As a subconsultant, LONCO, Inc. was asked to prepare plans, special provisions and cost estimates
for a new structure to carry US Highway 6 over the proposed Pawnee Creek Overflow Interceptor
Channel. This project is for the City of Sterling, in Logan County, Colorado. LONCO, Inc. teamed
with ICON Engineering, who was the prime consultant and performed the hydraulic analysis, and
Ground Engineering, who performed the geotechnical study. The design and construction documents
underwent a full review by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), since construction
costs will be paid for by a combination of Local, Federal -Aid and FEMA funds. In addition, CDOT
will own and maintain the bridge and roadway upon completion of the project.
The scope of work includes the design and construction documents for a 160 foot long by 89 foot
wide, two span weathering steel girder bridge; 1000 feet of asphalt approach roadways; median
drainage; construction staging; and construction traffic control; as well as other required work.

Landcraft Communities is developing a large housing project in Commerce City. LONCO was hired
to design an aesthetically pleasing structure while coordinating with the developer's other design
professionals. LONCO worked with the developer's hydraulics engineer to design a bridge
configuration with the minimum span that would meet FEMA requirements. The resulting span
(120' clear) required modification to the proposed roadway profile due to the required structure
depth. The resulting weathering steel plate girder bridge met the architectural requirements of the
project, the City of Commerce City's requirements and the Developer's schedule. LONCO also
assisted the developer by soliciting bids from three qualified bridge contractors, reviewing the low
bid and providing construction phase engineering.

Washington Street Pedestrian Bridge Reconstruction
Thornton, CO

Thornton, CO
Eduardo Moreno, P.E.
303-538-7387
The existing pedestrian bridge was constructed in the mid 1970s to provide a safe path between the
high school and middle school over Washington Street. The City began to have maintenance
problems with the bridge many years ago and there have been many alterations and studies
performed on the bridge. LONCO was given the task of producing plans for a bridge rehabilitation
that would be serviceable for at least 20-years. Another key constraint for the project was the
schedule. The school district could only have the bridge out of service during their summer break.
The need to meet ADA requirements was also considered as part of this project. The LONCO team
provided input to the City Attorney on this issue.
The girder over Washington Street has a span length of almost 115 feet. To achieve this span,
LONCO designed a modified box girder. The prestressed concrete box girder was modified to have
precast deck overhangs for a total superstructure width of 8-feet. The remaining two spans are
precast double -tees to match prior rehabilitation work. To complete the superstructure replacement,
LONCO produced details for modifying the existing piers to accept the new girders (the original
superstructure is constructed with precast single tees). We also designed modifications to strengthen
the foundations. Designing for improved drainage and use of a concrete sealer on the walking
surface are other methods LONCO included to enhance the long-term serviceability of this important
structure.

Eagle River Pedestrian Bridge

Town of Eagle
Eagle, CO
Tom Gosiorowski, P.E.
970-328-6678
This project involved a two-phase approach to improving the Town's trail system. The overall goal is
to connect the existing sidewalk adjacent to Eby Creek Road (Route 70F) to sidewalks at the U.S. 6
roundabout. The project is Federally funded and involves CDOT oversight. The first phase included
design of the foundations for a prefabricated steel truss pedestrian bridge, connecting trail and
drainage improvements. The new pedestrian bridge over the Eagle River (132' Span) eliminates the
need for pedestrians to cross on the shoulder of the adjacent CDOT vehicle bridge, which will
improve safety.
The second phase involves developing the remaining portion of trail to connect the bridge to existing
sidewalks to the north. There are a number of complex constraints to achieving this goal. These
constraints include a Union Pacific Railroad bridge, plans for future widening of Eby Creek Road,
existing utilities and an existing lumberyard. The lumberyard is located at the top of a steep slope,
which rises from the edge of the existing sidewalk. The sidewalk ends abruptly to the north of the
Union Pacific overpass. The proposed trail has to stay outside of the future widening, without
creating slope stability problems for the lumberyard located above. Cutting a trail underpass through
the existing railroad slope paving is also required to achieve the project objective. LONCO detailed a
complex system of retaining walls and a screen structure under the railroad bridge to achieve these
goals.

Baseline Road Trail Underpass at US36 Interchange — Boulder, CO. Project Manager. As part
of the Baseline Road/US 36 Interchange Improvement Project, this underpass was needed for
pedestrians and bicyclists to safely cross the extremely high traffic volumes on Baseline Road.
Precast and cast -in -place options were considered because of traffic impacts and the timing of
construction. The final structure resulted in a pleasing aesthetic structure with significant use of
landscaping, rock walls and colored concrete.
Bridge Overload Permitting Project — Denver, CO. Principal. This project included a field
evaluation of 205 minor structures in Denver. A report was prepared for each structure with
photos and recommendations for maintenance. The inventory results along with the rest of the
report information were then prepared in a format to insert into Denver's GIS Database.
Light Rail Bridge Inventory Project — Denver, CO. Principal. The Regional Transportation District
(RTD) retained LONCO to perform a re-evaluation of the 4 bridges at Speer, Santa Fe and
Kalamath, and Alameda. The prior evaluation was performed in December of 1996. Existing
structural and geometric field evaluations were performed at each bridge and conditions were
recorded. Reports were developed which included an Executive Summary of Conclusions and
Recommendations, Maintenance Report, NBI Report, PONTIS Report, Sketches, and Photographs.
These reports were submitted to RTD.
Main Street Viaduct — Pueblo, CO. LONCO's involvement with this multiple award -winning
project started with the submittal for funding from the Colorado Special Gas Tax Funds. This
involved an estimate of the total project cost, explanation of the need to replace the existing
structure, and preparation of the funding application to the Colorado Municipal League.
The new viaduct is an 800-foot, six -span, bridge over 12 railroad tracks, the Arkansas River,
and "B" Street. The structure was the second of its kind in Colorado to utilize precast bulb -tee
girder segments, which were in span spliced. The projects urban setting added complexities in
the need to acquire right-of-way, demolition of the existing steel truss structure and erection of
the new bridge immediately adjacent to businesses and accesses. The project included
coordination with numerous agencies, including utility and railroad companies, the Corps of
Engineers, the Conservatory District, St. Charles Mesa Water District, recreational clubs which
utilize the river trails, and Main Street property and business owners.

span (120' clear) required modification to the proposed roadway profile due to the required
structure depth. LONCO worked with the developer's roadway designer to achieve a street
profile that would meet project requirements without compromising the property development,
which was already well advanced. The resulting weathering steel plate girder bridge met the
architectural requirements of the project, the City of Commerce City's requirements and the
Developer's schedule. LONCO also assisted the developer by soliciting bids from three qualified
bridge contractors, reviewing the low bid and providing construction phase engineering.
Cherry Street Bridge over Cherry Creek — Glendale, CO.
Project Bridge Engineer
LONCO served as the prime consultant on the Design -Build Team for the replacement of the
Cherry Street Bridge over Cherry Creek and approach roadways in Glendale, Colorado.
Together with the architectural sub -consultant, LONCO has had two years of extensive
interaction with the City Staff and Council to discuss multiple iterations of the design theme.
Final aesthetic guidelines for this signature project included the incorporation of streetscape
elements, such as accent lighting, plazas, planters and benches, decorative walls, pilasters and
railings. Brick facades overlook belvederes on the bridge structure and waterway, with bank
landscaping incorporating a hike/bike trail, which crosses underneath the structure. This urban
project also included traffic analysis, safety, environmental issues, traffic signal design for two
intersections, phased bridge construction, roadway widening and realignment, as well as path
and storm sewer realignments. Coordination between the Denver Parks and Traffic
Departments, the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD), and the Corps of
Engineers was essential. LONCO was instrumental in establishing preliminary design concepts,
working together with the architectural consultant and the City Council.
Wilson Avenue Bridge over Big Thompson River — Loveland
Project Engineer, Construction Observation
This project for the City of Loveland replaces an aging pair of parallel bridges, which carry
Wilson Avenue over the Big Thompson River. The existing roadway was on a sharp horizontal
curve, drastically reducing the design speed of this major arterial. The gore point, where the
roadway divided to pass over the separated structures, introduced another hazard. To diminish
the impact of these hazards, the LONCO team designed a longer vertical curve, created a new
horizontal alignment, and replaced the structure with a single two -span bridge. The Big
Thompson River is a large waterway, historically known for devastating floods. The existing
bridge opening was hydraulically inadequate, causing active scour at the abutments and forcing
flow over the approach roadway. This caused an unsafe condition for emergency vehicles
utilizing the road. A larger bridge opening was required to reduce road overtopping. The design
balanced roadway geometric and hydraulic improvements with bridge cost, to contain the work
within the available project budget.
Remington and Welch Street Bridges - Fort Collins, Colorado
Project Manager
During the summer of 1997, the City of Fort Collins experienced a devastating flood. The
normally placid Spring Creek washed away the approach roadway on both ends of the
Remington Street crossing. The Welch street crossing survived the flood but was shown to be
hydraulically inadequate to meet the City's requirements. Together with the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), the City secured partial funding and assembled a design team.
As part of that team LONCO developed plans for two 30-foot clear span bridges meeting all
requirements from FEMA and CDOT. Besides being a tremendous improvement in hydraulic
capacity, LONCO's design provided rebuilt roadways and neighborhood access.

Bridge Overload Permitting Project — Denver, CO. Project Manager/Project Engineer. This
project included a field evaluation of 205 minor structures in Denver. A report was prepared for
each structure with photos and recommendations for maintenance. The inventory results along
with the rest of the report information were then prepared in a format to insert into Denver's GIS
Database.
Bridge Inventory Evaluation - Colorado Springs, CO. Project Engineer. Because of
extremely short notice by a house mover, information on loadings and truck configurations were
faxed to LONCO to evaluate the Bijou Street bridge's capability to carry the described overload.
A capacity rating was performed and determined that the bridge could adequately carry the load
with several restrictions.
Light Rail Bridge Inventory Project — Denver, CO. Project Engineer & Field Crew Chief. After
three years of service, the RTD retained LONCO to perform an evaluation of the 4 bridges at
Speer, Santa Fe and Kalamath, and Alameda. Existing structural and geometric field
evaluations were performed at each bridge and conditions were recorded. Reports were
developed which included and Executive Summary of Conclusions and Recommendations,
Maintenance Report, NBI Report, PONTIS Report, Sketches, and Photographs. These reports
were submitted to RTD.
29 Road Bridge / Redlands Parkway Study - Mesa County, CO. Project Engineer. This
project investigated the feasibility of removing the sidewalks and increasing the number of traffic
lanes on an existing steel box girder bridge. Also considered was the feasibility of adding a
cantilevered sidewalk.
South Platte River Bridge Overload Evaluation — Lakewood, CO. Project Engineer. When
the old trail bridge over the South Platte River washed out after the Buffo Creek flood, a new
bridge was constructed upstream. A 148,000 lb Linkbelt crane was required to set the new
bridge in place. An existing Jefferson County bridge had to be utilized in order for the crane to
be located to the construction site. A capacity evaluation was performed which concluded that
the crane could be driven over the existing county bridge safely. A report of conclusions and
results was prepared and presented to the foundation.
Bridge Overload Evaluations — Town of Vail, CO. Project Engineer. Two large trucks
weighing 156,000 lb and 256,000 lb., carrying cables for a new gondola system at Vail traveled
from Houston, Texas to Vail, Colorado. No details of the trucks' axle weights and spacing were
available until they passed through the weigh scales in Trinidad. The truck configurations were
faxed to LONCO, where capacity evaluations for the ability of two town bridges to carry these
trucks were performed. The analysis determined that only one bridge was capable of carrying
the loads adequately as long as certain speed and driving restrictions were performed. The
results of the analysis were passed on to the town engineer prior to the trucks arriving in Vail so
that a special route could be established for the trucks through town and to the gondola
construction area.

Scope of Services:
Update the existing inventory of bridges by
evaluating the newly constructed structures
since the previous inspections.
LONCO will work with the City to update their
inventory of minor structures. Minor structures are
bridges with a clear span of less than 20 feet.
These structures do not qualify for State funding.
Bridges with clear spans greater than 20 feet are
generally inspected under the CDOT Bridge
Inspection Program. LONCO will work with the
City to identify the minor structures, which have
been added to the City's inventory (either new or
annexed) since the previous inspections.
LONCO's experience with minor structure
inspection in general and with the City of Fort
Collins in particular will greatly facilitate this task.
New structures will be identified, inspected and
rated. Reports for these new structures will
provide the following elements:
➢ Maintenance Report with a list of
recommended repairs, categorized as
"Urgent", "Routine" and "Safety Repairs
Required" with an opinion of probable
cost for these repairs.
➢ Load Rating Summary Sheet including
posting requirements.
➢ Structure Inventory and Appraisal Sheet
(State of Colorado DOH format, Form No.
422), which includes the sufficiency
rating.
➢ Pontis Report (Pontis is the nationally
recognized Bridge Management System
that is used by CDOT)
➢ Bridge Sketch including a plan, elevation
and section view.
➢ Digital photographs including shots of
specific areas requiring repair.
➢ Channel Cross Section sheet where
applicable.
➢ Bridge Rating Calculations when
applicable.
➢ Immediate notification of any critical
bridge condition encountered in the field.
The electronic information for the above reports
can be given to the City at their request. At the
City of Fort Collins
Bridge Inspection, Maintenance and Repair Program
Proposal P-967
conclusion of inspecting and evaluating the
bridges, an executive report will also be provided.
LONCO routinely prepares reports of this nature
for the Colorado Department of Transportation,
for qualifying structures, as well as minor structure
reports for a number of Cities and Counties.
Examine existing reports, re -inspect and
evaluate select structures.
With the City's guidance, LONCO will review the
reports for the existing structures and determine
which bridges should be re -inspected and re -rated.
A new report, following the same format as above,
will be developed for each structure that is re-
inspected or re -rated. An example report is
provided in the "Other Information" section of this
proposal.
Make recommendations for an annual
maintenance plan and estimated costs
associated with such a plan.
Results from the new bridge reports and re -
inspections will be added to the database of
existing minor structures in the City of Fort
Collins. Due to the previous work LONCO has
performed for the City, this database will be easy
to update. This database will then be used to assist
in prioritizing the repair requirements of the City's
bridges. LONCO will then work with the City to
finalize this list of repair priorities. Using the
repair priorities list and opinion of repair costs;
LONCO will develop an annual maintenance plan
to meet the City's budget and repair goals.
The opinion of probable costs derived from the
Maintenance Report can be calibrated to the City
of Fort Collins cost structure. It is recognized that
the maintenance costs presented in the
Maintenance Report for the CDOT administered
qualifying bridges are based on state-wide
averages. For the minor structure inspection
program, the CDOT requirement does not have to
be followed. LONCO can prepare a maintenance
cost matrix for use in the Maintenance Report
based upon information provided by the City of
Fort Collins from most recent bid tabs or other
cost information you may have. LONCO can also

recalculate the maintenance costs from the CDOT
qualifying bridge reports if so desired.
LONCO has performed annual maintenance plan
services for a number of agencies, in addition to
the work previously performed for the City of Fort
Collins. One recent example was the rehabilitation
of the newly annexed bridge on Prospect Road
over Lake Canal. This bridge (PROSPT-
EFRONTRD) was last inspected in 1999 by a
different firm with a Sufficiency Rating of 64.8.
After LONCO inspected it we determined the
south half of the structure to be unsafe with a new
Sufficiency Rating of 2 (Structurally Deficient). In
close coordination with the City of Fort Collins
and with a very short window for construction
before the canal was to be filled, LONCO
completed a design to rehabilitate the structure and
worked with the contractor to complete
construction in the required timeframe. The entire
design and construction process to replace the
south half of the bridge was completed in about 3
weeks. This among other projects involved
inspection, development of a design repair,
prioritizing repairs, development of contract
documents and supervision of construction.
Prepare engineered drawings and
specifications for the repair of bridges.
Based on the City's budget and prioritized repair
list, LONCO may be directed to develop drawings
and specification, suitable for bidding, for the
recommended repairs. If soil testing is required,
LONCO will subcontract to a qualified
Geotechnical Engineering firm or work with a
firm separately contracted to the City.
LONCO has performed numerous structure repair
projects, including several in the City of Fort
Collins. Our experience allows us to quickly
develop repair procedures and construction
documents.
In addition to design services, LONCO will
provide services during construction including
shop drawing review and site visits. Verbal and
written comments along with sketches, to clarify
repair procedures or recommendations will be
provided to assist the owner or contractor.
City of Fort Collins
Bridge Inspection, Maintenance and Repair Program
ProposalP-967
Additional Bridge Design Services and
Consultation.
In addition to the design services associated with
the annual maintenance plan, LONCO will be
available to assist the City by providing other
miscellaneous bridge consultation. These services
could include review of bridge and culvert plans
developed by others. LONCO will also be
available to answer the Owner's questions on
miscellaneous bridge topics and to make site
inspections with the Owner for more serious
emergencies and repairs.
LONCO will also be available to assist the City of
Fort Collins to prepare submittals for qualifying
bridge replacement to the Transportation Selection
Committee. This committee is now in the process
of being reformed and will be considering requests
for bridge replacement funding in the near future.
Converting Existing Bridge Inventory
Information into a GIS Database.
A huge benefit of choosing LONCO is that all of
the City's current bridge information is already in
electronic format. LONCO will be able to use the
most current information and format the
information into the City's GIS database. An
example would be to submit either images of the
bridge data information (scanned, JPEG or PDF)
or submit the actual information (such as MS -
Word Documents, Excel Files, Dbase, MS -Access
or Auto -Cad). Please refer to "Other Information"
at the back of the proposal for some examples.
LONCO has already been converting the
qualifying bridge information in Pontis into
ArcView format for several entities. We are in the
process of upgrading Bridge Management
Applications to the new ArcView 9.0 format.
LONCO has worked with CDOT to transfer Pontis
information to the entities and to train personnel to
use the Pontis application to develop cost/benefit
reports, recommended maintenance reports, and
other managerial reports. Walt Mystkowski,
previously the CDOT manager that developed
Pontis for Colorado, is available at LONCO to
perform this Pontis integration for the City of Fort
Collins.

Bridge Rehabilitation Projects
City of Fort Collins — East Prospect Road
Bridge Rehabilitation
On an emergency basis, LONCO provided design
and construction phase services to replace a
portion of an existing bridge that had just been
found in urgent need of repair. This concrete
bridge over an irrigation ditch needed significant
rehabilitation and the work needed to be
completed in a very short timeframe to avoid
impacting ditch operations. LONCO worked
closely with City personnel and the contractor to
successfully accomplish this objective.
Routt County — Mad Creek Bridge
Rehabilitation
LONCO provided design and construction phase
services to remove and replace a badly
deteriorated precast box girder. Also included in
this project was the design of a new steel
walkway and bridge and guardrail enhancements.
City of Colorado Springs — Cimarron St.
Bridge
After LONCO inspectors found certain
substructure elements in urgent need of repair,
LONCO was selected to develop a complete,
prioritized rehabilitation program for the
Cimarron Street Bridge, which carries a major
arterial roadway into downtown Colorado
Springs. The rehabilitation program was designed
to extend the life of the bridge for another ten
years while not jeopardizing its eligibility for
replacement funding.
Arapahoe County — Price Road Bridge
Rehabilitation
LONCO provided design and full time
construction phase services to widen an existing
bridge. The repairs included removal and
replacement of the existing concrete deck
including adding additional girders and widening
the substructure. Extensive modifications to the
approach roadway included adding approach
slabs and drainage improvements. The bridge rail
and guardrail were also dramatically improved.
An additional complicating factor was the need to
City of Fort Collins
Bridge Inspection, Maintenance and Repair Program
Proposal P-967
keep the bridge open to traffic, requiring phased
construction.
City of Thornton — Washington Street
Pedestrian Bridge Reconstruction
LONCO provided design and construction phase
services to completely replace three spans of an
existing pedestrian bridge. The original structure
utilized precast single tee girders that are no longer
commercially available. Extensive modifications were
required to allow the existing substructure to accept
the new double tee girders. Drainage enhancements
were incorporated into the design to improve
deficiencies inherent in the original design.
City of Englewood — Union Avenue Bridge
Rehabilitation
This project involved the structural rehabilitation of
an existing multi -span structure. Significant design
features included deck repairs, a new bridge railing
system and improvements to roadside barrier
protection. LONCO performed and extensive field
investigation to identify needed repairs. The bid
documents ere based primarily on field measurements
made during this investigation.

level to communicate the results of the evaluations in order to maintain safety of the off -system
infrastructure for the public. Reports generated include: Executive Summary of Conclusions and
Recommendations, recommendations for posting or other restrictions, Maintenance Report, Load
Capacity Report, NBI Report, PONTIS Report, Sketches, Photographs, Scour Report, and Rating
Calculations. A hardcopy version of the reports along with updated maps showing the bridge
locations is submitted to CDOT and to the Entities. An additional electronic version is submitted to
CDOT.
During the course of the project LONCO is directed to perform emergency response to bridges that
suffer damage due to scour or traffic impacts, special capacity ratings and other evaluations that are
needed to ensure the safety of the off -system bridges.

LONCO, Inc. served as the structural consultant for a steel truss pedestrian bridge over the Cache La
Poudre River, as part of the State Highway 14 Bicycle / Pedestrian Improvements project for the
City of Fort Collins. The project included the expansion of an existing trail system in the vicinity of
Mulberry Street (S.H. 14) and Lemay Avenue. The lack of sidewalks on the existing Mulberry Street
vehicular bridge over the river provided the need for a pedestrian bridge. The pedestrian structure is
a two span (165 ft.) prefabricated weathering steel truss bridge, with a 10 ft. wide concrete deck.
Two abutments and one pier constructed of reinforced concrete and founded on drilled caissons
support the steel superstructure. To place the pedestrian bridge 8 ft. away from the existing Mulberry
Street Bridge, the foundation locations were coordinated with the existing concrete wing walls and
buried utilities. During the design phase of the project, LONCO provided a design and construction
documents for the pedestrian bridge that included details for the concrete substructure and the
performance specification for the prefabricated steel superstructure. LONCO was later retained by
the City of Fort Collins to provide construction services for the bridge, including shop drawing
review and site visits. While the trail improvements are still in progress, the pedestrian bridge is
complete and waiting for use by the public.

After LONCO inspectors found certain substructure elements in urgent need of repair, LONCO was
selected to develop a complete, prioritized rehabilitation program for the Cimarron Street Bridge,
which carries a major arterial roadway into downtown Colorado Springs. The rehabilitation program
was designed to extend the life of the bridge for another ten years while not jeopardizing its
eligibility for replacement funding.
