GUEST MEMBER
Guest member Roger Hansen distributed his outlined analysis of the July 2008 bridge report, engineer’s presentation of the Financial Feasibility Study, and membership concerns. He stressed the need for a full conditional survey (inspection) of the bridge to assess its current condition, determine repair needs, and to provide supporting information for an estimation of the structure’s life expectancy. He recommended criteria for the selection of an all-inclusive engineering firm that the Club could rely on in upcoming years to perform inspections as needed, provide engineering specifications for repairs, oversight throughout repair projects, and ultimately design a new bridge. Roger recommended Berger/Abam Engineers for this purpose and supported their submitted proposal.
