- Field Observations, Problems, Conflicts and Problem Resolutions
The project has no outstanding/pending claims.
The Contractor will need to complete removal of existing Pier #’s 1 & 2. There is still concrete in that area that will have to be removed in the Spring/Summer. CPM will propose a containment plan when removal is planned.
There is some gaps between the pier nose armor and the new concrete. This area needs to be dewatered and patched before pier is complete and accepted.
Steel nosing plates also need to be cut flush at the seal concrete elevation.
Erosion control measures were inspected and everything was in order.
The Contractor will maintain a 4.2 meter traffic lane at all times as stated in the Plans and Specs. If the Contractor wants to decrease the width of this travel lane temporarily during the day the Contractor will provide flaggers at their own expense during this lane limitation. If any vehicle cannot get through the project due to the limitation of the lane width the Contractor will
need to move to allow passage of the vehicle.
Need prices from CPM for the Following items :
None at this time
Need letter from CPM Constructors / Coleman Concrete stating the cement used on the deck placement was the type stated in the plans.
I ssues from the Town of Fryeburg :
There is an exposed water pipe on the downstream side of the bridge. This is a Fryeburg Water Company Main. This has been uncovered during the Winter by the changing river bottom. The MDOT will take some measurements of the pipe and will monitor any changes in the river bed around the pipe.

Need to place deck
Putting Traffic over new structure.

(which is not going to be allowed)
- Place concrete high during deck placement and Remove the exce ss before final membrane and paving.
