Subject: 3rd Street Bridge Repair Project – Supplemental Agreement #3March 3rd, 2014
FiledMarch 3rd, 2014The N. 3rd Street Bridge was constructed in 1961. It is a fracture critical type of structure so it needs to be inspected bi-annually. Because of the type of this structure, the IDOT requires that it be inspected “at arms length”. An under bridge investigation was needed to complete the bridge inspection for the N. 3rd Street Bridge and specialized equipment was needed to carry out this inspection. The Department of Transportation owns this type of equipment and was willing to lease it to us along with their operators. Calhoun-Burns & Associates also had one of their bridge engineers on- site during the inspection. Council approved this agreement on March 23rd, 2009. After the inspection, Calhoun-Burns generated a report listing items on the bridge that are in need of repair.
