Common use of Minor Repair Clause in Contracts

Minor Repair. The restoration of a structure, including all its appurtenances, to its original condition (or as subsequently improved) insofar as practical. Minor repairs include any activity intended to correct the effects of minor material deterioration by restoring the damaged member. Minor repairs are generally defined as repairs to bridge elements that are structurally sound (i.e., no loss of strength), but may have minor section loss, cracking, spalling, or scour. Minor repairs are un-anticipated routine maintenance, usually identified by bridge inspectors. Examples include but are not limited to repair and/or replacement of an in-kind deck joint and localized material restoration of: deck expansion joints and joints system, deck surfaces, sidewalks, drainage systems, bridge railing systems, superstructure members and bearing devices, substructure members, waterway channels, approach slabs, anchorages, all fender system components, mechanical, electrical or hydraulic systems, replacement of individual parts of the mechanical, electrical or hydraulic systems and structural crack injection and matrix loss restoration. Should a joint or joint system be partially or completely damaged, then the entire bridge width of the joint and affected nosing portion of joint system shall be replaced. Periodic Maintenance and Major Repair: The restoration of a structure, including all its appurtenances, to its original condition (or as subsequently improved) insofar as practical. Major repairs include any activity intended to correct deteriorated members. Conditions requiring major repairs include loss of section, deterioration, spalling, or scour that affect the strength of the member, replacement or upgrading of the mechanical, electrical or hydraulic systems. Engineering analysis is often performed to determine the extent of the lost strength. Examples include but are not limited to localized or full material restoration of: deck expansion joints and joint systems, deck surfaces, sidewalks, drainage systems, bridge railing systems, superstructure members and bearing devices, substructure members, waterway channels, approach slabs, anchorages, all fender system components, concrete restoration requiring reinforcement splicing, structural crack injection and matrix loss restoration, and metal fabrication to restore the integrity of or to replace structural elements. The scope of this Contract does not include performance of Bridge Rehabilitation defined as follows:

The scope of this Contract contract does not include performance of Bridge Rehabilitation defined as follows:: Rehabilitation: The improvement or betterment of a structure, including all its appurtenances, to a condition meeting or exceeding current design standards, insofar as practical. Examples of rehabilitation include: widening a bridge to meet lane/shoulder width requirements, replacement of substandard bridge rails, raising a bridge to meet clearance requirements, strengthening a bridge to increase load carrying capacity to accepted limits, and upgrading the operational equipment of a movable span.
