SEP 17 N91 �oaK E <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved <br />the release of the 10% retainage, as set out in the <br />above staff recommendation. <br />INSPECTION_ OF_WABASSO_CAUSEWAY-BRIDGE <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 9/16/91: <br />TO: _ <br />FROM: <br />SUBJECT: <br />James E. Chandler, <br />County Administrator.. <br />James W. Davis, P.E., <br />Public Works Directo <br />Inspection of Wabasso Causeway Bridge (CR510) <br />DATE: September 16, 1991. FILE: inspbrd.agn <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />To assess expansion joint movement and minor cracking of <br />bridge piers, the County staff has located- a bridge <br />inspection vehicle which is already mobilized to South <br />Florida. The cost for the vehicle is estimated to be $6,600 <br />only if it can be scheduled for use this Thursday, Sept. 19, <br />1991. If the machine is transported back to Georgia next <br />week, the cost would increase approximately $1,000 minimum <br />and as much as $4,000 depending on availability. <br />The County's bridge consultant, Post, Buckley, Schuh, and <br />Jernigan, Inc., has submitted a proposal for inspection and <br />engineering services at a cost not to exceed $14,420. The <br />County has an existing contract with this firm and the work <br />could be authorized by issuance of a Work Order and <br />identified as additional services. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Staff has contacted the DOT to determine if the state's <br />inspection vehicle can be loaned to the County for this <br />work. Unfortunately, the DOT District IV vehicle is in <br />repair and cannot be made available. Staff and our bridge <br />consultants have received three additional proposals for <br />rental of the equipment, but all three are more costly. <br />The bridge consultants proposal has been reviewed by staff <br />and appears reasonable. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Staff recommends that the Board approve rental of a bridge <br />inspection vehicle for a cost of not to exceed $6,600 (All <br />Crane Rental of Georgia), including operator, fuel, travel <br />expenses, etc. In addition, approval is recommended for <br />issuance of a Work Order to Post,• Buckley, Schuh, and <br />Jernigan, Inc. to provide inspection and engineering <br />services for the Wabasso Causeway Bridge. Funding to be <br />from 1991/92 Road and Bridge Division budgeted funds (111- <br />214-541-033.13). <br />27 <br />
