1. STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS d. Understanding of Need TTG has in -depth knowledge of Caltrans inspection procedures, BPMP guidelines as well as LAPM and LAPG. We have performed inspections of over 1,000 highway bridges, performed similar bridge maintenance scoping, bridge load- rating and HBP eligibility determination. Additionally, we have completed the development of BPMP for several other cities and counties and successfully obtained HBP funding for major rehabilitation of their bridges resulting in more than $200M in HBP funding for replacement/ rehabilitation projects. We have FHWA - certified bridge inspectors. This allows us to perform visual inspection of bridges, verify Caltrans reports on their noted conditions and take action on behalf of the agency to make necessary corrections. This capability also provides us to advantageously change the bridge inspection report in favor of a City if warranted. We have developed a unique in -house program to perform Sufficiency Rating (SR) calculations to verify, and if necessary, correct a Caltrans- reported condition rating which is a basis for determination of bridge funding eligibility. Our proposed approach and tasks necessary for successful completion of BPMP is as following: Task #1: Research Existing Records As we have been very successful in the past, we will be able to obtain Caltrans Bridge Inspection Reports (BIRIS) and the latest Condition Appraisal sheet from Structures Maintenance and Investigation (SM &I). We will also perform necessary research to find traffic data (ADT), record drawings and as -built of a bridge structure, rehabilitation /retrofit plans, roadway and channel from Caltrans, City, OCFCD and OCTA. We will review the latest inspection reports and note the important deficiencies as reported by Caltrans for planning inspections and reports of prior accidents on the bridge and their approaches.
