Council awards $334,000 bid for epoxy overlay on two Buck Creek bridges
Summary
Council awarded a low bid of approximately $334,000 for epoxy overlay preventive maintenance on two bridges over Buck Creek (54th Street and Clay Avenue) to extend service life by roughly 10 years and avoid much costlier replacement.
The council approved an award for a bridge-deck epoxy overlay project covering two spans over Buck Creek at 54th Street and Clay Avenue. Staff reported engineering inspections identified surface cracks, expansion joint replacement needs and minor concrete repairs; the low bid for the combined work on both bridges was reported to be about $334,000.
During discussion staff emphasized preventive maintenance benefits and said the epoxy overlay should extend service life by roughly 10 years, helping avoid larger replacement costs (one recent replacement cited was about $1,000,000). Council moved and approved the award by roll call.
