Summary
Memo
Re: Resolution No. 66.18 â Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into
an Agreement with the Franklin County Engineer's Office for Bridge
Inspection Services within the City of Dublin's Jurisdiction
There are a total of 91 bridges located within the City of Dublin's jurisdiction, Dublin is responsible for
the inspection of 53 of these bridges with Franklin County and ODOT responsible for inspecting the
remaining 38, The Ohio Revised Code defines a bridge as any structure of ten feet or more clear span or
ten feet or more in diameter on, above, or below a roadway, It is critical and required by law that all of
these bridges are thoroughly inspected annually by a professional engineer or other qualified person
under the supervision of a professional engineer, Such inspections are intended to identify potential
safety concerns of a bridge as well as maintenance and rehabilitation needs.
In the interest of cooperation and efficiency, Dublin staff has been coordinating with the Franklin County
Engineer's Office (FCEO) staff for the inspection of bridges within Dublin's jurisdiction, The FCEO will
perform the inspections in accordance with state standards and complete inspection and condition rating
reports for each bridge,
The FCEO will provide the inspection services at a cost not to exceed $15,000, Staff has determined
contracting with the FCEO to perform these inspections will be more cost effective and efficient than
contracting with a consulting firm, The inspections will be completed on or before December 31, 2018,
The FCEO will invoice Dublin describing the work performed and associated costs after the work is
completed.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 66-18, authorizing the City Manager to enter into an
Agreement with the Franklin County Engineer's Office for Bridge Inspection Services within the City of
Dublin's Jurisdiction,

Exhibit A â Scope of Services
Bridge Inspection Requirements:
1. The intent of this contract is for a Professional Engineer ("Engineer's to make a routine
condition inspection of the 53 bridges in Table A. The Engineer shall complete the
inspections in accordance with the latest Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT)
Manual of Bridge Inspections and the Bridge Inspector's Reference Manual (FHWA).
2. The ODOT Bridge Inspection and Condition Rating Report shall be completed for each
bridge inspected and submitted to ODOT on behalf of Dublin through ODOT's Structure
Management System (SMS). In addition, at least four (4) digital photos of each bridge
showing: a view up -station, a view down -station, and a view from each the left and right
sides of the bridge shall be uploaded to SMS. Additional photos shall also be submitted
for any problem areas noted in the inspection.
3. The Engineer shall provide all necessary traffic control, personnel, equipment, tools, and
incidentals including ladders and scaffolding.
4. The Engineer shall be responsible for identifying and noting all visible defects in the bridge
whether as a result of deterioration, original construction or original design. The Engineer
shall also be responsible for identifying and noting areas of potential failure as a result of
anticipated deterioration, past construction or maintenance practice and/or inadequate
original design.
5. The Engineer will not be responsible for conditions which are not obvious through usual
and customary visual inspection or through standard state-of-the-art testing. The
Engineer will not be responsible for identifying and evaluating portions of the bridge which
comprise of poor quality materials and/or inadequate structural design unless obviously
visible to a trained and experienced bridge inspector/engineer performing the inspection
services in accordance with the customary standards of the profession.
6. The Engineer will not be responsible for structural conditions which occur after the date
of the last site visit, providing the condition was not visibly evident at the time of the last
visit and the Engineer used usual and customary procedures to inspect the bridge.
7. If an in-depth inspection is specified, the Engineer will be required to visually inspect all
main structural members of the bridge within an arm's reach distance. On welded girder
type bridges, this will require access to both sides of each girder so that all fatigue prone
connections can be inspected within arm's reach. Any cracks discovered and or suspected
as a result of this hands-on visual inspection shall be documented and shall be further
defined with the use of dye penetrant, magnetic particle or ultrasonic devices.
8. Any steel structure with lower lateral bracing, pins and hangers, fatigue prone
connections, steel pier caps (either of box section or I section), bridges with transverse
floor beams and stringers, or any other unusual connection details, shall be carefully
inspected for cracks, poorly designed details, or poorly fabricated details. A
recommendation shall be made, if necessary, whether a retrofit program or corrective
modification should be taken with a description of the proposed solution, and if any traffic
limitations should be initiated. The City of Dublin shall provide adequate access so that
all such details can be visually inspected within arm's reach (even for routine inspections).
9. Any observed section loss on members which are normally analyzed to determine safe
load capacity of the bridge, shall be measured and documented quantitatively (ultrasonic
thickness gauge, calipers etc.) to allow for subsequent re -analysis of the structure.
Analysis of the structure will not be required.
10. Underwater inspection, requiring the use of divers, shall not be required. The Engineer
will be required to probe around all substructure units located in water, unless the stream
depth is such that probing is not feasible. All such findings shall be reported.
11. Any additional destructive testing, other than that previously mentioned, shall not be
done.
12. The Engineer shall notify the City Engineer of any and all serious deficiencies immediately
upon discovery, in order that they may be observed by Dublin from available scaffolding
or access equipment. After completion of the inspection, the Engineer must review areas
of special concern with Dublin personnel at the site.
13. Where, in the judgment of the Engineer, it is necessary to remove some portion of the
structure to achieve complete and adequate inspection, no action shall be taken without
prior approval of the City Engineer.
14. All invoices for inspection services shall be submitted to City Engineer.
15. All inventory records are available via the SMS.
