Motion Carried

For 2009, the per bridge cost for inspecting each bridge is $198.00, for a total cost of $5,544.00.  This cost includes all work required to complete the inspections, submit all required inspection paperwork to the County and MDOT, and update the calculations to analyze all of the required truck configurations for all 28 bridges in the NBI.  The cost to complete the QC review is $594.00 (3 x $198.00).

These prices include all costs, such as mileage, expenses, and completion of all required paperwork for all 28 bridges in 2009.

The above costs are based on the current MDOT, AASHTO, and FHWA bridge inspection requirements and guidelines.  In the event that additional requirements are imposed, the above costs may be reevaluated and negotiated with the County.

Proposal is in the Board Minutes Letters & Petitions file.
