INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the acceptance of the public improvement
construction contract for the Brunskill Road Bridge Reconstruction Project, Iowa DOT
Project No. BROS-2100 (659)-8J-31.
BACKGROUND
The Brunskill Road Bridge (FHWA No. 502740) is located over the North Fork Catfish
Creek and was originally built in the 1900's. Due to the age of the structure and prior load
restriction, together with the substandard roadway and bridge geometry, the bridge
required complete reconstruction.
In September, 2009, the City requested that the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa
DOT) place the Brunskill Road Bridge on the City Bridge Candidate List for FY2011 Bridge
Replacement Program funding.
In November, 2009, the City received notification from the Iowa DOT that the Brunskill
Road Bridge was eligible to receive federal funding for replacement. The federal bridge
replacement program provides 80% funding of the eligible participating costs or
$1,000,000.00 whichever is less and the City will be responsible for the remainder of the
funding.
The completed replacement Brunskill Road Bridge is a 110'-0” x 30'-6" cast-in-place
concrete slab (CCS) bridge with an 8-foot separated pedestrian sidewalk on the north side
of the bridge. The bridge has protective barrier rails on each side which is very similar to
those on the B-Branch bridge crossings. The new bridge and both approach roadways on
each side have been designed to accommodate a 30-mph design speed, the posted speed
limit will remain at 25 mph.
DISCUSSION
The Brunskill Road Bridge Reconstruction Project was completed by Taylor Construction,
Inc. of New Vienna, Iowa, in the final contract amount of $805,526.74 which is a 1.7 %
increase from the original contract amount of$791,970.65.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council accept the public improvements and authorize the
payment of the contract amount of $805,526.74 to Taylor Construction, Inc., for the
Brunskill Road Bridge Reconstruction Project.
