13.3.9.2 Wind Events
The Design-Builder shall complete wind analysis and design considering both a high-probability
Serviceability Event and a lower-probability Aerodynamic Stability Event. At a minimum, the wind
analysis and design shall consider the following two scenarios:
1) Bridge railings required by the Contract Documents
2) A 10-foot-high fence with a 2-inch opening mesh located on each exterior side of the Main Span Bridge,
regardless of whether a railing or fence is used that would decrease loading effects. If a fence or railing
with larger loading effects than a 10-foot high fence with a 2-inch mesh opening is used by the Design-
Builder, then the larger loading effects shall be designed for.
The Serviceability Wind Event shall have a probability consistent with a mean return period of 100 years as
defined in ASCE/SEI 7, but the resulting mean-hourly wind speed shall not be less than specified in Exhibit
2-13-B (Wind Climate Data). During all phases of construction, a 20-year mean return period shall be

wind event. If the bridge shows any sign of aerodynamic instability during the Serviceability Wind Event or
does not meet deck acceleration limits when subjected to these wind velocities, the cross-section or other
bridge design features shall be revised. All revisions are subject to Port Approval. During construction,
temporary remedial measures to counteract any distress shall be implemented as required without obstructing
Back Channel navigation.

• Include an executive summary describing the overall approach to achieving the required design service
life for the primary load carrying members, including stay cables, of the Project bridges.
• Identify each bridge component with the corresponding environmental exposure conditions for each
component (e.g., buried, submerged, exposed to atmosphere, exposed to corrosive chemicals). Some
elements may be exposed to more than one environmental condition (e.g., foundations in water table,
foundations in area with petroleum contamination), which might require different corrosion
considerations for each exposure.
• Identify relevant degradation and protective mechanisms for each bridge component. Quantify
degradation processes and resistances to these processes with respect to time. Models shall use a
probabilistic approach to evaluate the time-related changes in performance depending on the component,
environmental conditions, and any proposed protective measures. Models shall be listed in the plan.
• Identify the expected design service life of each bridge component, based on the proposed material,
exposure condition, relevant degradation mechanism, and any proposed protective measures, taking into
account the proposed inspection/maintenance schedule. List any corrosion allowances and thresholds
used. Coordinate with the Operations and Maintenance Manual requirements elsewhere in the Contract
Documents. Include the level of reliability or probability of the predicted design service life of each
element as well as the expected interval of replacement or renewal of the protective measures within the
design service life duration (e.g., number of times to recoat paint that protects steel members).
• Explain what will be done during construction to ensure the highest quality products are achieved, (e.g.,
ensure uniform compaction of the concrete, adequate concrete cover, proper curing for the element, etc.).
• Summarize the above information, for each component, in a tabular format and perform an estimate of
life-cycle costs for the bridge. The life-cycle cost analysis for bridge components shall use a discount rate
of 2.9 percent per year to convert future costs to present worth.
Additional specific requirements for the Corrosion Protection Plan shall include:
• List of the manufacturers of all proposed coatings, inhibitors, sealers, and membranes
• Schedule for corrosion inspection of the bridge components
• Proposed maintenance schedule for items/materials that could be affected by corrosion
Direct electrical current and sacrificial materials (cathodic protection) shall not be used to mitigate for
expected corrosion effects.
For each Approved Corrosion Protection Plan, the Design-Builder shall prepare an As-Built Corrosion
Protection Report. The Accepted As-Built Corrosion Protection Report shall be included in the Operations

inspection access and maintainability during the initial design phase and provide best practices in the bridge
Released For Construction Documents and not delay this effort when developing these manuals.
The Design-Builder shall conduct Operations and Maintenance office and field training sessions with the
Port. The training shall, at minimum, review the contents of the Operations and Maintenance Manual. The
Design-Builder shall coordinate with the Port on the required attendees, schedule the meeting, provide a
