Background and Discussion:
The repairs to this pedestrian bridge are a result of a strike by an oversized load on IH-610. The load struck the bridge in September of 2024 and caused extensive damage to the prestressed concrete bridge beams. 18 beams span the width of the bridge and 17 of them were damaged in some capacity ranging from broken steel strands, concrete deformation and cracking, and cosmetic cracking requiring replacement. The strike left the bridge unusable by NRG and Houston Rodeo. This change order is to allow the contractor to complete the necessary repairs that were above and beyond what was known at the time this project was bid. Additional strands were severed, the fascia steel plate was larger than what was anticipated, and there were steel plates under the bridge that needed to be removed.
Steel Fascia: $92,040.00
Strand Splices: $67,000.00
Steel Panel Removal: $5,200.00
Additional VOH Beam Repair: $4,696.95
Expected Impact:
This Change Order allows us to complete the project and pay the contractor for work necessary to restore the bridge to a usable condition.
Alternative Options:
Not approving the change order would render the bridge unusable due to the additional repairs necessary to complete the project.
