DATE: June 1811. 2020
SUBJECT: 2020-0510 — Clabber Creek Trail Bridge
CITY COUNCIL MEMO
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends award of Bid 20-56 and authorization of a contract with Art Thureson Inc.
in the amount of $40,100.00 plus all applicable sales taxes for purchase of a prefabricated
bridge for the Clabber Creek Trail.
BACKGROUND:
The City trail construction crew will move from Niokaska Creek Trail to the Clabber Creek Trail in
late summer of 2020. The next phase of Clabber Creek Trail construction will extend from the
Gary Hampton Softball Complex and Holcomb School east across Deane Solomon to Truckers
Drive as shown on the attached map.
DISCUSSION:
The Clabber Creek Trail will cross a small tributary west of Truckers Drive that is identified as
a streamside protected stream. To protect this stream, this bridge will be 50 feet in length to
completely span the waterside streamside protection zone and leave it untouched. The bridge
will be prefabricated from maintenance free weathering steel with arched railings to match
other bridges in the Fayetteville trail system.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
Five bidders responded to the request for formal bids on July 17th, 2020 and Art Thureson Inc.
was the lowest responsive bidder at $40,100 for the 50-foot-long bridge. Funds are budgeted
for the purchase of the bridge from the trail development program for the Clabber Creek Trail.

6. SUBMITTALS:
6.1 Submittal Drawings: The Bridge Manufacturer shall design the prefabricated bridges and provide
submittal drawings in accordance with these minimum requirements. Schematic drawings and
diagrams shall be submitted to the Engineer for their review after receipt of order. Submittal
drawings shall be unique drawings for each bridge, prepared to illustrate the specific portion of
the work to be done. All relative design information such as member sizes, bridge reactions, and
general notes shall be clearly specified on the drawings. Drawings shall have cross referenced
details and sheet numbers. All calculations and submittal drawings shall be sealed by a
Professional Engineer licensed in the State of Arkansas and provided to the City.
Abutment dimensions for the back wall height along with technical support shall also be
provided by manufacturer.
6.2 Structural Calculations: Structural calculations for the bridge superstructure shall be submitted
by the bridge manufacturer and reviewed by the approving engineer. All calculations shall be
signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer who is licensed in Arkansas. The calculations shall
include all design information necessary to determine the structural adequacy of the bridge.
The calculations shall include but are not limited to the following:
• All International Building Code (IBC),2009 design checks for axial, bending and shear
forces in the critical member of each truss member type (i.e. top chord, bottom chord,
floor beam, vertical, etc.)
• Checks for the critical connection failure modes for each truss member type (i.e.
vertical, diagonal, floor beam, etc.). Special attention shall be given to all welded tube
on tube connections.
•All bolted splice connections.
• Main truss deflection checks.
• U-Frame stiffness checks (used to determine K factors for out -of -plane buckling of the
top chord) for all half through or "pony" truss bridges.
• Deck design.
The analysis and design of triangulated truss bridges shall account for moments induced in
members due to joint fixity where applicable. Moments due to both truss deflection and joint
eccentricity shall be considered.
Welder certifications in compliance with AWS standard qualification tests.
7. FABRICATION
7.1 Drain Holes: When the collection of water inside a structural tube is a possibility, either during
construction or during service, the tube shall be provided with a drain hole at its lowest point to
let water out.

7.2 Welds: Special attention shall be given to developing sufficient weld throats on tubular
members. Fillet weld details shall be in accordance with AWS D1.1. Unless determined
otherwise by testing, the loss factor'T' for heel welds shall be in accordance with AWS Table
2.8. Fillet welds which run onto the radius of a tube shall be built up to obtain the full throat
thickness. The maximum root openings of fillet welds shall not exceed 3/16" in conformance
with AWS D1.1 Section 5.22. Weld size or effective throat dimensions shall be increased in
accordance with this same section where applicable (i.e. fit -up gaps > 1/16")
The fabricator shall have verified that the throat thickness of partial joint penetration groove
welds (primarily matched edge welds or the flare -bevel -groove welds on underhung floor
beams) shall be obtainable with their fit -up and weld procedures. Matched edge welds shall be
"flushed" out when required to obtain the full throat or branch member wall thickness.
For full penetration butt welds of tubular members, the backing material shall be fabricated prior
to installation in the tube so as to be continuous around the full tube perimeter, including
corners. Backing may be of four tubes:
•A "box" welded up from four (4) plates.
• Two "channel" sections, bent to fit the inside radius of the tube, welded together with
full penetration welds.
• A smaller tube section which slides inside the spliced tube.
• A solid plate cut to fit the inside radius of the tube.
Corners of the "box" backing, made from four plates, shall be welded and ground to match the
inside corner radii of the chords. The solid plate option shall require a weep hole either in the
chord wall above the "high side" of the plate or in the plate itself. In all types of backing, the
minimum fit -up tolerances for backing must be maintained at the corners of the tubes as well as
across the "flats".
BEARINGS:
8.1 Bearing Devices: The bridge manufacturer shall be responsible for the design of the bearing
devices. The manufacturer shall have the option of using steel bearing, elastomeric bearings, or
a combination thereof. The bearing devices shall be designed for the anticipated temperature
differentials and for the actual rotations of the bearings due to dead and live load rotations.
8.2 Anchor Bolts: The bridge manufacturer shall determine the number, diameter, minimum grade
and finish of all anchor bolts. The anchor bolts shall be designed to resist all horizontal and uplift
forces to be transferred by the superstructure to the supporting foundations including the
stream force. Engineering design of the bridge supporting foundation, including design of
anchor bolt embedments, shall be the responsibility of the foundation engineer. The bridge
manufacturer shall provide the anchor bolts for installation by the contractor in accordance with
the manufacturer's anchor bolt spacing dimensions.
Information as to bridge support reactions and anchor bolt locations shall be furnished by the
bridge manufacturer after receipt of order and after the bridge design is complete.
