2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Buckman Road Bridge No. 29C-307:
The Buckman Road Bridge (Bridge No. 29C-307) carries Buckman Road across Duck Creek Branch and
is located approximately 0.8 miles north of State Route 4 in the Farmington area. Buckman Road is a
two-lane local roadway connecting State Route 4 to Funck Road and properties north of the bridge;
however, the roadway narrows to a single travel lane from Funck Road to the north end of the bridge.
The project involves replacing the existing structure with a new one-lane, cast-in-place concrete bridge
measuring approximately 43.5 feet in length and 25.5 feet in width. The new bridge will consist of one 10-
foot-wide lane with 6-foot-wide shoulders. Construction activities will include installation of a temporary
bridge bypass for local traffic, a temporary stream diversion system, pile driving, reconstruction of
roadway approaches, installation of approach guardrails, placement of rock slope protection, and
reconstruction of property owner access roads.
MGE Engineering, Inc., provided professional design engineering services for the PROJECT, including
the preparation of plans, specifications, and cost estimate.
Buckman Road Bridge No. 29C-227:
The Buckman Road Bridge (Bridge No. 29C-227) carries Buckman Road across South Duck Creek
Branch and is located approximately 0.25 miles north of State Route 4 in the Farmington area. Buckman
Road is a two-lane local roadway. The existing bridge, constructed in 1931, is a two-lane timber structure
measuring approximately 52 feet in length and 20.5 feet in width. The bridge consists of timber deck
planks supported on timber stringer spans, which are founded on redwood columns with Portland cement
concrete (PCC) abutments and spread footings. South Duck Creek Branch is a sinuous channel with
moderately vegetated slopes consisting primarily of grasses and weeds, and a channel bed composed of
silt and gravel. A single-page as-built plan is available for the structure.
The work involves replacing the existing two-lane timber structure with a new single-span, cast-in-place
prestressed voided slab bridge measuring 60 feet in length and 25.5 feet in width. Construction activities
will include a temporary stream diversion, driving steel piles, construction of Type 836 concrete barriers,
installation of approach railings with terminal systems and/or crash cushions, and approach roadway
conformance work at both ends of the bridge. Rock slope protection will also be installed within the
channel to prevent future scour of the new structure. Local traffic will be detoured around the project site
during construction.
Dokken Engineers, Inc., provided professional design engineering services for the PROJECT, including
the preparation of plans, specifications, and cost estimate.
PROJECT Location: The PROJECT is located in the unincorporated County area as shown on the
enclosed Vicinity Maps.
SJCDPW’s standard business practice disallows design engineering firms to bid or propose on
construction management services for which they served as the design firm. Accordingly, the design
consultants for each of the projects will not be invited to submit a proposal for the construction
management engineering services on the project respectively. However, the design consultants will
continue to participate in the PROJECT and render design assistance during construction.
