Board awards Pier Lane Bridge rehabilitation contract to Zenith Tech for $122,450
Summary
The Port Washington Board of Public Works awarded a $122,450 contract to Zenith Tech to rehabilitate the Pier Lane Bridge abutment, addressing exposed reinforcement and beam cracking.
The Port Washington Board of Public Works voted June 10 to award the Pier Lane Bridge rehabilitation contract to Zenith Tech for $122,450.
City staff described corrosion and exposed reinforcement at the Pierre Lane abutment and recommended the low bidder, Zenith Tech, for the work. The contract covers structural repairs below the bridge deck and is budgeted within the department’s capital plan.
A staff presentation detailed visible corrosion and cracking at the Pier Lane Bridge, noting exposed rebar and damaged beam areas. The presenter explained the chosen repairs: “this exposed reinforcement is gonna get fiber wrapped... and a surface of concrete is gonna go back over everything so we get our our standard 2 to 3 inches of cover over the rebar.” The work will also include installation of sacrificial anodes to slow future corrosion.
Board members asked about visible surface changes and traffic impacts; staff said the repairs are all under the deck and expected to require at most a single-lane closure for equipment access. The project received three bids, with Zenith Tech the low bidder and described in the packet as experienced and qualified.
Alderman Tierney moved to accept staff recommendation to award the project to Zenith Tech for $122,450; the motion was seconded by Committee member Haley and carried by voice vote.
Staff advised that construction timing would depend on the contractor’s schedule and the contract requirement that the work be completed by year end.
