| ° Submittal Process
WSDOT is announcing the availability of $60 million of FHWA funding for improvements of local agency
bridges. The purpose of the Federal Local Bridge program is to improve the condition of local agency
bridges while ensuring no more than 1096 of the National Highway System (NHS) bridge deck area is
on structurally deficient bridges. The local bridge program funds maybe utilized for replacement,
rehabilitation and preventative maintenance. Preventative maintenance is defined as steel bridge
painting, scour mitigation, seismic retrofit and deck repair.
For Replacement and Rehabilitation projects, VVSDOT is focusing on funding local agency bridges that
are classified as structurally deficient and meet the following criteria:
• Structurally deficient bridges with a sufficiency rating of less than 40 for replacement
candidates.
• Structurally deficient bridges with a sufficiency rating of less than 80 for rehabilitation
candidates.
Preventative Maintenance projects must be submitted as an individual application and meet one of the
following four categories:
• Bridge painting projects- only structures that have greater than two percent of total paint area
in a condition state 3 are eligible.
• Scour mitigation projects - priority will be given to structures that are scour critical based on
the submitted documentation.
• Seismic retrofit projects priority will be given tostructures in higher risk seismic zones based
on the submitted documentation.
• Deck resurfacing and repair only structures that have a total area of two percent or greater of
patches and spa||s in the deck surface (condition state J plus condition state 3) are eligible,
Eligible Applicants
All local agencies who currently own a bridge that meets the above criteria are eligible to apply.
Funding
A total of $60 million of federal funds is available. The maximum individual project funding from the
program is limited to$12 million.
Match requirement
Replacement and rehabilitation projects require a 20 percent local match. Projects that proceed to
construction by 2021 are eligible for a lower local match requirement of 13.5 percent.
Preventative maintenance projects are limited to a maximum of $3 million in federal funds per bridge
and will require 13.5 percent local match; projects that proceed toconstruction by 2021 are eligible
for 100 percent federal funding for eligible costs.
