It was built in 1935 and rebuilt in 1960. It was <br /> originally budgeted to have a contractor build the bridge but during the budget process the <br /> project was change to have the county build the bridge. The material will be bid out and the <br /> county will prime the steel. This will be a cost savings of about $12,000.00. The design has to <br /> follow the newest bridge design specifications. Olsson & Associates has the experience to do <br /> this. The county will do the surveying and the engineering work. Olsson only charges for the <br /> actual time. The cost is higher than in the past because of the additional requirements for <br /> wetlands and the 404 permitting. <br /> Bredthauer noted the original cost that was budgeted and that was lowered to $169,000.00. <br /> She noted that this is an old iron bridge that has not washed away. She expressed concern on <br /> the engineering costs and that it would come in over budget. She asks if it would be completed <br /> this year. <br /> Bredthauer made a motion to delay this for 2 weeks. <br /> 5 <br />
