North%20Ohio%20Overpass%20Q%26A%20UPDATED%209-8-26

The City of Salina is seeking a contractor to paint the North Ohio Overpass, including concrete coating, steel structure, barriers, and lighting fixture housings. The scope calls for a Tnemec coating system on previously painted concrete, flagging services for Union Pacific and Kansas & Oklahoma railroads, and limited surface‑preparation (no full sandblasting of bridge‑fencing mesh). The project requires coordination with railroad traffic (2 UP trains and 6‑8 K&O trains daily) and the use of approved flagging contractors. No painting is required on the underside of the rail attached to the concrete barrier. • Apply Tnemec Elasto‑Grip FC primer and Tnemec 156 Enviro‑Cret intermediate and finish coats to concrete surfaces. • Perform painting of all lighting fixture housings and general steel components of the overpass. • Provide railroad flagging services (≈ $1,500 per day for UP) using NRSS or RailPros; coordinate with railroad contacts. • Follow revised surface‑preparation guidelines (Addendum 1) – no full sandblasting of bridge‑fencing wire mesh.
