ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously <br />approved staff's recommendation of Alternative <br />No. 2, to not pursue this project at this time. <br />BRIDGE RAIL BARRIER FOR NEW COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE BRIDGE <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 4/11/88: <br />TO: Charles P. Balczun, <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. '_C) <br />Public Works Director'" <br />SUBJECT: Bridge Rail Barrier for New <br />Country Club Drive Bridge <br />REF. LETTER: David T. Corrie, Lloyd and Assoc. Inc. to <br />Jim Davis dated April 6, 1988 <br />DATE: April 11, 1988 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />When the Country Club Bridge was initially designed, Staff <br />proposed a post and rail barrier along each side of the bridge so <br />that improved sight distance would result. As you know, the 30th <br />Street/Country Club Drive intersection .is just north of the <br />bridge. <br />Recent discussions with the Florida DOT have indicated that the <br />post and rail barrier is no longer adequate to meet state <br />standards. As a result, Lloyd and Associates is requesting the <br />County to fund the construction of a solid 32" high concrete <br />barrier on each side of the bridge. If this is approved, state <br />standards will be met and potential liability reduced. <br />Three bids have been solicited to perform the work as follows: <br />1) Middle Atlantic Foundation $20,750 <br />2) RA-JAC, Inc. $16,000 <br />3) J.B. Walker Construction $11,700 <br />The Engineer's estimate is $17,640 <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />The alternatives are as follows: <br />1) Approve the low bid of $11,700 from J.B. Walker Construction <br />and waive the formal bidding process. The solid barrier <br />will provide lesser sight distance. <br />2) Construct a post and beam rail which provides better <br />visibility. Cost is approximately $10,000. This rail <br />will not meet state barrier standards. <br />3) Formally bid the solid barrier rail. <br />26 <br />APR 19 1988 <br />nu 71 on107 <br />
