Hello, I have experience with timber structural design, small bridge framing, load paths, footing concepts, and construction documentation for outdoor structures. I’m interested in this project because a 16 to 20 foot creek bridge must be simple to build, durable in wet conditions, and strong enough for light vehicle traffic. I can also provide relevant samples of prior structural and timber design work. I will review the site span, creek conditions, vehicle loads, soil or bearing information, and local permitting needs before selecting the timber members, decking, railings, abutments, and connections. I will prepare a clear design package with plan, elevation, sections, material notes, connection details, and load assumptions, and I can coordinate a Washington-licensed PE review or stamp if required. I will also outline construction steps and identify any missing site data before finalizing the drawings. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin

A vehicle bridge is a life safety structure, so let me be upfront about scope before anything else. I can produce the concept design, span geometry, and detailed CAD drawings for your wooden bridge, but final structural calculations must carry a Washington licensed PE stamp, and any work affecting the creek will likely need a Hydraulic Project Approval from WDFW plus SEPA review through your local county. I say this now because a proposal claiming otherwise would put your project at risk later. What I understand: a 16 to 20 foot span, weather resistant timber, sized for light vehicle loads, crossing a seasonal creek. My workflow: 1. Reference AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design guidance and the USDA Forest Service Timber Bridge Manual for standard geometry and connection types suited to your span 2. Produce CAD concept drawings, plan, elevation, and section, with abutment layout and timber species options rated for exterior exposure 3. Prepare drawings formatted to support a licensed PE's calculation package, so your engineer's work starts faster 4. Flag the HPA and SEPA requirement clearly in my deliverable notes so you know the permitting path before construction Deliverables: concept CAD set, material specification sheet, and a permitting checklist referencing WDFW and your county. I am ready to start before this bid closes. Send me the creek width and bank elevation, and I will return an initial span layout sketch as a free working sample.

Hello, I am a structural engineer with experience in light timber structures and small-span bridge design, including load-rated pedestrian and vehicle-access applications in accordance with U.S. design standards. For your 16–20 ft wooden vehicle bridge, I would begin with a site load assessment considering seasonal creek conditions, soil bearing capacity, and applicable Washington State and local code requirements. The structural system would be developed using durable, treated timber or engineered wood members, with a focus on moisture resistance, drainage detailing, and long-term durability under light vehicle loading. I would then design the superstructure and substructure, including deck system, joists, beams, and support abutments, ensuring proper load transfer, deflection control, and lateral stability. Connection detailing would be optimized for constructability and durability in wet conditions. Final deliverables would include stamped-style structural drawings, load calculations, and construction-ready details suitable for permitting and execution. I am confident in delivering a safe, code-compliant, and buildable timber bridge design suited to site conditions and vehicle use requirements. Thank you, James.
