r.. Date: 02/11/92 CEWMDPR - RIS1 From: Dave Ritter CEWMJRH - RIS1 To: Bob Hammitt Gene Shutt CEWMEGS - RIS1 cc: Richard Zucker CEWMRXZ - RIS1 Subject: Willow Creek Bridge The joint City /County Bridge Project has been completed. There is still some surface work to be done extending 4' wings on each end of the Bridge but that will be done at a later date. Don Dunaway of Lane County has contacted the State for the Bridge inspection. Work consisted of bolting a new bulk head to the existing ones and doing the same for a major cross stringer. The eight day project was completed in three. Don contributed that to two things; 1. The fact that we(City) took the time to go through the hoops to close the street down for the project. 2. The quality of the help they received from us. I had originally worried because I had heard some grumblings about how we were there to observe and not to get down in the water and mud. I informed those on the project that this was one of those things that could attract media /political attention. We were there to do anything we were asked and to do it well. Sounds like everything went well. Don is giving us a 5 year guarentee. After that if the Bridge is not replaced we would be looking at taking the deck off, replacing it and all the stringers. I would recommend that the Bridge is replaced with something besides wood. Don said if we start today it will take almost 5 years to get the necessary permits to replace the Bridge. Since it is on the wetland area various studies have to be done. I feel we should be letting Eng. know soon so they can start the necessary steps to getting this done. The other thing that needs to be recorded(depending on who takes this over) is that Lane County is loaning us the materials they used. When and if we get the Bridge replaced they would like the salvage rights to the material they used(we havent seen the bill yet so Im not sure if they charged us for the materials). DR
