Contractors interested in performing protective coating and steel rehabilitation of the Mount Hope Bridge located in Jamestown, RI, are invited to bid on a project held by the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority.
Bids are due Aug. 23 with a contract award anticipated on Aug. 26.
Scope of Work
Contractors will rehabilitate the south approach girder spans of the Mount Hope Bridge, which spans the Mount Hope Bay.
The 6,129-foot-long suspension bridge opened in 1929 and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976. The structure previously received a $6.7 million contract for the cleaning and recoating of 183,000 square feet of structural steel surfaces in 2012.
The rehabilitation work consists of abrasive blast cleaning of the superstructure and substructure structural steel surfaces to a Near White finish (SSPC-SPC 10) and spot-power tool-cleaned to a Bare Metal standard (SSPC-SP 11).
Structural steel surfaces will also require application of a zinc-rich primer, epoxy or urethane intermediate and a polyurethane finish coating. The owner’s approved manufacturers are Ameron, Sherwin-Williams, International Paint and Carboline.
The existing coatings may contain lead and will require containment. Work will also include rehabilitation of steel members.
The awarded contractor will also need to possess SSPC-QP 1 and QP 2 certifications.
