The County is seeking a qualified Consulting firm to provide civil engineering and environmental services for the Pleasant Way Bridge Replacement Project. The project will consist of completely replacing the existing structure and roadway approaches with a new 2 lane concrete bridge and bridge approaches meeting current design standards. The existing bridge is a one lane single span army steel pontoon sections (2 by 10, repurposed as elevated superstructure units) with an reinforced concrete deck and timber sidewalks on reinforced concrete seat type abutments with monolithic wingwalls, founded on spread footings. The Pleasant Way bridge is being replaced because it is rated as Structurally Deficient Status per the bridge inspection report for a “Fracture Critical Inspection”. The bridge is listed in the Highway Bridge Program (HBP) and will be funded in part through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the County. Consulting firm services must comply with the latest requirements of the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM), Federal, State, and local regulations.
