(1)This section describes the design, construction, maintenance, and removal of a temporary structure of

the width specified and of t he necessary waterway area.

526.2Materials

(1)Furnish materials conforming to part 5. The contractor may inc orporate used materials in the structure

if they are sound and suitable for the purpose intended.

526.3Construction

526.3.1 Permits and Coordination

(1)The contractor shall obtain any necessary permits as specified in 107.3 and shall coordinate with the

issuing agency in securing the permits and complying with the t erms of the permits. 526.3.2 Design

(2)The temporary structure shall span the stream and have dimensi ons sufficient to not constrict stream

flow during use. The basic desig n criteria shall provide for a 5-year frequency storm with 6 inches of backwater. The plans shall show the minimum bridge length between abutment sheet piling, and the resultant five-year frequency high water elevation. Determine t he minimum low superstructure elevation using the given high water elevation and considering local conditions. The structure shall have the minimum roadway width sp ecified in the special provisi ons as measured between the faces of the railings or curbs, and at right angles to the centerline . Provide vertical abutments designed to prevent spilling fill material i nto the stream. If building a temporary crossing over a stream or lake subject to boating use, constru ct it to provide horizontal and vertical clearance, as the jurisdictional agency may require, adequate for row boats and small power boats.

Submit inspection reports on department form DT2007 to the engineer and electronic copies to the department's bureau of structures maintenance section. Ensure t hat a department-certified active team leader, listed online in the department's highway structures information system, performs the inspections.

(3)Maintain temporary structures and approaches in place until no longer needed. Unless the engineer

directs otherwise, completely re move and dispose of as specifie d in 203.3.4 . Contractor-furnished materials remain the contract or's property upon removal.
