City of Tukwila <br />Allen Ekberg, Mayor <br />TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Committee <br />FROM: Bob Giberson, Public Works Director <br />By: Steve Carstens, P.E., Sr. Program Manager <br />CC: Mayor Ekberg <br />DATE: February 24, 2017 <br />SUBJECT: 2017 Bridge Program — Bridge Repairs /Maintenance <br />Project No. 91710402 <br />On -Call Engineering Support Services <br />ISSUE <br />Approve an On -Call Engineering Support Services contract with TranTech Engineering, LLC (TranTech) for the <br />2017 Bridge Program. <br />atoll] <br />There are several issues effecting the Annual Bridge Program this year. The Federal Highway Administration <br />(FHWA) has adopted new bridge load rating requirements that take effect within two years and necessitate <br />updating our existing bridge inventory load ratings. The Bridge Replacement Advisory Committee (BRAC) has <br />grant funding applications due in mid -April 2017 and the City has two structures that may be eligible for this <br />funding. The S 119th St Pedestrian bridge also requires additional work to complete its maintenance. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Tukwila has selected TranTech to provide support services for the 2017 Bridge Program through an on -call <br />services scope of work. TranTech was selected based on their extensive familiarity with the City's bridge <br />program. This contract will allow the City to address the new FHWA requirements, BRAC grant applications, <br />and complete maintenance on the S 119th St Pedestrian Bridge. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />TranTech has provided an estimated cost of $90,000.00 to perform the work as outlined in the attached scope <br />of work. The remaining 2017 Bridge Program funds have been analyzed and the estimated project costs are <br />within budget. <br />TranTech Enaineerina On -Call Services <br />Bridge Load Rating Updates <br />S 119th St Pedestrian Bridge <br />BRAC Funding Assistance <br />Misc.
