- Description
- SYNOPSIS: The scope of this work will be limited to prefabricated systems for steel bridges to achieve project objectives with the effort necessary to identify and develop steel bridge concepts that have promise to improve the state-of-practice relative to details, materials and methods for increasing the speed of construction, and service life of bridges. Objectives of the study are as follows: 1. Discuss and assess the performance status of new and innovative prefabricated steel bridge systems/elements and methods in bridge construction, rehabilitation, and replacement. 2. Identify the most suitable prefabricated systems for steel bridges that are in use or conceptually possible for bridge construction, rehabilitation and replacement and identify any existing problems hindering the wide use of these prefabricated systems, and develop possible solutions. 3. Develop promising steel bridge concepts, ideas and approaches using innovative technologies and techniques. 4. Develop complete details for two of the concepts identified under objective no. 3 to determine the feasibility of further development, and constructability including efficient and economical erection procedures. The solicitation and all related documents and amendments, if any, will only be released and available electronically through Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) web site at http://www1.eps.gov/spg/DOT/FHWA/postdate_1.html which will list all the FHWA business opportunities sorted by posted date.
