Hands on all elements of the culvert boxes on the enclosed system; <br />2. Document seams /joints for leaks, spalls, delaminations, openings out of alignment or out of specification; <br />3. Document all spalls on abutments and piers providing sketches; <br />4, Document where a floor or deck exists and deficiencies on them with sketches; <br />5. Probing and depth soundings (if required) at substructure elements; <br />6. On structures like Greenward & Sherwood, document all rail /fence anchors and associated elements <br />for deficiencies, pullout, etc. <br />7. Perform a string survey on Windsor for deflections, movement, shape /bolt issues, etc. <br />8. Efforts on ODOT's new SMS have also required additional time to upload, document, inventory, <br />and inquire /reply to queries and issues that they are having within the system. <br />For the routine inspections, we are able to simply walk through and around structures noting any <br />outstanding elements and documenting those. We rate the items based on the full detailed sketches, <br />baseline notes, and previous condition ratings. If there is anything outstanding or noteworthy, we will <br />inspect more thoroughly those specific items. <br />Just as an FYI- we are currently less than our intial proposal (2010) for 13 structures. <br />I hope this helps with your council. <br />Jeffrey D.

Therefore it will be on <br />council agenda 2/3/15, 2/17/15, & 3/3/15. We will let you know when it's authorized. <br />
