Damage to the <br />substructure has been identified on the girders and the cross <br />beams. <br />Additionally, settlement at both bridge approaches have been <br />identified resulting in the design and proposed construction of <br />new approach slabs. <br />Resolution 2017-058 funding the shortfall of $445,000 for the <br />construction of the Dolarway Roundabout, required the <br />County to move forward with the required repairs. <br />The Engineers estimate for the proposed project is <br />approximately $215,000. <br />This project will repair the damaged substructure and install <br />approach slabs. The contract will require early cure high <br />strength concrete to expedite construction. A two week <br />closure will be required to accommodate the construction as <br />traffic is not manageable over the bridge due to conflicts with <br />width and concrete cure efforts. <br />A full closure is anticipated to be in effect the evening of <br />September 18`x' through October 2"d 2017. These closure <br />dates have been communicated and agreed upon with Central <br />Washington University. <br />Bids are scheduled to be opened on August 9th; 2017 at 10:00 <br />a.m. in the Public Works Department. <br />INTERACTION: Public Works <br />RECOMMENDATION: Move to approve Notice of Call for Sealed Bids for the <br />University Way Project, <br />HANDLING: Return one (1) copy to Public Works <br />ATTACHMENTS: Notice of Call for Bids <br />LEAD STAFF: Lucas Huck, County Engineer <br />
