RECOMMENDATION:
That Tender T18-088 Sandrock Greenway Pedestrian Bridge Replacement, be awarded to
Engineered ConcreteLimited, Kitchener, Ontario, at their tendered price of $220,120.,
including provisional items and contingencies of $26,500., plus H.S.T. of $28,615.60, for
a total of $248,735.60.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Kitchener owns andoperates 65 pedestrian bridges of various design and conditions
located across the city. The city conducts regular maintenance inspections as well as bi-annual
engineering inspections guided by the Ontario Structure Inspection Manual (OSIM).
Sandrock Greenway Pedestrian Bridge (Bridge ID 863) is a concrete double tee bridge installed
in 1979. The structure was identified for further investigation and monitoring due to observation
of structural concrete cracking. The follow up investigation undertaken overthe fall and winter
of 2017 concluded that based on the age of the structure, the progressive concrete cracking,
present value of the bridge, and short/long term cost-benefit analysis, replacement of the bridge
in its current location is the preferred rehabilitation method.Ultimately, the precast concrete
structure reached the end of its lifespan and is beyond the point of repair.
The bridge was closed immediately for public use in January 2018 in preparation for removal
and replacement in the fall of 2018with the bridge being re-opened October 30, 2018.
