Mr. Jack G. Jennings January 29, 1980 Page -two- attached (Attachment B). Work on this phase commenced June 25, 1979 and was completed July 27, 1979. In the second phase, a comprehen- sive field inspection of each structure was performed. The inspection determined the detailed physical characteristics of the bridge com- ponents and their current condition, documented with photographs; the condition of the watercourse beneath the bridge; and the charac- teristics and the condition of the roadway approaches and their effects on the bridge. The second phase commenced on July 30, 1979 and was essentially complete September 21, 1979. The compilation of the field inspection data and the inventory information into the inspection report was accomplished in the third phase. The reports include a map of the County with the structure location and State bridge number noted; a determination of the load capacity of the structure; the field inspection data detailing the current condition of the structure; sketches providing details of the structure type and location of structural deficiencies, if any; pertinent bridge elevations; and watercourse details. Based on the above information, a bridge evaluation sheet was prepared and included in the report. This sheet serves as a summary establishing the bridge location and provides a description of the bridge type, commentary on the bridge condition, and recommendations for maintenance and structural im- provements. Photographs are included in each report for documenta- tion of location and condition. The DOT Structural Inventory and Appraisal Form is then completed with a copy included in the report and a copy attached which will be sent to the DOT. In addition to the reports, a comprehensive wall map showing the locations and bridge numbers for bridges under the County's jursidiction has been completed and will be submitted to the County. The program resulted in the location, inventory, and inspection of 80 bridges within Indian River County which are presently under the County jurisdiction. The majority of these structures are in fair to good condition with no structural deficiencies. Recommendations for these bridges include maintenances items which will extend the useful life of the structure and enhance the bridge's safety from a traffic standpoint. However, 16 of the bridges inspected will re- quire some structural rehabilitation or replacement -to maintain their sturctural integrity. A summary of these bridges and the corresponding required improvements are listed in Attachment C. One of the more critical bridges on this list, Bridge Number 884002, was discussed with the County in a meeting between Mr. Neil Nelson and Ms. Alma Lee Loy, representing the County, and Messrs. John Robbins and Greg Edmonds representing the joint venture, on October 11, 1979. Sub- sequent to this meeting, adequate rehabilitative work was performed FEB 61980 BOOK 42 Pa�E65Q
