Task Order No. 8 Amendment 2 <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Request to Authorize the Directors Signature on the <br />Task Order <br />LEAD STAFF: Mark R. Cook <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Authorize the Director's signature on the Task Order. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />In fall 2015, during a routine bridge inspection, staff identified a failed wooden <br />abutment on the North Thorpe Highway/Taneum Road intersection. An <br />immediate design proposal was sought from Sargent Engineers. The previous <br />County Engineer directed a design anticipating construction without having to <br />obtain federal permitting. <br />In February 2016, Public Works reviewed the proposed design and identified <br />significant constructability issues with the design. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />We are asking Sargent Engineers to redesign the structure and provide <br />permitting support for late 2016 — early 2017 construction. <br />FISCAL IMPACTS: <br />Redesign costs are estimated at $28,550. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />EXHIBIT 1: Task Order No. 8 —Amendment No. 2 <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />
