Council OKs $224,200 engineering package to assess and repair 22nd Street Bridge scour
Summary
City approved a $224,200 proposal from Gemini Engineering & Sciences to perform scour assessment, geotechnical and hydrologic analyses and design work for repairs to the 22nd Street Bridge following an FDOT scour-critical designation.
The council authorized a $224,200 purchase order to Gemini Engineering & Sciences Inc. to perform a scour assessment and structural evaluation for the 22nd Street Bridge, including geotechnical investigation and construction-phase engineering. City Manager Kyle said the bridge likely dates to about 1955 and FDOT identified scour issues; the engineering work will scope countermeasures intended to extend the structure's useful life an estimated 15–28 years.
Staff and council discussed design versus replacement; one councilmember recommended continuing to solicit replacement bids to inform long-term budgeting, and staff confirmed that the approved contract covers design and post-design construction-phase engineering but that the construction work itself will be bid separately.
