D. Bridge The process of identifying bridge projects for the STIP relies on the Bridge Management System. ~ ODOT maintains a complete inventory of all state (and local) bridges longer than 20 feet. The aggregation of structure inventory, condition data collected on a routine basis, and appraisal data ' assigned according to national guidelines fulfill the requirements of the National Bridge Inven- tort' (NBI). Data required by the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) and additional (, data collected by ODOT bridge inspectors provide the condition and inventory data necessary for the analysis of ODOT bridges. Applying criteria in twelve separate deficiency categories, and considering OTC and program goals and requirements, projects are selected on a statewide basis. After technical review and coordination with the Regions and the statewide Bridge Leadership __ Team, the State Bridge Engineer recommends a list of projects for inclusion in the STIP. The ', ; ~; role of ACTS, MPOs and regional or statewide advisory groups is to review the timing of the bridge replacement/rehabilitation projects as they relate to other local projects or issues; their ~ =' comments will be considered as part of the process. It is anticipated that these groups will pri- ~~ :~ marily enhance selected projects by leveraging additional funding or collateral community bene- " ` fits. ~_ D.1. Construction STIP Eligibility Criteria for Bridge Footnotes 16Bridge Management System State Bridge Project Selection This criterion applies to bridges on the State highway system only. Through an agreement be- `:..: tween the State and the Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) and the League of Oregon Cities (LOC), the federal Highway Bridge Program project funds are divided between the State and lo- ~ cal agencies based on the percentages of deficient bridges. Local bridge projects are covered ~ through a separate selection process. ~__. ~: ~. ~... ~ ~ _1 Page 217
