surveys
6. Install monitoring instrumentation:
a. Core bridge deck for borings and instrumentation. Drill 2 borings from bridge deck,
obtain soil and rock samples, and install two multipoint rod extensometers.
b. Drill a core hole through the length of one battered drilled shaft supporting the
bridge abutment, check the concrete for open cracks, and install one single -point
borehole extensometer anchored in the bedrock below the tip of the shaft.
C. Install four to eight electronic tilt sensors on the bridge piers, abutment and intake
tower and route cables to bridge deck.
d. Core bridge deck for borings and instrumentation and install permanent protective
casings from bridge deck to soil cement slope protection. Drill two borings from
bridge deck, obtain soil and rock samples, and install two slope inclinometers
7. Obtain initial readings of all installed instruments as part of the installation.
8. Perform pressure -swell, unconfined compression and index properties tests on selected
samples of soil and rock.
9. Perform heave and settlement analyses and develop foundation deformation properties for
use in the structural analyses
10. Train local staff person to obtain periodic readings of all instruments. It is assumed the CITY
staff will take the reading during the monitoring period
11. Develop a memorandum report of the initial investigation, including lab testing results from
samples. This will include a monitoring plan for the subsequent 12 months and trigger
points for the installed instrumentation.

and needed modeling for design of repairs, Phase 1B.
Phase 16—Additional Investigation and Modeling (NTE $170,400)
Phase 1B will require written authorization from the CITY before beginning.
The scope of Phase 1B may be eliminated or reduced if Phase 1A has been able to determine the

2. Develop a finite element model for analysis of the structure.
3. Perform drained direct shear tests on selected samples of soil and rock.

evaluate the proposed repair alternatives. Develop criteria and parameters to be used for
design of repairs.
5. Calibrate the finite element model to reflect the measured force on the intake tower and
the results of the updated survey. The model will be used for the development of concepts
for alternate repair options at end of monitoring period
6. Use the model and the lab results from the initial assessment field work and survey to
determine whether the movement is due to heave associated with swelling of the shale.
7. Use the finite element model to develop up to two conceptual alternatives for repair.
8. Prepare a final report that describes the additional testing, modeling, and the evaluated
repair alternatives. Include a recommendation for repair or continued monitoring along
with estimates of probable construction costs for all alternatives.
