• <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> _ MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> FROM: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works Z( <br /> DATE: August 31, 1995 <br /> • --. - . . Brid.e <br /> Park and Recreation Commissioner Dave Long spoke with me yesterday <br /> about any maintenance concerns I might have regarding the <br /> Pedestrian Bridge that is proposed for TH 10 . I explained that <br /> maintenance of the bridge is a concern and was addressed by the <br /> interview team with the consultants that replied to the RFP. <br /> During each interview questions were _ asked about snow removal, <br /> graffiti, and painting. Each consultant responded that the bridge <br /> would be designed to require minimal maintenance . Concrete could be <br /> colored to eliminate painting. Snow removal equipment would have <br /> adequate access and clearance for operation. <br /> If this bridge were constructed, additional labor would be required <br /> to completely clear snow from the' edges of the bridge following a <br /> snow storm. This would occur after the bridge has been cleaned <br /> initially, and would prevent snow on the edges from melting and <br /> freezing on the bridge deck. If chemicals are necessary for <br /> deicing., and noncorrosive materials would be a relatively small <br /> additional expense. <br /> Staff does not expect that the maintenance of this structure will <br /> add a burden to the existing maintenance activities performed by <br /> the current staff-. If Council has any questions concerning <br /> maintenance of the proposed bridge, please feel free to call me. <br />
