Commissioners approve $1.032 million plan to replace Reeds Mill Road bridge superstructure
Summary
Following an engineering review, Franklin County contracted Calderwood Engineering for a superstructure replacement of the Reeds Mill Road bridge at a quoted $1,032,000, with the board citing long-term lifecycle cost considerations.
County engineers presented two options for the Reeds Mill Road bridge: a superstructure rehabilitation that is roughly $160,000 less up front, and a full superstructure replacement. The board voted to pursue the superstructure replacement and contract Calderwood Engineering at a cost of $1,032,000.
Minutes state the rehabilitation option would likely require repainting in roughly 30 years and could cost more over the intended 75-year lifecycle because of inflation and maintenance; the replacement was selected on those lifecycle and long-term cost grounds. The motion to contract was recorded as passing 3–0.
