PROJECT INFORMATION
101.1 Owner: Republic of Lithuania (RoL)
101.2 Name of Project: Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant (VNPP)
101.3 Location of Project: Lithuania
SCOPE OF WORK
102.1 Project Background:
a. As part of the Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant project in Lithuania, a corridor has been identified as a heavy haul corridor that will be used to transport and deliver nuclear facility equipment to the project site, as indicated in Article 116.1.a. The equipment exceeds typical highway restrictions and limitations for weight, width, and height, and a specialized heavy haul transporter vehicle operated by a qualified contractor will be required to haul the equipment.
b. The corridor originates in the city of Klaipeda, Lithuania, on the Baltic Sea, where the equipment will be offloaded from heavy lift shipping vessels and transferred to heavy haul transporter vehicles, and continues for approximately 550 kilometers to the project site located in Visaginas. The limits of Work defined in this Specification are from Klaipeda port pier to the boundary of the VNPP construction site.
c. The corridor was identified and selected primarily to utilize public roads suitable for heavy haul transportation and to avoid fixed overhead obstructions; however, the corridor poses several unique challenges to improve and upgrade the infrastructure in order to achieve a serviceable haul road.
102.2 Each segment of the corridor shall be evaluated to verify viability and determine the necessary improvements to meet the criteria specified herein. Each evaluation shall include a condition assessment that determines the load carrying characteristics, geometric parameters, physical barriers and constraints to be altered. The evaluations shall include data collection and gathering design input consisting of, but not limited to, the following:
a. Perform geotechnical investigation to determine existing soil strength and soil quality values that will be used for determining existing and for designing new pavements and structures.
b. Perform structural evaluation and assessment of bridges and culverts to determine integrity and load rating.
c. Perform topographic surveying and mapping to accurately document existing surface features and overhead obstructions, and to verify property limits and ownership, where warranted.
d. Perform subsurface utility surveying and mapping to identify and document utility crossings along the heavy haul corridor and within road/structure improvement areas.
d1. Evaluate and record environmental conditions where required as part of the permitting process.
e. The existing road and infrastructure conditions along the corridor vary significantly, and include asphalt paved highways, municipal streets, and unsurfaced trails as identified in Articles 116.1.b, c, d and j. The full extent of overall design work will be confirmed after the condition assessment and improvement evaluation phases, however based on initial reconnaissance information the work shall include the following Design Activities:
e1. Design road structural section upgrades and improvements to increase the load carrying capacity and stability as necessary to meet the minimum criteria specified herein.
e2. Design road intersection modifications, and improve horizontal and vertical alignment along the corridor to provide sufficient width, grade, and curvature to satisfy the combined heavy haul transporter vehicle and equipment dimensions (as defined in transportation schemes), turning movements, and operating requirements.
e3. Design permanent modifications and improvements for existing bridge and culvert crossings to stabilize, stiffen, and reinforce superstructure and substructure elements to withstand design heavy haul loads and to satisfy transporter dimensions and operating requirements.
e4. Design new bridges, culverts, and buried utility protection systems where existing bridges, culverts and utilities are not capable of supporting design heavy haul loads.
e5. Design relocations and/or alterations for overhead obstructions, including traffic sign trusses and utility crossing bridges, truss mounted traffic signals, and low voltage electric cables (4kV and 10kV).
e6. Identify relocation and/or alteration requirements for overhead obstructions and traffic control appurtenances that will be relocated, including high voltage electric transmission lines (35kV, 110kV, and 330kV), light poles and/or lighting mast arms, post mounted traffic signals, and post-mounted traffic control signs.
e7. Develop stopping areas along the heavy haul transporter corridor to be used for fueling and vehicle maintenance (maintenance performed by the heavy haul transporter vehicle personnel).
e8. Develop overtaking zones or traffic bypass plans along the heavy haul transport corridor to be used to minimize traffic congestion.
e9. The Design Consultant shall prepare deliverables consisting of technical specifications and design drawings to identify the material quality and installation requirements for the Design Activities specified above to be used for construction, permitting, scheduling, and cost estimating. The deliverables shall meet both local, state, and national codes, standards, and regulations within Lithuania and Lithuanian road bounding parameters defined in Article 103 and the combined heavy haul transporter vehicle and equipment requirements defined in Article 104.
e10. The Owner may prepare a pre-haul test plan for portions of the heavy haul corridor to be performed after construction improvements are completed to verify that the as-constructed heavy haul road is able to withstand anticipated live loads from the heavy haul transporter.
102.3 To support the required design and engineering, this Functional Technical Specification has been prepared to define the overall objective of the project, and to identify the minimum requirements and criteria that shall be used by a qualified Design Consultant to design the heavy haul road.
102.4 This Specification may not be all inclusive, and the expectation is that the knowledge and experience of the Design Consultant will supplement the requirements defined in this Specification. This Specification is intended for the evaluation of existing facilities and the design of upgrades, modifications, and alterations for the heavy haul road construction upgrades: this Specification is not intended to meet the long term design criteria of the haul road after completion of the project, nor to meet the long term design criteria of the local and national governing agencies; however, at a minimum the existing functional classification of each road segment that is modified in any way shall continue to meet current functionality with regard to traffic use and safety, utility easement and ownership, and storm water drainage and conveyance.
102.5 This Specification covers the requirements and criteria for performing a detailed corridor investigation and roadway/bridge design. The scope shall include verification of design inputs, environmental impact assessment, preparing preliminary and final documents for review, permitting support, developing cost estimates, and preparing a detailed schedule covering design, permitting, and construction.
102.6 Design Consultant Requirements and Qualifications:
