Agenda 02/14/2012 Item #16A102/14/2012 Item 16.A.10.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Request approval to post load restrictions of "Single Unit Truck: 28 tons" and
"Combination Truck: 31 tons" on bridge numbers 030138, 030139, 030140 and 030141 east
of S.R. 29 on Immokalee Road; and post load restrictions of "Single Unit: 29 tons" on
bridge number 030161, on C.R. 29 over Chokoloskee Bay. Project Number 66066.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain approval to post load restrictions on five Collier County bridges to
promote the health, safety and welfare of the traveling public and to immediately comply with
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)/ Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA)
notification to posting weight limit restrictions. The County will also pursue studies to
determine measures to lift these restrictions via rehab, repair or replacement.
CONSIDERATIONS: On January 25, 2012, FDOT notified Collier County that the five (5)
bridges have to be load restricted and posted within 30 days. Bridge numbers 030138, 030139,
030140 and 030141 are respectively 4.5, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0 miles east of S.R. 29 on Immokalee
Road in an agricultural area east of Immokalee. Built in 1948 and 1949, those bridges are among
the oldest in Collier County. They are all classified as functionally obsolete; which means they
were built to the standards of their time but have since become outdated. The bridges are
currently in the 5 -year County Bridge Program to have bridge assessments completed to
determine if they should be repaired or replaced. If they can be repaired, they should also be
widened to meet today's standards. The bridge locations are depicted on the attached map.
Bridge number 030161 is 5.4 miles south of US -41 on C.R. 29 over Chokoloskee Bay. It was
built in 1954. It is currently experiencing scour of the west seawall which requires observation
and maintenance. It is in the 5 -year Bridge Program with design beginning soon for replacement
in 2014.
Bridge inspections are a federal program handed down to the MOT to administer. In the past
year FDOT has been completing a load rating analysis on all the bridges under its inspection per
FHWA direction. To accurately determine a load rating requires record drawings. In a great
share of the oldest bridges, record drawings do not exist. In the absence of record drawings
estimates are made based on physical measurements and visual inspection. The result can be a
conservative determination of the load carrying capacity.
Realizing that load limits on bridges negatively impact trucking operations, it is important that
the County act quickly to reduce or remove the load limits. At the same time the County needs
to keep in mind that these bridges were never designed for today's truck traffic. We have
requested that FDOT load test these bridges but this will take time. Staff will also arrange to
have a Structural Engineering Consultant review the load rating calculations; perform an
inspection by exposing deck reinforcing steel to determine its size, spacing and condition; and
recalculate the bridge load rating based on their findings.
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated $2,000 cost of installing signs will be from fund 101, Traffic
Operations. The estimated $75,000 cost to perform studies to determine the course of action to

lift the weight restrictions on these bridges will be funded from the Bridge Program, gas tax. It
may be necessary to shift priorities in the bridge program to address major repairs or
replacements.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: These bridges are currently inventoried in the Collier
County Bridge master list.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County
Attorney's Office, is legally sufficient for Board action and only requires a majority vote for
approval —SRT.
RECOMMENDATION: Request Board approval to post FDOT/FHWA mandated load
restrictions of "Single Unit Truck: 28 tons" and "Combination Truck: 31 tons on bridge numbers
030138, 030139, 030140 and 030141 east of S.R. 29 on Immokalee Road; and post load
restrictions of "Single Unit: 29 tons" on bridge number 030161, on C.R. 29 over Chokoloskee
Bay.

Dear Mr. Putaansuu.
Due to need to update the load rating information in our bridge management system utilizing
latest procedures for load rating structures, we identified the following posting requirement:
• According to the revised load rating analysis dated January 6, 2012 performed by FDOT, the
structure should be posted at or below the following: Single Unit Truck: 28 Tons, and
Combination Truck: 31 Tons. The bridge is currently not posted. Posting signs should be
installed to reflect the latest load rating.
You are hereby notified it is the County's responsibility to correct the above referenced posting
within thirty (30) days. The Florida Department of Transportation is governed by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) to monitor the corrective action for posting deficiencies. Please notify me in
writing of the action taken and date the correction was completed.
The County's prompt attention to this matter is required as non - compliance could result in the
loss of federal funding. Also, the County shall consider appropriate interim measures to ensure the safety
of the public use of the bridge, pending the installation of the appropriate signage.
Should any questions arise, please contact me at 813 -975 -7586.
