A complete set of crane charts, including crane, <br />counterweight, and boom nomenclature is to be submitted. Safety <br />factors that may have been “built-in” to the crane charts are not to be <br />considered when determining the 150% factor of safety. <br /> <br />(3) Plans and computations showing the weight of the pick must be <br />submitted. Calculations shall be made from plans of the existing <br />structure showing complete and sufficient details with supporting <br />data for the demolition the structure. If plans do not exist, lifting <br />weights must be calculated from field measurements. The field <br />measurements are to be made under the supervision of the <br />Registered Professional Engineer submitting the procedure and <br />calculations. <br /> <br />(4) The Contractor shall provide a sketch of all rigging components from <br />the crane’s hook block to the beam. Catalog cuts or information <br />sheets of all rigging components with their lifting capacities shall be <br />provided. All rigging must be adequate for 150% of the actual weight <br />of the pick. Safety factors that may have been “built-in” to the rating <br />charts are not to be considered when determining the 150% factor of <br />safety. All rigging components shall be clearly identified and tagged <br />with their rated lifting capacities. The position of the rigging in the <br />field shall not differ from what is shown on the final plan without prior <br />review from the Sponsor and the Railroad. <br /> <br />(5) A complete demolition procedure, including the order of lifts, time <br />required for each lift, and any repositioning or re-hitching of the crane <br />or cranes. <br /> <br />(6) Design and supporting calculations for the temporary support of <br />components, including but not limited to the stability of the <br />superstructure during the temporary condition, temporary girder tie- <br />downs and falsework. <br /> <br />3. Overhead Demolition Debris Shield <br /> <br />a. The demolition debris shield shall be installed prior to the demolition of the <br />bridge deck or other relevant portions of the superstructure over the track area <br />to catch all falling debris. <br /> <br />b. The demolition debris shield shall provide a minimum vertical clearance as <br />specified in Section 4.A.1 of these provisions or maintain the existing vertical <br />clearance if the existing clearance is less than that specified in Section 4.A.1. <br /> <br />c. The Contractor shall include the demolition debris shield installation/removal <br />means and methods as part of the proposed Demolition procedure submission. <br /> <br />d. The Contractor shall submit the demolition debris shield design and supporting <br />calculations for approval by the Railroad Engineer. <br />EXHIBIT C
