Painting the Louisville and Jeffersonville Bridge
The Louisville and Jeffersonville Bridge across the Ohio River at Louisville was completed in May, 1895. Owing to a disagreement with the contractor as to the terms of the contract regarding painting, no painting had been done during erection, except on joints and parts in accessible after erection. It was finally agreed in the settlement that the painting should be done by the company, and bids were received from several contractors for doing the work on a lump-sum basis. The most favorable bid received amounted to $7 500 for labor and equipment, the company to furnish the paint. It was thought by the chief engineer, Mr. Epes Randolph, that the work could be done by the company's force for less money, so men were employed, equipment was purchased and the work done under the direction of the author at a cost for labor, equipment and insurance of $4 928, and for paint of $3 769, making the total cost $8 697. Careful record was kept of the cost of labor and materials for different parts of the work, and the purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of the results obtained and give such data on the cost of painting as were established and may be of value.
