HomeMy WebLinkAboutResolution 44-22 To: Members of Dublin City Council From: Dana L. McDaniel, City Manager Date: September 20, 2022 Initiated By: Robert J. Taylor, Director Asset Management & Support Services Re: Resolution No. 44-22 – Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into an Agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation for Bridge Inspection and Other Related Bridge Services within the City of Dublin’s Jurisdiction (ODOT PID Number 109334) Summary There are currently a total of 98 bridges located within the City of Dublin. Dublin is responsible for the inspection of 54 of these bridges with Franklin County and ODOT responsible for inspecting the remaining 44. The Ohio Revised Code, Section 5501.47, 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 these bridges are thoroughly inspected annually or biennially, based on the condition, 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. Dublin staff had been contracting with ODOT under their Municipal Bridge Inspection Services program (PID 109334) of which the City of Dublin is eligible. This agreement continues this contract through 2023 under a new PID 117554. ODOT will provide the inspection services at no cost to the City of Dublin for bridges for which the city has inspection responsibility obtained from ODOT’s SMS data. The inspections will be completed by a competent consulting team hired by ODOT. The consultant will provide the following services, as applicable: bridge inspection program services, including, but not limited to routine inspections, element level inspections, critical findings report, fracture critical member inspections, load rating calculations and reports, weight limits posting sign recommendations, scour assessments, scour plan of actions, development of fracture critical plans, and underwater dive inspection reports if needed. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of Resolution 44-22, authorizing the City Manager to Enter into an Agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation for Bridge Inspection and Other Related Bridge Services within the City of Dublin’s Jurisdiction.
