KITTITAS COUNTY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />PUBLIC WORKS — BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />WORK SESSION DATE: March 28, 2016 <br />TOPIC: Sargent Engineers, Inc. Task Order No. 12 <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 />Ongoing bridge inspections are revealing structural issues of concern requiring <br />structural engineering evaluation. On 3-23-2016, a site visit to Hungry Junction <br />Road (Cascade Canal crossing) identified significant corrosion of exterior girder <br />reinforcing steel. Portions of the reinforcing steel can now be removed by hand. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />While the reinforcing steel corrosion appears bad, a structural evaluation from <br />Sargent Engineers, Inc. will likely define any necessary remediation efforts. <br />Public Works anticipates additional needs during our 2016 bridge inspection <br />cycle. Having access to on-call inspection services will minimize delays <br />responding to inspections of concern going forward in 2016. <br />FISCAL IMPACTS: <br />$10,000 is requested for initial task order authorization. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />EXHIBIT 1: Task Order No. 12 <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />
