REGULAR PZEETING Or TIiE ORONO COUNCIL, JANUARY 23, 1978 Page 32 NOERENBERG BRIDGE . (Continued) Section S-1 Insurance, paragraph 5-1.1 and S;1.2 Section S-6 Responsibility for Dama�e Claims, paragraph 5-6.1 It may be advisable for the City Attorney to review the adequacy of these provisions. Section S-24 Maintenance of Traffic, paragraph 5-24.1 This section provides that all traffic shall be excluded from bridge during repair work. This section also provides for the protection of boat traffic from falling objects during construc- � tion. The section implies, but does not specifically state that all debris from construction will be prevented from entering the channel. Section S-25 Time Schedule, paragraph S-25.1 This section indicates that no work that would disturb the traveled roadway can start before June 12, 1978 and that all work shall be completed within 25 working days after traffic has been excluded from CSAH No. 51. No attempt has been made in this review to judge the details of the design or the technical aspects of the specifications and they are presumed to be adequate. Regarding those aspects of the project which affect the City of Orono, we offer the following recoimnendations; 1. The Special Provisions of the Specifications should be clarified to specifically require the prompt removal of any debris, concrete chunks, floating material or other items resulting from construction activity that may enter the channel either directly or indirectly. 2. Construction is scheduled to start on or about 12 June 1978 and be com- pleted in 25 working days or approximately the 3rd week in July. There are two other projects which are contemplated for construction in 1978 - the Tanager Bridge and the Orono-Long I,ake Interceptor. These two proj- ects will require the closure of portions of Co. Rd. 15 and therefore the establishment of necessary detour routes. The City should review potential detour routes for both the Noerenberg Bridge Project and the Tanager Bridge, Orono-Long Lake Interceptor Projects to ensure the com- patability of the two detour systems that will be required. 3. Subject to the above two items and subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form and execution, we recommend that the City of Orono approve Hennepin County Project No. 7702 and that the Mayor, the City Clerk and the City Engineer be authorized to sign the necessary documents and plans where appropriate. We are returning by separate cover, the plans and other items supplied by your office. End of letter t�iayor Van Nest moved, Pesek seconded, to forward the above letter to Fiennepin County for their review and comments. Motion, Ayes (3) - Nays (0) .
