Stencil, Executive Officer; Mike Donnellon, Parks Facilities Maintenance and Development Chief Submitted: July 12, 2012 Subject: Approval, Independence Oaks Culvert Replacement INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY On June 2, 2011, Independence Oaks park staff made Facilities Maintenance aware of an asphalt road sink hole over the existing culvert for the headwaters of the Clinton River within the main entrance road. Exploration and emergency repairs were completed the next day by our blanket contract vendor, Ahern Construction, Inc., in the amount of $5,321.75. Upon completion of the exploration, the 36" split -seam culvert appears to be the original corrugated metal pipe installed by the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) prior to land ownership by Oakland County Parks and Recreation. Portions of the entrance drive, including this section are part of the old Hoyt Road roadbed. Exploration also revealed extensive areas of rust and failures at the connection point of the two halves of the split -seam culvert. Therefore, temporary repairs were completed until adequate repairs are determined. Over the years, preceding OCPR's acquisition in 1974, the area experienced high water levels over the culvert, upstream of the existing roadbed. Confirmation from the Water Resource Commissioner's staff indicate no hydrological studies have been completed for this area, therefore sizing of the culvert pursuant to Michigan Department of Environmental Quality requirements may not be attainable until a hydrological study can be performed. Since this culvert is located within the headwaters of the Clinton River, staff followed up the exploration with our blanket contract engineer, Environmental Consulting & Technology, Inc., to receive an initial budget proposal for the replacement of the culvert, including a design engineering proposal to complete the necessary hydrological study and construction drawings for the culvert replacement. On September 7, 2011, staff received Commission approval to proceed with the necessary hydrological study and engineering for the replacement culvert with an initial budget of $81,200. Once the engineering was completed based on MDEQ requirements, staff informed the Commission on June 6, 2012 that the Base Bid #1 engineering estimate increase due to MDEQ and Hydrological requirements for a new total of $113,000. This base bid included 17 unit costs, including the removal of the existing culverts, installation of a 12x4 box culvert, and approximately 120 LF of 30' wide replacement road with 24" base stabilizing undercut. Additionally, staff included the replacement of approximately 715 Linear feet of Independence Oaks Blvd. as Alternate 1- A to the culvert Base Bid for consideration, since this portion of the road continually fails due to poor soil conditions and will require replacement within the next 2-3 years. The original road was paved in FY1998 and began failing as early as FY2006, less than 8 years after completion. With the recommended base stabilizing undercut (road cross-section) provided by the geo-technical engineer, staff expects an 18- 20+ life expectancy for the new road. The engineer's estimate for this alternate is $336,000. 6 A-1 Page 2 Five Vendor proposals were received on May 24, 2012, at 3 p.m. for a Unit Base Contract. (A Unit Based Contact is a contract based on established unit pricing for goods and/or services. It would be used to enable revising costs if the scope of work changes.) These proposals were evaluated based on the following by a committee comprising of OCPRC Staff, Engineers and Purchasing: ® References 15% Experience/Qualification 25% Organization 20% Units/Fee 30% COMPANY DESCRIPTION Bidder #1 Diponio Contracting Bidder #2 Springline Excavating Bidder #3 Stante Excavating Bidder #4 VIL Construction Bidder #5 Z Contractors Shelby Twp., MI Detroit, MI Wixom, MI Sterling Heights, MI Utica, MI BASE BID #1 $156,188.07 $120,605.00 $147,638.10 $188,151.00 $189,184.20 ALTERNATE #1 -A $236,237.05 $220,782.00 $236,380.75 $280,498.00 $246,157.65 Combined Unit Cost Total $392,425.12 $341,387.00 $384,018.85 $468,649.00 $435,341.85 Overall Evaluation Rating 2.0 1.0 3.0 3.0 4.0 (1 = Highest, 4 = Lowest Unit Cost Rating 3.8 3.6 2.5 2.6 3.1 (1 = Highest Units, 5 = Lowest Units) Unit Variance Base Bid Unit Cost #7 - 2'x4' Box Culvert $81,000.00 $53,750.00 $48,242.00 $105,000.00 $90,000.00 Based on the committee's evaluation and Unit Cost Rating, staff proceeded to interview the top two vendors, Diponio Construction and Springline Excavating, in an effort to identify reasons for the Unit Variance, as listed above as well as lower unit costs for the alternate. This lump sum unit not only includes the box culvert, but also includes installation as well, including means and method for water diversion. To complete this project, it is anticipated that Independence Oaks Park will experience a four -week road closure starting September 4, 2012, to September 28, 2012, without complete closure of the park. A temporary park entrance will be established at the north gate of the park at Perry Lake Road, south of Oak Hill Road. Operational and project staff are making the necessary arrangements for this closure. As previously approved, this project has been budgeted within the FY2012 Capital Improvement Program Budget in the amount of $81,200. In light of the discussion at the July 11 2012 OCPRC meeting please find attach documentation from the engineers indicating the life expectancy for this type of culvert construction to be 70-100 years. ATTACHMENTS - Aerial Project Map - Engineering Report on Culvert Construction Life Expectancy 6 A-2 Page 3 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Upon completion of the interviews and receipt of a Unit Cost Breakdown of unit cost #7, staff recommends approval to award a contract to Springline Excavating in the Unit Base Bid #1 amount of $120,605.00, with a 10% contingency in the amount of $12,060.50 for a total base contract of $132,665.50. Staff further recommends consideration to approve and include within recommended base contract the Unit Base Amount of $220,782.00, for Alternate#1-A, with a 5% contingency in the amount of $11,039.10 for a total Alternate amount of $231,821.10, since the lower unit costs for this alternate represents an average costs savings of 16%, when all five vendor's unit costs are compared. With the above approval(s), staff will require approval to transfer the difference of the following items from the previously approved amount of $81,200, from the FY2012 Capital Improvement Program Plan Contingency to the CIP Project #1556: • Total approved amount from the above recommendation $364,486.60 • Surveying/Engineering & Geotechnical Investigation $27,000.00 • Temporary Operational Signage $5,000.00 • Total Project Costs $396,486.60 The remaining balance of the FY2012 Capital Improvement Program Contingency is $815,640.74. MOTION Move to approve a contract to Springline in the Unit Base Amount of $120,605.00 for Base Bid #1, with a 10% contingency in the amount of $12,060.50 for a total base contract of $132,665.50, as well as the transfer of $51,465.50 from the FY2012 Capital Improvement Program Plan Contingency to the CIP Project #1556. Iri73 Move to approve a contract to Springline for both Unit Base Bid and Alternate 1-A amounts of $341,387.00, with contingency in the amount of $23,099.60 for a total unit based contract of $396,486.60, as well as the transfer of $315,286.60 from the FY2012 Capital Improvement Program Plan Contingency to the CIP Project #1556. 6 A-3 =.

If you have could you forward it to Jeri and I as soon as possible. I have left a message with Mr. Blust this morning following up on the response. Ed, Sue & Dan, According to Mr. Blust, the RCOC will not use Box Beams for their bridges, due to flexibility issues with concrete flaking and exposing reinforcement mesh and wire. According to Pete Hill (ECT), Mr. Blust was going to draft and e-mail clarifying this and use of Box Culverts. (Pete, clarify if I have mis-spoke regarding your conversation with Mr. Blust) Once we receive this response, I would like to call a special meeting early next week to approve the project due to the project timeline and park operation schedule. I do not want to postpone installation into October since we have the Fall Car Show that would not be able to use the alternate park entrance route over gravel roads as well as October historically being a wetter portion of the year. 6 A-7 Base on the conversations at the commission meeting yesterday, I will be strongly recommending completion of the entire project, Base Bid and Altenlate. Laurie, Could you help Vicky and I set up this meeting, upon receipt of the RCOC Response.

Perrin, Jhaveri ABSTRACT As America's infrastructure ages, the risk of failures increases. Bridge corrosion, road and utility degradation are becoming an increasing concern for agencies across the United States. Culvert pipe failures under major roads throughout the United States are no different as these catastrophic failures have resulted in sinkholes, road damage and flooding. These incur great costs to: government agencies that have to fix/replace pipes at emergency rates private land owners who are often effected by flooding damage, and, motoring public in terms of user delays. Additionally, safety and liability issues also arise due to such failures. Actual replacement cost and user delay costs are often not considered in Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA). Therefore, a methodology for including these costs into a typical LCCA is recommended. As part of this report, all 50 United States and 7 Canadian agencies were surveyed regarding culvert failures and LCCA Issues. Of the 25 responding agencies, only three agencies applied some form of LCCA, while 15 agencies documented their failures on a cursory or memory basis. Several recent examples of failed culverts are reviewed here to demonstrate the costs and circumstances surrounding culvert failures. The study concludes that a national tracking of culvert failures would help agencies better understand the risks associated with failure. Tracking would also help in identifying trends as well as quantifying the costs associated with failures. Based on the tracked information, a risk factor could also be incorporated in future LCCA calculations. 6 A --10 TRB 2004 Annual Meeting CD-ROM Paper revised from original submittal. Perrin, Jhaveri 2 INTRODUCTION There have recently been a number of culvert failures in North America. Such sudden failures cause a road section to collapse, thereby creating a sinkhole. This poses a major safety risk, as well as tremendous disruption to traffic. The purpose of this paper is to: • quantify the economic implications of culvert failures including related user delay costs; • find out if the risk of failures is being considered as a selection criteria; and, • identify the need to document failures. User delay costs are attributed to highway users when delay occurs due to road closures and detours. Such costs can be significant and consideration should be given to incorporate them in Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA). Various types of pipe material have different life expectancies. As more culverts fail, a major concern is whether government agencies have a plan to monitor and replace culverts based on either inspection, or culverts reaching their expected life. Without a plan followed by action, failing culverts will have to be replaced at emergency rates instead of normal rates. By examining case studies involving emergency replacement instead of a normal replacement, an emergency replacement factor can be determined. This paper does not address the life expectancy issues in the industry, but instead identifies the user delay costs and replacement costs for an assumed life expectancy. This consequently allows a better comparison of pipe materials based on costs. Culvert pipes can be classified into two categories, flexible and rigid. Flexible pipes include plastic and a range of metal and metal -coated pipes. Rigid pipes include reinforced concrete pipe, non - reinforced concrete pipes and clay pipe. In flexible pipes, the majority of the structural strength comes from load transfer to the surrounding soils. In contrast, structural load on the rigid pipes is bore primarily by the pipe itself with a much smaller proportion of load transferring on the surrounding soil. While the specification for the type of culvert pipe to be installed resides with the governing agency, many agencies have not distinguished a qualitative difference between the types of pipe. The installation cost varies by pipe material and many agencies select the less expensive option. However, this may be a short-term decision that does not consider the long-term costs. Therefore, LCCA should be considered to determine the overall costs. In this study, all states in the United States and Canada were surveyed regarding their culvert practices. The surveys were used to develop an understanding of what procedure and criteria are employed by the various agencies in selecting the best suitable pipe material for their culverts. The surveys also attempted to gain an insight into the documentation practices employed by each agency to track the failures in their jurisdiction. Failure case studies were examined to assess the true costs of the installation of a culvert pipe during emergency circumstances as opposed to normal, planned installations. In any risk analysis, the pipe material must be considered. Once fixture culvert failures are documented and a statistical sample can be ascertained, a risk assessment can quantify the potential hazards and a risk factor can be assigned to each pipe material. This should not preclude the use of one pipe versus another but at least help in assessing the trade-offs between initial installation cost and future reliability/risk. LITERATURE REVIEW In typical LCCA, certain assumptions are made about the life of a pipe material. This is a contentious topic because an exact design life for each pipe material has not been defined. Certain agencies such 6 A-11 TRB 2004 Annual Meeting CD-ROM Paper revised from original submittal. Perrin, Jhaveri as the US Army Corps of Engineers, and American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and ASTM have made recommendations to help states and cities select culvert pipes, but each agency also assumes their own life expectancy based on experience or literature, The Missouri Department of Transportation [1,2] conducted a field evaluation of 3,897 culvert pipes including 1,642 reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) and 2,255 corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culverts. This study that stratified culverts by age identifying that 45.6% of the CMP pipes needed replacement whereas 0.3% of the RCP required attention. Some of the CMP deterioration could be attributed to a change in the pipe gauge. According to a Kansas Department of Transportation study [3], more rapid deterioration of CMP has been quantified since the late 1975s when standards changed to allow a lighter gauge metal in pipe construction. While the lighter gauge pipes may have had adequate structural support from surrounding soils, the change in standard was reported to lessen pipe design life by nearly 20 years because of less metal to corrode at the same corrosion rate. As these pipes reach the end of their useful life, agencies should replace them. If not, these pipes are destined to fail and create a traffic danger and congestion point. The number of agencies that are actually inspecting and tracking age/condition of culverts and performing maintenance/ replacement as needed should be explored. The United States Army Corps of Engineers [4] identified recommendations on pipe design life by material in a March 1998 report. The following are quotes from that report: • Service Life: "For major infrastructure projects, designers should use a minimum project service life of 100 years when considering life cycle design." • Concrete: "Most studies estimated product service life for concrete pipe to be between 70 and 100 years. Of nine state highway departments, three listed the life as 100 years, five states stated between 70 and 100 years, and one state gave 50 years." • Steel: "Corrugated steel pipe usually fails due to corrosion of the invert or the exterior of the pipe. Properly applied coatings can extend the product life to at least 50 years for most environments." • Aluminum: "Aluminum pipe is usually affected more by soil -side corrosion than by corrosion of the invert. Long-term performance is difficult to predict because of a relatively short history of use, but the designer should not expect a product service life of greater than 50 years." • Plastic: "Many different materials fall under the general category of plastic. Each of these materials may have some unique applications where it is suitable or unsuitable. Performance history of plastic pipe is limited. A designer should not expect a product service life of greater than 50 years." However, the survey discussed later in this paper shows a wide range of assumed life expectancy by pipe material used by these agencies. AASHTO, in its 1991 Model Drainage Manual [5] also documents the recommended practice for culverts selection and design. While general hydraulic design criteria is recommended, the AASHTO Drainage Manual also gives recommendations about the costs/risk analysis aspect of pipe material selection. This includes: • Material selection shall include consideration of service life that includes abrasion and corrosion. 6 A-12 TRB 2004 Annual Meeting CD-ROM Paper revised from original Submittal. Perrin, Jhaveri d • Culverts shall be located and designed to present a minimum hazard to traffic and people. • The detail of documentation for each culvert site shall be commensurate with the risk and importance of the structure. Design data and calculations shall be assembled in an orderly fashion and retained for future reference as provided for in the Documentation Chapter. • Culverts shall be regularly inspected and maintained. • The material selection shall consider replacement cost and difficulty of construction as well as traffic delay. • The selection shall not be made using first cost as the only criteria. • Select an alternative which best integrates engineering, economic and political considerations. • The chosen culvert shall meet the selected structural and hydraulic criteria and shall be based on: - construction and maintenance costs - risk of failure or property damage - traffic safety - environmental or aesthetic considerations - political or nuisance considerations - land use requirements The AASHTO Drainage Manual documentation supports the need to consider all aspects of costs, including traffic user delays and risk of failure. Field results are the primary measure in a risk assessment as it includes the pipe performance regardless of pipe material or installation abnormalities. If the installation procedures are improper this produces an inherent risk that can be accounted for by historic performance records. As construction inspection funding by government agencies is scarce, reliance on contractor's quality control procedures greatly impacts installation quality. Therefore, there is an inherent need to track failures and document pipe performance on a national level to identify the performance by pipe material. A typical consideration in cost analysis for culvert selection is material cost. Other costs include excavation, backfill, compaction, labor, traffic control, and road repair. When only pipe material costs are considered for an initial installation, the future implications for replacing the pipe are often neglected. PROPOSED LIFE CYCLE COST ANALYSIS This section describes a method developed to compute the total cost (T) of installing a culvert over a given time horizon (H), usually 100 years. The method is modified from an established Engineering Economics life cycle methodology [6]. The total cost (T) in Equation 1 is the sum of the culvert's installation costs (In(L)) for all installation within the horizon year, and the cost of associated user delay (D). Total Cost (T) = Installation/Replacement Cost (In(L)) + User Delay (D)............ Equation 1 Installation/Replacement Cost An explanation for ins tallation/replacement costs is given below and shown in equation la. The installation/replacement cost (In) is computed from the initial installation cost (II) based on the present value, and then projected at a discount rate (r) for any replacements during the time horizon H TRB 2004 Annual Meeting CD-ROM 6 A-1 3 Piper revised from original submittal. 0.

Why Pre -cast Concrete Box Culverts Precast concrete box culverts are one of the most versatile and cost effective pre -cast concrete products on the market today, meeting and exceeding the needs of a multitude of fast -paced construction projects. Flexibility in design and ease of placement lead to cost savings across the board. The uses for pre -cast concrete box culverts are endless. They can be used for underpasses, service tunnels, subways, outfalls, bridges, stream culverts, material handling, utility storage, chimneys, vertical storage, watertight holding tanks and more. Pre -cast concrete manufacturers offer a variety of standard box culverts as well custom designs. Additional features can be added by the producer to meet the exact needs of any project: toe walls, manhole openings, headwalls, wing walls, pipe openings, V-bottoms, keyed -ends, sloped -faced ends and water tight joints. Optional exterior coatings can also be applied at the plant reducing onsite construction. Pre -cast concrete box culverts can be produced in any size limited only by transportation weight. ASTM Specification C 1433, "Standard Specification for Manufacture of Pre -cast Reinforced Concrete Box Culvert Sections for Culverts, Storm Drains and Sewers," specifies design and manufacturing requirements to promote quality and durability. Pre -cast concrete box culverts have several advantages over competing materials. Superior strength and durability Availability and ease of installation Because pre -cast concrete box culverts are manufactured well in advance of installation, they are ready for transportation to the job site at a moment's notice. They are quickly installed in a matter of hours using a crane and a small crew. Backfilling can begin immediately rather than waiting several days or more for cast -in -place concrete to gain proper strength. Once backfilled, road construction can begin, greatly reducing the deviation of any associated lanes and congestion in the surrounding communities. Reduced weather dependency Pre -cast concrete increases efficiency because weather will not delay the manufacturing process in the pre -cast plant. In addition, weather conditions at the job site do not significantly affect the schedule. Conversely, forming and placing of concrete for cast -in -place applications can be delayed significantly due to poor weather conditions. Aesthetically pleasing Pre -cast concrete box culverts can also include spandrel and wing wall panels with a multitude of architectural finishes. Finishes commonly available are: steel form, textured form liner, exposed aggregate, acid etched, brick and sand blast. Each is distinctly different, providing specifiers and owners a broad choice in appearance. Architectural finishes compliment the surrounding environment as well as comply with local aesthetic requirements. 6 A-15 http://wAvNv.americanconcrete.com/c...

Other materials can deteriorate, experience greater creep and stress relaxation, lose strength and/or deflect over time. The load -carrying capacity of pre -cast concrete is derived from its own structural qualities and does not rely on the strength or quality of the surrounding backfill materials. Properly designed pre -cast concrete box culverts can easily support vehicular, aircraft and railway loads meeting AASHTO, FAA and AREMA specifications. Quality control Because pre -cast concrete products are produced in a controlled environment, they exhibit high quality and uniformity. Factors affecting quality typically found on a job site - temperature, improper curing, poor craftsmanship and material quality - are nearly eliminated in a plant environment. Pre -cast concrete products produced in a quality -controlled environment and installed with high -quality sealants offer a superior solution to water tightness requirements. Standard watertight sealants are specially formulated to adhere to pre -cast concrete, making watertight multiple -seam pre -cast concrete box culverts possible. Environmentally friendly Pre -cast concrete is nontoxic, environmentally safe and made from all -natural materials, making it an ideal material for use below grade or for the conveyance of water. Concrete has no proven ill effects on groundwater and surface water quality helping to preserve our natural water- resources. Economical By incorporating pre -cast concrete box culverts into your next project you will be sure to finish under budget. Fewer skilled laborers and overall man-hours will be required for the project, making pre -cast concrete box culverts ideal for meeting the needs of today's fast -paced construction projects. If you are spanning a small creek, designing a combined sewer overflow system or housing telecommunications equipment below grade, pre -cast concrete box culverts are the clear choice. Their versatility in design and modularity help make any project run smoothly, leading to overall cost savings.
