ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
And City Engineer Dan Hudson is here. Mr. Hudson.
Dan Hudson, City Engineer
Thank you Mr. Mayor. So late last year we selected Hoyle Tanner & Associates for engineering services and
that was for highway, bridge, traffic and bicycle pedestrian work. It is intended to be a multi-year contract that’s
why it is going through this process here, a multi-year contract whereby we negotiate terms and then we can
issue task orders as needs arise that we can’t handle internally for whatever reason. We are bringing this
together with task order one which is for a review of our pedestrian bridges; highway bridges are regularly
reviewed by DOT the on a periodic basis but pedestrian bridges are not. And we have a number of them in our
parks and other places. So this task here is for them to an assessment and look at those and give us some
recommendations about any treatment that they may need.
Mayor Donchess
Alright, you’ve heard Mr. Hudson, of course. Any questions or comments? Alderwoman Klee?
Alderman Klee
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. When you said about the pedestrian bridge, are you talking about, for instance, those
that are like in Mine Falls that are going over the river and so on? It is not any of the overpasses that are from
the highway or anything of that nature, correct. That would be DOT?
Mr. Hudson
Yeah most of those are DOT but for instance we have some rail trail bridges which cross City Streets, those
that wouldn’t necessarily be reviewed by DOT. But, yes, primarily it is those bridges that are in parks such as
Mine Falls.
Alderman Klee
Thank you.
Mayor Donchess
Anyone else? Alright, could the Clerk please call the roll?
