HBP BACKGROUND: HISTORY1967 1968 1970 1978 2005 2009 2012 2015

1967 Silver Bridge Collapse:

31 vehicles / 67 people into the Ohio River / 46 deaths

1968 National Bridge Inspection Standard (NBIS)

1970 Special Bridge Replacement Program (SBRP)

Historical HBP Intent: Keep Bridges Structurally Safe

7


HBP BACKGROUND: HISTORY1967 1968 1970 1978 2005 2009 2012 2015

1978 Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program:

Included funding for local bridges (including off-system)

1998 TEA-21:

HBRR: Categorical Eligibility = Funding

2005 SAFETEA-LU:

Last Federal Transportation Bill to Include an On-System Bridge Program

80s-Early 2000s: Focus on Seismic Retrofit Project Delivery

8


HBP BACKGROUND: HISTORY1967 1968 1970 2012 2015200920051978

2009 Bridge Program Challenges:

Difficulty Delivering the Off-System Bridge Program (Annual Waiver)

Local Seismic Retrofit Program was Mostly Complete

Unpredictable Bridge Projects: Are we going to deliver the program this year?

Response:

Open Programming for HBP Eligible Projects

Toll-Credits Implemented for 100% Funding for Off-System HBP (2010)

Goal: Improve Overall Bridge Program Delivery (Especially the Off-System Program)

Funding Amount: $289M / year

HBP BACKGROUND: HISTORY2012 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 20202009

10

2012 MAP-21:

Eliminated the “Functionally Obsolete” Classification

Eliminated the On-System Bridge Program

Retained the Off-System Bridge Program

Response:

California Kept the On-System Program at 2009 Funding Levels (NHPP + STPBG)

Highway Bridge Program

Status Quo: Eligibility = Funding, Continued to Program Functionally Obsolete Bridges

Too Early for Off-System Delivery Improvement


HBP BACKGROUND: HISTORY2015 2019 20202009

11

2015 Monitoring: Off-System Improvement – Consistent Delivery

2016 Challenges: Concerns About Bridge Program Backlog (20+ Years of Projects)

2016 Response: Sunset Eligibility of “Functionally Obsolete” & Low Water Crossing

Caltrans Receives High Volume of FO & LWC Applications @ Year End

2017 Response: Committee Works to Develop Project Prioritization Policy

Concepts: Scalable, Highest Priority Safety Issues are Funded First

2018 Response: Implement Project Prioritization Policy (LAPG 6.6)

Intended Result: Reduce Bridge Program Backlog

Annual Communication at Public Works Officers Institute Conference (2017-19)

2012 2016 2017 2018


HBP BACKGROUND: HISTORY20192015 2016 2017 20182012 20202009

12

2019 Challenges:

Project Cost Increases Overtake Backlog Reduction from 2018 Prioritization

Reason – Construction Cost Escalation

Caltrans DES Bridge Construction Cost Index: 2009 Index = 324 vs 2018 Index = 811

2019 Bridges Cost 2.5x More than they did in 2009, $289M x 2.5 = $723M per year

Reason – We are Building Bigger Bridges (25% More Deck Area since 2009)

Reason – Roadway, Aesthetics & Non-Bridge Costs

No Increase in Funding Amounts Since 2009 ($289M / year)


HBP BACKGROUND: HISTORY20192015 2016 2017 201820122009

13

2020 Response:

Efficiency / Quality: Caltrans Initiates Reform Policy Development

Needs: Committee Votes to Fund Bridge Needs Assessment

Communication: Local Representatives Increase Communication Effort with Stakeholders

2019 Challenges (Continued):LOCAL BRIDGE NEEDS

$4.9 Billion: Present Day Needs*

$600M* - $1.2B**: Annual Needs(*2016 LSRNA, **HBP Committee Estimate)

BRIDGE PROGRAM STATUS

$5.6 Billion: Programed HBP + Unfunded Requests

$289 Million Annual HBP Funding(No Increase Since 2009)

Growing Needs Correlate with Local RequestsDisparity Between Annual Funding & Estimated Annual Needs

2020

Like the Seismic Retrofit Era – WE Need to Take Action Now


Overall Objectives: Deliver the Projects Currently in the HBP

Fund Most Critical Structural Issues & Extend Bridge Life

Sustain the Program with Funding We Currently Have

HBP REFORM POLICY DISCUSSION

15


HBP REFORM POLICIESDiscussion Topic #1 / Policy #1:All projects must have a Field Review, Type Selection, Hydraulic Report, 65% and 95% Plans reviewed by Caltrans Headquarters and/or Structures Local Assistance

Intended Result: More consistent quality and predictable project scope, cost, and schedule determinations. Higher programming confidence.

16


HBP REFORM POLICIESDiscussion Topic #2 / Policy #2All bridges are only funded at the cost of the basic structural solution. No aesthetic treatments will be eligible for Highway Bridge Program (HBP) reimbursement (except Historic Bridge Projects). The HBP will not pay for signature structures.

Intended Result: Lower relative construction costs and a greater number of structural / safety issues resolved

17


HBP REFORM POLICIESDiscussion Topic #3 / Policy #3The HBP will not fund approach roadwork beyond what is necessary to build abutments. Approach roadway costs capped will be at a set percentage unless otherwise approved by HBP managers (the percentage will be determined at a later date).

Intended Result: Lower relative participating construction costs and a greater number of structural / safety issues resolved

18


HBP REFORM POLICIESDiscussion Topic #4 / Policy #7:Cap HBP funding on High Cost Bridge Projects at $80 million

Intended Result: More equitable distribution of bridge funds to local agency bridge owners resulting in a greater number of bridge repairs

19


HBP REFORM POLICIESDiscussion Topic #5 / Policies #8 & #9:(#8) All bridge project scopes will start as rehabilitation or preventative maintenance. Proposed replacements must be justified by engineering analysis and approved by the HBP managers.

(#9) Only minimum AASHTO standards are eligible.

Intended Result: Lower relative participating construction costs and a greater number of structural / safety issues resolved. Extend the life of existing bridges as long as possible.
