KITTITAS COUNTY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />AGENDA STAFF REPORT <br />AGENDA DATE: May 1, 2018 <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Approve a Notice of Call for Sealed Bids for the Number 6 <br />Road Bridge #79051 Replacement Project <br />BACKGROUND: The bridge on Number 6 Road over Town Ditch is in need <br />of replacement. The substructure - originally built in 1955 <br />- is severely abraided, and the abutments are experiencing <br />settlement due to erosion that has occurred below the <br />footings. The existing structure is very narrow, measuring <br />only 23.7' wide from curb to curb. <br />This project will replace the existing bridge with a new <br />structure that is 32.0' wide. This additional width will <br />adequately support projected future traffic volumes. The <br />replacement bridge will be founded on piles, making it less <br />susceptible to settlement. <br />The contract plans, specifications, and engineers estimate <br />were prepared by KPFF. <br />The Engineers estimate for the proposed project is <br />$710,645. Kittitas County Public Works has received <br />$684,900 in funds from the Rural Arterial Program for this <br />project. <br />Bids are scheduled to be opened publicly on May 25th, <br />2018 at 10:00 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 />Number 6 Road Bridge 479051 Replacement Project. <br />HANDLING: Return one (1) copy to Public Works <br />ATTACHMENTS: Notice of Call for Bids <br />LEAD STAFF: Sara Folk, Engineering Services Manager <br />
