Requirement
Provide all necessary labour, tools, equipment, materials, safety devices, and supervision required to provide regular maintenance services such that the Burlington Lift Bridge will be safe, reliable, and meet operational requirements
Project Scope of Work:
This statement of work outlines electrical and mechanical maintenance services to be provided at the Burlington Canal Lift Bridge in Burlington, ON. The bridge and its operation are a critical part of both the channel marine traffic and the highway/pedestrian traffic that straddles the Burlington Canal. It is essential for marine and highway operations that the bridge is maintained in a safe, reliable condition with the bridge being continually available for operation and that any mechanical or electrical system failures or malfunctions receive immediate attention and elimination.
Maintenance and repairs are to be provided to extend the life of the mechanical and electrical systems and to prevent any unnecessary failures and costly repairs. The program shall prioritize preventative maintenance to replace worn and aging components before they actually fail. Maintenance efforts shall be based on the Bridge Inspection, Evaluation, and Maintenance Manual, published by AASHTO, and other reference documents provided by the owner, including maintenance manuals. The Contractor shall continuously review the bridge electrical and mechanical systems and modify maintenance practices, including lubrication or other maintenance intervals, to minimize wear and ensure reliable service. The Contractor shall perform all work in accordance with all applicable local and national rules and regulations.
Maintenance activities shall include periodic verification of the functionality of the power and control systems, the integrity of the electrical system installation, integrity of the mechanical systems, oil changes, lubrication, and equipment adjustments. In addition, inspections shall be performed to record equipment deterioration and assess the need for replacement or repair of worn or end of life parts and equipment before they cause system failure or affect bridge operating reliability.
Bridge electrical and mechanical system maintenance shall also include 24/7 on-call failure and troubleshooting services during the navigation season. Following notification of a bridge electrical or mechanical system failure by the Bridgemaster or representative, the Contractor shall respond and be at the bridge within one hour of the notification by email or phone call.
