Bridge Deck Saw-Cut Grooving Reason Code None Question Please reference Addendum No. 1, Question #4: "Do you want sawed grooves on the bridge decks and approach slabs?" Answer: "Neither the bridge decks nor the approach slabs will be grooved." Upon speaking with Halff Associates on January 18, 2011, they referenced TxDOT Spec 420.4.I stating that the bridge decks need to have saw-cut grooves. Please confirm whether it is the Engineer's desire to have saw-cut grooves. If so, Austin Bridge & Road can perform this work for $4452.

Yes Cost Change: Cost Increase of US $4,452 Time Change: Yes, may be Discipline Code: N/A Drawing Numbers: Needs Drawing Change? Yes History (Chronological Order) No history to display. Final Response (Closing) Response Addendum No. 1 is correct. The decks and approaches do NOT need to be grooved. According to TxDOT engineers, as long as the design speed is less than 45 mph, the grooves are not required. Since the design speed on Bella and Ponte is just 30 mph, we do NOT recommend that grooves be sawed into the bridge decks and approach slabs. We apologize for the confusion.
