Agenda 01/09/2018 Item #16A1601/09/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chair to execute Contract Number 16-7011,
“Professional Design and Related Services for Palm River Boulevard over Palm River Canal Bridge
Replacement Project 66066 (Bridge Number 034046)” in the amount of $560,680 with CH2M Hill
Engineers, Inc. and authorize the necessary budget amendment.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: To obtain professional engineering design and related services for a replacement of the
bridge on Palm River Boulevard over the Palm River Canal to maintain a safe and reliable transportation
route.
CONSIDERATIONS: Bridge inspection reports and condition letters received from the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT), which detail the deficiencies in the timber foundations and the
year of construction (1960), were all considered in determining the need to replace the Palm River
Boulevard Bridge. Direct access to 464 homes in the area makes addressing the co ndition of this Bridge a
priority.
At the January 10, 2017 BCC (Board of County Commissioners) meeting, the Board approved Agenda
Item 16A5, accepted the selection committee’s ranking and authorized staff to negotiate a contract with
the top ranked firm, CH2M Hill Engineers, Inc. Staff negotiated an agreement with the consultant to
perform design, post design and related services in the total amount of $560,680. This contract will allow
staff to obtain the professional engineering design and related services necessary to develop construction
plans and related documents for the replacement of the bridge. During design, staff will continue to
monitor the condition of the bridge and take additional temporary measures, as necessary, to maintain the
serviceability of the structure until it is replaced.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds to be provided as follows:
Project Number Department Fund Amount Source of Funds
66066 GMD 313 $ 463,762 Gas Tax
70192 PUD 412 $ 34,959 Water
70192 PUD 414 $ 61,959 Wastewater
TOTAL: $ 560,680
A budget amendment in the amount of $61,959 is needed to complete PUD’s scope of work.
Approval of this item will not have an impact on operational and maintenance costs; however, the
completed project can be expected to have the following operational and maintenance impacts: minimal
to no maintenance costs are expected to be incurred within the first 5 to 7 years of service for the new
bridge and roadway features, and future costs will be absorbed into the regular maintenance schedule
thereafter.
The construction project is planned for the later part of FY19, with an expected cost of $4.5 to $6.5
million. The bridge replacement has been approved by the Board as part of the five year Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). The new stormwater features will require minimal maintenance that will be
absorbed into the regular maintenance schedule resulting in minimal cost impact.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The project is in conformance with the goals and objectives of
the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan.

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The CONSULTANT shall investigate the status of the project and become familiar
with concepts and commitments (typical sections, alignments, etc.) developed from
prior studies and/or activities.
The principle intent of this project is to replace an obsolete bridge on Palm
River Boulevard in Collier County, Florida.
Bridge number:
034046 / Palm River Blvd.
The existing bridge foundations are timber piles of unknown depth. The bridge is
experiencing exponential timber pile decay.
The primary objective of this project is to replace the bridge identified herein as
soon as possible while limiting ancillary work to only what is necessary and/or
required to replace the bridge and provide safe roadway approaches per applicable
codes, guidelines, regulations, permitting agency requirements, etcetera.
The roadway approaches to the bridge shall be resurfaced/reconstructed as
necessary to satisfy the latest (at the time this Contract is executed) FDOT criteria.
If reconstruction is used, the proposed pavement thickness shall match the existing
pavement thickness as verified by taking cores of the existing pavement before and
after the bridge. As a minimum, the design typical roadway section shall extend to
the ends of the required guardrail systems. Appropriate tapers back to the existing
roadway sections shall be provided beyond each guardrail system end. It is
anticipated that the Palm River Boulevard roadway improvements will extend from
the North side of the intersection of Viking Way (to the North) to the South side of
the intersection of Palm View Drive (to the South).
See section 2.1 for typical section information.
Additional project related environmental mitigation improvements and/or wildlife
protection features outside of the contractual project limits may be identified during
project development. The CONSULTANT shall provide additional services to
incorporate these improvements into the design at the request of the COUNTY. The
scope of the additional services will be determined at the time the services are
requested. These additional services are not included in this scope and will be
implemented via Change Order. When applicable, the staff hourly rates established
in the contract shall be utilized for fee determination.
In general, the CONSULTANT will be required to obtain/produce all permits, studies
and reports necessary to design the project and deliver the final deliverables.

Manual (PPM). Deviations from the criteria and processes provided in the
PPM must be approved by the COUNTY in writing.
Typical Section: In general, the replacement bridge and roadway approaches
shall be designed to facilitate two lanes of traffic with shoulders per the latest
FDOT design criteria and will include pedestrian/bicycle access features.
The CONSULTANT shall coordinate with the COUNTY during the design to
establish the final typical section(s) for the project. The CONSULTANT shall
coordinate with the COUNTY to determine future widening needs of the
bridge and incorporate these needs into the design.
The posted speed limit is:
25mph
The desired design speed is:
30mph Note: This will require raising the Bridge/Roadway profile to provide
sufficient sight distance. This will be evaluated while considering the
geometric and elevation constraints of the two intersections on either end of
the project. If 30 MPH is not attainable, the CONSULTANT will maximize the
design speed while remaining within the project limits.
Pavement Design: The CONSULTANT shall provide all pavement designs
required for the project and considering existing conditions. Note: Pavement
Designs will be based on traffic projections and LDC Criteria. No physical
