County hires Origin Design to perform three bridge load ratings for $7,000
Summary
Board approved a $7,000 contract with Origin Design (Dubuque) to complete load ratings on three bridges by Dec. 31 to comply with national bridge inspection standards; county engineer said the work will be funded from FY27 professional services.
The board approved a resolution contracting with Origin Design of Dubuque, Iowa, to perform load ratings on three county bridges at a cost of $7,000. County Engineer Kathy Nicholas told the board that load ratings must be completed by Dec. 31 to comply with national bridge inspection standards and federal highway policies, and that the $7,000 will come from the FY27 professional services budget.
Nicholas said the work is part of routine bridge maintenance and compliance work and does not necessarily mean load postings or weight reductions for the structures; she said the national audit found some bridges lacked proper load ratings in the electronic file and the contract will address that need. The resolution was moved, seconded and approved by roll call.
