RESOLUTION: 2003-36
SUBJECT: Design of a new bridge to replace the existing bridge on Kipling Street over Bear Creek.
RECOMMENDATION: Public Works recommends that City Council authorize an agreement with the consulting firms of Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig to design a new bridge to replace the existing bridge.
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER: The existing bridge at Kipling Street over Bear Creek is a steel truss structure with a steel open grate deck, which accommodates a 28-foot roadway width. The bridge is narrow, structurally deficient and must be load posted to warn larger vehicles to avoid the bridge. Federal-aid funds are available to help replace the bridge with a new bridge that will be wider, longer and higher to provide a safer structure and accommodate a future bike path under the bridge.
Federal funds totaling $566,000 have been obtained for the project. The City's contribution is estimated to be $150,000. Administration of the bridge project must be coordinated through CDOT in order to obtain the federal funds. The money for Lakewood's share is available from the Capital Improvement Fund.
On May 21, 2003, four bridge design firms were interviewed and the firm of Felsburg, Holt and Ullevig was selected as the best qualified to design the replacement bridge. The City will manage the bridge replacement project and provide design and construction survey services.
Design fees are estimated not to exceed $100,000 for this project. Design, including necessary environmental clearances, will commence as soon as the intergovernmental agreement with CDOT is executed. The bridge design is anticipated to be completed by early 2004 so that the project can be advertised, bid and awarded during the first quarter of 2004. Construction is scheduled for completion by the end of 2004.
