Temporary Shoring Guidelines
Revision 0 | 10/1/2010 Page 1 of 10
TEMPORARY SHORING I. Overview Excavation in close proximity to railroad tracks is unavoidable. This guideline is designed to assist in the preparation of shoring documents so that review time is limited.
This document is only a guideline and the preparer is still required to follow any agency-specific requirements including: AREMA, Railroads, OSHA, IDOT, FRA, or other governing agency in the jurisdiction. Note this document is only applicable to Metra-owned tracks.
These guidelines are provided as reference and may not be taken as authority to construct without prior written approval of the Metra. The Contractor must not begin construction of any component of the shoring system affecting Metra right-of-way until written approval has been received from Metra.
II. Submittals To expedite shoring review the following items should be submitted with the review package.
• Design calculations stamped and signed by Illinois Licensed Structural Engineer
• Lateral pressure diagram
• Deflection calculations at top of wall and bracing locations including elastic deflection of the wall and the passive deflection of the resisting soil mass.
• Drawings or sketches of the proposed shoring consisting of:
1. Plan view showing wall limits and distances from centerline of track (see attached example)
2. Cross section (see attached example) showing excavation support system, top of rail elevation, distance from centerline of track to near face of excavation support, maximum excavation depth with elevations, elevation of bracing, tip elevation, etc.
3. Connection details.
• Soil report and boring logs
III. Design Excavation support shall be based on AREMA Manual for Railway Engineering, Chapter 8, Section 20 and Section 24.
Lateral Pressure from train loads shall be based on Cooper E 80 train load (Figure 1) and active earth pressure due to railroad surcharge shall be calculated using the Boussinesq Equation for strip load per AREMA 8-20.3.2.2 (Figure 2). Uniform surcharge (q) shall be based on an 8.5 foot long tie, 5 foot axle spacing and 80 kip axle load resulting in q=1.88ksf. See attached Table 1: Lateral Pressure from Train Load Example Calculation for additional variable designations
A simplified engineering analysis may be used, the railroad loading surcharge pressure may be assumed rectangular with width (P) equal to 0.8 of the maximum pressure as given by the appropriate railroad curve (Table 2: Lateral Pressure from Cooper E 80 train loads).
Temporary shoring on the Metra Electric Line may be designed for Cooper E 65 loading with approval from Metra.
All shoring systems must be analyzed for overturning, sliding and global stability.
Lateral live load deflection shall be limited to 3/8” for shoring located within 18’-0” of centerline of track and ½” for shoring located outside 18’-0”. The maximum allowable vertical of horizontal displacement of rail shall be ¼”.
ADDENDUM NO. 1 - IFB 56358 - EXHIBIT R
Temporary Shoring Guidelines
Revision 0 | 10/1/2010 Page 2 of 10
Material allowable stresses based on AREMA shall be as follow:
• Structural Steel: 0.55Fy for compression in extreme fiber. (AREMA Table 15-1-11)
• Structural Steel: 0.35Fy for Shear. (AREMA Table 15-1-11)
• Sheet Pile Sections: 2/3 of yield strength of steel. (AREMA 8.20.5.7)
• Concrete: 1/3 of Compressive Strength. (AREMA 8.20.5.7)
• Anchor Rods: ½ of yield strength of steel. (AREMA 8.20.5.7)
No AISC allowable stress increase for temporary loading condition will be allowed.
IV. General Requirements All components of the temporary shoring system are to be removed when the shoring is no longer needed. Track cross section and drainage facilities must be restored.
All Temporary shoring systems within the clearance envelope (see attached AREMA Minimum Railway Clearance sketch) shall be terminated below the top of rail.
An OSHA acceptable handrail is required around all excavation.
No cantilever shoring will be allowed within 12 feet of active rails.
No MSE walls will be allowed within the limits of E80 surcharge.
Cold formed piling will not be accepted within the limits of E80 surcharge.
Track deflection monitoring shall be implemented. Elevations of top of rail shall be taken at 50 foot intervals for a distance to extend 100 feet beyond the limits of excavation. Elevations shall be recorded at the following intervals: prior to shoring construction, at completion of shoring construction, following first train through area, daily there after and once shoring has been removed or as directed by the Engineer.

3.3 PCB- and Mercury-containing Equipment The walk-through inspection did not identify PCB- and mercury-containing equipment within the
switchgear cabinets.
The 47th Street Yard contains several transformers. However, Metra has indicated that all
transformers are dry-type and do not contain liquids and therefore, no PCBs.
3.4 Soils The soil analytical results for the waste characterization sample were compared to criteria
established for acceptance of materials as special waste at a Subtitle D landfill (paint filter,
flashpoint, hazardous components, etc.) The results of the investigation indicate acceptable
concentrations that would not prevent disposal at a Subtitle D landfill.
Soil sample locations are provided on Figure 3. Appendix C presents the soil analytical
laboratory results and chain-of-custody sheets. Appendix E presents the laboratory licenses and
accreditations.

Conclusions and Recommendations
4.1 Asbestos-Containing Materials The ACM survey did not identify the presence of ACM within the medium voltage distribution
area.
Note: Since the scope of work included only visible and accessible areas, it is possible that some
ACM were omitted from the survey because they were concealed behind panels or within
concrete. Only a destructive survey can reveal all potentially concealed ACM. Any additional
potential hazardous materials encountered that will be disturbed during demolition activities and
that differs from materials sampled during this survey should be further sampled and analyzed.
Materials that are not listed in Table 1 were not tested during this survey. Such materials are
required to be assumed and treated as ACM until tested and proven otherwise.
4.2 Lead-Based Paint The LBP survey did not identify the presence of lead within the painted surfaces of the medium
voltage distribution area. These materials are summarized in Table 2.
In addition, CDM Smith recommends that prior to any demolition activities in which LBP surfaces
may be impacted or disturbed, a lead mitigation/abatement project design shall be prepared. For
the surfaces/components that tested negative during this survey, the OSHA Lead in Construction
Standard states that “negative” readings, i.e. those below the HUD/EPA definition of what
constitutes LBP (1.0 mg/cm2), DO NOT relieve contractors from performing exposure
assessments (personal air monitoring) on the their employees per the OSHA Lead Standard, and
should not be interpreted as lead is not present. Although a reading may indicate “negative”,
airborne lead concentrations still may exceed the OSHA Action Level or the OSHA Permissible
Exposure Limit (PEL) depending on the work activity. CDM Smith recommends that prior to any
demolition activities, engineering control measures be implemented to minimize the generation
of dust and site worker exposures to lead.
Surfaces/components that are not listed as either LBP positives or negatives were not tested
during this survey. Such surfaces/components are required to be assumed and treated as LBP
until tested and proven otherwise.
4.3 PCB- and Mercury-containing Equipment Equipment containing mercury or PCBs was not identified within the medium voltage
distribution area.

If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts. Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)). ---------------------------------------------------------------- The body of each wage determination lists the classification
ADDENDUM NO. 1 EXHIBIT V
14
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate). Union Rate Identifiers A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014. Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate. Survey Rate Identifiers Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. Union Average Rate Identifiers Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in
ADDENDUM NO. 1 EXHIBIT V
15
the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based. ---------------------------------------------------------------- WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be: * an existing published wage determination * a survey underlying a wage determination * a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter * a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed. With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to: Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to: Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to: Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final. ================================================================ END OF GENERAL DECISION"
