On June 8, 2007, the NOACA Governing Board approved the following regarding this project: Resolution No. 2007-019 Project Planning Review Resolution No. 2007-020 Plan and TIP Amendment Title: Bridge Repairs at Various Locations throughout Cuyahoga, Geauga and Lake County Sponsor: ODOT 12 PID No: 82181 Estimated Total Cost: $1,500,000 Proposed Source of Federal Funds: ODOT History/Background: This project is included in ODOT District 12’s state fiscal year (SFY) 2008 Bridge Maintenance Program. Current Conditions: Roadway characteristics and average daily traffic (ADT) vary depending on roadway segment. Proposed Project: This project involves repairs to various bridges in Cuyahoga County- US-6, SR-14 , SR-17, I-71, I-90, I-480; Geauga County- SR-87; and Lake County- US-20, SR-86, IR-90 and SR-283. The work involves replacing the wearing surface of various structures - most of which currently have asphalt - and includes miscellaneous repairs to five railroad bridges. The estimated construction cost is $1,500,000. Ninety percent of the construction cost ($1,350,500) will be funded with Interstate Maintenance (I/M) and State Surface Transportation Program (S/STP) funds. ODOT will fund ten percent of the construction cost ($150,000). The project is expected to be awarded in February 2008. Staff Comment (Summary): Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Team: This project meets NOACA’s Connections 2030 Plan Goal # 3 (Preserve and Improve the Efficiency of the Transportation System) and ODOT’s Access Ohio Goal # 1 (System Preservation and Management). Move for committee and public review in order to obtain comments. Regional Transportation System (RTS) Team: There are 12 bridges are listed for repairs in ODOT District 12. Seven in Cuyahoga County, four in Lake County and one in Geauga County. The project information lists the repairs as New Wearing Surfaces on various structures and miscellaneous repairs to five bridges. The type of work to be preformed on each bridge is not specified. The general appraisals on these bridges range from 5-7 which is fair to good condition. The floor ratings are 1 or 2 on all structures which may indicate minor problems. 1= minor transverse cracks (spacing 20’ or more) 2= Transverse cracks evident on the bottom side (spacing 10’ to 20’) some could be leaking. Some spalling may be present 1-10% of total deck area. Of the 12 bridges, five have PCS (Protective Coating System) ratings which range between 4 and 9 This is a scale between 0-9, where zero means greater than 50% of the PCS has failed and nine means there is no evidence of corrosion the PCS system is fully intact.
