Description
The City of Salina is seeking a qualified contractor to paint and coat the North Ohio Overpass, including concrete surfaces, bridge fencing, and lighting fixture housings, while coordinating railroad flagging services. The scope requires use of a specific three‑coat Tnemec system, limited surface‑preparation for woven‑wire mesh, and no work on the underside of the rail. Successful bidders must arrange approved flagging for Union Pacific and Kansas & Oklahoma railroads, with an estimated flagging cost of roughly $1,500 per day for UPRR.
• Concrete coating using Tnemec Series 151‑1051 Prime Coat and Series 156 Enviro‑Crete Intermediate/Finish coats, with defined coverage rates.
• Painting of bridge fencing, streetlight and pedestrian light housings, and other metal fixtures; sandblasting not required for woven‑wire mesh.
• Coordination with Union Pacific and K&O railroads, including procurement of approved flagging contractors and adherence to daily train traffic schedules (2 UPRR trains, 6‑8 K&O trains).
• No cleaning/painting required on the underside of the rail attached to the concrete barrier, reducing scope.
• Flagging services estimated at ~$1,500 per day (UPRR) plus separate cost for K&O as referenced in the Q&A.
