The New York State Department of Transportation is seeking contractors for rehabilitation and coating of the Bonta Bridge, in Cayuga County, New York.

Bids are due May 3.

Scope of Work

This project involves coating of the three-span Bonta Truss Bridge spanning 471 feet over the Erie Canal.

Contractors will oversee total removal of existing coatings and field application of an estimate of 43,000 square feet of structural steel coatings. The steel will be abrasive blast-cleaned to Near White (SSPC-SP 10) standard and coated with a zinc-rich primer, an epoxy intermediate and a urethane finish. This system is subject to change according to project requirements. The owner-approved manufacturers are Carboline, PPG, International Paint and Sherwin-Williams.

The New York State Department of Transportation is seeking contractors for rehabilitation and coating of the Bonta Bridge in Cayuga County, New York.

The approved contractor is required to schedule operations so the steel repairs are completed after the steel has been cleaned and prepared for painting. After the steel repairs have been completed and new steel has been abrasive blast-cleaned, the new steel will be painted along the rest of the bridge. The cost of all coating will be included in the regular lump sum item.

Existing coatings contain lead; a lump sum item for Class A containment as well as treatment and disposal of an estimated 41,280 pounds is required. The project also includes a lump sum item for furnishing a lead exposure control plan.
