Scope of Services: Structural engineering services at the Postsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery, ME for an indefinite quantity contract for field investigation services, and preparation of reports and detailed sketches and cost estimates. There will be no dollar limit per project. The total fee that may be paid under this contract will not exceed $200,000 per year. A second year option for an additional $200,000 may be exercised at the discretion of the Government subject to workload and/or satisfaction of A/E performance under the subject contract. The total for both years will not exceed $400,000. Initial Project: Complete inspection of Bridges #1 and #2 in accordance with 23 CFR Part 650, AASHO Manual, and NAVFAC Manual MO-322. Inspection of bridges shall include steel superstructure and underwater support structure. Both bridges shall also be rated as to their safe load carrying capacity in accordance with Section 4 of the AASHO Manual. Bridge #1, built in 1913, is a riveted steel through girder structure carrying both railway and highway traffic. It is composed of four individual spans of approximately 73' in length, each span consisting of three riveted girders connected by floor beams with stringers framing between floor beams. This bridge carries vehicular traffic only over one side and both vehicular and railroad traffic over the opposite side. Decks are open steel grating. Bridge #2, built in 1942, is a two span, riveted continuous girder bridge of varying section with floor beams and stringers, supported by one central pier and two abutments. It is 200' long (two equal 100' spans) with two bituminous surfaced reinforced concrete vehicular traffic lanes. Services may include incidental civil, mechanical, and electrical work. This initial project will be the guaranteed minimum for the first year of this contract. Follow-on projects, which may be added to the contract for a period of one year from the date of award, may include similar work such as evaluation of bridge deficiencies found to determine the best course of follow-on action.
