IV. Explanation
The Scope of Services for this project included all the requirements of the Restoration of the Van Buren Footbridge and North Stair in Grant Park, which had been closed to the public prior to restoration. The work included complete removal and replacement of the deteriorated bridge precast concrete, concrete structural deck and topping slab, and north stair precast concrete components. Through research and field investigation of existing conditions, a Bridge Condition Report concluded that the original steel superstructure of the bridge did not require replacement, but recommended several repairs that were completed as part of this project. New precast concrete balustrade components were modified slightly to comply with current City of Chicago Building Code requirements and were treated with an anti-graffiti protective coating. Adjacent sections of deteriorated asphalt and concrete paving were replaced. All conduit and utilities traversing the bridge were replaced, with additional spare conduit provided for future utilities. Eight (8) mismatched light fixtures positioned on top of the bridge balustrade were replaced to match the historic design standard consistent throughout Grant Park. Irregular orientations of two monumental rostral columns framing the formal west entrance to the bridge were repositioned to restore their perfect alignment.
