APPRENTICE / TRAINING / LABOR / CIVIL RIGHTS PROVISIONS IN LOCALLY ADMINISTERED FEDERAL AID CONTRACTS

At this time, the only training provision approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for inclusion in FHWA funded contracts in New York State, is NYSDOT’s Training Special Provisions (TSP) issued by the NYSDOT’s Engineering Instruction, EI 06‐018. The purpose of the Training Special Provisions is to both provide for workforce development and address under‐representation of minorities and women in the transportation construction industry, while not restricting competition in the bidding process.

A number of municipalities have enacted local laws and regulations, in a variety of forms, which require their contractors to have apprentice programs for their workforce. However, depending upon how they are written and implemented, these requirements may not meet all of the specific criteria mandated by federal law. Federal regulations require that the State highway agency (NYSDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) must approve all Training Special Provisions before they may be included in a federal aid contract. As noted above, the only approved training provision is NYSDOT’s TSP. Any other provision would require NYSDOT and FHWA review and approval / disapproval on a case‐by‐case basis. This requirement is included in the Procedures for Locally Administered Federal Aid Projects (PLAFAP) Manual, Chapter 12, Section 12.4.1.4. With the submission of NYSDOT’s On the Job Training Plan for 2009 to FHWA, which added local sponsors as potential users, NYSDOT’s Training Special Provisions are the only provisions for training/apprenticeship permitted for use on Locally Administered Federal Aid Contracts, but they will not be mandated. Various chapters in the PLAFAP Manual are under revision and, when finalized, will reflect this change.

For State‐let projects, NYSDOT design guidance suggests inclusion of the Training Special Provisions (TSP) on projects greater than $5,000,000. The use of TSP is considered on projects between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. NYSDOT does not use TSP on projects with engineer’s estimates less than $1,000,000 as these projects usually do not employ enough workers in a specific trade to warrant an apprentice. Regardless of the amount, the inclusion should also be based on the likelihood of the contract containing meaningful and effective training opportunities. (See EI 06‐019.) These criteria are applied by NYSDOT to State‐let contracts. They are not mandated for contracts let by local sponsors. If a local sponsor can verify that a project with an engineer’s estimate less than $1,000,000 meets the TSP criteria, the sponsor may include the TSP in the proposed plans, specifications and estimate (bid documents), but must also include an explanation for review and approval by NYSDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

NYS Department of Labor (NYSDOL) does not approve Training Special Provisions for FHWA funded projects. NYSDOL registers apprenticeship programs. If contractors are looking for information regarding approved apprenticeship programs, entities that have registered programs, etc., they should contact NYSDOL for that information. NYSDOT is responsible for review of contract provisions for compliance with FHWA policies.

ACTION STEPS

NYSDOT’s Training Special Provisions may be included in FHWA‐funded contracts, but all other training provisions must be removed, as they have not received approval from FHWA. Contractors may use NYSDOL approved apprenticeship programs to fulfill NYSDOT’s Training Special Provisions.

If a Sponsor has received bids for any contracts where a non‐NYSDOT training provision has been incorporated into the bid documents, the project must be re‐advertised and new bids solicited (a two week ad may be sufficient for this purpose). NYSDOT’s Training Special Provisions may be included by amendment to the bid documents. The apparent low bidder will notify the Sponsor how it intends to fulfill the NYSDOT’s Training Special Provisions included in the bid documents.

A Sponsor may pursue approval of its own Training Special Provisions. Any new Training Special Provisions will require NYSDOT review and recommendation to the FHWA, which has the responsibility to approve all training special provisions on FHWA‐funded projects. All Training Special Provisions must comply with Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR) Part 230.111. The review and approval process is extensive; the proper amount of time should be allowed to obtain approval prior to the advertisement of a construction project. Contact your Regional Local Project Liaison (RLPL) to begin this process.

Synopsis:

The County received yellow structural flags for two bridges with diagonal cracking near the bearings on the fascia girders at both ends of the bridges. The single span bridges are constructed of adjacent prestressed, precast concrete box beams with cast‐in‐place concrete decks. The span lengths of the bridges are 84 feet and 99 feet. The County’s initial assessment of the structures did not reveal the root cause of the cracking. WJE was hired to evaluate the bridges and investigate the cracking. The presentation will focus on WJE’s evaluation procedures including design review, field investigation, full scale load testing, load rating and maintenance recommendations.

Synopsis:

Bridges are, by their very nature, supposed to be durable structures that we anticipate will last many years despite being exposed to the elements and relatively harsh conditions. Local bridges can meet or exceed their design life, if properly maintained. In time of increasingly tight maintenance budgets, bridges that require low maintenance to meet their design life are becoming more of the norm. This presentation will show a number of details from existing bridges which tend to be maintenance intensive, and some alternative approaches which should be less so.

About the Presenter: Willy Grimmke has a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Clarkson University and a Master of Science Degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He has served as the Superintendent of Public Works with Washington County since early 1997. Washington County Department of Public Works is the proud owner of approximately 120 bridges which require periodic maintenance.

Synopsis:

The goal of the project to replace the bridge carrying High Falls Road Extension over the Kaaterskill Creek was to remove structural and hydraulic deficiencies present in the existing bridge while preserving the historic, aesthetic and in‐situ characteristics of the site. The construction concepts utilized resulted in a better quality product completed within the overall budget.

The original two‐span structure’s pier yielded a hydraulic obstruction that snagged floating debris and exacerbated flood level conditions. Further, the laid‐stone wingwall construction did not respond well to high flow conditions and promoted undesirable vegetative growth. The new single span superstructure increased the waterway opening by eliminating the pier. In addition, the prestressed adjacent box beam superstructure provides a smooth bottom surface which enhances hydraulic efficiency. Aesthetic formliner treatments on both the pre‐cast and cast‐in‐place concrete elements tied the structure to the adjacent stone walls, upstream dam and a historic building on one quadrant. By precasting the form patterns into the fascia beams, the exposed bridge fascias provide a link to the stone construction predominant in Greene County.

This presentation will focus on design considerations, options and decisions required to yield a successful final bridge replacement, as well as the lessons learned during construction particularly with respect to the use of formliners and concrete staining when using both cast‐in‐place and pre‐cast concrete.

Synopsis:

New York State’s Divisible Load Permit Program allows approved overweight divisible load vehicles to travel on the State’s highways. The program provides many economic benefits to business operators, customers and highway travelers throughout the state. Some of these benefits include decreased traffic congestion, reduced CO2 emissions and a decrease in transportation costs. However, the advantages noted must be balanced with the need to protect the safety of the traveling public and the need to minimize the adverse effects on the State’s infrastructure. This presentation will discuss the history and current policies of New York State’s Divisible Load Permit Program and how the program may affect local bridge owners.

Synopsis:

The presentation discusses the replacement of the William Street Bridge over Flint Creek in the Village of Phelps. The project was initiated by the Ontario County Department of Public Works in cooperation with NYSDOT Region 4 and the FHWA as a federal aid “pass through” project. Barton & Loguidice, P.C. (B&L), provided full preliminary and final design services, and construction inspection. Ramsey Constructors, Inc. was the contractor and completed construction in 2008. The existing William Street bridge was a steel multi‐girder superstructure with a cast‐in‐place concrete deck supported by gravity abutments. The narrow steel girder superstructure was deteriorated and the abutments were poorly aligned with the stream creating scour concerns. The skewed crossing is located in a ravine‐like setting with highly competent rock located at the stream bed elevation. During design, several superstructure types were considered for replacement including a precast arch, precast concrete box beams and a cast‐in‐place concrete arch. The cast‐in‐place arch was selected because it better accommodated the skew, eliminated many high maintenance bridge elements and provided a more cost effective structure. The superstructure selection was also influenced by the existing venerable arch bridges located upstream and downstream that have performed well by taking advantage of the natural benefits provided by the setting. Other interesting project features to be discussed include explosive demolition of the existing bridge, coordination with village public works and schedule constraints.

Synopsis: The I‐87 over the Mohawk River bridges, also known as the Twin Bridges, carry over 100,000 vehicles a day between Albany and Saratoga counties. The main span, a 600’ steel arch with suspended floorbeams, required replacement of all the bridge strands on the structure. The condition of the bridge strands required special monitoring and rapid replacement at many locations. This presentation discusses the bridge conditions, design aspects for a successful project, and the construction phase of the strand replacement.

Synopsis:

NYSDOT recently completed its first precast concrete “Deck Bulb Tee” superstructure carrying Route 31 over Canandaigua Outlet in Lyons, NY. Even though deck bulb tee superstructures have been used elsewhere in the country with reasonable success, poor long term performance of the grouted joints was a concern especially for bridges carrying high volumes of truck traffic. The above bridge utilized innovative Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) for the reinforced closure joints. The first part of this presentation by Mathew Royce will focus on the design, detailing, fabrication and installation aspects of this project. Due to the geometric limitations of the bridge location, very tight tolerances of adjacent flanges along each longitudinal joint were needed. Forced adjustment of camber was used to achieve the required tolerance. Erdman Anthony, consultant to the contractor Ramsey Constructors, developed a hydraulic jacking system for this purpose. The second part of this presentation by Stephen Percassi will concentrate on the above mentioned jacking system.

Synopsis:

The NYSDOT is currently constructing a 4.2 mile extension of US Route 219 from Springville to Ashford, New York. The centerpiece of the project is twin open spandrel steel arch structures spanning Cattaraugus Creek from Erie to Cattaraugus Counties.

Access into Zoar Valley and Cattaraugus Creek presented many engineering challenges for erecting the twin 725 ft structures. Unique construction techniques and temporary supports were required to facilitate erection of the structural steel. This presentation will include description and photographs of the erection of these arch structures.

Synopsis:

The Dinosaur Bar‐B‐Que was started in 1983 by three bikers, bound together by the love of good food, a 55 gallon drum cut in half, and a serious case of wanderlust. For five years the road was their home, slinging Bar‐B‐Que at motorcycle shows, fairs, and festivals up and down the east coast. It is from their travels that their Bar‐B‐Que evolved. By 1988, burnt out from the road, their gypsy journey settled into downtown Syracuse and opened up as a take out Bar‐B‐Que joint.

In 1990, feeling the need to couple some booze with their Bar‐B‐Que, they doubled their space and added a full bar and waitress service. Blues always served as their musical backdrop so the next step became live music. Starting with their first act, Dr. Blue, they went from one night of live music to two, then three…as they say, the rest is history.

In April of 1998, they opened their second Dinosaur Bar‐B‐Que in Rochester, NY. It has taken on its own unique personality, while offering the same great Dinosaur grub and passion for blues.

Their third location opened in December 2004, in Harlem, NY. Harlem Dinosaur has become a favorite destination for Manhattanites, locals, and everyone in the tri‐state area.

They anticipate opening their fourth restaurant in Troy, NY in the Spring of 2010.

Over the last decade, their Bar‐B‐Que has been nationally acclaimed, as well as their blues club, as one of the best in the country. They also manufacture and distribute five of their own specialty sauces throughout the U.S., England, and Australia.

Their Dinosaur cookbook is available with over 100 attitude‐packed recipes. John Stage reveals many of his secret recipes that have made “The Dinosaur” a favorite with Barbecue aficionados everywhere!
