FOREWORD New York State Department of Transportation requires a complete and thorough inventory database established and maintained for all publicly owned, operated, or maintained highway bridges in the State, and Department owned other (pedestrian, railroad, etc.) bridges and large culverts. A complete and thorough inventory is necessary for effective asset management. It is also required for accurate reporting of the inventory and condition of the State’s bridges to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), on an annual basis, as required by National Bridge Inspection Standards. This document replaces the “New York State Department of Transportation Bridge Inventory Manual (2006 edition)”

1.1 Purpose The Bridge and Large Culvert Inventory Manual has been prepared to provide policy and guidance for thoroughly and accurately completing and updating bridge and large culvert inventories. The data and information are necessary for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Military Traffic Management Command to identify and classify the Strategic Highway Corridor Network and its connectors for defense purposes. The data is also used by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) for asset management purposes.

1.2 Applicability

This manual applies to all bridges and large culverts inspected under the New York State Department of Transportation’s Bridge and Large Culvert Inspection programs. In addition, the inventory items for the bridge program are considered an integral part of a data base that is used to meet several Federal reporting requirements as set forth in the National Bridge Inspection Standards (23 CFR 650.3). A complete, thorough and accurate database is the foundation of an effective structure management system.

1.3 Policy The FHWA National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) establish the regulations for the inspection and evaluation of the Nation’s bridges. The NBIS is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR 650 Subpart C). Sub-section “650.311 Inventory” of the NBIS requires State agencies to prepare and maintain an inventory of all bridges and large culverts subject to these standards. Inventory and appraisal data must be collected and retained by the State for collection by FHWA as required. FHWA’s “Recording and Coding Guide for the Structure Inventory and Appraisal of the Nation’s Bridges” is the basis for the inventory data collected for the bridge programs in New York State and has been used as a guide for the large culvert program for consistency.

1.4 Referenced Standards and Documents The following references contain material that is relevant to Inventory.

• New York State Department of Transportation Bridge Inspection Manual – March 2017

• U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration Recording and Coding Guide for the Structure Inventory and Appraisal of the Nation’s Bridges (FHWA-PD-96-001)

• Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR 650 Subpart C)

• BDIS User Manual – March 20, 2016

1.5 Use by Owners Other Than NYSDOT This manual is applicable to all state, local and authority-owned structures within the boundaries of New York State that use the NYSDOT Enterprise Asset Management System. It is used for all structures regardless of the type of service they provide.

1.6 Definition of Terms BDIS – Bridge Data Information System (BDIS) is a common phrase that is used to describe the Structure Manager module within the Enterprise Asset Management System (EAM). It is a web-based application for maintaining structure data and the associated data from the business processes that manage those assets. The Structure Manager module within EAM is where Bridge and Large Culvert Inventory data is

Page | 4

stored and maintained. The term BDIS is not an official term and cannot be found within the software application. The term “the system” will be used within this manual to describe EAM. BDIS User Manual – The manual, prepared by Agile Assets, provides information and instruction on how to navigate and use the Structure Manager module of EAM. See section 4 of the BDIS User Manual for information and instruction on the Bridge and Large Culvert Inventory modules. BDSU – Bridge Data Systems Unit administers and maintains the Department’s Bridge Inventory and Large Culvert Program’s Data System, performs quality assurance, and provides system assistance to State Employees, Consultants and Authorities. Bridge – A structure including supports erected over a depression or an obstruction, such as water, highway, or railway, and having a track or passageway for carrying traffic or other moving loads, and having an opening measured along the center of the roadway of more than 20 feet between undercopings of abutments or spring lines of arches, or extreme ends of openings for multiple boxes; it may also include multiple pipes, where the clear distance between openings is less than half of the smaller contiguous opening.

Abandoned Bridge – A bridge that once satisfied the Inventory Bridge definition, but now is permanently closed and barricaded to all traffic with permanent obstacles. The Abandoned Bridge will remain in the inventory as inactive until it is demolished. An abandoned bridge is no longer inspected (see NYSDOT Bridge Inspection Manual for more information) and is no longer eligible to receive Federal and State funds to rehabilitate it. Bridges that are load posted as “99-Closed” and have Type Service On coded as “0 – Other” are considered Abandoned within the NYSDOT inventory.

Closed Bridge – A bridge that once satisfied the Inventory Bridge definition but is now temporarily closed for any reason except for collapse. Temporary closure is established by installing barricades to all traffic or to the primary use of the bridge. However, closed highway or railroad bridges may continue to serve secondary uses such as pedestrian traffic.

If a bridge has been closed for five years to vehicular traffic or one year to pedestrian, and the owner has made no serious effort to reopen it, the bridge will be declared “Abandoned” (see previous definition for Abandoned Bridge). Closed bridges are inspected on a regular basis just like bridges which are open to traffic and are eligible to receive Federal and State funds to rehabilitate them.

Collapsed Bridge – A bridge that once satisfied the Inventory Bridge definition but is now closed due to the collapse of at least one span which prevents the safe passage of any service. Closure became necessary as a result of structural or foundation failure, an accident, or an act of God. If the owner has made no serious effort to restore the structural integrity and physical continuity of the bridge, within three years of the collapse, it shall be declared “Abandoned”. Deleted Bridge – A bridge that has been deleted from the inventory system because it has been demolished, or it has been replaced by a structure(s) which does not meet the definition of a bridge. Inventory Bridge – A bridge that is included in the inventory when it carries a public highway or when it carries moving loads over a public highway or a navigable waterway. Any bridge that recently satisfied one of these conditions, but is now Closed or Collapsed, shall also be considered as an Inventory Bridge until it is declared “Abandoned”. Temporary Bridge – A bridge that is used to maintain traffic during the modification or replacement of another bridge.

Culvert – For the purposes of the NYSDOT structural inventory and identifying the General Type Main Span and Design Type, a culvert is an enclosed structure, such as a box or a pipe; or a structure that requires soil-structure interaction for stability, such as a corrugated metal pipe arch. Most other structures can be better identified as a frame, arch or slab. Large Culvert – A Large Culvert refers ONLY to the size of the structure being inventoried. A structure is considered a Large Culvert if the structure has an opening:

• measured perpendicular to its skew that is greater than or equal to 5 feet and

• measured along the centerline of the roadway that is less than or equal to 20 feet including multiple pipe structures where the clear distance between pipes is less than half of the smaller pipe diameter. If the spacing between adjacent spans is more than one half the span of the smaller opening, then treat them as separate structures. Large Culverts have Culvert Identification Numbers (CINs) rather than Bridge Identification Numbers (BINs) and are separated in the system with different workflows and inspection programs as well. All other inventory information is entered similarly to bridges. Highway – For the purposes of inventory, the term Highway is used to denote any road that is open to the traveling vehicular public. Inventory Route – The route for which the applicable inventory data is being recorded. The Inventory Route may be on the structure or under the structure.

2.1 General Information All references and definitions of items for “bridges” within the manual can be also utilized for “large culverts” within the System. Any differences are described specifically within this manual.

2.2 Manual Layout The manual is organized by Record Code (RC), which is the legacy system of inventorying structures with NYSDOT. Record Codes continue to be used as the basis for the Daily Extract and April Extract. It is impossible to know how many other applications have been built within the Department by individuals, Units, or program areas and at this time all data in the extracts needs to continue to be maintained in the same table structure and order as the legacy systems. The NYSDOT Bridge and Large Culvert Inventory items are used to produce the Annual Report to FHWA. The Recording and Coding Guide for the Structure Inventory and Appraisal of the Nation’s Bridges has approximately 120 data items that are required for each structure that is reported. The corresponding FHWA item number, if any, is listed under the NYSDOT item within this manual such as:

ITEM: Location FHWA 9

The EAM System matches the layout of the Record Codes in the Daily Extract for the majority of all

NYSDOT items. Any items that are in a different location within the software system are noted in the

definition. See Appendix B for the list of NYSDOT items and the corresponding System location, Record

Code and FHWA item number if applicable.

2.3 Inventory Overview and Workflow Pursuant to the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR 650 Subpart C) Inventory and appraisal data must be collected and retained by the State for collection by FHWA as required. FHWA’s “Recording and Coding Guide for the Structure Inventory and Appraisal of the Nation’s Bridges” is the basis for the inventory data collected for the bridge and large culvert programs administered by the New York State Department of Transportation. The Enterprise Asset Management System (EAM), often referred to as the Bridge Data Information System (BDIS), is the web-based application for maintaining structure data. The Structure Manager module within EAM is where Bridge and Large Culvert Inventory data is stored and maintained. When it is determined that an existing bridge or large culvert inventory record needs to be edited, the inventory record is sent to an edit process, changes are made and verified through a Quality Control (QC) review and then processed through a Quality Assurance (QA) review before the official record is replaced with the edited data. New inventory records as well as deleted records are also created/done through the edit process and made the official inventory record after the QC and QA verification process. The workflow for the Bridge and Large Culvert Inventory function initially provides a window (Inventory - Active) that enables end-users with the appropriate Security Profile to view inventory data in a read-only mode. Structures that require editing must first be put in an Edit status by using the Edit Inventory Data button in the Inventory Active window. If the selected structure is already being edited, the Edit Inventory Data button will be disabled. The “Inventory Edit” security profile is used for performing edits to structure records. All editing is done from the Inventory - Edit window. These edits would then need to be verified through the QC and QA

Page | 10

process before acceptance and the structure inventory data is officially replaced. The user who performs the edits as well as QC and QA must all be different logged in users. Since there is only one set of data for bridges and large culverts, changes to this data must go through a “staged-edit” process to ensure changes have been made properly and are then submitted to QC for approval and then ultimately to QA for final approval. If edited data is rejected at any stage, the original editor is required to resolve the QC/QA comments. There are separate security profiles for QC and QA activities. When approved by QA, the edited structure data will replace the original structure inventory data. Up until the final QA approval, other system users will only be able to view and use the original inventory data. Within EAM, in the Bridge and Large Culvert Modules, inventory records displayed in the Inventory - Active Window, contain a large quantity of data about each structure. This data is presented in several windows that are displayed using a tabbed interface in the right-hand pane of the application. Keep in mind that the right-hand pane may contain multiple records for the selected category of information. For example, the Feature Crossed window contains an entry for each feature that the structure crosses. Use the row number link at the bottom of the window to advance to the next record (or switch the window to grid mode to see all records in a single window). More in depth instructions for the application can be found in the BDIS user manual.

ITEM: Location FHWA 9 PROCEDURE: Record a narrative description of the bridge location with reference to features identified on Highway Road Maps using a maximum of 25 characters. Features include: the junction of highways, major waterways, or the distance to the nearest town, village, hamlet or topographic feature shown on this map. Distances should be identified in miles. For example:

87I over Mohawk River 1.5 m S Rt9 and Mohawk River 0.4 m S I-87 Exit 22 1.2 m W MA border and I90

CODING: All standard keyboard characters.

ITEM: Political Unit FHWA 4 PROCEDURE: The Political Unit data will be obtained from the Highway Data Services web page. This item was also known as FIPS code. FIPS stands for the Federal Information Processing Standards, which ensures that every state, county and municipality etc. has the same ID in all Federal Databases. Tables for the codes used in this database can be found on the NYSDOT website at the following link: https://www.dot.ny.gov/highway-data-services Click on the most recent Highway Mileage Report and codes will be found in Appendix B. Separate tables are presented for Village, City, Town, or within an Indian Reservation. Municipalities are listed in ascending code order. These tables also provide Region and County codes for each municipality. If the bridge location is in a Village, City or Indian Reservation, record the appropriate code for the Village, City or Indian Reservation. If the bridge location is not in a Village, City or Indian Reservation, record the appropriate code for the Town where it is located. If the bridge location is in more than one Political Unit, record the Political Unit where the Begin Abutment is located. See the Direction of Orientation Item for a definition of the Begin Abutment. CODING: Numeric 0001 - 3999

ITEM: Map Number (Retired) NYSDOT This field is no longer used for new structures and is not available for entry in the system. It remains in the extract for reference.

Page | 22

ITEM: Latitude FHWA 16 PROCEDURE: The Latitude data will be obtained from the Department’s Geographic Information System (GIS). This data is imported from the GIS system nightly. If this data is missing or if it is incorrect, please contact the Bridge Data Services Unit. New structures will need to have a general latitude provided with the new inventory and the value will be confirmed once located within the GIS. The location of the GIS point shall be based on the begin abutment along the Linear Referencing System baseline. Values from GIS will be entered with 7 digits past the decimal for accuracy. CODING: Values are shown in decimal format from 40 to 46 degrees

ITEM: Longitude FHWA 17 PROCEDURE: The Longitude data will be obtained from the Department’s Geographic Information System (GIS). This data is imported from the GIS system nightly. If this data is missing or if it is incorrect, please contact the Bridge Data Services Unit. New structures will need to have a general longitude provided with the new inventory and the value will be confirmed once located within the GIS. The location of the GIS point shall be based on the begin abutment along the Linear Referencing System baseline. Values from GIS will be entered with 7 digits past the decimal for accuracy. CODING: Values are shown in decimal format from -71 to -80 degrees

ITEM: Direction of Orientation FHWA 5E Translated PROCEDURE: The Direction of Orientation is the compass direction of the centerline of the bridge measured from the Begin Abutment, along the bridge centerline, to the End Abutment. This value is determined when the bridge is first recorded in the inventory and it is not to be changed because it establishes the numbering order for spans for all inspection related data and for the municipality in which the structure is located (see Political Unit). Generally, for bridges carrying State or Interstate highways, the Begin Abutment and the End Abutment are identified in the order of increasing Reference Markers or Mile Points. Reference Markers generally increase from West to East and South to North along the route. Therefore, the End Abutment is generally East or North of the Begin Abutment. This may not be true if a section of highway twists around from its general West/East or South/North direction. For parallel state highway bridges, (e.g., one bridge carries northbound traffic and one carries southbound traffic), both bridges shall have the same Direction of Orientation. For Ramp Bridges, the Direction of Orientation is the compass direction of the centerline of the Ramp Bridge as measured from the Main Bridge. CODING: 1 - North 2 - Northeast 3 - East 4 - Southeast 5 - South 6 - Southwest 7 - West 8 - Northwest

Page | 23

ITEM: Owner (Primary and Secondary) FHWA 22 Translated PROCEDURE: Record the agency or agencies responsible for the non-federal share of the cost of replacement or rehabilitation of the bridge. Ownership of a bridge cannot normally be proven by the existence of a deed or some other form of title. Therefore, the owner shall be assumed to be the agency or agencies identified as having maintenance responsibility for the bridge. A different agency should be recorded as Owner only if there is tangible evidence, such as legislation or a written agreement indicating that the above assumptions are incorrect. The agencies responsible for Ownership and Maintenance Responsibility are identified on the Contract Plans when capital improvements are made. The Highway Design Manual describes how Maintenance Responsibilities are assigned by law. This item is divided into two parts: Owner, Primary and Owner, Secondary. If there is only one owner, record the owner code for the Owner, Primary and record “99" for Owner, Secondary. The agency having greater responsibility should be listed as Owner, Primary and the agency with lesser responsibility listed as Owner, Secondary. If two agencies share equal responsibility, list them in either order. Changes to the Owner fields in inventory will not be accepted without authorization from the previous owner and the new owner both agreeing to such changes. See Appendix TBD. CODING: The following is a list of Owner codes; these codes are also used for Maintenance Responsibility.

ITEM: General Type Main Span (GTMS) - Material

FHWA 43A PROCEDURE: Record the type of material which was used to construct the General Type Main Span(s). Refer to item General Type Main Span (GTMS) for the definition of a main span. CODING: 1 - Concrete 2 - Concrete (Continuous) 3 - Steel 4 - Steel (Continuous) 5 - Prestressed Concrete 6 - Prestressed Concrete (Continuous) 7 - Timber 8 - Masonry 9 - Aluminum, Wrought Iron or Cast Iron 0 - Other A - Unpainted Steel B - Unpainted Steel (Continuous)

ITEM: General Type Main Span (GTMS)

FHWA 43B PROCEDURE: Record the type of superstructure used to support the Main Span from the following codes below. Main Span is the span or spans over the predominant feature crossed. There can be more than one Main Span. For example, a bridge with two equal spans crossing an interstate would have two Main Spans. Main spans are defined as the longest span and any other span with the same span design type. The remaining beginning or ending spans are considered Approach Spans. It is NOT necessary to have Approach Spans. CODING: 01 - Slab Single or multiple, cast-in-place, precast concrete or timber longitudinal members acting as a shallow beam and serving as the superstructure. Curved slabs should not be confused with arches. Unlike arches, which are always under compression where tension is negligible, slabs are designed for large tensile forces. 02 - Stringer/Multi-Beam or Girder Multiple, longitudinal members which directly support the structural deck. Steel members may be either rolled beams or plate girders, depending on the span. Prestressed I-girders with separate structural decks have been coded in the past with this item but shall be coded with “23 - I-Beam or Bulb Tee”. 03 - Girder and Floorbeam System The structural deck is supported by floorbeams transverse to the main members, with smaller section stringers spanning between the floorbeams. Usually, there are only two main member sections, but three are sometimes seen on wide bridges. The main girders are almost always riveted or welded plate girders. Floorbeams may be plate girders or rolled sections, while stringers are almost always rolled sections.

Page | 34

04 - Tee Beam Concrete monolithic deck and beam system formed in the shape of the letter “T”. Tee beams may have the shape of bulb tee, double tee, quad tee or rib tee. This code should only be used for precast sections where the top flanges are directly adjacent to one another. Otherwise, code as 02 – Stringer/Multi-Beam or Girder. This item shall also be used for NEXT Beams. 05 - Box Beam or Box Girders - Multiple Multiple, longitudinal, voided, prestressed concrete longitudinal beams are placed directly adjacent to each other, and are then post-tensioned together with transverse tendons. Distinct joints separating members can be seen from below. A concrete wearing surface is typically applied. Note that there is no structural deck for this type, even though the wearing course may be designed to act compositely with the beams. Multiple voided slab units shall use this code. 06 - Box Beam or Box Girder - Single or Spread Prestressed concrete or steel sections with a trapezoidal or rectangular cross-section. Multiple units (spread boxes) will have a structural deck spanning between them. 07 - Frame The horizontal units and vertical or inclined units of a frame are a rigidly connected unit, which resists moment and shear. Frames may have either vertical or slanted legs. The top of a frame is parallel to the roadway surface and may or may not have backfill over the structure. Concrete frames and 3-sided box structures (Conspan or HySpan type structures) usually have approach fill placed against the vertical components. These structures are best coded as Frames and not Culverts. 08 - Orthotropic Steel plate deck stiffened by longitudinal ribs and supported by floorbeams and main beams, generally with asphalt wearing surface. * Note for codes 09 and 10 A truss is a main member consisting of two chords connected by diagonal and/or vertical members. The chords and diagonals are usually designed to withstand axial stresses only. Truss bridges have two main trusses with a stringer-floorbeam system supporting the deck. 09 – Truss - Deck The deck is at the same level as the top chord. 10 – Truss - Thru The deck level is between the trusses or at the lower chord level. * Note for codes 11 and 12 Concrete, steel or timber structural members supporting a structural deck via spandrel columns or walls (if the deck is above the arches), or through hangers (if the deck is between the arches). These structures are shaped as a parabolic or circular curve. Primary stresses in arches are compression, with relatively low bending stresses 11 – Arch - Deck Deck is above the top of the arch. This is also used for stone, concrete or masonry arches. Structures comprised of corrugated metal pipe material in an arch shape with footings should be coded as “19 -Culverts”. 12 – Arch - Thru Structural deck placed between the arches.

Page | 35

13 - Suspension Two cables on either side of the roadway provide the support system for suspension bridges. These cables are draped over towers and anchored into concrete blocks embedded into rock at each end. Suspension bridges are used to span wide openings. The structural deck and floor system are supported by vertical cables which are fastened to the main cables. The deck is often provided with a stiffening truss to reduce the flexibility of the roadway. 14 - Stayed Girder (Cable-Stayed) The superstructure is directly supported by diagonal cables attached to towers at the main piers. 15 – Movable - Lift One or more spans which are raised vertically while remaining parallel to the waterway to provide for passage of marine traffic beneath the bridge. 16 – Movable - Bascule Span consists of one or two leaves which are rotated from a horizontal position to a near vertical position providing unlimited vertical clearance to marine traffic. A double-leaf bascule is counted as one span. 17 – Movable - Swing One or more spans are rotated in a horizontal plane on a pivot pier to permit passage of marine traffic. 18 - Tunnel An underground passage through natural material (mountain, river, etc.), conveying vehicular traffic. 19 - Culvert Typically, a hydraulic structure passing through a highway or railway embankment to facilitate the flow of storm drainage, or allow vehicles to cross over a small stream, walkway, animal passage or even a small road. Materials used can be steel, aluminum, or reinforced concrete. Structure types may be circular or elliptical pipes, corrugated metal pipe arches, or concrete box frames. Culverts are distinguished from other structure types by key features including soil-structure interaction. The primary members are usually covered with embankment material of varying depths, which has a major influence on structural performance (critical in the case of metal culverts). Live loads typically will have a lower effect on culverts than other types but not always. There will usually be highway guide rail on the structure rather than bridge rail but not always. Attention should be directed to how the structure is functioning structurally and not based solely on the shape of the primary members. 21 - Segmental Box Girder Transverse, Precast or Cast-in-Place concrete segments which are often the full width of the bridge and are connected longitudinally by post tensioning. 22 - Channel Beam Channel beams are generally precast concrete sections 4' to 6' wide and consist of a thin slab cast monolithically with two legs about three to four feet apart. Adjacent beams are bolted together and can be differentiated from Tee beams by the seam running between sections. 23 - I-Beam or Bulb Tee Multiple, longitudinal prestressed beams which directly support the structural deck. The beam shapes can be I-Beam or Bulb Tee configurations. Prestressed I-girders with separate structural decks had been coded in the past with item “02 - Stringer/Multi-beam or Girder but shall be coded with this item instead. 00 - Other Structures that do not fit the description of any structure type definer here may be coded as “00 - Other”

ITEM: General Type Approach Span (GTAS) - Material FHWA 44 PROCEDURE: Record the type of material used to construct the Approach Span(s). An Approach Span is considered any span that is not the same type as a Main Span. If there are no Approach Spans, code this item with “N - Not Applicable”. CODING: Refer to codes listed under “General Type Main Span (GTMS) – Material” for this Item.

ITEM: General Type Approach Span (GTAS) FHWA 44 PROCEDURE: Record the type of superstructure used to support the Approach Spans. An Approach Span is considered any beginning or ending span(s) that are not the same type as the Main Span. If there is more than one type of approach span use the code “20 - No type is dominant”. If there are no Approach Spans, code this item with “N - Not Applicable”. CODING: Refer to codes listed under “General Type Main Spans (GTMS)” for this Item.

ITEM: Number of Main Spans FHWA 45 PROCEDURE: Record the number of main spans on the bridge. Main spans are described under item “General Type Main Span (GTMS)”. When inventorying ramp bridges, record the number of spans in the ramp. CODING: Numeric 0 - 999

ITEM: Number of Approach Spans FHWA 46 PROCEDURE: Record the number of Approach Spans on the bridge. Approach Spans are described under item “General Type Approach Span (GTAS)”. When inventorying ramp bridges, record this Item with “0”. If there are no Approach Spans, record this item with “0”. CODING: Numeric 0 - 999

Page | 37

ITEM: Number of Ramps

NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record the number of Ramp Bridges connected to the structure being inventoried not the number of ramp spans. If no Ramp Bridges are connected to the structure, then code this Item as “0”. When inventorying a ramp bridge, code this item with “0”. CODING: Numeric 0 - 99

ITEM: Design Load FHWA 31 Translated PROCEDURE: Record the Design Load for which the bridge was originally designed or the design load for which it has been redesigned. This information can be obtained from the Record Plans. Use one of the codes listed below. CODING: Record one of the following listed codes. 10 - H 10 20 - H 15 30 - HS 15 40 - H 20 50 - HS 20 60 - HS 20 + Mod (2 - 24,000 lb. axles @ 4 ft. centers, when they govern) 61 - Thruway (HS20-44 at 30 ft. centers) 70 - Less than 60 psf (Pedestrian Loading) 71 - 60 Thru 70 psf (Pedestrian Loading) 72 - 71 Thru 80 psf (Pedestrian Loading) 73 - 81 Thru 90 psf (Pedestrian Loading) 74 - 91 Thru 100 psf (Pedestrian / Platform Loading) 75 - Over 100 psf (Pedestrian / Platform Loading) 80 - Less than E50 (RR) 81 - E50 (RR) 82 - E60 (RR) 83 - E72 (RR) 84 - E80 (RR) 85 - Greater than E80 (RR) 90 - HS 25 91 - HL 93 00 - Other NN - Unknown

ITEM: Maximum Span Length FHWA 48 This field is noneditable. Its value will be automatically populated from the maximum value of all of the span length information recorded for each span in Record Code 15. If this needs to be changed, it must be done in the Span Inventory Tab, Span Length value.

Page | 38

ITEM: Total Structure Length FHWA 49 PROCEDURE: Record the total length of the structure along the centerline of the Feature Carried, rounded up to the nearest tenth of a foot. This length is normally measured between the Bridge Begins and Bridge Ends Stations. These Stations indicate the points where the Bridge Deck ends, and the Approach Slab or pavement begins. Structure Length must be greater than or equal to the Span Length for single span structures and must be greater than or equal to the sum of all Span Lengths for multiple span structures. If the structure is a culvert, record the maximum horizontal distance between the inside faces of the exterior walls, parallel to the centerline of the roadway. If the structure is a tunnel, record the length of the roadway (portal to portal) that it conveys. There may be a skewed condition that causes confusion about whether the structure is a bridge (greater than 20 feet) or a large culvert (less than or equal to 20 feet). In these cases, a structure is considered a bridge if the value along the centerline - not the perpendicular distance between the inside face of the walls - is greater than 20 feet. When the abutments are not parallel or when they are curved, measure the length along both curb lines or measure the length along both faces of railing. Record the structure length as the average of one of these sets of measurements. CODING: Numeric 1 - 999999

ITEM: Approach Roadway Width FHWA 32 PROCEDURE: Record the most restrictive usable width of the Approach Roadway to the nearest one foot. If the Approach Roadway Width is not the same at both ends of the bridge, record the smaller width. Include the shoulders in this measurement only if they meet the following criteria:

• They are designed, constructed, and maintained flush with the adjacent lane.

• They are adequate for weather and traffic conditions, consistent with the facility carried. Raised medians should not be included in the Approach Roadway Width. For structures with raised medians, record the sum of the usable widths of the Approach Roadways. If the bridge does not carry a highway, record this item with “0". CODING: Numeric 0 - 9999

ITEM: Out to Out Width FHWA 52 PROCEDURE: Record the minimum Out to Out Width of the bridge, up to the nearest tenth of a foot. Out to Out Width shall be measured at the same point as Curb to Curb Width; the measurement should be exclusive of flared areas for ramps. For large and geometrically complex structures, use an average value for Out to Out Width that would correspond with the Deck Area. If the superstructure is a multi-girder, deck truss, or deck arch, the Out to Out Width should be measured between the facias. If it is a thru girder, thru truss, or

Page | 39

a thru arch, the Out to Out Width should be the lateral clearance between superstructure members. For culverts, the Out to Out Width is recorded as zero if there are no headwalls and if the filled section over the culvert maintains the roadway cross-section. Where traffic runs directly on the top slab or wearing surface of a culvert type structure code the actual Out to Out Width. This will also apply where the fill is minimal, and the culvert type structure’s headwalls affect the flow of traffic. Where the roadway is on a fill carried across a culvert type structure (example: pipe culvert, box culvert etc.) and the headwalls do not affect the flow of traffic, record this value as “0”. This is considered proper since a filled section over a culvert type structure simply maintains the roadway cross-section. For tunnels, record the maximum opening width. CODING: Numeric: 0 - 999.9

ITEM: Out to Out Width Varies FHWA 35 PROCEDURE: Record whether the Out to Out Width of the bridge varies by at least two feet. CODING: 0 - Out to Out Width does not vary (“N” in System) 1 - Out to Out Width varies by 2 feet or more (“Y” in System)

ITEM: Curb to Curb Width FHWA 51 PROCEDURE: Record the minimum distance between the curbs or the bridge railings (if there are no curbs), up to the nearest tenth of a foot. The Curb to Curb Width shall be measured at the same point on the structure as the Out to Out Width. For large and geometrically complex structures, use an average value for Curb to Curb width that would correspond with the Deck Area. For bridges with closed medians, record the sum of the minimum distances for all roadways carried by the bridge. The following features shall be excluded from this calculation: raised or non-mountable medians, open medians, barrier widths, or bicycle lanes protected by barrier. Where traffic runs directly on top of the slab or wearing surface of a culvert type structure (ex. pipe culvert, box culvert, etc.) code the actual roadway width (Curb to Curb or Rail to Rail). This will also apply where the fill is at a minimum and headwalls or parapets affect the flow of traffic. Where the roadway is on fill carried across the structure and the headwalls or parapets do not affect the flow of traffic, code this with “0”. When Out to Out Width is “0”, Curb to Curb Width must be “0”. Curb to Curb Width cannot be greater than Out to Out Width. If there are no curbs or bridge railing, such as with pipe culverts or box culverts under fill, record this Item as “0". Do not include the flared areas for ramps in the Curb to Curb Width.

CODING: Numeric 0 - 999.9

Page | 40

ITEM: Curb to Curb Width Varies FHWA 35 PROCEDURE: Record whether the Curb to Curb Width varies by more than one foot. Use the codes listed below. CODING: 0 - Not applicable (no curb) 1 - Curb to Curb Width does not vary by more than one foot 2 - Curb to Curb Width varies by more than one foot

ITEM: Curb Type (Left and Right) NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record the type of curb on the bridge. Jersey Barriers or Safety Shapes are not considered to be curbs. They should be recorded as “1 - No Curb”. “Left” and “Right” are determined while facing in the Direction of Orientation. CODING: 1 - No Curb 2 - Concrete 3 - Granite 4 - Stone 5 - Steel Plate 6 - Molded - Asphalt 7 - Timber 0 - Other

ITEM: Sidewalk Width (Left and Right) FHWA 50 PROCEDURE: Record the minimum width of the sidewalk, carried by the bridge, which is usable for pedestrian traffic, up to the nearest tenth of a foot. Sidewalk Width is measured between any two of the following elements:

• Face of Railing

• Face of Curb

• Inside face of the truss member or the inside edge of the flange plate for a thru girder The minimum width of a sidewalk is one foot. Safety walks (brush curbs) are assumed to be sidewalks for this purpose. Record the Left Sidewalk Width in the first field, followed by the Right Sidewalk Width in the remaining field. If the sidewalk width is 2 feet or greater, the Type of Service On shall be coded as “5 - Highway/Pedestrian” in the Identification tab. “Left” and “Right” are determined while facing in the Direction of Orientation. CODING: Numeric 0 - 99.9

Page | 41

ITEM: Sidewalk Type (Left and Right) NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record the type of material used to construct the Left and Right Sidewalks on the bridge. If the Sidewalk Width is less than two feet, then code this Item “1 - No Sidewalk”. “Left” and “Right” are determined while facing in the Direction of Orientation. CODING: 1 - No Sidewalk 2 - Concrete 3 - Steel Plate 4 - Steel Grating 5 - Asphalt Concrete 6 - Wood 0 - Other

ITEM: Median Width NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record the median width up to the nearest tenth of a foot. If it varies, record the average width. The width of flush medians (See the Median Type item) shall also be recorded. For pipe culverts or box culverts that are continuous under a divided highway, record the mall width between directions of travel as the Median Width. Record the median only, do NOT include shoulder areas. If there is no median, record the Median Width as “0". CODING: Numeric 0 - 99.9

ITEM: Median Type FHWA 33T PROCEDURE: Record the Type of Median on the bridge using one of the following codes. Refer to the diagrams for FHWA Item 33 in the Coding Guide for more information.

Page | 42

ITEM: Abutment Type (Begin and End) NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record the type of abutment used at each end of the structure. Begin and End are determined by looking in the Direction of Orientation. Note: Bridge Ramps do not have Begin Abutments as they attach directly to the main bridge. Codes 5 (Jointless) and 8 (Abutment-less) are no longer used. CODING: 1 - None 2 - Stub, Cantilever 3 - Integral 4 - Solid, Cantilever 6 - Solid, Gravity 7 - Solid, Counterfort 9 - Stub Abutment on Mechanically Stabilized Earth Retaining Wall A - Masonry B - Semi-Integral * - Unknown 0 – Other

2 - Stub, Cantilever A Stub Abutment (also known as ‘Stemless’) has a backwall with a maximum height of approx. 10 ft. The superstructure members are supported on individual pedestals

3 - Integral An Integral Abutment is composed of a concrete cap beam which is supported by a single row of steel bearing piles or Cast in Place concrete piles.

Page | 43

4 - Solid, Cantilever A Cantilever Abutment is used when the height of the backwall required exceeds the limits of a Stub Abutment. The superstructure is supported on a continuous bridge seat.

6 - Solid, Gravity A Gravity Abutment derives its ability to resist applied loads primarily from its size and weight.

7 - Solid, Counterfort Counterfort Abutments have bracket-like elements which project from the fill side of the backwalls. They provide additional resistance against overturning. The backwall is designed as a horizontal beam between Counterforts.

9 - Stub Abutment on Mechanically Stabilized Earth Retaining Wall Mechanically Stabilized Earth Retaining Walls are sometimes used instead of conventional embankments to support a stub abutment and the approach roadways.

Page | 44

ITEM: Approach Guide Rail Type FHWA 36C Translated PROCEDURE: Record the least desirable (weakest or least likely to be in compliance) Type of Approach Guide Rail immediately adjacent to each end of the bridge. It may be physically attached to the bridge and will generally terminate within 100 feet of the bridge unless there is highway rail for the highway beyond the bridge. If the bridge carries two-way traffic, evaluate the guide rail at each corner of the bridge. For example, if one of the corners has no guide rail, record this as “00 - No Approach Guide Rail”. If the bridge carries one-way traffic, record only the guide rail type at the end where traffic is coming onto the bridge. If vertical posts are used on the approaches with no horizontal rails or cable connecting them, record this as “00 - No Approach Guide Rail,” since this does not constitute a guide rail system. If a guide rail system has been damaged or destroyed, it still should be recorded based on the type of system that was originally in place. CODING: 01 - Bridge does not carry highway traffic. 02 - Box Beam, Weak Steel Post (W3x5.7 section or equivalent). 03 - Safety Shape (Jersey or GM Shape). 04 - Thrie Beam, Weak Post (Thrie beam is a corrugated shape similar to a W-Section, except that it has 3 corrugations and it is approximately 20 inches wide). 05 - Thrie Beam, Strong Post. 06 - W-Section, Weak Steel Post (Post equal to a W3x5.7 section or equivalent). 07 - W-Section, Strong Steel Post (Post larger than a W3x5.7 section) 08 - W-Section, with Concrete Posts. 09 - W-Section, with Wood Posts. 10 - Cable with Weak Steel Post (W3x5.7 section or equivalent). 11 - Cable with Strong Steel Post. 12 - Cable with Concrete Posts. 13 - Cable with Wood Posts. 14 - Steel Pipe. 15 - Concrete Wall with Vertical Face, 27" and higher. 16 - Masonry Wall, 27” and higher. 17 - Masonry Wall, lower than 27”. 18 - Concrete Wall with Vertical Face, lower than 27”. 19 - W-Section, Blocked-out, Strong Steel Post (Post W6x8.5 or W6x9). 97 - Other (railing meets current NYSDOT, NCHRP, or applicable Federal standards). 98 - Other (does not meet current standards). 00 - No Approach Guide Rail

ITEM: Guide Rail Transition FHWA 36B Translated PROCEDURE: Record the Type of Guide Rail Transition used to connect the approach guide rail to the bridge railing. For bridges carrying two-way traffic, evaluate each corner of the bridge and record the least desirable transition. For bridges carrying one-way traffic, record the least desirable Transition, considering only the end where traffic is coming onto the bridge. Unacceptable Transitions have one or more of the following:

• Bridge railing not continuous with the guide rail.

• An unprotected pylon between the end of the bridge and the guide rail.

• Cable guide rail. There is no acceptable cable transition.

• Unstiffened W-Section (no backup channel) connected to, or carried continuously across, the face of the bridge railing.

12 - Continuous, Vertical - Faced Concrete Parapet (with Railing Code 16) is present along the entire length of the bridge. The transition guide rail (upper tube or lower and upper tube) has been extended so that it runs continuously between end transitions and is bolted to the front vertical face of the parapet. The one or two continuous tubes serve as rub rails.

13 - Pylon is present between the end of the bridge railing and guide rail. Either the guide rail or the bridge railing is discontinuous at the pylon.

ITEM: Guide Rail Termination FHWA 36D Translated PROCEDURE: Record the least desirable type of approach Guide Rail Termination. (The terminus is the section of guide rail immediately adjacent to the ends of the bridge). For two-way bridges, the approach termini at all four corners of the bridge must be evaluated. For one-way bridges, only the end where traffic is coming onto the bridge is to be evaluated. CODING: 01 - Approach guide rail is made continuous with the guide rail along the highway. 02 - The highway guide rail is merged with the approach guide rail by “ducking” it under the approach

guide rail. 03 - Approach guide rail is transitioned horizontally and sloped to the ground as shown in Standard Sheet

606-3R4.

Page | 53

04 - Approach guide rail has a sloped end but is not transitioned horizontally. 05 - Approach guide rail is horizontally transitioned and terminates at a vertical post (does not

slope to the ground). 06 - Approach guide rail is not horizontally transitioned and terminates at a vertical post (does not slope

ITEM: Curb Transition NYSDOT

PROCEDURE: Record the least desirable type of Curb Transition on the bridge. For two-way bridges, all four corners must be evaluated to determine the least desirable Curb Transition. For one-way bridges, only the end where traffic is coming onto the bridge is to be evaluated to determine the least desirable Transition. The distance from the curb to the edge of the travel lane, including auxiliary lanes, should be the same on the approaches as it is on the bridge. This is the best practice when approach curbs are involved. An undesirable condition will exist if the difference in curb-to-curb width is not properly transitioned between the approaches and the bridge. A proper Curb Transition is any horizontal slope equal to or less than 1 transverse to 8 longitudinal. CODING: 01 - The curb is transitioned under the approach guide rail in an acceptable manner and the distance from the face of the bridge rail to the face of the curb is less than or equal to one foot. 02 - The curb height is 3” or less (in the transition area) and is transitioned under the approach guide rail in an acceptable manner. 03 - The curb height is greater than 3”, but its face is more than one foot from the face of the rail or guide rail. The curb is transitioned under the guide rail in an acceptable manner. 04 - Curb and/or sidewalk are sloped into the ground. 05 - Curb is carried on the approaches and continued across the bridge. The distance between the edge of the travel lane and the curb is the same on both sides of the bridge and the approaches. 06 - Curb is carried on the approaches and continued across the bridge. The curb-to-curb distance on the approaches is different than it is on the bridge, but the transition, as described in the procedure, is properly made. 07 - Curb is carried on the approaches and continued across the bridge. The curb-to-curb distance on the approaches is different than it is on the bridge and the transition, as described in the procedure, is improperly made. 08 - Curb is carried on the approaches, but the bridge has no curb. 09 - Curb and/or sidewalk end in a vertical face (perpendicular to traffic) without a proper transition. Distance from face of rail to face of curb is equal to, or less than one foot. 10 - Curb and/or sidewalk end in a vertical face (perpendicular to traffic) without a proper transition. Distance from face of rail to face of curb is greater than one foot. 97 - Other (meets current NYSDOT, NCHRP, or applicable Federal standards.). 98 - Other (Does not meet current standards). NN - Bridge does not carry highway traffic. 00 - No curb on the bridge OR the approaches.

NYSDOT PROCEDURE: This is a noneditable field and the value is populated from the last approved General Inspection of the structure. The structure is given an overall assessment using the codes below. Please see Section 6 of the NYSDOT Bridge Inspection Manual for more information. CODING: 1 - Totally deteriorated, or in failed condition. 2 - Used to shade between ratings of 1 and 3. 3 - Serious deterioration, or not functioning as originally designed. 4 - Used to shade between ratings of 3 and 5. 5 - Minor deterioration but functioning as originally designed. 6 - Used to shade between ratings of 5 and 7. 7 - New condition. No deterioration.

ITEM: Sufficiency Rating FHWA This field is no longer used by FHWA and has been retired. It has been removed from the system and the values have been removed from the daily extract.

ITEM: Sufficiency Rating Prefix FHWA

This field is no longer used by FHWA and has been retired. It has been removed from the system and the values have been removed from the daily extract.

ITEM: Condition Rating NYSDOT PROCEDURE: This is a noneditable field. The definition of Condition Rating is provided for historic context. The values in the system are a “Translated Condition Rating” based on the “Translated” AASHTO Elements to NYSDOT Elements effective March 2016. Condition Rating is a value calculated by NYSDOT to represent an overall assessment of the condition of a bridge. It is a numerical value from 1.000 (poor) - 7.000 (excellent).

Page | 66

The computation uses 13 bridge elements considered most important for an overall condition appraisal. Each element is weighted in proportion to its relative importance. The condition of each element is multiplied by the assigned weight for that element, with the result divided by the sum of the weighted values, resulting in the Condition Rating for the bridge. The 13 bridge elements and their respective weights, are as follows:

Primary Members 10 Backwalls 5

Abutments (Stem/Breast wall) 8 Secondary Members 5

Piers 8 Joints 4

Structural Deck 8 Wearing Surface 4

Bridge Seats 6 Sidewalks 2

Bearings 6 Curbs 1

Wingwalls 5

When a bridge has several elements of one kind, such as multiple piers, the lowest rating of all elements is used. Details of the relationship of condition values to the various elements used in the Structural Condition Formula may be found in the Department's Bridge Inspection Manual. Condition Rating is computed to three decimal places using the ratings of the thirteen elements with whole number values assigned. The three decimal point accuracy is significant only for the purpose of "breaking ties" when listing bridges by rank order of Condition Rating. CODING: Numeric 0.000 - 7.000

ITEM: Flags

NYSDOT PROCEDURE: This field provides a three-digit code. The first digit indicates if a Red Flag was identified anywhere on the bridge during the inspection. A “0" indicates no flag identified and a “1" indicates a flag was identified. The second digit similarly indicates if a Yellow Flag was identified and the third digit indicates if a Safety Flag was identified. CODING: Extract (SUBSETS Table) 000 - No Flags identified 001 - Only Safety Flag identified 100 - Only Red Flag identified 111 - One of each Flag identified 010 - Only Yellow Flag identified All other combinations respectively. Extract (RC05 Table) NNN - No Flags identified NNY - Only Safety Flag identified YNN - Only Red Flag identified YYY - One of each Flag identified NYN - Only Yellow Flag identified All other combinations respectively. System (Inspection tab): Yes or No for each flag type

ITEM: FHWA NBIS Status (Future item to be added to the system) NYSDOT PROCEDURE: This item is internally calculated by the system. The item describes the Good (G), Fair (F), and Poor (P) designations as defined by FHWA. These terms are defined in accordance with the Pavement and Bridge Condition Performance Measures final rule, published in January of 2017. Bridge Condition is determined by the lowest rating of National Bridge Inventory (NBI) condition ratings for FHWA Item 58 (Deck), FHWA Item 59 (Superstructure), FHWA Item 60 (Substructure), or FHWA Item 62 (Culvert). If the lowest rating is greater than or equal to 7, the bridge is classified as Good; if it is less than or equal to 4, the classification is Poor. Bridges rated 5 or 6 are classified as Fair. CODING: G - Good F - Fair P - Poor

Page | 113

Note: A prohibition against lead-based paint went into effect on January 12, 1989. State contracts that were let prior to this date may or may not contain lead-based paint. Therefore, each bridge that was let prior to this date should be investigated individually. Non-state contracts are not bound by state specifications. Therefore, non-state bridges should be investigated individually for lead-based paint, regardless of the original contract letting date.

ITEM: Composite Action

NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record whether the span being inventoried was designed for Composite Action. CODING: 1 - Non-composite - No primary member composite action. A jack arch is inventoried as non-composite

unless shear connectors are present. Prestressed bridges with concrete surfaces epoxied in place are considered non-composite if there are no stirrups extending into the deck.

2 - Composite U - Unknown - Use this to record that the existence of Composite Action cannot be determined. N - Not Applicable - Applies when there is no separate structural deck, such as a slab bridge or culvert.

ITEM: Continuity and Curvature NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record whether the span being inventoried is simply supported, one of a series of continuous spans, or part of a suspended span configuration. This field also indicates whether the span is curved in the horizontal plane. In order to be considered a “curved” span, the span length divided by the radius of the curvature must be greater than 0.03 (AASHTO LRFD Art. 6.7.2). If none of the following apply, such as for culverts, code this item as “N”. CODING: 1 - Simple Span 2 - Simple Span- Curved Stringer 3 - Simple Span- Cont. for Live Load – Use code only if the structure was originally designed for this

condition. This category would include prestressed bridges that have been designed as simple span for dead load and continuous for live load.

bearings. 8 - Anchor Span - for Cantilever Span – The span adjacent to a cantilever span. 9 - Cantilever Span - for Fixed, Pinned or Hinged Span – the cantilever span is supporting a suspended

span by a fixed hanger, a pin and hanger, a pin or a hinge. A - Suspended Span - Fixed Hanger – At least one end of the suspended span is supported by a fixed

hanger. B - Suspended Span - Expansion Hanger – One end of a suspended span is supported by an expansion

pin and hanger and the other end is supported by anything but a fixed hanger. E - Suspended Span - Other Than Hangers or Seated – The span does not fit into any of the other

suspended span categories.

Usually used for shorter spans by local Bridge Agencies or as temporary bridges. Type 22 - Thru Arch Description: A Thru Arch has an elliptical shape. The structural deck is supported by hangers which transfer loads from the deck to the arch.

Page | 118

Type 23 - Thru Arch (Tied) Description: A Tied Arch is similar to a Thru Arch except that the horizontal forces are resisted by a tensile member which ties the ends of the arch together

Type 24 - Deck Arch (Open Spandrel) Description: A Deck Arch has an elliptical shaped superstructure. Its structural deck is supported by spandrel columns which transfer load from deck to arch.

Type 25 - Deck Arch (Closed Spandrel) Description: A Closed Spandrel Arch is a Deck Arch. Its roadway is supported by fill which is retained between the deck and the arch by the spandrel walls.

Type 26 - Metal Plate Arch (Pipe) Description: This is a structure composed of curved steel plates supported on concrete substructures. The surface can be smooth but is usually corrugated. The plates are joined by riveting, bolting or welding. The roadway is supported by earth fill which is placed between the arch and the roadway. The fill is contained by full height sidewalls or it is placed on a stable slope.

Type 31 - Movable, Swing Description: A span which can be mechanically rotated 90° to provide unlimited temporary vertical clearance for navigation.

Type 32 - Orthotropic Description: A span with a structural steel plate deck. The deck is connected to the stringers. This connection enables the deck and the stringers to act as a unit to resist applied loads.

Type 35 - Inverset - Plate Girder Description: This is a plate girder with a concrete deck poured integrally with the top flange while the beam is being held in a cambered position by gravity. Shop drawings or contract plans will usually be required to determine that fabrication is by conventional, preflex or inverset methods, since this cannot normally be determined in from visual inspection. Type 36 - Inverset - Rolled Beam Description: This is a rolled beam with a concrete deck poured integrally with the top flange while the beam is being held in a cambered position by gravity. Shop drawings or contract plans will usually be required to determine that fabrication is by conventional, preflex or inverset methods, since this cannot normally be determined in from visual inspection. Type 37 - Suspension Description: A Suspension Bridge has a deck and a stiffening truss suspended from two main cables. These main cables are draped over intermediate towers and anchored at each end of the bridge. Suspender ropes transfer the loads from the deck and the stiffening truss to the main cables.

Type 43 - Multiple Box Culvert Description: Same as type 40 (see previous description), except that this type has multiple spans acting continuously.

Page | 121

Type 44 - Timber Beam Description: This type is composed of solid or laminated timber beams. The deck planks are often transverse to the beams but can also be parallel. In the latter case, the deck planks are post-tensioned together with steel rods.

Type XX - Other Description: Use this to indicate that the type does not match any of the given choices. Type UU - Unknown Description: This code should only be used if the primary members cannot be seen and plans are unavailable.

ITEM: Fracture Critical NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record whether the span being inventoried is Fracture Critical or has Fracture Critical components as defined by the current edition of the Bridge Inspection Reference Manual (BIRM). Two and three girder systems (as per NYSDOT definition in the Bridge Inspection Manual, Appendix C) must be considered Fracture Critical, with the following exceptions:

• The structure is designed with heavy bracing to provide an alternate load path as shown by engineering analysis. In other words, if a girder fractures, the bracing is substantial enough to enable the load to transfer to the other girder(s) to withstand the applied load.

• A three-girder system which supports only one traffic lane. Multi-member spans, which frame into a Fracture Critical component, such as the steel cap beam of a pier, are considered Fracture Critical. For determining 100% hands on inspection requirements, refer to the NYSDOT Bridge Inspection Manual, Appendix C. CODING: 1 - Yes Indicates that the span contains tension or flexural members with tension components

where failure will cause the collapse of the structure. 2 - No Indicates that the span does not contain Fracture Critical members. U - Unknown Fracture Critical status has not been determined.

ITEM: Fatigue Resistance

NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record the most critical Fatigue Resistance category present in the primary members of the span being inventoried, as defined by AASHTO. The descriptions and illustrations of these details and their assignment to the respective categories is found in the New York State Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges. On most structures, several different categories will appear. If this is the case, record the worst category. The upgrade codes should be used only when the governing detail was upgraded by an approved repair procedure. When using any of the three upgrade codes, record the category that applies for the detail

Page | 122

before the upgrade. For example, if an AASHTO category D detail was upgraded to an AASHTO category C detail, it should be recorded as “D, E, and E’ details - upgraded”. The code “N - Not Applicable” may only be used for structures built of materials where fatigue does not apply. These would include concrete, masonry and wood. CODING: 1 - A and B Details 2 - C Details 3 - D, E and E' Details 4 - A and B Details - Upgraded 5 - C Details - Upgraded 6 - D, E and E' Details - Upgraded N - Not Applicable U - Unknown

ITEM: Out-of-Plane Bending NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record whether details are present which can cause steel primary members to be susceptible to damage from Out-of-Plane Bending. Generally, Out-of-Plane Bending occurs when differential deflections between adjacent members cause stress concentrations due to weak axis (out-of-plane) bending which can lead to cracking. Narrow web gaps at connection plates and stiffeners used as connection plates are details that are especially susceptible to this phenomenon. The magnitude of this out-of-plane movement depends on:

• The spacing and relative stiffness of the members

• The bridge skew angle

• The type of framing details The right combination of these factors, in conjunction with a finite number of fatigue load cycles, will initiate a phenomenon called distortion-induced cracking. If allowed to propagate, this cracking can result in a brittle fracture. Out-of-plane bending occurs most commonly in girder webs. Therefore, either the web must be flexible enough to allow the induced deflection to be accommodated, or the web must be stiff enough to work as a unit with the flanges, to resist the out-of-plane force.

If floor beams or diaphragms are connected to a girder using back-to-back, full-height connection plates or stiffeners, the induced force will be resisted by the entire unit, not just the web, so out-of-plane distortion is not an issue. If the gap between the stiffener and the tension flange is greater than four to six times the web thickness, the web is considered flexible enough to withstand the distortion without cracking. The option, “yes - retrofitted”, should be used whenever the susceptibility of a member to Out-of-Plane Bending is an original condition whose severity has been reduced by a retrofit procedure. CODING: 1 - Yes 2 - Yes - Retrofitted 3 - No U - Unknown

Page | 123

ITEM: Load Path Redundancy NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record whether the span being inventoried is considered Load Path Redundant. Consider the number of main structural members and whether or not multiple load paths exist, either by original design or by retrofit. Use the retrofit codes only for structures that have a permanent, designed retrofit. They should not be used to indicate a “temporary fix”. CODING: 1 - Single Member 2 - Two Member 3 - Two Member with Multiple Load Paths. May only be used in cases where this multiple load path

condition has been confirmed through engineering design. 4 - Two Member - Retrofit with Additional Member(s) 5 - Two Member - Retrofit with Multiple Load Paths 6 - Three Member 7 - Three Member with Multiple Load Paths. May only be used in cases where this multiple load path

condition has been confirmed through engineering design. 8 - Three Member - Retrofit with Additional Member(s) 9 - Three Member - Retrofit with Multiple Load Paths A - Multi-Member B - Multi-Member - Retrofitted N - Not Applicable - should be used where the load path redundancy is not a structural factor (e.g.,

tunnel, culvert, etc.) U - Unknown

ITEM: Internal Redundancy NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record the method used to assemble the main structural members as it relates to Internal Redundancy, which enables a main member to redistribute applied loads through multiple internal elements. In other words, a member that is internally redundant will not fail if one of its individual components fails. A built-up riveted girder has high Internal Redundancy because a crack cannot propagate from one of its internal elements to another. Conversely, a welded plate girder has no internal redundancy because a crack can easily propagate from one element to another. The codes “Internally Redundant, Not Specified Above” and “Internally Non-Redundant, Not Specified Above” apply mainly to concrete structures. If a concrete structure is unreinforced or reinforced with minimal steel only, it should be recorded as “Internally Non-Redundant, Not Specified Above”. If a concrete structure contains designed reinforcement, it should be recorded as “Internally Redundant, Not Specified Above”. Timber and other less common materials should be recorded as “N - Not Applicable”. In some instances, the Internal Redundancy of a member is compromised by welding. One example of this is a riveted, built-up plate girder with flange plates tack welded together to aid in fabrication. Another example is a riveted, built-up plate girder with an attachment that is welded to more than one plate. In these cases, use code “8 - Riveted - Internal Redundancy Compromised by Welding”.

Page | 124

CODING: 1 - Welded 2 - Rolled 3 - Riveted 4 - Eyebars - One or Two per Member 5 - Eyebars - Three or More per Member 6 - Internally Redundant - Not Specified Above 7 - Internally Non-Redundant - Not Specified Above 8 - Riveted - Internal Redundancy Compromised by Welding N - Not Applicable U - Unknown

ITEM: Continuity Redundancy NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record whether the span being inventoried is structurally redundant, which refers to the ability of a structure to redistribute its loads, within a primary member, due to the continuity of that member. The end spans of a continuous beam are structurally non-redundant. The interior spans are structurally redundant. Code “S” should be used to record either a simple span, a cantilever span or a suspended span. Code “N” should be used to record tunnels, culverts, rigid frames, etc., where structural redundancy is not a factor. CODING: C - Interior span of a continuous structure which has at least three spans S - Simply supported span or the end span of a continuous structure N - Not Applicable

ITEM: Span Length NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record the length of the span being inventoried to the nearest foot. The Span Length is defined as the distance between adjacent points of support for a superstructure member. For culvert type structures record the clear opening from face of wall to face of wall, parallel with the centerline of roadway. If the span has non-parallel substructures or a curved superstructure, the Span Length may vary transversely from fascia to fascia. In this case, measure the length between adjacent points of support, on both sides of the bridge. These lengths should be measured along the face of the curbs or the inside face of the railings. The length to be recorded is the average of these two measurements. CODING: Numeric 0 - 9999

Page | 125

ITEM: Number of Girders NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record the number of girders/beams for each span of the bridge. Girders transmit load from the deck into the substructures. These elements include closed web (boxes) and open girders (I-Sections). The materials include steel, reinforced and pre-stressed concrete and timber beams. Refer to the Bridge Inspection Manual for more information on numbering. The following Span Design Types shall have the Number of Girder Item left blank: 01-Slab 10-Rolled Beam/Floorbeam System, Deck 11-Rolled Beam/Floorbeam System, Thru 14-Plate Girder-Floorbeam System, Deck 15-Plate Girder-Floorbeam System, Thru 17-Truss, Deck 18-Truss, Thru – (Overhead Bracing) 19-Truss, Thru/Pony – (No Overhead Bracing) 20-Truss, Combination – (Thru and Deck) 21-Truss, Kit Bridge 22-Arch, Thru 23-Arch, Thru-Tied 24-Arch, Deck-Open Spandrel 25-Arch, Deck-Closed Spandrel 26-Arch, Metal Plate (Pipe) 27-Frame 28-Frame with Floorbeam System 32-Orthotropic 40-Single Box Culvert 41-Multiple Pipe Culvert (FHWA) 42-Single Pipe Culvert (FHWA/NYS) 43-Multiple Box Culvert CODING: Numeric 1 - 99 Blank

ITEM: Pier Type NYSDOT PROCEDURE: Record the type of pier that supports the span being inventoried as best described from the codes below. Starting from the begin abutment, the first pier encountered is Pier "1" and it is recorded with Span "1”. The second pier encountered is Pier "2" and it is recorded with Span "2”. All remaining piers are consecutively numbered in this manner. A concrete rigid frame is defined as a multiple column pier which is designed to act as a frame. Frame action occurs only when the vertical column reinforcement is extended into the cap beam or lapped with the cap beam reinforcement to develop the capacity for moment resistance at the beam/column interface. In this case, this item should be coded as “06”.

Page | 126

The concrete column with concrete cap beam configuration is similar in appearance to the concrete rigid frame, except that there is no continuity between the reinforcement in the columns and the reinforcement in the cap beam. Therefore, there is no designed moment resistance at the beam/column interface. In this case, the item should be coded as “08”. CODING:

4.1 BRIDGE STATUS CHANGE PROCEDURES PROPOSED - ACTIVE - DELETED

The following System instructions are provided for information to users who will be entering in new or proposed structures into the inventory. Information for new or proposed structures must be sent to the Region for entry into the system. BIN 1234567-P is a structure that is proposed, may or may not be under construction but is not

open to traffic BIN 1234567 is a structure that has been built and active in the inventory BIN 1234567-D is a structure that has been completely removed from existence Step 1: Making a proposed inventory record:

• Sign into the system with “Inventory Edit” Security Profile Role

• Open all Bridge Inventories in your population: o Go to Structure Manager > Bridges and Culverts > Bridge Inventory > Bridge Inventory -

Active o Select the BIN and click the Edit Inventory Data button. o Are you sure you want to ‘Edit Inventory Data?’ box appears. If the BIN is correct, click

OK

• Change your workflow to edit the record: o In BDIS, go to Structure Manager > Bridges and Culverts > Bridge Inventory > Bridge

Inventory - Edit

• Make a copy of the bridge record you want to edit: o Right click on the BIN and select Insert Like Bridge Record o On the Identification Tab, change the Bridge Status to PROPOSED o In the Identification tab, Under BIN, you need to type in the existing BIN in front of the -P

(ex. 1234567-P) o Make the necessary changes that you can to complete the inventory o Run the error check, make changes if necessary and submit to QC then QA o This will now add a proposed bridge inventory record to the system o The Proposed BIN (ex 1234567-P) must go through the QA approval process before the

next step can be started. o QC should let QA know when it has been submitted to QA to accelerate the process o An email will be sent informing when Step 2 can be started

• CANCEL EDITS ON THE ORIGINAL BIN so that bridge record remains intact and work flows related to that bridge will continue (automatic scheduling for inspection etc.)

Step 2: Deleting the original record:

• Once the Proposed BIN has been accepted (ex. 1234567-P), the original BIN (ex 1234567) can be deleted ONLY IF the structure has been demolished.

o Send the original BIN (ex 1234567) to Inventory Edit. Right click on the BIN and Delete. o Submit to QC, then QA. o The deleted BIN (1234567-D) must through the QA approval process before the next

step can be started. o QC should let QA know when it has been submitted to QA to accelerate the process o An email will be sent informing when Step 3 can be started

• DO NOT DELETE AN INVENTORY RECORD IF THE BRIDGE STILL EXISTS! You can make a proposed inventory record and it can remain in the system indefinitely until it is built.

Step 3: Making the proposed record an active structure:

• Once QA has accepted the DELETED BIN, (ex 1234567-D), the PROPOSED BIN (ex 1234567-P) can be changed to Active Status.

o In the Identification tab, Under Bridge Status, select Active. o Submit to QC, then to QA.

Page | 160

o QC should let QA know when it has been submitted to QA, it will speed things up. o Once QA has accepted (BIN 1234567), the system will automatically add the new

structure to the inspection schedule. The Inspector will then be able to make any additional inventory changes as needed.

***If a BIN has a -P, that means it is proposed. The Bridge Status MUST BE Proposed, never Active. ***If a BIN has no -P or -D, the Bridge Status MUST BE Active.

4.2 BRIDGE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (BIN) ASSIGNMENT PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION OF BIN: The Bridge Identification Number (BIN) is a unique seven-character identifier with the first six characters being numeric and the seventh character being either numeric or alphabetic. BINs are initially assigned based on the logic presented in this section. Over time the conditions used to assign a BIN may change, but the original BIN is retained, therefore, one cannot assume that the meaning of a BIN is retained. BINs are assigned by the Bridge Data Systems Unit of the Office of Structures. WHEN A NEW BIN IS ASSIGNED: A new seven-character BIN is assigned for the following conditions:

a) A new bridge on new alignment which does not replace an existing bridge (except as noted in d.) b) A new bridge on close alignment to an existing bridge which is remaining in place. c) Construction or reconstruction of a multiple pipe culvert that originally did not qualify as a bridge,

but now does. d) A new bridge which is in the same location as one which was removed and deleted from the

Bridge Inventory some years before. For example, if a bridge was on the Bridge Inventory at one time and then the bridge was removed and deleted from the inventory and then a new bridge was built some years later, the new bridge would be assigned a new BIN.

The first 6 characters of a BIN are retained, but new last character assigned for the following conditions:

a) A bridge that replaces two bridges in a PARALLEL configuration with a single bridge will be assigned a new BIN using the same first 6 digits. In this situation, record the change of the last digit of the BIN from a 1 or 2 to a 0 in the Work History comment field of the old BINs prior to deleting the BINs in the inventory.

b) A second bridge built next to an existing bridge in a PARALLEL configuration, or two new parallel bridges replace a single bridge. Both bridges will share the first 6 digits of the existing BIN and the last digit of each BIN will change to reflect the parallel configuration. Record the change of the last digit of the BIN from 0 to 1 or 2 in the Work History comment field of the existing BIN (prior to deleting if the structure is demolished and replaced).

WHEN THE EXISTING BIN IS RETAINED:

a) A new bridge on existing or close alignment with an existing bridge which is replacing the existing bridge.

b) An existing bridge which is being improved. *Additional circumstances may also cause the BIN to be replaced or retained as in the case of large interchanges with ramps and varying configurations before and after construction.

BIN ASSIGNMENT: The BIN is originally assigned using the following process:

DIGIT 1 DIGITS 2 - 6 DIGIT 7

1 State 2 Local 3 County 4 Canal 5 Authority/Commission 6 Indian Reservation 7 Railroad

Sequential numbers using first digit.

0 Two way 1 - 2 One-way, parallel configuration 3 - 6 Stacked 7 Bi-Level, Lower level 8 Bi-Level, Upper level 9 Reserved, no longer used. A - Z Ramps

Page | 162

Digit 1 – Owner:

1. State: Any bridge owned/constructed by a NYS agency including NYSDOT, Parks and Recreation, DEC, etc.

2. Local: Any bridge owned/constructed by a Town, City or Village 3. County: Any bridge owned/constructed by a County 4. Canal: Any bridge which crosses the NYS Barge Canal. 5. Authority/Commission: Any bridge owned/constructed by an authority or commission. 6. Indian Reservation: Any bridge constructed within the jurisdiction of an Indian Reservation. 7. Railroad: Any bridge which is owned/constructed by one of the railroads operating in the state.

The priority for assigning the first digit is prioritized as follows:

• Canal

• Indian Reservation

• Railroad

• State

• Local

• County Digits 2 – 6:

Sequentially assigned based on Digit 1. Digit 7:

0 (zero) – A single bridge serving two-way traffic. 1-6 Parallel bridges – Are bridges which generally carry the same type of service passing over a common type of service and have a positive opening between the superstructures. A designed joint, whether open or filled does not constitute parallel structures. Divided highways which have discontinuous culverts in line carrying the same flow of water, are considered to be in parallel configuration and are to be inventoried accordingly. The first six characters of the BIN for parallel bridges are the same 6 numbers. The last character of the BIN is coded “1" to “6" with Bridge number 1 being the bridge farthest to the left when looking in the direction of orientation. The Direction of Orientation is described under the Identification Tab. 3 - 6 Stacked bridges – Are bridges that carry different services and share portions of substructure. For example, a highway crosses over a RR which crosses over a ravine and the highway bridge and the RR bridge share at least one pier. Stacked, multi-level bridges crossing at the same location which share the same first 6 digits, but are assigned a different last digit. The structure lowest in elevation is assigned a 3, the next lowest structure assigned a 4, etc. 7 - Bi-level, lower level – Bi-Level bridges carry two levels of traffic one on top of the other (“double decked”). Bi-level bridges share substructures and at least portions of the superstructure. For example, the upper and lower levels of the George Washington bridge. If the bridge has a bi-level configuration, each level is considered as a separate bridge. The components of each bridge which solely serve one level are associated with that level. Components which serve both levels are split between the two levels. Portions serving solely the upper level are associated with the upper level. Portions which serve both levels are associated with the lower level; e.g., the portion of a pier supporting solely the upper level extends downward to the point where that same pier picks up the load for the lower level. At this point the rest of the pier is associated with the lower level.

Page | 163

The first six characters of the BIN for each level will be the same. The last character of the BIN will be coded “7" for the lower level structure and “8" for the upper level structure. 8 - Bi-level, upper level – See above. 9 - No longer used A - Z Ramps connected to a parent structure – Ramp structures are defined as bridge spans connected to a parent bridge. Each ramp structure has the same first six characters of the BIN as the parent bridge to which it is connected. The last character of the BIN is assigned letters “A” - “Z” for each of the ramp structures. Looking in the “Direction of Orientation” from the beginning of the parent structure, letter each ramp structure beginning with letter “A” and continue in a clockwise direction around the parent structure. For parallel bridges with ramps, looking in the Direction of Orientation from the parent parallel bridge with the last digit being “1", ramps connecting either parallel bridge will be designated beginning with the letter “A” and continuing thru the alphabet in a clockwise direction. If the bridge is not in a parallel configuration, or not a bi-level structure, or is not a ramp structure, then the last character of the BIN is assigned a “0". The priority for assigning the seventh digit is prioritized as follows:

• Ramps to parent bridges

• Stacked, multi-level bridges

• Bi-level bridges

• Parallel configuration bridges

• Single bridges serving Two-way traffic

4.2 LARGE CULVERT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (CIN) ASSIGNMENT PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION OF CIN: The Large Culvert Identification Number (CIN) is a unique seven-character identifier consisting of alpha and numeric characters. CINs were initially assigned based upon a logic that considered Region Number, Residency Number, and a unique four-digit code assigned to a Residency. Over time the logic used to assign a CIN has changed, but the original CIN may be retained. Therefore, one cannot assume that the meaning of a CIN is consistent with other CINs even within the same region. In September of 2009, a new but simple procedure was put in place for the assignment of CINs. CINs are assigned a unique seven-character identifier starting with the alpha characters “CA” and following with a five-digit number sequentially assigned starting at “00001” regardless of location, feature carried, feature crossed, or type of service carried. CINs are assigned by the Bridge Data Systems Unit of the Office of Structures. WHEN A NEW CIN IS ASSIGNED: A new seven-character CIN is assigned for:

a) A newly constructed structure on the state highway system that meets the definition of Large Culvert.

b) A newly found structure on the state highway system that meets the definition of Large Culvert. c) A structure on the state highway system that was once a bridge but now meets the definition of

Large Culvert within the Large Culvert program. Example: A bridge size structure that was replaced, rehabilitated, or re-lined and now meets the definition of Large Culvert.

d) A structure on the state highway system that was once a small culvert but now meets the definition of Large Culvert. Example: A small pipe culvert that was replaced with a structure meeting the definition of Large Culvert.

4.4 BRIDGE ABANDONMENT PROCEDURE Purpose: This document outlines the procedure for abandonment. The Regional Bridge Inventory and Inspection Coordinator (RBIIC) is responsible for identifying bridges for abandonment. If a bridge has been closed to traffic for 5 or more years, NYSDOT can administratively declare the bridge to be abandoned using the procedure below. The BIN will remain with the abandoned bridge and not be reused at a different location or on a different structure. Abandoned bridges shall be barricaded to all traffic with permanent obstacles. Once abandoned, the bridge:

• Will no longer require a general inspection (please refer to the NYS Bridge Inspection Manual for other possible requirements)

• Will remain in the inventory with the appropriate coding until it is demolished or replaced by a structure which does not meet the definition of a bridge

• Is not reported to FHWA

• Is not included in aggregate reporting or capital program management For State Owned Bridges, abandoning a bridge requires authorization by the Regional Director or designee once it has been determined to abandon the structure. For Non-State Owned Bridges, the bridge owner shall be notified in writing of the Department’s intention to abandon the bridge and of the ramifications for abandoning a bridge. The bridge owner shall be asked to respond in writing with their intentions for the bridge and the Department shall proceed accordingly. If the bridge owner does not respond within four weeks of notification, then the bridge can be administratively abandoned by the Department. Administrative Instructions to Regional Personnel:

• Receive proper authorization from Owner

• Complete NYSDOT BRIDGE ABANDONMENT REPORT

• Submit form via email to structuresdata@dot.ny.gov

• Subject of email should be “Bridge Abandonment Report: BIN XXXXXXX”

• Copy Regional/MO personnel as necessary

4.5 BRIDGE DELETION PROCEDURE Purpose: This document outlines the procedure for deletion. The Region is responsible for identifying bridges for deletion. A structure shall be marked as deleted in the inventory only AFTER it has been:

• Demolished,

• Demolished and replaced with a new structure, or

• Demolished and replaced with a structure that does not meet the definition of a bridge.

While a bridge is in service, it should NEVER be in a deleted status. Deleted bridges have a “-D” at the end of the BIN in the inventory. Demolished structures: If a bridge has been completely demolished and has not been rebuilt, the inventory record shall be marked for deletion in the inventory software. Instructions to follow below. Demolished and replaced with a new structure: If a structure is replaced with a new structure and the BIN is being reused for the new structure, the existing inventory shall be copied and inserted as a proposed inventory record. The existing original record shall be marked for deletion after it is demolished, and the copied record shall be updated for the new structure. DO NOT edit the existing active inventory record to reflect the new structure. If the new structure has a new BIN, create a new record to be added to the inventory. The existing record shall then be marked for deletion once the new structure is opened to traffic. Demolished and replaced with a non-bridge: The existing record shall be marked for deletion. If the replacement structure is state owned and meets the definition of a large culvert, a new record shall be added to the Large Culvert Inventory with a new CIN. Non-state owned replacement structures that do not meet the definition of a bridge are not included in the inventory. Administrative Instructions to Regional Personnel:

• Receive proper documentation from Owner, where applicable

• Complete NYSDOT BRIDGE DELETION REPORT

4.6 LARGE CULVERT DELETION PROCEDURE Purpose: All structures that meet the definition of a large culvert on the State Highway System only are included in the large culvert inventory. This document outlines the procedure for deletion. The Region is responsible for identifying large culverts for deletion. A structure shall be marked as deleted in the inventory AFTER it has been:

• Demolished,

• Demolished and replaced with a new structure, or

• Demolished and replaced with a structure that does not meet the definition of a large culvert.

While a large culvert is in service, it should NEVER be in a deleted status. Deleted large culverts have a “-D” at the end of the CIN in the inventory. Demolished structures: If a large culvert has been completely demolished and has not been rebuilt, the inventory record shall be marked for deletion in the inventory software. Instructions to follow below. Demolished and replaced with a new structure: If a structure is replaced with a new structure and the CIN is being reused for the new structure, the existing inventory shall be copied and inserted as a proposed inventory record. The existing original record shall be marked for deletion after it is demolished, and the copied record shall be updated for the new structure. DO NOT edit the existing active inventory record to reflect the new structure. If the new structure has a new CIN, create a new record to be added to the inventory. The existing record shall then be marked for deletion once the new structure is opened to traffic. Demolished and replaced with a non-large culvert: The existing record shall be marked for deletion. If the replacement structure is a bridge sized structure, a BIN shall be requested. If the replacement structure is a small culvert (less than five feet in span/diameter), then the structure is no longer inventoried or inspected within the Office of Structures and is maintained by a different office. Administrative Instructions to Regional Personnel:

• Receive proper documentation from Owner

• Complete NYSDOT LARGE CULVERT DELETION REPORT

4.7 CLOSED BRIDGE PROCEDURE Purpose: A closed bridge is a structure that has been barricaded to prevent the primary flow of traffic over the structure. The closing of a bridge can be done for multiple reasons and either as a planned event or as a response to a critical finding. If a bridge is closed for more than a day, it is critically important to those responsible for routing oversize/overweight vehicles and issuing permits as well as to Executive Management. This procedure identifies who should be notified, what information is needed and how to submit a Closed Bridge Report. In addition, the closing of a bridge for any length of time raises the question of the importance of the bridge and its priority for Federal and State funding. Therefore, the intent of the owner on what will be done with the bridge is important to identify at the time of closing or shortly thereafter. A closed bridge will continue to be inspected per the current NYSDOT Bridge Inspection Manual and will remain in the inventory unless it is Abandoned or Deleted from the Bridge Inventory. Administrative Instructions to Regional Personnel: This instruction is for the inventory software updates and paper documentation portion of the closing. Additional information on bridge closure and notifications can be found in the Bridge Inspection Manual.

• Complete NYSDOT CLOSED BRIDGE REPORT o Additional information from other program areas may be needed for detour routes and

limitations, temporary structures, etc. This is needed for the Department’s automated permitting software as well.

Section 5: Quality Control and

Quality Assurance

Page | 204

This page intentionally left blank.

Page | 205

5.1 Quality Control Quality control is a detailed process that includes field reviews and careful examination of all components of an inventory submission. Quality control is accomplished by carefully checking all data fields of an inventory submission for accuracy, completeness, continuity, reasonableness, and conformance with this manual. Inventory submissions are an integral part of the overall bridge and large culvert inspection programs. In addition, the inventory items for the bridge program are considered to be an integral part of a data base that is used to meet several Federal reporting requirements as set forth in the National Bridge Inspection Standards (23 CFR 650.3). The Quality Control Engineer (QCE) or Inventory QC designee is the person who is ultimately responsible for ensuring that an inventory is complete and accurate and certifies that quality control has been done by his/her submission to Quality Assurance. An inspection and inventory is not official until it is certified by the QCE and accepted by Quality Assurance.

5.2 Quality Assurance Bridge and Large Culvert inventory quality assurance is the responsibility of the New York State Department of Transportation’s Office of Structure’s Structural Evaluation Services Bureau’s Bridge Data Services Unit (BDSU). The activities of BDSU relating to Quality Assurance (QA) reviews of inventory submissions are:

• Administer and maintain the Department’s Bridge and Large Culvert Inventory Data.

• Perform Bridge and Large Culvert Data System Quality Assurance on inventory submissions.

• Provide system assistance to State Employees, Consultants, and Authorities. BDSU currently performs a QA review for every bridge and large culvert inventory submission; this may change in the future. Submissions are reviewed at a quality assurance level, not a quality control level. A QA review is an overall, somewhat cursory review of a submission that looks for continuity, consistency, reasonableness, completeness, and accuracy. As stated above, the QCE is the person who is ultimately responsible for a complete and accurate inventory submission. QA reviews include, but are not limited to:

• Standard Photos o Standard photos include: Quad Map, Location Map, Approach Begin/End, Elevation,

Framing Plan, Abutment Begin/End, Pier(s), postings and/or Unusual Features, Feature(s) Crossed.

o Photos shall be replaced every 6 years or if significant changes have been observed. For more information, refer to the New York State Department of Transportation Bridge Inspection Manual.

• SSU Inventory Tab: A cursory review is done to ensure that SSU’s are not added or removed without the consent of the NYSDOT Bridge Inspection Unit.

• NBI Items Tab: A cursory review is done to ensure that the Scour Critical Type data field has not been changed through this process.

• A QA level review is performed on the Identification, Structure Details, Safety/Utilities, Posting, Feature Carried, Feature Crossed, Span Inventory (not including Span Element Inventory), and Work History Tabs.

Once a QA review is done, the submission is either accepted by BDSU QA and placed into the active inventory, or it is rejected by BDSU QA with comments attached and sent back to the editor for corrections.
