KITTITAS COUNTY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />PUBLIC WORKS -- BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />WORK SESSION DATE: March 14, 2016 <br />TOPIC: Manastash Bridge Update <br />ACTION REQUESTED: None Required <br />LEAD STAFF: Mark R. Cook <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />None required — informational only. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Public Works began work replacing the Manastash Bridge in late 2015. The <br />Board of County Commissioners has been previously briefed on project progress <br />to date. Recently, Public Works recently suspended construction on the project <br />owing to improperly cast exterior bridge girders. The girders did not provide <br />minimum clearance of reinforcing steel supporting the cast in place bridge rail. <br />Rejection of the substandard girders requires re -casting that is expected to take <br />several weeks. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />Owing to the delay of recasting bridge exterior girders, temporarily suspending <br />the project minimizes adverse impacts for the contractor's obligation for project <br />completion within the time allocated in the construction contract. The delay will <br />likely minimally impact overall project delivery, as paving is not anticipated to <br />complete until sometime in May 2016. The contractor is not requesting cost <br />recovery for passible rental bridge impacts at this time. <br />FISCAL IMPACTS: <br />None anticipated. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />None. <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />
