Bridge Layout Clause Samples
The Bridge Layout clause defines the specific arrangement and design requirements for the construction of a bridge within a project. It typically outlines the dimensions, alignment, span lengths, and positioning of the bridge relative to existing infrastructure or natural features. For example, it may specify the number of lanes, pedestrian pathways, or the location of support piers. This clause ensures that all parties have a clear and consistent understanding of how the bridge should be constructed, minimizing the risk of design errors and facilitating regulatory compliance.
Bridge Layout. The Engineer shall prepare a bridge layout plan sheet for each bridge and bridge class culvert. The Engineer shall determine the location of each soil boring needed for foundation design in accordance with the Geotechnical Manual. Prior to preparation of each bridge layout, the Engineer shall prepare a comparative cost analysis of bridge structures to determine: (1) the optimum bridge beams for vertical clearance over railroads, roadway, or waterways, (2) the optimum bridge structure versus roadway embankment, pavement, soil stabilization, and retaining walls, and (3) to determine optimum in bridge beams for the direct connectors. The Engineer shall submit a 3D model (if applicable) and bridge layout for each structure early in the plan preparation process to obtain approval from the State. The Engineer shall comply with all relevant sections of the latest edition of the State’s LRFD Bridge Design Manual, Bridge Project Development Manual, Bridge Detailing Guide, and AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications and respective checklists. Each bridge layout sheet must include bridge typical sections, structural dimensions, abutment and bent locations, superstructure and substructure types. The Engineer shall locate and plot all soil borings and utilities, show proposed retaining walls, and, for staged construction, indicate limits of existing bridge for removal and reconstruction.
