BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM

Condition Trends




22/57


The use of grant programs (credit bridge, OPWC) allows us to

leverage our bridge replacement funds 2 to 1 over the next 6

years.

The next 6 years we have $6,941,250 worth of bridge

replacement projects planned and the countys portion is

$3,127,876.

6 YEAR PLAN REPLACES 46 BRIDGES, BUT 48 BRIDGES

BECOME DEFICIENT

Responsible Use of Bridge Funds


23/57


6 yr. bridge program replaces 46 bridges, but 48 bridges become deficient

39 load reduced replacement cost $4,820.483

79 deficient bridges replacement cost of $9,726.705

The Problem

Even with grant funding

Not able to make progress towards

the backlog of deficient bridges

Need to replace 17 bridges a year

for 10 years to catch up

Currently only able to do 7 per year

Revenue is decreasing while construction inflation is increasing

In 2006 Revenue was 7.2 M

In 2012 revenue was 6.8M

In 2005 Lic Co paid less than $29/ton for asphalt and $60/ton in 2012

Per CEAO since 2003 the costs for hotmix asphalt in place has risen from $27/ ton, to $74/ ton, a 270% increase;Redi-mix concrete has seen a 70% increase along with a 214% rise in reinforcing steel costs.
