, the Developer shall seal the bottom surface and vertical surfaces of the bottom flange for interior prestressed concrete I-beams and bulb-tees. Page 14-16 Document1 For steel beams and steel I-girders, the limits of sealing shall be per ODOT BDM Figure 302.1.4.3-2, except that the limits of sealing for the underside of the deck overhang shall extend to the flange of the fascia beam or girder. 14.2.15 Bridge Load Ratings All bridges shall be load-rated per Section 900 of the ODOT BDM, with the following clarifications and exceptions: Load and Resistance Factor Rating (LRFR) shall be used for bridges designed following Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) procedures. Load Factor Rating (LFR) shall be used for bridges designed following Load Factor Design (LFD) procedures. The bridge load rating shall be based on the Interim Condition. The Developer shall provide a rating manual for any bridge type that is not compatible with BARS-PC or AASHTO Virtis software. The rating manual shall include a Microsoft Excelcompatible spreadsheet in electronic format to load-rate the bridge for future permit vehicles (e.g., overweight or superload vehicles). The spreadsheet shall be capable of performing the analysis with the permit vehicle isolated and included with legal loads. Such vehicles may weigh up to 600,000 pounds, have as many as 25 axles with two to eight tires per axle, and have a width of 20 feet and a length of 200 feet. Each bridge load rating submission shall include the computer files in electronic format. At Bridge Location No. 21, the bridge load rating report requirement may be waived upon request by the Developer, if the Developer’s design sufficiently corresponds with the Department’s preliminary design work, at the sole discretion of the Department. 14.3 PERMANENT RETAINING WALL CRITERIA In CCG1, retaining walls were constructed to retain the embankment around certain bridge abutments. Where new bridges are being designed and constructed adjacent to such bridge locations, the retaining walls shall be continued in front of the new bridge abutments except as noted for the eastbound I-90 Viaduct Structure and Bridge Location No. 30. The retaining wall type shall be the same as that of the adjacent wall. Segments of the existing walls parallel with the I-90 alignment and between I-90 bridges shall be abandoned and left in place. At the forward abutment of the eastbound I-90 Viaduct Structure, the Developer shall design and construct one of the following: A retaining wall of the same type as that of the adjacent wall in front of the abutment An abutment that aligns with the existing retaining wall in front of the abutment At Retaining Wall H supporting eastbound I-90 and the rear abutment of Bridge Location No. 30, the retaining wall types shall be as follows: Page 14-17 Document1 Cast-in-place cantilever wall, soil nail wall, soldier pile wall, or secant wall (adjacent drilled shafts) for the portion of the wall parallel to I-90 MSE wall for the portion of the wall parallel to E. 9th Street At Retaining Wall 1 supporting the entrance ramp embankment and rear abutment of Bridge Location No. 25, an MSE wall type shall be used. At Bridge Location No. 24 where new MSE walls abut existing MSE walls, a vertical concrete coping shall be constructed at the interface. Cast-in-place concrete facings are required for soil nail walls, soldier pile walls, and secant walls. Cast-inplace concrete facings shall have a minimum thickness of 6 inches. All coarse aggregate shall have an absorption of 1 percent or greater as defined per ASTM C127. This requirement shall be included as a note in the Released for Construction Plans. The Developer shall not use timber for permanent retaining walls. Modular block walls are not allowed for walls greater than 3 feet of total overall wall height, except as noted for Walls C and 3. Wall C shall use Redi-Rock, limestone finish units produced by a licensed manufacturer. Wall 3 shall be constructed as specified in Appendix GE-01 (West Slope Grading Plans). MSE walls with modular block facings are prohibited. Utilities shall not be placed within the reinforced soil mass of MSE walls, with the exception of roadway/storm drainage systems in Type B conduits in accordance with ODOT L&D Volume 2, Section 1002.3.2. Utilities shall be encased in casing pipe per BDM Section 301.7. Drainage for overland flow shall be provided at the top of retaining walls preventing water from flowing across vertical faces of walls. For retaining wall foundations, the Developer is not required to socket drilled shaft foundations into bedrock. Drilled shaft friction capacity provided by soil is allowed for retaining wall foundations. Slip forming is not allowed for concrete barrier on top of retaining walls or moment slabs. Fall protection consisting of black, vinyl-coated, chain-link fence shall be installed on top of retaining walls accessible to pedestrians or maintenance personnel. 14.3.1 Cuyahoga River Bulkhead Walls Steel sheet pile vertical bulkhead walls shall comply with Section 5 (Environmental Commitments). The Developer shall comply with City of Cleveland City Ordinance, Title XI – Port Control, Chapter 573 for design criteria and requirements, and Chapter 575 for dock line alignment. Design of sheet pile bulkhead shall be coordinated with Section 9 (Geotechnical). Page 14-18 Document1 The Developer shall provide a procedure in the Design Documents for replacement of all tiebacks without requiring temporary support or shoring of the bulkhead walls. The procedure shall not include any modifications to the steel sheet pile members other than that needed to anchor new tiebacks. All tiebacks shall be galvanized. Alternative methods of corrosion protection may be submitted to the Department for Approval. Cranes, crane pads, outriggers, and stored materials 60,000 pounds or more gross weight are prohibited within 25 feet of the bulkhead walls. 14.3.2 Green Bulkheads The Developer shall construct two green bulkhead additions to provide larval fish habitats along the Cuyahoga River. The additions shall serve as pocket habitats. Green bulkhead additions shall be within Project Right-of-Way on the Cuyahoga River and outside the footprint of the new structure. The green bulkhead additions shall be located on the east bank of the Cuyahoga River within the limits of the new bulkhead construction. The green bulkhead additions shall be designed to be self-sustainable and require minimal maintenance. The Developer shall consult and incorporate the recommendations of an environmental professional experienced in wetland plantings for design of the pocket habitat with respect to plantings and issues related to establishing a functional habitat. General scope of work includes: Remove shoreline material from behind the wall as follows: o Excavate to a depth approximately 10 feet below the top of the bulkhead. The excavation shall extend for 10 feet behind the wall at approximately the same depth. o Beyond the first 10 feet behind the wall, the excavation shall follow a 1.5:1 (H:V) maximum slope until existing grade is met. Provide geotextile fabric along the bottom of the excavated section. Place a clean soil layer (4 to 6 inches thick) immediately landward of the waterside bulkhead structure. Place a gravel fill layer over the new soil layer. Cut vertical slots in the webs of the wall along the entire length of the excavated area to accommodate habitat access to the excavated area. Vertical slots shall be approximately 4 inches wide. The top of the slots shall be no more than 3 inches below the OHWM. The bottom of the slots shall be 6 inches above the top of the newly placed soil layer. Install aquatic plantings to provide cover for the fish and aid in increasing dissolved oxygen levels. Each green bulkhead addition shall be 20 to 25 feet wide (measured perpendicular to the bulkhead), and the entire length of work, including grading, along the wall shall be 60 feet for each pocket habitat. Pocket habitats shall be separated by at least 50 feet. Page 14-19 Document1 Bulkhead wall anchors shall not be placed within the pocket habitats.
