Common use of Bridge Layout Clause in Contracts

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 conduct preliminary studies as necessary prior to producing the bridge layout. Preliminary studies will include the following: DocuSign Envelope ID: FEE70723-A887-4BCC-92B5-33508013EFFC 1. Locate utilities. Determine the locations of utilities that affect placement of bridge substructure elements. 2. Determine extents of right of way. 3. If necessary, review existing documentation and information for rehabilitation, widening, or replacement of existing structures. Available information may include:
