RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
A recent review of city-owned bridges by the Florida Department of Transportation identified
several bridges which are in desperate need of repairs. The structural inspection reports shows
bridges with a Low Sufficiency Rating which require extensive repairs. The bridge repairs are
critical to restoration of the Bridge Sufficiency Rating to a higher (safer) rating, extending the life
of the bridges approximately 5-10 years. Further, seawall repairs have been deferred for several
years, resulting in the need to quickly begin repair and possible replacement of several sea walls
throughout the city.
ANALYSIS
BRIDGE REPAIR
The Administration recommends that $435,000 be appropriated from Fund No. 351 to enable repairs
to four bridges that require extensive repairs, and set aside funds for other emergency repair work.
The funds are to be used to contract for the services of engineering consultants and marine
contractors to conduct all repairs necessary to return them to a higher sufficiency (safety) rating. The
bridges that require the most immediate attention are at the following locations:
. Bridge No. 8767-07 - 500 feet North of 20th Street and North Bay Road.
. Bridge No. 8767-19 - Hawthorne at 77 Street.
. Bridge No. 8767-28 - Normandy Waterway (300 feet North of Normandy Drive)
. Bridge No. 8767-29 - Normandy Waterway (1,200 feet North of Normandy Drive)
