| | | | | | | | SUMMARY
The Cassel Bridge has been repaired and reopened. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
In August 2015, Caltrans determined that the footings underneath the Cassel – Fall River Road at Pit River Bridge had been undermined. On September 11, 2015, the bridge was closed to traffic. On October 13, 2015, the Board adopted a resolution proclaiming a local emergency. Repairs were designed and permitted. On July 19, 2016, a construction contract was awarded to DRS Marine, Inc. Grout-filled bags were placed around the scoured footings. A report was sent to Caltrans. On October 24, 2016, Caltrans rescinded the closure order. The Bridge has been reopened to traffic.
Bridge Replacement efforts are in progress. Historical and biological resources are involved. Environmental studies will extend into 2017. Right of way acquisition from Pacific Gas and Electric Company will follow. The project is anticipated to go to bid in 2018. |
| | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES
The Board may decline to file a Notice of Completion. The lien period would extend for 90 days instead of 30 days. |
| | | | | | | | OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
The resolution has been approved by County Counsel as to form. The recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCING
The total cost of this project was approximately $150,000. Federal Funds will cover 88.53%. Adequate funds were included in the Adopted FY 16/17 Road Fund budget. There is no General Fund impact. |
