Dept. of Public Works <br />Page 2 <br />Thorp Highway bridge abutment. Last year during <br />a routine bridge inspection it was discovered that <br />an abutment timber was completely rotten and one <br />lane was closed. Staff went into an emergency <br />design to replace that structure. The previous <br />County Engineer wanted to avoid any permitting on <br />the project and gave direction to the Consultant to <br />do a design where it would leave us out of a <br />permitting condition. That design was provided in <br />late January, early February. Bridge Inspector Ken <br />Bamford and Mark felt that it couldn't be <br />constructed the way it was designed. Mark brought <br />the design concerns to the Consultant and he felt it <br />would be very difficult to build. It was agreed to <br />push the project back and pursue an alternative <br />design. Some level of permitting may be necessary <br />for the new design. Commissioner O'Brien asked <br />what the total value of the project. Mark responded <br />$75,000. Commissioner Berndt inquired as to how <br />much was lost in funding for the previous design <br />and it is around $30,000. Discussion was held. <br />Board Direction: Commissioner Jewell made a motion to <br />authorize the Director's signature on Task <br />Order No. 8, Amendment 2 with Sargent <br />Engineers, Inc. Commissioner Berndt <br />seconded the motion. Approved. <br />REQUEST TO AUTHORIZE THE <br />PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR TO <br />SIGN TASK ORDER NO. 11 WITH <br />SARGENT ENGINEERS, INC.: <br />On the current 6 year Transportation Improvement <br />Plan the No. 6 Road Bridge Replacement is <br />budgeted in the plan for $125,000 for design this <br />year. We have gotten a task order from the bridge <br />design consultant in the amount of $114,000, which <br />is less than we anticipated paying. Mark is asking <br />to get approval to sign the task order with Sargent <br />Engineers, Inc. Discussion was held. <br />Board Direction: Commissioner Jewell made a motion to <br />authorize the Director's signature on Task <br />Order No. 11 with Sargent Engineers, Inc. <br />Commissioner Berndt seconded the motion. <br />Approved. <br />411 N.
