STATE CONTROLLER: 12 Exhibit A Scope of Work Over the years, a number of bridge approaches have settled and are no longer at the proper elevation. This scope of work was developed to correct this occurrence and bring these approaches — and some of the concrete slabs going onto the approaches — back to the proper elevation. This work of raising the approaches is important towards maintaining a smooth ride and transition from the roadway surface to the bridge deck, thereby preventing damage to the bridge deck and the bridge components. CDOT currently has structures that would benefit from this work. These structures have either a Sleeper Slab under the approach slab or a T-Slab style of approach. As both styles are difficult to repair with traditional mud jacking, the preferred method of raising involves first drilling a series of 5/8-inch holes through the approach slab and through the sleeper slab, and then injecting a high - density polyurethane formulation between the concrete slabs and the sub -base. Use of this type of expansive foam allows for raising the approach gradually and therefore helps to reduce cracks and the possibility of raising the approach too high. Once an approach has been raised using the above method, a laser level will be used to ensure proper elevation has been achieved, and final elevation within '/4-inch of the proposed elevation - established profile stage using a laser transit. In performing the above services, the Contractor shall be responsible for any cracks, pavement blowouts and excessive pavement lifting which may result, and the Contractor shall be responsible for repair of any/all damage to the area resulting from this work, to the satisfaction of the Inspector, at no additional cost to the State. The Contractor is responsible for supplying all labor, tools, equipment and incidentals necessary for the acceptable completion of the work. CDOT will be responsible for traffic control. 13 REVISION OF SECTION 601 SLAB JACKING Section 601 of the Standard Specifications is hereby revised for this project as follows; Subsection 601.01 shall include the following: This work includes raising and supporting of concrete slabs. Subsection 601.03 shall include the following: The material used for raising concrete slabs shall be a water blown formulation of high density polyurethane conforming to the following or some product similar meeting CDOT approval. Property ASTM Test Value Method Density, lbs/ft', range D1622 without 3.75-4.25 conditioning Compressive Strength at yield D1621 without 60 point, kPa(psi) minimum conditioning Volume Change % of original D2126 0.0% (Temperature to be selected The polyurethane material shall reach 90% of full compressive strength within 15 minutes from injection. The Contractor at no additional cost to the project shall perform sampling and testing of the polyurethane material. The Contractor shall supply Certified Test Results for each lot used on the project prior to placement. Add subsection 601.051 immediately following subsection 601.05 which shall include the following: 601.051 Slab Jacking. Slabs shall be raised and supported in accordance with the following: (a) Equipment. The minimum equipment required shall be as listed below. The listing is a minimum and shall not preclude the use of additional equipment. (1) A pneumatic drill and an electric drill capable of drilling 16mm (5/8 inch) diameter holes. (2) A truck -mounted pumping unit capable of injecting the high density polyurethane formulation between the concrete pavement and the subbase and capable of controlling the rate of rise of the pavement. (b) Construction Methods. Experience. The Contractor shall have a minimum of five years of experience in using high density polyurethane material to raise concrete slabs (as demonstrated by completed job references). Preparation. A preliminary profile shall be performed to determine where and how much the slabs need to be raised. The profile shall be taken in each lane of the area to be raised. At least one profile shall be taken in the shoulders of the area to be raised. The plot of the preliminary profile shall be available to the Engineer prior to raising any slabs. 14 REVISION OF SECTION 601 SLAB JACKING Drilling. The injection holes shall be drilled in the following manner. A series of 5/8 inch holes shall be drilled at a maximum 2.4 meter (8 foot) intervals through the concrete. The exact location and spacing of the holes shall be determined by the Contractor. Injecting. The high density polyurethane formulation shall then be injected as required to raise the slab to the required elevations. The Contractor shall construct cofferdams (or other means) to insure that excessive material does not escape. The amount of rise shall be controlled by regulating the rate of injection of the high density polyurethane material. When the nozzle is removed from the hole, all excessive polyurethane material shall be removed from the area and the hole sealed with a compatible material. Warranty. The Contractor shall provide to the Engineer copies of warranties provided by the manufacturer and/or installer of the product. The Contractor shall be responsible for any pavement blowouts, new cracks or excessive pavement lifting which may result from the process and shall repair the damaged area to the satisfaction of the Engineer without additional cost to the project. Subsection 601.18 shall include the following: Slab Jacking will be measured by the pound of injected polyurethane material. 15 OPTION LETTER Exhibit B Date: State Fiscal Year: Option Letter No. SUBJECT: (Please indicate purpose by choosing one of the following) 1 - Option to renew only (for an additional term) 2 - Change in the amount of goods within current term 3 - Change in amount of goods in conjunction with renewal for additional term 4 - Level of service change within current term 5- Level of service change in conjunction with renewal for additional term In accordance with Paragraph(s) of contract routing number (FY) (A enc (Routing #), between the State of Colorado, Department of Transportation (agency name), (division name), and (contractor's name) the state hereby exercises the option for an additional term of (include performance period here) at a cost/price specified in Paragraph/Section/Provision , AND/OR an increase/decrease in the amount of goods/services at the same rate(s) as specified in Paragraph/Schedule/Exhibit The amount of the current Fiscal Year contract value is increased/decreased by ($ amount of change to a new contract value of ($ ) to satisfy services/goods ordered under the contract for the current fiscal year (indicate Fiscal Year).
