Lake Cushman Bridge is a reinforced concrete girder frame bridge 200 feet long with 5 spans of lengths 12 ft, 53 ft, 70 ft, 53 ft, and 12 ft. The end spans are cantilevered. The substructure consists of four reinforced concrete bent piers, all of which are pile supported. End bents have 6 steel H-piles in a single line with a reinforced concrete cap. Interior pier bents have two lines of 6 steel H-piles each with a concrete cap supporting a solid shaft pier. The deck is reinforced concrete with no additional wearing surface.
The Lake Cushman Bridge was damaged during a winter storm in December, 2007. The Olympic National Forest intends to acquire by separate contracts:
(1) A prefabricated, portable bridge and approach ramps; and
(2) Installation of the prefabricated bridge superstructure and approach ramps.
The prefabricated, portable bridge superstructure and approach ramps will be made to the attached specifications and drawings. The steel superstructure will be fabricated in an AISC certified plant. A solicitation will be issued under FAR Part 12 for a commercial supply item.
The proposed method to install the prefabricated superstructure is to roll it over the existing bridge and launching it over the opening between the existing bridge and the existing ground. There is no vehicle access to the far side of the project. A solicitation will be issued under FAR Part 12 for a commercial service.
The Lake Cushman Bridge is located in Washington on the Olympic National Forest on the Hood Canal Ranger District in Mason County and further located in T. 23N., R. 5 W., Section 10. From Olympia, travel north on Hwy 101 to Hoodsport, then northeast on WA-119 North Lake Cushman Road to the intersection with Forest Road 24. Turn left at the T intersection onto Forest Road 24 and travel east until the intersection with Forest
Road 2451. The bridge is located at M.P. 0.2 on Forest Road 2451.
Industry comments are requested on the prefabricated bridge design and the proposed method of installation. The Olympic National Forest intends to issue solicitations in approximately 15 days.
