Alderman seeks inspection report for Town Crossing bridge; staff schedules structural review
Summary
Alderman Fuquay said the Spring Hill Town Crossing bridge opened without a visible inspection report; staff said a structural engineer on staff or a contracted inspector will inspect the bridge and produce recommendations, with the meeting of inspectors planned the following Monday.
Alderman Fuquay raised concerns that the new Town Crossing bridge had opened but an inspection report had not been provided to the committee. He asked when the town could expect a completed inspection.
Staff said they had difficulty finding an independent inspector and plan to use a structural engineer on staff or move forward with a contracted inspection. The team planned an inspection meeting the next Monday and will produce recommendations after review. Staff noted the bridge has not been dedicated to the city and that if inspection work exceeds the town’s $25,000 threshold it may require Board of Mayor and Aldermen approval under procurement rules.
No formal action was taken; staff will pursue the inspection, report back to the committee and advise whether contract approvals or BOMA review are required depending on cost.
