Title
Action on Resolution 23-020, a Bridge Inspection Program Resolution for use with South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) Retainer Contracts.
Body
Summary:
The proposed Resolution will authorize SDDOT to retain the services of Civil Design Inc. for the 2023 City of Brookings Bridge Inspection Program.
Background:
SDDOT manages the Bridge Inspection Program as part of the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) Program. All bridges and box culverts in the program are required to be inspected at intervals not to exceed two years, with the exception of reinforced concrete box culverts that meet specific criteria. The City of Brookings has three bridges and one box scheduled for inspection in 2023 (see attached map).
The City adheres the NBIS standards so Federal Bridge Replacement Funds can be utilized to hire consultants for the inspections. The proposed Resolution will authorize SDDOT to secure federal approvals and make the payments to the consultant for inspection services. The total cost to inspect the three bridges and one box culvert is estimated at $6,000. SDDOT will fund 80% ($4,800) from the Federal Bridge Replacement Funds and the City will fund 20% ($1,200) from the City’s Storm Drainage Fund.
The City is recommending Civil Design Inc.(CDI) as the consultant for this project. CDI has conducted the City’s bridge inspections since 2017 and their staff is familiar with the structures.
