1. SUBJECT
title
Approve the Eisenhower Park Bridge Repairs Project as part of the City’s Capital Improvement Program
body
2. SUMMARY
Establishment of a new Capital Improvement Project for Eisenhower Park Bridge Repairs is needed to address structural deterioration in a timely manner. The project scope will include minor design and bid support as well as full construction level repairs for structural bridge damage. The Eisenhower Park stream and waterfall channel has become undermined by divergent water flow resulting from years of erosion, which has compromised the foundation of the lower pedestrian/small vehicular bridge adjacent to the lake. The structural deterioration presents a potential safety concern; as such, the bridge is currently closed to park patrons and requires professional engineering services to investigate the conditions, develop repair recommendations, and prepare the necessary scope and specifications for construction. The appropriation request of $46,000.00 will fund engineering services and consultant support required for completion of the repair efforts.
