Grant Application: Boeing Access Road (BAR) Bridge over Burlington Northern Railroad (BNRR) Staff is seeking Committee approval to apply for funding from the Federal Highway Bridge Program to rehabilitate the Boeing Access Road Bridge over the Burlington Northern Railroad. Previous grant applications were submitted for this project in 2008 and 2010, but were unsuccessful. Feedback from the finding agency indicated that costs for the project were too high to complete in the program, so staff looked at the cost of rehabilitation of the bridge versus replacement. Estimated costs of rehabilitation are $12,182,000 as opposed to the $30 million for total replacement. Bridge rehabilitation results in monetai savings since existing support structures can be used if it is determined that they are structurally sound. This grant application will seek funding for rehabilitation in the amount of $12 million. If successful, a City match of 20% will be required (approximately $2.4 million), which is scheduled to be finded with a bond issue. Staff noted that the CIP page included in the agenda packet (page 30) reflects funding for bridge replacement, and not the nevv reduced finding reflecting rehabilitation costs. Staff confirmed for Committee members that an updated CIP page would be forthcoming in 2013. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL FROM TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE TO SUBMIT GRANT APPLICATION. D.
