KITTITAS COUNTY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />STUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />STUDY SESSION DATE: February 27, 2017 <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Informational Only <br />BACKGROUND: Public Works entered into an agreement with the <br />Washington State Department of Transportation <br />(WSDOT) to repair Bridge Number 89091 on Naneum <br />Road. <br />The repairs needed for the bridge include the <br />replacement of the timber caps and timber uprights <br />which are showing signs of significant deterioration. <br />Additionally one of the concrete abutment footings is <br />undermined approximately 2.5' which has resulted in <br />a vertical crack in the center of the abutment <br />extending through the footing. <br />Public Works agreed with a WSDOT provided repair <br />estimate of $23,676 which included the purchase of <br />the materials and all costs associated with the repairs. <br />Both WSDOT and Public Works agree the repairs <br />must be completed by April 1st 2017. Recently it has <br />been brought to our attention that the materials may <br />not be delivered until mid -march 2017 which could <br />hinder the ability for us to meet the April 1st deadline <br />which coincides with the startup of the 2017 irrigation <br />season. <br />Public Works recognizes that if these repairs are not <br />completed the need for additional consultant <br />inspections will be necessary and may require the <br />bridge to either be reduced to one lane for through <br />traffic or closed entirely until the repairs are <br />completed in the fall of 2017 following the <br />commencement of irrigation season. <br />INTERACTION: Public Works <br />
