CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
THRU: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director
Chris Brown, City Engineer
FROM: Matt Mihalevich, Trails Coordinator
DATE: November 3rd, 2015
SUBJECT: 2015-0511 - Town Branch Trail Bridge Purchase
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the purchase of a prefabricated steel trail bridge from Contech Engineered
Solutions, LLC in the amount of $87,126.00 plus sales tax of $8,494.79 for a total purchase
price of $95,620.79 and approval of a 20% contingency in the amount of $19,124.16 using bid
#15-58 for installation over the Town Branch Creek west of South Garland Ave along the new
Town Branch Trail extension.
BACKGROUND:
The city in-house trail construction crew has been working on a 1.2 mile long extension of the
Town Branch Trail from Greathouse Park west to Hollywood Ave. Just west of South Garland
Avenue the trail must cross the Town Branch Creek. A bridge has been designed for this
location and competitively bid.
DISCUSSION:
The trail bridge will be 100 feet in length and constructed of maintenance free weathering steel
to match the other trail bridges throughout the city. In addition, the bridge will have a large
bowstring arch for enhanced aesthetic. A 20% contingency has been requested with this bridge
due to the very small chance that the bridge length will need to be extended to meet the
requirements of the flood impact determined by FEMA. If required, a change order will be
issued to lengthen the bridge utilizing the 20% contingency.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
Three bidders responded to the request for formal bids, Contech Engineered Solutions, LLC
was low bidder— see attached bid tabulation. Funding for the bridge purchase has been
budgeted through the Trail Development Capital Improvement Program. Half of the funding for
the Town Branch Trail is provided through a grant from the Walton Family Foundation.

form deck suitable for pouring a reinforced concrete slab. The form deck shall have a 1.5% cross
slope for proper drainage. The form deck shall be designed to carry the dead load of the wet

loading. The wheel loads for this vehicle shall be 2,000 pounds and 8,000 pounds for the front
and rear axles, respectively. The wheel loads shall be assumed to be spaced 6 feet apart
transversely. The distance between the front and rear axles shall be assumed to be 14 feet. The
truck shall be positioned 2 feet from the face of the truss to determine the distribution of
loading carried by each truss.
All of the concentrated or wheel loads shall be placed so as to produce the maximum stress in
each member being analyzed. Critical stresses need be calculated assuming there is only one
vehicle on the bridge at any given time. Assumptions that vehicles only travel down the center
of the bridge or that the vehicle load is a uniform line load will not be allowed. A vehicle impact
allowance is not required.
3.4 WIND LOAD: Bridge shall be designed for a wind load of 35 pounds per square foot on the full
vertical projected area of the bridge as if enclosed. The wind load shall be applied horizontally
at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the structure. The wind loading shall be considered
both in the design of the lateral load bracing system and in the design of the truss vertical
members, floor beams and their connections.
The effect of forces tending to overturn structures shall be calculated assuming that the wind
direction is at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the structure. In addition, an upward force
shall be applied at the windward quarter point of the transverse superstructure width. This
force shall be 20 pounds per square foot of deck.

The deflection of the floor system members (floor beams and stringers) due to service
pedestrian live load shall not exceed 1/360 of their respective spans. Deflection limits due to
occasional vehicular traffic shall not be considered
4.2 VIBRATION: The fundament frequency shall meet the requirements of the AASHTO LRFD Guide
Specifications for the Design of Pedestrian Bridges (latest edition).
