Colorado M
creates Project Account CI2446 for Pueblo 18th Street Rehabilitation Project, transfers
$112,000 for the required 20% match from Project Account HUAN01, and budgets and
appropriates funds totaling $560,000 for the Project.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
This Ordinance accepts the Off-System Bridge Program (BRO) grant award for 18th
Street Bridge.
The City submitted a grant to CDOT for the 18th Street Bridge Rehab Project.
West Side has always been somewhat disconnected and isolated from the rest of
Pueblo. Just last year, the remaining two blocks of W. 18th have been built. Now there
is a complete connection between the W. 18th St bridge and CO State Hwy 45A.
th
The 18 Street bridge, built in 1973, spans across Wildhorse and Dry Creek. The
culverts and surrounding area are in need of maintenance and repairs and are
necessary to prolong the life of the culverts and bridge structure, to ensure the culverts
are functioning as designed in the floodway, and have the intended flow capacity
needed. Upon inspection, the City of Pueblo has determined that the culverts are 20-
35% full of sediment which needs to be removed. Once the sediment is removed, all
five culverts will be lined with Culvert Armoring to combat the rusting and pin holes.
This lining should increase the service life of the culverts by 50 years.
A substantial amount of erosion has occurred on the upstream and downstream side of
the culverts that will require regrading. The regrading will allow for a more distributed
flow among the culverts. There are a numerous number of trees and shrubs hindering
flow that will be removed. Removing these trees and shrubs will protect the culverts and
bridge structure from any displacement or abrasions from the root systems. A rip rap
apron will be placed at the inlets and outlets to prevent these erosion and sediment
issues from occurring again. Additionally, crack-sealing and guardrail replacement will
complete the rehabilitation.
The Department of Public Works has reviewed and is familiar with the grant application,
award, and associated draft agreement, and to the best of our knowledge and belief,
the City has the present ability to comply with all monetary expenditures, special
conditions, certifications and assurances therein contained.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The matching funds in the amount of $112,000.00 will be transferred from Project
Account HUAN01, Street Resurfacing to Project Account CI2446, 18th Street Bridge
Rehabilitation. Funds in the amount of $560,000.00 shall be budgeted and appropriated
for Project Account CI2446.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
Currently, there are no alternatives for completing the improvements without the
funding from the Off-System Bridge Program funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Ordinance.
