PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The scope of the Napa Creek Z-Bar Repair project is meant to provide a design for the replacement of already installed items at the Napa Dry Bypass. The items already installed are steel bars and the concrete supporting the steel bars at the north and south entrances of the floodwall at McKinstry Street. The steel bars cross the sidewalk and road and are not in ADA or National Highway Standards compliance. The design provided here is to be used by a construction contractor.
The Corps of Engineers completed the construction of the Napa Dry Bypass Flood Control feature in Napa, California. One of the last construction activities in early June 2015 was the welding of two steel trapezoidal bars (bars) across the width of McKinstry Street at the location of the flood gates. The bars provide a seal along the bottom of the gates to prevent flood waters from seeping under the gates. Per National Highway Safety Standards for roadways, and ADA standards on sidewalks, no protrusion shall be allowed to be more than a half-inch. The bars are an inch and three-eighths high. The permanent welds will be broken and temporary bars will be installed. Since the construction of the bypass, the concrete below the steel bars is crumbling. The new bars cannot be installed into crumbling concrete. The design requires that the concrete below the bars be removed and replaced.
Detailed description of the work and services are located in the attached Statement of Work dated 7 February 2017.
